Others don't know who Young Master Ling is, but as soon as this person said that Yushu is near the wind, all eyes immediately converged.
Ling Shu and the speaker immediately became the focus.
Everyone naturally followed the sound to look at the speaker's appearance. Unsurprisingly, the appearance was plain, and it was inevitable that they would be disappointed after anticipation.
But when they looked at Ling Shu again, their eyes lit up.
In fact, Ling Shu and Yue Dingtang have just entered the door, and many ladies and ladies have secretly noticed him, but Ling Shu hides from the focus to the corner in a blink of an eye. Looking around, I didn't expect that when I looked back, the other party was in the dim light.
Compared with Yue Dingtang's calm and capable, many girls prefer Ling Shu's beauty and unrestrainedness.
When they saw Ling Shu for the first time, they would realize that beautiful is an adjective, not only for women.
There is a kind of beauty that is like a spring breeze and unforgettable.
Ling Shu's relationship with women has always been very good. Even when he goes to the dance hall, there are dancers who give tips. Even Ling Yao and Yue Chunxiao, two people who don't deal with him, can temporarily put aside their prejudice for him. Although the occasion is different, Wan Wan. Unchangeable.
This moment is no exception.
Lin Dingkang was a little surprised by the effect of this unintentional planting of willows.
He knew that Ling Shu was born well, and that convenience was the focus of female students after dinner and dinner, but now he has no disability. Instead, after years of precipitation, his stature is much taller than he remembered.
"Long time no see, Ling Shu, are you okay?" He took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Very good." Ling Shu took out his hand for the cake and shook it with him.
"I heard that you went to study in France a few years ago, and I haven't heard the news since then. I thought you stayed there and settled there." Lin Dingkang took two glasses of wine from the waiter and handed him a glass. "When did you come back? Don't ask old classmates out for a drink."
Ling Shu raised his glass and said, "It's better to hit the sun if you choose another day, why don't we drink it now?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "You are still so humorous! Talents like you must be doing well now, right? Did you get a high degree in the consulate, or did you join the government?"
Ling Shu shrugged: "I'm just a little policeman in Jiangwan District."
Lin Dingkang didn't believe it: "How is it possible, someone like you has to be a deputy director anyway?"
Ling Shu smiled and said, "My dad passed away."
It was only then that Lin Dingkang remembered that since Ling Shu's father passed away, the Ling family had plummeted, and the river had gone downhill. Ling Shu is still the same Ling Shu.
However, being invited to attend this kind of occasion must have something to do with the twists and turns. If you are down today, you may not be down tomorrow. Lin Dingkang has worked for several years, and he has seen many political figures ups and downs. Looking down on Ling Shu, not to mention the talent of the other party, if he was spotted by some famous family tonight, wouldn't he immediately fly to the branch
You must know that at the time, a certain chairman was also able to reach a higher level because of his marriage with the Song family.
He was about to say two words of relief, to clear up a little embarrassment, but suddenly there was a voice next to him.
"Dingkang, what are you doing here? Whose son is this, please introduce?"
The visitor's tone was frivolous, but when Lin Dingkang turned his head unhappily and saw who the other party was, he knew that this person naturally had frivolous capital.
Shen Shiqi, of course, his real name is not Shiqi, but because he is ranked 17 in the Shen family.
This family has a large population and a large number of talents, including scholars and businessmen. Shen Shiqi's uncle is in the Nanjing government, and the official position is not small. , has recently become a popular celebrity.
Shen Shiqi himself is also in business, and he is engaged in import and export trade. The Shen family has a great business. After the capital accumulation reaches a certain level, it doesn't matter whether Shen Shiqi has extraordinary business acumen, as long as he is not stupid enough to be angry, If the qualifications are at the level of ordinary people, there will be no loss.
The people around him are naturally like the stars holding the moon, and they praised the seventeenth son a lot, which caused Shen Shiqi to expand and float. At the banquet tonight, celebrities gathered, and only one or two of them could catch his eye.
Lin Dingkang's work was obtained through his uncle's relationship, and Shen Shiqi didn't even take him seriously, speaking casually, such as instructing the servants at home.
Lin Dingkang raised a smile: "Why did Mr. Shen come here, I just met an old classmate, and we are talking about the old days!"
Shen Shiqi raised his chin and nodded to Ling Shu.
"Isn't it the consulate where you are doing the translation?"
Isn't this referring to Sang and scolding Huai? Lin Dingkang was upset, but he didn't show it on his face, and he still enthusiastically introduced them to the two.
"My middle school classmate, surnamed Ling, only named Shu. This is Shen Shiqi, the famous son of the Shen family!"
He deliberately emphasized the words "famous", because he was afraid that Ling Shu would accidentally offend the noble.
"Hello, Young Master Shen."
Ling Shu was really good enough, and immediately stretched out his hand.
However, Shen Shiqi looked at him slowly, but didn't move.
Lin Dingkang snorted immediately, thinking that the surnamed Shen was here to make trouble
Sure enough, Shen Shiqi ignored Ling Shu, but looked at Lin Dingkang.
"You classmate, do you rely on your face to eat?"
Lin Dingkang let out a haha: "Young Master Shen is really humorous, Ling Shu is now working at the police station!"
"Oh?"
Shen Shiqi raised his eyebrows and lengthened his tone: "Looks like a little white face. Instead of being a movie star, what kind of police are you going to be? Come, let me introduce you—"
He pulled the beauty beside him, "You must all know this, the movie star He Youan, who has become famous recently, probably heard of it all over Shanghai. She admires you very much, and asks her to introduce you to a job and keep you safe. Hong, you don't need to be a police officer anymore, how much can you earn that month!"
Lin Dingkang had long recognized that his female companion was He Youan.
Not only him, but also the guests at the meeting, there are not many who do not know each other.
There were celebrities and young sons who liked her in the past to ask her for autographs. He Youan refused to come and signed a lot. He didn't put on the air of a big star, and he didn't talk much. He followed Shen Shiqi every step of the way.
Beauty is beautiful, after all, it is a plaything.
Acting is still an unpopular industry these days. Although He Youan is famous, on this occasion, he can only attract attention because of his beauty and fame. Shen Shiqi brings her, more like a precious vase to show off.
When He Youan heard Shen Shiqi's words, he smiled and whispered, "Don't be joking."
Shen Shiqi hugged her slender waist and said proudly: "Didn't you say he was born beautiful? With such a skin, wouldn't it be a pity not to benefit the public?"
Lin Dingkang heard his hostility and hurriedly smoothed things out: "Ling Shu becomes a policeman, patrols the law and order, stabilizes the order, and arrests all those thieves and bad guys, so that we can go out with confidence, this is also for the benefit of the public!"
He said to Shen Shiqi again, "Ling Shu is also a scholar who has studied abroad. In the past, when he was in school, his grades were top-notch!"
Those who can go abroad to study these days, except for public students, must have some background. Lin Dingkang's words are reminding Shen Shiqi to leave some room for everything.
Unexpectedly, Shen Shiqi didn't buy it at all.
"Staying abroad? Hmph, these days, I can borrow some money from relatives, and I can go abroad to work and study. I don't know what I have learned, but the son of a dragon, a phoenix, and a mouse still have to dig holes? Mr. Ling is a talented person. I think being a police officer is really a waste of money. If you don't want to be a movie star, I have a friend who recommended it to you. He likes young, beautiful and motivated young people like you. If you are willing to go to him How many years do you have to work for your subordinates and keep more than you have been a police officer for ten years, what do you think?"
He stared at Ling Shu with a pair of eyes, and he was only satisfied when he saw the embarrassed expression on his face.
But Ling Shu looked as usual, and slowly drank the champagne in his hand before opening his mouth.
"Thank you Mr. Shen for your kindness. This job sounds good, but it's a pity."
Shen Shiqi was unhappy: "What a pity?"
Ling Shu: "Unfortunately, I still have a murder case on my back. There are three lives in the case, and those three unjust souls are constantly haunting me day and night, how can I—"
He smiled faintly at Shen Shiqi, gloomy and creepy, and even walked towards him.
Shen Shiqi subconsciously took two steps back.
"How can I go to harm others and take more lives?"
"The policeman surnamed Ling... You are Du Yunning's childhood sweetheart?!"
I don't know which one's daughter daughter gave a coquettish cry, drinking Ling Shu's identity.
Everyone's color changed, and they retreated, fearing that Ling Shu would stab him if he slowed down.
All of a sudden, a large open space spread out around him like a tide.
"What happened?"
The Chinese words with a foreign accent drifted into their ears, and many people knew that this was the host of the banquet, and they all gave in.
Most people are watching Pence.
Ling Shu was looking at Yue Dingtang next to Peng Si.
The two looked at each other, and their eyes exchanged silently.
Ling Shu: Is it fun to watch the play for so long
Yue Dingtang: It's okay, I thought I could see you at a loss, but it was a little less exciting.
Ling Shu finally knew why he hated Yue Dingtang so much when he was in school.
It's not because this guy is robbing him of women, or because he compares himself with him from grades to family background, but because he shows this expression from time to time, like a smile, a mockery, a mockery, which makes people think at first sight. Put a big wine bottle on his forehead and smash that face to a pulp before talking about it.
The older he gets, the more conspicuous his slapped appearance becomes.
Shen Shiqi came back to his senses, and immediately his face sank, and he was a little annoyed that Ling Shu dared to intimidate him.
His family background was there, and he was not intimidated by the British and American consuls, so he immediately questioned him.
"Mr. Burns, your banquets are noble and elegant. They are all haunted by the high class people. When did you even let a murderer in? I heard that he is still a policeman? I remember that Director Huang of the City Bureau was here tonight. Come on, Director Huang, don't hide behind the crowd, come and tell us!"
Director Huang looked embarrassed, never thought that he would be forced to show his face under such circumstances.
"This, Mr. Shen, you are embarrassing me. Du Yunning's case happened in the concession, but I don't care about it. Besides, there are so many people under me, how can I know a small policeman in a district?"
It was cold outside the window, and the heating inside the house was so warm that Director Huang almost took out his handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead.
Shen Shiqi smiled and said, "So, Director Huang is trying to shirk his responsibility?"
Director Huang didn't want to offend Shen Shiqi for a small person, so he naturally said no, and looked at Ling Shu again.
"come here!"
Ling Shu was full, put down his wine glass, walked over, and saluted.
"Hello, Chief, Ling Shu of the Jiangwan District Police Station is reporting to you!"
Director Huang had a calm expression on his face, and the unpleasantness of losing face in public naturally took his anger on him.
"How did you get in here!"
Ling Shu: "Report to the director, someone brought me here. Before he came, he told me that you would be there too, and I said, I am carrying a suspicion on my back now, so I have to stay in the patrol room, let alone cause you trouble. But the man said that no one here can refute his face tonight. Chief, you have to be polite when you see him, so I believe it. Who knows that this man is also open-mouthed, so Mr. Shen will not look at him at all. face?"
Yue Dingtang: …
He just watched the play for a minute, and Ling Shu was able to dig a hole one meter deep for him.
Director Huang: "Who? Who said that! Let him come out!"
"I brought him here."
Yue Dingtang finally stood up.
He smiled at Director Huang: "My surname is Yue, my brother Yue Dingqin, who worked in Shanghai in his early years, should know you too."
Director He Zhi Huang knew the name Yue Dingqin, and most of the people present should know it.
Director Huang's expression suddenly changed, from anger to shock, embarrassment to panic, in just a few seconds.
"It turned out to be the second young master of the Yue family!"
Yue Dingtang smiled: "My second brother went north."
Director Huang snorted: "It's the third son of Yue. Brother Ling and I had a good relationship back then. Unfortunately, since he went to Nanjing, we seldom contacted each other, and today it is considered a fate!"
Yue Dingtang nodded, regardless of whether what he said was true or false.
"Let me introduce, this is the consul general of the US consulate in Shanghai, Mr. Pence, this is the director of the city police, Huang, who was promoted to the post recently because of his outstanding performance."
Director Huang quickly straightened his tie, stepped forward and stretched out his hands, leaning slightly.
"Mr. Burns, I'm Huang Qi, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Peng Si shook hands with him reservedly, and his eyes fell on Ling Shu and Shen Shiqi.
"I heard that there were some misunderstandings here, and it's all resolved now, right?"
Although Shen Shiqi was not afraid of Americans, he was not so foolish as to make a fuss on other people's territory.
He was originally disliked by Ling Shu and wanted to teach the other party a lesson. Usually, in such trivial matters, in the end, the other party bowed down to him to apologize and beg for mercy. As for whether he was willing to spare his life or not, it was up to Shen Shiqi's mood.
But this time the story went out of his control.
"It's resolved, it's all a small misunderstanding." Shen Shiqi said reluctantly.
Pence nodded, but regardless of his unnatural expression and reluctance, he immediately turned to chat with others.
"Mr. Pence, this is my old friend and classmate, Ling Shu. Like you and me, he is a student studying in France. Although he is implicated in a case now, there is already evidence to prove his innocence. "
Now that he has come forward, Yue Dingtang simply formally introduced Ling Shu.
Peng Si nodded and smiled, stretched out his hand, and said a word to Ling Shu.
Ling Shu paused and replied.
Director Huang was at a loss. He pulled Lin Dingkang next to him and asked, "What are they talking about? English?"
Lin Dingkang: "It's French. The consul said, I believe the truth will make the gentleman innocent. Ling Shu replied thank you."
Director Huang scratched his head: "It's really a foreigner, so why did you run to be a little policeman?"
Lin Dingkang didn't mind pulling the old classmates, so he said: "You don't know, the Ling family was also famous in the early years, but later the family fell down. Isn't this person who has three disasters and six lucks!"
Director Huang was stunned. "It's rare and rare, and you can still be angry and try to be strong in the face of changes. He is really a good young man, and he should be praised!"
Lin Dingkang smiled without saying a word.
How could being a little policeman be related to making anger and trying to force? I am afraid that the final relationship will still fall on Yue Dingtang, but when Director Huang said so, he just listened to it, and Lin Dingkang thought about going to Yue Ding later. Tang Lala's relationship with an old classmate.
There was a storm, thunder and rain, and the host of the banquet didn't care. The others naturally pretended to forget Ling Shu's identity as a suspect, not to mention his appearance and temperament, which was enough to make people feel less wary and get close to him.
Some more courageous ladies and gentlemen also took the initiative to chat with him.
The only person present who felt ashamed and annoyed was Shen Shiqi.
Although He Youan next to him was quiet from beginning to end, he always felt that people from all directions were snickering and mocking him.
"What are you laughing at?" He suddenly looked at He Youan and asked coldly.
The other party was listening to Yue Dingtang and the others chatting, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
He Youan was named, with an unexpected look on his face, and hurriedly retracted his smile: "Mr. Shen, I didn't smile."
Shen Shiqi snorted coldly: "Don't think that if I bring you here, you will be able to climb the high branches. In their eyes, no matter how popular you are, you are still a low-level actor!"
His voice was loud enough that everyone around him could hear him.
He Youan's face turned pale, biting her lips tightly, as if controlling her emotions.
Ling Shu was about to speak, but Yue Dingtang held down his shoulder.
He met Shangyue Dingtang's eyes, the latter was unhappy, but his hand never moved.
The meaning is obvious, let him not mind his own business.
He Youan and them are not relatives and not related, and they do not understand the relationship between her and Shen Shiqi, so rashly, it may not be a hero to save the beauty, but may be a joke.
However, Ling Shu still moved.
In front of He Youan, there are more pen and paper, and a beautiful hand.
"Miss He, my sister is your fan, can you sign my name for me?"
"sure!"
He Youan hurriedly took the pen and paper, smiled at him, and hurriedly signed his name.
"Do you need me to write a blessing to Sister Ling?"
Ling Shu: "It would be even better if it is convenient. My sister's name is Ling Yao, far away, I wish her good health."
He Youan quickly wrote it, and the handwriting is beautiful, and it can be seen that he has practiced.
"Write me one too!"
"I also want!"
"Sign a few more, I'll take it as a gift!"
Seeing that the young lady and the young man on the side were still able to play like this, they quickly took out the book they had just signed by He Youan.
The people who crowded up suddenly pushed Shen Shiqi to the periphery.
The latter stared at Ling Shu for three seconds, then turned and left, believing him completely.
"There is an enemy out of thin air."
Ling Shu was about to turn around to get the wine, when Yue Dingtang's voice sounded from behind.
"Shen Shiqi is arrogant and domineering, and he does things out of the way. If you stand out for the beauty, will the beauty be grateful and promise her?"
Ling Shu didn't answer, and bent over to examine the taste of each wine.
"Apple, or orange?"
Yue Dingtang: "... oranges."
Ling Shu handed him a glass of orange fruit wine, while he took a glass of apples.
"When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help. Isn't this what a gentleman does? It doesn't matter if the beauty is grateful or not. Mr. Burns can see it in his eyes. Didn't you see him expressing appreciation to me just now?"
Yue Dingtang raised his eyebrows: "No matter how much Pence can't control the police station, what's the use of impressing him?"
Ling Shu: "The suspect must do two more good things. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of your original intention of bringing me here? Well, I'm going to curry favor with Director Huang now."
After all, he really picked up the glass, and Shi Shiran walked towards Director Huang.
"If I hadn't taught you that thank-you French just now, would you still handle Burns?"
Yue Ding and Tang Youyou asked.
Ling Shu didn't turn his head back, just raised his hand and waved towards him, making a goodbye gesture.
Yue Dingtang narrowed his eyes.
With the foreshadowing ahead, Director Huang really looked at Ling Shu differently.
Director Huang is a rude person. To be able to climb up to the position of the director depends on flattery and luck. He does not fit in with the literati and celebrities here. He just wants to flatter, but people are not interested in listening to him. When it comes to delicacies from the north and south of the river, and chat about recent cases, we can actually chat very happily.
It wasn't until Director Huang went to the bathroom that another coquettish guest came to the balcony.
"I'm really sorry, Young Master Shen didn't deliberately target you just now. It's just because I praised you in front of him that he was dissatisfied. Speaking of which, it's all my fault."
He Youan sincerely apologized, and even leaned slightly towards Ling Shu and bowed.
Ling Shu raised his glass: "It doesn't matter, it is every gentleman's duty to save the beautiful lady."
He Youan really laughed.
Ling Shu tapped her lips to remind her: "Your lip makeup is a bit spent."
He Youan hurriedly took out a small mirror and lipstick, and started to touch up her makeup with the chandelier on the balcony.
Suddenly, Ling Shu saw the lipstick in her hand.
Lightning flashes, memories are intertwined, as if something suddenly flashed.
The truth is hidden behind the heavy fog of night, waiting for him to capture.
"Your lipstick?"
He Youan looked up and saw Ling Shu staring at her lipstick and couldn't help but smile.
"What, do you want to buy it for your girlfriend? This is Danqi's new lipstick, rose red. This color number is available in limited quantities, and the packaging is different from other colors. I'm afraid you can't buy it now. If you want something else Color, I still have a few unopened ones, I bought them before, and I can send them to you later."
Ling Shu: "Limited sale, is it expensive?"
He Youan: "It's the same price as other colors, but it's hard to buy. It was sold out on the day of the sale. I also asked someone to get it."
Ling Shu: "When did it go public?"
He Youan: "I heard that it was released in Europe and the United States three months ago, but it takes time to ship to China. It was released on January 25th."
January 25, the New Year's Eve.
That is, after Du Yuning's accident.
The lipstick in He Youan's hand is exactly the same as the one dropped by the maid Alan at Yuan's house.
But Alan said that it was given to her by Du Yuning.
Du Yuning was already dead at that time, did he not forget to give lipstick to the maid when he was a ghost
Therefore, Alan must be lying!
While thinking about it, Yue Dingtang suddenly walked in.
"Now go to the arrest room with me immediately!"
