"Hehe, thank you, Uncle Locklaring!" Maligeben said with a smile.
Locklaring nodded and turned away to register other guests, but these were not important figures. Locklaring was simply making a record without putting much heart to it.
After all this, Locklaring returned backstage. At this time, Shu Ya had arrived. She was putting on makeup backstage, while Shu Ya's agent, Xu Li, was in the process of dealing with the staff for a while.
"Hello, Miss Shu Ya!" Locklaring politely walked to Shu Ya, but since Shu Ya was getting makeup from the makeup artist and couldn't shake hands with him, he respectfully bowed.
"Hello, Mr. Locklaring." Shu Ya nodded to Locklaring. "It will take about twenty minutes to get my hair ready."
"Okay, then I am going to prepare here. After twenty minutes, the banquet officially begins," Locklaring said.
...
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the private banquet organized by me, Locklaring. First of all, please welcome our special guest, a popular celebrity. Miss Shu Ya, come to the stage!" Locklaring elegantly made a gesture of invitation, and the lights in the venue suddenly focused behind Locklaring. Shu Ya wore a white evening gown and walked towards Locklaring like an angel. There was a burst of applause and cheers in the room.
However, there were also people who were ill-intentioned. Looking at Shu Ya, Savin Geese snorted and said impatiently, "The real person is much more beautiful than the poster. She is simply an elf fallen to the mortal world. So beautiful!"
"Yes, if you can have a moment of ecstasy with her, it is even worth dying for!" Maligeben's breathing also became a little rushed.
Of course, the wretched dialogue between the two men did not affect anything. The atmosphere in the venue was very warm and positive.
Yang Ming was sitting quietly in the corner, admiring Shu Ya. She was the first love of his childhood.
Before Shu Ya went to Macau, she left a gift for Yang Ming. However, because Yang Ming was anxious to go to Macau to find Shu Ya, he never opened it. Later, he returned to Song Jiang from Macau. Due to the many happenings, Yang Ming put Shu Ya's gift in his own home and had not taken the time to go back. So even now, Yang Ming still didn't know what Shu Ya had given him.
Now seeing Shu Ya, Yang Ming suddenly remembered the gift. It seemed that after returning to China, he should go home. Even if it were not because of Shu Ya's gift, he had to go back and see his parents.
Since he built his own business and bought a house outside, Yang Ming rarely returned to see his parents. Although the careers of his parents were booming, these could not replace the joys of a family.
After Yang Ming decided to go back, he had to take some time to spend with his parents. After all, his parents were not young. Yang Ming thought of many things when he was in high school as though it were a lifetime ago.
After more than a year, Yang Ming felt that he really grew up. There was no longer the tenderness and hesitation of a year ago. Instead, it was replaced with shrewdness and decisiveness.
It was true whether it was a relationship, or gratitude and grudges. Yang Ming felt that if he returned to a year ago, he would definitely conquer Zhao Ying on that moonlit night, instead of delaying and waiting until now with no result.
The same goes for Wang Zhitao. Never mind that he framed Yang Ming and almost put Yang Ming into prison. Just for what he did to Zhou Jiajia, Yang Ming had enough reason to kill him.
However, the potential enemy had always made Yang Ming somewhat uneasy. What kind of person was the boss behind-the-scene? This person seemed to be familiar with Yang Ming, but the target did not seem to be him. He looked at Wang Xiaoyan next to him. The boss' actions were directed at Wang Xiaoyan several times, which made Yang Ming very confused.
After his own analysis and summary, the boss who targeted Yang Ming and the boss who targeted Wang Xiaoyan should be the same person. In this way, Yang Ming was even more confused. He did not know what the boss' ultimate purpose was.
However, regardless of his ultimate purpose, Yang Ming would one day not hesitate to kill him if Yang Ming was able to draw him out. However, Yang Ming thought so at the time. After a certain period, when Yang Ming really met the boss behind-the-scenes, what remained was only the shock.
Shu Ya gracefully walked to Locklaring and smiled at the people present. "Hello, everyone. I am delighted to meet friends in a foreign country and wish everyone a happy evening."
Although Shu Ya smiled and spoke graciously, Yang Ming saw a hint of helplessness and half-heartedness from her eyes. Yang Ming felt sorrow in his heart as he really wanted to rush up immediately, pull Shu Ya away, and go home together.
However, Yang Ming's reasoning was better than impulse. He also knew that this was not a good thing for Shu Ya at present, and he would ruin Shu Ya's career.
In fact, a girl who has her own views is not willing to be a decoration at home for a lifetime. Yang Ming also understood this very well. Therefore, he never interfered with their careers but allowed them to fight for achievements on their own. Therefore, there would be no regrets in life.
Shu Ya became a popular celebrity, completely because she loved to sing. She liked singing and wanted to bring her most beautiful music to everyone. For this particular matter, Yang Ming had already felt it when he was in junior high school. Shu Ya was born entirely for the arts. She was a natural singer.
"Next up, please allow me to introduce some special guests at the venue!" After introducing Shu Ya, Locklaring began to introduce the others, "Please put your hands together and welcome our distinguished guest, XY company president, and lieutenant governor's son, Mr. Savin Geese!"
Savin Geese heard Locklaring calling his name and walked over very happily. He waved his hand to the guests present as he walked, but his primary purpose was to attract Shu Ya's attention.
Many people present were cheering, especially the single ladies, who naturally paid special attention to single nobles like Savin Geese. However, Shu Ya always stood by the side with a faint smile and did not pay much attention to Savin Geese.
This made Savin Geese very depressed. He was secretly determined in his heart.I must get this little girl into the RV in a while and let her pay the price for despising me!
"Next, I want to introduce the son of the mayor of the city, Mr. Maligeben! Please welcome Mr. Maligeben up to the stage!" After Locklaring introduced Savin Geese, it was natural to turn to the city's prince.
Being the second one getting introduced, Maligeben had not a bit of a complaint. Savin Geese's family was not only stronger than his own, but also Savin Geese's company was bigger than his own company.
From the fact that Locklaring did not introduce his company, it could be seen how small Maligeben's company was, and speaking of it would only bring shame.
However, being the mayor's son was also enough to get attention. Maligeben was also very proud to walk to the side of Savin Geese, throwing a glance at Shu Ya.
Locklaring looked at Maligeben's lecherous manner and sighed helplessly, but he found it inappropriate to say anything.
The banquet officially started. Although most of them were fans of Shu Ya, those who dared to be close to Shu Ya were only those who were privileged.
Savin Geese and Maligeben were the two most active ones.
"Miss Shu Ya, welcome to our place. As the host here, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you!" Savin Geese acted as though he was the lieutenant governor and spoke to Shu Ya boastfully.
Facing such a privileged child, Shu Ya was very disgusted. He had a proud face as though he were superior, which Shu Ya found very tedious. But she had to face it sometimes. After all, this was not Hong Kong, not her family's territory.
Sometimes when she thought about it, her most successful concert held was in Song Jiang. There, no one dared to harass her. Most probably it was the presence of Yang Ming as the "underworld boss" that caused the situation.
"Hello, Mr. Savin Geese!" Shu Ya greeted politely to Savin Geese.
"Miss Shu Ya, are you willing to dance with me?" Savin Geese didn't say a word or two, revealing his original lecherous face.
Shu Ya suddenly frowned. Seeing Savin Geese's appearance, she knew that he was not simply dancing when he asked her to dance. He definitely wanted to take advantage of her, so why would Shu Ya give him this opportunity?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Savin Geese. I have just arrived in Europe for two days. I am not good with the time difference, and I feel very sore all over my body. I can't simply walk around." Shu Ya smiled a little and said apologetically.
Savin Geese listened to Shu Ya's words and suddenly felt that he lost his face. Never mind in the city, even in the whole state, there were very few people who didn't give face to him. So after Savin Geese was rejected, his face suddenly became a bit ugly. But because it was a public occasion and Locklaring's territory, Savin Geese didn't get angry on the spot.
However, Savin Geese didn't get angry, but Maligeben was unwilling. The prince was a real local boss. Seeing that Shu Ya didn't give face, he was not happy. "Miss Shu Ya, have you thought it through? This place is not Hong Kong. You don't even give face to Savin Geese?"
This was already a blatant threat. When Shu Ya heard it, her facial expression changed. Indeed, once she offended these people here, her career would become difficult. However, to put herself down and sacrifice herself to please these people for her career, Shu Ya would never do it.
Seeing that Shu Ya did not compromise, but stayed at a stalemate with Maligeben, Savin Geese quickly mediated. He was afraid of affecting his public image, so he signaled Maligeben with his eyes and said, "Forget it. Since Miss Shu Ya doesn't give us face, then let's not bother her!"
When Maligeben saw Savin Geese say such words, he could only snort and shut his mouth resentfully. He turned around and left with Savin Geese.
"Savin Geese, why didn't you just ask me to vent your anger for you? In my dad's territory, who do we need to be afraid of?" Maligeben said disdainfully.
"Indeed, we are not afraid of anything, but after all, it is a public occasion. We must also pay attention to our image. Otherwise, once someone grabbed ahold of our shortcomings, it will be hard to handle!" said Savin Geese, "As for when we get Shu Ya, this little chick, in the RV in a while, isn't that the time when we do what we please? We get to do what we want!"
"Then, would she report us afterward?" Although Maligeben was not afraid of anything, he was not a brainless person. After all, Shu Ya was an international celebrity, not an ordinary person.
"Report us? What nonsense!" Savin Geese said disdainfully, "What is Shu Ya's identity? International celebrity, pure and innocent girl. Once this issue gets bigger, it will only affect her career. Would she dare to say it openly?"
"That's right!" Maligeben nodded after listening, and said, "Later on, when we get her in the vehicle, we will f*ck her to death. She dared not to give you face. We will let her know what the consequences are."
"Hehe, that's for sure!" Savin Geese nodded very sultrily. "Is everything ready?"
"What?" Maligeben was stunned.
"Sedatives, stupid!" Savin Geese glanced at Maligeben and asked him to speak softly, "Don't be so loud. Do you want to let others hear it?"
"Sorry, haha. The sedatives are ready, of course. It is in my pocket. Just inform me when to slip the drug!" said Maligeben.
"En, be mindful of my eye signals later on," said Savin Geese.
The behavior of the two men who went to harass Shu Ya had naturally fallen into Yang Ming's eyes. Yang Ming quietly looked at what the two had done. If they showed slight disrespect, Yang Ming would definitely make a move.
Fortunately, the two left after just saying two sentences, so Yang Ming did not make a move.
"Why are these two people so bothersome?" Wang Xiaoyan also saw Maligeben and Savin Geese harassing Shu Ya and was disgusted. "Yang Ming, would you like me to find a chance to assassinate them?"
Yang Ming heard Wang Xiaoyan's words and broke into a cold sweat all of a sudden. She was still an assassin, after all. Little Girl Wang's character was formidable. Fortunately, Yang Ming was better off than her in martial arts. Otherwise, Yang Ming would be the victim of her dagger.
"You don't have to. Let us wait and see." Yang Ming shook his head and smiled at Wang Xiaoyan. "Don't always start with assassinating others. Although it doesn't matter if these two people died, for a girl to always put beating up people and killing people in her words, it is not so good."
"Oh, then I won't say it in the future. When I see someone not pleasing to the eye, I will just kill the person directly." Wang Xiaoyan deliberately pretended not to understand Yang Ming's words.
Yang Ming did not know if he should laugh or cry, but he was helpless with Wang Xiaoyan.
Old Buffon who also heard it at the side, and broke into a sweat. He thought,She is really the master's wife, so extraordinary. She is so slick to kill someone as though she is killing an ant, but that also proves that she has such strength. Those who don't have such strength have to worry about getting killed before being able to kill others.
Old Buffon didn't think about the consequences of Wang Xiaoyan killing Maligeben and Savin Geese. In his position, there was no need to consider these things. No matter how serious the issue was, as long as it happened in Europe, Old Buffon's family would have their ways to solve it.
It didn't take long for the banquet to begin. The exquisite dishes were brought up by the well-dressed chefs, and the waiters started to shuttle through the entire banquet venue.
"Sir, madam, what do you want to drink?" A waitress approached Yang Ming and the others as she asked courteously.
"Fruit juice, please," Yang Ming said casually. He came here, just wanting to see Shu Ya, not to drink.
"Alright sir, please wait a moment." After the waitress finished, she went to prepare.
At this time, Maligeben and Savin Geese came to Shu Ya again with one of them holding a wine glass.
"Miss Shu Ya, it was my bad just now. I'm here to toast to you. Please forgive me for my rudeness!" Maligeben came to Shu Ya and spoke very politely, changing the ugly face from before.
Shu Ya was stunned. She did not expect that Maligeben's attitude would come to such a considerable change. She looked at Maligeben in surprise. "I am sorry. I don't drink alcohol. Can I use juice instead?"
Looking at the wine glass raised by Maligeben, Shu Ya spoke.
"Let's go with red wine. Red wine is almost the same as juice," said Savin Geese. Of course, he wouldn't let Shu Ya drink the juice, because he had already slipped the drug in the red wine. If Shu Ya drank the juice, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?
As he spoke, he didn't give a chance for Shu Ya to refuse as he picked up an empty cup next to Shu Ya and personally handed over a glass of red wine to her. He said, "Miss Shu Ya, we sincerely apologize to you!"
"Then... okay!" Shu Ya had no choice but to accept that glass of wine. After all, red wine had a low concentration of alcohol. She could still accept it.
"Well, Miss Shu Ya is really a forthright person, then I will toast first!" Maligeben drank the wine in one gulp and said, "You orientals like to drink in one gulp!"
Since it came to this point, Shu Ya couldn't help but drink. She had to pick up the glass and drink the red wine in the glass.
"Good!" Maligeben immediately exclaimed with excitement. Of course, most of it stemmed from the reason that Shu Ya drank the sedative.
Yang Ming's eyes never left Shu Ya. It was natural to note that Maligeben and Savin Geese appeared again in front of Shu Ya, but he saw that both of them were well-behaved, and he didn't care much. How could he know these two were conspiring?
After Shu Ya finished drinking, she saw that Savin Geese and Maligeben still did not leave, so she asked, baffled, "Is there anything else?"
Maligeben and Savin Geese were waiting for the drug to go into effect. How would they be willing to leave Shu Ya alone? If Shu Ya fainted in the hall and were taken to the hospital by others first, they would have no chance.
