Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Xiaotang, It’s Very Dangerous Here_1

Lu Feng stroked his beard, confidently saying, “Since Young Master Bai has requested, I’m certainly willing to help!”

He unexpectedly agreed right away.

Hai Xiaotang was elated, “Master Lu, are you truly willing to help us? Thank you, thank you so much!”

Lu Feng chuckled, “Don’t rush to thank me yet, I am not certain how much I can help. I have many guests at the moment, let’s discuss it later, okay?”

“Sure!” Hai Xiaotang naturally consented.

Then Lu Feng found some people to attend to them, while he went to welcome other guests.

As he departed, Hai Xiaotang excitedly said to Bai Jinyu, “I didn’t expect him to agree so readily. Mr. Bai, I really appreciate your assistance.”

Bai Jinyu chuckled, “It’s Master Lu helping you, not me. Why do you thank me?”

Hai Xiaotang responded matter-of-factly, “Master Lu agreed to assist me due to your influence. I am grateful to him, but I am also appreciative of you!”

Bai Jinyu smiled, “When you find your grandpa, then you can thank me.”

“I will!” Hai Xiaotang nodded firmly.

If she really found her grandpa, she would be extremely grateful to him.

No, even if she didn’t manage to find him, she would still be grateful to him.

Hai Xiaotang, having seen hope, was in a much better mood and enjoyed quite a feast.

However, at such a banquet, few people were there solely for the food. Most were moving about, trying to mingle and converse with potential allies and acquaintances.

Bai Jinyu was also mingling and socializing with a drink in hand.

Sitting alone at the dining table, Hai Xiaotang leisurely enjoyed her food, observing the situation around her.

Suddenly, she spotted a tall, familiar figure in the crowd!

Upon seeing him, Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, thinking she was seeing things.

The man in the distance turned around, and their eyes met…

Both were very astonished!

Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, she certainly did not expect to meet Tao Yi at such a banquet.

It had already been half a year since they last met…

Seeing her, Tao Yi was equally surprised, but he didn’t show any particular reaction. Instead, he naturally diverted his gaze as if he didn’t recognize her at all.

Watching his reaction, Hai Xiaotang’s eyes fluctuated slightly as if she understood something.

She got up and moved to the balcony for some fresh air, and sure enough, not long after, Tao Yi arrived. Holding a wine glass, it appeared as if he had deliberately come over to make conversation.

“Xiaotang, what are you doing here?” Tao Yi lowered his voice and asked as he joined her.

Hai Xiaotang counter-questioned as well, “And why are you here, Brother Tao?”

He was a soldier, right? Why would he attend such a banquet where not all attendees were assumed to be good people?

So Hai Xiaotang speculated, “Are you here on a mission?”

“Mm.” Tao Yi responded lightly, but his sharp gaze subtly scanned the surroundings, appearing very alert.

“Xiaotang, it’s very dangerous here, no matter what you’re here for, leave immediately! Do you hear me?!” Tao Yi warned in a low voice before departing abruptly without further conversation.

Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, a sense of unease growing in her heart.

Since Tao Yi had warned her, she needed to leave immediately.

It was a shame, though, she likely wouldn’t be able to ask Master Lu for help in searching for her grandpa today.

Hai Xiaotang knew the stakes and immediately decided to leave.

However, she was sure to bring Bai Jinyu along.

Just as Hai Xiaotang was preparing to find Bai Jinyu, suddenly a gunshot rang out!

The bustling banquet hall fell deathly silent in an instant, which was quickly followed by the sound of more gunshots…
