Peerless Cupid System

The man in the tie was extremely dedicated. He carried a voice recorder and a notebook, running around observing and stopping various servants to ask questions.

"Let's go ask the people in the villa and see if we can find anything!" Shen Qiaoyan said anxiously.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it first." Ling Ziqian closed his eyes and rested his hand on the car window as he pondered.

Seeing Ling Ziqian deep in thought, Xu Ya smiled and gestured for Shen Qiaoyan to be quiet.

With his eyes closed, Ling Ziqian spoke to Huan Yue, "What do you think?"

"Don't even think about cheating!" Huan Yue smiled.

"It wasn't cheating, it was a discussion. By the way, those personal seals were probably taken by kids to play with."

"I didn't see any children in the villa!"

"Perhaps the old man put the seal somewhere else, but he forgot about it."

"If that were the case, the man in the tie would have found out long ago. He'd be digging up the whole villa right now!"

Ling Ziqian quieted down and remained silent.

Huan Yue laughed, "Don't you have a guess in your heart? Why don't you say it?"

"You're worrying about the wrong thing."

How can you know you're wrong if you don't speak out?

Ling Ziqian remained silent.

Huan Yue encouraged him, "Being wrong is just embarrassing. You're still young, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone will forgive you if you guess wrong."

Even so, it would still be embarrassing to make a mistake.

How to do it?

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Ziqian opened his eyes.

"Did you think of something?" Shen Qiaoyan and Xu Ya looked at Ling Ziqian expectantly.

"I've thought of something." Ling Ziqian nodded.

"What? Do you know where the private seal is?" Shen Qiaoyan asked excitedly.

"I don't know," Ling Ziqian said with a smile, shaking his head.

Immediately, Shen Qiaoyan's expression darkened.

Xu Ya smiled at Ling Ziqian, "What are you thinking about?"

Ling Ziqian blushed slightly and scratched his head awkwardly. "Well, let's go to the old gentleman's place."

"Why go there? Didn't you say you couldn't find the personal seal?" Shen Qiaoyan asked, puzzled.

“I have a guess. I’ll go ask that old gentleman whether I guessed right or wrong,” Ling Ziqian replied.

Xu Ya was the first to support Ling Ziqian. She opened the car door, smiled at Ling Ziqian, and said, "Let's go!"

Ling Ziqian nodded, opened the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the lawn in the distance.

Shen Qiaoyan quickly followed, nervously taking Ling Ziqian's arm.

Chapter 175 Clapping hands, he was applauding!

Upon seeing Ling Ziqian and his two companions approaching, the group of people on the lawn immediately became restless.

The fire-man's eyes were filled with surprise. He believed that Ling Ziqian had found the private seal.

The others whispered that since Ling Ziqian and his two companions spent most of their time in the car, how could they possibly find the official seal?

The square-faced young man looked at the man in the tie with great dissatisfaction.

The man in the tie was talking to a maid who was watering the flowers, asking her all sorts of questions.

However, seeing Ling Ziqian and the other two walking towards the lawn, he froze, realizing something was wrong—someone had beaten him to it. He quickly ran over to check on them. (Zhen Lai Youcai)

The crowd on the grass quieted down.

Shen Qiaoyan and Xu Ya, led by Ling Ziqian, followed behind him.

This action put even more pressure on Ling Ziqian, a homebody!

The lawn was filled with business tycoons, while he was just a shut-in. Compared to them, he was nothing!

However, they all acted very friendly, smiling as they watched me approach.

Ling Ziqian took a deep breath, but his legs still felt weak and his heart was racing.

After a while, he walked into the crowd, and everyone made way for Ling Ziqian to talk to the old man sitting in the chair.

The old man had a kind face; ignoring the luxurious villa next to him, he was definitely a kind and approachable grandfather.

"Are you from Tianhuo Group? What's your name?" The old man smiled at Ling Ziqian.

"I'm not from the company, I'm Huo Nan's friend, my name is Ling Ziqian." At this moment, he shouldn't be so honest. He said he wasn't from the company, but Ling Ziqian sensed an inexplicable aura emanating from the old man, which made him nervous, and he subconsciously blurted out the truth.

"My friend, Ling Ziqian, that's a nice name." The old man smiled and nodded. The people around him were quiet. He looked at Ling Ziqian and asked, "You've come here because you've found the official seal?"

Everyone turned to look at Ling Ziqian, eager to see him produce his personal seal. The man in the tie, in particular, stared wide-eyed.

Ling Ziqian scratched his head sheepishly, "Sir, actually I couldn't find the personal seal."

Immediately, everyone was speechless and started complaining, asking what Ling Ziqian was doing here if he couldn't find the personal seal.

Ling Ziqian was even more embarrassed, while the man in the tie rolled his eyes and wanted to leave to continue gathering information.

The old man waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and smiled at Ling Ziqian, wanting to know why he had come.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Ziqian spoke nervously. "Sir, I don't think the personal seal is lost. Perhaps you put it somewhere, maybe even in your pocket."

These words sparked another round of discussion.

The square-faced young man was very displeased. He glared at Ling Ziqian and said, "Are you saying that my grandfather is just playing around with everyone out of boredom? Or do you want to search my grandfather's body?"

Ling Ziqian was extremely embarrassed, and Huo Nan also cast a questioning look at him.

Shen Qiaoyan and Xu Ya stood close together. She was nervous for Ling Ziqian, but there was nothing she could do to help.

The old man waved his hand again, frowned slightly, and looked at Ling Ziqian. "Why do you think the official seal is in my pocket?"

Seeing the old man frown, Ling Ziqian felt a sense of unease.

Could we have guessed wrong?

Even if you've made a mistake, there's no turning back!

Taking another deep breath, Ling Ziqian continued, "I think the disappearance of the personal seal was a joke played by the old gentleman, or more accurately, a small test."

After speaking, Ling Ziqian looked at the fire man and then at the square-faced youth.

The fiery man and the square-faced youth exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding why Ling Ziqian had said that.

"Why do you think that?" the old man asked Ling Ziqian.

“Because…” Ling Ziqian scratched his head, “Where should I begin? Let’s start with the theft of the personal seal.”

Everyone quieted down and watched to see what Ling Ziqian would say.

The man in the tie was somewhat disdainful, but he didn't leave, wanting to hear what Ling Ziqian had to say.

“First, let’s assume the personal seal was stolen.” Ling Ziqian explained the situation. “Before Fire Man came here, he was kidnapped.”

Everyone nodded, showing no surprise; everyone already knew about it.

"The contract you signed this time is a win-win cooperation, but there is a company that doesn't want you to cooperate. They are extremely crazy and tried to prevent you from signing the contract, so they committed acts of violence and kidnapping. Given this premise, we all believe that the company seal was stolen by them."

“But how could they know that the old man would terminate the contract signing just because he didn’t have his personal seal?” Ling Ziqian asked rhetorically, looking at Xu Ya. “Sister Xu Ya works in Tianhai City, but she has never heard of such a thing.”

Xu Ya nodded.

Ling Ziqian smiled and said, "That means the old gentleman doesn't have that habit."

The man in the tie standing in the crowd couldn't help but speak up, "You shouldn't question this. Everyone knows that the old gentleman always uses his personal seal when signing contracts."

Ling Ziqian smiled and retorted, "You always use your personal seal, but does that mean that if the old gentleman loses his personal seal, he won't sign contracts?"

This question left the man in the tie speechless. Whether there was a private seal or not, whether or not a contract was signed, depended entirely on the old man's mood. He didn't have this habit because such a thing had never happened before!

But he was unwilling to accept defeat to Ling Ziqian, a high school student!

He retorted angrily, "That's just your speculation. How do you explain the suspicious person who appeared the night before last? Everyone in the villa saw that suspicious person!"

Ling Ziqian laughed, "Thank you for the information. Everyone in the villa knows about this!"

The man in the tie looked at Ling Ziqian with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he had said that.

Ling Ziqian looked at the square-faced youth and asked, "Are you aware of this?"

The square-faced young man shook his head with a stern expression. "I haven't been home these past few days, so I don't know."

Ling Ziqian nodded and smiled at the man in the tie. "The day before yesterday, at night, a suspicious person appeared outside the villa. I don't understand how everyone inside the villa could have seen the suspicious person at that time. If the person was there to do something bad, it would be terrible to be seen by so many people, wouldn't it?"

The man in the tie's face twitched. "What everyone saw is just a general statement. The suspicious person was discovered by the people in the villa, so they tampered with the system, cutting off the power to the villa and causing the surveillance video to be lost."

Ling Ziqian scratched his head. "I found it strange when you asked me questions in the study earlier. How did the maid who cleans the study know about the missing surveillance video?"

Ling Ziqian looked at the square-faced young man and said, "Your family's security measures are really terrible."

The square-faced young man said with a dark expression, "The bodyguards usually only know about the surveillance video. They would never leak the video data if it were lost!"

Upon hearing this, the man in the tie turned green with rage.

Ling Ziqian looked at the old man and said, "Sir, I was wondering if someone from that company had bribed a servant to steal the seal, but the problem comes back to your habits regarding the use of the seal, so that guess is not valid."

"Could it be that you forgot your personal seal somewhere, or that the child took it? I thought about it carefully, and although I have no evidence to prove it, I think it's impossible, because something else caught my attention."

The old man smiled at Ling Ziqian and said, "Go on."

Ling Ziqian scratched his head sheepishly and looked at the fire-faced man and the square-faced youth again. "You two have compared them, right? I observed you in the car just now and noticed that your eyes fell on your grandson many times, which means you have high hopes for him."

This remark startled the square-faced young man.

The old man smiled but remained silent.

Ling Ziqian continued, "Sister Xu Ya told me that when you were signing the contract, you compared Huo Nan and your grandson, which made your grandson a little unhappy. I think you noticed his unhappiness, so you used a little trick to compare them and see who was stronger."

The crowd fell silent; no one spoke.
