The crowd of onlookers let out a murmur of laughter.
"I've always thought this guy didn't look like he had an invitation, so he probably sneaked in."
"One is a young master from Yandu, and the other is a country boy. Isn't it obvious whose side he's on?"
"If this guy hadn't snuck in, I'd be doing a headstand to wash my hair later."
Manager Wang's face had already fallen, and he said bluntly: "Sir, I'll give you one last chance. If you still can't show me the invitation, I'll ask security to ask you to leave!"
He emphasized the word "please" so much that anyone could hear the hidden meaning.
Long Yi was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I really don't have an invitation."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!
"You're just pretending to be alone without an invitation. You're really wasting my feelings."
"That's right. It would be too easy for such a vain person to be kicked out directly. At least we should call the police."
Li Chao, who was standing by, had a look of sarcasm on his face, as if he had anticipated this outcome. He sneered, "I knew this poor kid had gotten in by sneaking in. He should have been kicked out long ago."
While fanning the flames, he stole glances at Gao Qihang's face. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to get close to him, then this meeting would be worthwhile. If he could just say a word, he would definitely rise to a high position in the Beijing Military Region.
Sure enough, Gao Qihang looked at Li Chao with appreciation.
Manager Wang's face changed. He hadn't expected this guy to admit publicly that he didn't have an invitation. But as the person in charge of the venue, if someone sneaked in, even if he failed to supervise them properly, if the higher-ups knew...
He didn't dare to think any further and asked sharply, "No invitation? Are you admitting that you snuck in?"
When Chen Li saw everyone criticizing Long Yi, he felt refreshed, and the haze that had accumulated in his heart last night was swept away.
Wang Chuqing's lips curled up in gloating. "How dare this guy come in without an invitation? This idiot is only going to shoot himself in the foot."
Only Wan Shuang and Wan Xue were so anxious that tears were about to come out. Regardless of the strange looks from everyone, they took Long Yi's arm and said worriedly: "Brother Yi, let us go out with you..."
"It's okay, I was only halfway through my sentence." Long Yi said slowly:
"Although I don't have an invitation, I was invited in. Manager Wang, if you don't believe me, you can check the records at the reception door."
"Hmph! You lie without even thinking." Manager Wang snorted coldly. The venue of this event was mainly for the military district's celebration banquet and the private auction held by Mr. Qi Siye.
This guy has no military background and is not familiar with anyone from the Qi family. He has perfectly avoided the two possible qualifications for being invited, yet he even dares to say shamelessly that he was invited in.
He said coldly, "Were you invited here to attend the celebration banquet or the auction held by Fourth Master Qi?"
After thinking for a moment, Long Yi said slowly: "It seems that both of them have been invited."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole venue erupted in laughter, as if everyone had heard some incredible joke.
"Are you kidding me?" Manager Wang asked angrily. The level of this venue was so high that it required a very high status to be invited by one party. This guy actually said shamelessly that he was invited by two parties at the same time.
The mockery on Gao Qihang's face became even stronger. Judging from the fact that this kid lied without thinking, he was not even qualified to be his opponent.
"Oh, since Mr. Long is of such a distinguished status, why don't you tell us who invited you?" He said sarcastically.
Long Yi's eyes were filled with indifference as he said, "Liao Jianying, the commander of the Beijing Military Region, invited me to attend the celebration banquet, and Qi Ke of the Qi family invited me to participate in the auction. Do you have any questions?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Manager Wang said angrily. "Miss Qi has lived in Yandu her entire life. She's only been in Beijing for two days. How could she possibly be friends with you? As for Commander Liao, that's even more impossible. How could the top leader in Beijing be friends with a young man like you?"
When he heard Long Yi say that he was invited, he was still hesitant. If it was true, he, as a manager, would have offended the powerful.
Who knew this guy couldn't even brag? Who would believe what he said?
The onlookers' ridicule has turned into verbal abuse.
"This guy boasts without limits. He even dares to use Miss Qi and Commander Liao as shields."
"The Wan sisters have such poor taste. How could they get so close to someone who tells lies all the time?"
At this moment, everyone looked at Long Yi with sarcasm and contempt in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to kick him out.
Facing the accusations of the crowd, Long Yi turned a deaf ear to them, looked at Wan Shuang and Wan Xue and said softly, "It doesn't matter to me whether they believe it or not. What about you?"
Wan Xue clenched her fists and said firmly, "Of course I trust Brother Yi, I'm just annoyed by these guys who are taking advantage of my misfortune."
Wan Shuang calmly took Long Yi's arm, and her meaning was obvious. Even if the entire upper class of the capital was against Long Yi, she would stand by Long Yi without hesitation.
Gao Qihang watched Wan Xue and Long Yi being intimate, and a surge of jealousy welled up in his heart. He shouted, "Xue'er, what kind of magic potion did this guy feed you? How could you believe such a clumsy lie?"
"Gao Qihang, you'd better give up on this idea. The more you target Brother Yi, the more I hate you." Wan Xue said bluntly, her face as cold as ice.
"Okay, okay!" Gao Qihang laughed in anger. This bitch is still stubborn and refuses to change her ways, so there is no need for him to show mercy to her anymore.
"Manager Wang, why are you still standing there? Get this lying thief out right now!"
"Okay, Colonel Gao, please wait a moment." Manager Wang agreed and took out his intercom. "Security department, have the first team come over quickly and throw this guy out."
After Gao Qihang's plan succeeded, his face was full of arrogance, and he said arrogantly: "Boy, whether in terms of martial arts or background, you are not on the same level as me.
I can throw you out like a dog with just a few words, what can you use to fight me? An ant like you is not worthy of touching Wan Xue! "
"Get out of here, you little thief!" The field was filled with overwhelming shouts and curses.
Amidst the insults, Long Yi simply lowered his head and tightly grasped Wan Shuang and Wan Xue's hands, his eyes calm.
In the eyes of others, he didn't know whether he was regretting or accepting his fate. In any case, he was no different from a defeated dog, and he was completely disgraceful.
Amidst the shouting and cursing, the elevator door slowly opened, and next came a tall woman in high heels, with a powerful aura like an international supermodel.
"Shut up! Who told Mr. Long to get out? If you say another word, I'll throw you out first!"
The person who came was Qi Ke. She was wearing an elegant and gorgeous black evening dress and ten-centimeter high heels, and her aura was fully open!
He glanced around, his eyes as sharp as knives!
