Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 664 - 87 I Find You Very Suspicious

The weekend arrived.

Wang Yunxiao glanced down at the watch on his wrist.

Five fifteen.

The driver was Old Master He, who after some grooming, had jet-black shiny hair and a ruddy complexion, completely disguising his age as an elder in his seventies or eighties.

Old Master He was playing the role of the Wu Family’s driver today.

Naturally, the passengers in the car were the Wu couple and their son and daughter-in-law.

From their appearances alone, there were almost no flaws to be found.

And after several days of thorough investigation, Wang Yunxiao was confident that no one could see through his disguise.

The real weak point lay with He Lan.

The acting skills of the First Ms. Liu and the eldest senior brother had been tested over many years and could be said to be flawlessly natural.

Only He Lan had less experience and was less thick-skinned.

However, Wang Yunxiao found he had underestimated the young lady.

As she said herself, she only acted worthless in front of him, not usually so.

Silent He Lan looked no different from any well-bred young lady.

Wang Yunxiao just hoped she wouldn’t falter at the scene.

"This time, our first goal is to seek wealth, and the second is to observe people."

Old Master He whispered a reminder, "Remember all the guests at the scene, including those from the Shen Family. If you notice anything unusual, don’t act rashly. Remember our purpose, and do not disrupt our own ranks."

What Old Master He meant was not to act like the foolish protagonists in movies, who can’t control their urge to show off.

Unable to help himself, Wang Yunxiao asked, "What kind of people should we pay special attention to?"

"You’ll know when the time comes," the Old Master replied with a smile. "If the Shen Family were to hand over the Imperial Jade Seal smoothly, some people would become restless. Tonight, something will definitely happen, and we will judge based on the situation then."

"Alright, we’ve arrived. Get off the car. Remember to talk as little as possible and keep a low profile."

The car stopped in the courtyard, Old Master He stepped out and calmly adjusted his sleeves, then turned around to open the car door.

Wang Yunxiao reached out his hand to assist his wife out of the car.

He Lan’s hands were ice cold, showing signs of nervousness.

Knowing nervousness was a good sign, if she weren’t nervous and still playing little games like tickling palms with Wang Yunxiao, he would be cursing.

This was a luxurious mansion owned by the Shen Family.

With numerous mansions like this owned by the Shen Family, even though most of their assets had been confiscated, the family still held a grand pose. The brightly lit Western-style villa indicated that tonight’s banquet would not be a small expenditure.

Cars already filled the yard, and the air was thick with the smell of engine oil.

Wang Yunxiao had just stepped out of the car when he spotted familiar faces.

Not dolls... but the Tang siblings, dressed up like splendid butterflies, still exuding elegance and composure, showing no trace of their school-time embarrassments.

At the entrance, a handsome young man with golden glasses, looking dignified yet beastly, greeted the guests. He took the invitation from the eldest senior brother and quickly scanned the four guests, his face breaking into a harmless smile.

"Excuse me for asking, are you Mr. Wu Jingzhan from the Water Affairs Bureau?"

"Yes, I’ve mentioned on the phone that Director Meng has urgent official duties today and couldn’t make it..."

"Yes, we are aware. And these are your family?"

"My wife, and my son and daughter-in-law."

"Very well, someone will guide you once you enter."

The handsome young man was very polite and efficient, inexplicably likable.

Wang Yunxiao walked past him, then turned back for another look.

After a moment, he turned again to take another look, and sniffed.

Something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

In such a setting, it wasn’t appropriate to pull out a notebook to check.

He silently put this young man on the top of his surveillance list.

"What’s wrong?"

After entering, He Lan couldn’t help but ask quietly, noticing Wang Yunxiao’s unusual behavior.

"Did you see that person just now?"

"Yes, a very handsome young man..."

"His perfume is too high-end."

"Eh?"

He Lan was puzzled: "I didn’t smell any perfume. Besides, aren’t the Shen Family quite wealthy? Using some perfume should be a normal thing, right?"

"Just because the Shen Family is wealthy doesn’t mean a little doorman at their door can afford such high-end perfume. Plus, the fact you didn’t smell it proves that this perfume is extraordinary."

Wang Yunxiao quietly explained, "The original purpose of perfume wasn’t to make others smell a fragrance, but to mask one’s own scent. The more high-end the perfume, the lighter the scent."

"I suspect that this person has direct lineage blood of the Shen Family... But I’ve never heard before that the Shen Family had such depth."

What kind of thing is the Shen Family?

Simply summarized in three words—nouveau riche.

The only so-called outstanding heir, Shen Qingxi, is gone too.

Could it be that this young man is the ’hidden card’ of the Shen Family?

Wang Yunxiao found it somewhat unbelievable.

Nonetheless, the banquet has just begun, he has plenty of time to watch the Shen Family’s performance.

......

People from the Wu Family?

Li Mumu silently gazed at the guest list.

The Wu Family is by no means a powerful clan, at most they are upper-middle class, their social status and that of her own father are not far apart.

Just a general manager of the Water Affairs Bureau.

Isn’t the temperament of this family a bit too composed?

Let’s not talk about that, when exactly is that bastard Wang Yunxiao coming?

My feet are getting sore from standing here.

I would like to see, how do you plan to sneak in?

Just as Li Mumu’s anxiety was building up, new guests arrived.

A lonely middle-aged man, thin but with an aura of superiority, holding a heavy ebony walking stick.

"Hello, may I ask..."

"I don’t have an invitation."

Well...

Why do you say something like not having an invitation with such confidence?

The middle-aged man did not say another word, and directly handed over a waist badge.

It was engraved with the big words "King Mu’s Mansion."

Li Mumu: "..."

This is a real imperial kinsmen, a distinguished and noble family.

Compared to King Mu’s Mansion, including the Shen Family and other guests on the list, no one dare claim they are from a powerful clan.

What about an invitation? You didn’t send an invitation to King Mu’s Mansion, that’s your unworthiness. It’s an honor for you that someone from King Mu’s Mansion attends your banquet!

"So, it’s a distinguished guest from King Mu’s Mansion. I’m sorry I didn’t know you would come; the Family Head wasn’t able to welcome you from afar. May I know how to address you, sir?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Li Mumu and said lightly: "It’s alright, I came here on a whim. I heard you were holding an event, so I came to check it out. I am Mu Yuheng, are you the grandson of Shen Jianzhen?"

Li Mumu smiled, "I’m not surnamed Shen."

"I thought not, you don’t look like one. What is your surname?"
