However, this was to be expected; either the boxes were empty or they had been switched.
If the box is empty, then Yan Xiluo will speak.
If they are to be switched, then Yan Zhiguo will be the one to speak.
The fact that they handed over the Yan family's patriarchal token to Yan Xiluo at the birthday banquet was also something they deliberately leaked to him.
Otherwise, how could we catch a turtle in a jar?
"What? How could it be empty?"
Yan Zhiguo feigned shock, while Yan Youting beside him pretended to be unsettled as well.
Apart from those two people and those who already knew about the plan.
Everyone present, except those people, was equally astonished.
They even started whispering to each other.
Liao Yufang was extremely anxious; she seemed much more worried than Yan Zhiguo.
"It really is empty. We've searched the inner compartments, but there's nothing there either."
Yan Xiluo even took out the velvet inside and shook it to check it again and again.
So that everyone present can see it clearly.
"Someone come here! Seal off the hotel immediately and then retrieve the surveillance footage."
Yan Youting proceeded according to plan, immediately instructing his people to do so. Those who received the instructions quickly relayed them, and the staff on site also appeared.
To make things easier, Yan Xiluo had already replaced all the waiters in the venue with her own people.
Even the waitresses were completely replaced. To ensure everything went smoothly, all the staff at the Junlin Interstellar Hotel were replaced with skilled martial artists who could fight.
Full-time employees have been secretly given leave.
"Until the thief is caught, please continue to enjoy the food and wine here."
"I'm really sorry for the inconvenience this has caused everyone."
However, our hotel has surveillance cameras installed, so finding that person is very simple and won't take up too much of everyone's time.
Lai Suk-man also came up on stage from below the stage to express her apologies.
Su Li remained calm and composed. They had made ample preparations and were not afraid of them checking the surveillance footage.
Because Yi Luyun said she would find someone to destroy the videos inside.
He didn't believe they could always get the top hacker in the Chinese server on time!
They're not idle people.
As long as the top hacker in the Chinese server cannot be hired, then he will be completely safe.
"It's alright, as long as we can catch the person who stole the token. I just don't know when they stole it, or if they've already left?"
"That thief can't be that stupid, can he? He wouldn't really stay at the hotel, would he?"
"There's a saying, what's it again? The most dangerous place is the safest place. It's very likely they haven't left yet, so sealing off the hotel is the right thing to do."
"Who could it be? How did that person know about the token of the Yan family's leader?"
"Yeah, yeah, could it be someone close to the Yan family, someone they've been in close contact with? Don't stab me in the back!"
"No way, stabbing someone in the back is disgusting! The Yan family are all so kind, how could he do that!"
...
The audience couldn't help but murmur amongst themselves, beginning to criticize the thief.
People in the industry and those close to the Yan family know their character well.
They are kind and compassionate, and won't go too far with people unless things really get out of hand.
Everyone was worried about the Yan family.
Hearing such comments made Su Li very uncomfortable, and he tried his best to appear normal.
Ha, he gave his most beloved woman to the Yan family, so what if he wants something from the Yan family?
This is something the Yan family owes him! And even more so, something Yan Youting owes him!
He swirled the red wine in his glass, his changing expressions intriguing, but standing in the crowd, almost no one paid him any attention.
But it was precisely this expression that caught Yan Xiluo's eye, as she met Su Li's gaze at the same time.
Su Li looked away guiltily, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Just as he had dodged that gaze, he accidentally met Yi Luyun's eyes again.
Yi Luyun gave him a charming smile and licked her lips, seemingly trying to seduce him.
His expression quickly softened, and his earlier unease and discomfort vanished.
After about ten minutes, the staff brought the retrieved surveillance footage to the stage.
"The old man has retrieved the surveillance footage, and it clearly shows who stole the Yan family head's token."
Yan Zhiguo took the laptop. He had mixed feelings, after all, the Su family was his in-laws.
He was truly embarrassed to expose Su Li's true colors in public, but he couldn't tolerate it.
After all, Su Li had joined forces with Yi Luyun to take his granddaughter's life, so he would never allow anyone to harm his granddaughter again.
Even the Su family and the Yi family are no exception; he will protect his granddaughter even if it means a complete breakdown in their relationship.
Expose their conspiracy to their face.
"Let's project it onto the big screen and see if anyone recognizes the thief."
Yan Zhiguo gestured to his men to make the arrangements.
Su Li and Yi Luyun were pale and unsteady on their feet. They had actually been found out?
How is that possible! I just asked my subordinates, and they clearly damaged the surveillance cameras beforehand, not after recording them!
Even the top hacker in the Chinese server couldn't do this! Even if the King of Heaven himself came, there would be no way to monitor it!
Yi Luyun's heart pounded in fright. If Su Li was exposed and sent to prison by the Yan family because of this, what would be the point of her being alone?
In order to prevent Su Li from being exposed, she had to have Ghost and her people take action, and she absolutely could not let the surveillance footage be seen by the people inside the venue.
Su Li looked at Yi Luyun, signaling her not to make a move and to let her rest.
He didn't want her to seek revenge after he was exposed; he just wanted her to live.
But Yi Luyun refused, ignoring his gaze, and directly signaled Gui Mei and his men to take action.
Su Li panicked. If things escalated to that point and he still hadn't succeeded, everything would probably be exposed.
When Yi Luyun finds out the truth, she will definitely hate him to death, kill him, and never love him again...
Their daughter is so close; she doesn't need revenge...
It's all his fault for using her as a pawn back then. Now that he's fallen in love with her, he regrets everything.
If he had known he would fall in love with her, he shouldn't have used her as a pawn in his revenge.
Su Li really wanted to tell her something, but there wasn't enough time to type it on his phone.
He wanted him to live well with his daughter and let go of the hatred that didn't exist.
He finally typed out the message and sent it, only to find that it wouldn't go through; a signal jammer was on.
He tried to find Yi Luyun by pushing through the crowd, but at that moment, the people and ghosts in Yi Luyun's hands rushed onto the stage...
Suddenly, so many people rushed out, causing chaos among the audience. Everyone scattered to the side. It wasn't that they were afraid of dying; they genuinely didn't know any martial arts and couldn't help.
But someone has already called the police.
Yan Xiluo had already had her subordinates waiting at the door when she discovered that Yi Luyun had this motivation.
They would rush in at her command.
She instructed them to protect their family, and to leave the rest to her and Lan Jingyan.
