Chapter 424 – All Wrong
Outside the main building of the Baili Group.
A black sedan slowly pulled over to the side of the road, the windows rolled down, and the Ninth Seat looked at the magnificent building in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed.
”They’ve arrived at the venue.” Shen Qingzhu held the steering wheel in her hands, “Are we still chasing after them?”
”First the escort of Squad 010, then the fleet of the Baili family …… They did protect Baili Tu Ming very well, ah?” The Ninth Seat snorted coldly, “Do they really think that I wouldn’t dare to make a move in the Baili Family’s main meeting place?”
Shen Qingzhu frowned slightly, “Lord Ninth Seat, the defense within the Baili Group’s main building is extremely tight, and there are a large number of forbidden envoys stationed there, it is almost impossible for us to break in.”
”Who said we’re going to break in?”
The ninth seat slowly pulled out two black invitations from his pocket, the corners of his mouth curved into an icy arc, “Before we came here, I had the seventh seat imitate two invitations, so we’ll directly walk in openly and honestly, and then look for a chance to kill Baili Tu Ming.
They absolutely could not have imagined that we could blend in amongst the guests ……”
Shen Qingzhu’s expression was a bit odd, “Will this be too risky? What if we are discovered?”
The ninth seat raised his gaze, looked at Shen Qingzhu’s face through the rearview mirror, and spoke coldly, “What, are you afraid? As the red man in front of Lord Rumor’s eyes, the person who is going to become the second seat of the believers in the future and lead the entire [Believers] to glory, you don’t even dare to take this risk?”
”……”
Shen Qingzhu took the invitation and silently tucked the white fox mask in his bosom.
”When is the departure time?”
”Now.”
Dingdong-!
The elevator stopped at the 166th floor and the doors slowly opened, a spacious and luxurious banquet hall appeared in front of Lin Qiye and the others.
The entire 166th floor was the venue for the birthday banquet, the large flat floor of several hundred square meters was surrounded by immaculate floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside the windows was an endless sea of clouds, the cascading white clouds floated languidly under the feet of the crowd, and from here, one could look down on the entirety of Guangshen.
”All honored guests, please make yourselves at home, in another ten minutes, the birthday banquet will begin.” Chang Kangsheng smiled and spoke.
Lin Qiye nodded and casually took a bottle of champagne from the waiter passing by, slowly walking towards the floor-to-ceiling windows not far away.
”Why do you look so skillful?” Cao Yuan walked up to him and looked around, always feeling out of place with the elegant atmosphere of this place, and couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow, “Is it hard? Don’t they all act like this in movies?”
Cao Yuan: ……
An Qingyu similarly walked to the side with a glass of champagne, her gaze sweeping over the surrounding guests, pausing for a moment on a few people in the corner before looking away again as if nothing had happened.
”Squad 010 stationed in Guangshen is also here.” He turned his head to look out the window and said calmly.
”Where?”
”In the corner to the southeast, those few that look distracted are.” An Qingyu pushed his glasses, “Their standing posture is different from the others, their backs are straight, their aura is majestic, and their right hands all have thick calluses on them, so it looks like they often hold swords.”
Lin Qiye’s afterglow glanced there and nodded slightly, “They’re the Vigilantes team from Guangshen City, and the chairman of the Baili Group has a background in the Vigilantes’ top echelons, it’s normal for them to be invited to attend the birthday banquet……. Only, they seem preoccupied, they seem to have encountered something difficult matter?”
Cao Yuan asked, “Why don’t we go over and make contact with them?”
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and shook his head, “No, our identities are sensitive and it’s not suitable to contact them head on, and there are only a few people in this venue that know about the existence of the Night Watchman, so if we approach them rashly, we’ll make them suspicious instead.”
”That’s true.”
Lin Qiye looked up at the time, took a sip of champagne without panicking, and slowly spoke, “There’s still seven minutes left before the birthday banquet starts, so let’s just drink quietly for a while and then wait to see Baili Chubby make his appearance.”
When Cao Yuan heard this, he subconsciously made a move to straighten his collar.
”That kid, he can’t really be dressed more handsome than me, right?” He muttered.
Right at this moment, a young girl wearing a red dress with a hollowed out back carried a wine glass and smiled as she walked over to Lin Qiye’s side, her sweet voice coming out.
”Hello, my name is Li Xiang, from the Li Group …… You’re so good looking, can I get to know you?” Her long and slender eyelashes fluttered gently, and those eyes gazed at Lin Qiye’s side face, seemingly a bit mesmerized.
On the side, Calan’s hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly and stiffly turned his head sideways, his eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous light flickering in his eyes.
Lin Qiye swept a glance at her and spoke indifferently, ”Li Group? Never heard of it, please stay away from me, your perfume odor is smelling me.”
Li Xiang’s smile froze on her face.
Calan nearly burst out laughing, she pretended to clear her throat as if nothing had happened, turned her head to look out the window at the cloudy scenery, and took a sip of champagne in a happy mood.
Mmm, sweet.
”Hello, my name is Han Shuai, from Teng Yuan Heavy Industry, miss, may I …… ask,” a suited young master walked up to Jia Lan’s side, ruffled his hair a bit, and opened his mouth in a graceful manner.
”Scram!”
”……”
Baili Group.
The chairman’s office.
Standing in front of the wide black desk, Baili Xin casually put an expensive wristwatch on his hand, briefly straightened his clothes against the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling window, and slowly turned around.
In front of the desk, Baili Chubby and Baili Jing stood side by side.
Baili fat fat wearing a dark blue expensive suit, head up and chest, originally some fat body in the formal wear under the background, looks just a little stout, cynical attitude has been completely convergence, face solemn, the whole person looks stable and atmosphere.
Beside him, Baili Jing lowered his head and put his gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, and opened his mouth unhurriedly, “Father, the guests of the birthday banquet have already come all together, and all the processes have been prepared properly, there are probably still more than five minutes left, and it is going to officially start.”
”Uh-huh.” Baili Xin nodded slightly and spoke expressionlessly, “I’ll go out to meet with a few old friends first, you go directly to the venue in a while.”
”Yes.”
As the words fell, Baili Xin’s gaze directly ignored the two people in front of the table and took a step straight towards the door.
Bang–!
The door to the room of the chairman’s office closed.
The air inside the room fell into a dead silence.
Baili Chubby’s eyes narrowed slightly as he turned his head to look at Baili Jing beside himself, a touch of coldness surfacing in his eyes.
”There’s still a bit of time.” Baili Chubby spoke in a deep voice, “It’s time for the two of us to settle our accounts.”
Baili Jing raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he unhurriedly walked around the desk and leisurely sat down on the black swivel chair of the chairman of the board.
”Yes, our accounts …… should be properly calculated.”
He said with a smirk.
