Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 136 The Tripartite Gate



"Won't this casual attire have a bad influence on Uncle Tang?..." It seems that Tan Ailing and Eric share the same concerns.

"No way!" Tang Feiyan said with great confidence. "Mayor Delbosky himself doesn't like formal wear, he even has the anecdote of wearing jeans to attend the meeting of the eight cities in Eastern Europe! At a banquet with him as the main character, we'll dress like this and he'll feel very at ease..."

Seeing Tang Feiyan's confident demeanor, Eric and Tan Ailing didn't say much more and started chatting casually instead.

Roger Karins, a citizen of Country A, 36 years old, is a doctor by profession and is currently in Shanghai representing a medical institution from Country A to negotiate with a local hospital.

Tonight, he also went to the Jin Mao Tower.

However, he was neither there for dinner nor to stay overnight, but to commit a murder.

The location of the murder was in the washroom, and the victim was an ordinary and unremarkable service staff.

After the murder, he hung a sign that read "Equipment Maintenance" on the washroom door, then locked the door from the inside, and finally reported to someone through a satellite phone.

"Boss..."

"Roger, is the job done?"

"I haven't acted yet?"

"...Then why are you calling?"

"Boss, I just want to ask, who is my target exactly?"

"...Who gave you the message? I'll send him to the North Pole..."

"Boss, can we focus on the matter at hand?"

"Hmm... Listen, your target this time is the mayor of St. Petersburg, Delbosky. We can't let someone so close to China become the President of Russia. By killing him in China, not only can we eliminate our hidden danger, but we can also sour China-Russia relations..."

"I understand, boss. I'll go prepare then..."

"Good, Roger! Remember, don't expose your identity..."

"Don't worry, this isn't my first time doing this kind of thing. Just wait for the good news!"

After Eric's group arrived at the Jin Mao Tower, he had Earl Skidmore return to "The Dark Alley of Extreme Yin" first. Since there was nothing for him to do by Eric's side, it was better for him to focus on improving his abilities.

Then Tang Feiyan called her father, asking him to send someone to the entrance of the Yue Zhen Xuan to receive them, as they were essentially "uninvited guests" without invitations.

Tang's father's response was quite quick. By the time they just got off the elevator, a refined man in his thirties was already waiting there.

"Feiyan, hurry up, the banquet is about to start..." His tone suggested he was quite familiar with Tang Feiyan.

"Shi Qingxuan, why have you come out in person?" Tang Feiyan said with a smile, "I rushed over as soon as I got the call, without a moment's delay! If anything's late, it's just that my father called me too late..."

"By the way, Shi Qingxuan..." Seeing that Shi Qingxuan seemed to have mistaken Eric and Tan Ailing for random passersby, Tang Feiyan couldn't help but introduce them, "These two are my good friends, Eric and Tan Ailing!"

Shi Qingxuan paused for a moment, then apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, you two, I thought you were just people who happened to be on the elevator with Feiyan... I'm Shi Qingxuan, the secretary of Deputy Mayor Tang."

Tang Feiyan added, "Shi Qingxuan has been with my father for eleven years, you could say he's watched me grow up, and he's very close to our family..."

Shi Qingxuan looked at Tang Feiyan with doting affection and said, "Alright, Feiyan, the way you put it makes me sound so old! You should know that your Shi Qingxuan still hasn't even gotten married yet!"

Tang Feiyan stuck her tongue out at Shi Qingxuan, then pointed at Tan Ailing and asked, "Shi Qingxuan, take a good look, don't you recognize her?" Stay updated with empire

Shi Qingxuan was a bit curious, first apologizing to Tan Ailing, then carefully examining her. After a close look, he immediately realized, "Could it be Miss Ailing from the Tan family?"

Tan Ailing gave a slight smile and nodded lightly at him.

Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan were very close, and when they were studying in Cangzhou in the past, they would often go to the Tang family to play. So naturally, Shi Qingxuan had met her before. It's just that because of Tan Ailing's cool personality, the two didn't have much interaction.

Now, with Tang Feiyan's prompt, Shi Qingxuan immediately remembered that cold and beautiful young lady who was even indifferent towards the Deputy Mayor.

Looking at the sweet-faced Tan Ailing who was holding Eric's arm, Shi Qingxuan found it hard to connect her with the aloof girl in his memory.

"I wonder who this gentleman is..." Shi Qingxuan wanted to get to know this man who could "turn ice to fire".

"This is my fiancé, Eric!"

Seeing that Tan Ailing only mentioned a name and the introduced gentleman also remained silent, Shi Qingxuan tactfully didn't say much more and instead asked about Tang Feiyan's recent situation.

Just as the group was walking and talking towards the entrance of Yuezhen Pavilion, seven or eight burly men in uniform came up. The four bodyguards immediately reacted, getting in front of Eric and the others to protect them.

However, their pre-heaven spiritual senses did not detect any hostility, so they didn't make a move right away, just taking precautions.

"Please don't misunderstand!" Seeming to have seen this kind of situation many times, one of the burly men who appeared to be the leader said naturally with his hands open, "We are from the National Security Bureau... Eh, Secretary Shi?"

Shi Qingxuan, who had been talking to Tang Feiyan, hadn't noticed the situation before, but hearing someone call his name, he looked up.

After a glance, he slapped his forehead and said, "Blame me, blame me... Mr. Eric."

For some reason, Eric didn't seem to like this Shi Qingxuan very much and just raised an eyebrow without answering.

Shi Qingxuan didn't mind, and directly said, "These are your people, aren't they?" After getting the answer, he continued, "The security work for this welcome banquet is handled by the National Security Bureau, and no bodyguards of the guests are allowed to enter the banquet hall. You see..."

"No, the master's safety can only be entrusted to us!" Before Eric could speak, the four bodyguards firmly stated their stance.

The title "master" made Shi Qingxuan pause slightly because normally bodyguards would call their employer "boss" or "sir". This unusual way of addressing made Shi Qingxuan even more curious about Eric's identity.

But now he could only suppress this curiosity, looking at Eric apologetically and saying, "Mr. Eric..."
