The situation was tense now, and no one was allowed to leave the compound without Zheng Quanqiang's order. However, Gu Feng suddenly disappeared for an hour or two, which naturally aroused Zheng Quanqiang's vigilance.
Gu Feng replied calmly: "I'm going to find Liu Xiezi."
Not only did Zheng Quanqiang not relax, the gloom on his face became even more intense.
"What about the rest?"
There was no figure of Liu Xiezi behind Gu Feng.
"did not find."
"What do you mean not found?"
Zheng Quanqiang's voice suddenly rose, obviously very dissatisfied with Gu Feng's answer.
Facing Zheng Quanqiang's scrutinizing gaze, Gu Feng still had that indifferent expression.
"I searched all the surrounding alleys and places where he often went, but couldn't find it."
He was sure that no one else saw Liu Xiezi when he asked him to go out together, so he gave such a firm answer now.
Then he continued to explain: "The boss has ordered Liu Xiezi not to go out these days. When I came back, I noticed that he was not in the room, so I wanted to find him as soon as possible."
Zheng Quanqiang took a deep breath. He couldn't tell that he allowed Liu Xiezi to go out, and he could probably guess what Liu Xiezi went to do.
Looking at Gu Feng again, I couldn't find any evidence of lying on his face.
"Liu Xiezi has been with me for a long time, and he still behaves appropriately."
This sentence was told to Gu Feng, and also to the brothers beside him.
Gu Feng asked for instructions: "Are you still looking for it?"
"No need to look for him, he will come back naturally after handling his own affairs."
Liu Xiezi told Zheng Quanqiang that there was a traitor among them, and now Zheng Quanqiang is on guard and suspicious of everyone.
Even Gu Feng was no exception.
Zheng Quanqiang knew that Liu Xiezi had gone to arrest the woman. If he guessed correctly, the woman was related to the traitor. Now he was just waiting for Liu Xiezi to come back.
Gu Feng didn't speak anymore, just paying attention to Zheng Quanqiang's changing expressions.
He was not sure how much Zheng Quanqiang knew about Ye Ning, but judging from what Liu Xiezi had said to him before, it seemed that he had not yet had time to reveal his suspicions about him.
Now that Liu Xiezi is dead and he has disposed of the body, Zheng Quanqiang lacks Liu Xiezi as his right-hand man, and he is the only person around him who can be reused.
As night fell, Mu Wenhao's car finally drove into Fengcheng and arrived at the Red Sea Song and Dance Hall.
Ye Ning looked at the familiar streets and the feasting and feasting of the dance hall, and felt a strange feeling as if it was a lifetime ago.
"I'm a little tired today. Can I take another day off and go on stage tomorrow?"
She didn't move and discussed with Mu Wenhao.
Today was really thrilling for her, and coupled with the long journey, she really felt indescribably tired.
Mu Wenhao just glanced at her lightly.
"get off."
Ye Ning was helpless to the extreme.
She actually expected Mu Wenhao to be considerate to others. Mu Wenhao traveled thousands of miles to find her just to get her to come on stage quickly and make money for him.
He sighed resignedly and dragged his tired body out of the car.
"What are you doing over there?"
Just as she was about to go to the back door, Mu Wenhao's voice sounded again.
Ye Ning paused and looked at him doubtfully.
Mu Wenhao ordered with a half-smile: "Go to the main entrance."
Ye Ning's breath froze, and his eyes immediately became defensive.
She knew very well that her current appearance would not affect the effect of the stage performance, and would even increase the popularity of the dance hall by showing her face.
But she hid her identity not only because of her appearance, but also because she was a military wife.
If people find out that she is Ye Zi, the mainstay of the Red Sea Song and Dance Hall, I am afraid that not only the work of the art troupe will be affected, but also many other problems may be implicated.
So she must not reveal her identity.
When Mu Wenhao saw her alert and serious gaze, he already knew what she was thinking.
"I won't hurt you, let's go."
After saying that, he couldn't help but grab her wrist.
Ye Ning's whole body felt bad and she quickly pulled her arm back.
"I can leave by myself."
Mu Wenhao looked at his palm suspended in mid-air and Ye Ning's expression of resisting alienation, his eyes swaying slightly for a moment.
But he quickly adjusted his attitude and took big steps to signal Ye Ning to come in with him.
This time is when the dance hall is most lively and busy. The dance floor is already full of people and there are gorgeous dance performances on the stage.
Under the dim light, Ye Ning followed Mu Wenhao, and soon the two of them arrived at Mu Wenhao's exclusive box.
The box is semi-enclosed, with excellent location and view, and there are bodyguards standing all around, which can fully ensure the safety of the box and the privacy of conversations.
Mu Wenhao sat down gracefully and then snapped his fingers.
The waiter understood immediately.
Ye Ning couldn't guess what kind of medicine Mu Wenhao was selling in his gourd.
"Sit down quickly, if you don't want to attract attention." Mu Wenhao reminded calmly.
It is a very common thing for him to sit here with his friends or women.
Ye Ning had no choice but to sit down.
Fortunately, this box was very spacious, and the distance between her and Mu Wenhao was far away.
"Haha." Mu Wenhao actually laughed happily. This was the first time that a woman didn't touch his body.
Ye Ning glanced at him, "Boss Mu, what do you want to do?"
"Let's eat. We've been on a long journey, and I haven't eaten since I set off in the morning, so I'm hungry. You must be hungry too, right?"
Although he was asking, Mu Wenhao's tone was completely affirmative.
The muscles at the corners of Ye Ning's mouth twitched slightly. Are you eating here with him? Is he afraid that others won't know that they are related?
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"I brought you back from the capital, and this is how you thank me?"
Mu Wenhao's rhetorical question made Ye Ning pause again.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Ye Ning increased his voice, something was really wrong with Mu Wenhao now.
Mu Wenhao's burning gaze met hers, as if he wanted to involve her in it.
This was the first time Ye Ning saw this man showing such an expression.
This is clearly the look of a man possessing a woman.
This shocking and absurd idea made her feel that she must be crazy.
"New Year's benefit. Invite my employees to dinner. You used to stand on top. Wouldn't it be nice to watch the show as a guest today?" Mu Wenhao put on his usual aloof face again, speaking half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Ye Ning's brows were still furrowed tightly.
Mu Wenhao converged his gaze and said matter-of-factly: "Now you are my pillar, and this is the treatment you deserve."
Ye Ning looked at his arrogant and arrogant look, and the thoughts he just had disappeared instantly.
For a profit-seeking businessman like Mu Wenhao, both she and Tang Wanru were just tools used by the other to make money.
