Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Chapter 710

Evening, World Trade Center Hotel, Hangzhou.

At this moment, a high-end banquet is being held here, and the attendees are all prominent business figures from Jianghang City.

As the elegant classical piano music filled the banquet hall, the guests, dressed in luxurious evening gowns and holding wine glasses, chatted in small groups, their words and actions exuding an air of high society!

Among them, the middle-aged men in the center of the banquet attracted the most attention.

They are all the heads of major enterprises in the Southeast Province, and the absolute protagonists of this banquet.

However, at this moment, the faces of these so-called big shots at the top of the pyramid all looked rather solemn.

"I suddenly can't get in touch with Director Zhang and the others. Can you get in touch with them?" Liu Desheng, the head of Huasheng Pharmaceutical Group, looked at the other middle-aged men and asked with a serious expression.

“We can’t get in touch with them.” Cao Wangde, the head of Niu Meng Group, shook his head with a solemn expression: “Since noon today, these people have not responded to any of the messages I’ve sent.”

"All these people have gone missing in half a day; something big must have happened..."

Lei Tiejun, the head of the Remy Group, narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

Immediately, he looked at Wang Darong, the head of Swire Properties, and asked:

"Chairman Wang, you have the closest connections with the authorities, have you managed to find out anything?"

Wang Darong also shook his head, his expression grave, and said:

"No, my communication network is completely down too."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened once again.

Clearly, something is wrong.

"It seems that the little tricks we did with Director Zhang and his team have been discovered by the higher-ups."

Lei Tiejun frowned and analyzed:

"If nothing unexpected happens, Director Zhang and the others are very likely to have been placed under investigation by the Party's internal party committee."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

Although I'm reluctant to believe it, I have to say that this is indeed the most likely thing to happen right now.

"Then what should we do now?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Wangde, the head of Niu Meng Group, looked somewhat worried.

The others fell silent upon hearing this, their faces also filled with tension and anxiety.

Once their superiors find out about the dirty tricks they've been up to, they'll be in deep trouble.

"Everyone, don't panic. We need to stay calm and not lose our composure."

Lei Tiejun calmly analyzed, "Our companies account for at least 30% of the GDP and more than 20% of employment in the Southeast Province."

Even if the higher-ups knew what we had done, they would never kill us in order to maintain the overall situation.

"In that case, when we go back, each of our families will donate 1 billion yuan to support poverty alleviation in the southeastern province. This will be a way of expressing our stance to the higher-ups and admitting our mistakes. We'll punish ourselves with three drinks first, and this matter will probably be over."

The others nodded in agreement.

Currently, this is indeed the best solution.

As for whether the higher-ups would take drastic measures against them, they believed it wouldn't.

After all, the livelihoods of millions of canal workers depend on these few companies, and the higher-ups are hesitant to harm them for fear of causing serious harm. They wouldn't really be so crazy as to want to kill them.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a little relieved, and their solemn expressions gradually softened.

"Hehe, let's not talk about this anymore."

Wang Darong smiled and waved his hand: "After all, today is my daughter's coming-of-age banquet, it's too unlucky to talk about these things."

With that, he picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered, "We can begin."

"Okay, Chairman Wang."

As the voice from the walkie-talkie faded, the lights in the entire banquet hall suddenly dimmed.

Upon seeing this, the guests immediately stopped chatting and turned their attention to the center of the stage.

There, a stunningly beautiful young woman in a black lace dress slowly walked out under the dazzling spotlight, instantly attracting the attention of countless young men.

The sight of the surging mountain peaks, in particular, left them speechless!

It's unbelievable that this is just the development of an eighteen-year-old girl!

Some of the wealthy young men who had been brought to the meeting by their parents couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"Holy crap! The Swire Properties heiress is absolutely stunning! How can someone be this beautiful?"

"I've dated some female celebrities in private. To be honest, the daughter of Swire Properties is definitely prettier than many second- or third-tier female celebrities."

"Does anyone have her WeChat? I want to pursue her."

"Brother, give up. The daughter of Swire Properties was betrothed to Lei Longfei, the eldest son of the head of Remy Group, a long time ago."

"Holy crap!? No!!!"

"Sigh, I really envy that kid Lei Longfei. If I could marry such a beautiful wife, I would be willing to shorten my brother's lifespan by fifty years."

"..."

Listening to the hushed discussions around him, a boy with dyed yellow curly hair grinned from ear to ear.

That's right, he is Lei Longfei, the fiancé of this stunningly beautiful girl in front of you.

For a man, there's nothing more satisfying than having another man's goddess become his slut.

As the Swire Properties heiress made her dazzling entrance, Swire Properties' chairman, Wang Darong, also slowly ascended the stage, picked up the microphone, and began with a smile:

"Welcome, everyone, to my daughter's 18th birthday celebration. To avoid you finding this old man too long-winded, I won't say much more. I just hope you all enjoy the food and drinks and have a great time tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

This also marked the official start of the banquet.

A well-known television presenter quickly stepped onto the stage, greeted with a warm smile, and began:

"Let us first welcome Ms. Wang Jialin, the leading lady of this banquet, and her fiancé, Mr. Lei Longfei, to present a dance for everyone."

clap clap clap!

The audience erupted in another round of enthusiastic applause.

Amidst the envious glances cast his way, Lei Longfei straightened his tie, then, with a haughty smile, puffed out his chest and walked toward the stage.

Upon reaching the stage and gazing upon the exquisite and beautiful face of the woman before him, Lei Longfei's heart stirred with desire, and he murmured in admiration:

"Jialin, you look so beautiful today."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jialin simply stared at the other person expressionlessly, showing no reaction whatsoever.

She had absolutely no feelings for this fiancé.

But this was her father's decision, and she had no right to resist.

Thinking of this, Wang Jialin couldn't help but feel sad for herself.

Many times, she wished she could just be an ordinary person.

At least this way, she can take control of her own life and won't be manipulated by others.

"If only a prince on a white horse could come and save me riding on a colorful cloud..."

Wang Jialin thought to herself.

Then, at that moment, a loud bang was heard, and the main entrance of the banquet hall was instantly blown apart!

At the same time, an extremely domineering voice rang out.

"Everyone, put your hands behind your heads and squat down!!!"
