Night fell and the sky was dotted with stars.
Dozens of luxury cars of different styles were parked outside a manor surrounded by mountains and rivers.
In the manor surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, there was a palace made of white bricks. The palace was brightly lit and soothing music was playing.
Influential figures from all over the Southwest were gathered here.
There were big shots in politics, top tycoons in the business world, and leaders of some famous families. They were all invited here by Zheng Hongbang, the head of the Zheng family.
"Mayor Liu, you're here too?" A fat man saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses in front of him and hurriedly put on a smile to greet him.
The middle-aged man smiled faintly when he saw the fat man. "This time, I'm just accompanying Mayor Qin."
The fat man was shocked when he heard that. He did not expect Mayor Qin to be attending this ball.
One had to know that Mayor Qin was a deputy provincial level official. He was usually calm and upright, and rarely attended such social events. What matter did the Zheng family's patriarch have to invite him to come as well?
The fat man's name was Wei Ronghui. He was a big real estate businessman in the country and had recently acquired a sizable piece of land in Chengdu. This was a rare opportunity to meet Mayor Qin, so he immediately wondered if he should take this opportunity to get closer to him.
Wei Ronghui chatted with Deputy Mayor Liu for a while before walking toward Mayor Qin.
Then, he saw a well-built man in his forties standing silently to the side.
Huh … this person looks familiar.
Wei Ronghui walked over and looked at the front.
Holy shit! Isn't this the head of the provincial public security department, Zhou Zheng?
Isn't he busy with the strange deaths in Huang Xi Village? Why is he in the mood to attend this ball?
Wei Ronghui was shocked. He recalled what Zheng Hongyi said when he invited him to the ball. It seemed that he wanted to introduce a few people to everyone at the ball.
Thinking of this, his beady eyes, which were almost squeezed into slits by his fat, looked around. Could it be some big shot?
At this moment, three young people also walked into the scene of the ball.
The leader was a tall and thin man. After looking around the scene, a smile appeared on his face.
Following behind him was a beautiful woman with long hair and a man with a smug smile on his face.
"Wuhua, those who attend this ball are all big shots. Be careful with your words and actions," the man warned.
Behind the tall and thin man were Lin Wuhua and Gao Peng.
Lin Wuhua nodded solemnly at Gao Peng's warning.
Originally, they were not qualified to attend a ball of this level. The reason they had the opportunity to come here was all because of Young Master Zheng.
This Lord Zheng was Zheng Yong, the son of the host of the ball, Zheng Hongyi.
He and Gao Peng were university classmates and could be considered good friends.
It was also because of this relationship that Gao Peng had the opportunity to bring Lin Wuhua to this ball.
Gao Peng looked around at the big shots around him. His eyes were burning with passion. If he could establish a relationship with them, his company would definitely be able to take a big leap forward!
Most of the people at the ball would smile and nod at Zheng Yong when they saw him. and some would even greet him.
The socialites around him also looked at Zheng Yong with anticipation in their eyes.
From time to time, Zheng Yong would also size up these young ladies who came from prestigious families. Although there were many beautiful ones, he didn't particularly like any of them.
He was tired of seeing so many women. Looking at ordinary beauties now was no different from looking at ordinary people. It was difficult for him to reignite his passion.
However, at this time, a figure appeared in his field of vision, causing him to freeze on the spot.
Zheng Yong was dumbfounded. The woman in the red evening gown gave him an unprecedented shock.
He had never seen such a beautiful and dazzling woman. She had a perfect body and a face that could topple cities. She was so beautiful that she overwhelmed the crowd.
Seeing Zheng Yong suddenly freeze, Gao Peng followed his gaze and exclaimed, "It's them!"
Hearing Gao Peng's voice, Zheng Yong reacted. He turned around and asked, "Gao Peng, do you know them?"
Gao Peng nodded. "I only met them once. I only know one man. His name is An Lin, and he is a student. As for the other man and woman, I don't know them. "
Gao Peng purposely hid the fact that the woman seemed to be close to An Lin from Zheng Yong.
He had sensed Zheng Yong's interest in the woman.
It made sense. Anyone would be moved by such a noble and beautiful woman.
Gao Peng knew Zheng Yong's character very well. If he had his eyes on a prey, he would do anything to get it.
Now, all he needed to do was wait and watch the show …
"Oh?" Zheng Yong began to size up the three people.
All three of them were unfamiliar faces. They looked very young, and their temperament was extraordinary. They should be from some famous family.
"Ol 'Liu, serve the wine!" Zheng Yong beckoned.
Immediately after, a butler came up with a tray of wine and handed over two glasses of red wine that had been prepared beforehand with experienced movements.
This red wine was no ordinary wine. It was the Passion Wine brewed by the Heaven Divination Cult. It had a strong alluring effect.
Zheng Yong was a person who didn't want to waste time on relationships. Whoever he liked, it was a matter of a glass of wine.
Holding the glass, he stared at the woman with a burning gaze. He thought to himself, I must get my hands on her tonight!
Zheng Hongyi and Huang Shanshan had to leave for a while to receive a guest who had suddenly arrived.
Therefore, after An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xuanyuan Cheng met up, they began to stroll around the ball.
"Hello, my name is Zheng Yong. Welcome to the ball. "
Suddenly, a tall, thin man appeared in front of them with a glass of wine in his hand.
"Hello, my name is An Lin." An Lin replied politely to the man who suddenly came to strike up a conversation.
Following that, Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan also introduced themselves.
Zheng Yong, who had originally planned to have a drink with the stunning beauty, was shocked when he heard their names. He was in a bad mood.
He remembered what his father told him before he went out, "Little Yong, there will be three people specially sent by the country to attend this ball. Their names are An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xuanyuan Cheng."
"This ball is for them. Remember, you're nothing but a grandson in front of them. Don't neglect them …"
Zheng Yong knew what Zheng Hongyi's words meant.
These three people had powerful backgrounds. They were not people he could afford to offend!
'Oh my god … I actually wanted to make that woman drink the Passion Wine …'
The more Zheng Yong thought about it, the more scared he became. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong?" An Lin noticed something was wrong with Zheng Yong's expression and asked concernedly.
Zheng Yong regained his senses and apologized, "Ah … I'm not feeling well all of a sudden. I'm sorry, I'll be taking my leave."
He just wanted to take the wine away and leave this place as soon as possible.
This wine was like a ticking time bomb that kept him on tenterhooks.
"Hey, this wine looks good."
An Lin noticed the red wine on the butler's tray, and he picked it up.
Damn it!
Zheng Yong's body swayed when he saw this.
"Come on, it's fate that we met. Let's have a toast!" An Lin smiled and raised his glass.
Zheng Yong really wanted to smash the glass of wine in his right hand when he heard this.
Have a toast? Then make An Lin fall in love with him?
What a joke!
The conversation between Zheng Yong, An Lin, and the others attracted the attention of many people at the ball.
Gao Peng, who was in the crowd, was confused. He didn't understand what was going on.
Why did Zheng Yong, who was full of confidence before, suddenly become a coward?
…
Seeing Zheng Yong hesitate, An Lin narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well and can't drink?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm really not feeling well right now …"
"When I've recovered, I'll definitely drink with you, Brother An!"
Zheng Yong said immediately, following An Lin's words.
"Don't worry, I have a way to cure your discomfort." An Lin smiled faintly.
"Brother An, you know medicine?" Zheng Yong was a little uneasy.
"Yes, it's called physical therapy …" An Lin smiled.
He suddenly raised his right hand and slapped Zheng Yong's face with the force of the wind!
Slap!
The loud sound of the slap reverberated throughout the ball.
Zheng Yong was sent flying two meters away by the huge force of the slap. Two of his teeth were also knocked out by the slap. He spat out blood and rolled on the ground. Half of his face was swollen from the slap.
Gasp! Many of the people who were secretly observing An Lin and the others drew sharp intakes of breath upon seeing this with incredulity on their faces.
Gao Peng's eyes were wide open, dumbfounded.
Holy sh * t! What's going on? Why did An Lin hit Zheng Yong in public?!
An Lin turned around and smiled at the dazed Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan.
"Yes, when dealing with scum like him, if you can use your fists, try not to use your mouth!"
