Chapter 1: Assassination, Tide of the Night
At midnight.
Imperial Capital No. 3 Satellite City, Tianyuan City.
Eastern suburbs, on the island in the middle of the lake of Qianxing Lake, Ponzi Manor.
The lights are shining, the voices are boiling, and an unprecedented banquet is being held.
A huge banner was hung high in the air with a hot air balloon, on which was written, "Congratulations to Pang Zicong, the eighth son of the 23rd World Bank of the Family, for being ranked 15th in this year's World Academy Competition!"
Between the pavilions and pavilions near the water pavilion, inside and outside the winding water verandah and the colorful boats on the lake, the four generations of the family are in the same house, men and women, and foreign congratulatory guests gather.
Thousands of people, jewelry, fragrant clothes and sideburns, showing the luxury and wealth of the upper class.
Countless attendants and servants, carrying trays and pushing carts, shuttled among them, polite, calm, and properly cared for, with a strict demeanor.
People are in groups of three or five, eighteen in groups, holding wine glasses and talking loudly, or laughing and talking softly, they are happy and warm.
In the main hall, Pang Qingyun, the contemporary head of the Pang family, is in the middle, his overweight body is stuffed with a solid ironwood seat, his plump cheeks reflect the oil, and a pair of small eyes are so happy that he is almost unable to see, and sometimes he is laughed by the congratulations of a guest, and his fat chest and abdomen immediately rise and fall, shaking the ground and trembling.
“...... The eighth prince of Guizhuang has been crowned with glory in the imperial capital this time, and he has ascended to the throne, which has added a lot of brilliance to the faces of our fathers and elders in Tianyuan City! This is enough to show that Brother Pang has taught his son well, and he will be closer to him in the future. ”
A middle-aged guest held up a goblet and praised in a reserved tone.
This is the tenth time to say something similar tonight, but Pang Qingyun seemed to be extremely happy as if he had heard it for the first time, and raised the large gold-inlaid jade cup at the mouth of the bowl, laughing arrogantly: "Brother Lin, don't praise that stinky boy! But this time it's the children who are fighting for their own anger, and I, the old man, really don't play a big role."
What kind of friends do their young people like to make, our elders don't care too much, let them go. Drink, drink!"
After that, the neck of the three layers of fat piled up into pleats leaned back with difficulty, and half a catty of liquor was drunk, splashing a little on the placket, and he rubbed it twice with the bear's paw nonchalantly, and the placket was open, revealing the thick chest hair.
The middle-aged man surnamed Lin laughed dryly, kept his demeanor and drank, stepped back, and gave up his place to another guest.
These scenes have been staged since the beginning of the banquet, and the people around them have not heard or seen it.
Some of them brought young juniors, and they mentioned in a volume that could only be heard by each other: "Listen carefully to their conversations, which ones are long-term friendships, which are good friends of the family, and which ones are close to the relationship set temporarily, you must distinguish clearly." ”
The young man nodded slightly: "Obviously, this Mr. Lin is the third type, but it seems that the head of the Pang family didn't say anything to death, and left a mouth." ”
The elder sneered coldly: "Do you think that really allows the younger generations of the Lin family to make friends? Who of the old foxes present doesn't know that Pang Zicong has always been arrogant and has few peers who have taken a fancy to him? When the Lin family really goes to flatter, I'm afraid that he will lose face on the spot." ”
"Hey-Pang Lao Ba is really so arrogant?" the young man was surprised, and turned his eyes to look at a pavilion by the water pavilion, "I've dealt with him a few times before, but I haven't seen him throw a cold face!"
"Hehe, it's not that our family has a lot of business dealings with Pang Zicong, most of these transactions will be managed by Pang Zicong in the future, and you are one of the successors selected by our Du family. Besides, if you work hard enough, anyone who cares will see it. ”
The elder gently patted Hou Sheng's shoulder, and the young man heard the good news, and his face welled up with excitement.
He knew that he had deliberately befriended Pang Zicong before, and he was on the right path, and he must strengthen it in the future!
After whispering a few words of modesty, the young man cheered up, paid attention to the side of the pavilion, and with a pair of sharp eyes that he had cultivated, he could clearly see the expression of Pang Zicong's face in the middle of the pavilion, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Hey, why does he seem to be a little absent-minded?"
"It's not surprising, this son-in-law of the Pang family has always been impatient with this kind of communication, and he is more willing to go to the training ground to bury his head in penance...... Hmm, does that seem a bit unusual?"
The Du family was slightly surprised, he saw it more clearly, tonight's protagonist Pang Zicong, frowned, but it was not impatient, as if he was preoccupied?
"What's this for, well, it's better not to ask too much. The elder groaned slightly, withdrew his gaze, and whispered to the descendant, "Be vigilant, let's go to the side." ”
The two of them remained silent and walked leisurely to the side of the self-selected cold food table.
took the plate casually, randomly selected some food, and was about to turn to the side, when the sharp-eyed Housheng suddenly caught a glimpse of two abnormal figures out of the corner of his eye.
"Something is wrong with those two people......
He just wanted to make a reminder, but his mouth was suddenly covered by the elders, and he floated behind the towering wine glass tower, pressed his shoulders hard and bowed down, and hurriedly said in his ear: "Shut up, don't say anything, we don't know anything!"
"But ......"
"No, but!"
The young man looked at the elder in surprise, and saw that his face was full of panic, and his body trembled slightly!
Why the hell is that?
The young man wanted to know what was going on, but he was suppressed, and his strength was sealed, and it was difficult to even move a finger.
At this moment, a chuckle suddenly sounded in the ears of the two: "Don't be so nervous, since you have seen it, just cooperate with a little acting, and the province will be seen to be flawed, okay?"
Seen by someone!
The elders of the Du family were sweating all over, and they didn't dare to rashly investigate the location of the comer, so they quickly nodded and agreed, dragged the juniors to stand up straight, took a deep breath, and forcibly adjusted their breath and demeanor, looking like they were fine.
"Very well, that's it, eat and drink, don't stop. ”
The voice said a word, and disappeared without a trace.
The uncle and nephew walked back with the plates, seemingly casually touching left and right on the way, and did not find where the human voice came from.
Looking at the two figures who had just sensed that something was wrong, they had already approached the Water Pavilion where Pang Zicong was at this time.
"Don't be the kind of situation I thought!"
The Du family secretly prayed for the manifestation of their ancestors, hoping not to run into the worst trouble.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to remind him out loud, and he couldn't stay away, so he could only stare dryly and wait for the change to happen, this kind of torment was more uncomfortable than the wait when he was selecting the head of the family.
At this time, the small circle in the pavilion was lively, and more than a dozen teenagers surrounded Pang Zicong, talking loudly, with high spirits, and dancing eyebrows about the wonderful moments of the protagonist in the big competition, which attracted many people who were obviously present to see it to exclaim again and again, exaggerated and false.
Pang Zicong does not have the obesis of his father Pang Qingyun, but has a slender and upright figure, handsome and outstanding, and his appearance alone is also called one in a thousand.
He reluctantly responded to the praise and pleasure of his peers, and his deep eyes glanced around from time to time, as if he was expecting someone to come.
has a good partner who usually plays, and finally couldn't help it, so he hugged his shoulders affectionately and teased: "Which beauty is this that makes Ba Shao miss it so much, and he can't even bother talking to our brothers!"
Pang Zicong didn't like to be so close to people, so he reluctantly smiled and moved his shoulders to dodge, but the other party's arm tightened, and he couldn't break free!
At this moment, two suspicious people who had wandered to the edge of the pavilion suddenly rushed in, and the cold light in their hands burst out, instantly drowning his upper body!
