Chapter 212 The Wolf on the Dance Floor

"About my capital industry in Longmen, what should I actually say—"

In the banquet hall of the Shi Huaiya family, Bai Hua had an awkward but polite smile on her face at this time, trying to find a reason for herself and trying to fool her.

I was doing well with Adams and other relatives, but the head of the family suddenly said that he heard from Wei Yanwu that Baihua had so many IOUs that he could use them to wipe his ass, which instantly made everyone who had a little trust in him become suspicious again. eyes.

The love between the poor boy and the rich daughter across classes and positions is certainly touching, but the poor boy must at least have a degree. Obviously, the love between the "broken old man" and the rich daughter is completely different, and people will only doubt this. Did the untrustworthy members of the society catch some tricks, or did they know the art of PUA so well that Miss Qianjin was convinced by herself.

"Bai Hua's financial situation is indeed relatively tight, because he has been investing in a pharmaceutical company named 'Rhode Island' for a long time, and everyone should be very clear that the funds and time required by a pharmaceutical company to produce a drug are too short. It's an incomprehensible number, but in order to help the infected suffer as much as possible, Bai Hua still chooses to keep investing money in Rhodes Island, which makes his own financial situation a little bit tight."

At the critical moment, Shi Huaiya stepped forward, and she made up a reason—in fact, it was not a reason, after all, Bai Hua was indeed an elite operator of Rhodes Island, and a "veteran-level employee" in a certain sense. Rhode Island naturally has a sense of responsibility and hopes to share the economic pressure in its own way.

"Pharmaceutical company? This is indeed a big gamble—" "Infected people... Although it is a blue ocean, it is too risky." "As expected of the person I fancy, even the investment direction is exactly the same as mine!"

Shi Huaiya's reason is not very good, but at least it is enough. People's view of Bai Hua has changed from "a little boy who relies on a rich woman to eat soft food" to "an investor who dares to gamble and invest with his own opinions".

"Miss...!"

Bai Hua looked at Shi Huaiya with flickering eyes, her gratitude could not be expressed in words.After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Bai Hua herself thinks that she is indeed an old rascal. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to fool others rationally and calmly, and she still has to rely on the little tiger for help outside the court.

"When you go back, remember to pay me the rent for these two months."

Shi Huaiya snorted softly, but the tone was not a reproach, but more like a joke.

After Adams' attack launched by Wei Yanwu, an outside audience, was temporarily resolved, the banquet continued without any risk.

The chefs and maids served dishes one by one to everyone, and the way everyone discussed and talked was no longer the original way of speaking in turn, but chatting with each other relatively freely.

"Brother Bai Hua, you have been fighting in Longmen for so long, you should already have a car and a house, right?"

"There is indeed a car (although it is a two-wheeled one), and of course there is a house... er, of course there is, and it is the real estate under the Shi Huaiya family."

"The answer was stuttering, but I understand little brother Baihua, sometimes there are too many houses, it's like this, and I can't remember where my real 'home' is hidden for a moment, alas... sometimes it's true I feel lost in the forest of the house, as if I have been wandering."

—Damn capitalist!

A man was chatting with Bai Hua, and at the same time lamented that he had too many houses and could not find a home.

After that, many people began to ask about Bai Hua, the 'boyfriend of Miss Shi Huaiya'.

"Bai Hua, have you made a career plan for the future? You should have already done it, I heard that detectives are very logical people, and they must be very familiar with future goal planning?"

"This... In the future, I should consider slowing down the pace, stop blindly chasing the complicated things in the outside world, and turn to explore the true appeal of the inner self."

Bai Hua's statement of "preparing to find her experience before amnesia" is like a philosophical proposition.

"I understand, I understand, sometimes people need some time to reflect on themselves, but I'm asking about more specific goals, such as planning to make a small pocket money of [-] million a year?"

"Ahaha... well, how should I put it, let's take one step at a time."

Bai Hua laughed, the figure of [-] million was already beyond the limit of imagination for Bai Hua, and his financial goals did not even dare to think about 'paying off the debt', let alone tens of millions to an extent.

"Do you usually have any hobbies, Baihua? I like to go to Dosoles to charter a piece of sea surfing in the off-season, and occasionally go fishing on a cruise ship."

"I prefer, uh... select some limited-time discount products in the protein synthesis processing factory downstairs, and then take them back to the office for further manual finishing treatment, and finally realize the conversion of heat."

"Sounds amazing. It looks like you, Bai Hua, are also very knowledgeable about chemical engineering."

"Ah ha ha……"

Bai Hua smiled, complaining in her heart that her fucking hobby is actually eating discounted tea eggs at the breakfast shop downstairs of the Guard Bureau.

Although the scattered questions were not as aggressive as Adams's before, the problem was that the class differences and three views of the people who asked the questions were slightly different from their own, which made their situation very embarrassing. This answer can only be fooled by playing with words and changing the subject.

But fortunately, when one of them asked Bai Hua, "Do detectives usually encounter some weird cases?", they finally came to Bai Hua's field of expertise.

At the beginning, Bai Hua gave a brief introduction to some topics about looking for cats and dogs in the whole city, because the process would be messed up at every turn, and the energy put in and the importance of the actual work were completely out of proportion, so when everyone listened, they would all be confused. Laugh out.

But then Bai Hua will start to talk about some of the cases that he assisted the Guard Bureau to solve before, such as the woman whose body was divided into 17 pieces and died tragically in the apartment.

Or the middle-aged office worker who was crushed by the ambulance, and did not forget to show his fingers before he died.

Another example is the high school girl who couldn't find her head at the scene of the crime anyway.

As well as the local wealthy capitalist couple who were robbed of their money and had several holes in their bodies while walking in the alley.

These treacherous cases immediately fascinated the nobles. After all, most people have never been exposed to these cases. They have been carefully cared for since they were young. The nobles who grew up in the greenhouse and guarded packages are not murder cases. , I'm afraid I didn't even bleed from my fingers.The last time I saw blood, nine times out of ten it was a hot nosebleed or the first time I had bed sheets.

Because of this, the cases Bai Hua mentioned quickly attracted the attention of most people present.

"Of course, the mysterious cases in Longmen are not limited to these. I remember that the eldest lady has also experienced many difficult cases. You can also listen to her experience."

After talking about a few cases, Bai Hua threw the topic to Shi Huaiya in the face of the crowd who were still not satisfied. After all, this was an excellent opportunity to introduce her work content.

"Me? It's true that there were a lot of troublesome cases—"

After taking Bai Hua's words, Shi Huaiya began to talk about all kinds of wonderful or frightening detective experiences she had experienced in the Guard Bureau.

After several cases were finished, the nobles of the Shi Huaiya family all had somewhat surprised expressions on their faces.

"It's amazing, Beatrix...I didn't expect the Guards Bureau to deal with so many sensational cases."

"Yeah, I originally thought that the Guards Bureau was more of a group of civil servants eating the imperial food, but I didn't expect that it would really go through so many troubles."

Everyone praised Shi Huaiya one after another. After all, most people think that other relatives' performance has increased and investment has succeeded, and the results will not be much different even if they change themselves.

But Shi Huaiya's job is different from Bai Hua's. If she really asked herself to investigate the case, let alone catch the murderer, she might be scared to spit out at the scene of the crime.

"You can do it, you can do it" The most fearful thing is knowing that you can't do it, and the nobles who know that they can't do it naturally have a heart of admiration for Shi Huaiya.

However, among these nobles, a discordant voice suddenly appeared.

"What's there to show off and praise about this kind of thing? There's no need for the people of the Shi Huaiya family to do those dangerous and bloody things. You should sit in an office chair and control the company instead of studying the cause of death in front of a pile of meat .”

"Father--"

After hearing this sentence, Shi Huaiya looked at the source of the voice and found that the other party was his father.

"You've been playing Detective's play house for several years, don't you still feel disgusted? It's almost time to stop this farce. You are a candidate for the heir of the family. You should know what you are doing is right."

"You said it was a farce—"

Shi Huaiya frowned and wanted to stand up to refute her father, but she just moved her lips and did not continue speaking.

If it was normal, the guy who dared to talk to Shi Huaiya like this would definitely be locked in the detention center by the rich woman and let the guards poke three times ah three times, but the problem is - the person who said this was his father.

Even Shi Huaiya can't contradict her family members, otherwise this would not constitute a 'conversation' at all, but would be regarded as an extremely uneducated white-eyed wolf behavior by the people around her.

Bai Hua could see Shi Huaiya's entanglement and unwillingness, but she couldn't refute the dilemma.

"Ahem——Shi Huaiya's father, the identity of the officer of the Longmen Guards Bureau is not a joke. The Guards Bureau bears the important responsibility of protecting the entire city. We are not only burdened by a murder case, It’s a family or two who yearn for justice, or even an entire city that yearns for safety and justice—this job is more important than what you say.”

Since Shi Huaiya can't refute, then Bai Hua can do it for her.Bai Hua got up and refuted Shi Huaiya's father's prejudice, saying that Shi Huaiya's work was more important and indispensable than imagined.

"Important? Beatrix, as a nobleman of the Shihuaiya family, has more ways to help the city-state of Longmen, and each of them will be more effective."

"So you also think that the young lady is helping the city, right? Since the essence of the two is the same, the only difference is the direction of choice, and this I think-"

"You are not qualified to speak, Gray Wolf. Find out your own identity and status."

Halfway through Bai Hua's speech, she was directly interrupted by Shi Huaiya's father, whose tone could almost be described as 'threatening'.

"You are just an ordinary person whom Beatrix fell in love with for some reason, and your vision can only stay at the bottom of the well forever. Stop your childish remarks that you think are reasonable, you can sit here and enjoy the dinner , is already the greatest kindness in itself, Gray Wolf."

"Father--"

"Be quiet, it's too noisy."

Seeing Bai Hua being so satirized by her father, even Shi Huaiya couldn't sit still. She was about to refute, but Adams' voice came out first.

The voice of the aged film male was still unique in the banquet hall, deep and rich, instantly making the originally chaotic scene quiet again.

"I'm sorry, Patriarch, I..."

Shi Huaiya's father was scolding Bai Hua a second ago, but now he immediately turned to Adams, bowed his head and apologized to admit his mistake.

"This is a family banquet, not your company. Let me wait until later for the words of reprimand."

"Yes, Patriarch...!"

Shi Huaiya's father nodded respectfully, and he didn't have the slightest thought of talking back and resisting.

As for Shi Huaiya, after the situation was contained temporarily, she quickly bowed her head and apologized to Bai Hua.

"Sorry Bai Hua, father just said a lot of bad things, I..."

"It's okay, I did cross the line, miss."

Bai Hua smiled and said that she didn't care, but she felt a little guilty in her heart.

Originally, Bai Hua thought that she would be set on fire by Adams, but it turned out that Shi Huaiya's father had a lot of hostility towards her.

But in other words, maybe Adams authorized the other party to sing a bad face.

In any case, with the last dessert ice cream ball being served, the first stage of the banquet came to an end.

After the chat at the dining table was over, Adams got up and came to the banquet hall, behind him was another room with a similar decoration style, but it was not as big as the main banquet hall. There was no long table for dining in this room. Seems a bit like the construction of a dance floor.

Next to the dance floor is a band of dozens of people, playing soothing music as the background.

"Think of it as an after-dinner activity—everyone, dance to your heart's content."

"what?"

Adams' words caused a question mark to appear in Shi Huaiya's head, and the little tiger quickly looked at Beyoncé beside her.

"Well, Beyoncé, you didn't tell me before that there will be such a link at the family dinner?"

Shi Huaiya is a little confused, it seems that the development of the situation is somewhat different from what she originally knew.

"Hmm... I, this is also the first time I heard that there is a dancing session. The last activity after the dinner was to enjoy the opera."

Beyoncé was also a little confused. It could be seen that Adams did not follow the routine, but made a strange move.

"Isn't this very good, it's better than being chatted with by a group of people - hello master, can I have a steak now."

Bai Hua cheerfully said that dancing is better than being tortured by your relatives, and by the way, he did not forget to ask the cook for food.

"Sorry, sir... The quantity of steaks is all specified by the customer, and there are no ready-made steaks at present."

"Hey, why is this—then what else is there in the back kitchen?"

"Pre-dinner bread"

"Then please bring me the pre-dinner bread after the meal."

"..."

The chef wiped off his sweat. He had been working in Shihuaiya's mansion for at least ten years, but this was the first time he met a guy who came to a banquet and was really eager to eat.

After getting the bread, Bai Hua found a relatively secluded corner with the bread in her mouth, and watched the elegant post-dinner digestion exercises of the nobles on the dance floor while gnawing.

However, Bai Hua, who was eating bread, suddenly saw a beam of light from above, directly illuminating the bread thief at a glance.

"...?"

Bai Hua, who was locked by the spotlight, was stunned for a moment, then immediately hid to the side.

However, as soon as Bai Hua moved away, the spotlight immediately chased over and locked on Bai Hua again.

Bai Hua changed the angle again, and the spotlight lost the position of Gray Wolf this time, but soon a group of guards with flashlights locked on to Bai Hua who was stealing bread in the corner.

"...Okay, I get it."

Bai Hua sighed and stuffed the bread into his mouth, then clapped his hands and walked to the side of the dance floor, while the spotlight continued to hit Bai Hua with high intensity, making the other party look like a prisoner about to escape.

"Baihua, I heard that detectives are elegant hunters. I don't doubt your ability as a hunter, but are you elegant enough? Show it to everyone on the dance floor."

Adams looked at Gray Wolf with a cigar and wine glass, and said with a playful smile on his face.

Being named by the head of the family like this, even Bai Hua couldn't help fooling around.

"Hmm... didn't expect to come up with this trick? What should I do now..."

The little tiger Shi Huaiya frowned, obviously she never expected Adams to do such a trick.

"I can't help it. I should be able to remember some of the steps I used to dance. I'll take you with me."

Shi Huaiya can only bite the bullet and go up to dance with Bai Hua, but the problem is that Shi Huaiya has not done this kind of behavior for a long time, and the memory of this experience in her mind is only at the underage stage.

"No, I can't make my sister make a fool of myself. As expected, I should dance with my sister, and let Bai Hua dance with that fellow Aaron."

Beyoncé complained a little dissatisfied on the side.

"It's not possible... In short, it's better to take one step at a time."
