Chapter 16: Suspicion

Duan Huaining had a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked through the bustling crowd: "Isn't this coming?" ”

Following the line of sight, Duan Nian led Li Qiusheng to walk in their direction, greeting them from a distance.

As far as Mo Nianning is concerned, this commission is extremely risky, not to mention what identity people are involved in the middle, just the few people I have seen so far are all very promising, and it can even be said that the future of the entire Night City is in the hands of this group of people in the cocktail party.

Moreover, this time not only did she have to follow the client, but no one even told her the specific tasks and purposes to be done, if she hadn't believed Brother Sheng's judgment, she would never have accepted this kind of deal.

These people, as long as one of them has a movement, they will move the whole body, and the entire Night City may experience a transformation.

"Wait a minute, what Li Qiusheng wants you to do, you will do it." Duan Nian stood beside Mo Nianning, pretending to greet people nearby, and reminded her in a low voice.

Mo Nianning didn't answer, just looked at the two people in front of him who kept saying polite words.

"Mr. Li, it took me a lot of work to finally bring someone to you." Duan Huaining lowered his voice and took a sip of the wine in the glass, intentionally or unintentionally, "As for what to do, Mr. Li is free, as long as you don't embarrass Huaining in the end." ”

Li Qiusheng secretly thought in his heart, Duan Huaining brought this woman to such an occasion, because he expected that he would not dare to make a mistake, even if it was just for the sake of Fu Kaiting's face, he could not act rashly.

He Li Qiusheng has been looking for someone who has not been heard from for so long, Duan Huaining invited him in just a few days, it seems that he still can't underestimate this descendant, if he becomes an enemy one day, it should be quite tricky.

In the center of the reception, three young people gathered around, talking and laughing, and one of them was today's protagonist: Fu Shulang.

"Brother, your face is really big, you have such a big pomp and circumstance for your birthday, you really envy me." It was the second daughter of the Fu family, Fu Annie, who was wearing a pearl-pink off-the-shoulder dress, her hair was made into the most popular curly hair, holding Fu Shulang's arm and teasing.

Envy? What is there to envy? These people just came to slap horses because of their father's identity, why is it for him to be such a little Fu Shulang?

"You girl, if you celebrate your birthday another day, the pomp may be smaller than now."

Li Xiaoman laughed out loud: "The relationship between your brothers and sisters is really good, I haven't seen each other for so many years, and you are so intimate, it's really jealous." ”

Li Xiaoman is Li Qiusheng's daughter and attended today as Li Qiusheng's female companion. Li Qiusheng's wife died early, and he has been unmarried for many years, and he is such a pearl by his side.

"What are you jealous of? If you want it, my brother will give it to you, you will marry Ming'er, and the three of us will stay together every day, how lively! ”

Fu Annie and Li Xiaoman have long exchanged letters, the two hit it off at first sight, they met each other very happily, in this night city, there are very few people who can make friends without for the interests of power and wealth, and the two naturally cherish each other quite much.

"Annie, you're kidding me again."

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious, aren't I, brother?" Fu Annie pushed the silent Fu Shulang, why didn't she cooperate with the red line?

Fu Shulang didn't answer, just followed Li Xiaoman's line of sight, it was the position of Li Qiusheng and Duan Huaining, and what made him care was nothing else, but Mo Nianning, who was standing quietly beside them.

A few days ago, Li Qiusheng searched all over the city, wasn't this woman? I heard that the staff of the Garrison Department was also used.

"What are you looking at there? They don't listen to me. Hey? Isn't that Uncle Lee? Who was the young man talking to him? ”

"It's Brother Huaining." Li Xiaoman subconsciously answered, and when he saw the eyes of the other two, he went on to explain, "When I attended a banquet with my father before, I met a few times. ”

"Huh? It's not just a few times to see an expression. Fu Annie is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and once the gossip comes up, it will be difficult to be suppressed, "No wonder I asked you to marry my brother, I am not happy, it turns out that I have a sweetheart." ”

"Annie, if you continue to talk like this, Xiao Man won't dare to come to the house to play in the future." Li Xiaoman's face was flushed, and when he didn't know how to explain, Fu Shulang came out to play a round game.

Fu Annie let go of Fu Shulang's arm and hugged Li Xiaoman's arm tightly: "Brother, this is what you don't understand, we girls have a good relationship, so we will be so ridiculous." ”

Li Xiaoman just smiled and didn't say anything, but what she cared about was not Duan Huaining and her father, but the female dependent who was attending with Duan Huaining, who was sitting opposite Li Qiusheng at the moment.

"Miss Mo?" Li Qiusheng opened Ah Fu, crossed Erlang's legs, smoked a cigar, and screamed tentatively.

"Mr. Lee." Mo Nianning glanced up at Duan Nian and Duan Huaining, who were walking away, it turned out that the purpose of letting her come today was just to meet Li Qiusheng.

Li Qiusheng took a deep breath and spit out a cigarette, he didn't see humility or panic in her eyes, and even, he couldn't see a trace of emotional ups and downs, as if it was really a puppet.

"I heard that Miss Mo is a person from the soul pawnshop?" Li Qiusheng asked bluntly, intending to blow her up, but he didn't expect that the other party still had a calm face.

After taking a sip of the red wine in the glass, Mo Nianning looked at Li Qiusheng's eyes again: "If I say no, will Mr. Li believe it?" ”

A rhetorical question, skillfully throwing the question back to Li Qiusheng, he naturally hoped that the woman in front of him had nothing to do with the soul pawnshop, if the rumors were true, the soul pawnshop was not something he could easily deal with.

Li Qiusheng suddenly laughed a few times "heartily", and deliberately diverted the topic: "Miss Mo has an outstanding temperament, but I have never heard of Miss Mo in Night City, I don't know if Miss still has relatives in Night City?" ”

"Mr. has won the award, I am just a village woman, thanks to Mr. Duan's appreciation, I can see such a scene." In the guest room, she paused and glanced at Li Qiusheng, "If you talk about relatives, I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I don't know what my background is. I don't know what Mr. Li's intention is to ask? ”

Li Qiusheng squinted his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, he hadn't noticed it before, but Fu Kaiting's "Ah Ning" just now reminded him that this woman and that Liu Ning are really similar in charm.

However, the names of the two of them also have the word "Ning", Mo Nianning, Mo Nianning, does it mean that you don't want to miss Liu Ning?

If that's the case, Liu Ning was pregnant back then?! This Mo Nianning, Mo is not Liu Ning's daughter, right?

Suspicious...... It's really suspicious......

The more Li Qiusheng thinks about it there alone, the farther he goes, he is already suspicious by nature, not to mention how unfavorable the things he has encountered recently, it is inevitable that he will speculate deeper.

It is impossible for him to stand so tall today without a little blood on his hands, as he gets older and his position becomes more and more stable, what he is most afraid of is not how many stunned young people will challenge, but that the fish that slipped through the net back then came back to him for revenge.

As the saying goes, open guns are easy to block, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, if he doesn't do it thoroughly, he won't dare to sleep at night.
