Night falls slowly, and the last ray of light gradually disappears below the horizon, casting a mysterious black veil over the entire city.

The vehicle driven by Chang Jianlin shuttled through the busy streets, and finally we arrived at our destination-Henry Hotel.

The car stopped slowly, and as soon as I stepped out of the car door, I was immediately shocked by the sight in front of me.

I saw rows of commercial vehicles parked in front of the hotel. They were lined up neatly, like a strict team, and each one had a Thai license plate, which seemed particularly awkward here.

I couldn't help but look up and saw the towering hotel building looking more solemn and mysterious in the night.

We walked into the hotel lobby and immediately felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

In the hall, bodyguards in black suits can be seen everywhere. The expressions on their faces are stern, and their eyes are as sharp as eagles, constantly scanning everyone.

They were standing or sitting, but they were all observing everything around them vigilantly. It seemed that no corner could escape their eyes.

This tense and chilling atmosphere made people shudder. The air seemed to be frozen, and every breath became extremely heavy.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath, my heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, but I still forced myself to calm down and walked quickly to the elevator.

"Who is Wei Rong going to meet today?" I thought to myself, "Is it really a big shot in Thailand?"

As the elevator slowly rose, the doubts in my heart also increased.

The numbers in the elevator were beating, and every beat seemed to remind me of the unknown I was about to face.

Finally, the elevator dinged and reached the destination floor. I took a deep breath and stepped onto the floor where the banquet hall was located.

Just as I was about to step forward, two burly bodyguards suddenly blocked my way like two insurmountable mountains.

"Sir, please cooperate with us in conducting a security check." One of the bodyguards said coldly, with no warmth in his eyes.

I reluctantly raised my hands and let them search me thoroughly.

Their movements were professional and swift, from head to toe, even the soles of their shoes. At this moment, I seemed to be a transparent person with no secrets to hide.

After checking to make sure I wasn't carrying anything suspicious, they finally moved out of the way.

I pushed open the door of the banquet hall, full of curiosity and nervousness, and looked around, trying to find Wei Rong in the crowd.

At this moment, a familiar yet unexpected voice suddenly came into my ears, leaving me stunned for a moment!

Why is this voice here?

My heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable premonition arose in my heart!

The lights flowed slowly in the banquet hall. Under the light and shadow, a familiar voice slowly sounded: "Mr. Wei, coming here this time is really disturbing."

He Hong's voice was like an uninvited cold current, penetrating the din of the banquet and hitting the bottom of my heart!

I raised my head and looked through the crowd, finally settling on the two people in the conversation.

He Hong was actually standing right in front of Wei Rong. I couldn't believe my eyes because of the lively chatting and laughing between them!

How could He Hong appear here?

What shocked me even more was that Wei Rong, that woman who had always been cold and arrogant, could actually have such an intimate conversation with He Hong!

When He Hong's eyes turned to me, that faint smile made me feel even more uneasy: "Yang Lei, long time no see."

His words flew into my ears lightly, like a bomb detonating in my heart!

I barely controlled my emotions, nodded, and tried my best to look calm.

I sat down and the food in front of me seemed to have lost all its color.

I tried to focus on the plate in front of me, but every word in my ears was like a pinprick that I couldn't ignore.

Every conversation between He Hong and Wei Rong made me have more and more questions.

Why did He Hong appear here?

When did he get together with the Wei family?

What is going on here?

Halfway through the meal, I found an excuse and quietly left my seat.

I quickly walked into the bathroom. The silence there was in sharp contrast to the noise in the banquet hall.

I turned on the faucet and washed my face, trying to calm my panic in this way.

I looked up at the mirror, and what was reflected was a pale-faced man with panic and uneasiness in his eyes.

At this moment, I realized the seriousness of the situation!

I quickly took out my mobile phone and sent a message to Chang Jianlin: "Gather all brothers and guys to stand by at the door of Henry Hotel!"

After sending the message, I tried to calm down.

When he returned to the banquet hall, He Hongzheng was introducing his plans and grand achievements.

His words kept ringing in my ears, but my mind was elsewhere.

He Hong's visit this time turned out to be for the AI ​​face-changing system that I co-developed with the Wei family.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, making my worries even heavier!

Under the light, He Hong's face was filled with unconcealable excitement and ambition, and his voice was full of longing for the future: "Mr. Wei, my campus in the Philippines is booming. If we can deploy a similar system there, With this system, our business can be spread throughout Southeast Asia. By then, profits will not be as simple as doubling."

I sat silently aside and couldn't help but be surprised by He Hong's development over the years.

Obviously, his power in Southeast Asia cannot be underestimated.

Wei Rong's reaction seemed a little hesitant, and there was a hint of consideration in her smile: "Mr. He, your proposal is indeed very promising. However, it involves the issue of technology transfer, and we need to consider it more carefully. . Let’s not discuss this issue today, let’s drink first, and we can talk about the rest slowly.”

She raised her glass, her eyes soft but firm.

At this moment, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wei Rong's attitude gave me a temporary respite. At least, He Hong's proposal would not be answered immediately, which meant that I still had time to consider how to respond next.

During the dinner, He Hong seemed not to pay attention to me at all. His eyes never met mine head-on, as if I didn't exist at all in this occasion.

What is his real purpose?

Did he come here just for the AI ​​face-changing system?

As the banquet ended, everyone said goodbye and left one after another.

Before He Hong left, he said to me lightly: "Yang Lei, let's catch up on old times when we have time another day."

Although his tone sounded calm, the cold light shining in his eyes gave me a chill!

I pretended to be calm, nodded, and watched He Hong leave.

The moment I walked out of the hotel, the night sky outside was exceptionally quiet. The seven or eight vans parked not far away across the street, as well as the figure of Chang Jianlin smoking anxiously, made me sigh in relief.

Chang Jianlin saw me and immediately hurried over, his eyes full of inquiry and worry.

I know that I need to be calm at this moment and handle everything that follows in an orderly manner.

I raised my hand to interrupt what he was about to say: "We'll talk about it when we get back to the company..."

After getting in the car, I breathed a sigh of relief, but my mind was in a mess.

The appearance of He Hong undoubtedly added another layer of variables to this already treacherous old street!

I don't know what he is planning, nor do I know how deep his relationship with the Wei family is.

But one thing I know for sure is that I will never let him succeed.

This AI face-changing system is my lifeline in Lao Cai, and it is also the basis for my foothold in this world of the jungle.

The night was getting darker, and the car was speeding through the streets of the old street, and soon returned to the company.

In the company office, I called Zhou Yang over.

In the room, Chang Jianlin and Zhou Yang looked at me with puzzled expressions, while I smoked without saying a word.
