Meeting you in autumn

Chapter 143 Hidden Crisis

Not far from this brightly lit banquet hall, there was a dimly lit room.

The room was pitch black, with only a few faint rays of moonlight filtering through the gaps in the curtains, barely enough to make out what was happening inside.

At this moment, three figures stood quietly in the room. The one in the lead was tall and imposing, exuding a cold and aloof aura.

He held a half-burnt cigarette between his fingers, his face obscured by the swirling smoke, but his deep voice revealed his bad mood.

"Is everything done?" he suddenly asked, his voice as cold and piercing as if it came from the deepest hell.

Upon hearing the question, the person standing to the side hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Master, everything has been done according to your orders. I guarantee that tonight will be the night of death for Guan Yu and Feng Li!!!"

The speaker's tone was filled with ruthlessness and determination, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face, as if he was looking forward to the bloody scene that was about to unfold.

After listening to the report, the leading man nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

But then, as if remembering something important, he spoke again, instructing, "Remember, no one is allowed to touch a single hair on Guan Yu's head, understand?"

Yes, the speakers were Mu Yu, Lin Ye, and another person, Qi He.

However, upon hearing this, Qi He, the subordinate standing on the far right, couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but before she could make a sound, she was stopped by the other person next to her—Lin Ye.

Lin Ye quickly gave Qi He a warning look, then preemptively replied, "Understood!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye grabbed Qi He's hand without hesitation and quickly walked out.

Mu Yu stared intently at a certain spot, as if it concealed some unknown secret.

His eyes were slightly red, and his once clear eyes were now bloodshot, revealing an unspeakable anger.

Finally, he broke the silence, saying in a low, hoarse voice, "Guan Yu, I wish you good luck tonight!!"

These words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with intense hatred and resentment.

After saying that, he turned around abruptly and left without looking back, leaving behind only a lonely and resolute figure.

At the banquet, Guan Yu, dressed in a black dress, looked like a goddess of the night descending upon the world.

Her skirt fluttered like a butterfly, light and elegant.

The black veil on her head, like a mysterious veil, covered her bright, star-like eyes, but added a touch of foxy allure.

A subtle smile played at the corners of her slightly upturned eyes.

Beneath her high, straight nose, her lips were painted with a vibrant lipstick, making her alluring and sexy.

She held Guan Yu's hand, each step light and confident, as if she were the star of the banquet, attracting everyone's attention.

Her presence is like a beautiful sight, impossible to ignore.

"Little Winter Melon, you look really charming today!!" Feng Ming teased as he watched the two approach.

"Brother Feng Ming, do you want to get beaten up today? I told you not to call me Little Winter Melon!!!" Guan Yu said angrily.

Ever since returning from the capital, Feng Ming has inexplicably started to think that a winter melon looks like Guan Yu, and that's how he came up with the nickname Guan Yu.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ming was not annoyed. He simply smiled, shook his head, and said softly, "What a pity."

"What's a pity?" Guan Yu asked speechlessly, still puzzled.

"It's a pity your little Yiyi didn't get to see you today!!" Feng Ming said in a smug tone.

Guan Yu rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this. Guan Yu then walked over to Shen Chen and Feng Li.

Feng Li frowned and said, "I have a feeling that tonight's banquet is not simple; it seems to be hiding danger."

Shen Chen, standing to the side, nodded with a serious expression.

"Yes, we'll see how things go when the time comes!" Guan Yu replied.

Upstairs in a room were Jing Yi, Chen Fang, Lu Chuan, and Fu Li.

Fu Li looked at Jing Yi and couldn't help but tease him, "What, couldn't hold back any longer and came looking for someone?"

“Of course! Yi-ge has been either looking for his wife or on his way to look for her for the past week,” Chen Fang said.

"Chen Fang, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!" Lu Chuan rubbed his forehead and said speechlessly.

"Stop talking to me like that, we're not done yet!" Chen Fang said irritably.

Fu Li just smiled helplessly to the side, then turned his gaze back to Jing Yi and said unhurriedly, "You'd better hurry!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out. Jing Yi didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on a figure below.

The crowd below began to sway their bodies to the beat of the upbeat music.

Feng Ming's gaze swept casually over the people on the dance floor.

Suddenly, a familiar figure caught his eye. The figure seemed to possess some kind of magic, drawing him involuntarily through the layers of people and straight toward that figure.

Upon getting closer, Feng Ming finally saw the person clearly, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart: "Li Yuan??"

At this moment, Li Yuan was drinking heartily with her best friends, immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

Suddenly, she heard someone call her name and turned around reflexively.

When her gaze met that of the boy in front of her, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "You...you are Feng..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Feng Ming, seeing her hesitant and reluctant manner, could no longer contain his anxiety and quickly introduced himself, "Feng Ming."

"Oh, right, right, Feng Ming, look at my memory, I finally remembered."

Li Yuan suddenly realized and responded with a smile.

Just then, several of Li Yuan's girlfriends noticed this strikingly handsome young man.

Their gazes were instantly drawn to Feng Ming, and they stared at him intently like infatuated girls.

One of them playfully nudged Li Yuan with his shoulder and teased with a mischievous grin, "Is this your boyfriend? He's really handsome, and you two are a perfect match!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was both amused and exasperated, and quickly waved his hand to explain, "Oh dear, don't talk nonsense, we're just ordinary friends!"

At the same time, Feng Ming's cheeks flushed slightly, making him appear somewhat shy.

However, he quickly seemed to remember something important and hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu is here too."

"Really! Let's go!" Li Yuan liked Guan Yu very much, and he was happy to hear that she was also there.

Feng Ming then brought her to Guan Yu's side. Guan Yu was taken aback when she saw her, and then stepped forward to hug her.

"It's been a long time, I've missed you terribly," Li Yuan said.

"Uh-huh"

The three then found a place to sit down and began to chat about their recent situations.

Guan Yu jokingly said to Li Yuan, "You're still the same as always, you haven't changed at all."

Li Yuanyuan replied with a grin, "No way, I feel like I've matured a lot."

Feng Ming sat quietly to the side, listening to their conversation, his eyes always unconsciously falling on Li Yuan.

At that moment, Guan Yu thought of something and asked, "Xiao Qing, is she alright?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu replied, "Don't worry, she's a very skilled doctor now!"

Li Yuan was relieved after hearing her words.
