He had no intention of personally rescuing the two trapped old men.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he unexpectedly heard the two old men falling out of the place where they were trapped.
This is too unexpected!
At this point, he was even more certain that he was being plotted.
This is how to do?
Leave this place immediately without saying a word?
"Li Xiang, look, it's Li Xiang!" an old man said in surprise.
"Yes, it's Li Xiang. What Shangguan Aoxue said is indeed true, Li Xiang is really here to pick us up." Another old man came over excitedly and took his hand.
Obviously, leaving quietly is no longer possible for him.
"old……"
Li Xianggang wanted to admit it and left quickly with the two old people.
But with sharp eyes, he saw a red light flashing on the frame of the mirror at the moment the light flickered.
His whole body suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he didn't use a title that would make outsiders feel intimate.
So he said to the two old men with a bit of disgust in his smile:
"Old man, you have recognized the wrong person. My name is Li Xiang, but I am not the Li Xiang you said."
He explained to the two old men in an extremely calm tone.
"Mistaken identity? Impossible! If you weren't, how could you be here?"
Lao Liu firmly denied it.
"I...forget it, if you don't believe it, I can't help it. Sorry, I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
He remembered that Zhang Ling was still alone in the banquet hall.
This is Shangguan Aoxue's home court, and she is very worried that she will be bullied by others.
He must go back as soon as possible to protect Zhang Ling Zhouquan.
"Wait a minute!" Lao Zhou quickly blocked Li Xiang's path.
He looked at Lao Zhou who was blocking the road and said with a bit of helplessness:
"You two, what do you mean? I'm very busy."
Lao Zhou explained very seriously:
"We are also very busy. We just want to see your grandma who is critically ill."
Speaking of grandma, a trace of nostalgia flashed across Li Xiang's face.
The keen Lao Zhou was even more convinced of Lao Liu's point of view and said:
"You don't have to admit that you are Li Xiang. But please tell us the hospital and ward where your grandma lives, okay?"
Li Xiang sneered and said sternly, pretending to be indifferent:
"are you crazy!"
Lao Liu followed up Lao Zhou's words and continued:
"Yes, as long as you tell us, we can guarantee that we will never appear in front of you again in the future."
Li Xiang pretended to be speechless and continued:
"You really want to know? Come on, I'll tell you."
"Wow, wow!" The two old men came over excitedly.
After Li Xiang listened to what the two old men said, there was a moment when he wanted to tell them in a secret way that it was no longer necessary.
The moment the lights in the corridor flickered out, he saw a pot of green plant in the corner, also flashing red light.
The other side of the camera is in front of the screen.
Shangguan Aoxue saw that Li Xiang was about to say something crucial, and said to his subordinates slightly anxiously:
"Sound, please turn it up louder. I can't hear anything."
Suddenly, Li Xiang deliberately shouted angrily in the ears of the two old people:
"You are crazy. How many times do you have to tell me before you believe that I am not the Li Xiang you say, let alone who you are talking about."
He forcefully swallowed back all the words he wanted to say.
I want to use these words to express my jealousy and disgust towards the two old people.
Trying to get the old man to give up and leave quickly.
Obviously, Li Xiang underestimated the old man's stubbornness.
Even if they would rather be scolded as crazy, they still have to confirm today to see if Li Xiang has that crescent-shaped scar.
"Why don't you dare? Haha, I guessed it right. You are the Li Xiang we know." Lao Liu shouted excitedly.
"No, no, please stop pestering me. Otherwise, don't blame me for ruthlessly inviting you to the detention center to drink rice porridge for a few days."
Lao Zhou then said aggressively:
"Don't worry, porridge is our favorite. We are not afraid of drinking porridge."
Li Xiang never thought that these two old men were so rogue. He was forced to collapse and shouted angrily:
"What on earth do you want to do?"
The two old men looked at each other and smiled when they saw Li Xiang showing signs of collapse.
Lao Zhou said with a feeling that his conspiracy had succeeded:
"Haha, you could have been more cooperative earlier."
Old Liu continued what Old Zhou said:
"It's very simple. The Li Xiang we know has a crescent-shaped scar on his left forearm. Do you dare to let us check it?"
Li Xiang sneered and said:
"Can I refuse your request?"
Lao Zhou replied even more irritatingly:
"No. If you refuse, we will try our best to force you to accept it from now on."
"You guys are cruel!" Li Xiang pretended to grit his teeth and compromised, "Okay, I can show you. But I hope you keep your promise and don't pester me again in the future."
Shangguan Aoxue, who was in front of the monitor, heard it and got up and moved closer to the screen.
I am also looking forward to seeing the crescent-shaped scar that the old man mentioned for the first time.
He unbuttoned his cuffs and slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing a tooth-shaped scar on his left forearm.
Shangguan Aoxue, like the two old men, gradually became excited as the tooth-shaped scar gradually turned into a bamboo shoot-shaped scar.
Lao Liu excitedly grabbed Li Xiang's forearm with his sleeves rolled up and said:
"Yes, I saw it right. You are the Li Xiang we know. Your scars are exactly the same. How can you be cunning now?"
Li Xiang snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain, reached out and threw away Lao Liu's hand, and threw it aside hard.
"Why are you so anxious? You can wait until you see my scars before making a judgment."
Lao Zhou was obviously not as excited as Lao Liu.
Because he knew that if Li Xiang agreed to check, he would probably not be able to see anything else.
So in order to end this farce as soon as possible, Li wanted to pull Lao Liu aside.
Lao Zhou is now even more worried that Shangguan Aoxue will come to trouble them.
"you……"
Old Liu was unhappy and just wanted to scold Old Zhou for pulling him, but unexpectedly he saw that the scar only reached the tip of a bamboo shoot, and the rest of the skin was intact.
Old Liu still couldn't believe it. He grabbed Li Xiang's left hand with one hand and flipped his sleeve several times to make sure.
Then he let go of Li Xiang's hand and said:
"Impossible, impossible. How come your crescent-shaped scar turned into the shape of a bamboo shoot? This is unscientific!"
The sober old Zhou didn't want to wait for Shangguan Aoxue to come to settle accounts.
So I probably asked Li Xiang about the direction and method of going out.
He grabbed Lao Liu and left in a hurry.
When Shangguan Aoxue saw this, her expectations were completely disappointed.
Unexpectedly, the two old men he hired could prove nothing in the end.
However, since Li Xiang is here tonight, he must take advantage of the good opportunity of the birthday party to do something.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Aoxue pointed to the surveillance screen in front of her and said to the servants beside her:
"No matter what method we use to inform you, we can let this woman go anywhere during the banquet tonight. Just don't let her meet Li Xiang again."
…
Zhang Ling followed the waiter's instructions and wandered around for a long time but couldn't find the bathroom.
Only when I received a phone call did I know that Li Xiang had returned to the banquet.
Her bad luck happened to start with this phone call.
My phone happened to be out of battery, so I took a few detours and couldn't figure out where I was.
When I was walking in a hurry, I lost my balance and broke my knee again.
I can only find my way back alone.
I don’t know how long has passed?
She unexpectedly encountered two sneaky people walking in front of her at the corner of the corridor bridge.
She happily stepped forward and asked:
"Master, I'm lost. May I ask..."
"Girl, is that you?" The two of them looked back and said excitedly.
Zhang Ling recognized the old man and asked curiously:
"Why are you here?"
Lao Zhou was about to answer as if he had met a savior.
"Come on, those two thieves are here, come and catch them!"
As soon as the shouting ended, I saw a dark group of people chasing after me in the distance.
Zhang Ling subconsciously squeezed her bag, looked at the two old people in surprise and said:
"Thief! You, what did you steal?"
Lao Zhou explained with an aggrieved face:
"We didn't steal anything! It was them..."
Before Lao Zhou could explain clearly, the frightened Lao Liu quickly interrupted:
"Hey, Lao Zhou, what are you talking about? Run! You still want to be locked in the toilet by them."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lao Zhou being grabbed by the wrist and running away away from him by Lao Liu.
Zhang Ling is currently wondering why the two old men are here?
Not very interested!
She thought that the person who caught the thief must be the security guard here.
You can definitely ask the security guard how to get back to the banquet site?
But what surprised her was the security personnel passing by.
It was as if she was nothing more than air.
No matter how she called for help, she received no response.
These behaviors completely pissed her off.
She casually picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at it.
Apparently, I heard the security guard who was running at the end scream in pain. He touched his painful shoulder and looked back at the pebbles that fell on the ground.
"Hey, I broke it. Come here." Zhang Ling thought she could finally go back this time.
But the security guard didn't seem to hear her cry at all.
He turned around and followed the other security personnel who were catching the thief.
Being ignored like this made Zhang Ling seriously doubt whether she was alive?
Or suspect that you may be dreaming.
She pinched her arm.
The clear pain made her understand that this was not a dream, and the feeling of being thirsty and hungry made her even more sure that she was still alive.
So why did these security personnel ignore her existence when they passed by?
Apparently there is only one explanation.
They are all intentional.
I deliberately didn't want her to find her way back to the party.
Shangguan Aoxue has always admired Li Xiang and doesn't want her to return to the birthday party today.
It can only mean that what this woman wants to do next is not convenient for her to be present.
What could it be?
Li Xiang temporarily cut off contact with Zhang Ling and wanted to go out to search anxiously.
Unexpectedly, the way was blocked by Shangguan Aoxue who suddenly appeared.
"Mr. Li, the birthday party is about to start. I want to invite you to help me cut the cake. But where are you going?"
Shangguan Aoxue's soft voice was full of prayer.
"Cut the cake! Sorry, I can't find my girlfriend. I have to go look for her. Please move out of the way."
"Zhang Ling, didn't she go out to look for you shortly after you left? Didn't you meet her when you came back?"
"No!"
Shangguan Aoxue looked at Li Xiang's eager back and shouted:
"Wait a moment!"
"Is something wrong?" Li Xiang stopped, turned around, and looked at him suspiciously.
Shangguan Aoxue said with a somewhat worried look as she walked:
"Mr. Li, it will be bad if you go out and pass by Zhang Ling again. Why don't you let me arrange for someone to help you find someone? Besides, Zhang Ling is also a guest at my banquet, so it is my responsibility to find someone."
."
Li Xiang's eagerness to go out and search suddenly wavered.
Shangguan Aoxue noticed it and struck while the iron was hot. He glanced at the housekeeper pretending to be unhappy and said:
"Didn't I tell you that whenever a guest leaves, I must send someone to guide me? Why did I lose my guest?"
The butler explained with aggrieved expression:
"Miss, you really can't rely on me to do this. As you know, some guests just don't like us to follow them. In order not to offend the guests, we can only do it."
Shangguan Aoxue looked very angry and said:
"Shut up! Don't look for reasons to shirk responsibility here. Please arrange for someone to find him immediately."
"Yes! I will arrange for someone to find him right now." The housekeeper quickly turned around and left.
After watching the two people's performances, Li Xiang completely believed that Shangguan Aoxue would really arrange for people to find Zhang Ling.
Shangguan Aoxue cut the cake together in order to get Li Xiang to agree to help.
She promised that after the birthday party, as long as Li Xiang did not invite her, Shangguan Aoxue would never take the initiative to pester Li Xiang again.
She even said with tears in her eyes that it was her last wish to have him help cut the cake.
Under normal circumstances, any man who sees this will choose to agree.
What's more, he can solve Shangguan Aoxue's problem neatly and neatly.
Now he just hoped that Zhang Ling would never come back when they were cutting the cake.
Then he might not be able to explain such a misunderstanding with all his mouth.
Under the gaze of many guests, the two stood side by side, holding a knife and hanging it on the giant cake...
Of course, cutting the cake is not the point.
The scene of the cake cutting was enough to make public opinion favorable to Shangguan Aoxue.
"Not long ago, it was rumored that Mr. Li's girlfriend is Zhang Ling, the newly appointed vice president of XX Group. What does it mean that Shangguan Aoxue is leaning on Mr. Li's arms to cut the cake? I don't understand, I don't understand!"
"You don't know this. I heard that Shangguan Aoxue has been committed to being a secretary at Zhihua Technology for a long time in order to pursue Mr. Li. It seems that tonight's birthday party is an official announcement."
"That's right! The Shangguan family is an old family. Although the family power is not as strong as before in recent years, the family influence has always been there. If I were Li Xiang, I would choose Shangguan Aoxue for the strategic development of Zhihua Technology."
…
period!
What makes Li Xiang feel a little strange is that when they are in the same frame in front of many guests, he always feels that he is being watched by Zhang Ling.
His eyes scanned the surrounding guests no less than three times, but Zhang Ling was still nowhere to be seen.
Did he have a delusion?
No, the inner panic and uneasiness is clear.
Even if it wasn't an illusion, he still had to keep a distance from the woman next to him.
So Li Xiang really couldn't stand Shangguan Aoxue's dependent behavior, so he threatened him in his ear:
"Miss Shangguan, please stop leaning on me. Otherwise, I will leave immediately."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shangguan Aoxue said with a bit of shyness on her face.
This behavior was regarded by others at the banquet as Li Xiang's expression of love for Shangguan Aoxue.
Because Shangguan Aoxue has always maintained a smile that makes anyone feel sweet to the heart when they see her.
Li Xiang saw that Shangguan Aoxue was obedient and no longer relied on him, but his heart was still flustered.
Because what he didn't know was that at this moment, Zhang Ling had been lured to an electronic screen by Shangguan Aoxue's people, and was admiring their intimate cake-cutting scene.
