After meeting in the Middle East during the Chinese New Year, Xiao Zichen still didn't give up the investigation when he came back. Just like the investigation of Jiang Moyao this time, everything seemed to be going too smoothly, but if he tried hard to hide it back then, why did he reveal everything now?
, this is so unreasonable.
The expression on Liu Mingyu's face this time was even uglier than before. He had been staring at this matter, but there really was no progress at all.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Zhou has been in the Middle East. The people we sent there did not find anything unusual. Mr. Xiao, is it true that we are overthinking? Maybe it is just like what he said."
Hearing this, Xiao Zichen sighed, sat on a chair irritably, looked out the window at the tall buildings towering into the sky, and said something faintly.
"Maybe, forget it, anyway, you can continue to let our people keep an eye on the old man's side, and you can also confirm it on Hals' side."
Speaking of this, Xiao Zichen looked at a photo on the table again, frowned, and said to himself.
"Why did he appear in Los Angeles County?"
Liu Mingyu heard this and said something faintly.
"Mr. Xiao, could it be that he went with Hals? After all, Hals is his assistant."
Xiao Zichen listened and smiled lightly.
"The boss follows the assistant, is this possible?"
In one sentence, Liu Mingyu was stunned. Indeed, assistants usually followed the boss's schedule. How could the boss accommodate his assistant?
And if Jiang Moyao's death was really related to Hals, why would that person ignore it?
There was obviously a pile of evidence in front of him, but Xiao Zichen felt that it was all dark, which was not the truth they wanted at all.
When Liu Mingyu heard this, he was a little hesitant, but he still agreed with Xiao Zichen's words and then said something.
"Mr. Xiao, I will make people stare."
After saying that, Liu Mingyu left the office.
Two days later, the largest banquet hall of the Haoting Hotel, where Zhao Keer's parents' 40th wedding anniversary dinner was held as scheduled.
Because almost two generations of the Zhao family have been involved in politics and the military, and have deep roots and connections in Los Angeles, the entrance to the Haoting Hotel tonight can be said to be crowded with luxury cars, just like a small car show.
Zhao Ke'er was personally picked up by her two brothers from Haotianju early this morning and brought back to the Zhao family compound, in the name of preparing for tonight's dinner. The reality is that only she can feel it.
.
The dinner party started at six o'clock, and around 5:40, Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen's car slowly stopped at the door of the hotel lobby. The doorman in charge of the reception had already memorized the license plates of all the guests and saw Xiao Zichen's black Bentley.
, immediately ran over and opened the door.
"Mr. Xiao, good evening."
The doorman opened the car door for Xiao Zichen and greeted him politely.
Xiao Zichen nodded to him, then walked to the other side and helped Mo Yurou open the car door.
Tonight, Mo Yurou was like a fairy descending from heaven. She wore a custom-made rhinestone tight-fitting evening dress. As soon as she stepped out of the car, she became the focus of the scene and instantly suppressed the women around her.
Mo Yurou usually puts her hair up to show her sophistication, but tonight, she made a big wave. The hair on both sides of her temples was slightly pulled behind her ears. On her head, she wore an exquisite diamond-encrusted tiara.
Under the illumination of the light, it shines brightly.
"Let's go, it's cold outside."
It was already like spring, but the night wind was still a bit chilly. Seeing Mo Yurou wearing such cool clothes, Xiao Zichen hugged Mo Yurou and said softly, and then the two of them walked into the hotel lobby.
"Zi Chen, Yu Rou."
The two people were about to walk towards the elevator when a crisp man's voice came from behind. They both turned around and saw Fu Yusheng and Qin Zhiyan walking towards this side together.
Qin Zhiyan is extraordinarily beautiful tonight. If Mo Yurou is dressed like a pure fairy tonight, then Qin Zhiyan is a coquettish rose tonight.
A red tube top skirt perfectly accentuated her slender, fair legs, especially the necklace on her chest, paired with the faintly visible breast line, giving people an illusion of imagination.
Mo Yurou couldn't help but raise her eyebrows at Qin Zhiyan. Mo Yurou's move made Qin Zhiyan feel a little embarrassed.
"What a coincidence. It seems that Miss Qin is Yu Sheng's female companion tonight."
Xiao Zichen looked at the two people in front of him and said meaningfully.
On an occasion like today, unless the relationship is close or there is the possibility of further development, we will never attend together.
This is no different from a business reception where you can randomly find someone of the opposite sex to attend for the sake of face. Although there are many guests tonight, it is essentially a private dinner. Those who are lucky enough to be invited are all relatives and friends of the Zhao family. There is no so-called entertainment.
When Xiao Zichen said this, an unnatural expression flashed across Fu Yusheng's face, but Qin Zhiyan on the side said understandingly.
"I invited Dean Fu to come with me. My parents happened to be in Kyoto and couldn't make it back. I've only been in Luo City for a few months. I rarely attend such occasions. I was afraid of making mistakes, so I could only invite Fu.
Dean, please help me with this."
When Qin Zhiyan said this, Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou looked at each other and smiled, and then heard Mo Yurou say to Fu Yusheng.
"Brother Yusheng, then you have to stay with Zhiyan tonight."
How could Fu Yusheng not know what Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou meant, but he didn't show any discomfort and said calmly.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about it."
With that said, Fu Yusheng looked at the increasing number of guests at the door and said.
"Let's go upstairs first."
After saying that, Fu Yusheng walked towards the elevator entrance. After taking two steps, he found that Qin Zhiyan had not followed. He stopped again and held his arms slightly. Seeing this, Qin Zhiyan immediately walked over and took Fu Yusheng's arm. The two of them looked at each other.
Went to the elevator.
Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen looked at this tiny detail, looked at each other and smiled, and then heard Mo Yurou tease.
"Why do I feel that Brother Yu Sheng is a little secretly happy?"
Xiao Zichen on the side listened and said something.
"He's just a slut."
Hearing Xiao Zichen's comment, Mo Yurou chuckled, and then whispered in Xiao Zichen's ear.
"Why do I think you do too?"
When Xiao Zichen heard this, the hand around Mo Yurou's waist lightly pinched the flesh on her waist. Mo Yurou frowned slightly and stared at Xiao Zichen, but Xiao Zichen said something faintly.
"Why am I so depressed, wife? Why do I feel like you are seducing me?"
As Xiao Zichen said, the hand originally placed on Mo Yurou's waist began to move down dishonestly. Mo Yurou's body suddenly tensed, and she immediately grabbed Xiao Zichen's hand that was about to touch her buttocks, and then said with an angry look on her face.
"Xiao Zichen, pay attention to the occasion."
With that said, Mo Yurou pulled Xiao Zichen towards the elevator entrance.
As soon as they arrived at the elevator, they saw Fu Yusheng smiling mischievously at them.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, can you two have separate occasions? It would be embarrassing for you to fight each other in public."
Fu Yusheng joked.
When Mo Yurou was told this, she lowered her head shyly.
When Xiao Zichen on the side saw this, he hugged Mo Yurou even tighter and said.
"We are called working with certificates. What are you doing? If you don't want to see it, don't see it. We are not forcing you to see our love."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen put his arms around Mo Yurou and entered the elevator. Fu Yusheng, who was exhausted by Xiao Zichen, could only shrug and then also entered the elevator.
The banquet was on the fourth floor of the hotel. When Xiao Zichen and the others arrived at the banquet hall, there were already many guests inside.
Because all the friends and relatives were invited to the dinner tonight, the Zhao family arranged a traditional Chinese dinner, with ten people per table.
Each table in the banquet hall had a guest list written on it, and Mo Yurou and the others happened to be seated at the same table as Fu Yusheng, close to the main table.
After Mo Yurou sat down, her sharp eyes spotted the names on the round table next to the main table. She gently tugged on Xiao Zichen's sleeve to remind him to look over.
Xiao Zichen turned around and looked, a wicked smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, then he raised his eyebrows and said.
"It seems we guessed it right."
Fu Yusheng, who was on the side, saw Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou whispering in secret, and he also came over.
"What are you talking about? It's mysterious."
After Mo Yurou heard this, she motioned Fu Yusheng to look at the large round table next to her where no one was seated. Fu Yusheng turned around, looked at it, and smiled slightly.
"No wonder, I asked who is in my hospital recently. I see Mingxuan every day. It seems that tonight's banquet has an ulterior motive."
After hearing what Fu Yusheng said, Mo Yurou suddenly said something curious.
"Do you think anything unexpected will happen tonight?"
Mo Yurou was suddenly full of curiosity and anticipation for tonight's dinner. This was the first time that the Zhao family had been so high-profile and extravagant. Looking at the banquet hall with such festive decorations, although it was to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary of Zhao Ke'er's parents, the surrounding people
The decoration always feels a bit too youthful and looks more like the type that young people would like.
Xiao Zichen on the side heard this and said something unexpectedly.
"What can happen? Could it be possible that Zhao Keer and Luo Mingxuan's engagement can be announced in the middle of it?"
When Xiao Zichen said this, Mo Yurou, Fu Yusheng were all stunned, and they both looked at Xiao Zichen.
Xiao Zichen also looked surprised at this time, and then coughed lightly.
"I just said casually, it shouldn't happen. With your good bestie personality, you don't seem to be someone who can be manipulated by others."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yurou thought about Zhao Keer's great achievements over the years, and felt that her idea just now was too bold, so she said something.
"That's true. With Kel's temper, if this is really an engagement party, there is a high probability that he will give up and leave."
