The day passed very quickly. Wang Xu and Mao Ye got off the plane at three o'clock in the afternoon. They were looking for a hotel and arranging their luggage. They were so busy non-stop that it soon became dark. Even though Ning Feng and Xing Wuyang drove them
, the two of them were still half dead from exhaustion.
They left William directly in the hotel to pay various bills. On the way, Xing Wuyang also asked them what happened to William. The two of them explained vaguely that they were just ordinary friends, so they told Xing Wuyang
They were fooled. But Ning Feng knew very well that what these two people were doing was either kidnapping or extortion, which was definitely not a good thing anyway...
At seven o'clock that night, the two finally arrived at the door of Ning's house. The mansion in front of them could only be described in one sentence: incomprehensible.
Because what caught their eyes was no longer a house, but an entire mountain.
"Is this all your home?" Wang Xu asked.
Ning Feng said matter-of-factly: "Yes, what's wrong?"
For someone like Wang Xu, who once aimed to be a homebody, it is hard to imagine why a family would live in such a big place. There are mountains and rivers, mansions, picturesque scenery and complete facilities. He said it was a resort.
I do believe it.
Master Mao seemed unconcerned. The Ning family was originally in the real estate business and had a strong foundation in Suzhou. The history of this wealthy family can be traced back hundreds of years. Considering that their family still has many relatives,
As well as housekeepers, servants, etc., there is nothing strange about such a formation.
Walking along the driveway, the two of them saw what it means to be wealthy. They were surrounded by classic European-style villas, and from time to time a pure Chinese-style classical building popped up, giving people a sense of confusion in time and space. And these mansions and
The combination of the beautiful surrounding mountains and rivers does not feel incongruous at all, but makes people feel that it has a unique flavor.
While Wang Xu and Mao Ye were imagining what kind of feast tonight's reception banquet would be, the head of the Ning family, Ning Feng's father Ning Tiande, had already set up the Hongmen Banquet and was waiting for their arrival.
As for what he planned to do during this meal, no one knew, but he had bad intentions anyway. Of course, he would not bother to do things like poisoning and laxatives. It should be just to take advantage of the opportunity to establish his power.
There is such a thing as Wang Xu and Mao Ye being ugly.
There is definitely a reason for doing this.
First of all, the Ning family has always played a decisive role in the ghost hunting world of Suzhou. There have been many talented people in the past dynasties. When colleagues meet people from the Ning family, they have to give some face. And the title of the city's top person in charge, "Qianfeng",
Usually, people from the Ning family are responsible for it. When it comes to this, the problem comes to the surface.
Who is Shui Yingyao? The mysterious Shui family has fallen into decline many years ago. Although the super genius Shui Yungu has emerged in recent years, the number of people is really small, and it seems difficult to make a comeback.
It's been a day, and Shui Yingyao was staying well in S City. After Fu Ding'an died, everyone thought she was going to take over the position of "Cat Master". Who would have expected that she would suddenly come to Suzhou and make a big show of herself? It happened to be
His predecessor, Qian Feng, died in the line of duty at this very moment. Shui Yingyao took over the position naturally by virtue of his rising strength and achievements. He even became the new King of Chu Jiang a few days ago.
This series of events has undoubtedly dimmed the halo around the Ning family, so who should be blamed for this? The answer is ready to come out - Mr. Cat.
Regarding the incident between Mao Ye and Shui Yingyao, there are several versions of rumors in the ghost hunting community. The most widely circulated version is the one that started with chaos and ended with abandonment. The majority of the people are still very concerned about the explanation of this relative gossip.
Enjoyable to hear and see.
The generally recognized official version of the rumor was still related to Fu Ding'an's incident. It seemed that Shui Yingyao left angrily because Mr. Mao did not do things justice enough.
Anyway, only those few people know the truth, and everyone else is just making wild guesses, but it is certain that the relationship between these two people is unclear.
In short, Master Mao must bear the main responsibility for Shui Yingyao coming to Suzhou to steal the Ning family's job.
There is another thing, that is, during the newcomer evaluation six years ago, Duan Fei, as the most outstanding ghost hunter among the younger generation of the Ning family, entered the competition with amazing strength that far exceeded his peers. As a result, he met a
The little-known Ripper Gu Chen failed miserably in the end, but instead achieved success for others.
All of this made Ning Tiande very dissatisfied with his colleague Mao Ye. As the head of the family, he had burdens on his shoulders, burdens on his mind, and pressure on his heart. It was necessary to vent his unhappy emotions appropriately.
Yes, so...Hongmen Banquet.
When Wang Xu and Mao Ye walked into the luxurious main house like a castle, they felt flattered by the magnificent scene in front of them. The champagne tree was placed in the middle of the hall, and there were already many Suzhou hunters.
Most of the Ghost World colleagues were present in formal attire, suits and ties. Ning Feng didn't seem to like such crowded occasions, perhaps because she knew what her father was planning, so she said goodbye quickly and left.
The job of introducing Wang Xu and Mao Ye was completed by Xing Wuyang. The two of them greeted Ning Tiande not very politely. This dignified and polite head of the family in his early fifties, in front of them,
It seems that the face is not big enough.
Ning Tiande never expected that these two people would be so arrogant. Although he was not highly respected, he was still very senior, but he was not taken seriously by them at all. It seemed that he would not be able to teach them a lesson today.
.
According to the plan, the first step was to write an article about the attire of these two people. In fact, Ning Tiande made the dinner so grand and specially asked the guests to wear formal clothes just to make Wang Xu and Mao Ye stand out.
.
The two people who came from the airport non-stop must not have time to change into formal clothes, so they will definitely be tricked. However, Ning Tiande ignored one thing. No matter what they do, they will be very conspicuous...
After saying hello, these two guys dressed very "casually" rushed to the table anxiously, using champagne as mouthwash and lobster as chewing gum.
In fact, they didn't mean to be disrespectful to the head of the family. They just wanted to eat as soon as they entered the house. In their hearts, they were very grateful to Lao Ning who treated the guests to free meals and drinks...
These two people just gobbled it up without caring about their image. It was difficult not to attract attention. Seeing them so unrestrained, the other ghost hunters felt that their behavior was too polite. In fact, everyone usually just fights and kills.
Yes, why are you pretending to be upper class?
Therefore, the issue of clothing was not a problem at all. Wang Xu and Mao Ye's unscrupulous behavior completely covered up such a small matter...
Ning Tiande's mouth twitched twice and decided to implement the second step of the plan...
The sound of a spoon hitting a wine glass attracted everyone's attention. Ning Tiande stood in the middle of the hall and said, "Everyone, thank you very much for coming to Humble House today..."
There are only a few polite words, but you still have to say it. Even if your home is more luxuriously decorated than the Queen of England's home, you still have to say that humble home...
While everyone was listening to these nonsense, the sound of Wang Xu and Mao Ye's clattering meal continued to be heard. Attentive friends could notice that the veins on Ning Tiande's head were trembling very powerfully...
Finally, his words got to the point: "Today's banquet is mainly to welcome two colleagues from S City. I believe everyone has heard of these two. It is Mr. Mao, the top person in charge of S City, and this year's
Guiguzi Wang Xu, the champion of newcomer evaluation.”
His words really didn't arouse much reaction... because these two people had already become the center of attention, and people who didn't know them would only know by talking to the people next to them.
"These two are both young and promising masters in the ghost hunting world. It can be said that their future is limitless. To achieve such achievements at such a young age really puts the Suzhou ghost hunting world to shame." He said these two people directly.
On the opposite side of the entire Suzhou ghost hunting community, he is quite sophisticated.
As he said this, Wang Xu screamed and rushed forward to strangle Mr. Cat's neck. His other hand tightly held Mr. Cat's wrist. On that wrist... he was holding a chicken leg covered in caviar...
…
"I've been trying for a long time, how could I let you succeed..." Wang Xu blushed so hard that he was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
"Because you are too naive...that's why you let me pick it up ready-made..." Mr. Cat was struggling to put the chicken drumstick into his mouth...
The two of them fell to the ground and changed positions...
"Old Ning is introducing you... Now is not the time to eat... Stop putting on airs... Go and say hello to everyone..."
"Why did I hear him introducing you... The new champion of the new subject evaluation... Now is not the time to compete with me... You should hurry up..."
What can I say about the atmosphere of the audience at this time... They must be really ashamed...
Breathing the air of this world with these two people is enough to make one feel ashamed...
