"Thank you for looking at me like this. In fact, I know how chaotic this circle is. I'm already considering whether to leave this circle and become an ordinary person again." Lu Ruxue said quietly.
"I know you, you are definitely not that kind of person. Okay, I will protect you in Shengjing City from now on." Chen Yu smiled slightly.
"But Liu Jingye is not an ordinary person. There is mysterious power behind the Liu family." Lu Ruxue expressed her worries.
"This is not a big problem." Chen Yu said calmly: "If he dares to take any revenge, I will let him die without a burial place."
"By the way, there is a banquet tonight, and Si Chen may be there. Do you want to go see her and check on her condition? I think her current condition is very dangerous." Lu Ruxue seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Okay, I'll go meet her tonight." Chen Yu nodded and said, "Why do you have to meet her at the banquet?"
"Her mother doesn't allow her to go out alone. She is only allowed to go out when attending high-end banquets like this." Lu Ruxue said helplessly.
In the evening, Chen Yu arrived at the sunken club of a five-star hotel.
This banquet was prepared for the birthday of a young man in the industry, and it was a private party.
But for people at this level, birthdays are not actually celebrated for birthdays, but to gather more connections.
Moreover, the young master's father also plays an important role in Shengjing's officialdom, so the birthday party was quite lively.
"Brother Chen, why are you here too?" Chen Yu didn't know anyone at first, so he was waiting for Yu Sichen to come and chat with her, but as soon as he arrived and sat down quietly, a surprised voice came over.
When I looked back, it was Jiang Wei. He was dressed very formally today, and it was obvious that he was very serious.
"I'm here to meet a friend, and you're here too?" Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Yes, today's protagonist is my friend. His name is Zhang Peng. He is a second-generation official. His grandfather has just retired from the ministerial level. His father is now in charge of education, and he is the top and second-in-command." Jiang Weidao: "And
He is a nice person, let me introduce him to you."
Originally, Chen Yu wanted to leave after meeting Yu Sichen, but after all, this was at someone else's venue. With Jiang Wei's introduction, it didn't matter if he met the owner. After all, the person who could let Jiang Wei introduce him so seriously must not be an ordinary person.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, thank you for coming." At this moment, a young man came over with a red wine glass in his hand. He was Zhang Peng, the host of today's banquet.
Although Zhang Peng is young, his face shows his sophistication in dealing with people, and he has a gentle manner. It can be seen that he has a good tutor.
"Brother Peng, I was looking for you. Come, let me introduce to you my friend, Chen Yu. He is an expert. He solved the problems at my construction site for me." Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Brother Chen, this is it."
Zhang Peng, we now have some business cooperation."
"How are you?" Chen Yu nodded towards Zhang Peng.
"Hello, I heard Jiang Wei mentioned you and said you were an expert." Zhang Peng stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Yu. He looked at Chen Yu carefully.
Jiang Wei had praised Chen Yu too much before, so Zhang Peng was curious about Chen Yu, but unfortunately, he couldn't tell anything from Chen Yu's appearance.
"Excellent. I can't be considered a master. It's just some small tricks." Chen Yu looked at Zhang Peng with a thoughtful expression, and then smiled and said: "Young Master Zhang has not been sleeping well in the past few days.
Bar."
"What should I say?" Zhang Peng originally planned to entertain other guests, but Chen Yu's words attracted him back.
"I dream as soon as I lie down, and I feel groggy and dizzy during the day. I fall asleep as soon as I touch the pillow when I get home." Chen Yu said, "Loss of appetite and always feeling sleepy and tired?"
"Yes, that's the case, how do you know?" Zhang Peng was surprised. His mental state these days was extremely poor, which was similar to what Chen Yu said. He was thinking about going to the doctor after his birthday, but
I didn't expect that Chen Yu would see it.
"Then have you collected any antiques in the past few days?" Chen Yu asked. His eyes followed Zhang Peng's face and saw a trace of white air slowly forming on Zhang Peng's forehead. This
The white energy slowly condensed into a woman's face. This face was extremely pale and followed Zhang Peng like a shadow.
"This...it does exist." Zhang Peng thought: "I prefer antiques, and last Friday I collected a painting from the Qing Dynasty."
"Is the content in the painting a woman?" Chen Yu asked again.
"You, how did you know? Could it be..." Zhang Peng's face changed instantly. He didn't understand why Chen Yu knew so much.
He knew that Chen Yu understood some things that ordinary people could not understand. Now he was a little panicked. Did he encounter something dirty?
"Let's burn the painting back. Also, keep this amulet with you. It's not a big problem. Don't be afraid." Chen Yu took out a tips bag and handed it to Zhang Peng.
"Is there really something wrong with that painting?" Zhang Peng pulled on the bodyguard and suddenly let out a slight sigh.
Originally, he had been feeling dizzy these past few days, and he didn't even know why there was always cold air around him. But after taking Chen Yu's amulet, he felt the cold air around him recede, and his spirit was shaken.
"I feel much better. This amulet is really useful." Zhang Peng quickly and carefully put away the amulet: "Thank you, Brother Chen, is there really something wrong with my painting?"
"There is indeed a problem. This painting should be unearthed and belongs to the underworld. I don't recommend you touch this kind of thing, because since it is an underworld object, there will definitely be some bad things attached to it. But the problem is not serious. You
Just pay attention in the future." Chen Yu said.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Chen. I'll talk to you alone after today's work." Zhang Peng said gratefully to Chen Yu.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, go ahead and get busy. I am also meeting someone in your place today." Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Okay, Mr. Wei, entertain Brother Chen well for me." Zhang Peng patted Jiang Wei.
"Brother Chen, who are you here to see today?" Jiang Wei asked curiously after Zhang Peng left.
"A friend is a former patient." Chen Yu smiled and said, "It's not easy for her to go out, but I heard that she would be here today, so I ran over to see her."
"Well, the person who can make Brother Chen so attracted must be a beauty." Jiang Wei chuckled.
At this moment, a figure appeared in Chen Yu's sight. She was wearing a white dress and no makeup. She walked gracefully like a fairy in a painting.
She was Yu Sichen. She approached slowly, with a hint of melancholy on her breathtakingly beautiful face. She looked around blankly, a little confused.
But when Chen Yu saw clearly what she was now, Chen Yu felt a pain in his heart, because Yu Sichen's eyes were a little hollow, and her pupils didn't have the sparkle they had in the past.
"Si Chen, today is Master Peng's birthday party. You know the strength of the Zhang family in Shengjing. The people here are not bad. You must perform well and try to find someone with a good family background." Yu
The middle-aged woman next to Si Chen dressed like a noble lady was none other than her mother, Wang Ling.
