1273 Who Went To The Banquet

“Did anyone follow you on the road?” Mo Long asked.

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Yu said. “I’ve already confirmed that no one is following us. Even the bodyguard I brought with me only stayed nearby and didn’t let him come in with me.”

“Alright,” he said. Mo Long nodded and poured a cup of hot tea for Jiang Yu, saying, “Take a rest. I’ve already rejected the Chu family’s invitation.”

“Yes.” Jiang Yu took out an ordinary plaid shirt from her bag and said to Mo Long, “I also bought you this dress. Wear this on the day of the banquet.”

“Yes.” Mo Long nodded.

In fact, he was wearing an ordinary white shirt now. Because he came to Qingcheng for a secret investigation, he didn’t wear it so conspicuously. With his current appearance, as long as he put on a mask and walked in a crowd, he would be no different from an ordinary person.

Other than the unconcealable temperament, there were no other problems.

The banquet was to be held three days later. Jiang Yu put on makeup for Mo Long to look like a middle-aged man and put on a fake beard. Then, she changed her appearance into that of a middle-aged woman with some faint freckles on her face.

When the two of them looked at themselves in the mirror, they could not help but laugh. However, after laughing, Mo Long said, “Many years later, we will become like this. When that time comes, you will still be by my side, and you will still be as beautiful as before.”

Jiang Yu’s heart skipped a beat and her eyes curved as she said, “We will be together forever. From youth to middle age, and from middle age to old age, I will be with you.”

Mo Long wrapped his arms around Jiang Yu and pressed her tightly against him.

“Alright, if we don’t set off now, the banquet will be over.” Jiang Yu said.

The two of them then set off and went to the venue where the Chu family was holding the banquet.

The venue was very large, in order to accommodate many people. There were also two courtyards, divided into the inner and outer courtyards.

The people in the outer courtyard were either business people or ordinary people, while the people in the inner courtyard were distinguished guests who had been specially invited by the Chu family.

Jiang Yu and Mo Long blended in with these people, pretending to visit as they approached the inner courtyard.

There were ten bodyguards at the entrance of the inner courtyard in order to stop people from the outer courtyard from entering the inner courtyard.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu and Mo Long had no choice but to stay a little further away to avoid being caught by the group of bodyguards.

I didn’t expect the Chu family to only invite these few distinguished guests. Jiang Yu looked from afar and saw that there were no more than five distinguished guests in the inner courtyard.

the Chu family probably only sent an invitation to the big families. The other small families didn’t invite them. Mo Long guessed.

Jiang Yu took a closer look and saw people from the Kang family. However, this man wasn’t a direct descendant of house Kang, but a branch-Kang Xue’s father.

“I saw Kang Xue’s father.” Jiang Yu said softly, “it seems like the Chu family has sent an invitation to the Kang family.”

“The Chu family really wants to make friends with the other big family.” Mo Long sneered, “Mo family, Kang family, the two biggest families. He has sent an invitation to both of them. But I don’t think house Kang values this banquet too much, or they wouldn’t have only sent Kang Xue’s father. At least they would send a direct descendant of Kang family.”

“It should be …” As Jiang Yu spoke, she tiptoed to look inside and suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure.

“It’s a fake Mo Long!” Jiang Yu called out in a low voice and said to Mo Long, “I saw the fake Mo Long.”

“What?” Mo Long was shocked as well. He followed Jiang Yu’s line of sight and saw a person who looked exactly like him, standing there in a suit.

This was the first time he had seen a fake Mo Long.

“I’m not sure,” Jiang Yu shook her head. but the fact that the fake Mo Long is here means that someone has passed the news to him. Moreover, the fact that he was so bold to appear here meant that he wasn’t afraid of running into you, because he was certain that you wouldn’t come. But how did he know you wouldn’t come?

“What is he doing here?” Mo Long was confused. “The invitation was sent to my mailbox. How did he know? I’ve already rejected their invitation, and now that I’m here, won’t they be suspicious?”

“I’m not sure,” Jiang Yu shook her head. “But the fact that the fake Mo Long is here means that someone has passed the news to him. Moreover, the fact that he was so bold to appear here meant that he wasn’t afraid of running into you, because he was certain that you wouldn’t come. But how did he know you wouldn’t come? Does anyone else know that you rejected the Chu family’s invitation?”

Mo Long carefully recalled and said, “I personally replied. Other than me, no one else should know.”

“That’s strange …” Jiang Yu frowned. “He must have known that you wouldn’t come. But who gave him the news?”

As Jiang Yu thought about it, her gaze fell on Mo Long’s phone.

“Could it be that someone hacked into your phone system and saw your reply email?”
