It was only 8 o'clock when we arrived at the venue.
However, because today was a special birthday celebration for Duke Mus, the entire venue was already bustling with activity.
Bai Lang took out the invitation and entered the venue with Bai Suye. Before entering, Bai Suye looked around and did not see anyone from Ye Xiao and his group.
"It's still early. I'm afraid Night Owl and his men haven't arrived yet." White Wolf whispered.
"Where are our people?"
"They've been deployed outside. If there's any movement inside, they'll rush in immediately."
Bai Suye nodded and looked at Bai Lang seriously, "Don't forget what you promised me."
"Okay, I remember - we must not hurt Night Owl no matter what." White Wolf repeated, and then said: "You are still worried about Night Owl. As for him, we should be thankful that he doesn't hurt the two of us."
"Don't worry, as long as you don't confront them head-on, Night Owl will never hurt you."
"I hope so." White Wolf was not as sure as she was.
Two people, arm in arm, entered the venue. They were not from T country, so they didn't know anyone in the venue. However, the person surrounded by the crowd in the center should be Duke Mus.
Bai Suye and Bai Lang paid no attention to anything else and just observed the location of the entire banquet.
After Bai Lang went to the bathroom, he came back with two glasses of wine and whispered in her ear: "Room 701 in the northeast corner should be the room where Ye Xiao and his team signed the contract. I just saw it from a distance. People from the other two countries should be waiting upstairs, and they are surrounded very closely."
White Wolf said: "With just the two of us, I'm afraid there is no chance of getting in."
"You don't have to go in." Bai Suye said calmly.
"How to say?"
"Will Night Owl be here soon? Just talk to him outside."
White Wolf looked at her suspiciously, "Do you think Night Owl really still trusts you so much? Are you going to give up after just a few words?"
His words brought a hint of bitterness across Bai Suye's face.
believe
In fact, he had never really been sure of her love for him, nor did he dare to believe her...
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her know the existence of the email address in a tentative manner.
Bai Suye didn't say this in front of Bai Lang. She just curled her lips and said, "Well, don't worry about it. Just leave it to me."
At this point, he probably still wants to know whether she will really shoot him in the end...
This has always been the most uncertain thing in his heart.
"So, when the Night Owl comes in later, we don't have to hide?" Just as White Wolf asked, he heard an uproar around him.
I vaguely heard someone come in and said to Duke Mus, "Duke, Mr. Night Owl is here!"
That name still made Bai Suye's heart tremble. Bai Lang almost instinctively dragged her to a corner. He lowered his head to look at her, and saw that her face was a little sad, and her eyes were staring blankly at the door.
All the lights gathered at the door in an instant. The majestic and luxurious door was slowly pushed open from the outside.
The moment that man appeared, all the lights in the venue were almost dimmed, but he also instantly made the originally lively venue lose some of its warmth.
Too cruel.
It is an innate coldness.
Even in such a social occasion, he had no intention of giving face to anyone. Facing the flattery from everyone, he remained expressionless and didn't even smile.
However, even so, countless girls in the venue still fell in love with his cool temperament. Moreover, his physique, build, and aura made women feel safe.
It seems that as long as he is there, I will not be afraid even if the sky falls.
"Mr. Night Owl, welcome, welcome!" Duke Mus put down his glass and walked forward with a smile on his face, "It's my honor that you can come!"
Ye Xiao politely shook hands with Duke Mus. Only in front of this old man did his expression soften. He glanced at Yu An who was standing beside him. Yu An solemnly handed a gift to Duke Mus, "This is a gift prepared for you by Mr. Fei and Mr. Ye Xiao. I hope you are in good health."
"It's good that you're here. The gifts don't matter." Duke Mus responded in a clear and cheerful manner. Some of his men had already taken the gifts.

From a distance, Bai Suye looked at the figure and did not take his eyes away for a long time.
Until, he was drowned by the crowd.
But he is always so dazzling.
No matter where her eyes fell, in the end, they would still drift uncontrollably to him. However, throughout the whole process, his eyes did not wander around, as if... he didn't even know she was there.
But he was Night Owl, and she believed that everything was under his control. The cameras in the venue must have locked onto her the first second she and White Wolf entered.
"Would you like something to drink?" Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Bai Lang took two cocktails from a passing waiter and handed one of them to her.
Bai Suye did not refuse and took a sip.
The cool liquid slid into her throat, burning it.
She looked at him again.
I could only see his back.
Two people, separated by layers of people, are actually so close... just a few inches away...
But, it's so far.
So far away that she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried...
She took a deep breath and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp. Then, she smiled charmingly at the waiter, "Do you have vodka? Please give me a glass of vodka."
White Wolf frowned, "It's already this hour, and you're still drinking such a strong drink."
The waiter looked at the two of them, not knowing whether he should take it or not. Bai Suye just said, "Go ahead, you can get two more cups."
Bai Lang knew that she was in a bad mood. No one would be in a good mood under such circumstances. But...
"White Wolf, do you know what good things can come from being drunk?"
Before White Wolf could speak, she spoke first.
White Wolf looked at her. She turned around and smiled, "When you're drunk, you won't feel any pain. Your heart won't hurt that much, and your body won't feel so..."
Even if the bullet passes through the chest, breaks the head, and blood and flesh fly everywhere, being drunk will at least alleviate the pain, right
Bai Lang's expression was stern. "What do you mean by that?"
At this moment, the waiter brought the wine over. Bai Suye drank two cups in a row, which even surprised the waiter. Bai Lang, who was standing by, cursed and tried to stop her from drinking the third cup.
At this moment, melodious dance music sounded on the field.
In the venue, pairs of well-dressed people slid into the dance floor. Night Owl sat quietly in the corner, expressionlessly rejecting many women who invited him to dance.
Bai Suye slowly put down the wine glass and looked at Bailang.
"White Wolf, I want to dance."
"Now?" White Wolf couldn't understand. What time was it now? "Will I accompany you?"
"No. I don't need you." Bai Suyue shook her head, opened her handbag, and took out the anesthetic needle.
