The Shen family booked a high-end hotel in the city center, where Shen Yuhuai's birthday banquet was held. As the second son of the Shen family, Shen Yuhuai rarely appeared in the social circle of S City. This time, the news of the Shen family hosting a banquet came out, and people who were close to the Shen family attended the banquet.

    The parking lot of the high-end hotel is crowded with vehicles, and the guests are guided by the waiter to enter the venue. Chen Qizhao was sitting by the window, and out of the corner of his eyes, he swept across the various lines of vehicles passing by the door. After listening to the discussion between Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming in the car, he learned that the Lin family was also on the Shen family's invitation list. Countless pairs of eyes stared at S City, the Lin family was of a high status, and the Shen family was invited. Not only that, the Chen family had to maintain a superficial peace with the Lin family at this banquet.

    The vehicle moved forward slowly, Chen Shiming's eyes glanced at Chen Qizhao by the window.

    Soon, the waiter knocked on the driver's window, the Chen family arrived at the banquet scene at 6:30 pm, and the driver followed the waiter to park.

    The Chen family got off the bus, and a waiter came to guide the way.

    There are no other vehicles parked in front of the hotel. There is a guide standing in front of the magnificent gate. When Chen Shiming and others signed the signature, Chen Qizhao suddenly caught a glimpse of a black car across the fountain, and his eyes stopped instantly down. He took a few steps back and saw the model of the car more clearly, his eyes sank directly.

    After Chen Shiming signed, he noticed that Chen Qizhao was still standing outside the gate of the hotel, and said, "Qizhao."

    Chen Qizhao came back to his senses and went to the front to sign. After signing, he asked the waiter, "How many layers did you pack tonight?"

    The waiter immediately replied: "Mr. Shen has already wrapped up the 6-8 third floors of the hotel, the banquet hall is on the 6th floor, and the 7-8th floor is a place to rest."

    Chen Qizhao handed him the pen, "Thank you."

    The banquet hall is on the 6th floor. After Chen Qizhao followed the Chen family to the 6th floor, he saw the layout of the entire banquet hall, including the people who came to the banquet. Many people came to Shen Yuhuai's birthday party. Chen Qizhao knew who were coming by scanning around. When he looked around, he saw Lin Shizhong and his son Lin Xuyan. The two were standing in the crowd holding champagne, their faces hanging on their faces. The fake face of socializing.

    Chen Qizhao looked away and saw Shen Yuhuai in the distance talking to someone.

    He didn't go directly, but lowered his head a message.

    Shen Yuhuai finished toasting with people, said to Shen Xuelan beside him, and walked towards Chen Qizhao.

    When Chen Qizhao looked up after sending the message, he saw Shen Yuhuai standing in front of him.

    The man wore a black suit today, his hair was combed up, and he matched with those silver-framed glasses. He was a bit more mature than usual.

     

    "Who are you messaging?" Shen Yuhuai looked at him.

    "Xiao Zhou, there is something for him to do." Chen Qizhao recovered, "Happy birthday."

     

    "Yes," said the waiter.

    Chen Qizhao saw this and said, "If you have something to do, go there first."

    Shen Yuhuai took a glass of orange juice from the waiter next to him and handed it to Chen Qizhao, "I'm a little busy today, so I might not be able to take care of you."

    Chen Qizhao took the orange juice and paused slightly, his eyes fell on the champagne glass in Shen Yuhuai's hand, "It's okay."

    Shen Yuhuai, the protagonist of the birthday party, was inevitably busy. And with so many people coming, it was obvious that Uncle Shen was paving the way for Shen Yuhuai's development in City S. Chen Qizhao's eyes followed Shen Yuhuai, and saw that the other party followed the waiter and stopped at the back door of the banquet hall and did not go far. The waiter seemed to have something in his hand and gave it to Shen Yuhuai, which looked like a gift from a distance.

    Chen Shiming just came over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

    "No." Chen Qizhao asked, "Are the staff in this place prepared by the hotel?"

    Chen Shiming looked at him, "No, there are some people arranged by the Shen family, are you worried about security issues?"

    Chen Qizhao said: "Just ask."

    Chen Shiming explained: "Shen Xuelan told me that the people who deliver the wine in the banquet hall are the ones she arranged in advance, and it has nothing to do with the hotel."

    Chen Qizhao was thoughtful.

    On the other side, Shen Yuhuai followed the waiter to the door of the banquet hall, and the waiter handed him a gift box.

    This waiter is the one who registers the gifts of the guests.

    Shen Yuhuai looked at the gift box in front of him, looked at the waiter, and asked, "What did the person who came here say? What does it look like?"

    "Middle-aged man, wearing a hat, can't see his face clearly." The waiter continued: "I asked him to register his name, but the information he registered was very strange and repeated the information of one of our guests. already."

    Shen Yuhuai's eyes sank slightly, the box in front of him is not big, and the things he picks up are also very light, it doesn't look like they have dangerous goods.

    The gift box is beautifully packaged and very light in weight, as if nothing was inside.

    Shen Yuhuai tore off the gift belt on the box, and after opening it, he found that there was only a puppet bear the size of an adult's palm.

    He frowned slightly, but when he picked up the puppet bear, the bear's head fell.

    The head and body of the puppet are separate.

    Shen Yuhuai's hand did not leave the scope of the gift box, he put the puppet bear's body back again, saw the bewildered waiter next to him, closed the lid of the gift box, "Go and tell the hotel's The person in charge, let him adjust the surveillance video in the hotel venue, and be careful not to make any noise about this matter."

    On the 16th floor of the hotel, Gu Shen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the city. After a while, someone knocked on the door and came in. The middle-aged man took off his hat and mask, stood beside Gu Shen and said, "Sir, the gift has been delivered. You should be able to notice it when the Shen family takes stock later."

    The birthday banquet was still being held downstairs in the hotel. In the quiet room, Gu Shen's eyes swept to the information on the table. , This person's activity trajectory in City B for a few days is true, and there is even a situation where he does not go out in the 'hotel' for several days.

    Shen Yuhuai's affairs in B University have long been done, and what he is doing at other times is self-evident.

    Gu Shen had no patience for Shen Yuhuai when he thought of the strength of the Shen family in the jade necklace, and the fact that Gu Zhengxun borrowed the so-called loophole to expose it.

    The birthday party came quickly, and he didn't have time to arrange it in advance, but if he wanted to surprise Shen Yuhuai and the Shen family, he could still do it. Since it was Shen Yuhuai's birthday banquet, it had to be held in such a way that the Shen family would lose all face.

    "The person who arranged it has passed." The middle-aged man said.

    "Let him be careful not to be discovered."

    The middle-aged man asked again, "Do you want to tell President Lin about this?"

    Gu Shen shook the red wine glass: "No."

    The waiter brought the birthday cake and champagne tower, and the banquet continued.

    All attention was on the handsome man in suit and leather shoes.

    Chen Qizhao was staying in the banquet hall, and he was relieved when he saw Shen Yuhuai re-entering the banquet hall. His attention stayed on the other people in the arena, the people who talked to the Shen family, the people who talked to the Chen family...even the people who dealt with Lin Shizhong, he saw each and every one of them.

    After a while, he saw the Yan brothers coming in from the entrance of the banquet hall.

    Yan Kailin came directly to his side, "Brother Zhao!"

    Chen Qizhao and Yan Kailin were talking, and continued to observe the surroundings, "So late?"

    "There is a traffic jam on the road, hey, it's suffocating me these days." Yan Kailin saw the champagne in Chen Qizhao's hand, and asked, "Brother, how do you drink this?"

    Chen Qizhao paused, "Change your taste."

    "Oh, is the orange juice here delicious?" Yan Kailin also took a glass from the waiter next to him, "Did you send a gift?"

    Chen Qizhao's gift has not been delivered yet, while talking to Yan Kailin, his attention has shifted to the waiters in the venue. These are all staff arranged by the hotel. In fact, the waiters in the banquet hall can come. There are just a few people coming and going.

    During the observation time, Chen Qizhao saw the phone ringing, and he handed the orange juice in his hand to Yan Kailin, "Help me watch Brother Huai, if he leaves here, give me a call."

    Yan Kailin took the orange juice blankly, "Ah? Brother, where are you going?"

    "Toilet."

    When Chen Qizhao left the banquet hall, he answered the phone, "Is the car still there?"

    "In."

    Xiao Zhou stood breathlessly at the door of the hotel, looked at a black car at the door of the hotel from a distance, took the license plate according to the boss's instructions, and reported the license plate number again.

    Chen Qizhao listened to the license plate number reported by Xiao Zhou, and his heart sank.

    This license plate number he has seen before is the license plate number of the suspected black car in the photo of Lao Lin, which means that Gu Shen is in the hotel here. The Shen family only covered three floors of the hotel, and other rooms in the hotel were also populated by guests. The people in the banquet hall could check it out, and maybe the rest of the hotel could be.

    Xiao Zhou didn't know what the boss was calling him to come here at night. He rushed over as soon as he received the call. When he got there, he had to do as instructed. What are you doing?"

    "Have you brought your ID card?" Chen Qizhao asked.

    "Bring it." Xiao Zhou suddenly became nervous, "What do I need to do?"

    Chen Qizhao said: "Go to the front desk to open a room."

    Xiao Zhou: "?"

    After explaining Xiao Zhou's affairs, Chen Qizhao returned to the banquet hall. Yan Kailin was still holding two glasses of orange juice and stood bewildered. When he saw him coming over, he wanted to hand him the orange juice in his hand, but suddenly he noticed To his brother's line of sight to look elsewhere.

    "What's wrong with brother?" Yan Kailin said, "Brother Huai is over there."

    Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped at a strange waiter who entered the front door, "That person just came?"

    "I didn't notice, maybe?" Yan Kailin looked over there, "What's wrong?"

    Chen Shiming said that the waiters entering and leaving the banquet hall were all arranged by Shen Xuelan. In other words, the people in the banquet hall were actually fixed. After Chen Qizhao came in, he basically looked at all the people. He had never seen this person, which meant that this person was not in the list of personnel originally arranged by Shen Xuelan.

    The man only served a glass of wine.

    Chen Qizhao put down the orange juice and took a glass of champagne from the waiter next to him, "Wait for me here."

    The waiter who delivered the champagne stood in the banquet hall, his eyes fell on Shen Yu Huai in the distance, and the hand holding the tray tightened a little. He was about to pass the others and walked in the direction of Shen Yuhuai when he was suddenly touched by a force next to him. He was able to stabilize the champagne in the tray, and only spilled a little bit on the tray, but there was a sound next to him. grumble.

    "What did you do?" The young boy had a dark face, the champagne in his hand had overflowed a little and happened to be poured on his shoes.

    The waiter suddenly became nervous, "Sorry!"

    Chen Qizhao looked at him with a casual tone: "Why are you standing still? No tissue?"

    It was not easy to let go of the tray, so the waiter had to put things down and took out a tissue from his pocket.

    Chen Qizhao took the tissue from him, "Why do you slow down? Let's deal with it on the ground."

    When he saw someone bent over and was about to wipe off the champagne stains on the floor, he put down the champagne in his hand, quickly replaced the champagne on the tray, and did not forget to say a word or two: " Still have to deal with it, how do you get to the bathroom?"

    "Turn right after going out." The waiter quickly finished and stood up.

    Chen Qizhao ignored him, walked out with the glass of champagne, glanced at the waiter, and saw that the other party picked up the tray again and walked towards the Shen family.

    At this time, he suddenly heard Lin Xuyan's voice coming from a few steps away, as if calling for the waiter to bring him wine.

    Chen Qizhao raised his eyebrows slightly and shook the wine glass in his hand.

    Yan Kailin waited for a long time, chatting with a few acquaintances passing by, and when Chen Qizhao came back, he said, "Brother, why did you go for so long?"

    "I hit someone on the road and got my shoes wet."

    Chen Qizhao said casually: "The quality of that person is also poor, I don't know how to train in."

    "Juice is not interesting, do you want to drink?" Yan Kailin held two glasses of champagne in his hand, "Oh, by the way, Brother Huai has just been there, and I still see someone I brought him wine, can't you see that Brother Huai can drink so much?"

    "Can't he drink?" Chen Qizhao asked.

    "I heard what my brother said, saying that Brother Huai's alcohol capacity is average. My brother also called him out for a drink before. It is said that he only had one drink and then stopped drinking." Yan Kailin gossips He continued: "I thought he couldn't drink, does it feel okay?"

    In another corner of the banquet hall, Lin Xuyan took the wine from the waiter and continued talking to the guests at the banquet.

    The birthday banquet of the Shen family was actually a large social venue. Put labels on them one by one, some people are worthy of deep friendship, and some people don't care.

    After talking for a while, Lin Xuyan suddenly felt a little dizzy, and her hands and feet were also faintly hot.

    "Sorry." Lin Xuyan said something to the others, put down the wine glass and walked outside the banquet hall.

    Chen Qizhao stood and drank with Yan Kailin for a while, noticed the movement in the distance, and said, "Keep watching Brother Huai for me, I'll go to the bathroom."

    Yan Kailin said: "Brother, you are a little diligent in running the toilet tonight."

    And why does he have to look at Brother Huai every time! ?

    He was about to ask a few more questions, but Chen Qizhao had already left.

    "It's going too fast..."

    Yan Kailin took a sip of wine, and soon saw where Shen Yuhuai was, and found that he was no longer there, "Hey? Where's Brother Huai?"

    Outside the banquet hall, Lin Xuyan inquired about the location of the bathroom.

    Shortly after reaching the bathroom, he suddenly fell into the cubicle with a dizzy head.

    Chen Qizhao entered the bathroom a few steps behind, and saw Lin Xuyan who fell in the toilet cubicle.

    There was no one else in the bathroom, Chen Qizhao went to the tool room inside and took out the sign of the staff cleaning, and placed it at the door of the bathroom. He looked at the unconscious Lin Xuyan, picked up the phone and was about to call someone, when he suddenly saw a message that Yan Kailin had sent him a minute ago.

    Chen Qizhao stopped for a while, and the phone rang suddenly.

    "Boss, you asked me to stay on the 5th floor to pay attention to the situation. I saw Mr. Shen." Xiao Zhou was asked by Chen Qizhao to open a room on the 5th floor, and he has been here Look at the situation.

     

    Chen Qizhao walked out, "Where are the people?"

    "The waiter came out soon after putting the person in the room."

    Xiao Zhou said: "I just walked over to see, the door was not closed, leaving a gap."

    "Is there anyone else inside?" Chen Qizhao asked.

    Xiao Zhou felt that he was being a thief, so he lowered his voice and said, "I don't think so, I think that person swiped the room card and sent Mr. Shen in and left, as if the room card was not pulled... This is Is there a problem?"

    The excitement in the banquet hall continued, Shen Yuhuai noticed the departure of the waiter at the door and opened his eyes in the darkness.

    Today's birthday banquet was arranged at home. The day before, he had obtained the list of the staff in the venue, the strange birthday present that he opened in advance, and a stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him to bring wine Waiter, so when the other party brought the wine over, Shen Yuhuai didn't drink it.

    I will bring wine, most of which are mixed with something.

    Referring to the way the other party warned Yan Kaiqi before, most of them will also use some extreme means to teach him a lesson. The birthday gift is before, I am afraid that the glass of wine is the real birthday gift, so when the time is about the same, When he pretended to be out of alcohol and left the venue, the waiter who brought him the wine came out of the corridor outside the banquet hall, questioned him in a normal tone, and offered to send him to the rest room.

    Just the right time and arrangement, but the rest room is not the room arranged by the Shen family, but on the 5th floor below the banquet hall.

    The other party put him in the pre-opened room and left, Shen Yuhuai didn't know how the other party got in in the layers of security, but judging from the current behavior, the other party will be the host of the birthday banquet He sent him to this place, and there are a group of guests upstairs. With such a coincidental time and arrangement, it is obvious that there are other tricks.

    Shen Yuhuai was thinking about it when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. He paid attention to the movement at the door of the room, but the other party didn't seem to be doing anything else. He stayed at the door for a while and left soon.

    It's just that he lay there for about five minutes this time, when he heard the sound from the door, which seemed to be two people whispering.

    Soon, Shen Yuhuai heard a familiar voice.

    "I just watched it in the room, and it seems that no monitoring was arranged. The person sent it over and left." Xiao Zhou brought his boss to the room, "Then what to do now? Let Shen Will you continue to lie here, sir?"

    "Where is the room you opened?" When Chen Qizhao entered the room, he saw Shen Yuhuai lying on the bed. He changed out early. Compared to Lin Xuyan, who had passed out in the bathroom, Shen Yuhuai's reaction was still shallow. He could still be supported and walked away, so he was probably just drunk.

    Then she was sent to this room in confusion.

    Xiao Zhou came to help, "Does the boss want to help?"

    Chen Qizhao: "Give me the key card of your room, then go upstairs to find Chen Shiming and explain this to him."

    Xiao Zhou hurriedly took out the room card and gave it to Chen Qizhao, and then hurried to the banquet hall to find Chen Shiming.

    As soon as they left, only Chen Qizhao and Shen Yuhuai were left in the room.

    The room was not turned on, Chen Qizhao could only see the outline of Shen Yuhuai in the dark, he thought of leaving the banquet hall, Yan Kailin said that Shen Yuhuai drank a lot tonight. Chen Qizhao rarely watched Shen Yuhuai's drinking, and the other party only sipped lightly, let alone too much.

    He didn't hesitate, glanced at it and went to help Shen Yuhuai.

    Just as he put his arm around his body, he heard a voice in his ear.

    "Brother Huai?" Chen Qizhao stopped.

    Shen Yuhuai responded, but there was no other action.

    Inspecting Gu's family is not a simple matter. The more Shen Yuhuai investigates, the greater the risk he will encounter. The incident of hurting Yan Kailin in the grilled fish restaurant half a month ago is probably also the case. It had something to do with Shen Yuhuai and the others, otherwise Shen Yuhuai and Yan Kaiqi would not have been able to arrive at the scene so quickly.

    And today, Gu Shen's scooter was parked outside, and he arranged for a waiter and wine, obviously all for Shen Yuhuai.

    Chen Qizhao paused for a few seconds, and lifted the person up from the bed with a little force, and the other party followed him obediently, leaning his strength on him. It's just that when he first got up, the pressure on his body was suddenly relieved a lot. Chen Qizhao's eyelids were half closed, and the strength of supporting Shen Yuhuai was a little less.

    There are no people outside the corridor on the 5th floor, and the room opened by Xiao Zhou is just two rooms behind this room.

    Chen Qizhao helped someone to swipe the room card, and he closed the door.

    The lights were not turned on in the room, Chen Qizhao took Shen Yuhuai to the big bed in the room.

    He put the man down, and just as he was about to walk away, Shen Yuhuai, who was lying on the bed, suddenly grabbed his wrist.

    The opponent's hand didn't use much force, and the fingers on the wrist were grasped. Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the man lying on the bed, and seemed to see the man's open eyes in the dim light coming in from the window.

    The other's fingers are not cold, they are held warmly on his wrist, like a **** that cannot be broken.

      Chen Qizhao fell on Shen Yuhuai's body, their eyes were very close, he couldn't see what was hidden in those eyes, only smelled the faint smell of alcohol lingering between them.

    Suddenly, Chen Qizhao saw Shen Yuhuai's throat move.

    The last time the two met was at a grilled fish shop, and after that, Shen Yuhuai went to City B, and it has been almost half a month since they met.

    When he saw Shen Yuhuai in the banquet hall today, he had an uncontrollable emotion. Now that he is being held by the other party, it seems that the feeling of being hooked on the top of his heart has come again.

    The two didn't speak. I don't know how long it took before Chen Qizhao opened his mouth and said, "Brother, are you not drunk?"

    Chen Qizhao helped too many people who were so drunk that they basically couldn't control their strength.

    So when he helped Shen Yuhuai in the next room, he knew that the other party was not drunk and was pretending.

    Shen Yuhuai looked at him, the wrists they were holding turned into fingers interlocking.

    He raised a hand, the warm hand fell on the back of Chen Qizhao's neck, and the pulp of his fingers brushed against the other's skin.

    Even as long as you go down and peel off the coat, it is the beautiful back of the other party.

    Shen Yuhuai was stagnant, his hand fell on the other party's hair, and he could faintly smell the other party's body.

    "I was thinking about something after the phone call in the early morning." Shen Yuhuai's voice was a little hoarse, his fingers were light and gentle, and stroked the back of Chen Qizhao's hair, "Back then Liu Sui said one sentence is missing, I am indeed chasing people in S, but I have not told him."

    "I think I've got it."

    Chen Qizhao's heart beat uncontrollably and he asked, "Are we already dating?"

    Shen Yuhuai's fingers stopped, stopped at the back of his neck, and scratched slightly, "Isn't it?"

    The atmosphere between the two seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, perhaps it was Chen Qizhao's illusion, he seemed to see himself in those black eyes.

    In the endless future of endless drowning people, for the first time, he wanted to push away all scruples and drag the people in front of him into that pool of black water.

    Chen Qizhao said: "I may not be that good."

    "I may have to correct you."

    Shen Yuhuai's voice was very soft, his hand was on Chen Qizhao's neck, "I'm not that good either."

    The smell of wine was mixed with the faint smell of mint.
