Because Tang Ming mentioned that Huang Lao Bo was looking for her message, Gu Mei went to Huang Lao Bo's house the next day.

  It's unclear whether Tang Ming forgot or did it on purpose, but yesterday she didn't leave the phone number of Old Man Huang's house for her, so today she had no choice but to try her luck.

  Lucky for her, Old Man Huang was at home; if she wasn't lucky, she would have had a wasted trip today.

  Fortunately, Gu Mei's luck had always been good, and when she arrived at Old Man Huang's house, he happened to be at home and hadn't gone out.

  Old Mr. Huang was delighted to see Gu Mian and kept apologizing for the trouble he had caused her last time, but unfortunately, he didn't know how to get in touch with her, so he asked Robert for help.

  Gu Mei didn't ask much about the matter between Huang Laobo and Robert, but just chatted with Huang Laobo for a while, indicating that she hadn't taken that day's incident to heart.

  When Gu Mian left at last, Huang Laobo gave her a set of jewelry he made with his own hands.

  That set of jewelry is made of pure silver and has no other decorations on it, made in a retro style, with intricate patterns that look particularly beautiful.

  Originally, Gu Mei didn't want it, but Huang Laobo insisted that this set of pure silver jewelry wasn't worth much money and had to be taken by Gu Mei.

  Gu Xiang finally couldn't resist Huang Lao Bo and had no choice but to accept that set of jewelry.

  It's just unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when Gu Mei left, Old Man Huang unexpectedly told Gu Mei that if she needed to order custom-made jewelry, as long as she brought the materials, he would carefully craft the accessories for her.

  In the past, Gu Mei would not have thought it was strange to hear this, but she was currently in a sensitive period. The matter of the top-grade Starlight Blue Gemstone had not been thoroughly resolved, and now suddenly hearing Old Man Huang mention making accessories made her feel somewhat guilty.

  She didn't know what to say either, so she just murmured a couple of "uh-huhs" in response to Old Man Huang's words, then left his house with a heavy heart.

  Gu Mei didn't know that shortly after she left Huang Laobo's house, a black figure hiding in the shadows quietly emerged, glanced at her back for a few moments, and then quickly left.

  Tang Ming listened to the report from the newcomer and nodded slightly before gesturing for them to leave.

  "What's up, found anything?" Robert gently wiped a small porcelain bottle in his hand, his movements as gentle as if he were handling his beloved woman.

  Tang Ming lit a cigarette and leaned back on the sofa, slightly raising an eyebrow: "It seems like there's nothing to be found."

  "What are you suspecting? Are you suspecting that the top-grade Starlight Blue Sapphire and Miss Gu have a relationship? I didn't see any possibility of Miss Gu's family owning such a gemstone. Moreover, you don't have any evidence." Robert said slowly.

  "It's because there was no evidence. That's why I didn't take too obvious action, I originally wanted to get close to Miss Gu, but unfortunately she seemed to be very wary of me." Tang Ming shook his head and clicked his tongue: "Miss Gu is not an easy person to deal with, I dare say that if I had stayed a little longer yesterday, the other party would have taken action to teach me a lesson."

  "Really?" Robert glanced at Tang Ming, a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Our invincible Young Master Ming also kicks an iron plate, what a rare sight."

  Tang Ming shook off the cigarette ash and said lazily, "Not seeing doesn't mean it's not there. I've had people investigate for so long, but they haven't found any clues. There are only two possibilities in this situation: one is that the other party is very clever and knows how to eliminate their own traces, and the other... is that someone is helping from behind the scenes."

  "Do you think it's the second one?" Robert asked.

  "Whether or not it's the second one is still to be observed, anyway the trail led to a black internet cafe and then stopped. Coincidentally, Gu Ming had coincidentally appeared in that area on that day. Anyway, waiting like this is also a waste of time, might as well find something to do myself, rather than mistakenly killing a thousand. (Cotton candy) I will not let one go." At this moment, Tang Ming was like a hunting leopard waiting for the right moment, as long as his target showed even a little weakness, he would pounce mercilessly.

  "It seems you really have nothing better to do." Robert hummed softly and put the cleaned small porcelain bottle on the table.

  In the following days, Gu Mei was always on guard against that ambiguous Tang Ming coming to her door again. However, a week passed and there was no sign of Tang Ming, which made her wonder if she had really seen him on Professor Wang's birthday.

  During this period of careful vigilance by Gu Mian, Han Lu's engagement banquet finally arrived.

  It turns out that Bai Fangfang sometimes really has the potential to be a goddess.

  As she had expected earlier, Zhang Ting indeed intended to make a last-ditch effort and went to the scene on the day of the engagement banquet.

  Unfortunately, she was intercepted by someone who had been waiting on the side before she even entered the venue and was temporarily "invited" to go drink tea on the side.

  There were no more disturbances, the entire engagement party went very smoothly. Han Lu kept a proper smile on her face from start to finish, and with Wang Feng, who was about to become her fiancé, she went around greeting relatives and friends one by one.

  Although it was just an engagement party, both the Wang and Han families were considered to be of high social status, and their children's engagement also had a hint of business alliance, so this engagement party was almost as grand as a wedding.

  Looking at the tall and handsome Wang Feng beside Han Lu, Gu Mei couldn't help but admit that this guy indeed had the capital to charm women, fully meeting the conditions of being handsome and rich that made many women's hearts flutter.

  "Do you think they match well together?" Suddenly, someone stood beside Gu Mian and asked.

  Gu Mei, who had been staring at Han Lu and Wang Feng all along, didn't notice anyone approaching, and was suddenly startled by the question.

  She looked up and found that the person talking to her was actually Yu Xiao.

  "How did you end up here?" Gu Mian looked at Yu Xiao in his military uniform with surprise, quickly recalling the guest list for this engagement party and not finding Yu Xiao's name on it.

  At this time, Yu Xiao was not quite the same as when they met at the club last time. Now, possibly due to the crowd, Yu Xiao's face was somewhat stern. If someone greeted him, he would only nod his head in response.

  "Look at the old man on the main table, don't you think he looks familiar?" Yu Xiao pointed to the direction of the main table.

  The main table was already filled with people, and Han Lu's father was also there.

  If there's really someone who looks familiar, it would be the middle-aged man in military uniform next to Han Lu's father. The person standing next to Yu Xiao and that man has at least a 60% resemblance, one look and you can tell they're related by blood.

  "Director Yu, are you a father?" asked Gu Ming with some surprise in her voice.

  Yu, the Minister who was sitting in the seat of honor, was one of the distinguished guests at this engagement banquet. He is also a central figure who has something to say. To be able to become a minister, you must have some ability.

  She had guessed before that Yu Xiao must have a background, but she didn't expect this background to be so big.

  Yu Xiao nodded and continued: "The old man is here to save face for others, as his son, I naturally have to follow suit."

  "You look so young, Director Yu, you don't look like an old man at all." Gu Ming said softly.

  "Have you seen Qin Sheng recently?" Yu Xiao didn't say much about this question and instead brought up Qin Sheng.

  Gu Mian nodded: "A few days ago, Professor Wang's birthday, Qin Sheng also went."

  "He......" Yu Xiao seemed to want to say something, but thought for a moment and then swallowed his words.

  "What's wrong?" Gu Mian looked at Yu Xiao in confusion.

  Yu Xiao shook her head, looked at Gu Ming from head to toe, muttered a few words under her breath, and then said to Gu Ming: "Nothing, I just haven't seen him for a while, so I asked you casually today."

  "Oh." Gu Ming nodded, but in her heart, she didn't quite believe what Yu Xiao had said.

  At this time, Han Lu walked over, Yu Xiao saw the situation and greeted Han Lu, then left.

  Han Lu saw Yu Xiao chatting with Gu Mian, apparently also surprised, but there were too many people here, and she couldn't ask questions even if she had doubts in her mind.

  "How are you? Are you tired?" Gu Ming saw that Han Lu had fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and quickly pulled her down to sit and rest.

  Han Lu waved her hand, declining Gu Mei's kindness: "How can I not be tired? It's better if I don't sit down now, or else I might not be able to get up again. It's just an engagement, why make such a big fuss about it? I'm almost exhausted from smiling since morning till now, my face is stiff from smiling, and I hope when I grow old, I won't have laugh lines."

  "Don't worry, it won't happen." Gu Mian leaned in close to Han Lu's ear and whispered: "Looks like Wang Feng has been trained well by you, I saw very clearly just now that he was being very affectionate towards you."

  "Hmph, can't he not be affectionate with me? If I hadn't been prepared earlier, that Zhang Tingting would have come and stirred up trouble. Wang Feng can afford to lose face, but I, Han Lu, cannot afford to lose my dignity." Han Lu said with a huff, although she didn't have any feelings for Wang Feng at the moment, someone trying to cause trouble at their engagement party made her very displeased.

  "Zhang Tingting, what are you going to do about it?" Gu Mianan patted Han Lu's shoulder soothingly.

  "Just temporarily invite her over for a cup of tea, and we'll talk about it after the engagement party is over." Han Lu rolled her eyes.

  At this time, Han Lu's father's secretary hurried over to Han Lu's side and whispered a few words in her ear.

  Han Lu's expression changed in an instant, a fierce anger flashing in her eyes as she gritted her teeth and barked at the secretary: "You go first, I'll be right there!"
