Chapter 3: Shen Qingyu's Invitation, A Mysterious Gathering (Part 2)

  He and Shen Qingyu entered the building, and they were immediately greeted by a red carpet. The end of the red carpet was the other side of the hall, where a pair of red wooden doors were tightly closed. Four expressionless bodyguards stood in front of the door. What was even stranger was that there was not a single person in the hall, only the red carpet leading to the door and the four bodyguards...

  Shen Qingyu glanced at Ling Fei, then walked towards the four bodyguards with a light and quick pace. As she approached them, one of the bodyguards looked straight ahead without blinking, his voice cold and emotionless: "Please show your invitation."

  Shen Qingyu pulled out a small black package, took out a black invitation from inside, and Ling Fei's eyebrows rose after seeing the invitation. He thought to himself, "A funeral?!" However, his face remained expressionless as he secretly sized up several bodyguards and looked for the best escape route.

  It wasn't that Ling Fei was a coward, but at this moment his body still bore injuries, and it really wasn't easy for him to get into a fight with anyone. The bodyguard took the black card handed over by Shen Qingyu, nodded, stepped aside, and opened the door with another bodyguard, revealing another path, at the end of which was an elevator. The bodyguard's voice still didn't have any emotions; "Please."

  Shen Qingyu walked straight through the door, with Ling Fei naturally following closely behind. From start to finish, none of the four bodyguards looked at Ling Fei, until the two of them entered and the door slammed shut behind them. Ling Fei's heart skipped a beat as a bad feeling arose.

  Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "I think you must be attending this kind of gathering for the first time, right? Although it's a bit special this time, there's not much difference. Now I'll tell you about it. This gathering is jointly initiated by the Lin, Chen, and Murong families, and many people have been invited. Just consider it an eye-opener for you."

  Ling Fei responded with a sound, and his mind quickly thought about how to deal with the situation and everything that might or might not happen.

  Just then, the two walked to the elevator, Shen Qingyu pressed a button, and with a "ding", the elevator door slowly opened. Shen Qingyu went in first and said to Ling Fei, "Come on, we're going to the 30th floor. This gathering is being held on the top floor."

  Ling Fei ignored her, at this moment Ling Fei could be said to have regretted his intestines turning green, no longer having the mood to sulk, he first entered the elevator, looking at the closed elevator door, that kind of uncomfortable feeling of rising came, Ling Fei took a deep breath, leaning against the inner wall of the elevator, the faint scent of perfume on Shen Qingyu's body wafted over, Ling Fei sighed and said: "I'm telling you, Shen sister, just say it straight out, what do you want me to come here for? I really don't have time to continue playing with you."

  Shen Qingyu gave Ling Fei a flirtatious glance, but her voice was extremely cold; "I remember I said, the humiliation you gave me, I will return it double." Ling Fei's heart wailed in despair; "Damn, didn't expect to fall into this bitch's hands..."

  ……

  The elevator stopped on the thirtieth floor, and the doors opened to reveal a long corridor. The carpet was pure black with dark red stains scattered about it. Shen Qingyu took out a small knife from her bag, cut open her finger, and carelessly dripped a drop of blood onto the carpet. Ling Fei's heart skipped a beat at the sight; "It seems they're taking this Black Assembly very seriously...they've even used the Blood Sacrifice..." The Blood Sacrifice was a tradition that had been passed down since the establishment of the Black Assembly, where every underworld boss would drip their own blood onto the carpet as they walked across it, signifying their entry into the assembly and their willingness to put aside all grievances, whether rich or poor.

  But why did this gathering have to use blood sacrifice, which made Ling Fei somewhat puzzled. Ling Fei subconsciously stretched out his hand towards Shen Qingyu, who asked strangely: "What are you doing?"

  Ling Fei was taken aback; "Isn't it a drop of blood?" Shen Qingyu heard this and burst into laughter, as if she had heard some hilarious joke. After laughing for a while, Shen Qingyu spoke coldly: "Do you think you're worthy to shed blood on this land?"

  Ling Fei; "I... you..." Seeing Ling Fei eating turtle, Shen Qingyu chuckled and stepped on the carpet, walking towards the entrance at the very front.

  ……

  They walked to the end, still a door, but this time two dignified servants stood in front of the door. The servants saw Shen Qingyu and Ling Fei coming, immediately opened the door, and after entering, Shen Qingyu didn't think much of it. Ling Fei looked around with his mouth agape, there were at least forty people here, scattered about chatting with each other, their faces plastered with fake smiles. The grand hall was approximately six hundred square meters in size. In the center of the spacious hall stood a huge table, on which an unknown number of high-stemmed cups were arranged. A servant held a wine bottle and began pouring from the top cup, the liquid overflowing and slowly flowing into the lower cups. The servant's hand was extremely steady, without a single tremble, but it made one worry that he might suddenly shake and knock over the tower of cups.

  There are also many sofas and the like for people to rest, the hall is square in shape, with four flower pillars forming a square, inside which are dining tables, designed very innovatively. The sound in the hall isn't loud, but it's a bit chaotic, nearly forty people scattered around chatting among themselves, waiters holding drinks weaving through the crowd, some people holding wine glasses sitting on the sofas in the rest area chatting softly.

  Ling Fei couldn't help but glance around, his heart also filled with emotion; "This is indeed a grand gesture, luxurious enough." Shen Qingyu smiled wryly and lowered her voice to say; "Don't embarrass me, I knew I shouldn't have brought you here."

  Ling Fei hummed and said, "Well, can I go now?" Shen Qingyu didn't respond because a young man walked up to him, waving at Shen Qingyu, who nodded with a smile. "Zhang Shao, long time no see."

  Zhang Shao smiled slightly; "Sister Shen, long time no see, you're even more beautiful, indeed living up to the title of the number one beauty in the entertainment industry back then." As he spoke, Zhang Shao took two glasses of red wine from the tray held by a waiter who had just walked by and handed them to Shen Qingyu. Shen Qingyu smiled as she accepted them, taking a light sip before sighing; "It's not right, Zhang Shao is really overpraising me, I'm old now, not like back then, the Heavenly Voice Goddess is now radiant and dazzling."

  Watching the hypocritical politeness between the two, Ling Fei, who was left aside, curled his lips and glanced at the waiter walking by. He casually picked up a glass of juice from the tray, and the waiter didn't look down on him because of his clothes. Smiling and nodding, he continued to serve drinks to other guests.

  Ling Fei was sipping juice while searching for familiar faces in the crowd, when suddenly a loud and clear laughter came; "I say Qing Yu, it's been so long since we last met, you wouldn't have forgotten your old brother, would you?" Ling Fei felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall who this person was, so he didn't join in the commotion, his eyes continuing to scan the faces of the guests. Shen Qing Yu smiled awkwardly; "Brother Bai, you're just joking. How could little sister possibly forget you?"

  Ling Fei was taken aback, sizing up the newcomer with a sidelong glance, and almost burst out laughing. This man in a white suit, who else could it be but Bai Mu Hao? Bai Mu Hao waved his hand, signaling the two bodyguards behind him to leave first. The bodyguards hesitated for a moment, bowed their heads, and retreated slowly, but their eyes remained fixed on this spot. Bai Mu Hao smiled and said, "I say Qing Yu, you've been out of touch for so long, what made you decide to attend this dinner party today?"

  Shen Qingyu glanced at Zhang Shao, who didn't dare to speak, and Ling Fei, who was standing not far away, looking around, and said softly: "Hey, I received the invitation, how could I not come? Besides, I'm about to be overshadowed by Xiaolan's brilliance. If I don't show up and liven things up a bit, I'll be frozen out..."

  Bai Mu Hao nodded slightly without confirming or denying; "That's right, recently this Xiao Lan's goddess aura is indeed very impressive. By the way, where's Zhou Ran? Aren't you two very close?"

  Shen Qingyu burst out laughing; "Zhou Ran is a fool who insists on buying that Land Tiger, where can he outrun me?" Bai Mu Hao heard this and rarely showed a few hints of a smile, it seems he has a high opinion of Zhou Ran.

  Ling Fei didn't say a word from start to finish, only calculating the guests and their value in his mind. He was already certain that the three families had called this gathering for some purpose.

  That white Su Hao had sharp eyes and saw Ling Fei standing there, speechless. He asked strangely: "I'm saying, Qing Yu, who is this..." Before Shen Qingyu could speak, Ling Fei said lightly: "Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, or you'll get burned."

  Bai Musu was taken aback, it had been a long time since anyone dared to speak to him like that, and the other person looked like an unremarkable small figure, but he quickly rejected his own idea, Ling Fei turned around, smiled at Bai Musu, revealing a row of neat teeth...

  Bai Mu's legs softened and he retreated several steps, muttering in his heart: "My mother, how is it him..."
