The Fan family was definitely coming to the cocktail party today because, just as Fan Zhengxuan said, if they didn't come, they would look guilty, which would be like indirectly admitting that they were the ones who did it. But if they came, they might be subjected to verbal attacks or even physical threats.
But! They never dreamed that Gui Mengjun, who was always very smooth in dealing with things, would reach out and slap Fan Mingming in the face in such an occasion, and in the presence of the Pu family.
Fan Mingming was stunned. The pain on her face was totally different from the blow to her heart. She looked at the extremely embarrassed guests. She felt that every pair of eyes that looked at her were full of gloating and ridicule!
From the perspective of the Fan family, was what Fan Mingming did wrong? Objectively speaking, there was no right or wrong.
The Fan family has always wanted to marry into the Gui family to strengthen their cooperative relationship and share the pie of the arms business. At first, Mr. Gui was open to this matter, but Gui Mengjun was unwilling and had no good feelings towards Fan Mingming.
The marriage alliance failed, and the Guimeng Army had the support of King Xiaopingxi behind it. If this continued for a long time, the Fan family's say in this matter would become weaker and weaker, until they were completely reduced to a vassal family.
The Fan family, who also invested a lot in the arms business and were equally ambitious, would definitely not be content with this. However, they could not get the approval of the King of Xiaopingxi, nor could they contact the Longcheng family, so in order to ensure the interests of the family, they could only resort to under-the-table means.
The cooperation between Fan Mingming and Ruan Zhengtan was, after all, mutual exploitation. She knew that the other party was going to run away, but she wanted to use the other party's hand, use the Gui family's henchmen, provoke the relationship between the Su family and Gui Mengjun, and then use Ruan Zhengtan's power to kill Gui Mengjun and take over the arms industry.
The matter was settled, Gui Mengjun was eliminated, Ruan Zhengtan ran away, and everything was done quietly. Xiao Pingxi Wang was bound to choose a new family to do this, and the Fan family, which had a relationship with the Pu family and had always played an important role in the arms business, could definitely stand out.
If you want to fight, it is actually right to take this path. There is an old saying that goes, "The bold die of overeating, and the timid die of starvation." The struggle between political and business families is always full of betrayal and conspiracy.
However, the appearance of Jiangzhou and the speed of Ruan Zhengtan's action determined the final result. Gui Mengjun was not killed, and Xiaopingxi Wang also held this reception, and everything was settled.
On the other hand, Gui Mengjun, is he uncomfortable? In fact, he is also very uncomfortable. After going all out on the Xiaoping Xiwang track, the upper echelons of the Pu faction were somewhat dissatisfied with him, which was also the reason why he almost died in the Supervision Department, and it was also one of the absolute motives for Fan Mingming to dare to take action. But many things in the world cannot be achieved in both ways, and reality is like this.
…
Inside the venue.
Jiangzhou crossed his legs and said to Su Tianyu with a smile on his face: "Calm down, I really want to make friends with you."
Su Tianyu did not care about the conflict between Gui Mengjun and Fan Mingming, and only swore and replied: "I also swear to the Buddha that from the moment I saw you, I had an urge to swear brotherhood with you... But regarding the engagement, what I said really does not count."
Next to the sofa, Second Uncle was sitting in a wheelchair, and Su Tianbei was sitting on the sofa, looking at the entrance of the venue with an expressionless face.
Gui Mengjun straightened his clothes and looked at Fan Zhengxuan's wife with a smile: "If you were not here today, she would not be able to go out."
After saying that, Gui Mengjun waved towards the corridor.
Seven or eight military intelligence officers in gray uniforms came out, walked up to Fan Mingming, and said expressionlessly, "You are suspected of being involved in selling out important regional intelligence and collaborating with the enemy. You are now formally arrested!"
Fan Mingming looked at her sister-in-law in panic.
"Which department are you from? Can I make a phone call?" Fan Zhengxuan's wife asked the people from the military intelligence department in the local dialect.
Next to him, Jiangzhou's assistant, who had been standing in the crowd watching, came over with a glass of wine in hand: "Miss Pu?"
"Who are you?" Fan Zhengxuan's wife turned around and asked.
"I'm from the Southwest Theater Command." The assistant stepped forward, stared at her and said, "What I want to tell you is that some things can be interceded for, but some things can't! Don't take yourself too seriously, or you'll get into trouble."
Fan Zhengxuan's wife pursed her lips, held the phone in her right hand, and after her chest heaved for a few seconds, she finally didn't have the courage to make the call.
"take away!"
The staff handcuffed Fan Mingming in public and pushed her out.
"Brother! Brother!" Fan Mingming turned around and shouted in panic.
Fan Zhengxuan stood there, saying nothing.
Gui Mengjun turned his head to look at him, smiled and said, "Be a good consort. If you do anything under the table again, I will beat you to death! Do you understand?"
Seeing that his wife didn't say anything, Fan Zhengxuan didn't dare to say anything either.
After being slapped in the face, Fan Mingming was dragged out of the venue in a panic, with her high heels falling off. From Gui Mengjun's cold eyes, she clearly realized that it might be difficult for her to walk out of the prison alive.
Gui Mengjun waved his hand again, and more than a dozen staff members came out, moving quickly among the crowd and enforcing the law in public.
"Li Jun, right? You are suspected of reselling regional intelligence and instigating Li Taidong and others to attack Chinese-funded enterprises. You are now formally arrested!"
"Come here!"
“…!”
There were many people in suits and ties in the meeting room who had worked as senior executives in the Gui family for many years. They were all handcuffed and hooded.
Old Master Gui sat on the sofa, watching the scene in front of him. He didn't make any noise, nor did he stop it. He just felt a little complicated, because many of the senior executives here were promoted by him. But he didn't plan to care about it. After today's banquet, there was only one voice in the Gui family, that is, Gui Mengjun, and the other descendants had to stand aside.
After more than twenty people were arrested at the scene, the remaining guests finally understood the real significance of today's cocktail party.
Gui Mengjun returned to the sofa area in a suit, looked at the third sister with a serious face and said, "No one can hurt you and your family. Whoever touches them, I will kill him! Until all are gone!"
Miaomiao looked at him and didn't answer.
"After the cocktail party is over, can we have a chat?" Gui Mengjun asked softly.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
On the sofa area.
The phone in Jiangzhou's trouser pocket rang. He glanced at the number and said to Su Tianyu with a smile, "Please sit down for a moment. I'll take a call."
"good!"
Jiangzhou turned away and walked into the corridor: "Hello?"
"Kid, is there anyone you want among those who ran away?" A middle-aged man's voice sounded.
Jiang Zhou grinned: "Master, what do I need those bastards for?"
A careful observation will reveal that there is nothing else in Jiangzhou except for a lot of uncles. When you answer the phone, they are all uncles!
