Zhang Hao purposefully strolled through the crowd with Gu Yue, so that He Qianhui would notice his presence.
And sure enough, after only half a small circle, she had already noticed him.
Unlike him, however, Zhang Hao was accompanied by a beautiful woman, while she was with a fat man who looked like a pig.
The party was at its liveliest when Zhang Hao excused himself to use the restroom, temporarily splitting from Gu Yue.
And shortly after his departure, He Qianhui also followed him out.
When she ca out, she seed unaccustod to the wide evening gown she was wearing, taking each step with great care.
"Hao, why are you here too?"
"How could I not be here? Knowing you have to accompany such a sleazy old man, if I didn’t watch over the scene, who would I turn to if sothing went wrong?"
"You didn’t co alone, who’s that woman you were with?"
"Without that woman to bring , I wouldn’t even have been able to enter through these doors today."
"That man, has he made any undue advances toward you?"
He Qianhui shook her head, "No undue advances yet, he just said he wanted to join him at this event today. As long as I could attract enough attention for him at the event, he promised to sign the deal."
"Be very careful with any food or drinks that he offers you later," warned Zhang Hao.
Until now, He Qianhui still hadn’t accepted the fact that Zhang Hao had appeared before her eyes.
She felt as if she was still dreaming until the fat man ran out from the banquet looking for her.
"I’m heading back now. If anything happens, call ."
As soon as He Qianhui returned, Gu Yue ca out shortly thereafter. Compared to others, Gu Yue’s outfit was much simpler.
She was wearing a black long dress.
"What’s going on? Weren’t you going to the restroom? Why are you here alone? Public urination is not encouraged you know."
"My sister just ca out, and it seems like that man hasn’t made any indecent proposals. You believe that?"
"It’s just not ti yet. Just wait a bit longer. I think it won’t be long before your dear sister sends you a distress ssage."
As he spoke, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated with a buzz.
Zhang Hao took it out and his face changed.
"She really did send a ssage, saying her client wants her to wait for him in his room."
"Leave your sister to . Just go inside. Which room is it?"
"619!"
"619, got it. Don’t worry about your sister, I’m here."
Gu Yue never wanted to attend these sorts of parties and had already greeted the people she knew at the event.
Leaving at this ti wouldn’t have much of an impact.
No sooner had she left than Zhang Hao returned to the midst of the banquet. To the guests at the banquet, Zhang Hao was an unfamiliar face.
To give Gu Yue enough ti, Zhang Hao deliberately sought out the fat man.
At first, he didn’t greet him but simply walked back and forth in front of him.
The party was a place for free movent, allowing people to go wherever they wished.
But the fat man seed to have realized that Zhang Hao kept walking in front of him.
So when he noticed, he had soone stop Zhang Hao.
"Hey, you, why are you walking back and forth in front of , blocking my view?"
Zhang Hao spread his hands: "This is a party, I can go wherever I want. Are you really trying to restrict my personal freedom?"
The fat man obviously did not expect Zhang Hao to disrespect him like that.
"Do you know who I am? Talking to in that tone, you must be tired of living."
Zhang Hao’s eyes shifted: "Is there a problem with that? Who you are really isn’t important to . Others have passed in front of you, why didn’t you stop them, just ? Why are you singling out?"
The fat man put down his glass and walked straight up to Zhang Hao. The two were about the sa height, with no one looking down on the other.
But the fat man was much larger than Zhang Hao. At a glance, he seed much more imposing.
"No one dares talk to like that. You’ve gotten on my bad side today."
In the face of this threat, Zhang Hao was not afraid.
"What are you going to do to ? I’m telling you, don’t co near . If sothing happens to you in a mont, I won’t be able to explain it away."
Clearly, the fat man did not take Zhang Hao’s words seriously.
The fat man raised his hand, and Zhang Hao grabbed his arm, tapping lightly at his elbow with his other hand.
With just that tap, the fat man staggered backward, feeling his entire side go numb and unresponsive.
Zhang Hao warned him again: "I told you not to co over, but you wouldn’t listen. Isn’t this brought on by yourself?"
The other guests, seeing the commotion, couldn’t help but direct their attention over.
It seed no one really liked the hypocrisy at these parties. A conflict was much more entertaining to watch.
The fat man looked around and shook his hand.
"What did you just do to ?"
Zhang Hao spread his hands in front of him: "I didn’t do anything. You couldn’t possibly think I’m carrying so secret weapon, could you?"
The fat man stuttered, unable to say anything, until Zhang Hao received a call from Gu Yue.
She said she had rescued his sister and told him to make a quick getaway.
Zhang Hao stepped forward, holding the man’s arm, and said,
"Next ti, if soone gives you a friendly warning, you better listen. It’s like they say, ’Heeding advice leads to a full stomach.’"
"This ti, I’ll let it slide. If we et again, you might not be so lucky."
After saying that, Zhang Hao tapped the fat man’s arm again, lightly as before.
The fat man felt the numb sensation disappear instantly, though it was gone,
he suddenly felt an intense fear of the man in front of him.
Zhang Hao retreated and got into Gu Yue’s car. When he saw He Qianhui, he was too embarrassed to directly call her any term of endearnt like ’wife’.
"Sis, are you all right?"
He Qianhui was confused and did not understand what Zhang Hao was up to.
Still, she played along and shook her head: "I’m fine. What’s going on with you today? And how did she know where I was?"
"We’ll talk about it when we get back. Where are you staying now?"
"Jiahua Hotel, my luggage is all there."
Zhang Hao glanced at Gu Yue next to him, and she imdiately started the navigation on her phone.
Then she drove straight to the hotel He Qianhui had just ntioned.
