Chapter 432: All The Lights in the Venue went Out in an Instant

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The banquet hall was equipped with projection equipment, but the engagement ceremony was simple. It had not been turned on or used since the beginning.

At this moment, all the lights in the venue went out in an instant. The projector suddenly lit up and the projection screen was lowered. Everyone vaguely understood that someone was going to cause trouble.

On the surface, Patriarch Cheng hosted today’s engagement party. To put it bluntly, it was more like another form of social gathering. Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci were not the main characters.

Everyone began to whisper among themselves.

“What’s going on?” Lin Shanchu heard Patriarch Cheng’s voice not far away.

The hotel staff rushed over to report the situation.

The scene became more and more chaotic.

At this moment, a projection appeared on the projection screen, accompanied by sound.

“Yesterday, the president of Lu Corporation accompanied Tang Qidai to a dinner party. The atmosphere between the two of them was as intimate as a couple…

“Lu Shiyuan invested a lot of money in Tang Qidai’s new drama…

“According to the online rumor, Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai were about to get married…

The projected video showed what happened between Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan in Xu City.

At that time, Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai had yet to fall out with each other. The two of them often attended public events in a high-profile manner and ignored the media reports.

Now, someone edited those reports and footage into a compilation video and broadcasted it at Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci’s engagement party.

The surround sound system spread the contents of the compilation video to every corner of the banquet hall.

The discussions at the scene gradually grew louder.

In the dim light, Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou noticed her doubt, so he explained in a low voice, “It wasn’t me.”

“Then who is it?” She sent the video of Tang Qidai to Huo Xunzhou, knowing that he would definitely prepare everything. When she saw the compilation video, her first reaction was to think that Huo Xunzhou was behind it.

“Number 1357,” Huo Xunzhou reminded her.

She had almost forgotten about Number 1357.

No wonder Number 1357 sat far away from her when she entered the banquet hall. It turned out that he was the one behind this.

He did not expect the system to be so mischievous as to play such a video at Tang Qidai’s engagement party.

He wanted to embarrass the Cheng family before Tang Qidai went to jail again.

Tang Qidai heaved a sigh of relief for no reason when she saw the content of the projection.

It was nothing unusual for these reports to be visible to anyone with Internet access.

Lin Shanchu probably did this to annoy her.

However, Zhai Ci did not look well.

Even though the banquet hall was dimly lit, Tang Qidai could still sense Zhai Ci’s displeasure.

“Zhai Ci, don’t be angry. This is all in the past. I have nothing to do with Lu

Shiyuan now.”

Tang Qidai felt a little guilty when she said the latter half of her words.

It was because Lu Shiyuan came to her a few days ago, trying to get some money from her.

She gave the money to him.

Lu Shiyuan had a hold over her. She was afraid that if she did not give him the money, he would come to her engagement party to cause trouble.

Fortunately, Lu Shiyuan had been well-behaved these few days and stopped coming for her after she gave him the money.

“Why didn’t you behave yourself in the past?” Di Ci gritted his teeth and said

coldly, “I’ve become the laughing stock in front of so many people today!”

“I was silly at that time and acquainted with the wrong people. No matter what happened in the past, you are my first man…”

Tang Qidai softened her voice and blew into his ear.

Zhai Ci’s breathing changed. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Why are you acting coquettishly? You only know how to seduce me.” Tang Qidai moved softly into his embrace and heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, all the lights in the hall lit up with a click.

“Let’s go to the lounge later,” Zhai Ci said softly as he rubbed her waist.

“Alright,” Tang Qidai replied shyly.

She Imew that Zhai Ci liked her like this the most.

The video on the projection ended.

Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci walked toward Patriarch Cheng.

Patriarch Cheng was still angry. The hotel staff stood at the side and apologized respectfully to him.

There were many guests present at the scene. Patriarch Cheng held back his temper and pointed at the projector.

“Turn it off immediately!”

The staff immediately left.

Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci walked up to him.

“Daddy.” Tang Qidai lowered her eyes with a look of guilt on her face.

Patriarch Cheng knew what had happened to Tang Qidai in the past, so it was meaningless to pursue the matter now.

Frowning, he waved at Tang Qidai and said impatiently, “That’s none of your business. Go back and rest.”

This was exactly what Zhai Ci and Tang Qidai wanted.

The two of them looked at each other and turned to leave.

The staff member who went to turn off the projection just now walked over and said, “Mr. Cheng, it’s been turned off.”

Patriarch Cheng’s expression eased a little as he said, “Alright.”

The subordinate next to him consciously went forward to help Patriarch Cheng up and walk towards the stage.

“There was a minor technical error just now. I hereby apologize to everyone here…”

As soon as he finished speaking, another click sound was heard.

All the lights in the venue went out again.

The projection that had been turned off earlier was turned on again. Then, the screen was lowered and another video started playing again.

“Do you have to threaten me like this?”

Lin Shanchu heard Tang Qidai’s voice from the video.

This time, the played video was the one that Lin Shanchu had sent to Huo

Xunzhou.

Number 1357 played the previous video just now, but this time, it was Huo Xunzhou.

Some people who liked entertainment gossip already recognized the other person in the video as Kong Suyi.

In addition, Kong Suyi was reported to have committed suicide due to depression earlier, and the video was obviously taken from the surveillance footage. It was enough for everyone to deduce what would happen next.

When the previous video was played, everyone was rather reserved.

However, this video was about a human life. Since the lights had been turned off, everyone gathered their courage and started discussing it loudly.

Tang Qidai had already reached the exit at the back. When she heard the voice, she turned her head with a drastic change of expression.

She looked at the content on the projection screen in disbelief.

“What on earth is going on?” Patriarch Cheng’s face was livid.

Tang Qidai was so flustered that she did not bother to listen to Patriarch Cheng’s question at all. Instead, she lost control and knelt on the ground to beg him.

“Dad, you have to help me! Tell them to turn it off! Otherwise, I will be done for!”

The microphone in front of Patriarch Cheng was turned on, so Tang Qidai’s voice was amplified.

The staff was in a mess.

“I’m sorry, Patriarch Cheng. The remote control doesn’t work! The electric gate can’t be opened either!”

Patriarch Cheng was furious, but he tried his best to control himself and not lose his composure in public.

Suddenly, screams were heard offstage.

Patriarch Cheng turned around and looked at the projection screen.

In the video, Tang Qidai was frenzily smashing Kong Suyi’s head with a crystal ball ornament in her hand..
