"What's wrong with drinking a little? Why are you becoming so stingy?"
Qi Jing disagreed. He just wanted to taste it, not to steal it from him.
Gu Zhou lowered his eyes. He was not stingy at all. He was just afraid that Qi Jing's invisible seduction would make him lose control.
Gu Zhou put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I'm almost twenty years old. I'm young and full of passion. Is it appropriate for you to seduce me like this?"
Qi Jing didn't understand how drinking a sip of wine could be considered seduction. He pushed Gu Zhou's hand away and walked into the crowd. He wanted to join in the fun.
He had tasks to perform at the previous two banquets and didn't participate much, but this time he wanted to join in the fun.
Gu Zhou was also very perceptive. He put on his headphones immediately and gave a secret signal to Qi Yao who was looking over unintentionally. Qi Yao immediately took the signal and conveyed it to others.
The thing that's most in demand at a party is people, and as long as there are people, there's bound to be gossip. Today's party was mainly about announcing the Gu family's adoption of Gu Mo, so without much surprise, they were bound to hear gossip.
After Qi Yao went around, he found that all the items he wanted were put on, and even Qi Jun and Qi Shuo were not surprised.
Qi Jing found a good little corner and lay down. He scanned the area one by one and soon found the target.
Gu Zhou poked his waist and said, "Don't be happy alone, tell me something."
Qi Jing dodged for a moment, then looked at the main talisman on Gu Zhou's body. He knew that Gu Zhou was just looking for trouble, so he stretched out his hand and said, "You have to pay."
"Here." Gu Zhou took out a small box from his pocket and gave it to him. "How about using this as a payment?"
Qi Jing took it and opened it. Inside was a jade brooch with a white kitten, chubby and super cute.
Qi Jing liked it very much and nodded in agreement. Gu Zhou put his hand on him and listened to Qi Jing's excited voice.
"The man with the big belly had many concubines outside, hoping to have a son. His concubine gave birth to one, but it wasn't his. He was very distressed and wanted to take his concubine back, but his original wife didn't agree and made a scene at home. The most serious one was his daughter, the one who just talked to Du Huanhuan.
She's been secretly messing with her father's company, trying to get him out of the house. She's already secretly transferred a lot of his assets out, and she's even found out the illegitimate child isn't her father's biological child. She knows it, but she won't tell him. She's even goading her father into giving her more, planning to finally reveal the truth."
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows after hearing this. This was quite a lot of information. The most important thing was that the girl was patient and courageous, and she was also a ruthless character.
Gu Zhou hugged Qi Jing and searched for him in the crowd. He said, "It's Qin Qiuran from the Qin family. If we can really get the company, maybe we can cooperate with him."
Qi Jing didn't understand anything about the company or cooperation, he just continued looking for his target, and his eyes fixed on a tall man.
Gu Zhou looked over and explained to Qi Jing, "Jiang Mushen is an orphan. He started out as a gangster very early. He's done everything. He's ruthless, but has a good reputation. He's never been involved in those things and has helped the police solve several cases. He was forced to make a living, so he cleaned up his name in the past two years. He wants to come to Beijing to develop his career. I heard he's looking for someone."
"Look for his sister." Qi Jing tilted his head, "He looks a bit like Duoduo."
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Is it such a coincidence?"
"It seems like he should be, but he's in a bit of trouble right now." Qi Jing frowned and pointed at Jiang Mushen and said, "He's keeping someone, the kind that's locked up at home."
Gu Zhou nearly spit out the red wine he had drunk and coughed several times before calming down. "So he is the Canary?"
"I don't know. Anyway, he has one. His little bird is going to be taken away tonight."
Gu Zhou frowned and looked over, "Capture?"
"Yeah, someone wanted to get back at him, so they took his little bird away."
"Should we talk, then?"
Qi Jing thought for a moment and asked Gu Zhou, "Will he give me money if I tell him?"
"He's quite rich."
"Then tell me."
Gu Zhou nodded and pulled Qi Jing towards Jiang Mushen.
Jiang Mushen knew Gu Zhou, not that he had met him before, but he had recognized him before coming here. Jiang Mushen was a little surprised to see that Gu Zhou was obviously coming for him.
He extended his hand and introduced himself, "Jiang Mushen."
Gu Zhou shook hands back, "Gu Zhou, this is my fiancé Qi Jing."
There was no change on Jiang Mushen's face. He just nodded to Qi Jing as a greeting.
Qi Jing blurted out, "Your little bird is going to be taken away."
Gu Zhou was speechless. He held Qi Jing's shoulders and pulled him back. Facing Jiang Mushen's unhappy expression, he said, "My little uncle is the second master's apprentice and can tell fortunes. You'd better go back and take a look. I'm not kidding you."
When Jiang Mushen heard Qi Jun's name, his expression eased a little. He said sorry and walked aside to make a phone call.
After Jiang Mushen left, Gu Zhou turned back and held Qi Jing's face, "Uncle, can you be more tactful with your words?"
Fortunately, there were many people at the banquet and their identities were clear. If it were somewhere else, or if it was someone else who didn't know them, he believed Jiang Mushen would punch them.
Qi Jing didn't have such a meticulous mind, he blinked innocently, "Can't you just say it directly?"
"Sure! Just say whatever you want to say. It's no problem." Gu Zhou also felt that he was worrying too much. No one could bully Qi Jing, so let Qi Jing say whatever he wanted.
The other people who were listening to the opera were also speechless. It was a good thing that it was at a banquet. If people didn't know, they would have thought that Qi Jing was threatening Jiang Mushen.
However, Jiang Mushen's forces had just arrived in Beijing and they had many enemies. If it was really related to Qi Jing, they couldn't just sit back and watch.
Qi Shuo immediately exchanged glances with Qi Mo. Although he didn't say anything, Qi Shuo still understood what Qi Mo meant.
Today is a good day for Gu Mo. As his future partner, Qi Mo cannot leave, so he has to go.
Qi Shuo felt like a bit of a sucker, so he resigned himself to his fate and stood up and walked towards Gu Zhou. Jiang Mushen also came over after finishing his call.
With a serious expression, Jiang Mushen said directly, "Sorry, I have to leave now."
Gu Zhou naturally had no objection. He looked at Qi Shuo and asked, "What do you care?"
Qi Shuo didn't want to talk much, so he followed Jiang Mushen out of the banquet hall.
When they arrived at the door, Qi Shuo called the bodyguard over and asked him to go with Jiang Mushen.
Jiang Mushen looked at Qi Shuo meaningfully but did not refuse.
He had only recently arrived in Jing City and was indeed not familiar with the forces in Jing City. If something happened, he might not be able to find the person in the first time.
The Qi family is different. The Qi family has its roots in Beijing, and they are so powerful that they can cover the sky with one hand. If the Qi family helps me, it will be easy to solve the problem. I just owe them a favor, and they can afford it.
In the banquet hall, Gu Zhou put his arm around Qi Jing's shoulders and asked him, "Do you think this little bird was forced or did it voluntarily?"
"It should be voluntary. They have a good relationship. But there seems to be something wrong with that little bird. I can't see her, so I'm not sure."
"As long as we are not forced to do it, it's fine. Otherwise, we are committing a sin."
