"Xiao Ming isn't a good friend. He's actually hiding it. Oh well, those young girls are too noisy. What woman in her late twenties is witty and considerate?"

Sheng Jin put his arms around his two female companions, then leaned in and deliberately bit their necks.

His female companions screamed repeatedly, but Sheng Jinheng's gaze remained fixed on Gu Mingqi.

He really couldn't understand Gu Mingqi's purpose in trapping him here.

He was also curious about what kind of person this young lady from Shangguandu was, since he couldn't imagine what it would be like for Shangguandu to be chasing after someone.

"Are you sure that young girl is the person Brother Du is looking for?" Sheng Jinheng released the women, sat up straight, and his expression became much more serious, sensing that Shangguan Du might have fallen.

Gu Mingqi shook his head, looking at the crimson stain in his hand. "I don't know."

They felt it was pointless; they figured they'd meet the real person eventually, but he hadn't met his sister yet.

Sheng Jinheng picked up the suit jacket from the table and strode out with his long, austere legs.

"Sheng Laosan, where are you going?"

Seeing his action, Gu Mingqi felt a little guilty. "Didn't we agree to drink until we drop?"

"I still have something to do."

After saying that, Sheng Jinheng pushed open the door to the private room, but the door closed again.

"Hey, aren't you going to stop him, Young Master Gu?" Shangguan Tian looked at Gu Mingqi with a puzzled expression.

Watching Sheng Jinheng's departing figure, I wondered, "How long can we stop him? What do you think, given his intelligence?"

……

Beidi No. 1 Garden.

Shangguan Du tossed the document bag and jewelry appraisal report onto his desk.

The report indicates that the fingerprint does not match.

He had already guessed it, but...

He picked up another report...

It would be strange if Gu Qingyan would put the evidence out in the open.

Given Gu Qingyan's temperament, how could she possibly leave such an obvious clue there?

I was really impulsive today; it was quite absurd.

He's really obsessed.

Shangguan Du smirked, leaning back in his chair, his fingers stroking the necklace in the transparent bag, his expression unreadable.

……

Jiusen Jue Se.

Xie Shiren opened the door and came in, asking, "Where is Sheng Laosan?"

Xie Shiren couldn't sleep, so he came in.

Following behind were Shi Qiansi, Shangguan Yan, and Shangguan Ren, who he had brought along, to drink together.

"Let's go." Gu Mingqi looked at the group of people and exchanged a glance with Shangguan Tian.

“He’s having an alcohol craving,” Shi Qiansi said, looking at the wine on the table. “Don’t you guys think that Brother Du has been a bit too much with Gu Qingyan lately?”

Shangguan Tian was quick to read the room and immediately went out to have the wine on the table removed and replaced with a fresh batch.

The people in the private room exchanged glances and fell silent.

Shangguan Yan had a roguish look, but his appearance was very delicate. He had spiky hair and opened a bottle of red wine to pour a glass for everyone. "Now I'm numb to the name Gu Qingyan. I thought she was a young lady from a prestigious family. It turns out the Sheng family doesn't acknowledge the young lady they just found. She's just a nobody."

Given their status, it's impossible for them to have any dealings with matters in the entertainment industry.

They won't actively pay attention either.

Shangguan Ren said, "She grew up in an orphanage in the countryside and has a lot of scandals, most of which are fake. But she dropped out of school and went into the entertainment industry, and she hasn't achieved anything in a year."

They had all read these documents thoroughly, but still couldn't understand them. "He can't even handle something as small as borrowing jewelry. I don't know why the master suddenly took a liking to him."

Xie Shiren waved the photos he had secretly taken of Gu Qingyan at the last charity gala in front of them, saying, "Do you want me to give you a magnifying glass to look at? It's not unusual for Brother Du to be interested in her face."

Shangguan Ren picked up his wine glass and took a sip. "It's just that face, but that's Master Du. Do you think he'd be that kind of shallow person?"

“I think,” Gu Mingqi’s dark eyes flickered, “things might not be that simple.”

"Wow, Attorney Xiao Ming's brain is really something else." Xie Shiren couldn't help but praise Gu Mingqi after hearing his words, and raised his glass to clink glasses with him.

Shi Qiansi raised his eyebrows, his expression nonchalant.

"What's different?" Xie Shiren continued to ask.

“Although the Sheng family has not publicly revealed Gu Qingyan’s identity, Old Master Sheng gave her the shares, and the Sheng brothers are all doting on their sister.” Gu Mingqi bluntly analyzed.

Hear the words.

The people in the private room remained silent for a few more seconds.

Everyone overlooked the fact that, no matter how bad she was, she was still a member of the Sheng family.

Xie Shiren rested his chin on his hand in thought: "It's more likely that it's just for fun."

Only Shangguan Tian, ​​who was in the corner, glanced at the group and then silently took a sip.

Xie Shiren said, "Wow, do you guys think if Gu Qingyan really becomes our sister-in-law, will the three brothers fight with Brother Du?" He looked concerned, but his eyes were full of excitement.

Shi Qiansi: "..."

Gu Mingqi: "..."

Shangguan Tian: "..."

Shangguan Yan: "..."

Shangguan Ren: "..."

This statement is like a depth charge.

Shangguan Yan: "Young Master Xie, Young Master Shi, Young Master Gu, tell me, Gu Qingyan has been recognized by the Sheng family for over a year, why did I suddenly notice her?"

Shi Qiansi shrugged, picked up a cigarette from the table but didn't light it. "Today's is even more absurd. Brother Du actually brought back two necklaces for appraisal and fingerprint comparison. I don't understand this operation at all."

"That necklace is so old, the fingerprints should be long gone?" Gu Mingqi, is this some kind of joke?

Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Ren stared at each other, their eyes wide: "What was the final result?"

Xie Shiren looked at the wine glass in his hand. "If the outcome is unusual, will we be able to drink here?"

Shangguan Yan remained silent.

“Brother Du is getting more and more confused lately,” Xie Shiren couldn’t help but remind him, then looked at Shangguan Tian, ​​Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Ren and said, “You guys, be more discerning, know your place and don’t talk nonsense in front of Brother Du, or you’ll be punished and sent back to training.”

“Of course, we know our limits. We were just curious.” Shangguan Yan stubbed out his cigarette. “We don’t have that much energy to waste on some nobody.”

Shangguan Ren remained silent.

Gu Mingqi: "That's right, it's not worth mentioning. I just heard that Crimson Flame accepted an order?"

Shangguan Tian nodded slightly, "Yeah, but why did my idol suddenly take on this order?"

When Shangguan Ren heard them mention this, he asked, "They even raised the price, making it three times the market price."

Shangguan Tian is ranked on the hacker list, and everyone knows that Poison Fox has been his idol for many years.

Everyone else drank silently, without saying a word.

Xie Shiren chuckled, "It looks like things are about to explode in R Continent."

The sudden appearance of this big shot suggests something more is going on.

"How do you know that others are worthless? Do you think the person I've chosen would be simple?" Shangguan Tian suddenly spoke up.

A simple sentence, yet it left these people speechless.

Everyone had their own thoughts, so they didn't mention the matter again and silently started drinking.
