Chapter 578 Gunshots
There were already many guests present at this time, and a symphony orchestra was invited to the scene, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
At eight o'clock, Mr. Jiu appeared, wearing a handmade suit. Although he was eighty years old and his hair was white, his body was still strong, his spirit was good, and his eyes were bright.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately became the focus of the entire venue, and all the guests gathered around to congratulate him on his happy birthday.
The businesses of the restaurant and the Bo family do not overlap, and the two are not competitors, so Bo Jinhan has little contact with the people in the restaurant.
On the one hand, the people in the restaurant are also relatively mysterious and rarely appear at banquets.
"Mr. Jiu still seems to be in good spirits, and he doesn't look like an eighty-year-old man at all." Charlene couldn't help but express her feelings.
Bo Jinhan said quietly: "Although he looks very energetic, he is already eighty years old after all. Something might happen one day."
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say this when someone is celebrating his eightieth birthday?" Charlene laughed angrily at him and glared at him.
Bo Jinhan said nonchalantly: "What I mean is that he is getting older and everyone in the restaurant is keeping an eye on him. After this birthday party, there will definitely be more undercurrents in the restaurant, and they will do anything to fight for the property."
The more people a family has, the more inevitable this kind of thing is.
"You're right, but it has nothing to do with us. The only thing I care about is the USB drive." Charlene whispered.
At this time, Mr. Jiu noticed them. Accompanied by Jiu Xiao and Mrs. Jiu, he walked towards them with a smile.
"Mr. Bo, Mrs. Bo, I didn't expect that you two would also come to my birthday banquet today. It's really brilliant." The smile on Mr. Jiu's face was impeccable, as if there had never been any conflict between them.
Bo Jinhan said calmly: "Mr. Jiu, you are serious. We naturally want to attend your eightieth birthday."
"I wish you may you be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains when you are eighty years old." Charlene said with a smile.
Mr. Jiu couldn't help but laugh, and then asked casually, "By the way, I heard that girl Jiu Xia works in your company, right?"
When he talked about Jiu Xia, his eyes obviously became deeper.
Xia Lin once mentioned Jiu Xia to Mr. Jiu. At that time, Mr. Jiu said that Jiu Xia was not from the Xia family and he did not know her.
Now that Jiu Xia suddenly returns to the restaurant, Mr. Jiu will definitely suspect that Jiu Xia has secretly colluded with her and wants the USB flash drive in his hand.
Charlene had not thought of this level before. She suddenly thought of it when she saw Mr. Jiu.
Xia Lin nodded frankly: "I happen to know Jiu Xia, and she is also looking for a job, so I might as well let her go to my company."
Mr. Jiu said meaningfully: "Jiu Xia is really grateful to you for taking care of me."
"Jiu Xia is my employee, and I should take care of her." Xia Lin said with a smile.
At this time, someone not far away greeted Mr. Jiu. After saying something to them, Mr. Jiu was busy greeting the guests.
When Xia Lin saw that Jiu Xia had just entered the scene at this time, she quickly waved to her.
Jiu Xia held up her skirt and walked up to her, "I just saw Mr. Jiu, what did he say to you?"
"I didn't say anything." Charlene frowned slightly, suddenly took her hand, and whispered: "This is not the place to talk, you come with me first."
She gave Bo Jinhan a look and then took Jiu Xia to the balcony.
Jiu Xia looked puzzled, "What exactly happened? Can't we tell it inside?"
After reaching the balcony, Xia Lin said to her in a deep voice: "I mentioned you to Mr. Jiu before."
Jiu Xia was stunned for a moment and asked, "When was it before?"
"Before you returned to the restaurant, just after we met for the first time." Charlene's tone was helpless, a little guilty and a headache.
"So early?" This was something Jiu Xia had not expected. "Then Mr. Jiu already knows about my relationship with you?"
Charlene had a headache: "The most terrible thing is that I came to him for the USB flash drive. I wanted to exchange other things with him, but he refused to exchange for anything. So from the moment you entered the restaurant, He might already be on guard against you."
Jiu Xia was really angry. She didn¡¯t expect it to be like this. No wonder she felt that Mr. Jiu was so wary of her.
"I'm sorry, I just suddenly remembered this when I saw Mr. Jiu tonight." Charlene didn't want to, but things have become like this, "What are you going to do?"
Jiu Xia was very calm, "What can we do? Of course we will continue to work hard. Since we have already sneaked in, how can we just give up?"
Even if Mr. Jiu doubts her and knows her purpose, she can't give up just yet.
"Where did you go just now? Why did you come here so late?" Charlene asked.
Jiu Xia said: "It's nothing, I just went to the toilet."
The birthday banquet is slowly progressing to the middle stage, and it¡¯s time to cut the cake.
Everyone in the restaurant gathered together and said blessings to Mr. Jiu, making him very happy with smiles on their faces.
After litting, the lights of the audience went out.
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out outside, echoing very clearly in the room, causing other people to scream.
Jiu Xiao realized that something had happened, his face darkened, and he immediately shouted to the bodyguard: "Turn on the lights! Hurry up!"
The bodyguard hurriedly pressed the switch, but who knew the light would not turn on, "The wire may have been cut by someone!"
Jiu Xiao¡¯s face turned green. He didn¡¯t expect that such a thing would happen on the night of Mr. Jiu¡¯s birthday party.
The people here are all celebrities. If something goes wrong, they cannot bear the responsibility.
Mr. Jiu immediately made a decision: "Transfer all the bodyguards here immediately and let them protect the guests here first! Take people outside to see what is going on, quickly!"
The wine boy nodded solemnly, turned around and left quickly.
Mr. Jiu said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, please be patient. There's just something wrong with the circuit. The lights will be restored soon. Please stay indoors and don't run around."
The commotion quickly calmed down, and everyone waited with bated breath in the dark, knowing that it was not just a problem with the circuit.
The sound just now was undoubtedly a gunshot. Although guns are banned in China, many wealthy people have played with guns abroad, and they can also distinguish the sound of gunshots.
Who is so bold as to cause trouble on the night of Mr. Jiu¡¯s birthday party?
They couldn¡¯t help but worry in their hearts, fearing that Mr. Jiu¡¯s people wouldn¡¯t be able to protect everyone here.
But now they can only wait in the dark. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
