This superpower is unreliable.

The band took the stage again and played cheerful music, and the guests seemed to have returned to the way they had been at the beginning, gathering in groups of three or five.

However, if you look closely, the atmosphere is different from the lively one at the beginning.

Although people were still drinking, eating and chatting, some people would occasionally look up and look around, as if they were expecting someone to come.

Wen Guzhi was moving among the crowd at this time.

Just now he just said "Don't go home until you are drunk" and then walked off the stage, holding a glass of wine and chatting with different people.

Su Jin followed Wen Guzhi quietly with Huang Chi, and heard their conversation more or less. They were all talking about the recent situation, the company's development, and future cooperation, but no one mentioned anything about Su Yunqing's previous speech in front of Wen Guzhi.

Maybe it's a tacit understanding that the show won't officially start before twelve o'clock.

But there are always people in this world who don't play by the rules.

While Huang Chiyao was picking food and listening to the conversation between Wen Guzhi and others, suddenly another person stood beside her.

"Little wild flower, do you care about your brother so much?"

Su Jin, like a stressed cat, immediately stood in front of Huang Chiyao with his fur standing on end.

"Boss Luo, please give me some face and don't cause any trouble today, okay?"

Luo Tuoman clenched his fist and punched Su Jin's shoulder. "Baking Soda, I'm not a bad person, don't go too far."

"Is not it?"

"Su Jin, it's okay." Huang Chi patted Su Jin's arm and said, "Let her talk."

Rotman did not move forward, but smiled and said to Huang Chiyao: "Don't worry, he can bear it."

"So, if you keep making this expression because of Brother Zhi, I'm going to be jealous."

Huang Chiyao continued to put food on his plate. "Miss Luo's jealousy has nothing to do with me."

"Oh, the little wild flower has grown thorns. I may be jealous, but I still admire you."

She stopped picking food, turned around and looked at Rotman.

"But I haven't forgiven you yet. You know exactly what you did to me."

Rotman's expression turned serious.

"Because I know it very well." She picked up a small piece of cake and gently placed it on the yellow-winged food, but it was like a mountain pressing down on me. "So, I don't like people to misunderstand me."

After saying this, Rotman threw away the clip in his hand and walked towards Wen Guzhi.

Huang Chiyao wondered if she would say something outrageous again, so he pulled Su Jin and followed her. Unexpectedly, Luo Tuoman opened his mouth and said, "Brother Zhi, are you looking forward to what will happen after twelve o'clock?"

The few people who were originally chatting with Wen Guzhi suddenly fell silent, and the people around them also looked over.

The topic that everyone avoided talking about was brought up so easily by Rottoman. Although no one dared to interrupt, everyone wanted to hear how Wen Guzhi would answer.

Wen Guzhi raised the corner of his mouth and said two words.

"you guess."

As his eyes moved, he looked at Huang Chiyao, paused for a few seconds, then looked at Su Jin, tilting his head slightly. Su Jin seemed to immediately understand what Wen Guzhi meant, and said to Huang Chiyao: "Chiyao, let's go to the Lotus Lake to eat. There are fewer people there."

"But……"

Huang Chiyao always remembered what Wen Guzhi had said to her before.

Don't leave his sight.

Su Jin comforted her, "It's okay, this is what my brother meant."

Huang Chiyao looked towards Wen Guzhi, only to see him nod slightly.

She had no choice but to pick up her food and follow Su Jin out of the banquet venue and to the Lotus Lake.

The two of them sat together in the pavilion by the lake, eating in silence. The lotus flowers in the lake had long since withered, leaving only some dry stems drooping over the surface of the lake. Across the lake was a forest, but the light from the pavilion could not reach that far and could not be seen clearly.

However, even though the scenery was beautiful, Huang Chiyao had no intention of appreciating it at the moment.

She randomly picked up a few bites of food and stuffed them into her mouth, but because of her restless mood, she had no taste for it. Later, she couldn't eat any more, so she simply put down her fork and asked bluntly: "Is something going to happen tonight?"

Su Jin was silent for a while, then replied, "It's hard to say."

Huang Chiyao had to try from other angles.

"Su Jin, you and Wen Guzhi are cousins, why do you have the same last name as the chairman?"

"I have the same last name as my mother." Su Jin also put down his fork. "Although it is not convenient for me to talk about my brother's family relationships, I can tell you about my own. My family is very harmonious. We can discuss things and make up for the occasional quarrels quickly because my parents respect each other. It was my father's idea that I have the same last name as my mother. He said that my mother worked hard to give birth to me, and he can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor."

"very nice."

Huang Chiyao also felt that Su Jin's family was enviable.

"Let me tell you this, my brother's family and my family are two opposites. I don't know why there is such a big difference between sisters."

No wonder.

Huang Chiyao then took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then your parents didn't come today?"

Su Jin hesitated for a moment.

“…Auntie told them not to come over.”

"So everyone knows what's going to happen tonight, right?"

Su Jin sighed and stopped avoiding answering Huang Chiyao's question. "I guess my aunt might be fishing. But I don't know if my brother knows about it."

Huang Chiyao couldn't imagine such a complicated situation. She should stay on the sidelines and watch, but emotionally, she couldn't just stand by and watch things happen without being able to do anything.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"You don't have to do anything." Su Jin shook his head firmly. "My mission is to protect my brother and you."

Huang Chi looked at the woods in the distance and fell into deep thought.

She also knew that it was a bit presumptuous of her to ask this question.

"Shh!"

A friction sound coming from the woods opposite caught Huang Chiyao's attention.

She opened her eyes wide, but the woods were too dark and she couldn't see anything. She only saw a dark shadow flash by.

Huang Chiyao was stunned and his heart was in his throat.

what is that?

She stood up carefully, walked out of the pavilion, and tried hard to open her eyes wider so that she could see more clearly.

The dark shadow seemed to be between two trees, sitting on the ground like a child, holding something in its hands.

"Wings shaking? Why…"

"Shh!"

As soon as Su Jin's voice came out, the black shadow disappeared extremely quickly and swiftly.

Huang Chiyao turned around slowly, put his index finger on his lips, signaling Su Jin not to make any more noise, then picked up the fork he had just used to eat, held it tightly in his hand, tiptoed onto the bridge in the middle of the lake, and walked towards the woods.

There it is again!

When he saw the long tail hanging on the tree and the furry outline on the body, Huang Chiyao finally determined what kind of animal it was.

monkey.

That's a monkey.

But isn't this manor supposed to be a place for learning about the past? Why are there monkeys here?

When Huang Chiyao was about to reach the other side of the lake, the dark figure suddenly disappeared into the woods and disappeared without a trace.

She slowly lowered her hand holding the fork and let out a long sigh.

But my heart still can't calm down.

Su Jin tiptoed to Huang Chiyao's side and asked, "Chiyao, what did you see? Is there anyone there?"

"It's not a human, it's a monkey." Huang Chi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face changed, and he grabbed Su Jin's arm, "Do you have a way to mobilize the security here?

Su Jin nodded, not understanding why, "I can ask someone for help."

"Please tell them not to let this monkey appear at the banquet venue." Huang Chiyao instructed Su Jin solemnly, "Especially in front of your brother."
