Chapter 428 - 426: The Birthday Party现场
Before long, Mr. Hu obviously saw Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting, hurriedly walked over, and said, "Chen Tianlong, Miss, you’ve both arrived. What would you like to drink? I’ll go get it for you!"
"Mr. Hu, no need, we’ll sit for a bit first and then go get it ourselves later. You go ahead and do your thing." Chen Tianlong wasn’t that delicate, needing someone to serve him a drink.
"Alright, I’ll go then."
Mr. Hu was quite efficient in his work and left hurriedly after speaking, as he still had many things to tend to.
After Mr. Hu left, Chen Tianlong stood up and asked, "Wushuang, what would you like to drink?"
"Lemon juice with ice!" Wu Mengting replied with a sweet smile.
"Okay."
Chen Tianlong didn’t delay and headed straight into the hall, but just then, a few people came in.
Lin Wushuang glanced inadvertently and was instantly stunned. These three people, weren’t they the ones who opposed Chen Tianlong a while back?
Why were they here?
Evidently, Mo Shaoyun also saw Lin Wushuang, smiled at her, and sat at an empty table across from her. After all, they were three people, and a table could only accommodate four at most.
If they all went to Lin Wushuang’s table, there wouldn’t be enough room to sit.
Lin Wushuang hesitated to speak. Today was her father’s birthday, and guests should be treated with hospitality. Nothing unpleasant should happen.
Moreover, the person was the Young Master of the Mo Family; attending such events was normal. After all, everyone here was an elite in the business world, and taking the opportunity to communicate and interact was quite reasonable.
"Young Master Mo, isn’t that Lin Wushuang, the young girl over there?" Li Kai signaled to Mo Shaoyun.
"Damn, I’m not blind. Such a big person, how could I not see?"
Mo Shaoyun rolled his eyes at Li Kai and continued in a low voice, "I’m warning you, don’t have any bad intentions towards that girl. Our target tonight is Lin Batian, and that guy by the young lady’s side is Chen Tianlong. You’ve experienced his prowess, so don’t ruin our plans."
"Oh, I know."
Li Kai replied blandly, obviously a bit unconvinced.
"Alright, Li Kai, Lin Yu, you two stay here first. I’m going into the hall to check the situation!"
After saying this, Mo Shaoyun stood up and headed towards the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a familiar figure. That person was Chen Tianlong. So, Mo Shaoyun pretended not to see him, hurried into the crowd, and began observing everything around, trying to find some positions where he could make a move.
Originally, Chen Tianlong couldn’t see Mo Shaoyun, but at this moment, Lin Wushuang also came in. She quickly walked up to Chen Tianlong and said softly, "Chen Tianlong, I saw Mo Shaoyun’s gang, and it seems like Hao Jian’s lackey Lin Yu is here too, and Mo Shaoyun just entered the hall, sneaky, not sure what he’s up to?"
Chen Tianlong frowned, pretending to be surprised on the outside, but secretly laughing inside.
"Yeah, I don’t know what that kid’s doing here. Are your Lin Family and the Mo Family close?" Chen Tianlong deliberately asked.
"Close? Not at all, we basically have no interactions. The only thing you could say is that we are all in the business world, maybe they just came to mingle." Lin Wushuang analyzed.
"Hehe, this Young Master Mo really is bored, even coming to someone’s birthday party to join in the fun." Chen Tianlong deliberately hinted to Wu Mengting.
Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Lin Wushuang’s brow furrowed, "Chen Tianlong, do you think they might..."
"No.... They don’t have the guts!"
Chen Tianlong abruptly interrupted Lin Wushuang, then shifted the conversation with a smile, "Alright, your lemon juice with ice, I’ve already poured it, I like it too, so I got two cups, let’s go out and have a drink."
"En, okay." Lin Wushuang immediately brightened up. Today was her father’s birthday; she shouldn’t overthink, just go with the flow.
Over there, after observing for a while, Mo Shaoyun suddenly noticed the ten-tiered cake at the center of the hall, the most eye-catching object. Considering for a moment, Mo Shaoyun’s mouth twitched into a sly smile.
As per usual birthday celebrations, cutting the cake and popping the champagne are the basic steps, completed by the birthday person. The best time to strike must be that moment.
At this point, Mo Shaoyun looked around. Everyone was greeting each other, chatting away since the birthday party hadn’t officially started yet, and no one noticed the commotion here.
Mo Shaoyun walked up to the ten-tiered cake, pretended to examine it, then suddenly pulled out a black object from his pocket and quickly stuck it under the table holding the cake.
After doing all this, Mo Shaoyun took a deep breath and swiftly moved away.
After all, such a thing was so perilous that if caught in the act, he would not only face ruin but also possibly drag his entire Mo Family into legal trouble.
This crucial step went smoothly, indicating his plan was halfway complete. The next task was equally arduous: to contact the insider within the Lin Group to gain more accurate information.
Just as Mo Shaoyun left, two people appeared in his previous position, naturally the brothers Zhao Hu and Zhao Long.
The two each held a glass of red wine, filled with excitement, looking around for people to toast with.
Sure enough, near the entrance, a man in his thirties accidentally bumped into Mo Shaoyun, and the red wine in his hand spilled onto Mo Shaoyun’s shirt, instantly making it a bit dirty.
"I’m sorry, friend, it wasn’t intentional."
The speaker was a human resources manager at Lin Group, named Li Sifang.
"Ah... how careless, now how am I supposed to face people?"
Mo Shaoyun was evidently a bit upset, but the next moment, Li Sifang gave him a look, and Mo Shaoyun paused, suddenly understanding.
"I really am sorry." Li Sifang said apologetically.
"Forget it, I’ll just go to the restroom and wipe it off myself. Watch where you’re walking, don’t bump into people." Mo Shaoyun said, heading towards the restroom.
However, clenched in his hand was a piece of paper. During the collision, Li Sifang had quickly slipped the note into Mo Shaoyun’s hand.
After reaching the restroom, Mo Shaoyun hid in a stall and began to unfold the note. It turned out to be a layout map of the villa.
Besides the main villa, the arrangement of the outer area of the Lin Family Mansion was also crucial. Once they captured someone, they must make a swift escape, so the layout of the villa and mansion was vitally important.
If not for Li Sifang having an insider within the Lin Family, it would have been tough to obtain such a distribution map. The person who delivered him the map was none other than Mrs. Hong, who was responsible for cleaning.
After memorizing the distribution map, Mo Shaoyun crumpled it into a ball and flushed it down the toilet.
After doing all this, Mo Shaoyun returned to his seat, holding a glass of red wine, contentedly sipping it, saying, "This wine is really good!"
