Chapter 735: About to Begin

They waited for two hours, but there was still no sign of Sheng Kai. Did he not intend to attend in person?

With doubt, Sheng Bowen arranged for the guests to enter the banquet hall one after another. As the luncheon was about to begin soon, the Shen family also came to celebrate with gifts.

Ever since Old Master Shen retired, he had been living in seclusion. But today, in order to regain his old friend, he finally abandoned his pond and dressed up to attend Old Master Sheng’s birthday banquet.

When the two old men met, they started chatting again, their wrinkly faces full of smiles.

..

“The old man is smiling very happily now. I just don’t know if he can take it after it happens.” Mu Qiqi frowned as she watched the old man and her grandfather chatting. She sighed.

“Rather than thinking too much, it’s better to deal with it properly.” Sheng Xiao hugged her and brought her around to greet the guests.

“Let’s not wait for now. The luncheon is about to begin. Let’s all go in,” Sheng Bowen said to the two of them with Ren Yufei in his arms.

The guests entered the banquet hall one after another. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm. Although the birthday banquet was a big one, Sheng Bowen only invited friends who made the old man feel at ease. He kept all of his friends who had past feuds away. After all, he wanted to make the old man happy, which was the most important thing.

Everyone took their seats in the luxurious banquet hall. The emcee on the stage also planned to let Old Man Sheng come forward to express his thoughts.

Around this time, many people present had already received news that something had happened to Huang Yao.

..

The guests were all influential figures in the business world. The developments in the circle had always been on everyone’s radar. Some people had received accurate news, and some people only knew that many police officers had arrived at Huang Yao’s warehouse.

Looking at the Sheng family members now, it was clear that they had not received any news yet.

The owner was so enthusiastic, and it was the old master’s birthday. It was not appropriate for them to remind him of such a negative thing, and they did not know how to open their mouths.

“Hey, have you heard? That thing was found in Huang Yao’s warehouse.”

“I’ve also received news. What’s going on? Huang Yao is involved in that kind of business?”

“I have friends from the police. They’ve already been sent there. The news is definitely not wrong. It’s just that the current situation is very awkward… We don’t know how to tell them.”

In the banquet hall, a small group of people were whispering to each other.

Then, Sheng Bowen received a phone call. “The police have already sent their people over. The ident.i.ty of the spy has been confirmed. That group of people has already been controlled by the police. I believe the police will be here in ten minutes.”

“I understand.” Sheng Bowen ended the phone call. He was not fl.u.s.tered at all. On the contrary, he felt more at ease because this meant that Sheng Kai’s plan had not changed.

Then, Sheng Bowen stood up and said to Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi, who were sitting at the same table, “The show has begun…”

With that, he walked toward Old Master Sheng and whispered in his ear, “Something has happened in Huang Yao. I’m going over to take care of it now. Grandpa, Eighth Brother is here. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

Old Master Sheng was stunned for a moment. He turned around and asked, “What is it? What is it that requires you to leave now?”

“It’s under control. It’s not a big deal. Don’t worry.”

With that, Sheng Bowen got ready to leave. After all, he had to put on a show.

When everyone saw him leave, they knew that he must have known that Huang Yao was being investigated by the police. Of course, he had to rush back to take care of it.

Old Master Sheng’s was a little worried. To be honest, he wasn’t completely unaware. He vaguely knew that on his birthday, there would definitely be someone with bad intentions trying to ruin things.

He just didn’t expect that Third Brother would be the target.

Old Master Sheng continued to stay in the main seat. Proceeding with the agenda, he went up the stage to say a few words.

However, just as the emcee handed the microphone to Old Master Sheng, the banquet hall door was suddenly pushed open. Immediately after, the police who received the tip-off majestically walked on the red carpet and entered.

“I’m sorry to disturb your birthday celebration, Sir. However, we would like to ask which one of you is in charge of Huang Yao. Please come out immediately.”

“I am.” Sheng Bowen had already walked to the side door and stepped back to greet the police officers. “Today is my grandfather’s birthday. I wonder if you…”

“Someone reported that a large amount of diacetylmorphine had appeared in Huang Yao’s warehouse. The police received the news and immediately went to investigate. Indeed, they found something similar in the warehouse. Therefore, we need you to come to the police station with us to cooperate with the investigation.”

“What is diacetylmorphine?” Sheng Bowen asked even though he already knew the answer.

“Powder. Something that makes people hallucinate.” The police used body language to explain.

“Officer, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood. How could there be such things in Huang Yao’s warehouse? We’re all proper businessmen.”

“Yes or no, you must come with us first.”

There were four police officers, two in plain clothes, and two in police uniforms.

Seeing this, Old Master Sheng got up from his desk and walked in front of them. His voice trembled slightly. “Officer, are you mistaken? Our Huang Yao only makes diamonds and jewelry. None of us touches those things.”

“Sir, whether it’s true or not, we’ll only know after we verify it. If none of you did it, the police will naturally clear your name.”

“Grandpa, it’s fine. I’ll go with them,” Sheng Bowen comforted the old man. “It’s your birthday today. Be happy. I promise you that I’ll be fine.”

Old Man Sheng didn’t say anything. He leaned on his cane with a gloomy expression.

“Sir, please cooperate with us.” The policemen were also in a difficult position.

Mu Qiqi saw this and quickly went up to the old man. “Third Brother has promised you that if nothing happens, nothing will happen. What’s more, your favorite, Eighth Brother, is sitting there. He’s not moving at all. If there’s anything, look for him.”

Old Man Sheng glanced at Sheng Xiao. Seeing that he was really indifferent, he took a deep breath.

Then, he subconsciously took two steps back so that the police could carry on. However, Sheng Kai seized this opportunity and timing and walked straight into the banquet hall through the main door.

He even pretended to be late.

“It seems that I’m late and have missed a wonderful show.” Sheng Kai brought Gu Ziling with him and held the gift in his hand. He walked up to the old man with a smile on his face. “Grandpa, I came to congratulate you on your birthday.”

The old man knew what was going on the moment he saw this scene. He said coldly to Sheng Kai, “If you want to hate me, hate me alone. Don’t take it out on Third Brother.”

“Grandpa, what are you talking about?” Sheng Kai gestured to Gu Ziling and handed the gift to Old Man Sheng.

However, Old Man Sheng threw the box away. “Don’t think that I don’t know that today’s incident was planned by you.”

Mu Qiqi and Sheng Bowen looked at each other and felt that things were about to get out of control. They quickly said to Old Master Sheng, “Grandpa, don’t be angry today…”
