This firework was just a warm-up. Immediately afterwards, a deafening sound rang out, and a fireworks feast bloomed in the inky night sky.
Everyone in the banquet hall was drawn to the window, looking up at the fireworks filling the sky. It was a colorful and splendid visual feast, and everyone exclaimed in amazement.
However, in this dark scene that was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, a group of people moved quickly under the cover of trees. With the help of high-tech equipment, they climbed up the tall building very skillfully and broke the window to jump in.
Pang Kunpeng patted his round belly with one hand and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Hongye Winery to prepare a fireworks show. They really put a lot of effort into it."
However, there seemed to be an unremovable deep feeling in Si Lijue's eyes. His hands hanging at his sides tightened and his brows were furrowed.
Something is not right...
Si Lijue turned his head to look at Qin Ye and saw the same doubt in his eyes.
If there was a fireworks show, they should have told us in advance. If anything went wrong, Hongye Winery could not take the responsibility.
The two men looked at each other and nodded slightly. Si Lijue exchanged a few words with Pang Kunpeng, and then they were about to walk out with Qin Ye.
When I opened the door of the private room, I saw a group of men in black rushing past.
With the dim light of the emergency light, Si Lijue saw that they were holding guns, and his pupils suddenly narrowed.
Something happened!
"Baoer!"
"Ruoxi!"
The two men spoke in unison and hurriedly ran towards the main banquet hall with big strides.
However, as soon as they reached the stairs, they were grabbed by a tuxedoed, refined butler and his men. They said, "Sorry, the security system at Hongye Winery has been hacked. The situation is extremely dangerous. Please wait patiently for the lights to be restored and do not move around."
Mu Baoer and Shen Ruoxi were still downstairs. How could he possibly wait patiently without seeing with his own eyes that they were safe and sound?
Si Lijue's eyes were gloomy, and he said, "It's precisely because it's dangerous that I have to go down and find someone. Get out of the way!"
"I'm very sorry, please cooperate, we will recover as soon as possible." The butler did not give in at all, standing there like a strong pine tree.
The security guards behind him also had sharp eyes and serious expressions.
Suddenly, a layer of frost seemed to condense on Si Lijue's face.
Si Lijue clenched his fingers and was about to force his way in, but Qin Ye grabbed his wrist, gave him a look and shook his head, then turned to the housekeeper and said gently, "My wife and her friends are still in the banquet hall downstairs. I'm very worried about their safety. Don't worry, we're just going downstairs to look for someone and we won't wander around."
"Miss Mu and Madam Qin are in the cloakroom on the third floor. They are safe. Someone will bring them here later. Please be patient..."
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly came towards the butler through the layers of security guards and whispered in his ear.
The housekeeper's eyes changed slightly, and he looked troubled. He said carefully: "Miss Mu and Madam Qin... are missing."
"Missing?"
“Missing!”
The two people's faces changed drastically, and their eyes were filled with panic and fear.
“Get out of the way!”
Time was running out, so he didn't bother to reason with these people. He just started fighting and hurried downstairs.
Behind him, the housekeeper frowned and asked unhappily, "What's going on?"
“The female companion that Si Lijue brought was very alert and skilled. Our people were knocked unconscious by her as soon as they entered, and we don’t know where she went with Shen Ruoxi.”
"Isn't there any surveillance?"
"No."
This is the most mysterious place. There are surveillance cameras everywhere on the third floor, and there are no blind spots at all. But even so, two living people disappeared without anyone noticing!
"Butler Lin, we are now..."
"Check the lighting equipment and prepare to restore it."
After Lin Qing gave this order, he walked towards the private room where Si Lijue had just come out.
However, he did not enter the private room, but pressed a button on the wall.
The light blue waves spread out like ripples on water, and with a click, the walls retreated to both sides.
Lin Qing walked in, his eyes falling on the elegant figure sitting on the sofa in the center of the room. He blamed himself and said, "Sir, I have done my job poorly. Please punish me."
After a while, the man on the sofa raised his hand and raised his slender white index finger. Under the warm yellow light, it looked pale and transparent, yet beautiful.
Lin Qing kept silent, lowered his head and nodded slightly, very respectful.
In front of the man, there was a tablet with a surveillance video. In the darkness, Mu Baoer's agile movements were like those of a nimble cat or a cheetah, and her moves were lethal.
The man watched the video in front of him repeatedly, and suddenly raised his hand and clicked it. The picture stopped, and half of Mu Baoer's profile appeared on the screen. It was soft but also a bit sharp, which should not be underestimated.
The man stared at the face for a long moment, his red lips moving slightly as he asked, "Is there such a person in the R organization?"
The deep and magnetic voice makes people feel numb all over.
But at this moment, no one appreciated it, and it felt creepy.
Lin Qing shook his head: "No information yet."
The man pointed his slender fingers at Mu Baoer's face, zoomed in on the screen, and squinted his eyes slightly. "Lin, do you think her face looks familiar?"
Lin Qing nodded. "This woman looks very similar to the woman who broke into Qiu Ming Villa five years ago, but that woman... is indeed dead."
How could a woman who showed no signs of life at all still be standing in front of them alive five years later?
Therefore, Lin Qing just had doubts and did not say much.
The man's slender fingers tapped the table twice, making a crisp sound, and said, "Go and find out."
"Yes, sir."
Lin Qing responded and left.
Inside the room, the man stood up and walked to the window. He gazed deeply at the fireworks display outside. A glint flashed in his light blue eyes, and he curved his lips and murmured, "Someone who came back from the dead..."
…
The operation tonight was obviously well prepared. All the people who came were professionally trained mercenaries and were extremely difficult to deal with. Mu Baoer had to spend a lot of effort to get rid of them.
The fireworks display outside was still going on and had reached its peak. Everyone was enjoying it, unaware of any danger.
But Mu Baoer had no appreciation at all. All the communication and positioning equipment had failed. She had to find Si Lijue as soon as possible. The longer she waited, the more likely something might go wrong.
She remembered that Si Lijue left in the direction of the main banquet hall upstairs, so he was probably still there.
No, what if Si Lijue comes to the main banquet hall to find me?
Mu Baoer didn't know where her confidence came from, but she felt that the other party would definitely find it back.
So, he turned quickly and headed towards the main banquet hall on the first floor.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his hand from behind.
Mu Baoer's pupils narrowed and she subconsciously made an attacking move.
"It's me."
Si Lijue spoke in time, exerted force on his wrist, pulled the person into his arms, and hugged him tightly, wishing he could embed him into his bones.
