Chapter Forty-two Guessing

  Speculate

  "It's so beautiful." Liao Xinxin was still muttering to herself half an hour after Ge Tianyu's opening dance had ended, "How can it be that beautiful?"

  Shen Si Jia put down her wine glass on the table, her eyes scanning around at the groups of people gathered together chatting about something, "Hmm, the dancing is not bad. The clothes are also good clothes, but it just gives me a very uncomfortable feeling."

  "Uh-huh." Liao Xinxin nodded, "Beautifully dark."

  Just then, Liao Xinxin caught a glimpse of Ge Tianyu coming down from a side staircase and saying a few words to someone from the Yu family before walking out of the hall through a side door. Before entering the hall, they had already obtained the hotel's architectural layout diagram. From the left side door, it was the hotel's backyard, and then you could go out onto the street through the back door. She immediately pulled at the flowing tassels on Shen Sijia's evening dress and gestured towards the side door.

  "Alright, let's get started." Shen Sijia stood up from her seat and snapped her fingers at the waiter not far away. The handsome waiter in a tailcoat, holding champagne, immediately came over with a big smile on his face.

  "Wow, walking so fast won't even scatter them out," said Liao Xinxin.

  Xin Xin rolled her eyes, "Do you think everyone is like you, acting like they have infantile paralysis?"

  "Miss Shen, is there anything I can get for you?" The waiter asked with a polite smile.

  "The men are all over there discussing business, I don't find it convenient to go over. Would you mind going over and asking my brother when he's coming back? If his work is busy then there's no need for him to accompany me." Shen Sijia said, pointing in the direction where Shen Yu was.

  "Alright, I'll be happy to serve you." The waiter said as he walked over to Shen Yu.

  Shen Yuhe and Yin Changjing were drinking and chatting with some young masters from prestigious families. If one only looked at their enthusiasm, it seemed like they were getting along great, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that Yin Changjing was making an effort to suppress himself and not lose his patience.

  "Hello, you have to be calm about this, this conversation is very important." Shen Yu glanced at Yin Changjing and said in a low voice, then saw a waiter walking over.

  "Excuse me, sir. Miss Shen just sent a message to ask when you're heading back. If you're busy with work, there's no need to accompany Miss Shen." The waiter shifted his body slightly to the side, and just caught sight of Shen Si Jia standing by the table smiling at him, Shen Yu nodded lightly in her direction before smiling at the waiter, "Thank you."

  As he watched the waiter walk away, Yin Changjing leaned over and asked, "Has the protagonist made a move?"

  "Hmm." Shen Yu buttoned up his coat, "I reckon it was either Ge Tianyu or Yu Jingyang who just left."

  "Then where do we chase from?"

  "The main gate, I've been staring at it. They should have left from one of the two side gates. Let's split up and follow them separately. I'll take the left side, you're in charge of the right side." Shen Yu glanced around the hall, seeing no one noticing their movements, and signaled Yin Changjing to go first.

  "Excuse me for a moment, I've had a bit too much to drink. To be honest, I'm not very good at drinking, so I'll just go to the garden to get some fresh air." Shen Yu said to the several young masters he had been chatting with, then walked out from the side door on the left.

  His identity is relatively sensitive and he is in charge of the Yu family case, so his actions at the dinner party are restricted to a large extent, and I don't know how many eyes are watching him.

  So he brought his sister and Liao Xin Xin here, especially his sister Si Jia, as the eldest daughter of the Shen family who often attends various large banquets and balls, so it's most suitable for her to help keep an eye on several related people.

  Cecilia was always clever and it suited her better to convey messages in this way than for the two of them to talk, which would have been much more noticeable.

  There was no light outside the door, especially after it was closed. Shen Yu closed his eyes to adapt to the darkness, as a detective, they all had to develop eyes like a hunting dog.

  He soon adapted to the darkness outside, a small path winding from the side door all the way forward. Shen Yu smiled and walked quickly past.

  The door of the storage room was slightly ajar, and from here you could see the side exit of the hall.

  The man with the duck tongue hat narrowed his eyes to watch Ge Tianyu and Shen Yi walk out one after another, then tilted his head, and took out an old Nokia phone to make a call.

  "I know it's out, I've seen it. Right in the garden, okay, there's something that needs to be handed over to you."

  Then he opened his mobile phone case and removed the SIM card, casually throwing it into a storage box.

  The path didn't have any forks, so Shen Yu just walked slowly along the path. The dense and tall shrubs on both sides of the path made it easy to feel eerie at night, and he couldn't help but wonder how the gardener had designed this place. Such a luxurious hotel's backyard garden was planted with such mismatched flowers and trees.

  A faint cracking sound suddenly came from a not-too-distant place, as if someone had accidentally stepped on and broken a small branch. If it weren't for the extremely quiet night, probably no one would have noticed this sound.

  Shen Yu furrowed his brow, this voice, could it be Ge Tianyu? He slowed down even more, his body slowly moving closer to the source of the sound.

  The shrubs were very high and dense, it was really hard to see clearly in the night, although Ge Tianyu's clothes were very bright, but it was still difficult to be discovered in this environment. Shen Yu's face looked a bit unsightly, now he couldn't afford to startle the snake at the initial stage of exploration, he thought for a moment and straightened his body that was close to the shrub branches.

  Just as he was about to turn around and go back, a clear female voice rang out from somewhere in front of him.

  "So you're here, I've been searching for you everywhere, I've walked around this place three times already."

  Then Ge Tianyu said in a soft and gentle voice, "Can you lower your voice? Do you want everyone to know that I ran away from the banquet? Didn't I say I'd be out within an hour? You can wait for me at the back door, why did you come in looking for me?"

  "I was watching from outside and saw that there wasn't a single streetlight on this side, I'm afraid something might happen to you."

  Shen Yu stopped at a corner, which was already close to the back door of the hotel. The streetlights outside cast the shadows of two girls on the ground, one with a high bun, who should be Ge Tianyu, and the other with pigtails.

  "Let's go," said Ge Tianyu.

  "Hmm, I left you some food." The girl said.

  Two people walked away with their arms around each other, Shen Yu came out from behind the shrubs at the corner, his eyes reflecting the back of the girl with a ponytail.

  If he didn't remember wrongly, this girl seemed to have met her at some time.
