Chapter 679 Everyone is happy
The man who spoke was Li Meng, known as the Little Prince of Sales in Haicheng. He had no background or wealth, only a big mouth!
How did such a man get into the top banquet organized by Grandpa Sun?
"Li Meng?" Huo Juncheng's eyes were cold and stern, his powerful aura seeming to encompass the entire magnetic field of the area. His voice was deep and pleasant, and just by standing there, no one in the elegantly dressed crowd dared to refute his words.
"Chairman Sun's diamonds are missing. If anyone wants to distance themselves from this matter, the best way is to stand here and wait for the police to investigate! Anyone eager to leave is probably suspicious."
Li Meng's body stiffened. He was not stupid and naturally knew what this meant. There was nothing he could do but stay and wait quietly for the police to come.
Soon, Chief Zhang arrived and cordoned off the scene.
"Director Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter." The man's low and magnetic voice sounded.
"Mr. Huo, you're welcome."
"Now that the diamond is lost, we need everyone's cooperation in the body search." Director Zhang looked at everyone and then started the search.
Everyone present was a prominent figure, and they were very unhappy about being searched, but even though they were unwilling, they had no choice but to cooperate with the search.
Soon everyone present was searched, but nothing was found.
"Head, we've already searched everything."
Seeing this, Huo Juncheng frowned slightly and opened his thin lips slightly, "After discovering that the diamond was missing, I immediately had people seal off the scene. It should be impossible for it to be taken away."
If the diamond was really stolen by someone with ulterior motives, I think it should still be hidden in a corner. No one would be stupid enough to keep it on their body now.
Director Zhang nodded, and then ordered someone to start a carpet search.
Some people were getting impatient waiting.
"If anyone has taken the diamonds, it would be better if they could give them back on their own initiative. Isn't this just wasting everyone's time?" someone complained dissatisfiedly.
"That's right."
Li Meng noticed that some people were looking at him, and his fists hanging at his sides clenched unconsciously. He could clearly feel the resentment of others towards him, which was simply because he had no background or identity.
He was very regretful at this moment. If he had known this would happen, he would not have tried to find a way to get in today.
The main reason is that this diamond is too precious.
Huo Juncheng's cold gaze was always observing every move of the people present.
Soon someone came running over, "Boss, we've found it."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No one wanted anything to happen. If they really couldn't find it, they probably wouldn't be able to find it either.
"Who took the diamond?" someone asked impatiently.
Everyone looked at Director Zhang curiously, wanting to know who was the one with the dirty hands.
The subordinate scratched his head in embarrassment, "The diamond is now in the hands of a child."
Afterwards, everyone went to the back garden together, and sure enough, they saw another little boy in exquisite clothes playing with a diamond in his hand. He looked to be only five or six years old.
Seeing this, everyone was speechless. No one would have thought that such a valuable diamond was taken away by a child just for fun.
"Whose child is this? Don't the adults keep a closer eye on him?" someone couldn't help but speak up.
Just because the child is too playful, it has wasted everyone's time, which has caused some dissatisfaction, and some people look at the child with blaming eyes.
At this time, someone looked at the child and felt that he looked very familiar.
"Isn't this kid Professor Yun's? I saw him following Professor Yun before."
"It seems so. This one seems to be Professor Yun's child."
Those who were originally dissatisfied suddenly dared not say anything.
No one expected that this child was actually the son of a relatively famous professor in Haicheng. They were all in the same circle and had more or less heard of each other's reputation.
At this time, the child's parents rushed over. Professor Yun did not expect that it was his own child who took such a precious diamond.
"Everyone, I'm so sorry." Professor Yun said with a sincere apology on his face.
Professor Yun walked up to the child and squatted down. "Xiao Yu, take out the diamond."
Hearing this, the child looked at his father somewhat displeasedly. He was unwilling to take the things out and simply hid them behind his back.
Seeing this, Professor Yun looked at his child with some embarrassment.
Huo Juncheng raised his foot and wanted to step forward, but at this moment, Lin Yilan reached out and grabbed his arm. The man looked at her with some confusion.
"Don't go."
Afterwards, Lin Yilan walked over to the child, took out a piece of candy, and handed it to the child, saying in a coaxing tone, "You are Xiao Yu, right? Sister will exchange the candy with you for the thing in your hand, okay? This thing is very important to me."
The child raised his eyes, staring at her with his dark eyes for a long time, with a troubled look on his fair and tender face.
Lin Yilan found it a little funny. "Does Xiaoyu like this diamond too? It's very beautiful, right? But this thing belongs to Grandpa Sun. If Xiaoyu loses something so important to him, won't he be very sad too?"
The child nodded.
"Shouldn't we return the diamond to its rightful owner now? But we still want to thank Xiao Yu for keeping it for us. How about I trade it for some candy?"
"Okay." The child's soft voice sounded.
Lin Yilan successfully took the brick from the child's hand, and then reached out to touch his soft hair. "Xiao Yu is really good, but Xiao Yu, don't take things carelessly when the time comes."
There was a hint of embarrassment on the little boy's fair face, and he looked very well-behaved.
The child's parents looked at Lin Yilan with gratitude. They knew that their child had done something wrong, but they didn't want this incident to affect the child.
"Thank you, Ms. Lin." Professor Yun's face was full of sincerity.
Lin Yilan chuckled, "It's okay, Xiao Yu didn't mean it. We are also responsible for not having someone keep it safe."
This is how a little kid would take away something so important.
Huo Juncheng looked at her with some confusion. The man's deep and magnetic voice rang out, "Why are you doing this?"
Lin Yilan looked at the confusion in his eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly. She knew his temper. If she let him go up directly, although she could get the diamond back directly, doing it his way would not take other people's feelings into consideration.
"He's just a kid of a few years old, and he's at the age where he loves to play the most. Even though he was wrong, it was unnecessary. Isn't it good like this now? It won't have any lifelong impact on the child." Lin Yilan explained.
It would be cruel if this incident had a lifelong impact on the child and ruined his life.
"Everyone needs to pay for their own mistakes." Huo Juncheng couldn't help but speak.
Lin Yilan pursed her lips slightly. "You're actually right, but he's still young and didn't do it on purpose. There's no need to be so petty with a child. Now that the diamond has been found, isn't it better for everyone to be happy?"
