C209 It Is Difficult to Guard Against Thieves

If it wasn't because of Ding Yi, Han Zongkun wouldn't be this polite to Han Chengshan and Lin Hongyan. However, Ding Yi was in the limelight right now, Han Zongkun also valued Ding Yi's connections, so he didn't want to offend Ding Yi.

"The betrothal gift, it's gone!" Lin Hongyan panted as she held onto the door frame, pointing at the inside of the ancestral home as she spoke anxiously.

"Nonsense, how can I not see him?!" Hearing Lin Hongyan's words, Han Zongkun's expression changed. He shouted in a low voice, "This betrothal gift has always been under Wu'er's care. How could it not be seen!"

"Could it be that someone dares to steal something from my Han Family Ancestral Mansion?!" Han Zongkun looked a little embarrassed. Wasn't it equivalent to slapping his face when Lin Hongyan said such words in front of so many people?

Looking at his father's expression, Han Chengshan's heart skipped a beat. However, he was also very anxious. That was the betrothal gift Ding Yi gave him. Therefore, he had to bite the bullet and said, "Father, it's not gone. It's missing a few!"

"Every single gold grade item is stored in a brocade box. But when I went to look with Hongyan just now, I found that some of the brocade boxes were empty!" Han Chengshan clenched his teeth and said.

If he did not say it now, when all the guests had left, he might just leave it at that. With his father's biased character, this kind of situation would not be hard to find.

Han Chengshan also had his own way of thinking. He wanted to say it out in front of everyone and force his father to investigate this matter and give him an explanation!

Hearing Han Chengshan's words, Ding Yi couldn't help but frown. The embroidered box was empty? Was it someone who stole it, or was it the people from the gold shop!

"How is that possible? I checked them one by one when I sent them over." Han Zongkun's face was full of shock as he subconsciously blurted out.

In the next moment, he realised that he had said the wrong thing. This didn't mean that he was telling everyone that there was originally something inside the embroidered box, but that it was left in my Han Family Ancestral Mansion for a few days and then it was gone.

"Tsk tsk, there is still someone who dares to steal things from the Han Family Ancestral Mansion?"

"Didn't Old Master Han say that you would always give it to Fifth Elder, who is in charge of the Han Family? "Could it be..."

"Shh, you're crazy! Han Chengwu cultivates martial arts. Be careful not to cripple you!" When the time comes, you won't even have a place to cry! "

As expected, as Han Zongkun's words left his mouth, the guests started to discuss in whispers.

"Wu'er, what is going on?" Hearing the discussion of the guests, Han Zongkun's face turned green and he shouted in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you to look after them properly? What exactly happened to you?! "

"How could he have lost the item!" After saying that, Han Zongkun looked at Ding Yi and suddenly rejoiced in his heart.

Fortunately, the betrothal gift was given by Ding Yi, after all, they were family, and if it was given by a certain young master and he lost it due to Han Family, it would be troublesome.

Han Chengwu walked over with a sullen face, cupped his fist and bowed towards Han Zongkun as he said in a low voice, "Father, it's impossible for a thief to steal from under my nose!"

"Then what do you mean?" Hearing Han Chengwu's words, Han Zongkun frowned and asked.

"This... "Maybe..." At this point, Han Chengwu did not continue and glanced at his other three brothers.

Sensing Han Chengwu's gaze, Han Zongkun's face sank, and immediately understood Han Chengwu's intentions. Considering Han Family's reputation, Han Zongkun was about to suppress the matter and discuss it later when Liu Tie suddenly spoke.

Ding Yi walked up to Han Chengwu and looked at everyone with a dark expression. He said lightly, "Fifth Uncle's strength is unfathomable, it's impossible for a thief to steal from you. And it's only been a few days, I don't think it's done by an outsider thief."

"What?!" Han Chengshan's expression changed and he subconsciously asked, "If it's not a foreign thief, then who did it?"

As soon as Han Chengshan's words came out, some of the guests below immediately realized that something was wrong. The white-bearded old man sneered and shouted at Ding Yi, "Brat, what do you mean by this? Do you think it's done by the guests who came to congratulate us?!"

"Ding Yi, don't talk nonsense!" Han Han had always disliked Ding Yi, but just now, Ding Yi was in the limelight. Now, he finally found a chance and sneered, "Don't speak nonsense, so many guests are right under our noses!"

"You have to take responsibility for speaking nonsense!" At this point, Han Han sneered.

Aren't you pulling? I want to see how you are going to step down this time! Thinking about this, Han Han could not help but feel pleased in his heart. No matter how famous you are, you are still a fool!

"I've already said it before, no one can steal from under fifth uncle's nose." Facing Han Han's attack, Ding Yi merely smiled and shook his head. He said lightly, "With your strength, it is naturally impossible to do it, so it has nothing to do with you."

"Kid, what do you mean by this?" A middle-aged man who was sitting beside the white-bearded old man suddenly stood up and asked Ding Yi with an unfriendly expression.

He was the bodyguard of the white-bearded old man. Although Ding Yi's words were not aimed at anyone, they included everyone who was there. Didn't that mean that among everyone there, no one was a match for Han Chengwu?2

"Nothing." However, Ding Yi did not fight to the death with the middle-aged man. Instead, he just smiled, looked at Han Zongkun and said, "Foreign bandits are hard to enter, but the family bandits are hard to guard against!"

"Thieves are hard to guard against, what you mean is, someone from our Han Family stole the betrothal gift?!" Han Zongkun's expression changed and he snorted coldly.

In fact, he was more clear than anyone else that letting go of such a place in the ancestral residence was definitely done by his sons. However, if he were to find out that it was the doing of a thief from the clan, then Han Family would be completely lost.

"Grandfather, that's not right, right?" Ding Yi was neither humble nor arrogant, he cupped his fists and said to Han Zongkun: "I am also from Han Family, so I naturally do not want to see this kind of thing happen. However, there are no rules and no boundaries, I hope grandfather can give all of us from Han Family an explanation!"

"You!" Hearing Ding Yi's words, Han Zongkun's face turned green, but he was unable to refute Ding Yi.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and said to Han Chengwu, "Wu'er, you have three days to find out who did this!"

"Yes sir!" Han Chengwu quickly cupped his fist and bowed his head in acknowledgement.

"I don't agree!" However, after hearing Han Zongkun's words, Ding Yi didn't agree.

He put his hands behind his back and scanned the crowd. First, he looked at Han Zhou'er, then he looked at Han Han and said indifferently, "In three days, if the thief returns to its original owner, grandpa, are you planning to close your eyes?"

"What else do you want?!" Han Zongkun poked the ground fiercely with the cane.
