When the four of them sat in the lounge, Zhou Xuan naturally guessed what Dong Peng wanted to ask, so he spoke first. “Uncle Dong, do you also believe the rumors outside and suspect that I’m the person who hired Dong Yan?”
“I don’t doubt you.” Dong Peng didn’t hesitate at all and said the answer in his heart. “I know your father too. We’ve been friends for so many years. I believe you’re not that kind of person.”
When Zhou Xuan heard this, his gaze became narrow and firm. “Then I believe that with Uncle Dong’s intelligence, you should be able to guess who did it without me telling you.”
“Of course I can guess that. Why else would I be here today?”

I hope that you can defeat the Tang Corporation in the end and obtain the right to cooperate with the Las Vegas delegation.”

“I understand. Of course, this is also what I hope for.” Zhou Xuan’s every word was filled with a powerful aura that filled the entire lounge. “However, we beat Tang Li in the first round. In the second round, she will definitely increase the price as much as possible to win the initiative.”
“This is inevitable.”
Mu Wei was about to interrupt, but before he could finish, there was a knock on the door. “Please come in!”
A lady in a waiter’s uniform pushed open the door and said in a very sweet voice, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is red wine for you for free. Please enjoy.” With that, she placed the four glasses of red wine by the table and turned to walk out.
However, when the door was closed and no one could see it, the waiter walked straight to Tang Li. She turned slightly to Tang Li’s ear and covered her mouth with one hand. “Don’t worry, President Tang. As long as they take a sip, they won’t wake up for two hours.”
“Well done.” Tang Li handed the bank card in her hand to the waiter. “This is your tip. Remember to keep your mouth shut.”
“Don’t worry, President Tang.” The waiter took it and beamed. “Then I’ll leave first. If you need anything else in the future, you can look for me again.”
Tang Li did not respond, but her gaze towards the lounge became mocking and disdainful. She sneered. “In the end, Zhou Xuan is still too young.”
“That’s right.” The assistant, Tang Hong, immediately echoed. A smile appeared on her lips. “Two hours is enough. When the second round of the auction begins, as long as Zhou Xuan isn’t present, the Zhou family won’t be able to continue the auction. At that time, only you will be left. Wouldn’t the right to cooperate in the project be in our hands? By the time they discover them, the auction will have already ended.”
At the same time, in the lounge, Mu Wei explained the current situation as he reached out to take the red wine on the table. However, in the next second, a cold voice immediately stopped him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Don’t move!” Shan Yue shouted with a smile. Her eyes were cold and indifferent, but her lips curved into a half-smile. “There’s something wrong with this wine. The pure red wine should be fluttering with the fragrance of fruit and flowers. There’s a sour taste mixed in. There’s something in this wine.”
As an assassin, Shan Yue was already familiar with the taste of various knockout drugs. Just the color and taste were enough to determine if there was a foreign object in a glass of water. Faced with this method, Shan Yue could see through it at a glance.
After hearing Shan Yue’s words, Mu Wei was shocked. He shook the red wine glass in his hand twice and even put it in front of his eyes to take a look. “How can that be? I think it’s fine. It’s just a glass of wine. There’s no need to be so nervous.”
Seeing that he did not believe her, Shan Yue curled her lips into a smile, her eyebrows revealing mockery. “If you don’t believe me, you can try taking a sip. It’ll be a good opportunity for the two of them to see if I’m right.”
Mu Wei looked at the teasing gaze in Shan Yue’s eyes and then at the red wine in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he finally placed it back on the table.

In the end, after a discussion, the Las Vegas delegation nodded at each other to express their unity of opinion.
Smith took the microphone from the host. “Next, I announce that the final winner of this Las Vegas project is the Zhou Corporation, Zhou Xuan!”
