Fu Jingheng and Qin Sheng had just finished another dance and stepped off the dance floor when they saw Mo Tian in the corner.
Mo Tianchong nodded slightly.
Fu Jingheng raised an eyebrow slightly.
Instead of going over immediately, he first took Qin Sheng's hand and led her to the four Qin brothers. After greeting the four brothers-in-law, he made an excuse to leave.
"What's wrong?" In the corner, Fu Jingheng's gaze remained fixed on Qin Sheng, and he asked in a detached voice.
Mo Tian's gaze swept across the room, lingering for a couple more seconds on Xie Chao, who had already returned to Qin Wei's side, before he said, "Manager Fang just reported that Xie Chao contacted him."
Xie Chao...
Fu Jingheng's gaze deepened slightly as he glanced at Xie Chao and Qin Wei before asking, "What is it?"
Mo Tian moved a few steps closer to Fu Jingheng and whispered a few words.
Fu Jingheng's eyes flickered, and his expression turned even colder.
After thinking for a moment, he stepped towards the banquet hall door, saying as he walked, "Bring me my computer."
Mo Tian responded and left, returning quickly with a rather inconspicuous black computer.
Fu Jingheng had someone guard the area, and then sat down on a sofa in the nearby rest area.
A pair of delicate, jade-like hands tapped the keyboard at a leisurely pace, but less than a minute later, the computer screen flickered and switched to a completely different image.
The scene is at the corner near the banquet hall's restrooms. A glamorous woman dressed in gold is whispering to a man dressed as a waiter. After they leave, another man in a sharp suit walks out from the direction of the restrooms, takes out his phone, and makes a call.
Fu Jingheng finished reading quietly, his gaze as deep as the ocean.
After sitting quietly with his eyes slightly lowered for nearly a minute, Fu Jingheng gathered his thoughts and waved to Mo Tian.

The banquet was still going on.
This birthday banquet fully demonstrated the Qin family's extravagance as the most prestigious family in Ancheng.
Leaving aside Qin Zheng and Gu Yueming, who are their parents, the birthday gifts from the four Qin brothers were all incredibly valuable.
Real estate near Tiandu University, luxury cars worth tens of millions, priceless diamond jewelry, and even the youngest student, Qin Zhao, presented a pure gold lion cub as a gift.
The lion cub, about the size of an adult's head, probably weighs 20 to 30 kilograms and is worth at least tens of millions.
Of the three, Qin Muyuan was only familiar with this younger brother, Qin Zhihuai. Qin Shi'an had only met him a few times, and Qin Muyuan was seeing Qin Zhao for the first time.
Seeing this golden lion, which was almost bigger than his head, it glanced at him again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get so much money?"
Hmm, Qin Muyuan suspected that his parents were biased.
When he was Qin Zhao's age, his parents didn't give him a single penny of pocket money. If he wanted money, fine, he had to find a way to earn it himself.
All they promised was that he wouldn't starve; that was all.
Qin Muyuan will never forget the scene when he was young, when his classmates praised him and took him to an upscale club, but he was refused by his parents when he couldn't pay the bill and asked for their help. He lost face in front of his classmates.
I couldn't help but shed two lines of heartbreaking tears.
So she became even more jealous of her adopted younger brother.
Consider that he couldn't even afford a few tens of thousands of yuan to pay the bill, and had to secretly plead with his two younger brothers and sell his dignity to save face. But his younger brother, who was about the same age as him at the time, gave him a gift worth tens of millions of yuan.
The difference is just too big!
Qin Zhao understood Qin Muyuan's envy and jealousy, but didn't grasp the deeper meaning, and simply said honestly, "I earned it."
Qin Muyuan was struck dumb, and grabbed Qin Zhao's hand: "How did you break free?!"
Qin Zhao: "...helping classmates highlight key points, guessing questions, winning prize money from several competitions, live-streaming myself playing games, trading stocks, boxing..."
Qin Zhao was still listing his ways of making money when Qin Muyuan clutched his chest, looking pained, and said, "That's enough, that's enough, stop talking."
Qin Zhao: "I also helped my third brother hack into his computer a few times and helped my second brother make two plans."
Qin Muyuan felt like his heart was being pierced: "I said stop talking!"
Qin Zhao: "..."
He's the one who tells him to say it, and he's the one who tells him not to say it, so does he have to listen to him?
He has his pride too, you know.
Then she continued, "She also went to the lab a few times to help Grandpa, and played cards with Grandma and the other old ladies..."
Qin Muyuan's tears were almost falling.
Waaaaah.
So, when it comes to making money, is he the only good-for-nothing in the entire Qin family?
Is he the only one who only knows how to spend money and not how to make money?
Seeing his elder brother's pained expression, Qin Shi'an felt sorry for him and comforted him, "It's okay. If you could do a job that pays well, you wouldn't have joined the Dark Division and wouldn't have found your value."
Qin Muyuan: "..."
He was just a ruthless tool and henchman.
Qin Zhihuai: "At least he's quite skilled, so he's not entirely useless."
Qin Muyuan: "..."
Is this considered a compliment?
Let's assume that's true for now.
Qin Zhao's eyes lit up: "Big brother is very skilled! Shall we spar when we get home?"
Qin Muyuan glanced at him again: "Are you serious?"
Before Qin Zhao could speak, Qin Zhihuai and Qin Shi'an gave him a slightly strange look.
Qin Shi'an: "You should say, 'Don't take this too seriously.'"
Qin Muyuan: "?"
Qin Zhihuai's peach blossom eyes sparkled as he smiled, "Anyway, I've never hit Zhao'er."
Qin Muyuan: "..."
If you can't compete in writing, or in making money, you can't possibly be worse at fighting, which is your only strength, right?
Qin Muyuan was unconvinced and immediately said, "Fine, let's compete when we get back!"
Qin Zhao responded softly, "Okay."
Then Qin Muyuan received a sympathetic glance from his younger sister.
Qin Muyuan: ...No, what do you mean by one or two of these?
So, he, as the eldest brother, has no authority whatsoever?
Do you even know what it means for an elder brother to be like a father?!
The younger siblings had already looked away, some eating desserts and others drinking beverages.
Qin Muyuan: "..."
Fu Jingheng had been gone for a while. Qin Sheng took a cup of milk tea from the waiter and glanced towards the door. Just then, a series of clattering sounds rang out.
Someone seemed to have fallen not far away. The people nearby were startled and immediately reached out to help, but unexpectedly, they not only failed to help the person up, but also fell down themselves.
Gu Yueming saw it, her brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she still walked over.
After all, it was a banquet hosted by the Qin family, and as the host, we still had to be mindful of things, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
But when Gu Yueming saw who had fallen, she regretted coming over.
His face darkened.
The person who fell was an old acquaintance of hers, Mrs. Ji.
Gu Yueming had a feeling that nothing good was coming from her the moment she saw her.
Most importantly...
"Mrs. Ji, what are you doing here?" Gu Yueming asked in a slightly cold voice.
