Now that the upper and lower levels have come together, how could Mrs. Gu not understand?
Anger instantly rushed to the top of her head, and Mrs. Gu rushed back to the banquet hall without caring about anything.
"Ye Lan!"
At this moment, a dance song had just ended and the men and women on the dance floor slowly dispersed, so her angry shout could be heard clearly.
Everyone looked over and saw her aggressively approaching with her skirt lifted up. She pointed at the girl's nose and cursed, "You lowly bastard, how dare you harm my Shiqin? She's having a hard time now, and you won't have an easy time either!"
A woman's shrill voice pierced the air, ending the symphony behind the stage.
Ye Lan looked at the other person quietly without moving.
Xiao Yunting, who was standing beside her, had a cold expression on his face.
"Mrs. Gu, watch your words."
The cold and heavy voice carried an intimidating tone, like a bucket of ice water being poured over one's head.
Mrs. Gu's fingers curled up, but she couldn't bear to think of her daughter's plight. So she bit her lip and mustered her courage to continue speaking loudly, "Mr. Xiao, you can't rely on your Xiao family's power and influence to shield the murderer. This adopted daughter of yours, whose origins are unknown, framed my daughter and caused her to be bullied. My Gu family will never let this go!"
At this time, the news about what happened in the guest room lounge area also spread to the lobby. The wealthy people were all surprised and understood Mrs. Gu's feelings.
After all, every family has a precious jewel in the palm of their hand, and they are reluctant to touch her at ordinary times. But now she has been ruined by someone, and her future and marriage are ruined.
"Ye Lan, you are so cruel. You let my daughter encounter that kind of thing because you were jealous of her. She just argued with you for a few words, but you relied on your status as a member of the Xiao family to destroy her..."
Mrs. Gu became more and more excited as she spoke, and almost threw all the dirty water on the girl.
Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement after hearing this. Ye Lan was indeed the only one who could cause trouble on the Xiao family's territory.
Listening to the endless accusations, A Yue and others in the corner were extremely angry. Even Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to run forward to intervene, but was stopped by the Zhang couple.
"Don't be impulsive. Miss Ye is so powerful that she won't suffer an unjust accusation. Besides, Mr. Xiao is still here. Do you think they are worried?"
After being reminded by the two, A Yue and the others realized that Ye Lan and Xiao Yunting, who were standing in front of the stage, were still leisurely shaking their wine glasses, with a relaxed look on their faces, as if they didn't take Mrs. Gu, who was spitting across from them, seriously at all.
When the others were tired of cursing, Xiao's security personnel hurried in.
"Mr. Xiao, we have checked it out." The security captain came closer and originally wanted to talk to Xiao Yunting alone.
However, Xiao Yunting interrupted him halfway.
"Let's talk about it in person." He gestured to the guests below.
"Yes." The security captain paused for a second, then immediately turned around and raised his voice, "The guest room lounge was broken into at 8 o'clock tonight. We found out it was a waiter who led the way and opened the door. He has been apprehended and has confessed what happened. This was the work of the Gu family, and the man himself is also a contact of the Gu family."
What?
As soon as the captain finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.
"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Gu retorted, anxious and angry. "Now it's my daughter who's being bullied, and you're still slandering my Gu family. Mr. Xiao, don't go too far!"
The others also found it unlikely. After all, Gu Shiqin was an outstanding figure in the circle of socialites in the imperial capital. She was doted on in the Gu family and wanted to marry Xiao Yunting. How could she get involved with a playboy for no reason?
However, soon a young man in waiter's clothes was thrown in.
He was covered in blood, lying on the ground, unable to stand up. When he saw the security captain, he was so scared that his voice was shaking. "Stop hitting me... I'm telling you the truth. It was the Gu family who wanted to deal with Ye Lan and asked me to send Ye Lan to that room. I have another memory card in my pocket with money on it."
Upon hearing this, the security captain immediately searched the phone, took out the memory card, found the transfer record, and then found out the relationship between the remitter and the Gu family.
"Mr. Xiao, we found it. The remittance address is a shell company under the Gu family. It has been cancelled, but the satellite data can be recovered."
Xiao Yunting glanced at the screen, a cold light flashed across his eyes, "Well, let's organize the evidence."
"yes."
Everyone was shocked as they watched the security captain who came and went in just five minutes, and the waiter who was dragged away in a swift and decisive manner.
I had only heard that Xiao’s intelligence system was the best in the world, but today was the first time I saw it.
Mrs. Gu never expected that Xiao Yunting would act so quickly. Not only did he catch the waiter who had already left, he also found out the truth in the blink of an eye.
Now the evidence is irrefutable and there is no room for argument, which makes her previous aggressiveness seem ridiculous.
"Madam Gu, you are playing the trick of turning the tables on me. Should I admire your courage?" Xiao Yunting's expression was indifferent. He finally looked straight at the woman in front of him. The cold light in his eyes could penetrate people almost instantly.
Madam Gu took a step back in shock, but her domineering nature made her remain stubborn. "Who knows if you were forced to confess..."
She wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Xiao Yunting.
"It doesn't matter. Let's go to court and let the judge decide."
"You're going to take this to court?!" Madam Gu subconsciously raised her voice and pointed at Ye Lan with a glare. "Now my daughter has suffered a great loss and her reputation has been damaged, and you're actually going to go after our Gu family for a vicious little girl?"
This seemed absurd to her.
Xiao Yunting frowned and looked at her as if she were an idiot.
"You mean, I need Ye Lan to be successfully harmed by you today before I can file a lawsuit?"
"I..." Mrs. Gu was choked.
At this time, the security captain returned and quickly said to Xiao Yunting, "The waiter just said that he had delivered a bottle of problematic wine earlier, and now there is a glass missing."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunting's eyes shone. He suddenly turned back to look at the champagne in the girl's hand, and his tone was as cold as ice, "Give me the glass."
Um?
Ye Lan tilted his eyes slightly, looking a little confused, but he handed the cup over obediently.
The security captain took the cup, tested it with an instrument, and confirmed that it was indeed drugged.
At this point, Xiao Yunting's face was completely frozen.
"Mrs. Gu, you really opened my eyes today." His tone was as indifferent as ever, without even a trace of emotion in his voice, but any subordinate who was familiar with him would know it.
Xiao Yunting usually doesn't like to talk and rarely uses exaggerated adjectives.
Once used, it means that the other party is in big trouble.
So next, in full view of everyone, Xiao Yunting took out his cell phone and made a call with only one instruction.
"Target the Gu family's stocks."
It is daytime on the other side of the ocean now. The New York Stock Exchange has just opened. The newly listed Gujia Company is considered a hot stock, and the company's internal employees have bought a lot of it recently.
But when the market opened tonight, the people of Gu Group were ready to make another profit, but they found that something was wrong with the market.
Open high and close low.
The green indicator continued to decline at a thrilling speed every second until it hit the limit down.
