Chapter 174: Solo Night
There was a wonderful layer of clouds floating in the sky, there was no moon and there were not a few stars to be seen, it looked cold and gloomy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the Crown Hall was warm. Guests returned to the hall as bands played beautiful waltzes and giant crystal chandeliers glowed brightly. The crown is decorated with precious flowers, and the air is filled with a soft and delicate fragrance. Most of the guests have changed into their special dancing shoes in the lounge, and the dance party is about to begin.
Wan Guohou was listening to Sha Mengshu and Nan Zeyu talk about international current affairs, and they were very interested in a recent order signed by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. The order stipulates that from January 1, 2016, Russia will impose a uniform tariff on goods imported from Ukraine, and the previous preferential policies have been abolished.
"Not only that, but the other day, the Russian State Duma also adopted a bill submitted by Putin that from 2016 onwards, the effect of the agreement on the free trade zone with Ukraine will be suspended. Nan Zeyu said. Obviously, Shameng said that he was very happy to appreciate him.
"It is clear that Russia is further tightening counter-sanctions measures against Ukraine. Sha Meng said and came to a conclusion.
"Yes, Russia's suspension of the implementation of the agreement on a free trade zone with Ukraine within the framework of the CIS will deal an unimaginable blow to Ukraine. Nan Zeyu said with a smile.
Wan Guohou did not participate in this topic, not because he was not interested in this matter, but because the ball was about to begin, but he did not see the moon fall for a long time. According to etiquette, he and Yueshuluo will lead the dance, and then the Sha Minister and his wife will dance together, and then the four of them will exchange dance partners. Only after this ceremony is over, guests are free to dance. Seeing that it was about to be seven o'clock, Wan Guohou glanced at K1 not far away, and the latter, who was always paying attention to the guests in the venue, immediately walked over consciously.
"Master Hou, there's something wrong. K1 said respectfully.
Wan Guohou nodded to Sha Meng, Nan Zeyu and the others, "Temporarily absent." He followed K1 to the side, "Where's Mr. Moon?"
"I didn't see it, I thought you had arranged for her to do something else. ”
Wan Guohou's eyelids jumped, and he had a bad premonition, "You go to C4 and let him take a look at the surveillance." If you can't find the monthly manager, report it to me immediately. ”
"Yes. ”
Wan Guohou returned to everyone's side with a modest smile on his face, "Director Nan, I want to trouble you with something. ”
"Please. ”
"I need to borrow your wife. Wan Guohou's words were very polite, but there was a meaningful indisputable in his eyes, "For the opening dance, I need a good dance partner." And I have heard that Mrs. Nan dances well. ”
Tao Baihe looked at him in astonishment, "Where's the Moon Manager?"
"I very much hope to have the honor of leading the dance with Mrs. Nan. Wan Guohou avoided answering, but smiled and bowed.
After thinking for a few seconds, Nan Zeyu said briskly: "Thank you Lord Hou for your trust and handing over the responsibility of leading the dance to us." He looked at Tao Baihe, "Baihe, you can do it, right?"
Tao Baihe likes to be in the limelight the most, and she already likes to dance, so she can't help but be happy, just to not let people see it, she reluctantly pretends to be reserved and embarrassed. At this moment, when she heard her husband, who didn't like to dance, say this, she immediately laughed, "It's a small thing." ”
Wan Guohou bowed again to express his gratitude, and then, he stretched out a hand, "Please." ”
The two walked to the center of the dance floor, saluted each other, and began to dance.
Nan Zeyu watched from a distance, and a wonderful feeling rose in his heart: it was not jealousy, let alone jealousy, but close to a kind of relief. He couldn't explain this feeling, but he knew in his heart why he was united with Tao Baihe. If he was really allowed to choose freely, perhaps, he would choose a woman like Yue Shuluo as his partner. Thinking of this, he was suddenly shocked, "What am I thinking?" He was a little embarrassed, as if he had cheated.
Nan Zeyu looked around for a while, but he didn't find Yue Shuluo, he was a little strange, "This woman has always served Wan Guohou before and after the saddle, how could she play disappearance at such an important ball? Could it be that she was not satisfied with Wan Guohou's birthday gift, so she became petty?" But Nan Zeyu immediately denied his speculation. Obviously, Yue Shuluo is not that kind of woman, otherwise, Wan Guohou probably wouldn't have taken a fancy to her.
Nan Zeyu's expression caught Gao Jin's attention, "Director Nan?"
"Huh?"
Gao Jin pointed to the center of the dance floor, "Shall we go over and watch?"
Nan Zeyu shook his head, "I don't know how to dance much. He glanced at Nan Zejiao, who was chatting happily with Xie Madxin, and then looked at Yu Yiji, who was whispering to Sha Fujia, and suddenly asked, "Where is your daughter?"
Gao Jin was stunned, "She seems to have gone to the bathroom." ”
"I'm a little strange, Mr. Yue didn't show up for a while, and coincidentally, I didn't see your daughter. Nan Zeyu glanced at his watch, "Is it the head of the moon accompanying your daughter?"
Gao Jin was a little uneasy, but he didn't want Nan Zeyu to see his anxiety, so he smiled, "It's possible, I'll let Lan Lan take a look later." ”
After speaking, he came to You Jinlan's side, "Lan Lan, do you know where Xiangxiang went?"
"She went to the bathroom, and I was going to accompany her, but she wouldn't let her. You Jinlan replied, "I think she really doesn't want me to accompany her, so she didn't force it." ”
Gao Jin took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to ask, but You Jinlan said, "No need to call." She has her phone with me, and she doesn't have a pouch. ”
Gao Jin thought for a while, "In this way, Lan Lan, excuse me, can you go find her?" he put away his phone and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "She is not in good health, maybe she is a little uncomfortable, and she is afraid of affecting the interest of others." You know, this kid is very sensible. ”
You Jinlan nodded and left the crowd.
At this time, just at the end of the song, Wan Guohou and Sha Mengshu exchanged dance partners.
K1 hurried down the stairs, unwilling to let his guests notice his nervousness, so he stood by the wall and pretended to play with his phone, but his eyes swept across the hall and he fell into deep thought. "Yue Shuluo and Gao Xiangqi are gone, if it wasn't for the people of the 'Unkind Society', then who would be the person who dared to capture Hou Ye's woman and Gao Jin's daughter at the same time? If it is Gao Jin's enemy, then why should Yue Shuluo be arrested? If it is Hou Ye's enemy, then it shouldn't be against Gao Xiangqi......
K1 was dizzy with his thoughts, but this dance was so long that he had to wait patiently for Wan Guohou and Mrs. Sha to finish dancing.
He set his sights on the middle of the dance floor. Wan Guohou was tall, Mrs. Sha looked happy, and both of them had slender arms, which were especially suitable for rotation. Whenever Mrs. Sha turned around under the guidance of Wan Guohou, her gorgeous dress would proudly bloom into a blooming rose.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Wan Guohou's mouth, as if he was not dancing with Mrs. Sha, who was over fifty years old, but a peerless beauty, and his elegant posture and chic demeanor made K1 deeply admired-Wan Guohou knew that Yue Shuluo might have an accident, but he was still able to maintain his calm and calm.
But K1 soon read a sense of loneliness. Although Wan Guohou's dancing posture is calm and elegant, it carries an indescribable loneliness, as if all the prosperity and excitement around him have nothing to do with him. On the gorgeous stage of life, everyone regards him as the protagonist, but he just wants to be an ordinary passerby.
K1 remembered the ugly and stubborn face in his memory, and sighed.
Finally, when Wan Guohou and Mrs. Sha finished dancing together, K1 hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Hou. ”
Wan Guohou made a gesture and motioned for K1 not to speak yet. Then, he said to Shameng and Mrs. Sha and smiled apologetically, "Everyone, please take care of yourself." ”
When he reached the corridor, Wan Guohou asked, "Haven't you found anyone yet?"
"Master Hou!" K1's anxiety overflowed, "There is a camera on the second floor that has been spray-painted. ”
"What's going on?" Wan Guohou's expression also became serious.
"There were two men with masks on their faces, and they sprayed the camera with paint, and the camera was gone. C4 looked at the other cameras and could only see two men pushing the food cart away. I think there may be Mr. Yue and Gao Xiangqi on the dining car. When K1 said Gao Xiangqi's name, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Gao Xiangqi was also taken away, where did they take the people?"
"Well, to the side door, where there is a small van parked, but I can't see their faces clearly. ”
"Can you see the license plate?"
K1 hung his head and said, "I can't see it, it's also blocked." ”
Wan Guohou pondered for a few seconds, "I know." ”
His calmness surprised K1, "Master Hou, don't you want to check on these guests attending the banquet? ”
Wan Guohou said lightly: "I know it in my heart. ”
A few minutes later, Wan Guohou walked up to Gao Jin's side, "Mr. Gao, please come with me." Seeing that Gao Jin was a little hesitant, he said to the servant on the side, "After a while, when Miss You comes back, please ask her to come to the study on the second floor to find us." ”
"Yes. ”
Yu Jingbo noticed the expressions of Wan Guohou and Gao Jin, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Hey, Master Hou, where is the head of the moon?" I want to talk to her about the car just now. ”
Wan Guohou smiled, "If you talk about the car, I can do it for you." ”
"Is Mr. Yue uncomfortable?" Sui Qingliu also heard her husband's words and asked with concern.
"I don't know yet. Wan Guohou replied.
"What's the matter, Master Hou, what are you talking about?" Tao Baihe had just finished dancing with an official, with an exaggerated gasp, "Liu Liu, come and dance." ”
Sui Qingliu shook his head, "I don't know how to jump much." ”
Wan Guohou saw that more and more people were gathering, and it was no longer realistic to want to talk to Gao Jin privately, so he had to say: "Do you want to go to the study to breathe? Of course, those who like dancing can stay." ”
"Master Hou, I'll go with you. Sui Qingliu was afraid that he would be dragged to dance by Tao Baihe, so he hurriedly said. She glanced at Yu Yiji, who was chatting with Sha Fujia.
"I'll go too. Nan Zeyu said that he was not interested in dancing and was trying to escape for a while. "Although the music is good, it is a bit of a headache after listening to it for a long time. ”
"If you all go, then I will go too. Tao Baihe said with a smile, "Master Hou, is there anything delicious in the study?"
Wan Guohou said lightly: "The study is not a place to eat. However, if you are willing to appreciate it, I will definitely arrange it. He beckoned a servant, gave a few commands, and then looked at the group, "Please." ”
Wan Guohou led a group of people to the study on the second floor, and as soon as he entered the door, a servant served wine and pastries, but Wan Guohou and Gao Jin obviously had no appetite.
Gao Jin couldn't see You Jinlan and Gao Xiangqi for a long time, and he was already very anxious. He looked at Wan Guohou, "Master Hou, do you have surveillance here?"
"Of course. Actually, I invite you to the study just so that you can see the surveillance. Wan Guohou replied. Looking at Gao Jin with a surprised expression, he walked behind the desk and pressed a button. An area immediately slipped open on the wall, revealing a large screen.
Then, Wan Guohou pressed another button, and a surveillance screen appeared on the screen. The camera shot very well, and you can almost see the lines of the oil paintings on the walls.
"Master Hou, what is this?" Tao Baihe asked in surprise, "Is it a surprise for us?"
Wan Guohou touched his beard, "Don't be impatient." ”
Then, a sneaky man appeared in the camera, his face was wearing a mask, and his head was a little so low that he couldn't see him clearly. He wears a "Your-Table" uniform, but it seems to be a little smaller, stretching his shoulders and arms as if they are fixed, which makes it somewhat inconvenient for him to move.
He beckoned behind him, and another man, also wearing a mask, walked up. The man was dressed the same as him, only slightly thinner. Then, the skinny man stepped on his shoulder and climbed to a high place. The skinny man sprays a can of spray paint at the camera for a while, and the camera goes black.
Gao Jin's eyes widened in surprise, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the screen turn and switch to another camera.
The picture shows the two men, each with their backs to the camera, each pushing a food truck, and quickly walking towards the side door. The dining cart obviously has a certain weight, and the two of them are not easy to push.
"Master Hou, who are these two people, what are they going to do?" Gao Jin couldn't hold back anymore when he saw this.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. You Jinlan rushed in in a panic, "Mr. Gao, Xiangxiang is gone, I can't find her in the bathroom, I asked the waiter, and no one saw her." And ......," she hesitated a little when she saw a room of guests, "and besides, the knife that Hou Ye gave to Chief Moon fell on the corner of the corridor on the other side. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, but Wan Guohou asked, "Is there only one knife?"
