The king of the nightlife scene in the capital is said to have connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, and is quite famous in the capital's underground scene.
A hint of mockery flashed in his calm and composed gaze. The King of the Night?
Then let's kick him off the throne.

Gu Jueye's birthday banquet was held in the banquet hall of the Gu family's old mansion.
Night falls
Many people have been arriving at the Gu family home one after another.
Although it was just a family dinner, the family's social network was incredibly complex, and many outsiders wanted to curry favor with the Gu family.
Upon learning that Gu Jueye's birthday celebration would be held at the Gu family's old mansion this year, many celebrities tried every means to build connections with the Gu family and were desperate to get in.
So, what appeared to be a family birthday party turned out to have over a hundred attendees.
The two elderly people in the Gu family were especially happy today. On such a day, even if outsiders came in, it wouldn't be appropriate to turn them away in front of them.
"Seventh Brother hasn't returned yet?" Old Madam Gu asked a member of the Gu family standing at the door.
"I called the person who was supposed to pick up Seventh Master, and they said they were on their way."
"This boy, he's the star of the show today, how could he be late?" Old Madam Gu sighed.
"By the way, has Miss Bai arrived?"
"As you instructed, the person Young Master Jingyu personally went to pick up should arrive soon."
Upon hearing that Bai Qianmo was coming, Old Madam Gu finally smiled a little.

The incident at the school gate of No. 1 Middle School caused a lot of delay.
When Bai Qianmo, Qin Jingwen, and Gu Jingyu arrived at the Gu family's old residence, the banquet hall was already packed with people.
The three people stood at the door, not going in immediately.
Seeing the scene before her, Bai Qianmo frowned.
Wasn't tonight supposed to be a family gathering for the Gu family? Why are so many people here?
Qin Jingwen shared the same thought.
"Qianmo, I didn't expect so many people to come. Your school uniform..."
Bai Qianmo patted her backpack: "I brought clothes with me, is there a place to change here?"
Gu Jingyu thought for a moment, and then a brilliant idea struck him.
“Jingwen, Old Master Qin has arrived and is in my great-grandfather’s study. You should go there first. I’m quite familiar with the Gu family’s place. I’ll take Qianmo to change her clothes and then come over.”
Qin Jingwen looked at Bai Qianmo.
Bai Qianmo said, "Go ahead, I'll come find you later."
Qin Jingwen nodded and headed towards Old Master Gu's study.
Bai Qianmo then followed Gu Jingyu into the Gu family's main building through the back door and headed straight for the third floor.
Upon arriving at a room, Gu Jingyu pushed the door open and peeked inside.
Nobody's here, that's good!
"Go in, this is a guest room, no one usually comes in here. I'll wait for you at the bottom of the stairs."
Bai Qianmo, unsuspecting, picked up her backpack and went into the room.
After entering
Looking around, the black, white, and gray color scheme, the cold and minimalist style, how come this style is so similar to Gu Jueye's room?
Perhaps the entire Gu family likes this style?

stairwell
Gu Jingyu leaned against the window, glanced at the time, and was about to take out his phone to ask Bai Qianmo if she had changed yet.
Just as I took my phone out, a series of footsteps approached.
Gu Jingyu's heart skipped a beat; only... could get to the third floor.
Before the thought had even formed, a familiar, handsome figure slowly approached.
Seeing Gu Jingyu standing at the top of the stairs, Gu Jueye's eyes remained unchanged, and he merely glanced at him indifferently.
Why didn't you go to the banquet hall?
"I... came here to get some fresh air."
Why am I so unlucky?
Uncle Qi is supposed to be the star of the banquet today, so why is he on the third floor at this hour?
Gu Jueye grunted in agreement, asked no further questions, and strode towards a certain room.
"Seventh...Seventh Uncle, today is your birthday banquet. Why aren't you in the banquet hall? What are you doing here?"
Gu Jueye turned around and glanced at Gu Jingyu indifferently: "Go back to my room to change your clothes, is there a problem?"
