There is Definitely Something Wrong with This Game

Chapter 66: Third-rate detective drama (V)

Views:

Everything is normal.

There is nothing to be suspicious about.

Gu Moli originally thought that Li Caijin would stay in a room deep in the corridor until the case happened and would always be out of his sight, but what surprised him was.

It only took a few minutes.

Li Caijin sat in a wheelchair and left the corridor with the help of the old housekeeper.

Came in front of everyone.

In the top floor reception hall of the Gemini Tower, there is a wide variety of dishes and elegant waiters in suits. Everything looks magnificent and full of the atmosphere of the upper class. At this moment, the hall is already full of distinguished guests invited by Li Caijin.

Those who receive invitations are naturally the social elites.

What's more, they are in Guanghui City, and they actually know each other.

Some are colleagues.

Under this circumstance, the distinguished guests naturally gathered into small circles one after another. For a moment, the hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Gu Moli was like a ghost wandering away from everyone. He stood quietly in the corner of the hall, staring at Li Caijin with his eyes fixed.

As if he had noticed Gu Moli's gaze, Li Caijin suddenly turned his head to look at him, then gave him a gentle and kind smile. Then, with the help of the old housekeeper, Li Caijin came to the podium in the hall in a wheelchair, holding the microphone in his hand and coughed lightly:

"...Excuse me, everyone... .?"

"!!!"

In an instant.

The originally bustling hall suddenly became quiet. Social elites and upper-class celebrities all consciously stopped what they were doing and cast their gazes with respect and a bit of fear towards the frail-looking man on the podium.

"First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming to my party."

"Everyone here is my honored guest. When you leave, you will all receive a personal gift from me. Please don't hesitate."

"in addition."

"Before the banquet begins, I would like to play a simple game with you all."

“The game is simple.”

At this point, Li Caijin smiled mischievously and said, "I will announce a very important event today. If anyone can guess what it is, I will personally give him a very valuable mysterious prize. The hint is that I have already given it out before."

"snort."

As soon as Li Caijin finished speaking, Gu Moli laughed silently in his heart.

Is there any need to guess

Li Caijin, the president of Caijin Group, is a prodigy in the business world. His existence is a huge threat and deterrent to Caijin Group's opponents, just like a nuclear weapon. As we all know, nuclear weapons are the most powerful weapons only when they are not launched.

But what if nuclear weapons become scrapped because they have not been repaired for many years

It doesn't make any sense.

Therefore, the details of nuclear weapons cannot be made known to the public.

The same goes for Li Caijin. His physical condition must be kept secret from the outside world, especially when his health is very poor. Once his opponents discover his weakness, they will gather around him like predatory sharks and devour this sick lion, Li Caijin.

But now.

Li Caijin walked to the front of the stage without any hesitation, sitting in a wheelchair, without any makeup, and did not even try to hide the sickness and weakness on his face.

What does this mean

This means that he no longer minds the various accidents that may result from this.

In other words.

"He's going to retire."

"I will completely withdraw from the business world and no longer be involved in the affairs of the Caijin Group. I will entrust everything to other people. In short, I will quit my job."

"It's no surprise that this is the case."

After coming to the conclusion in his mind, Gu Moli shook his head. This was also human helplessness. No matter how smart or powerful you were, you would be nothing once your body collapsed.

Just as Gu Moli was sighing, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd.

"I see!"

"... .Oh?"

Li Caijin took a look, and Gu Moli also opened his eyes curiously and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

And there, a handsome and tall young man slowly walked out with a confident smile on his face: "I know what you mean."

"That is...Mr. Lin?"

"A new star in Guanghui City, he started from scratch and built his own business group in just a few years, which is very similar to Mr. Li when he was young. And I heard that he actually invested in Caijin Group and is considered a shareholder of Caijin Group. Mr. Li has always valued him very much..."

“I see.”

Listening to the whispers of a few people in the crowd, Gu Moli lowered his head.

There is one thing they don't know.

According to Gu Moli's investigation, there is more than a 70% chance that Mr. Lin Xingyuan is the person with whom Mrs. Li Caijin cheated.

And he stood up at this time... .

... .What do you want to do

Looking at Lin Xingyuan walking slowly forward, Li Caijin smiled happily: "Xingyuan, you are really sharp, but you are an insider of the company after all, and you get a lot more tips than other guests. This is not fair... But forget it, tell me, what do you think?"

“It’s very simple actually.”

Lin Xingyuan paced back and forth and said, "Mr. Li Caijin."

"Are you going to retire?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire reception hall fell silent. The little bit of discussion that had been there disappeared immediately, and the scene fell into dead silence.

Until Li Caijin spoke.

"That's right, I am indeed going to retire."

Li Caijin looked at Lin Xingyuan with great appreciation, and then waved to him: "Since you, Xingyuan, guessed the answer, I will not break my promise. Come up."

"Mr. Li Caijin, you are joking."

"I just happened to be lucky and a little more careful than others."

Lin Xingyuan also smiled very gracefully, then strode towards Li Caijin. One of them was the founder and largest shareholder of Caijin Group, and the other was a rising star of Caijin Group. Naturally, polite etiquette was indispensable, so both of them extended their hands to each other at the same time.

But at this moment.

Swish!

Right behind Li Caijin, the old butler, who had been keeping his head down and looking drowsy, suddenly stretched out his arm. His wrinkled palm seemed extremely powerful at this moment. He grabbed Lin Xingyuan's wrist tightly, and his old eyes were so bright that it made people terrified.

“… ... ...! Chen, Butler Chen, you… ..?”

"Mr. Lin Xingyuan."

The old butler did not have the chance to look at Lin Xingyuan, whose smile had frozen, and instead looked at his outstretched hand.

"Can you explain to me what this is?"

Very small.

And it is transparent.

Even if you look carefully, you may overlook it.

On the palm of Lin Xingyuan's outstretched hand, a tiny needle about three millimeters in diameter was taped to the inside of his palm with transparent tape. If he shook hands like this, the needle would most likely pierce Li Caijin's hand, and judging from its tiny size, Li Caijin himself would probably not feel anything.

The wound was almost undetectable.

However... ..

This thin needle was seen by the old butler, who should have had blurry eyesight.

“Hmm!”

At this moment, it was as if the mask he was wearing was peeled off, and the elite demeanor of a successful person on Lin Xingyuan's body gradually began to collapse visibly. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, sweat dripped from his forehead, and a slight sound of teeth chattering came from his mouth.

"You, what are you talking about, old butler, I don't know..."

"have no idea?"

"Xingyuan?"

The old butler's lion-like gaze and Li Caijin's somewhat puzzled questions made Lin Xingyuan look more and more nervous, but he still tried his best to keep a steady expression.

However, just when Lin Xingyuan was about to continue explaining...

… … ..Bang!

The exploding flames flashed across the hall, instantly passed through the back of Lin Xingyuan's head, shot out from between his eyebrows, and finally brushed past Li Caijin's shoulder with splattered blood.

"Ugh!"

Accompanied by Li Caijin's cry of pain.

The situation got out of control in an instant.
