It was another night. Shi Haishan City regained its usual bustling scene, as if the riot two days ago had never happened.
This was not because the people were forgetful, but because the Magistrate's Office did it on purpose to divert people's attention.
On the second day after the riot, the Magistrate's Office announced a series of important news. First, Shi Haishan City would create more than 300,000 new jobs within the next six months.
Secondly, the Third Prince of the Northern Kingdom would come to Shi Haishan City within this week to pray for the Northern King's birthday.
Thirdly, this year was the Northern King's birthday, so the Northern Kingdom's taxes would be reduced by 70%.
Finally, within this week, guests from all over the Eastern Continent would come to participate in the Northern Kingdom's birthday banquet.
…
The series of news immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the city. This news was important to the people of every social class in Shi Haishan City.
For a time, the entire city was boiling. At night, all kinds of parties and dances were held. Who would have thought that two days ago, there was a large-scale riot in the inner city?
No one would have thought that there was an even more shocking conflict in Shi Haishan City.
At night.
Another round of singing and dancing parties began in the Northern Kingdom's Shi Haishan Restaurant. The top floor was reserved by Count Auger to entertain Hayashi River and Fowler.
In the Count's words, he and Mr. Fowler hit it off the moment they met, and he even gained a new understanding of the mechanical field from Mr. Chuan.
"What do you mean by a new understanding?!"
At the banquet, Lin Chuan shook his head as he looked at Count Auger, who was surrounded by a group of beautiful women. This was the result of his previous investigation. Count Auger was not interested in women, but he was in love with Beya, and he married her.
Now, it seemed that there was a reason why Count Auger was not interested in women before. He did not have the ability to do so.
Hayashi River looked at the dancing crowd at the banquet and politely rejected the various women who came to invite him to dance. The mechanic was wearing a mechanic's robe, which meant that he had no intention of dancing.
Hayashi River actually wanted to join this kind of banquet and relax as much as he wanted. However, the premise was that he was not in Shi Haishan City, where he was surrounded by enemies.
Now, Hayashi River's goal was to sit aside and observe the people at the ball.
At this moment, he heard a light laugh …
"Hehehe …"
Not far away, Madam Hu stood in the shadows. Her aura was barely discernible, making it difficult to detect her.
This cold beauty held a glass of wine and looked at Beya, who was sitting on the sofa with an ashen face. She smiled maliciously.
Madam Hu turned her head and looked at Hayashi River. She raised her wine glass and toasted him to express her gratitude.
Hayashi River nodded slightly, but he did not raise his glass. He was drinking a soft drink. He did not want alcohol to interfere with his sober thoughts.
"Mr. Chuan. It's so boring to sit here alone … "
Madam Hu walked over and sat beside Hayashi River. She crossed her long legs, which made her slender figure look even more slender.
"There's an experiment to be done tonight. If it wasn't for Mr. Algernon's invitation, I wouldn't want to attend such an event."
Hayashi River replied with a smile. He acted as if they had just met not long ago.
However, a barely audible whisper reached his ears. "I just found out that the purpose of Count Augernon inviting you to a banquet was not just to get to know you, Mr. Chuan. He also invited a few important people in the city to pave the way for Mr. Chuan's smelting factory."
Hayashi River was stunned. He looked at Madam Hu in surprise. The latter was talking about something else, but the voice that came to his ears was indeed this woman's.
'Is this … ventriloquism? Or some other method … '
Looking at Madam Hu, Hayashi River was very curious about this method of telepathy. This woman was indeed the head of the intelligence organization in the Northern Region. She really had some tricks up her sleeves.
Hayashi River nodded to show that he understood.
Madam Hu chuckled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chuan, for punishing Beya. Do you have any arrangements for that bastard Ke Lilong? If you do, I won't do anything. "
Hearing this, Hayashi River was stunned. He thought to himself that a woman's vengeance was not something to be expected. Moreover, women were good at disguising themselves.
For the past two days, Madam Hu had been acting as if she had been wronged in front of Bayun, which made the men feel sorry for her. Whenever they were free, they would ask Hayashi River for advice on how to secretly kill Ke Lilong.
However, they did not expect that this woman had already been secretly preparing for her revenge.
Just when he was about to answer, Ke Lilong walked over with a bottle of wine. When he arrived in front of Lin Chuan, he did not say anything. He poured three cups of wine and drank all of them in one go.
He then poured another three glasses and apologized to Madam Hu.
"Miss Die, it was my fault for offending you a few days ago. I hope you can forgive me. Please forgive me. If the Northern Region's Shi Hai Club has any trouble in the future, feel free to look for me! "
Ke Lilong's face was flushed after drinking six glasses of wine, but his speech became more fluent and sincere. He looked so remorseful that he almost knelt down and apologized on the spot.
Hayashi River and Madam Hu were stunned. Both of them were smart, and they immediately understood what was going on.
Hayashi River and Fowler were at the top of the list of guests invited by Count Auger. Naturally, this news could not be hidden from Ke Lilong.
As the most powerful person in Shi Haishan City, Count Augernon had never written a name on the first column of the guest list he invited in the past.
Those who were qualified to appear at the top of the list were at least the direct descendants of the Northern Region's royal family. Those marginalized princes and princesses were not qualified to be included.
Now, Hayashi River and Fowler's names appeared at the top of the list. This gave Ke Lilong quite a shock.
Later on, Ke Lilong heard that Count Auger had made Mr. Chuan and Mr. Fowler his bosom friends. This made Ke Lilong even more shocked.
Before coming to the banquet, Ke Lilong was still thinking about how he should treat Mr. Chuan. He would definitely not treat him the way he did before, but rather humbly.
Also, he wondered if he should return the huge sum of money that he had just received. However, money could move people's hearts, and he had to spit out the meat that was already in his mouth. This made Ke Lilong's heart ache …
However, when he arrived at the banquet, he saw Madam Hu and Hayashi River sitting together and talking intimately.
Of course, the so-called intimately was based on Madam Hu's attitude towards men in the past. This woman would never sit half a meter away from a man.
Could it be that Madam Hu was relying on Mr. Chuan?!
This thought made Ke Lilong break out in a cold sweat. If that was the case, it would be terrible.
Immediately, Ke Lilong made a prompt decision. He brought a bottle of strong liquor over and apologized to Madam Hu. He hoped that this woman would not have pillow talk with Hayashi River. If Count Auger came to deal with him, he would be in big trouble.
Madam Butterfly snapped out of her daze and realized that Ke Lilong had misunderstood her. She snorted coldly, and there was anger in her voice. She admired Lin Chuan, but she was very displeased to be misunderstood, especially by a piece of trash like Ke Lilong.
Hayashi River thought for a while. He took the juice and said, "Miss Butterfly, Mr. Ke Lilong is a good business partner of mine. If there was any misunderstanding between the two of you, could you please forgive him for my sake …"
Before he finished his sentence, Madam Hu had already raised her glass and clinked it with Ke Lilong's, indicating that they had forgotten about what had happened.
As she said this, she exchanged glances with Hayashi River. Madam Hu was very perceptive, so she naturally understood what Hayashi River was implying. He meant that Ke Lilong was still useful, and when he was no longer useful, they could start killing.
"Miss Butterfly, you are so generous! Come, let me propose another toast to the two of you! "
Ke Lilong quickly poured another glass and clinked it with Hayashi River and Miss Butterfly. His heart was filled with jealousy. It was so f * cking unfair to compare oneself with others.
In the past, in order to please Madam Hu, he had used all kinds of methods. Later on, when he could no longer be gentle, he resorted to bullying others.
However, be it soft or hard, Madam Hu had never hesitated. He did not expect that after so many years, this icy beauty would fall for such a skinny young man.
Damn, what's so great about being a genius mechanic!
This kid is more interested in women than machines. How can Madam Hu get any pleasure from this kid …
Cursing in his heart, Ke Lilong squeezed the huge check in his pocket and sighed. If he were a woman, he would have made the same choice.
On the other side.
Beya was sitting on a leather chair, watching her husband Auger hugging his left and right. Beya was smiling happily, happier than when she was in bed with him.
"Men, hmph, men are all f * cking bad …"
Beya clenched her fists. She was so angry that she wanted to scream, but she still had to maintain the smile on her face and maintain the demeanor of a countess.
She could not lose her composure. If she lost her composure, she would embarrass Count Auger and the Stone Family. She would not be able to keep her position anymore.
Previously, she thought that no one could take away the title of countess from her, because her husband, Count Auger, was innately incapable in that aspect.
However, she did not dislike Auger at all. Instead, she was very gentle towards him, causing him to feel guilty.
Such days were a little boring when it came to matters between men and women, but she did not want to be too glamorous in other aspects.
However, the day before yesterday, that damned Fowler, that man, had cured Auger, and put her position in danger.
She knew very well that her husband was not lustful, but he had such power and regained his masculinity. Naturally, he would not set his eyes on her.
If she grew old in a few years, her position as the countess would be in danger …
While Beya was clenching her teeth, she saw Fowler standing in front of her. He was chatting with the guests around him. His elegant behavior was hateful in her eyes.
"Fowler, that son of a b * tch …" Beya screamed in her mind.
In front of her.
Fowler was very clear about Beya's reaction.
Beside him, Old Aidan moved closer and whispered, "That countess has been staring at you. Looks like she can't forget about you!"
"She can't forget about me. She's probably thinking about how to chop me up and feed me to the dogs …" Fowler said with a smile.
The two of them whispered to each other for a while. Suddenly, they stopped and looked at the door.
The door opened to the left and right. A handsome man with a jade-like complexion walked in while being surrounded by a group of people.
Suddenly, the music in the banquet stopped, and the guests all looked over. Count Augernon also broke free from the crowd of women.
"Third Prince, Brother Di, you're finally here. I almost fell asleep waiting for you!" Count Auger stood up and greeted them with a big smile.
"Brother Auger, you don't look like you're going to fall asleep …" The Third Prince also smiled and walked forward with his arms open.
Not far away, Hayashi River looked at the handsome man who was hugging Auger passionately. He knew that the main character of this banquet had arrived. He was the third son of the King of the North. In the North, he was only second to the Third Prince.
Hayashi River shifted his gaze and looked at the tall, dark-skinned man beside the Third Prince.
"Is this the Brother Di that Count Auger talked about? Is he also from the Royal City of the North? "
Lin Chuan asked Ke Lilong. Ke Lilong's expression changed slightly, and he drew closer to Lin Chuan to whisper something.
Hearing that, Hayashi River raised his eyebrows and smiled. It seemed like it was the right choice to get in touch with Count Auger. He met his target so quickly.
"Shi Di? Mr. Ke Lilong, this should be a common surname in your Shihai City, right … "Hayashi River seemed to be chatting casually.
