Chapter 427 It's a pity I didn't bring my fishing rod today.
They didn't go back to the venue after they came out, which naturally attracted attention.
The one who cared the most was Nangong Wang. Firstly, he hadn't gotten involved in this mess, and secondly, he had come here to have fun, so he felt it was a bit less enjoyable without his good friend by his side.
After checking his phone, Gong Yao greeted everyone and then walked out.
Sheng Hanyu didn't tell her the specifics of what happened, but only that they went straight back to their guest room to rest.
Even without being told, Gong Yao knew something must have happened, so he decided to leave first and go ask directly.
Anyway, she was already impatient.
"Yao Yao, wait a moment."
Although Nangong Wang was eager to have fun, he also remembered that this place was not very safe.
"Is anyone else going back? Shall we go back together?"
He first called out to Gong Yao, then turned to the others and asked.
“Then I’ll go back too,” Yun Shu said first, already tired of talking.
Instead of standing here, I'd rather go back and play a couple more games.
“Okay, let’s go together then,” Cheng Yiguan said.
Jiang Jueheng nodded.
"You guys go back first, I'll stay with Sister Yu and the others for a bit," Wen Shumo said. He had just finished replying to Ye Jin'er's message about Ye Wanyin's cheongsam.
That was indeed the work of a master who is now semi-retired and only makes two sets of clothes a year, yet it appeared on Ye Wanyin.
He began to doubt his own eyesight, after all, even if Ye Wanyin wore the work of a master, she would only be seen as a clumsy imitation.
“Alright then.” Nangong Wang glanced at Yu Canling, who was socializing with Fu Shaochen, and then turned his gaze to Ning Leyi and Cheng Yanye.
He had no intention of giving Cheng Yanye a friendly look.
Cheng Yanye didn't say anything, but silently stood behind Cheng Yiguan.
Of course he wanted to leave this place as soon as he could. Ye Sanqing and the others weren't here, and if his eldest sister wasn't here either, he would be finished in no time.
"I'll stay with my brother, you guys go back first."
After Ning Leyi finished speaking, he went towards Ning Xiuyuan's direction.
He had plenty of things to do in this situation, and he believed that even if there was danger, it wouldn't be his turn, so he wasn't worried at all.
Nangong Wang didn't really need to pay attention to the others, so he and the others went out together.
They were immediately noticed as soon as they left.
There are five heirs after all...
People who tend to overthink things will definitely overthink things at times like this, but after all, Yu Canling and the others are still around, and there haven't been any rumors of them collectively being dissatisfied with the Lu family yet.
Yu Canling had taken this into account, so even though she saw them preparing to leave, she pretended not to see them.
After all, she still has to deal with the Fu family, and it wouldn't do her any good to spread rumors of her dissatisfaction with the Lu family at this time.
With so many people, there was little risk along the way, and Gong Yao quickly reunited with Sheng Hanyu and the others. Currently, they were all in Ye Jin'er's guest room.
Yun Shu and the others went to play games with Nangong Wang, making a total of five people including Cheng Yanye...
Whether Lu Mingye specially arranged the accommodations for them or not, they were all in suites, which were basically the same as two-bedroom apartments, but they were all independent and separate small villas.
So, although it's described as a two-bedroom apartment, it's actually three to five times larger than a typical two-bedroom apartment.
Generally, many people who attend weddings bring their families, so most guests stay in family rooms, or slightly larger villas or suites.
For example, Wei Yunmei and Ye Tian lived in this type of place.
"He has good taste."
The first thing Gong Yao did upon entering the room was to scan the furniture and decorations inside.
This place is clearly different from the banquet hall; it's basically a minimalist modern style with sophisticated color tones.
That's normal; the venue was a renovated old building, while this small building must have been newly built.
Gong Yao guessed that Lu Mingye was in charge of this matter, which is why he said that.
Sheng Hanyu glanced at the lake outside the French windows and smiled, "It's a pity I didn't bring my fishing rod today."
These small villas are not only scattered, but even scattered across various islands in the artificial lake.
However, the complex they are in is located on a large peninsula, so it is also accessible on foot.
The lighthouse's glow could be faintly seen through the fog, suggesting that the Lu family owned a building on the central island.
"What a pity, otherwise it would have been nice to fish while waiting for news."
Ye Sanqing smiled.
"So what happened?"
Gong Yao noticed that Sheng Hanyu wasn't wearing a coat and asked her worriedly.
"Someone shot me."
Sheng Hanyu said, "Luckily, these clothes worked, otherwise you would have had to go straight to the hospital to see me."
"What! Has the situation escalated to this point?!"
Gong Yao was greatly surprised.
She knew very well that engaging in this kind of crime-fighting activity would almost certainly result in retaliation, but it actually escalated to the point of a gunfight.
"Where are the bodyguards? What happened?"
Gong Yao asked a question that Ye Sanqing hadn't asked earlier.
Ye Sanqing suddenly realized that he had been a bit careless, focusing only on checking their injuries and forgetting to ask this question.
"My goodness, we told them to stand further away so we could talk, but the fog was too thick and obstructed our vision, which allowed the assassin to take advantage of the situation."
Ye Jin'er said.
His arm injury didn't hurt much after it was treated, but it still made it difficult for him to move around.
"This assassin is pretty good at close combat, but luckily his marksmanship is poor... and his equipment doesn't seem to be complete either."
Thankfully, the sniper was on our side, not theirs!
Even after Sheng Hanyu finished speaking, she still had the energy to joke about it.
After all, although the situation was very dangerous for a moment, it's all over now.
"This won't do, I need to apply for an upgrade to the protection policy."
Gong Yao frowned, took two steps, and said.
"No rush, our business will be over soon, there's no need to waste our energy on this," Sheng Hanyu comforted her. "Besides, we have bulletproof vests, don't we?"
“But you…” Gong Yao was clearly still a little shaken.
If the assassin had been a better shot or was wearing night vision goggles, he would be finished by now.
"I have a suggestion: instead of protecting us, we should speed up the investigation."
Ye Sanqing pondered for a moment and then said.
The casino incident should be over by tonight. Without the Lu family's cooperation in China, Master Ying probably won't be able to take any action against them for the time being.
Moreover, they cannot simply passively respond; it is time to mobilize other forces to take action against Master Jiu's overseas casinos.
This is called a feint to the east while attacking the west.
At that time, the other party will be too busy taking care of their own problems to deal with domestic issues.
As for how to proceed, we'll have to wait and see how things go tonight.
At least Lu Wangshen will definitely come in handy.
And then there's the Fu family... Although Fu Sizhou's attitude is unclear, it's not entirely impossible to try communicating with them.
However, that depends on Fu Shaochen's efforts.
"Yes, I will try my best to cooperate."
Gong Yao understood Ye Sanqing's meaning. There were some things that the authorities couldn't directly do, which was the significance of their special operations team.
"I'm hungry now, do you want some midnight snack?"
Ye Jin'er suddenly said.
Everyone: Huh? It seems like we just finished dinner!
