EBE Chapter 243 Celebration Banquet
Chapter 243 Celebration Banquet
At this time, Fang Xuyao slowly approached, his face solemn. "In this incident, the other party was not only able to disrupt traffic from the outside, but also secretly sent people into the heavily guarded venue. The identity of the person behind this must be extraordinary."
After that, everyone fell silent.
They all knew that anyone who could achieve such a thing was definitely not an ordinary person, and might even be a high-ranking official.
Nan Qiao thought for a moment, looked up at Zhao Gang, and said, "Uncle Zhao Gang, today's environmental protection conference was such a success, why don't we hold a celebration banquet?"
Zhao Gang understood and immediately nodded in response: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to prepare it right away."
The success of the environmental protection conference was like a bombshell, causing a huge storm on the international stage.
Zhao Gang arranged the celebration banquet at the Red Peony Hotel, a hotel with a long history and luxurious decoration, which has hosted countless domestic and foreign dignitaries and celebrities.
Its security system is like an iron bucket, with layers of protection and impenetrable. It is undoubtedly the most ideal place to hold this celebration banquet.
As night fell and the lights came on, the streets outside the hotel were blocked and traffic police were directing traffic in an orderly manner to ensure that vehicles coming to the banquet could pass smoothly.
At the hotel entrance, a red carpet was laid out, and hostesses on both sides greeted every distinguished guest with graceful figures and smiles on their faces.
Celebrities from all walks of life came in droves, including top scientific research experts in the country, who contributed their wisdom and efforts to the research and development of environmental governance.
There are senior government officials who are behind the policy support and diplomatic mediation for environmental protection.
There are also envoys from friendly countries who bring congratulations and expectations of cooperation to the flower-growing country.
Nan Qiao was wearing a simple yet elegant black evening gown. The hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming black lotus.
Her long hair was tied up, revealing her fair and slender neck, and the pearl earrings on her ears emitted a warm luster under the light.
She mingled among the guests, with a charming smile and beautiful eyes, and her every word and action was graceful and appropriate.
In the banquet hall, the crystal chandeliers are dazzling, shining brightly on the smooth marble floor.
The dining table was filled with delicious food, the aroma of wine was everywhere, and the musicians played melodious classical music, adding a touch of elegance to the entire banquet.
The guests were either chatting quietly or drinking, and laughter echoed throughout the hall.
After exchanging greetings with several foreign envoys, Nan Qiao quietly retreated to a corner.
She closed her eyes slightly and mobilized her spiritual consciousness, which slowly spread out in all directions like an invisible net.
Wherever her spiritual sense reaches, she can clearly sense everyone's emotional fluctuations and subtle physical reactions.
In her perception, most of the guests were immersed in the joyful atmosphere, their emotions were excitement, joy, or curiosity.
However, when her spiritual sense swept over a well-dressed middle-aged man, she keenly sensed something strange.
On the surface, the man was chatting and laughing with the people around him, but his emotional fluctuations were extremely weak, as if he was deliberately suppressing something.
Nan Qiao's heart moved, he picked up a glass of champagne, took a sip, and walked over calmly.
When she approached the small circle where the suspicious man was, she joined their conversation seemingly casually.
The people around were talking about the unprecedented success of the environmental protection conference, and their words were full of praise for the flower-growing country and their anticipation for future environmental protection cooperation.
Nan Qiao had a faint smile on her lips and gently shook the champagne glass in her hand. The golden wine inside sparkled with a charming luster under the light.
After chatting for a while, Nan Qiao casually raised her voice and said, "Everyone, this spiritual bird is just the beginning of our Flower Country's environmental protection plan. We have a backup plan."
"Based on the Water Nation's previous attempts at troublemaking and mischief, how could they possibly defeat us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests around nodded, their faces filled with pride and excitement.
Some experts pushed their glasses excitedly, their eyes full of anticipation for follow-up plans, while some officials laughed heartily and clinked glasses happily with others, imagining how the flower-growing country would take the lead in the field of international environmental protection.
Nan Qiao's spiritual sense was firmly locked on the suspicious man.
His originally peaceful face instantly showed a crack, and a murderous aura seemed to spread from his body like a haze.
Anger flashed across his eyes, and although he tried his best to conceal it, his tense jaw muscles and slightly clenched fists revealed the turmoil in his heart.
Nan Qiao felt more confident in his heart, but his expression remained calm as he continued to chat and laugh with everyone.
After a moment, Nan Qiao quietly left the crowd and found Lin Yue. After chatting casually for a few minutes, she turned the topic to the suspicious person: "Sister Lin Yue, look at that man over there. He doesn't look right. Do you know who he is?"
Lin Yue followed Nan Qiao's gaze and after studying him for a moment, he said, "His name is Luo Jie. He holds an important position in the diplomatic department of our Flower Country. He has been busy working for Flower Country's diplomatic affairs. He is highly regarded and well-known in diplomatic circles."
"He frequently participates in various international affairs exchange activities, behaves reasonably well, and interacts with quite a few people. However, I still need to investigate some of his specific circumstances."
Nan Qiao nodded gently, "Okay, don't alert the snake, slowly whip the little tail behind him."
"I know."
Nan Qiao once again carefully checked the entire banquet hall with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that there were no other suspicious people, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The main purpose of setting a trap to catch the spy at today's celebration party has been achieved. Staying here is just for socializing and greetings, and she really has no interest in it.
So she found an excuse, secretly returned to the lounge, changed into light clothes, and quickly slipped away through the side door of the hotel.
Nan Qiao took a taxi directly back to the school dormitory. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhang Xin, Chen Jing, and Xu Qing gathered in front of Chen Jing's computer, chattering about something. The light from the screen reflected on their excited faces.
Hearing the door open, the three of them looked over at the same time. After a brief silence, they burst into excited screams.
Zhang Xin rushed over, grabbed Nan Qiao's arm, and jumped up and down: "Qiao Qiao, you are so awesome!"
"Today at the environmental conference, you were the brightest star in the room! When the Spirit Bird appeared, wow, that scene was so exciting! I tell you, we were so excited watching the live broadcast in the dormitory!"
Chen Jing also stood up, her eyes sparkling. "Yeah, the internet is all about you now, with all kinds of praise. Some people even say you're the key figure in changing the world's environmental landscape!"
"The magical power of the Spirit Bird has left everyone stunned. Could you please tell us how it has such amazing abilities?"
