1272 The Chu Family Banquet
“Boss, I’m the tenant from yesterday,” Jiang Yu explained with a smile. “I just put on some makeup.”
“But what’s with the information on the computer?” The innkeeper was getting more and more confused. “I’ve never registered Lisa as a person.”
“This matter is rather complicated.” Jiang Yu smiled and briefly explained the matter to the boss. However, she didn’t mention hacking the system. Instead, she said that her husband had used false information to cover up the real information.
The boss didn’t know much about this kind of thing, so he believed Jiang Yu’s explanation.
He scratched his head and said, “Aiya, luckily there was fake information. Otherwise, I don’t even dare to imagine what would have happened to you. It’s alright, as long as you’re fine. Don’t worry, I will never tell anyone about this.”
“Then, thank you, boss.” Jiang Yu smiled and returned to her room.
After what happened just now, Jiang Yu didn’t feel like eating anymore. She simply sat on the bed and turned on her computer.
After the incident with the old lady who sold flowers yesterday, Jiang Yu decided not to go out so openly for the next few days. It was better to use the computer in her room to search for information first.
However, not long after, Jiang Yu received a call from Mo Long, “Yu’er, where are you now?”
Jiang Yu replied, “I’m in my room now. I’m going to use the computer to check for information on the Chi family and the human-making experiment. What’s wrong?”
“Do you know the Chu family of Qingcheng?” asked Mo Long.
“I don’t know. But the computer is right beside me, I can check it.” Jiang Yu said as she investigated the Chu family.
Jiang Yu quickly found information about the Chu family, but it was very little. There were only a few sentences “The Chu family is the biggest family in the city of Qing?”f𝘳𝐞𝒆wｅ𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟e𝑙. c𝘰𝓂
“Yes,” Mo Long said, “but the Chu family has always kept a low profile. If it wasn’t for the invitation to their banquet being sent to my mailbox, I wouldn’t have known that there was such a family in Qingcheng.”
Jiang Yu was a little stunned and asked, “What invitation?”
“It’s the coming of age ceremony for the Chu family’s daughter,” Mo Long said with a heavy tone.
“The Chu family’s daughter?” Jiang Yu paused. After checking on the computer, she found out that the Chu family’s daughter was called Chu Jie. She had just turned eighteen this year and had officially become an adult.
However, why did they invite Mo Long to Chu Jie’s coming of age ceremony? They were clearly two families that had no connection at all, so why did Mo Long get his invitation?
“Are you going?” Jiang Yu asked after some thought.
“I don’t plan on going,” Mo Long said. “They don’t come without a reason. For the Chu clan to invite someone they’ve never met to such a grand event like the coming-of-age ceremony, it’s enough to show that they have a purpose.”
“Yes …” Jiang Yu pondered and said, “but since you’ve been invited, if you don’t go, I might look for you on other matters in the future. How about this, if you really don’t want to attend the Chu family’s banquet, then you can refuse, and we can go and take a look as passersby. I just saw that the Chu family’s banquet is open to all, and anyone can attend. It’s just that the person who sends the invitation card is a VIP.”
“Alright,” said Mo Long after a moment of silence.
“Okay, I’ll go find you tomorrow. I’m in a safe situation, so I shouldn’t attract any attention if I go to you.” Jiang Yu suggested.
“Okay, bring the bodyguard with you. He’ll protect you.”
“Alright,” he said.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu simply packed some things. Because she had to pretend to be a passerby that day, she had specially brought her makeup bag and was prepared to buy a few daily clothes for Mo Long. This way, she would look more like a passerby.
The next morning, Jiang Yu woke up early and took the yellow van by the roadside to Mo Long’s residence while there were not many people on the street. The yellow van was a big feature of Qingcheng, but most people still liked to take rental cars or special cars, so the drivers of the yellow van rarely received any business.
After a long time, not many people were willing to be the coachman of the yellow van. The people who were still pulling rickshaws now were either people who had a unique love for this line of work, or people who were so poor that they couldn’t afford to buy a car, or middle-aged and elderly people who were unwilling to hire rental companies.
However, it was precisely because of this that Jiang Yu was at ease taking the yellow van. Moreover, there was a curtain in the yellow van, which made it more convenient for Jiang Yu to hide herself.
The bodyguards only arrived near Mo Long’s residence fifteen minutes after Jiang Yu left.
Jiang Yu arrived at Mo Long’s residence and looked around. After making sure that no one was following her, she walked into the alley and knocked on Mo Long’s door.
Mo Long saw Jiang Yu through the peephole on the door and immediately opened the door to let her in.
