At 6: 15 that night, Zhao Yu arrived at the main entrance of the Millionaire Building again.
Unlike the last time, the entrance of the Millionaire Building was much livelier this time. Guests from different regions and countries were all dressed up, which made the place look extraordinary.
There were politicians, businessmen, celebrities, and most of them were respectable public figures. Along with them, there was also a large number of news media, who were scrambling to take pictures of these people. The scene was very lively.
"Stick to the original plan," his mother-in-law said to Zhao Yu through the Bluetooth headset. "You don't have to do anything big. Just observe those who have secret dealings with Mr. Li.
Even if you can't find anything, you have to try to gain his trust, as well as his daughter's affection for you! "
"Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu sighed. "It seems that you really want to push your son-in-law into the fire pit! Seeing me flirting with another woman, won't you, as my mother-in-law, be jealous? "
"Don't talk nonsense. The mission has already begun!" His mother-in-law reminded him solemnly. "Zhao Yu, you have to remember, don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Don't ever see another watch and flirt with another woman again!"
"Don't worry!" Zhao Yu said. "Give me some positive energy. The ace spy is about to appear. Wahaha …"
Zhao Yu looked up to the sky and roared. Suddenly, a beautiful woman in an evening gown walked past him.
"Eh …" The beautiful woman snorted and muttered, "You're crazy."
Zhao Yu was speechless, his face full of awkwardness.
He adjusted the volume of his phone, adjusted his tie, then walked into the Millionaire Building with his head held high.
Before that, Mr. Li's secretary had already sent Zhao Yu an electronic invitation card. At the security check on the first floor, a security officer scanned the invitation card, then Zhao Yu was allowed to enter.
As there were too many celebrities present, the security check took longer than usual. Zhao Yu waited in line for quite a while before he entered the banquet hall.
"Aiya, aiyaya …" Mr. Li, who was standing at the door, saw Zhao Yu and quickly greeted him. "Sorry for the delay!
"Detective Zhao, it's a great honor for you to be here!"
"No, no, no …" Zhao Yu quickly said modestly. "I can't be compared to others!"
"No, no, no. You are my savior," Mr. Li laughed. "In my eyes, you are the most distinguished guest! Hahaha …
"Come on." He shook Zhao Yu's hand enthusiastically, then pointed to the banquet hall and said, "Have some appetizers and snacks first. I'll introduce you to some important friends later!"
"Okay." Zhao Yu rubbed his stomach. "I'm a little hungry! You can go back to your work! "
Then, Zhao Yu walked straight to the area with the plates. There were all kinds of appetizers and snacks on the plates. They were dazzling and exquisite.
However, Zhao Yu's eyes weren't only focused on the food. He quickly looked at the guests in the restaurant and turned on the recording device on his Bluetooth headset so that his mother-in-law could also see him.
During his observation, Zhao Yu saw many familiar faces. Most of them were movie or sports stars. Although he couldn't remember their names, they all looked familiar.
"Oh my god!" In the end, just as Zhao Yu was observing carefully, a well-dressed woman suddenly appeared from his left. She walked straight to Zhao Yu and looked at him in disbelief. "Am I mistaken? Officer Zhao, why are you here?"
"Ah?"
Zhao Yu was stunned. He turned around and saw that it was a very beautiful young woman, who was dressed like a big star.
"Oh …" Zhao Yu thought that the woman looked familiar, but after thinking for a long time, he really couldn't remember her name.
"Li Qian! I'm Li Qian!" The woman excitedly came forward and took Zhao Yu's hand. She then said, "You didn't really forget me, did you? After that incident, I even contacted you! "
Li Qian …
Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, then suddenly remembered that Li Qian was the actress who had been involved in the island murder case.
How … How could it be her?
With the appearance of Li Qian, Zhao Yu subconsciously thought of the scenes that had happened on Yongjin Island. The crew members who had died tragically, the broken lighthouse, and Captain Dou, who had lost his nature.
"Officer Zhao, are you okay?" Li Qian asked worriedly. "I really didn't expect to see you here!"
"Amazing …" Before Zhao Yu could react, his mother-in-law's taunting voice came through the Bluetooth headset. "My good son-in-law, you are really popular with women. You actually gave me another big surprise!"
"Go to hell!" Zhao Yu complained, but he accidentally made a sound.
"Ah?" Li Qian was stunned. "What did you say?"
"Oh …" Only then did Zhao Yu realize his mistake, so he quickly corrected himself. "I mean … It's such a coincidence. We haven't seen each other for a long time, right? You … How are you doing now? "
"Well, I'm doing well!" Li Qian said. "I'm a victim of the lighthouse case, a survivor, and a lucky person!"
"Oh? So … "Zhao Yu understood what she meant." Are you doing well now? "
"Well, yes!" Li Qian nodded and said. "After the case, my popularity suddenly increased a lot, and many crews began to invite me!
Then, I had the opportunity to shoot The Tomb Robber's Adventure with Lan Caiyan, the one with Shang Ge Yundun. Then … I became better and better … "
The Tomb Robber's Adventure … Lan Caiyan … Shang Ge Yundun …
Zhao Yu tried to recall, but he couldn't remember any of them. However, he knew who Lan Caiyan was. Lan Caiyan was an A-list actress in the entertainment industry, and she was particularly famous.
"No way!" Li Qian pouted in disappointment. "You're really busy. Didn't you see it? It's a billion yuan box office! "
"Oh, I may have seen it, but …" Zhao Yu took the opportunity to make up a story. "You've changed so much that I didn't recognize you."
"You're really good at comforting people." Li Qian blinked her big watery eyes and said, "I'll never forget your encouragement at that time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out of the darkness of Yongjin Island!"
Her words dragged Zhao Yu into melancholy.
Yes!
He could comfort others, but the mental sequelae left by the Yongjin Island murder case had troubled him for a long time. Now that he thought about it, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"You're living well, that's really good!" Zhao Yu extended his right hand. "Congratulations on becoming a big star!"
Li Qian quickly held Zhao Yu's hand and said in horror, "You're flattering me. I'm still far from being a big star! But, I'll work hard! "
"You two … You have a good relationship!" Zhao Yu's mother-in-law said through the headset.
Li Qian then asked, "By the way, I still don't know why you attended this charity banquet."
"Um … I … I … Ha ha …"
Zhao Yu was organizing his words, but to his surprise, he heard an excited woman's voice from the other side.
"Oh, it's really you, Detective Zhao!"
