“Hehe, thank you, Uncle Locklaring!” Maligeben said with a smile.
Locklaring nodded and turned away to register other guests, but thesewere not important figures. Locklaring was simply making a recordwithout putting much heart to it.
After all this, Locklaring returned backstage. At this time, Shu Yahad arrived. She was putting on makeup backstage, while Shu Ya’s agent,Xu Li, was in the process of dealing with the staff for a while.
“h.e.l.lo, Miss Shu Ya!” Locklaring politely walked to Shu Ya, but sinceShu Ya was getting makeup from the makeup artist and couldn’t shakehands with him, he respectfully bowed.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Locklaring.” Shu Ya nodded to Locklaring. “It will take about twenty minutes to get my hair ready.”
“Okay, then I am going to prepare here. After twenty minutes, the banquet officially begins,” Locklaring said.
…
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the private banquet organized byme, Locklaring. First of all, please welcome our special guest, apopular celebrity. Miss Shu Ya, come to the stage!” Locklaring elegantlymade a gesture of invitation, and the lights in the venue suddenlyfocused behind Locklaring. Shu Ya wore a white evening gown and walkedtowards Locklaring like an angel. There was a burst of applause andcheers in the room.
However, there were also people who were ill-intentioned. Looking atShu Ya, Savin Geese snorted and said impatiently, “The real person ismuch more beautiful than the poster. She is simply an elf fallen to themortal world. So beautiful!”
“Yes, if you can have a moment of ecstasy with her, it is even worthdying for!” Maligeben’s breathing also became a little rushed.
Of course, the wretched dialogue between the two men did not affectanything. The atmosphere in the venue was very warm and positive.
Yang Ming was sitting quietly in the corner, admiring Shu Ya. She was the first love of his childhood.
Before Shu Ya went to Macau, she left a gift for Yang Ming. However,because Yang Ming was anxious to go to Macau to find Shu Ya, he neveropened it. Later, he returned to Song Jiang from Macau. Due to the manyhappenings, Yang Ming put Shu Ya’s gift in his own home and had nottaken the time to go back. So even now, Yang Ming still didn’t know whatShu Ya had given him.
Now seeing Shu Ya, Yang Ming suddenly remembered the gift. It seemedthat after returning to China, he should go home. Even if it were notbecause of Shu Ya’s gift, he had to go back and see his parents.
Since he built his own business and bought a house outside, Yang Mingrarely returned to see his parents. Although the careers of his parentswere booming, these could not replace the joys of a family.
After Yang Ming decided to go back, he had to take some time to spendwith his parents. After all, his parents were not young. Yang Mingthought of many things when he was in high school as though it were alifetime ago.
After more than a year, Yang Ming felt that he really grew up. Therewas no longer the tenderness and hesitation of a year ago. Instead, itwas replaced with shrewdness and decisiveness.
It was true whether it was a relations.h.i.+p, or grat.i.tude and grudges.Yang Ming felt that if he returned to a year ago, he would definitelyconquer Zhao Ying on that moonlit night, instead of delaying and waitinguntil now with no result.
The same goes for w.a.n.g Zhitao. Never mind that he framed Yang Mingand almost put Yang Ming into prison. Just for what he did to ZhouJiajia, Yang Ming had enough reason to kill him.
However, the potential enemy had always made Yang Ming somewhatuneasy. What kind of person was the boss behind-the-scene? This personseemed to be familiar with Yang Ming, but the target did not seem to behim. He looked at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan next to him. The boss’ actions weredirected at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan several times, which made Yang Ming veryconfused.
After his own a.n.a.lysis and summary, the boss who targeted Yang Mingand the boss who targeted w.a.n.g Xiaoyan should be the same person. Inthis way, Yang Ming was even more confused. He did not know what theboss’ ultimate purpose was.
However, regardless of his ultimate purpose, Yang Ming would one daynot hesitate to kill him if Yang Ming was able to draw him out. However,Yang Ming thought so at the time. After a certain period, when YangMing really met the boss behind-the-scenes, what remained was only theshock.
Shu Ya gracefully walked to Locklaring and smiled at the peoplepresent. “h.e.l.lo, everyone. I am delighted to meet friends in a foreigncountry and wish everyone a happy evening.”
Although Shu Ya smiled and spoke graciously, Yang Ming saw a hint ofhelplessness and half-heartedness from her eyes. Yang Ming felt sorrowin his heart as he really wanted to rush up immediately, pull Shu Yaaway, and go home together.
However, Yang Ming’s reasoning was better than impulse. He also knewthat this was not a good thing for Shu Ya at present, and he would ruinShu Ya’s career.
In fact, a girl who has her own views is not willing to be adecoration at home for a lifetime. Yang Ming also understood this verywell. Therefore, he never interfered with their careers but allowed themto fight for achievements on their own. Therefore, there would be noregrets in life.
Shu Ya became a popular celebrity, completely because she loved tosing. She liked singing and wanted to bring her most beautiful music toeveryone. For this particular matter, Yang Ming had already felt it whenhe was in junior high school. Shu Ya was born entirely for the arts.She was a natural singer.
“Next up, please allow me to introduce some special guests at thevenue!” After introducing Shu Ya, Locklaring began to introduce theothers, “Please put your hands together and welcome our distinguishedguest, XY company president, and lieutenant governor’s son, Mr. SavinGeese!”
Savin Geese heard Locklaring calling his name and walked over veryhappily. He waved his hand to the guests present as he walked, but hisprimary purpose was to attract Shu Ya’s attention.
Many people present were cheering, especially the single ladies, whonaturally paid special attention to single n.o.bles like Savin Geese.However, Shu Ya always stood by the side with a faint smile and did notpay much attention to Savin Geese.
This made Savin Geese very depressed. He was secretly determined in his heart. I must get this little girl into the RV in a while and let her pay the price for despising me!
“Next, I want to introduce the son of the mayor of the city, Mr.Maligeben! Please welcome Mr. Maligeben up to the stage!” AfterLocklaring introduced Savin Geese, it was natural to turn to the city’sprince.
Being the second one getting introduced, Maligeben had not a bit of acomplaint. Savin Geese’s family was not only stronger than his own, butalso Savin Geese’s company was bigger than his own company.
From the fact that Locklaring did not introduce his company, it couldbe seen how small Maligeben’s company was, and speaking of it wouldonly bring shame.
However, being the mayor’s son was also enough to get attention.Maligeben was also very proud to walk to the side of Savin Geese,throwing a glance at Shu Ya.
Locklaring looked at Maligeben’s lecherous manner and sighed helplessly, but he found it inappropriate to say anything.
The banquet officially started. Although most of them were fans ofShu Ya, those who dared to be close to Shu Ya were only those who wereprivileged.
Savin Geese and Maligeben were the two most active ones.
“Miss Shu Ya, welcome to our place. As the host here, I would like toextend a warm welcome to you!” Savin Geese acted as though he was thelieutenant governor and spoke to Shu Ya boastfully.
Facing such a privileged child, Shu Ya was very disgusted. He had aproud face as though he were superior, which Shu Ya found very tedious.But she had to face it sometimes. After all, this was not Hong Kong, nother family’s territory.
Sometimes when she thought about it, her most successful concert heldwas in Song Jiang. There, no one dared to hara.s.s her. Most probably itwas the presence of Yang Ming as the “underworld boss” that caused thesituation.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Savin Geese!” Shu Ya greeted politely to Savin Geese.
“Miss Shu Ya, are you willing to dance with me?” Savin Geese didn’t say a word or two, revealing his original lecherous face.
Shu Ya suddenly frowned. Seeing Savin Geese’s appearance, she knewthat he was not simply dancing when he asked her to dance. He definitelywanted to take advantage of her, so why would Shu Ya give him thisopportunity?
“I’m sorry, Mr. Savin Geese. I have just arrived in Europe for twodays. I am not good with the time difference, and I feel very sore allover my body. I can’t simply walk around.” Shu Ya smiled a little andsaid apologetically.
Savin Geese listened to Shu Ya’s words and suddenly felt that he losthis face. Never mind in the city, even in the whole state, there werevery few people who didn’t give face to him. So after Savin Geese wasrejected, his face suddenly became a bit ugly. But because it was apublic occasion and Locklaring’s territory, Savin Geese didn’t get angryon the spot.
However, Savin Geese didn’t get angry, but Maligeben was unwilling.The prince was a real local boss. Seeing that Shu Ya didn’t give face,he was not happy. “Miss Shu Ya, have you thought it through? This placeis not Hong Kong. You don’t even give face to Savin Geese?”
This was already a blatant threat. When Shu Ya heard it, her facialexpression changed. Indeed, once she offended these people here, hercareer would become difficult. However, to put herself down andsacrifice herself to please these people for her career, Shu Ya wouldnever do it.
Seeing that Shu Ya did not compromise, but stayed at a stalemate withMaligeben, Savin Geese quickly mediated. He was afraid of affecting hispublic image, so he signaled Maligeben with his eyes and said, “Forgetit. Since Miss Shu Ya doesn’t give us face, then let’s not bother her!”
When Maligeben saw Savin Geese say such words, he could only snortand shut his mouth resentfully. He turned around and left with SavinGeese.
“Savin Geese, why didn’t you just ask me to vent your anger for you?In my dad’s territory, who do we need to be afraid of?” Maligeben saiddisdainfully.
“Indeed, we are not afraid of anything, but after all, it is a publicoccasion. We must also pay attention to our image. Otherwise, oncesomeone grabbed ahold of our shortcomings, it will be hard to handle!”said Savin Geese, “As for when we get Shu Ya, this little chick, in theRV in a while, isn’t that the time when we do what we please? We get todo what we want!”
“Then, would she report us afterward?” Although Maligeben was notafraid of anything, he was not a brainless person. After all, Shu Ya wasan international celebrity, not an ordinary person.
“Report us? What nonsense!” Savin Geese said disdainfully, “What isShu Ya’s ident.i.ty? International celebrity, pure and innocent girl. Oncethis issue gets bigger, it will only affect her career. Would she dareto say it openly?”
“That’s right!” Maligeben nodded after listening, and said, “Lateron, when we get her in the vehicle, we will f*ck her to death. She darednot to give you face. We will let her know what the consequences are.”
“Hehe, that’s for sure!” Savin Geese nodded very sultrily. “Is everything ready?”
“What?” Maligeben was stunned.
“Sedatives, stupid!” Savin Geese glanced at Maligeben and asked himto speak softly, “Don’t be so loud. Do you want to let others hear it?”
“Sorry, haha. The sedatives are ready, of course. It is in my pocket. Just inform me when to slip the drug!” said Maligeben.
“En, be mindful of my eye signals later on,” said Savin Geese.
The behavior of the two men who went to hara.s.s Shu Ya had naturallyfallen into Yang Ming’s eyes. Yang Ming quietly looked at what the twohad done. If they showed slight disrespect, Yang Ming would definitelymake a move.
Fortunately, the two left after just saying two sentences, so Yang Ming did not make a move.
“Why are these two people so bothersome?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan also sawMaligeben and Savin Geese hara.s.sing Shu Ya and was disgusted. “YangMing, would you like me to find a chance to a.s.sa.s.sinate them?”
Yang Ming heard w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s words and broke into a cold sweat allof a sudden. She was still an a.s.sa.s.sin, after all. Little Girl w.a.n.g’scharacter was formidable. Fortunately, Yang Ming was better off than herin martial arts. Otherwise, Yang Ming would be the victim of herdagger.
“You don’t have to. Let us wait and see.” Yang Ming shook his headand smiled at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan. “Don’t always start with a.s.sa.s.sinatingothers. Although it doesn’t matter if these two people died, for a girlto always put beating up people and killing people in her words, it isnot so good.”
“Oh, then I won’t say it in the future. When I see someonenot pleasing to the eye, I will just kill the person directly.” w.a.n.gXiaoyan deliberately pretended not to understand Yang Ming’s words.
Yang Ming did not know if he should laugh or cry, but he was helpless with w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.
Old Buffon who also heard it at the side, and broke into a sweat. He thought, Sheis really the master’s wife, so extraordinary. She is so slick to killsomeone as though she is killing an ant, but that also proves that shehas such strength. Those who don’t have such strength have to worryabout getting killed before being able to kill others.
Old Buffon didn’t think about the consequences of w.a.n.g Xiaoyankilling Maligeben and Savin Geese. In his position, there was no need toconsider these things. No matter how serious the issue was, as long asit happened in Europe, Old Buffon’s family would have their ways tosolve it.
It didn’t take long for the banquet to begin. The exquisite disheswere brought up by the well-dressed chefs, and the waiters started toshuttle through the entire banquet venue.
“Sir, madam, what do you want to drink?” A waitress approached Yang Ming and the others as she asked courteously.
“Fruit juice, please,” Yang Ming said casually. He came here, just wanting to see Shu Ya, not to drink.
“Alright sir, please wait a moment.” After the waitress finished, she went to prepare.
At this time, Maligeben and Savin Geese came to Shu Ya again with one of them holding a wine gla.s.s.
“Miss Shu Ya, it was my bad just now. I’m here to toast to you.Please forgive me for my rudeness!” Maligeben came to Shu Ya and spokevery politely, changing the ugly face from before.
Shu Ya was stunned. She did not expect that Maligeben’s att.i.tudewould come to such a considerable change. She looked at Maligeben insurprise. “I am sorry. I don’t drink alcohol. Can I use juice instead?”
Looking at the wine gla.s.s raised by Maligeben, Shu Ya spoke.
“Let’s go with red wine. Red wine is almost the same as juice,” saidSavin Geese. Of course, he wouldn’t let Shu Ya drink the juice, becausehe had already slipped the drug in the red wine. If Shu Ya drank thejuice, wouldn’t his efforts be in vain?
As he spoke, he didn’t give a chance for Shu Ya to refuse as hepicked up an empty cup next to Shu Ya and personally handed over a gla.s.sof red wine to her. He said, “Miss Shu Ya, we sincerely apologize toyou!”
“Then… okay!” Shu Ya had no choice but to accept that gla.s.s of wine.After all, red wine had a low concentration of alcohol. She could stillaccept it.
“Well, Miss Shu Ya is really a forthright person, then I will toastfirst!” Maligeben drank the wine in one gulp and said, “You orientalslike to drink in one gulp!”
Since it came to this point, Shu Ya couldn’t help but drink. She had to pick up the gla.s.s and drink the red wine in the gla.s.s.
“Good!” Maligeben immediately exclaimed with excitement. Of course,most of it stemmed from the reason that Shu Ya drank the sedative.
Yang Ming’s eyes never left Shu Ya. It was natural to note thatMaligeben and Savin Geese appeared again in front of Shu Ya, but he sawthat both of them were well-behaved, and he didn’t care much. How couldhe know these two were conspiring?
After Shu Ya finished drinking, she saw that Savin Geese andMaligeben still did not leave, so she asked, baffled, “Is there anythingelse?”
Maligeben and Savin Geese were waiting for the drug to go intoeffect. How would they be willing to leave Shu Ya alone? If Shu Yafainted in the hall and were taken to the hospital by others first, theywould have no chance.
