This banquet is hosted by the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in this province. Once a year, basically people with heads and names in the province will attend.
Cheng Yu received invitations every year, but he never attended again after his first year as the Overseer.
There are two invitations sent to the Overseer's Mansion this time, one for the Overseer Cheng Yu, and the other for Staff Officer Du Yan.
When the two got out of the car, the people who stayed at the door to greet them panicked. They did not expect that Cheng Yu would attend the banquet for the first time ever.
But within a few minutes, the chairman of the chamber of commerce hurried out from the inside.
In this chaotic world, having money is nothing, and having power and soldiers is the kingly way. In front of Cheng Yu, the governor of a province, these wealthy businessmen were also frightened.
The president of the chamber of commerce came forward to greet him with a respectful smile on his face: "The Overseer is here today, and it's a shame to welcome him. I don't know you will come to the banquet, it's really rude."
Cheng Yu nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, I'm not the host and guest today."
The chairman of the chamber of commerce was stunned for a moment, and said repeatedly: "The Overseer is joking."
Cheng Yu glanced at Du Yan beside him, and said, "I came with my family's staff, and he just came back from abroad. I just brought him to get to know you famous celebrities."
When the chairman of the chamber of commerce heard the words, he knew the meaning of Cheng Yu's words: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, we are all just seeking a living under the military governor, and we are not celebrities."
After finishing speaking, he extended his hand to Du Yan first: "The former staff officer, I really admired him for a long time, please take care of him in the future."
After the greeting, Du Yan and the two walked into the venue under the guidance of the chairman of the chamber of commerce.
Cheng Yu and Du Yan did not wear suits. They both wore military uniforms, which were a bit out of tune with the luxury and comfort in front of them.
The moment Cheng Yu stepped into the venue, everyone stopped talking and said hello in Cheng Yu's direction.
Cheng Yu nodded slightly, and then led Du Yan to the secluded corner beside him.
Everyone knows Cheng Yu's character, if it wasn't for him to signal, he would not like to be disturbed. If you go up to show your hospitality at this time, it will only be self-defeating.
So the guests present continued their conversation, but their eyes drifted in the direction of Cheng Overseer from time to time, but if he showed a willingness to talk, he could go forward as soon as possible.
Cheng Yu and Du Yan stood aside, and told Du Yan in detail the identities and positions of everyone present and the industries they were involved in. He knew that Du Yan was not the type who sought refuge behind him.
Let Du Yan familiarize himself with the world and the current situation as soon as possible, which is the greatest protection. Cheng Yu knew that his son Yan was never a canary in a cage, but a proud son of heaven who could turn the clouds over the rain.
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu asked in a low voice, "How? Get in touch with them one or two?"
Du Yan nodded and said, "Yes."
Cheng Yu raised his head and looked at the long-awaited crowd. When those people saw Cheng Yu's expression, they knew what they meant, and came forward to introduce themselves according to their seniority and status.
But after one or two rich businessmen came, Cheng Yu felt something was wrong.
These wealthy businessmen are introduced by introductions, and they have daughters, sisters or nieces around them. What do they mean
Of course, these people knew Cheng Yu's behavior, but they didn't do anything to introduce these girls to Cheng Yu. However, their target is Du Yan.
Cheng Yu stood aside, his face becoming more and more gloomy. Du Yan didn't notice it, he just thought it was the customs of this world.
When a certain rich lady shyly and timidly expressed that she would leave the first dance tonight to Du Yan, Cheng Yu's face finally couldn't hold back.
Fortunately, after all, he has been in a high position for a long time, even though his eyes are almost overflowing with gloom, his face is still indifferent.
He just leaned into Du Yan's ear and whispered, "It's time"
Du Yan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Cheng Yu with some doubts, logically speaking, not so fast.
Cheng Yu went on to say, "In this case, it's better to be cautious."
Du Yan thought this was indeed the case. If he disappeared in full view, things would get worse.
He looked up and asked, "What should I do?"
Seeing this, Cheng Yu said to the wealthy businessman in front of him, "Sorry, we have something important to talk about."
After that, Cheng Yu left with Du Yan, and the rich lady's invitation was gently taken over.
Cheng Yu and Du Yan walked towards the most remote terrace, which faced the garden. The trees in the garden were dimly lit by the dim light, except for the clamor of people behind and the chirping of insects in front of them, there was nothing left.
After Cheng Yu closed the door leading to the terrace of the venue, there was only the sound of insects chirping between heaven and earth.
Du Yan leaned on the balcony railing and watched his movements, raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "What are you doing? It's mysterious."
Cheng Yu said, "It's better to be careful outside."
Before Du Yan could react, he saw Cheng Yu take two steps over, and then put his hands on the railing.
Du Yan frowned slightly. He is now almost completely trapped in Cheng Yu's arms. This strong sense of oppression makes him a little uncomfortable.
"you… "
Before Du Yan's questioning was finished, Cheng Yu's hot lips pressed down. He was startled, and subconsciously pushed Cheng Yu's chest, but was clasped by his backhand and brought into his arms.
The kiss that fell between the lips and teeth, instead of restraining, became more and more unrestrained.
Du Yan pushed and refused a few times, but the other party was unmoved, but instead involved him in a more intense emotional tide. Du Yan reluctantly maintained a bit of reason, opened his eyes and looked, but saw Cheng Yu's dark eyes that seemed to be invisible.
He frowned slightly, knowing that the person in front of him had been touched by a sensitive nerve for some reason, and he was completely on the verge of blackening.
Cheng Yu, who was still a proton at the time, has such a personality. He usually looks gentle, but once he is touched to the bottom line, he will become extremely strong.
Du Yan knew that Cheng Yu in this state was a little out of control, so he stopped trying to resist, and was ready to push Cheng Yu away when he calmed down.
I don't know how long it took, the turbulent aura on Cheng Yu's body subsided slightly, and everything was calm.
Cheng Yu still didn't back away, just pressed against Du Yan's lips and said, "I should be able to stick to it until tomorrow."
Du Yan turned his face away and said indifferently, "Let me go."
Cheng Yu also knew that she had done too much, so she let go of her hand obediently, and was about to say something when she heard a loud noise in the venue, followed by a panicked noise.
The ambiguous atmosphere disappeared with the loud noise.
With every shot in his hand, Cheng Yu opened the door and curtains to observe the situation inside.
"fine."
Du Yan heard the words and stepped forward. The two returned to the venue and found that a crystal lamp in the center of the hall fell down for some reason.
Amidst the chaos, many of the wealthy young ladies looked terrified, but fortunately, judging from the current situation, no one was hurt.
The chairman of the chamber of commerce repeatedly asked people to come up to clean up the mess, and let his subordinates be responsible for appeasing everyone.
Everything in front of him was so chaotic that when Cheng Yu appeared, he didn't even notice it, and only reacted after being reminded by others.
With guilt on his face, he walked up to him and said, "I made the Overseer laugh, and I don't know how the people below do things. Such a big safety hazard has not been checked out..."
Cheng Yu was not interested in what was in front of him, he said, "It's okay, I'm busy with official business. I will leave first with the former staff officer."
Cheng Yu said that he was going, but naturally no one dared to stop him. In addition, the accident had just occurred, and the president of the chamber of commerce had to send Cheng Yu and the two to the door in awe.
At this moment, the servant who cleaned up the mess came over with the garbage cleaned up. Those few people didn't know what was going on, so they came directly to Cheng Yu and the others.
The head of the chamber of commerce raised his eyebrows and was about to have a seizure, but when he saw those people slam the object on the ground, they touched the waist.
The battle-hardened Cheng Yu responded very quickly. As soon as those talents dropped things, he kicked the Chamber of Commerce president directly to help the other party escape, and then pulled Du Yan back and found a bunker to hide.
When the gunshots rang out, there was panic in the banquet venue where the singing and dancing were still peaceful.
Du Yan and Cheng Yu exchanged a few glances, then cooperated tacitly to find a perfect shooting angle, and began to fight the bandits.
The door of the banquet was closed by several bandits at the door, and the guards outside could not come in for a while to rescue. Right now in the banquet hall, Cheng Yu and Du Yan are the only ones with weapons. They cooperated well, and it didn't take long to knock down all the gangsters.
However, just when the situation was under control, something went wrong on Cheng Yu's side.
Du Yan was in the chaos, and he didn't see clearly how everything went right before. In short, the situation in front of him evolved into Du Yan pointing a gun at the front, and in front of him was the victim who was pressed by the gangster with a dagger on his neck. Yu.
Even under such circumstances, Du Yan's hand holding the gun did not tremble at all.
Perhaps the gangster holding Cheng Yu in captivity almost collapsed after seeing his accomplices fall one by one. At this moment, it looks like he is completely dead. His eyes are red, his forehead is full of sweat, and his voice is a little trembling.
"You, put your gun down, or I'll cut the Overseer's throat before I die."
Du Yan's brows moved slightly, he became an overseer? It seems that this assassination was completely aimed at Cheng Yu. These people knew Cheng Yu's identity and his importance.
Seeing Du Yan's unmoved expression, the bandits became more and more flustered, and said indifferently, "Put down the gun, or I'll cut his throat immediately! It's not a loss to be dragged as an overseer before he dies."
Du Yan's hand still didn't move, he was thinking about the probability of hitting the gangster and saving Cheng Yu. At this moment, he saw Cheng Yu's eyes.
It was as dark as the deepest sea bottom, with no light at all, and the expression on his face was very dull. Cheng Yu like this reminded Du Yan of that day many years ago.
In the heavy snow, Du Yan stood on the top of the city and pulled the bowstring towards Cheng Yu from afar.
At that time, he was about to shoot Cheng Yu in the shoulder, and the friendship between the two could be completely cut off by this arrow. However, in the end, he chose to shoot off Cheng Yu's jade crown.
At that time, Xiao Ba asked him if he was soft-hearted, but Du Yan only said it was just in case.
Now Du Yan suddenly felt that he might have been tempted at that time, and he would have uncertainty when he was tempted, so he changed his plan at the last moment.
It's just that his feelings have always been weak, and he didn't even notice this tinge of temptation.
The ultimate rationality was finally suppressed by emotion under this situation, Du Yan was a little uncertain in his heart, and there was a hesitant expression on his face.
At this moment, Cheng Yu's body moved, and her throat was cut with blood, and she took the dagger from the bandit's hand.
The situation reversed in an instant. Du Yan was that Du Yan after all, and when Cheng Yu moved, the gun in his hand rang, and the bandits fell in response.
The turmoil of the assassination of Overseer Cheng came to an end in such a near-miss, and the banquet naturally could not go on.
Cheng Yu's army quickly took control of the entire banquet venue, and all the guests were strictly interrogated, trying to find out all the masterminds in a short time.
After finishing everything, when Du Yan and Cheng Yu returned to the mansion, it was almost dawn.
After coming out of the military governor's mansion, Du Yan didn't look at Cheng Yu again, and didn't say a word. Entering the mansion, Du Yan also went straight to his room, completely ignoring Cheng Yu who was following behind, raising his hand to close the door.
Cheng Yu didn't do it, and stretched out his feet to reach the door of the house. He didn't know when to take off his coat, revealing the gauze around his neck.
The wound on his neck was not too deep. After disinfection, it was wrapped with gauze, and it would heal in a few days. This little injury is really nothing to Cheng Overseer.
However, he showed a pitiful expression and said, "My neck hurts a lot."
Du Yan glared at him and said, "If it hurts, take medicine, what's the use of talking to me?"
Cheng Yu added: "After a busy day, my body smells of sweat. I'm afraid that I accidentally touch the wound while taking a shower. If the wound gets infected, it will be troublesome. Can I ask you to do me a favor?"
Seeing the insistence on the other's face, Du Yan knew that it was impossible to keep this person out of the door right now. He took a few steps back, but he was not relentless to the man who followed.
"Even if you get infected, you brought it on yourself."
When Cheng Yu heard this, he couldn't help feeling guilty. He sneered and said, "As expected, I can take the son of the original country, Yan, and I will never be able to hide your little tricks from you."
That's right, the moment Cheng Yu made a move, Du Yan knew that Cheng Yu was deliberately held hostage. With Chengyu's scheming and skill, how could he capsize in the gutter when the situation is under control.
As for the purpose, if Du Yan guessed correctly, it might be because of the arrow he shot at Cheng Yu on the city wall.
After all, the Chengyu in front of him was reincarnated, not the emperor Chengyu who had experienced everything personally. His memory was incomplete. Perhaps it was the memory fragment of this arrow that made him doubtful.
And this doubt was the reason why Du Yan could not enter the next level of dream. Even because of this doubt, Cheng Yu came up with such a stupid way to test Du Yan.
Du Yan was about to laugh out loud at this rare person who became stupid.
