Tiankui, who was standing outside the crowd, looked at Soong Shiyan and Elvis and couldn't help but smile. Yan Duoya's previous actions did not escape her sight. It seemed that Yan Duoya was also interested in Elvis — however, that was true. After seeing Elvis's appearance, it was difficult for the women to not be moved.

Tiankui shrugged her shoulders. She felt a little bored and decided to go back to the table to eat. At this moment, from the corner of her eyes, she suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure.

Tiankui frowned and turned her head to look in the direction of the man. The man in black spoke to the man beside him in a low voice as he looked around vigilantly. His expression was a bit nervous, completely unlike the expression a person should have when they came to a banquet.

The more Tiankui looked, the more she felt that this man in black looked familiar. She seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

Suddenly, a thought struck her — wasn't this man in black the man who drugged Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu before? He was very respectful to the man beside him. From the looks of it, that man was the one who drugged Lin Lang? Tiankui couldn't help but be vigilant as she sized up the man. However, due to the angle, Tiankui didn't see his face.

Seeing that they were about to leave the banquet, Tiankui couldn't be bothered with anything else. She rushed to Soong Shiyan's side, pulled her aside and whispered to her, "The man who drugged Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu appeared — and that man's master seemed to be at the banquet as well."

Soong Shiyan glanced at Lin Lang when she heard this. She didn't seem to be paying attention to what was happening over there. Then, she asked Tiankui with a serious expression, "Where is that man now?"

"They're going to leave now — will you come with me?" Tiankui asked.

Right now, the most important thing was to catch the person behind the scenes. However, from the surveillance footage back then, the man who drugged the medicine seemed to be pretty skilled as well. If Tiankui was alone, even if she could beat that man, she would still let the person behind the scenes take the opportunity to leave during the fight.

Soong Shiyan knew Tiankui's worry, so she nodded resolutely and said to Tiankui, "Don't worry, I'll go with you — you go first, I'll come later."

Tiankui nodded and followed the man.

When Soong Shiyan saw Tiankui leave, she turned around and said goodbye to Elvis.

Elvis looked at Soong Shiyan uneasily and said faintly, "Jing Sung, are you angry with me?"

"No, it's just that I have something urgent that I have to leave for now." Soong Shiyan hurriedly explained as she saw Tiankui walking out.

But Elvis held her hand as if she didn't believe her. "Jing Sung, listen to my explanation."

"There's no time to explain so much — Elvis, how about we meet again when I have time?" Soong Shiyan saw that Tiankui's back had already disappeared. She couldn't help but feel anxious as she said this.

Hearing this, Elvis let go with satisfaction and watched Soong Shiyan leave.

Seeing this, the surrounding women sighed again — if Elvis had shown them good will, they wouldn't have ignored his sincerity and left the stage early. Jing Sung was indeed a person who had seen many storms, but she could actually throw such a man behind her.

Seeing Soong Shiyan leave so quickly, Yan Duoya's expression became gloomy and unclear. She looked at Elvis and saw him staring at the direction where Soong Shiyan had left. Yan Duoya's jealousy of Soong Shiyan was like a nest of water snakes, tightly wrapping around her and making her almost suffocate.

Yan Duoya saw that the women around her were looking at Elvis with an eager expression. She was conflicted for a moment, then she walked over to Elvis and stretched out her hand towards him with a smile. "Hello, I'm a good friend of Jing Sung's. Soong Shiyan — thank you for inviting me to this banquet."

Yan Duoya knew that Elvis had a deep affection for Soong Shiyan, so when she introduced herself, she purposely said the words "Jing Sung's good friend".

Seeing Yan Duoya's actions, Lin Lang felt a bit disgusted, so she silently walked to the side, not wanting to stay with her any longer.

As expected, when Elvis, who was originally cold, heard the words "Jing Sung's good friend", his eyes immediately lit up. He also smiled and stretched out his hand, saying to Yan Duoya, "Hello, I'm Elvis. You can call me by my Chinese name, Wang Baiyi."

Hearing this, the surrounding women started to discuss once again. The name "Wang Baiyi" was not bad, giving off a scholarly vibe. Matched with his appearance, they were indeed complementary to each other.

Under the envious gaze of the crowd, Yan Duoya and Elvis shook hands. After feeling the warmth from his palm, Yan Duoya's heart beat even faster — she had a feeling that Elvis, Wang Baiyi, was the real Son of Heaven that she hadn't seen for a long time.

After shaking hands with Wang Liwei, Yan Duoya didn't want to miss the chance to talk to him, so she did her best to find a topic to talk to him.

She asked curiously, "Your Chinese name is very nice to hear. Is there a reason for it?"

Hearing this, Wang Baiyi smiled and explained, "After coming into contact with Chinese, I learned Chinese ancient poems. Among them, my favorite three poets are Wang Wei, Li Bai and Bai Juyi."

"So that's the reason." Yan Duoya smiled.

She was glad that Wang Baiyi was fluent in Chinese. If he didn't speak Chinese, perhaps she wouldn't even dare to come over and greet him. Yan Duoya's English was terrible when she was reading. Add to her years of work and lack of experience in communicating with foreigners, her English level is a total mess.

The surrounding women couldn't help but feel envious when they saw Yan Duoya and Wang Baiyi chatting so happily. They rubbed their fists and got ready to strike up a conversation.

How could Yan Duoya not know the thoughts of these women? Before they had arrived, she had already said to Wang Baiyi, "Baiyi, let's go over and chat —" Her shout was so intimate that it made the surrounding women unhappy.

Wang Liwei wanted to find out more about Soong Shiyan from Yan Duoya, so he nodded with a smile and followed Yan Duoya to the side.

Seeing this, the women looked at Yan Duoya with a trace of disgust.

"Soong Shiyan, you won't be proud for long!" The women gritted their teeth.

… ….

Soong Shiyan followed Tiankui to the washroom.

"What about the man?" Soong Shiyan whispered to Tiankui.

"The mastermind went into the washroom and hasn't come out yet. The man standing outside the washroom is the man who drugged Lin Lang. " Tiankui pointed to the side as she spoke.

Soong Shiyan looked in the direction Tiankui pointed at, and only then did she see Yu Yun. Sure enough, what Tiankui saw was correct. This was the man who drugged Lin Lang that day!

"Your eyes are really good, you actually noticed it." Soong Shiyan looked at Tiankui with admiration.

"In our line of work, one must have an outstanding memory." Tiankui said with a complacent expression.

"Then when should we go over and take down the mastermind?" Soong Shiyan said with a frown.

If they went now, the two of them should be able to subdue the man standing outside the washroom. Then, when the mastermind came out of the washroom, they would be able to capture him in one fell swoop. However, there were people passing by the washroom often. If someone were to make a move here, it would definitely attract the attention of others.

Tiankui was also conflicted. She thought for a while, then said, "If there's no surprise, they will definitely go to the underground parking lot. We might as well follow them into the elevator and make our move there."

Soong Shiyan nodded.

At that moment, Huo Mingshen walked out of the bathroom. He wore a pair of oversized sunglasses that covered half of his face. However, looking at that cold face, Soong Shiyan felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Soong Shiyan thought back for a moment and remembered that this man had 'saved' her at the amusement park in C City. At that time, if it wasn't for this man making a move in time, perhaps she would have fallen heavily onto the ground, losing all face.

"Jing Sung, what are you still standing there for?" Tiankui followed the men to the elevator. When she turned around, she saw Soong Shiyan standing there blankly with a thoughtful expression. She asked in a puzzled manner.

"Oh, right away." Soong Shiyan snapped out of her daze and saw that the two men had already entered the elevator. She hastily told Tiankui before rushing over to the elevator.

However, by the time Soong Shiyan rushed to the elevator, the elevator door had already closed. Looking at the descending figure, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but sigh. It was all her fault. She was lost in thought at this moment and had changed her plans.

"It's fine. The next elevator is almost here. We'll follow them to the underground parking lot, and we'll do it in the underground parking lot. " Tiankui comforted Soong Shiyan when she saw her worried expression.

Hearing this, Soong Shiyan nodded her head.

… ….

Soong Shiyan and Tiankui took the elevator to the underground parking lot.

In the dark underground parking lot, Soong Shiyan looked around at the luxury cars and suddenly felt troubled. Just now, because of her fault, Sky Cry and she has only now reached the underground garage. But now, in the silence of the underground garage, it didn't seem like anyone — had the two men already left?

Soong Shiyan's heart was filled with a wave of regret as she thought up to this point.

Seeing the look of regret on Soong Shiyan's face, Tiankui consoled her, "Don't worry. When I go home and check the hotel's surveillance, I'll naturally be able to find out the identity of the person behind this."

Soong Shiyan nodded in agreement.

Right at that moment, the lights of a nearby car came on. Soong Shiyan looked in that direction. Although she couldn't see the person in the car clearly, Soong Shiyan could guess that the person in the car was the mastermind.

Seeing the car slowly pull out of the parking space, Soong Shiyan walked towards it excitedly. She must not let the people who were in the car have the chance to leave!2

Seeing this, Tiankui hurriedly pulled Soong Shiyan back and shook her head.

Puzzled, Soong Shiyan asked, "Tiankui, what's wrong?"

"They're in the car right now, so if we rush in, we won't have a chance to force them out of the car. We have to think of a way to get them out of the car. " Tiankui said in a low voice.

"But they're going to leave now — they might be long gone by the time we figure it out." Soong Shiyan said with a frown.

"Don't worry, I have an idea!" Tiankui nodded and said with a confident expression.
