Li Xingchen's eyes lingered on the extra lipstick on the sink for a moment, then quickly withdrew his gaze, and left the bathroom with a normal expression.
After going back to inquire, the banquet had already begun, and Hu Shu, who was standing beside Yu Xiuyan just now, had already stood beside Patriarch Hu at some point.
Perhaps because of Hu Shu's absence, Yu Xiuyan was looking around boredly when he happened to see Li Xingchen walking from the side, and even smiled:
"Come back? So fast?"
"Why so slow? I thought you left me and sneaked out to play by yourself."
Before Li Xingchen could speak, Fu Tingshen, who turned his head when he heard Yu Xiuyan's voice, spoke first, and at the same time gave Yu Xiuyan a warning look.
That protective look almost made Yu Xiuyan fall on his back in anger.
"You deserve it, who told you that the stars are coming soon."
Gu Nanli, who was eating melons and watching a play, couldn't hold back at this moment, and stabbed a knife into Yu Xiuyan's body.
"I just said it casually..."
Yu Xiuyan muttered unconvinced, who would have thought that Fu Tingshen would be so narrow-minded and even care about such a thing?
However, Young Master Yu, who has learned to be smart, did not say the second half of the sentence directly.
"How can there be? I didn't delay at all. Just now Brother Yu was still saying that I was going soon."
Over there, Li Xingchen had already walked to Fu Tingshen's side and had a private conversation with him.
I don't know the reason, but this time Patriarch Hu held his birthday banquet extraordinarily grandly, and invited many guests at the same time.
As soon as there are too many people, there are naturally all kinds of people.
In terms of the quality of the guests alone, Patriarch Hu's birthday banquet cannot be compared with the last auction.
It is also because of this that the relationship between Fu Tingshen and Li Xingchen is not as close and unscrupulous as it was at the auction.
Just like now, although Li Xingchen is standing beside Fu Tingshen, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is no physical contact between the two of them.
"If I knew it was such a trouble, I shouldn't have listened to An Weiyang's nonsense."
Li Xingchen complained in a low voice after he wanted to steal some money from Fu Tingshen again, but had to stop because he noticed the scrutiny of others.
"If An Weiyang heard what you said, I'm afraid he would be pissed to death on the spot."
Fu Ting, who heard Li Xingchen's complaint clearly, smiled in a low voice.
Fu Tingshen probably heard about An Weiyang's words that fooled Li Xingchen back then.
Being able to cooperate with An Weiyang in this matter is only because from a certain point of view, Fu Tingshen and An Weiyang have more consistent ideas.
"I was so angry that I just changed a manager."
Li Xingchen muttered in a low voice, without any affection for An Weiyang, the manager, in his tone.
Just as Li Xingchen and Fu Tingshen were communicating in low voices, Hu Shu walked over from the side, and Patriarch Hu, who was still in the banquet hall just now, had disappeared at this time.
"Xiao Shu, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Xiuyan, who cared most about Hu Shu, was naturally the first to discover Hu Shu's abnormality.
Compared with usual, now Hu Shu is a little less energetic, like a frost-beaten eggplant, his whole body is wilted.
"Father just told me to let me get in touch with family affairs starting tomorrow."
Hu Shu raised his eyelids and looked at Yu Xiuyan, but he didn't hide anything.
"Isn't this normal?"
Hearing Hu Shu's answer, Yu Xiuyan was even more puzzled.
Families like them, after reaching a certain age, will more or less start to take over the things at home.
Just like the princes in ancient times, when they grow up to a certain age, they will start to get in touch with the government.
Only those who are excluded from the center of power will not have such opportunities.
According to Hu Shu's age and the situation of the Hu family, if it were any other family, Hu Shu might have already started to take full control of the Hu family's affairs.
"You do not understand."
Who knew that Hu Shu gave Yu Xiuyan these three words with a mournful face.
How could Yu Xiuyan, who wished to put the charming young master of the Hu family directly on the tip of his heart, see Hu Shu like this?
Quickly continue to ask questions.
After a while, Yu Xiuyan got the answer out of Hu Shu's mouth.
It turned out that the owner of the Hu family meant that Hu Shu would start learning and managing the Hu family's affairs directly by his side starting tomorrow.
In other words, the days when Young Master Hu was as carefree and free as he was in the past, I am afraid that they will never return.
Not to mention Hu Shu's fear of Patriarch Hu, just losing his freedom is enough to torture people.
"That is to say, starting tomorrow, we will not be able to see each other?"
Yu Xiuyan quickly extracted from Hu Shu's words what he was most concerned about.
"If the Yu family and the Hu family don't cooperate..."
Hu Shudang even gave Yu Xiuyan a positive look.
As for whether the Yu family and the Hu family have cooperated?
The answer is of course no.
After all, the Hu family has developed to the present, but it has gradually declined, and the industries involved in the Hu family are not irreplaceable.
In other words, if it is necessary to choose a partner, the Yu family can have more choices, and there is no need to go to the troubled waters of the Hu family.
Immediately, there was another eggplant beaten by the frost.
You don't need to guess, you can know that there is an extra eggplant, naturally it is Yu Xiuyan, the young master Yu who will not see his sweetheart soon.
While depressed, Yu Xiuyan even began to think about various possibilities of cooperating with the Hu family in his heart.
Yu Xiuyan, who was so focused on Hu Shu, didn't realize that Gu Nanli, who was still beside him just now, had disappeared from nowhere.
By the time Li Xingchen and the others found out that Gu Nanli was gone, it was already the end of the banquet and it was time for the guests to leave.
"Where's Brother Gu?"
Li Xingchen was the first to discover this problem.
"Nan Li? It seems that I haven't seen him for a while. Did you feel that the banquet was boring and went to rest elsewhere? Let me call first and ask."
Yu Xiuyan didn't take the matter of Gu Nanli's disappearance to heart, and guessed without thinking.
After all, he had done a lot of things like this before.
He took out his mobile phone and started dialing Gu Nanli's number.
Compared with Yu Xiuyan's indifference, Li Xingchen's heart was "thumping".
Yu Xiuyan didn't know, but Li Xingchen knew in his heart that Gu Nanli's visit to Hu's house today was not as simple as just attending a banquet.
Although Li Xingchen had Gu Nanli's guarantee before coming here, no one is sure whether Gu Nanli can really maintain his rationality and calmness all the time.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen faintly felt worried.
Such worries became more intense when Yu Xiuyan put down his phone.
because--
"I didn't get through, wait, I'll try again."
Yu Xiuyan still didn't notice anything wrong at this time, and started to dial Gu Nanli's number again.
Hearing this, Li Xingchen frowned immediately, and started to look for someone.
But as soon as his feet moved, his wrist was pulled by Fu Tingshen who was standing aside, and then Fu Tingshen's voice came from his ear:
"Don't worry, Nan Li won't do anything impulsive."
Fu Tingshen knew Gu Nanli better than Li Xingchen, and also knew Gu Nanli's temperament better.
Not to mention that the various connections between the Hu family and Xuanyinmen are just speculations, even if the ironclad evidence is put in front of Gu Nanli, Gu Nanli may be able to use the most calm posture to defeat the Hu family.
Fu Tingshen's words made Li Xingchen feel relieved a little.
Yu Xiuyan quickly replied, but no one answered the second call.
At this moment, even Yu Xiuyan sensed something was wrong.
But before Yu Xiuyan could respond, Li Xingchen's phone in his pocket vibrated first.
Originally, Li Xingchen thought it would be Gu Nanli's call, but after taking out the phone, he realized it was not.
On the screen of the mobile phone, the word "Yuanyuan" is displayed.
"Let me make another call." After seeing the caller ID on Li Xingchen's phone screen clearly, Yu Xiuyan dialed Gu Nanli's number again without thinking.
Looking at the caller ID, Li Xingchen suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.
"I'll take it first."
After giving Fu Tingshen a look, he walked to a corner and pressed the connect button.
As soon as the phone was connected, Yuan Yuan's voice came over:
"Xingchen, when will the banquet end?"
Hearing Yuan Yuan's question, Li Xingchen's ominous premonition grew stronger:
"The banquet is over, what happened?"
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, and then Yuan Yuan's slightly heavy voice came:
"Mo Yi can't get through to her phone."
"Can't get through?" Hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Li Xingchen frowned inward.
Gu Nanli's phone can't be reached, and now even Mo Yi's phone can't be reached?
"Well, since about half an hour ago, we have been unable to get through. We thought it was inconvenient, but..."
Yuan Yuan didn't say the following words, but Li Xingchen knew what Yuan Yuan wanted to say.
Before coming here, Li Xingchen already knew most of Mo Yi's plans.
Regardless of whether the Hu family has anything to do with Xuanyinmen or not, they will not do anything today.
If Li Xingchen can confirm that the Hu family is related to Xuanyinmen, then he will pass the information to Mo Yi, and Mo Yi will enter the Hu family to investigate.
It is best to be able to find evidence. If no evidence is found, evacuate within the specified time.
For safety's sake, Mo Yi had better evacuate half an hour before the end of the banquet.
But now Mo Yi not only failed to evacuate within the stipulated time, but even the phone began to fail.
What it represents is naturally self-evident.
"When was the last time she contacted you?"
Li Xingchen's eyes darkened, and he looked at the Hu family compound behind him.
Under the night, this historic building seemed to become more simple and heavy, and the building hidden in the darkness seemed to have begun to reveal its minions.
"Before the banquet."
Yuan Yuan quickly gave the answer.
If Mo Yi hadn't moved at all when it was time to evacuate, Yuan Yuan and the others might not have discovered that Mo Yi had lost contact.
Because of this, Yuan Yuan and the others couldn't even confirm the exact time when Mo Yi lost contact.
After going back to inquire, the banquet had already begun, and Hu Shu, who was standing beside Yu Xiuyan just now, had already stood beside Patriarch Hu at some point.
Perhaps because of Hu Shu's absence, Yu Xiuyan was looking around boredly when he happened to see Li Xingchen walking from the side, and even smiled:
