Chapter 523: A narrow escape; Huang Zhenxiong is targeted by Daria
Huang Zhenxiong pulled up his tool bag and walked out of the bedroom.
He moved his hand too violently and something fell out, stopping him in his tracks. Fortunately, the floor was carpeted and didn't make much noise, but it was enough to heighten the tension.
Jiang Yingbai in front of the screen hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"
Huang Zhenxiong didn't have time to respond. He bent down to pick it up, held it in his hand, and hurriedly fled the room in two steps.
He quickly locked the door with his master key. He could already hear footsteps approaching, leather shoes clacking against the floor, their steps fast and hurried.
Each step seemed to be stepping on Huang Zhenxiong's heartbeat.
As soon as the door was locked, Huang Zhenxiong walked away as fast as he could.
Almost the second he hid at the corner at the end of the corridor, Bruce hurried out from the other end.
If I had been a second or two slower, I would have been discovered.
No near misses.
Huang Zhenxiong leaned over and watched Bruce open the door with his key and walk in. He withdrew his gaze, leaned his back against the wall to catch his breath, and then left.
Bruce began a series of checks in the room.
Huang Zhenxiong returned the same way, avoiding the patrolling bodyguards all the way, put the tool bag back into the utility room, went to the first bathroom to wash his hands, tidied his appearance in front of the mirror, and then went to the banquet hall as if nothing had happened.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets and hummed a little tune.
Raising a hand to flick the bangs in front of my forehead, I heard Jiang Yingbai say in shock in the headset: "I was scared to death."
Huang Zhenxiong was speechless: "I'm not panicking, why are you panicking?"
Jiang Yingbai: "Nonsense, you're a fucking thief. This is my first time stealing, how can it be the same? If you panic, then it's all over, right?"
Huang Zhenxiong said seriously, "I'll say it again. I'm a thief, a big thief, not a robber. That's even more fucking not stealing."
Jiang Yingbai: "You talk like a fart."
As we were arguing, we suddenly heard footsteps on the left side in front of us.
There was also the sound of high heels.
At least five or six people.
So Huang Zhenxiong shut up and restrained his behavior.
When passing the passage on the left, Huang Zhenxiong turned his head and his eyes happened to meet Daria's face. Huang Zhenxiong was so scared that he almost lost control of his expression. He quickly turned his head back and prayed secretly that Daria didn't notice him, and then left quickly.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
Delia spoke, causing Huang Zhenxiong to hesitate.
Huang Zhenxiong closed his eyes slightly, his heart in his throat.
He had no choice but to stay where he was.
Huang Zhenxiong became secretly nervous and his heart beat faster when he saw Daria walking towards him with several bodyguards.
When Daria approached, Huang Zhenxiong turned around.
Seeing that Daria's eyes were clearly suspicious of his face.
Huang Zhenxiong asked calmly, "What's the matter, Miss?"
Daria had no memory of this male voice.
"Are you here for a birthday party, sir?"
"of course."
"Excuse me, who invited you?"
"Your father."
Daria stared at the face that looked more and more familiar. "How come I didn't know my father had such a young friend?"
"Do you want to ask your father to come and prove it for me?"
Landon only told his son Caesar about helping Lu Xixiao break into his brother's bedroom to steal things, while his wife and daughter were unaware of it.
"Sir, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean that. I apologize for any impoliteness." Daria continued, "You look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
Huang Zhenxiong responded calmly: "You haven't seen it before, right? Maybe we Asians all look the same to you?"
Daria: "Perhaps. Why is the gentleman here when he's not in the banquet hall at this hour? Do you need any help?"
Huang Zhenxiong: "No, I just came out to use the bathroom. I can find my way back. Is there anything else?"
Daria: "Then let's go back together."
Huang Zhenxiong nodded slightly: "Please."
Daria: "What's your name, sir?"
Huang Zhenxiong: "My last name is Huang."
Daria: "There are very few Asian faces tonight. I wonder if Mr. Huang knows Lu Xixiao, who is also Asian?"
Huang Zhenxiong responded calmly: "Of course, Mr. Lu knows everyone, but I don't know whether he knows me or not."
Daria: "What about the woman beside him?"
Huang Zhenxiong smiled and said, "She's very beautiful, but I don't have the courage to go past Mr. Lu and get to know Mr. Lu's girlfriend."
Although she felt that Huang Zhenxiong looked very familiar, Delia really couldn't remember where she had seen him, so she could only remain doubtful.
Huang Zhenxiong was forced to return to the banquet hall with Daria.
As soon as she returned to the banquet hall, Daria looked for Wen Li.
Seeing Wen Li standing with Lin Zhuxi as if nothing had happened.
Wen Li also looked at her.
Huang Zhenxiong, who was next to Delia, looked at Wen Li with a bitter look on his face, and then quickly took the opportunity to slip away and hide in the corner.
Wen Li watched Delia walk towards Hudson and say something to Hudson, and then Hudson looked at her.
Wen Li met Hudson's gaze without avoiding or dodging.
Hudson looked away: "How's Simon?"
Daria: "Dr. Lorton is still examining him."
After that, Wen Li saw Hudson leave the banquet hall.
When Landon saw his daughter leaving with Hudson, he had a bad feeling and quickly asked his wife to go over and check.
Turning a corner, Hudson ran into his son Simon.
Hudson looked at his son and asked, "Is everything okay?"
Simon lowered his hand from touching his nose: "It's okay, father."
Hudson: "Who hit you?"
Simon looked at Daria and told the truth.
Daria: "I knew it was her! She actually dared to fight with you, Simon, in our manor. She's so arrogant!"
Hudson: "Why did she hit you? Didn't she ask you to follow Bruce to my room? What did you do to her?"
Simon said innocently: "I didn't do anything to her. She came here on her own initiative. She was venting her anger on behalf of Lin Zhuxi."
Hudson: "Lin Zhuxi?"
Simon: "They are friends..."
Daria: "Who does she think she is? What right does she have to act so recklessly in our DuPont Manor? We can't just let it go like this."
Simon said to Daria in a flat tone without any expression, "Daria, this is between me and her."
Daria gritted her teeth.
Hudson interrupted, "Okay. Simon, go back to the banquet hall and try to get all the guests to wait until after nine o'clock. Don't follow me." He left alone with crutches.
Daria said to Simon angrily, "I think you really need to see a doctor again. Of course, not for your injuries."
It depends on the brain.
After saying this, Daria turned and left with a lot of emotions.
She suddenly remembered something and quickened her pace to the banquet hall, looking for Huang Zhenxiong among the guests.
However, Huang Zhenxiong had already quietly left.
Simon returned to the banquet hall and looked at Wen Li. After attracting his attention, he touched his nose at Wen Li.
Simon, who was beaten by Wen Li, laughed instead of getting angry.
