Chapter 677: Diamonds Stolen
The owner of the land that the Huo family acquired last time was invited by the Huo family and came to the banquet specially.
The owner of the land was a foreigner. He had bought the estate to bury his beloved wife. Later, a geographer discovered that the land had special geological features, so he had to sell it off.
That day, he saw the two of them, so in love, and the memories of the past reappeared in his mind. He inexplicably aroused a strange feeling in his heart, and he also cheered for the two people's intense feelings.
Huo Juncheng smiled slightly, hugged Lin Yilan, and looked at her with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. The two of them warmly entertained the owner of the land.
"It is an honor for our Huo family to invite you this time." The two shook hands, and their words and actions revealed the harmony between the two sides.
The landowner laughed heartily. "No, no, Mr. Huo, you're joking. I'm truly honored to be invited by you. You young people, to be honest, I always get a certain inexplicable feeling when I see you. It's this special feeling that led me to transfer the land to the Huo family. Otherwise, I would have sold the land to someone else."
Lin Yilan interrupted, her delicate features radiating sunshine and cheerfulness. She smiled and said to the owner of the land, "Then we have to thank you very much, hahaha. Isn't that right, Ah Cheng?"
Huo Juncheng looked at her affectionately, touched her head, held Lin Yilan's small hand, and interlocked their fingers, which was very ambiguous.
With a smile on his face, he looked at the owner of the land and said, "Of course."
The owner of the land was clearly fed up with their display of affection and quickly said, "Let's talk about it later. When you get married, just treat me to a drink. I'm too old to watch you young people display affection. I'll go over there and take a look. You guys chat."
The two men did not try to stop him. They both said at the same time, "Okay, then we'll go and entertain the others first. You can enjoy your visit."
Almost everyone had arrived, and the two of them were welcoming them warmly.
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng and raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to speak, Huo Juncheng asked with concern, "Lanlan, are you hungry? Do you want to go eat something first?"
Lin Yilan obviously didn't mean that. She turned her head away to look at the various delicacies on the table in the distance, and smoothed the hair by her ear.
I'm a little hungry now. I've been entertaining you for so long, so I'll have something to eat first. The exhibition is about to start.
Lin Yilan smiled at Huo Juncheng and said, "Okay, just eat a little."
Huo Juncheng hugged her, and Lin Yilan felt a little uncomfortable. She said in a disgusted tone, "I feel uncomfortable when you hug me. Take it away quickly."
Huo Juncheng felt a little aggrieved and hugged Lin Yilan's waist even tighter, looking pitiful. If outsiders saw Huo Juncheng like this, they would be shocked. The dignified CEO of Huo Group was actually acting like a spoiled child in front of a woman!
"Lanlan, I just like hugging you, is that not possible? Is that not possible?" Huo Juncheng shook her hand.
Lin Yilan looked at him helplessly, and had no choice but to oblige him, "Okay, okay, hug me as much as you want. I really can't do anything with you."
There were all kinds of desserts and drinks on the table. Lin Yilan picked up a piece of cake and started eating.
Huo Juncheng watched her eat. Her cherry lips were covered in cream, which looked delicious. Her Adam's apple rolled up and down. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her lower abdomen actually reacted. Huo Juncheng thought to himself: What a sin.
Seeing a pair of fiery eyes staring at her, Lin Yilan glanced at him and said, "Something's wrong with you."
His thin lips curled slightly, his eyes burning as if he had seen prey. The little rabbit in front of him was so charming, and his words were teasing, "I'm suddenly so hungry too."
When Lin Yilan heard him say that, her body trembled slightly. She quickly stuffed the remaining half of the cake in her hand into his mouth, her eyes wandering. "Eat yours. We still have to go to Grandpa Sun later."
The diamond exhibition was about to begin, and after eating, the two walked towards the exhibition center.
As soon as he walked in, he saw several people looking anxious, not knowing what to do. Huo Juncheng walked up to them and asked with a serious expression, "What's going on?"
The person who was guarding the diamond was trembling, and when he saw Huo Juncheng coming, he couldn't speak clearly.
"Huo, Huo... Mr. Huo, that diamond, the diamond, is lost!"
When Huo Juncheng heard that the diamond was lost because of his carelessness, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes. He restrained himself and did not want to lash out, because Yilan was still here and he couldn't scare her. He calmly replied, "Why did it disappear? Weren't you guarding it the whole time?"
Lin Yilan frowned, wanting to ease the atmosphere and ask the guard to speak properly, but she didn't know how to do it, so she had to keep silent.
Seeing how angry Mr. Huo was, the guards panicked and immediately knelt down, almost kowtowing.
"I... I don't know either, I just..."
At the door, Grandpa Sun suddenly fell down, mumbling "medicine... medicine" incoherently. It was obvious that Grandpa Sun had heard what they had just said and knew that the precious diamonds he had treasured for many years had been stolen, so he suddenly had a heart attack.
When Lin Yilan saw Grandpa Sun, she was the first to react. She ran over, helped Grandpa Sun up, and searched his bag for the medicine bottle.
Fortunately, Lin Yilan is filial and always carries Grandpa Sun’s medicine with her to avoid future troubles.
Lin Yilan took out two pills, lowered her head to look at Grandpa Sun who was gasping for breath, and shouted to them, "Where's the water? Go get some water." Huo Juncheng just happened to come over with a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Yilan. Lin Yilan quickly fed the medicine to Grandpa Sun.
After a while, Grandpa Sun finally came to his senses, his eyes a little hazy.
Lin Yilan said to the housekeeper who had just arrived: "Take Grandpa Sun to his room to rest."
Huo Juncheng sealed off the entire banquet, had Gao Long and Gao Hu guard it, and ordered them not to let anyone escape. He then called the police.
Grandpa Sun was lying on the bed, his hands covering his chest, which was still aching. He looked at the guards with a heavy heart.
Grandpa Sun couldn't believe that his diamond was lost, and asked him, "Is the diamond really lost?"
The guard lowered his head, not daring to meet the old man's sharp gaze. The atmosphere around him was very solemn. "Yes, yes."
Grandpa Sun took a deep breath, looked him over, and continued, "How did it get lost? Where did you go? Ah, such a big diamond disappeared without a trace, why didn't you lose it too?"
The guard knelt down again, and the old man was so imposing that he didn't dare to say anything.
"Grandpa, I don't know what happened. I just turned my mind and the diamond was gone. I really don't know what happened. Grandpa, please don't let me go to jail. I have elderly parents and young children to support. My whole family depends on me, grandpa..." The guard was crying and speaking the truth.
Lin Yilan looked at him and quickly persuaded him, "Grandpa Sun, don't be anxious. You see, he didn't do it on purpose, right? Let's wait until the police come. Grandpa Sun, calm down, calm down."
Such a big diamond, just thrown away?
Huo Juncheng didn't believe in coincidences. Someone must have been eyeing Grandpa Sun's diamonds for a long time, and only now could they get close to him.
"Mr. Huo, the diamond incident is a big deal. But you can't keep us all trapped here, right? Since we've already called the police, we might as well just go our separate ways."
