The time came at six o'clock on the second night, the sun gradually set from the mountains in the distance, and the sky was once again covered with an ink-like curtain.
Location: On the Second Ring Road in the center of Shenyang City, in a luxury hotel next to the headquarters of Kangtao Company, on the 88th floor of the top floor, a grand dinner was held here.
Bright orange lights filled the huge banquet hall, and the melodious sound of piano echoed in the room. Snow-white cloth was spread on the long table, and carefully cooked food kept appearing and disappearing on the table like running water.
..
This is because, except for some special cold foods, every delicacy on the table is maintained at the most suitable temperature. Once the best opportunity to eat is missed, the waiters will hold up another exquisite dish to replace these "inappropriate foods".
Replace "qualified" food to ensure that the food that goes into each guest's mouth is kept at its most delicious and at the most suitable temperature.
The guests all raised their wine glasses with smiles on their faces, and their faces were filled with the joy of "I am honored to be here today."
Everyone is polite and has elegant etiquette. They gather in groups and talk about interesting things. Their words are brisk and peaceful. No matter how hungry they are, they only taste the food on the table.
This was a banquet before the press conference. The guests all put on masks called politeness and came here to perform the most common social work.
The adults all have their own jobs, but the children who come here for various reasons don't have to worry too much about their parents' jobs.
The other corner of the banquet hall is thoughtfully divided into a banquet area for the guests' families.
All kinds of alcohol are no longer provided here. Most of the drinks on the table are juices and drinks, mainly to take into account those minors who are not allowed to drink.
Although it is not an area for official guests, the dishes on the table are still the same as those in the "Adult Hall".
As a minor, Lin Mo was naturally honored to "sit at the same table" with the children since he could not drink in such formal occasions.
At this time, he was sitting in the rest area of the banquet hall, holding a glass of juice in his hand and sucking slowly with a straw in his mouth. The sweet, freshly squeezed juice flowed from the tip of his tongue to his throat.
As for why he didn't eat, it was naturally because he had already finished eating.
Putting the wine glass on the shelf of the chair, Lin Mo looked past the half-grown children who were playing and playing with each other in front, and calmly stared at the adult area not far away, observing the situation.
And his aura is so cold that he looks like an agent with a difficult mission. His appearance is very inconsistent, and he appears in the "underage area" waiting for the best opportunity.
In fact, given his age and appearance, there would be no problem even if he appeared in the adult area in troubled waters, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still stayed in the minors area.
Besides...it's not like he doesn't have a companion.
Seeing that there was nothing strange on the other side of the banquet hall, Lin Mo looked towards the food buffet area calmly.
In addition to the children who are not familiar with the world, there are also some adult family members of the guests here. Most of them are their husbands and wives, who are responsible for taking care of their children here. They do not need to perform social etiquette between drinking and drinking like those official guests.
of red tape.
Now, Xu Wanxue is staying in another area, talking politely with people from all walks of life.
As a minor, he naturally needs a guardian...
So in the children's area, the lady with burgundy hair was also wandering around the food buffet area "shamelessly", enjoying the rare food with a relaxed look on her face.
How could it become like this... Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh.
However, as soon as he looked at Liu Ruoying, the guy immediately scanned the surroundings as keenly as a cat being stared at by prey, and soon realized that Lin Mo, who was sitting in the rest area, was looking at her.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and then she hesitated for a while, holding a plate in her hand, she picked out the food in the self-service area, filled the plate, and walked towards where Lin Mo was sitting.
"You were full just now, why do you still want to eat something now?" Liu Ruoying took the plate and placed it on the small table next to the chair.
"No, you misunderstood, I'm not hungry yet." Lin Mo took a look at the food on the plate, shook his head and refused.
Liu Ruoying raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "Then what did you see me doing just now? Don't you want me to bring you some food?"
Lin Mo sighed and said with a strange expression: "I was just thinking that I would be famous all my life, but I didn't expect that when I walked into a banquet today, there would be a guardian accompanying me..."
"That's because the banquet admission rules are like this. Guests can only bring one adult or one minor at most. You and your sister are here, so you can't let me stay at home and wait for you to pack.
Liu Ruoying said matter-of-factly.
Seeing that Lin Mo didn't want to eat, she relaxed her appetite and ate the delicious food she brought in with the tableware in her hands.
Halfway through eating, she suddenly snickered for no reason:
"By the way, are you worried that this situation is shameful... You think you are an adult, but when you come to such a banquet, you actually have to stay with these children..."
"I'm not in the mood you said at all, no!" Lin Mo said seriously: "Besides, sitting here is not much different from what I expected."
Liu Ruoying curled her lips and said helplessly:
"I don't know what tricks you two siblings are up to. You are planning everything behind your back and you are still hiding it from me. Now that you are here, I have become a cover-up tool as you arranged.
,Aren’t you going to tell me the truth?”
When she was in Night City in the past, she had heard more or less about some of Lin Mo's deeds. Although she didn't know as much as Xu Wanxue, she could still tell that Lin Mo was by no means an "easy person."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Limited by the limitations of her own intelligence network, and Xu Wanxue deliberately hiding it from her, now she can only guess that Lin Mo might have really done something in Night City
Fame...
Sometimes she would even guess that Mr. Mo Ying, who is famous in the world of mercenaries, could be Lin Mo himself?
After all, he lost contact for a while, and it took several days before he contacted Xu Wanxue and reported that he was safe. On the contrary, she was worried and scared for several days... and the period when he disappeared happened to be the nuclear
The night the explosion occurred...
However, none of this has been confirmed by Xu Wanxue or himself, and Liu Ruoying dare not draw any conclusions.
I don’t know what trouble this guy will cause at tonight’s press conference...
But before setting off, he also swore that there would be only advantages and no disadvantages to this matter...so there shouldn't be any big problems, right?
"Don't worry, you will know the relevant facts when the time comes. The most important thing now is that you help me cover up." Lin Mo said casually.
The accidents that may happen tonight are now clearly shown in the simulated deeds. The male star with the hidden identity of "Werewolf" has also been exposed. Now we only need to arrest him in advance, and there will be no "assassination" in the future.
"event.
It was this arrest operation... how to hide the identity became the primary issue.
At first, Lin Mo wanted to put on a mask and act, transform into the mysterious weirdo who was wearing "Doraemon" that day, arrest the male star directly, and then just "let the matter go and hide in the dust, hiding his merit and fame"
”.
But then I thought about it, even if he deliberately concealed his identity, there is no guarantee that the CEO would want to investigate the identities of all the guests at the banquet...
In case this girl has a big imagination, she thought from "the mysterious weirdo is very fast" to "the weirdo must have high-speed components", then to "Xu Wanxue is the project leader of Qiandai 5", and finally to
"Could the speed component on the weirdo's body be leaked by my own company?"... thus putting the target of suspicion on him...
On the contrary, this creates more exposure risks.
Considering this factor, Lin Mo also adjusted his action plan.
And Liu Ruoying was also pulled over by him to act as a tool, properly covering his identity.
I just don’t know whether this plan is appropriate or not. After all, I haven’t previewed it with a simulator in advance...
...
Just as he was thinking about his plans for tonight, there was a sudden noise from the other side of the banquet hall.
Lin Mo looked up and saw that tonight's protagonist had finally arrived.
A male celebrity named Li Heng, Kangtao Company CEO Xu Wanmeng, and other Kangtao executives all appeared at the banquet together.
