The next night, the City Lord's Mansion held a dinner to announce the shortlist for the ore search! The Qiao family dressed up neatly, put on their best clothes, and set off early! Lin Xiaodong came to find Qiao Shan and invited her to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
Attending a dinner party! “What are we going to do?
If you go there, you will only be laughed at!"
Qiao Shan [New ] doesn’t want to go.
Lin Xiaodong advised: "Shanshan, believe me, this time we are here to watch a joke, not to make others laugh!"
"Whose joke are you looking at?"
Qiao Shan asked.
"Of course it's Qiao Zhen's family. I have already made arrangements and will definitely help you vent your anger!"
Lin Xiaodong pulled Qiao Shan with confidence.
Qiao Shan immediately became interested and agreed to go together.
Qiao Zhen's family came to the gate of the city lord's palace in fear, fearing that they would be stopped because they didn't even have an invitation in their hands! Unexpectedly, the guards let their family in.
Qiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed, thinking that Butler Li must have helped him deliver the Saint Crystal to the special envoy! Lin Xiaodong and Qiao Shan soon arrived at the banquet.
"How did you two get in?"
As a result, they bumped into Qiao Zhen's family, and Qiao Zhen asked with a straight face.
"How we got in seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"
Lin Xiaodong sneered.
"Young man, do you really think of yourself as a person?
Do you think you can sneak in and become rich?"
Qiao Sheng curled his lips and said with a sarcastic sneer.
"Forget it, head of the family, they just sneaked in to eat and drink, we can just pretend we don't know them!"
A member of the Qiao family advised.
"You two, listen to me, eat your food honestly, and don't cause trouble for me.
If you dare to disgrace our Qiao family, I will never let you go!"
Qiao Zhen threatened fiercely.
"Tonight is very important to our Qiao family. If you dare to cause trouble, I will break your legs!"
Qiao Sheng showed off his power and threatened with eyes.
"Just don't embarrass yourself!"
Lin Xiaodong agreed and left with Qiao Shan.
"Son, leave them alone.
Let me tell you honestly, did you get the quota?"
Qiao Zhen was a little worried about Qiao Sheng and asked seriously.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything, and our Qiao family will definitely be among the quota!"
Qiao Sheng patted his chest and said confidently.
"That's good, our Qiao family can't afford to lose!"
Qiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and took his son everywhere to get acquainted with him.
As a result, no one paid attention to the father and son.
There was nothing I could do. Qiao Sheng, an idiot, showed off his power in front of the city lord's palace yesterday and offended almost all the families in the city! Qiao Zhen looked depressed and didn't understand why he was not welcomed.
Not long after the banquet started, Special Envoy Shi appeared under the leadership of the city lord.
A group of people quickly gathered around and flattered Special Envoy Shi.
Shi Fu said a few polite words and then walked up to the high platform.
"Everyone, be quiet. I will now announce the shortlist!"
In a businesslike manner, Shi Fu reported the list.
During this process, the Qiao family was extremely distressed because they never heard their list! When Shi Fu finished reading the last list and rolled up the roster, the Qiao family were all dumbfounded.
"Qiao Sheng, didn't you say there must be a place for our Qiao family?"
Qiao Zhen was so angry that his whole body was shaking, he stared at Qiao Sheng and gritted his teeth.
Qiao Sheng was so panicked that he broke into cold sweat and said quickly: "I'll go ask, maybe I missed it!"
Qiao Sheng wiped his sweat and forced his way to the front.
"Special envoy, I am Qiao Sheng. I gave you a Saint Crystal yesterday. Why is there no place for our Qiao family?"
Qiao Sheng was really worried about his emotional intelligence. He directly questioned Shi Fu in front of so many people.
Shi Fula had an elder face and said in a cold voice: "I was just trying to find your Qiao family to question me!"
"Everyone in the Qiao family, come up here!"
Shi Fu yelled, which frightened Qiao Zhen and a group of Qiao family members, and they came to the front in panic.
"Tell me the truth, where did your Saint Crystal come from?
I have investigated and found out that this Saint Crystal is clearly not your Qiao family's property, so why is it in your hands?
According to my investigation, this Saint Quartz belongs to a big shot, did we steal it from that big shot?"
Shi Fu asked with a dark face.
The whole place was in an uproar. No one expected that the Qiao family would do such a thing.
"I have already said that the Qiao family is not a good person. They must have committed something serious when they were kicked out by the lord of Beijing City!"
"That is, the city lord should not have taken them in in the first place."
"A group of thieves, disgusting, such a family is really not impressive at all!"
The guests didn't care that there were so many, they just opened their mouths and started laughing.
The Qiao family was scared to death. If they were accused of stealing, the Qiao family would be ruined.
"Sir, you are wronged! We really did not steal the Saint Crystal. Please find out clearly!"
"Sir Special Envoy, this Saint Crystal was not actually harvested by our Qiao family. It was given to our Qiao family by Lin Xiaodong."
"Yes, yes, Lin Xiaodong is at the scene, find him quickly."
The Qiao family suddenly remembered that they had just met Lin Xiaodong. As long as Lin Xiaodong was confessed, the Qiao family would be fine.
Qiao Zhen immediately asked his tribe to find Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong and Qiao Shan sat in a corner, watching everything that happened.
Qiao Shan said worriedly: "Brother Lin, let's run.
They're coming for us."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, everything can be solved!"
Lin Xiaodong grabbed Qiao Shan and was confident.
"But, you said that the Saint Quartz was picked up from the road. You can't deceive the special envoy with this horror!"
Qiao Shan said in panic.
"That piece of Saint Crystal is mine in the first place, is there any need to lie to others?"
Lin Xiaodong shrugged and said disapprovingly.
"They are there, catch them quickly!"
The Qiao family quickly found Lin Xiaodong and Qiao Shan and surrounded them together.
"You don't need to take action, we will just go with you!"
Lin Xiaodong pulled Qiao Shan up and walked towards the high platform.
"Special envoy, it's the two of them. This man's name is Lin Xiaodong, and he stole the Saint Crystal.
After stealing it, he gave the Saint Quartz to Qiao Shan beside him.
The Qiao family is a servant of our Qiao family. In order to please our master's family, this woman contributed the Saint Crystal.
Our family never thought that the Saint Quartz was stolen and deceived by the two of them!"
Qiao Zhen pointed at Lin Xiaodong and Qiao Shan and put the blame on them.
"Special envoy, you must make the decision for our Qiao family and punish these two thieves!"
Qiao Sheng could not wait to pounce on Shi Fu to plead for mercy! Qiao Shan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she did not dare to express her anger.
Lin Xiaodong was very calm and kept smiling, as if everything had nothing to do with him! The Qiao family members shouted together and accused Lin Xiaodong of being a thief!
