"Bang!"
While Shen Jianyi was talking to the man beside her, she kicked the door open.
Immediately, Gun gave a light cough and said in a meaningful tone, "Didn't you say you were going to discuss it with them? This way of 'discussing' really broadens my horizons."
Shen Jianyi let out a snort. Just then, the waiter was right outside the door. The moment the door opened, he tumbled head - first down the steps.
When he finally landed on the ground, his glasses flew off. He covered his bleeding nose and turned around in panic.
The tall and short figures standing in front of him were chilling in the night. He slowly got up from the ground, dragging his injured arm, and staggered towards the two of them.
"What do you want?"
Shen Jianyi folded her arms, a hint of hostility flashing in her eyes. "I'd like to have a discussion with you. I want to leave the banquet."
The waiter's expression immediately changed and became serious. Although he had just been beaten, he still adhered to his professional ethics and asked seriously, "Why do you want to leave? Don't you know the banquet hall won't open for another three hours?"
"I know," Shen Jianyi replied expressionlessly and absent - mindedly. "But isn't it open now?"
The waiter was so angry that his anger was about to burst out. "But did the door open by itself?"
Shen Jianyi coughed and turned her head to look at the man beside her. The two of them exchanged a smile.
It was really rare to see Shen Jianyi smile under such circumstances.
Gun said softly, "The door made the first move. We just kicked it. Who knew it was so weak that it opened on its own?"
The waiter was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes. He clutched his chest tightly, trying his best to calm down his irritable mood. He had never seen such unreasonable people.
"Are you being reasonable at all?" he said angrily. "Go back quickly. Three hours haven't passed yet. No one can leave!"
But Shen Jianyi didn't want to talk to him anymore. He was just a waiter, and it was useless to discuss with him.
She turned to look at Gun and said in an extremely calm tone, "I'll go in and help her. You wait for me here."
"Okay."
The two separated. Shen Jianyi swaggered into the banquet hall. She had already become the focus of the whole banquet. Everyone thought this woman was too arrogant. How dare she do such a crazy thing in Mandot Sea.
Shen Jianyi walked in expressionlessly, with a menacing aura. Everyone around her felt a chill. She walked up to Xia Liang and reached out to support the girl who was trembling with pain.
"I'll take you away," Shen Jianyi held her arm and led her out.
Just as she was about to take a few steps, she looked back and saw Lu Yuan and Lan Xi who were about to follow. If she left, these people might go berserk again.
She frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
But soon, in just a few seconds, Shen Jianyi had made a decision. Her voice was cold. "You two come with me."
Lu Yuan obediently followed. Although she didn't know who this woman was, she could tell that she was definitely not simple.
Moreover, there was always a familiar feeling about this woman, as if she was someone she knew.
Under everyone's noses, these people left the banquet. Of course, once someone took the lead, others also wanted to leave. They didn't want to be trapped here anymore. In this banquet full of the smell of blood, almost everyone felt nauseous.
One of them made a decision. He picked up the stool in his hand and shouted to the crowd, "Let's go. Let's get out of this banquet together. I don't believe the people outside can stop us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another man stood up. The man was wearing a black suit, but what he said sounded like a teenager with a heroic complex.
"No one can stop us from leaving here today. Even if the door is closed, it's useless. We'll smash it open!"
Saying so, everyone followed Shen Jianyi closely and swaggered out.
However, after Shen Jianyi helped Xia Liang out of the banquet, she directly kicked the door shut.
The man who sounded like a teenager with a heroic complex immediately fell silent. He stood in front of the door, looking at the closed banquet hall door, and swallowed hard.
Someone provoked him, "Didn't you say you were going to smash the door?"
He twitched the corner of his mouth, turned his head awkwardly, and said, "When did I say that? I don't remember."
Sure enough, without a leader, they didn't dare to act recklessly. Who knew what the mysterious person who held the banquet would do, and they had no idea what was going on outside.
At first, the waiter thought only two people were going out. Seeing that they were not easy to mess with, he thought he could make an exception. After all, the organizer wouldn't know. But then, three more people came out of the banquet. He was completely stunned and immediately shook his head in refusal.
"Absolutely not. If so many of you leave the banquet and the partner finds out, you'll all be disqualified from the auction!"
Shen Jianyi lifted her eyelids. Her dark eyes were like black obsidian, as still as a deep pool in the night.
With just this look and without saying a word, the waiter immediately shut his mouth and obediently made way.
Just like that, Shen Jianyi took the people away casually.
When they got back to the hotel, Shen Jianyi helped Xia Liang onto the bed and kindly poured her a cup of hot water.
Gun stood at the door, blocking the way of the other two women. Obviously, he didn't really want these two women to go in.
Lu Yuan pointed inside and said, "Xia Liang is my friend. She's not feeling well now. I want to go in and take care of her."
"No need," Gun said coldly. "We don't need you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he mercilessly closed the door and then went back into the room.
Shen Jianyi took out a bottle of painkillers from the pocket under her skirt, took out two pills, and handed them to Xia Liang. "Take these first. I don't know if they'll work. These were given by Lu Jinsheng..."
At this point, Shen Jianyi immediately shut her mouth and turned to look at the man behind her.
From the very beginning, Shen Jianyi suspected that he might be Lu Jinsheng. He always showed up just when Lu Jinsheng was not around.
She originally wanted to test him this time, but was delayed by various things. Now that she remembered, she might as well call Lu Jinsheng right in front of him to confirm the relationship between them.
After watching Xia Liang take the pills, she turned to take out her phone and casually dialed Lu Jinsheng's number.
When Gun saw this, he frowned, reached out to take the phone away from the woman's ear, and said coldly, "Who are you calling?"
