In the top-floor banquet hall of Licheng Zhen's Hotel.
Zhen Mozhao sat lazily on the single sofa, leaning against the back of the sofa, with his long legs stretched out and crossed. There were only three people within two meters of him, two of them sitting on the double sofa on Zhen Mozhao's right side, and the other one stood behind Zhen Mozhao to the right. The three people had completely different looks and temperaments, but they were all handsome. However, compared with Zhen Mozhao, they were still much inferior.
The man standing behind Zhen Mozhao had a solemn expression on his face, his almond-shaped eyes silently scanning the entire room, secretly observing every guest present.
Compared to his serious expression, the other two people on the sofa were much more relaxed. One of them raised his glass from time to time towards the guests who greeted him not far away, with a fake yet sincere smile always on his handsome face.
The person sitting next to him had a calm expression on his face, turning a deaf ear to everything around him, and only responded from time to time when the man next to him spoke.
Zhen Mozhao, sitting on the single sofa, blinked his peach blossom eyes and lazily scanned everyone at the banquet. He suppressed his inner discomfort at the glances that were cast at him from time to time, and kept a calm face.
I really want to...
I really want to dig out these people's eyes...
As Zhen Mozhao thought about this, the sadness in his eyes grew darker.
At this moment, in another corner of the banquet, Zhen Linye had one hand in his pocket, the other gripping a goblet, his knuckles white from exertion. Through the crowd, he pierced through the crowd, gazing directly at Zhen Mozhao with eagle eyes. He gritted his teeth, the rage he'd been holding in his chest for five whole years because of his inhumanity growing stronger than ever...
However, he knew that he couldn't touch this bastard at the moment, as he still needed Zhen Mozhao to create greater value for the Zhen family...
Suddenly, Zhen Mozhao felt a strong yet harmless gaze. He followed it but saw nothing. When he turned around, he saw Zhen Linye staring at him with a dark expression...
Suppressing the nausea rising in his throat, Zhen Mozhao curled up the corners of his lips into a faint smile, his expression tinged with coldness. He looked back at Zhen Linye, narrowed his eyes slightly, and silently warned Zhen Linye.
If you don't want these eyes anymore, I can gouge them out right now...
Zhen Linye, who successfully received the expression in Zhen Mozhao's eyes, stiffened his back and hurriedly looked away. After a few seconds, he looked at Zhen Mozhao again, but this time he was no longer unscrupulous.
"I didn't expect to see President Mo today. Doesn't President Mo never attend banquets like this?"
There was a faint sound of discussion in the banquet.
"Don't you know? I heard that today's banquet was held for a big shot from the imperial capital, and it was said that the other party specifically asked President Mo to be the one to meet him."
"Yes, yes, yes. I also heard that this big shot brought a multi-billion dollar project with him, which is why President Mo honored him with such an honor."
"No, no, no, Mr. Mo is not short of billions. I heard that he only gave me the honor so that we can march into the imperial capital."
"Want to enter the Imperial Capital's business district? That's too difficult, right? Everyone knows about the Imperial Capital's business district. It's where the Baili and He families have absolute control. Over the years, so many people have tried to enter the Imperial Capital, but ended up being acquired or returning to their respective cities in disgrace to defend their family businesses."
"Could it be that the people coming to the imperial capital today are from the Baili family or the He family?"
"I don't know, but the party is almost over, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
"Could it be...", he stood up President Mo...
The man didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone present felt a chill on their backs.
Everyone knows that in recent years, I'd rather arrive a day and a night earlier than make President Mo wait even half a minute longer...
For a moment, all the guests at the banquet were wondering who this big shot from the imperial capital was, and at the same time, they were curious about what would happen when this big shot faced the eldest son of the Zhen family, Mr. Mo.
After all, no one who had offended President Mo in recent years had a good ending.
"Brother Zhao, it's almost over. I hope the guy in the capital isn't playing tricks on you." Zuo Linyu, who had just greeted and taken a sip of champagne, blinked his round deer eyes, pushed away Mu Shaojin who was sandwiched between them, walked up to Zhen Mozhao and asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Mozhao paused while shaking the glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. A shadow covered his exquisite and beautiful face. He then sat up straight, put down the glass in his hand, and looked at his watch. "There are still thirteen minutes left."
Mu Shaojin, who had just straightened his clothes, also looked at his watch. He put away his indifferent attitude and looked at Zhen Mozhao with a half-smile: "A Zhao, if you don't show up by the time, what are you going to do?"
"Say hello?" Although the tone was questioning, Zuo Linyu and Mu Shaojin both heard confirmation. In their hearts, they rubbed their hands in anticipation: It looks like there's going to be something fun again. Inexplicably, they hoped that this important figure wouldn't show up...
More than ten minutes passed in a flash. The three of them lowered their eyes to look at their watches, staring at the second hand to start the countdown: eight, seven... three, two, one!
The moment the second hand passed XII, Zhen Mozhao stood up with a cold face, said "I'm going to the bathroom" and walked towards the exit of the banquet hall.
Zuo Linyu and Mu Shaojin shrugged and looked at each other, excitement flashing in their eyes. The man who had been standing behind Zhen Mozhao followed him silently when Zhen Mozhao stood up and left. He didn't say a word from beginning to end. Only when he left, there was some excitement in the depths of his black eyes, just like Zuo Linyu and the others.
Zhen Mozhao, suppressing his anger of being teased, walked into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. However, when he still didn't hear the door closing after three seconds, he turned back in confusion and saw Ye Yang, who had been following him, leaning against a strange man and had obviously fainted.
A hint of surprise flashed across Zhen Mozhao's eyes. Ye Yang's skills were not such that he could be knocked unconscious without a sound. Even though he was furious, he never let down his guard. But suddenly five or six people appeared behind him, and he was completely unaware of it.
