Chapters List

Chapter 324: Du Lai

In truth, the surrounding environment was quite simple. After all, it was an underground parking lot. However, the tables were neatly arranged, the tablecloths hung with beautiful folds, the colors of the dishes were tempting, and the surrounding area was decorated with lights and flowers, creating a hazy sense of a splendid banquet.

Bai Youwei glanced around, and if all the seats were filled, the venue could accommodate at least fifty people.

She didn't see the so-called Professor Song, but there were few guests present, so perhaps Professor Song would be the last to arrive.

After Chu Huaijin arranged for them to be seated, he briefly introduced them to the other guests, all of whom were core members of the organization, from the evaluation team, research team, materials team, internal affairs team, and so on.

"Professor Song always stays in his laboratory. If no one reminds him, he won't even remember to eat," Chu Huaijin said to everyone with a smile. "You guys eat first, I'll go invite Professor Song over."

After speaking, he got up and left, leaving Shen Fei to instruct him to take good care of everyone.

Not long after Chu Huaijin left, more guests arrived one after another.

In addition to the internal members of the organization, there were also "outsiders" like Shen Mo and Yan Qingwen, presumably key targets for the organization to recruit, so they were also invited.

Shen Fei sat next to Shen Mo and whispered to his cousin:

"…That bald guy who looks very strong has been in the maze, he's very strong, he can crush rocks… The skinny one next to him is his good brother, these two just joined the evaluation team not long ago."

"That middle-aged man with glasses used to be a bank financial manager, he's very good at mathematics and logical reasoning."

"The boy in the red T-shirt is young, only 17 years old, he's a gymnast, his body balance and explosiveness are very strong…"

Another young man walked in at the door, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and hip-hop shorts. He looked around, his eyes accurately fixed on Shen Mo's table, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Shen Fei was slightly stunned, "Brother, do you know him?"

Shen Mo frowned and replied, "I don't know him."

Shen Fei lowered his voice and said, "His name is Du Lai. He's said to be a street magician. He's been in the Hangzhou and Shanghai mazes, and he's also the only one here who survived the hide-and-seek game."

After a pause, he added, "The people who teamed up with him to enter the game didn't survive… Hey, hey, hey! Why is he walking over here?!"

Shen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the hooded boy approaching, his gaze shifted and looked at Bai Youwei beside him.

Bai Youwei was eating with her head down.

Most of the dishes here were cold, so she didn't eat much, but she kept drinking the wine intermittently. She didn't know where the materials team had found it, but it was all good wine with some age.

Shen Mo said to her in a low voice, "Drink less."

Bai Youwei was in high spirits, ignoring him.

He raised his hand and pressed down on the wine glass.

She tried hard to take it, but the wine glass seemed to be nailed to the table, unmoving.

Bai Youwei: "…"

"Okay." Bai Youwei relented, "I won't drink anymore after I finish this half glass, okay?"

At this time, Du Lai had already approached and greeted with a smile:

"Miss Bai Youwei, what a coincidence~ I didn't expect to see you here."

Shen Mo let go of his hand, raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently, "What's the matter?"

Du Lai was slightly stunned.

And Bai Youwei was drinking wine.

Du Lai's eyes glanced at Yan Qingwen at the next table, and he quickly realized that he had misunderstood. Bai Youwei's real companion was the one in front of him…

He smiled and replied politely, "I wanted to ask about trading props."

"Today we are here for a banquet, just eating, not talking about business." Shen Mo's tone was indifferent.

The smile on the corner of Du Lai's mouth stagnated slightly, "…I heard that there are many people visiting today, so I wanted to ask, afraid that if I asked too late, the substitute doll would be snatched away first."

"Props used to lure big fish will not be easily sold." Shen Mo retracted his gaze and stopped looking at him. "You can go back to your seat, Mr. Du."
