Chapter 274 Seeing an Old Friend Again

But even after searching for a whole circle, there was no sign of that person.

Meng Zhiyi was a little disappointed, but finally, after Shen Que's persuasion, she temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing the search.

When we returned to the restaurant, the boss had already placed all the dishes on the table.

But at this time Meng Zhiyi felt a little bit bored, and kept thinking about the person just now.

"By the way, boss, you opened a shop here, have you noticed if there is a disabled person nearby?" Meng Zhiyi raised his head and asked the boss in the kitchen.

The boss who was cutting vegetables paused for a moment, then looked up and said with a smile, "Little girl, Talia has been through war for many years, and many people have been injured in the war. The streets are full of disabled people."

Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi realized that his question was a bit unnecessary.

After dinner, Shen Que took her for a walk.

As soon as the two people walked out of the restaurant, the boss raised his head and looked at their backs meaningfully.

*

Three days later, the banquet was held as scheduled.

Shen Que, the boss behind the southern black market, was also on the invitation list, and Meng Zhiyi accompanied him as his female companion.

In the car, Meng Zhiyi held the black gold invitation card, looked at the name written on it, and tilted his head slightly.

"Shen? Is this the name you use when you're out there?"

Shen Que glanced sideways, his gaze shifted from the phone to her, and he hummed softly.

Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi looked up and saw that Shen Que was wearing a half black mask: "Is the mask on his face also a symbol?"

It looks weird, Meng Zhiyi isn't used to it.

Shen Que raised his lips and said calmly, "Trading in the southern black market is more dangerous. It's not safe to show your true face."

"That's true."

As soon as Meng Zhiyi finished speaking, Shen Que took out a rhinestone-encrusted half-face fox-eye mask from somewhere and handed it to her.

"For me?"

"Well, I met Lian Mubai on the cruise ship last time. If he finds out you're at the party, it will affect his actions."

Meng Zhiyi took the mask and looked at it. It looked pretty good.

"For this banquet, Wang Xiao has arranged for half of his people to blend in with the security. When you get there later, you can pay attention. Those with white earphones are our people."

"Of course, we can't guarantee that they are all real, so if you encounter them during operations, you can confirm their identities first."

"Okay." Meng Zhiyi was playing with the mask in his hand, and he was already getting impatient.

Soon, the two arrived at the banquet venue.

This place is located in the downtown area of ​​Mokoka. The entrance is an inconspicuous basement, but inside it is magnificent and full of music.

Hundreds of wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from all over the world gathered here. They gathered in groups of three or two, drinking and chatting. This is not a scene that should be seen in a country at war.

Meng Zhiyi held Shen Que's hand, and both of them wore the same mask. Their outstanding postures immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

"The banquet hasn't started yet, let's find a place to sit first." Shen Que ignored the inquiring glances and took Meng Zhiyi to an empty sofa and sat down.

Behind them, Wang Xiao and several bodyguards who had mixed in were standing not far away, observing what was happening.

After the two sat down, the waiter came over with champagne, red wine and juice.

Shen Que got a glass of juice for Meng Zhiyi and a glass of champagne for himself.

After sitting down, Meng Zhiyi looked around curiously, especially the locations of the exits of the basement.

Shen Que casually crossed his long legs, with one hand on his knee and the other hand casually holding Meng Zhiyi's waist.

After Shen Que's narration, Meng Zhiyi learned the purpose of his visit.

The Jiang family had been involved in some activities of local terrorist organizations in Talia a few years ago, including trafficking in human beings and human organs.

From internal organs to blood, skin, and even bones after their death, they are all used as trading items for profit by these people.

The reason why this kind of news broke out that year was because the child of a wealthy businessman in the country was mistakenly captured by these gangs.

In order to rescue the child, the wealthy businessman has paid billions as requested by the other party.

But in the end, the children were divided into countless pieces and sold all over the world.

In anger, the wealthy businessman spent endless efforts to finally find the Jiang family that was related to these gangs, and exposed many high-value accounts within the Jiang family that could not provide evidence of the correct channel source.

It was precisely because of this incident that the Jiang family, in order to protect themselves, took advantage of the long-standing friendship between the Jiang and Shen families and dragged the Shen family into the water.

The long-standing friendship between the two families came to an end.

If it weren't for Old Madam Shen's efforts to save the situation, the Shen family would have probably fallen at that time.

Moreover, it was not only the Shen family in China that was affected at that time. Even Shen Que's parents, who had been on a mission in Talia, were also suspected and investigated.

Shen Que was unable to continue his studies in the country and was urgently sent abroad.

In order to give him enough ability to protect himself, Shen Que's parents used their personal connections to send him to the military camp for training.

At that time, everyone thought that the Shen family was finished, and Shen Que thought so too.

That's why he secretly went to Talia without telling anyone, got to know Leo, and secretly established his own power.

Later, the Shen family survived the crisis. Shen Que got to know Meng Zhiyi, who had come here to hunt down Lian Mubai, and he almost died in the explosion while chasing after her.

After returning to China, Shen Que has been investigating what happened back then, determined to make the Jiang family pay the price.

"What about Jiang Yubai?" Meng Zhiyi asked without hesitation.

Shen Que glanced at her and said in a cold tone, "Baby, are you still thinking about him?"

"..." Meng Zhiyi curled her lips: "I'm not familiar with him, but you are."

Shen Que remained silent. He squeezed her waist unhappily and said, "Our friendship as childhood friends ended when he secretly put the document in Shen's house."

Speaking of this, Shen Que's eyes darkened.

After the incident happened that year, Jiang Yubai actually tried to seek his forgiveness in that way.

It was the thing he was most reluctant to mention in his life.

Not only is it funny, it's also sad.

"But after a few encounters, I always feel that he is not really a bad guy. Didn't you say that he reminded you to beware of Lian Mubai last time on the cruise ship?"

Shen Que said indifferently: "Whether he is a bad guy or not is not important. He was born in the Jiang family. He can either give up everything and kill his relatives, or pretend to be deaf and dumb and continue to be his young master Jiang."

Meng Zhiyi curled her lips, but she understood what Shen Que said.

After all, being in such a situation, with wealth and glory on one side and family members and flesh and blood on the other, it is very difficult to make a choice.

As they were talking, the people at the banquet suddenly became quiet.

The two looked up and saw Jiang Huailong walking out from one of the entrances, carrying a gorgeously dressed woman. Jiang Yubai and several bodyguards followed behind them.

They slowly approached amidst the crowd, and only when they stood under the bright lights could Meng Zhiyi clearly see the woman held by Jiang Huailong.

She raised her eyebrows, a little surprised: "Song Wei?"
