The opportunity arose when the dinner reached its climax and the guests began to move around and chat freely. Wu Meng was surrounded by several wealthy ladies who were discussing the latest jewelry auction.
She seemed to be enjoying the conversation and casually placed her evening bag on the armrest of a velvet sofa next to her for rest.
Chao Youye's heartbeat quickened slightly. He moved his feet calmly, like a ghost passing by, and approached the sofa.
He turned his back to the crowd, his eyes quickly scanning the expensive handbag. The zipper was not fully closed, revealing a corner of the phone screen.
Now is the time!
He leaned forward slightly, pretending to be bumped by a guest next to him, stumbled, and tilted the champagne glass in his hand forward just in time.
"oops!"
A low exclamation was heard, followed by a crisp sound of shattering, and half a glass of champagne was accurately splashed onto the armrest of the sofa and the evening bag.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Chao Youye immediately steadied himself, with just the right amount of panic and apology on his face. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to attract the attention of the people around him.
He quickly picked up the clean napkin handed to him by the waiter next to him, and while apologizing repeatedly, he hurriedly wiped the armrest of the sofa and the bag that was splashed with wine.
"My bag!" Wu Meng exclaimed with distress and anger. She immediately stopped talking with the rich ladies and walked over quickly.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Wu, it was my fault." Chao Youye's voice was full of guilt, but her hands moved quickly and precisely.
He picked up the handbag that was wet with wine, wrapped it with a thick napkin, and wiped it quickly. However, his fingers, using the napkin and the wiping action as a cover, quickly and covertly reached into the unclosed opening of the bag.
His fingertips touched the cold phone case! His heart was pounding. With extraordinary calmness and fingertip flexibility, he pressed the power button on the side of the phone very lightly in less than two seconds.
The screen lit up instantly! On the lock screen, an open banking app interface clearly caught his eye—a page with large transfer records.
The recipient's name was surprisingly: **Xu Jinshi Studio**! The long string of zeros following the transfer amount made Chao Youye's pupils shrink suddenly!
That's enough! This is what he needs!
Just as Wu Meng reached out to take back the bag, Chao Youye had already withdrawn her fingers calmly.
He returned the cleaned bag with both hands, his face still full of apology: "Aunt Wu, can you check if you got it dirty? I'm so sorry..."
Wu Meng snatched the bag and without bothering to scold, he hurriedly opened it to check the cell phone and important items inside.
Seeing that the phone screen was on, her expression changed slightly. She quickly turned off the screen and glanced at Chao Youye vigilantly.
But Chao Youye's face was filled with pure uneasiness caused by getting into trouble, and her eyes were clear without a trace of impurities.
"Forget it, forget it. Be more careful next time!" Wu Meng scolded unhappily. After confirming that her phone was fine (she just thought she had forgotten to turn off the app before), she ignored Chao Youye and turned around to continue talking to the rich ladies, but her expression looked a little ugly.
He bowed slightly to Youye to apologize, then quietly stepped back and returned to an inconspicuous corner.
He picked up a new glass of champagne, his fingertips were cold and trembling slightly, not with fear, but with extreme excitement and cold certainty.
The prey has fallen into the trap.
Transfer record! Recipient: Xu Jinshi Studio! That's a huge amount of money that would make any auditor raise an eyebrow!
Wu Meng, you're done. Wu Zeyu, your support is about to collapse!
He gently swirled the golden liquid in the cup, his violet eyes reflecting the dazzling light and shadow of the banquet hall, bottomless.
A storm was about to be ignited by him personally within the seemingly solid fortress of the Chao family. The first step was to let this fire burn right under Chao Nanxing's nose.
