The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 629: Birthday Turns into a Day of Mourning
Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Birthday Turns into a Day of Mourning
The terrain is Kun, its thickness carries myriad things.
Long Fei looked at Zhang Yuankun, thinking that his name really reflected his character.
He shrugged his shoulders, not giving an inch of face, and directly refused, "Sorry, I came in a hurry and only prepared two pills. Master, you should keep your formation for your own research!"
"You!"
Zhang Yuankun had not expected Long Fei to refuse him face like this.
In the South Yangtze, he was a top figure, even high-ranking officials and nobles dared not to disrespect him by refusing him something like this.
Having failed in his request, he immediately changed his expression, and his tone turned colder, "Young man, don’t be too inflexible. If you don’t give others respect, don’t expect others to give it to you."
His words were full of provocation.
People around were not fools, and naturally, they could hear the implication.
Long Fei burst into a calm laughter, "Face is earned by oneself, I don’t need you to give it to me. I live by my own heart, and do not need you to point fingers. Master Zhang, you are a bit narcissistic!"
"Arrogant brat, courting death!"
Zhang Yuankun stretched out both hands, looking like he was about to explode.
He Hongtao hurriedly stopped him, trying to mediate, "Gentlemen, today is my birthday. If there is any issue, let’s talk about it after today. Let’s not turn this into a farce here and become a joke in front of all the guests!"
Third Master Shen, having benefited from Long Fei, naturally had to give him some face.
He also spoke out, "Master Zhang, let it go for today. If you want to test your skills, we can arrange a time to meet privately."
Zhang Yuankun could ignore He Hongtao’s face, but he had to give Third Master Shen his due respect.
"You’re lucky today; I won’t bother arguing with you!"
He held his temper and went inside at the invitation of He Hongtao.
Lin Yingying couldn’t help but laugh, whispering in Long Fei’s ear, "That old guy is probably going to be pissed to death by you."
Long Fei curled the corner of his mouth and said, "He’s under the pressure of Ganoderma lucidum today; he might encounter misfortune. I won’t anger him to death, but someone else could kill him."
Lin Yingying’s expression tightened, and she did not speak again.
For others, it was a birthday party, but for them, it was a trap-laden banquet.
At this time, Sister Hong, clad in a black short dress, was already smiling and approaching them, calling out, "Brother Long and Director Lin really honor me by coming, please come inside!"
Long Fei playfully teased her, "Now that the gifts are delivered, we have other business to attend to and will not come in."
Sister Hong raised an eyebrow and wrapped her arm around his, "How could that be polite? You’ve come all this way, at least have a drink before you go!"
Without further ado, she alluringly pulled Long Fei along with her.
Lin Yingying watched, laughing to herself, thinking just how much Sister Hong wanted to kill them.
Her mental strength was truly formidable; even after her sister’s death, she could still greet with a smile.
If it were her, she would have already drawn her sword.
The group entered the decorated pavilion and sat down in the central seats at the front.
Although Master Zhang did not like it, he had no choice but to sit at the same table with Long Fei.
People around them came up one after another, proactively toasting to Third Master Shen.
Third Master Shen just slightly nodded, not returning the toast.
Even so, people still felt honored and happy as if they had eaten pistachios.
This is the charm of power and influence; even a person of no consequence can be treated like the star of the show because of it.
The guests had been hungry all morning, and as soon as Long Fei and his party entered, He Hongtao immediately arranged for food and wine to be served.
He circulated among the guests, waving and greeting with an air of pride, and was even pulled up on stage to deliver his own rags-to-riches speech.
Speaking of the past, his tears welled up, and the big man cried his heart out.
He pulled Sister Hong onto the stage, formally introduced her to the guests, and promised to officially marry her and give her a proper status in the future.
Long Fei looked over, and the look on Sister Hong’s face was indescribably awkward, but she endured it and stood by his side.
Seeing Master Zhang drinking sullenly, he couldn’t help but remind him, "Master Zhang, drink less. There’s poison in this!"
As soon as he had sat down, he had noticed something wrong with the drinks.
The poison was colorless and tasteless, not particularly potent, but rather something akin to a knockout drug.
It would be hard for ordinary people to detect.
But he was someone who had refined the bloodline of Bald Dog, and his nose was sensitive enough to even break down the molecular structure of odors.
Master Zhang choked, glared at Long Fei, and grunted, "Young man, are you deliberately making fun of me?"
There were just a few people at the table.
Startled, Third Master Shen asked Long Fei, "Are you saying He Hongtao is drugging us?"
Long Fei shook his head with a light chuckle, "Not Hong Ye, it’s Sister Hong by his side."
"Why?"
Third Master Shen was utterly confused. freewebnøvel_com
Master Zhang, not caring whether it was true or not, hurriedly circulated his energy, forcing all the alcohol out through the pores of his skin.
His skin immediately felt a tingling sensation, the corrosive effect of the poison once it solidified.
Master Zhang was extremely professional and whispered to Third Master Shen right away, "Third Master, there’s indeed something fishy with the drinks. This place is a trap, we should leave early, shall we?"
Third Master Shen, rolling a walnut, seemed rather interested as he watched Long Fei.
Without understanding the true circumstances, he was not inclined to leave.
In a low voice, Long Fei said, "That Sister Hong is one of the Dongying people; she deliberately set a trap today to kill those she disfavors. Fortunately, I happen to be one of them."
As he spoke, he picked up a cup of wine and drank from it, looking somewhat self-satisfied.
Master Zhang bulged his eyes, "Didn’t you say the drinks are poisoned?"
Long Fei smiled, "Yes, but I’m drinking my own wine. Hundred-year Moutai aged brew, would you care for some?"
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of Moutai and filled cups for Third Master Shen and Master Zhang.
Master Zhang’s face turned red, feeling like a monkey played by Long Fei, which was downright outrageous.
He had doubts about Long Fei’s words; if this place was indeed a trap, how could Long Fei be sitting here so peacefully?
But there definitely was something wrong with the drinks, which puzzled him, not knowing what these people were up to.
Lin Yingying, amused by his dilemma, thought to herself that her man was indeed calm and collected.
Sitting alone amidst the storm without being disturbed, he truly had the demeanor of a great leader.
Seeing Long Fei so composed, Third Master Shen didn’t feel there was much to fear either.
He did remind Zhang Yuankun, "Master Zhang, if you are afraid, you can leave first! With Brother Long here, I believe no demons or monsters can stir up big waves."
Master Zhang’s face flushed, and he straightened his back, "What are you talking about, Third Master? It’s just some Dongying youngsters, why would Zhang Yuankun fear them. With me, Zhang Yuankun, here, I can ensure everyone’s safety later."
"Excellent, then we shall rely on Master Zhang!"
Third Master Shen smiled, then turned his head and took a glance at Sister Hong.
At that moment, the guests below were clamoring for He Hongtao to kiss Sister Hong.
He Hongtao, with his brash personality, was egged on by the crowd, and just as he was about to embrace Sister Hong and kiss her,
suddenly he felt a chill in his stomach.
Blood spewed out, gushing like a burst water pipe, splattering all over the stage.
The smell of blood spread, freezing the smiles on everyone’s faces.
Master Zhang’s wine glass trembled, and he exclaimed in surprise, "This woman actually dares to kill?"
