Chapter 2037: Always Feeling Something Is Not Right

Luan Xianning didn't believe in Feng Shui secret arts at all, so he didn't care for Ye Chen either, just saying with a smile on his lips, "Good, good, good. Since Master Ye says so, I'll support you if there's a chance."

Ye Chen saw that he didn't care for him, and the polite words were just going through the motions. If this guy really wanted to invite him to look at Feng Shui, he wouldn't pay him any mind at all.

So-called social interaction was just like this ghost of a thing: clearly looking down on the other party, yet having to show a measure of admiration, saying "if you have anything, just speak" on the lips, while in the heart wishing the other party would never contact them again.

Therefore, Ye Chen simply said, "Sorry, Mr. Luan, my schedule is quite full recently. If you really have needs in terms of Feng Shui, I can help recommend other Feng Shui masters to you."

Luan Xianning didn't expect Ye Chen to speak so bluntly, and felt somewhat unhappy in his heart, secretly thinking, "I'm just being polite to you to give you face, and you actually took it seriously? Do you think I would really invite you to look at any Feng Shui for me?"

Therefore, Luan Xianning gave two dry laughs and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Since Master Ye doesn't have time recently, let's talk about it next time there's a chance."

When saying this, Luan Xianning was thinking in his heart, "This kid is probably a charlatan. I must find time later to remind Qiuyi properly not to fall for such a scammer's tricks."

Fei Haoyang said with a smile at this time, "The banquet will start in a moment. Why don't we go in first? We have prepared a VIP lounge for Miss Gu. Miss Gu, please condescend to rest there for a moment, and then appear after the banquet starts, so as to give the other guests outside a surprise."

As he spoke, Fei Haoyang added, "Except for the three of us, the other two hundred-plus guests don't know that Miss Gu is tonight's mysterious VIP. I believe that when Miss Gu appears, it will definitely cause a huge sensation."

Gu Qiuyi had long known his arrangements, so she didn't have any objections, nodding gently and saying politely, "Thank you for your hard work, Young Master Fei."

Fei Haoyang laughed, "This is what I should do."

As he spoke, he hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and said, "Miss Gu, please!"

Gu Qiuyi nodded. An American bodyguard stepped forward and said to Gu Qiuyi, "Miss Gu, we have already checked inside; it is very safe. Moreover, there are security personnel arranged by Young Master Fei inside, so we won't send too many people in. I plan to let six team members go in with you, and the rest will stand by at the front and back doors at any time."

Gu Qiuyi didn't suspect that there would be any problems with her safety, so she agreed.

Subsequently, Gu Qiuyi took Ye Chen, Chen Zhaozhong, and her assistant Chen Duoduo and followed Fei Haoyang and the others inside.

However, at this time, Hattori Kazuo was not immediately arranged near the VIP room Fei Haoyang had prepared for Gu Qiuyi, but was temporarily left in the back kitchen to help prepare drinks.

According to Hattori Kazuo's own plan, he would wait for Gu Qiuyi to enter the VIP room, then send one of his subordinates to accidentally spill red wine on the carpet near Gu Qiuyi's VIP room while delivering wine to the banquet hall. Then Chen Fu would come forward to arrange for others to quickly replace the stained carpet, and they would take the opportunity of changing the carpet to launch an attack on Gu Qiuyi.

At this time, Fei Haoyang and the others brought Gu Qiuyi and her party to the door of the VIP lounge. Fei Haoyang proactively opened the door and said to Gu Qiuyi, "Miss Gu, please rest here for a moment. Later, when the banquet officially starts, President Lu, Vice President Luan, and I will each give speeches. After we finish our speeches, we will announce the invitation of the mysterious VIP to appear. At that time, staff will come to notify you to wait for your turn."

"Understood." Gu Qiuyi didn't think too much, nodded and said, "Then I will wait here."

"Good!" Fei Haoyang nodded happily and laughed, "Then Miss Gu, go in and rest first; we will go to the front to prepare."

After Fei Haoyang and the others left, a bodyguard said to Gu Qiuyi, "Miss Gu, we have already checked the VIP lounge; there are no other passages, it is very safe, and there are no eavesdropping or recording devices. Please rest assured. The six of us will guard the door; if you have any problems, you can call me at any time."

Gu Qiuyi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's what I should do." The other party said, "By the way, Miss Gu, there are some drinks and desserts inside. For safety's sake, it is recommended that you do not consume them casually."

"Alright, I know."

After Gu Qiuyi finished speaking, she looked at Ye Chen and Chen Zhaozhong and said, "Uncle Zhong, Brother Ye Chen, let's go in and sit for a while."

After speaking, she looked at Chen Duoduo and said, "Duoduo, you come in and rest for a while too."

The four of them then entered the lounge.

As soon as Chen Zhaozhong entered the lounge, he began to look around.

Although the lounge was luxuriously decorated and the furniture was exquisite, he always felt that this place really lacked a sense of security.

Because this lounge had only one main door to the outside world, and apart from that, it was a completely enclosed space.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of room had excellent privacy, but once danger was encountered, this kind of room almost didn't possess any chance of escape.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry, always feeling that this charity gala and this enclosed room seemed to hide some unspeakable secrets.

Therefore, he asked Gu Qiuyi, "Miss Gu, how were you invited to participate in this charity gala?"

Gu Qiuyi said, "That Vice President Luan is an old acquaintance of my father. Because of this relationship, I reached a series of cooperation with the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce for the first few stops of this tour. A few days ago, Uncle Luan said that Young Master Fei wanted to cooperate with them to hold a charity gala and hoped that I could come to support it. I felt that the theme of this charity gala was quite meaningful, so I agreed." ===== CHAPTER 2038 =====
