Chapter 29: Birthday Banquet

  Tong Sheng, who looked exceptionally handsome and was dressed impeccably, seemed to have noticed Ma Tong's gaze. He raised his eyes to look at Ma Tong, only to find that the other person was completely unfamiliar. His eyes immediately filled with disdain, as if saying that in this small world of Xi Hua, anyone he didn't know wasn't worth his attention!

  Tong Sheng's contempt made Ma Tong unable to suppress the violent killing intent in his heart, and his bulging right hand had already touched the gun handle under his armpit.

  All I need is one shot to avenge my father!

  Just as Matou was about to draw his gun and kill his enemy, Yī Qīng Chéng's cold voice reached his ears: "I can sense the killing intent in your heart, but even if you are a cultivator, you absolutely cannot kill someone in public. Have you heard of Huaxia Country's Dragon Unit? They specialize in managing cultivators and ability users! If you provoke them, even I would only be able to run away!"

  Ma Tong's hand on the gun handle paused, and in a voice that only he and Yi Qingcheng could hear, he said: "But the hatred of killing one's father is not shared by heaven and earth. Before, I didn't have the ability, but now I do!"

  Yi Qiancheng fell silent for a moment before speaking in a soft voice, "Be rational, you can find a secluded place to do it again, I have a way to help you do it without anyone noticing. Why must you kill on the street? Even if you don't consider yourself, shouldn't you consider your family's feelings? Moreover, this is the Ling residence, don't you care about Wan Qing's feelings?"

  Ma Tong's hand, which had been gripping the gun in his waist, slowly relaxed. Yi Qingcheng's words were like a splash of cold water that extinguished his desire to kill. Yeah, even if he wasn't afraid for himself, he still had his mother and Wanqing to think about! He also felt that he hadn't been quite normal lately, it seemed like since that night in the warehouse, his temper had become particularly violent, and he would easily get into fights with people, the number of times he'd gotten into fights recently was almost equal to the total number of times he'd fought in all the previous years!

  "Let him live for two more days!" Ma Tong suddenly turned around and said in a low voice with gritted teeth.

  Yi Qiancheng smiled with relief and said, "Let's go, don't keep Wan Qing waiting!"

  In the Ling family's grand, over 1,000 square meter, lavishly decorated banquet hall, men and women dressed to the nines had already gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing together. Waiters with neat appearances and attire wove through the crowds, respectfully serving various wines and drinks. When Yi Qian Cheng and Ma Tong appeared at the entrance of the grand hall, everyone's gaze suddenly converged on them!

  After a brief moment of silence, the hall became even more lively. When Yi Qiancheng appeared, shining brightly like a full moon, a group of rich young men who were dressed up and thought highly of themselves all turned away from their female companions and swarmed around her like flies: "Miss Yi, long time no see!" "Miss Yi, you're still so beautiful, truly a stunning beauty!" Even a big fat man with a protruding belly, like a mountain of flesh, stretched out a greasy big hand towards Yi Qiancheng, seemingly wanting to shake hands with her. But before he could, Ma Tong's huge hand clamped down on his wrist like an iron claw, causing him to yell out in pain: "Ah! So painful! You, let go!"

  Ma Tong didn't react at all until Yi Qingcheng nodded slightly, and then he coldly shook off Pangzi's hand.

  At this time, everyone noticed Ma Tong, who was overshadowed by Yi Qingcheng's stunning beauty, and couldn't help but become very curious. Who is this guy who looks familiar but is actually a stranger? He even dared to lay hands on You Pangzi, the famous son of Xi Hua City?

  "What kind of person are you?! How dare you lay hands on me?!" The fat man, still fuming and covered in cold sweat, furiously questioned Ma Tong.

  Ma Tong said calmly: "My name is Ma Tong. Tonight, I am in charge of Miss Yi's safety. Please understand!"

  Everyone was in an uproar: just a bodyguard, how dare he make a move at the Ling family's dinner party, and the one who made the move was none other than the detestable You Baozi? It seems that this guy Ma Tong is in for it today!

  The fatty was furious and laughed sarcastically, pointing at Ma Tong's nose: "So you're just a bodyguard, our bodyguards are all outside, what makes you think you can come in?"

  Ma Tong didn't respond, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the fat man's hand that was pointing at his own nose, turned it over and sent it flying, pushing the two-hundred-pound fat man several meters away. He crashed heavily into a waiter, causing the tray in the waiter's hand to flip over, spilling wine all over the fat man's head and face, even his expensive suit wasn't spared.

  The crowd was in an uproar again: Who gave Ma Tong such a big nerve? Yi Qingcheng? Not enough qualifications!

  These upper-class people didn't actually put the Asian pop queen, Yi Qingcheng, in their eyes. After all, no matter how popular an artist is, they are just a performer to them. Their enthusiasm and flattery towards Yi Qingcheng were ultimately for the sake of being close to her fame.

  To say nothing of Yi Qingcheng, who is now standing aside with a smile, seemingly without any intention of intervening. It seems that this bodyguard must have taken the wrong medicine and gone crazy!

  Actually, Ma Tong had been holding back a fire in his heart from the beginning. At this moment, he was already showing mercy, otherwise Fatso would not have been able to get up now. However, Fatso did not think so and felt that he had suffered a great humiliation. His fat face turned red with anger, his thick lips trembling like sausages: "Good, a stinky bodyguard dares to fight me! If I don't kill you today, my name is not Yu Huanzi!"

  Just as Baozi was about to take out his phone to call someone, a clear voice came from the doorway: "Baozi, forget it. Today is Wanqing's birthday party. You should spare my and Ling's family's face and not make trouble!"

  Although his tone was gentle when speaking, he put the Ling family behind him in his words. A kind of arrogance and invincibility that was inherent in his bones came rushing out!

  Ma Tong followed the sound and looked over, his eyes suddenly turned cold. It was none other than Tong Sheng, the person he had almost killed with his own hands just a moment ago!

  You Pingzi seemed to be somewhat intimidated by Tong Sheng, and after hearing this, he was stunned for a moment before saying: "Young Master Tong, it's not that I don't want to give you and the Ling family face, but as you've also seen, even a bodyguard dares to attack me in public. If I let him off today, how can I, You Pingzi, still survive in Xi Hua?"

  Tong Sheng didn't even glance at Ma Tong, and proudly said to You Pangzi: "I'm just telling you not to make trouble here and now, as for what happens later, I couldn't care less! If you feel like you're losing face right now, then have this bodyguard go where he should be!" Only then did he turn to Yi Qingcheng with a smile: "I think Miss Yi shouldn't have any objections either, right?"

  Yi Qiancheng seemed to have made up her mind to watch the excitement, and upon hearing this, she simply shrugged her fragrant shoulders, neither saying it was good nor bad.

  Ma Tong clenched his fists, and the murderous intent that had been suppressed with great difficulty rose again: This Tong Sheng seemed to be a harmonious and affable person on the surface, but in reality he was arrogant to the extreme. It seemed that he didn't even put Yi Qingcheng in his eyes, let alone an unknown person like himself!

  Yu Pangzi finally reacted, his face changing several times as he said: "Alright, I'll give you face, Young Master Tong!" He then turned to Ma Tong, furious and scowling: "Consider yourself lucky this time! Where are the people from the Ling family? Why haven't they thrown this guy out yet?"

  Several bodyguards of the Ling family outside the door saw the current situation and looked at Butler Wang, but saw that Wang had a meaningful smile on his face and shook his head slightly. They understood that Wang meant to let them not intervene, so they stood still with their hands tied, pretending not to hear You Fangzi's words.

  The people at Ling's house ignored him, and Yu Baozi was so angry that he stormed off towards Ma Tong, looking like he wanted to throw him out personally!

  It's really a case of remembering to eat but not remembering being beaten! Just as Ma Tong was about to lose control and lash out, a melodious voice like music rang out.

  "Ma Tong is my invited guest, none of you can drive him away!"

  The guests heard the sound and looked over, only to see a beautiful woman walking down the stairs at the end of the hall, like a fairy emerging from the waves.

  The woman wore a pure white off-the-shoulder evening gown, with long aquamarine earrings swaying gently as she moved, making her skin look like frozen cream. The curved and beautiful high chest made her slender waist seem like it couldn't withstand a grasp. Her high black hair bun complemented the snow-like dress, making her neck look even longer. The delicate folds at the hem of the long skirt rippled lightly with each step, revealing a pair of slender feet wearing eight-inch crystal high heels...

  But her exquisite face, as if carved by God, now carried a faint anger...

  She is the heroine of tonight's party - Ling Wanqing!
