The home venue of Gu Zhuxuan's birthday celebration was at night, and during the day it was just a few friends celebrating his birthday in private, just to make it lively.

In the evening, it is estimated that Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin, the leaders of the Youth Gang, will be there. The gang will usually take this opportunity to hold a big gathering to handle some gang affairs.

As for dignitaries in the political circles, many business leaders would also have many people to celebrate their birthdays. Gu Zhuxuan is usually very cosmopolitan and good at communication.

An hour later, the tea party broke up and the game was over.A few gamblers who hadn't finished their gambling discussed finding a place to gamble again.

Gu Zhuxuan repeatedly told Zhang Ziyang, Lu Ming, and Mingzhu to join in the show at night, and the birthday gift was skipped, because all he needed was popularity and appearance, and nothing else.

"Old Gu, do you think we can go to your birthday banquet with empty mouths?" Mingzhu said indifferently.

"How can this be called empty talk and white teeth? It's a birthday gift that money can't buy if you are able to join me, I will appreciate it first." Gu Zhuxuan is very good at talking, but Mingzhu is not good at talking.

Gu Zhuxuan took the people away, Lu Ming asked Zhang Ziyang to take Cailian and the girls back in a car, and he sent Mingzhu alone.

Zhang Ziyang raised the car key in his hand and asked Lu Ming, "Are you going to celebrate your birthday at night?"

Lu Ming smiled wryly: "Can you not go? Since we met by such a coincidence, and he promised to help us, let's join in the fun."

"That's right, Lao Gu is actually a very loyal person, and he also has principles in doing things. It is worth paying attention to."

After Zhang Ziyang finished speaking, he drove Cailian and the others away.

"Are you going to Sheng's house or back to your own apartment?" Lu Ming asked Mingzhu softly.

"I'd better go to the Sheng's house. I haven't finished the task I've given myself. I want to find out the cause of the deaths of those maids. It's my first time as a detective, so I can't hand in a blank paper." Mingzhu said with a smile.

"You are actually a very careful person. You have the potential to be a detective. If you grasp the details and follow them to the end, you will definitely gain something." Lu Ming did not forget to include guidance in his praise.

"On the surface, the Sheng family's inner house is polite and harmonious, but in fact, it's full of smog and chaos. I don't feel much happiness there, but I have a task, so I have to pretend to be happy." Mingzhu Lost the liveliness just now.

Lu Ming called for a taxi and helped Mingzhu into the carriage.

Before the car left, Mingzhu suddenly asked: "Are you really going to celebrate Lao Gu's birthday tonight?"

"Of course I have to go, won't I offend someone if I don't go? I still need to ask him for help." Lu Ming smiled wryly.

If it hadn't been a coincidence, he wouldn't have joined in the fun even if he knew that the boss of the Youth Gang was celebrating his birthday, but since he met him, he would formally invite him face to face, and if he didn't go, he would be completely offended.

"Oh, then you should pay attention to drinking less, and I won't go. My eldest brother has a normal relationship with them."

Lu Ming nodded. The relationship between the Cao Gang and the Qing Gang has always been delicate. On the surface, they are harmonious, but what's going on behind the scenes is just tacit understanding.

Mingzhu is not like him, even if she goes, it represents her personal identity. If she goes, it will represent the boss of the Cao Gang, and also represent the entire Cao Gang.

Lu Ming raised his foot and was about to get into the carriage, but Mingzhu stopped him.

"Go and do your work, when did I use you to send me off?"

"Could it be that I can't see you off?" Lu Ming laughed.

Lu Ming has an independent personality, the bright pearl is close to the vermilion, the red is close to the ink, and the black is black. He has learned from him since he was a child, and he is even stronger than him. He never gives him away, except when it is dark, she will accept it for safety.

"I can send you to the detective agency first, and then I will go to the Sheng family." Mingzhu said with a smile.

"Forget it then, I want to walk by myself, I don't want to take a car." Lu Ming said.

"You don't want to go to Du Juan, do you?" Mingzhu began to get airy again.

"Why are you looking for her? It's too late for me to hide from her, and I dare to deliver the goods myself?" Lu Ming asked.

"Why do you put it so harshly? Du Juan has feelings for you, and he won't eat you, so why not meet you?" Mingzhu narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Okay, don't set me up, and don't dig a hole to wait for me, I won't be fooled." Lu Ming laughed.

"I'm sincere. You should go and see Du Juan when you're free. It's not easy for a little girl."

"What little girl, it seems like you are so old. You don't need to test me, I have my own ideas." Lu Ming said.

"I'm not testing you, but I have confidence in you. You should also have confidence in yourself. As long as you are clear-headed and determined, why are you afraid of this?" Mingzhu laughed.

"Are you really not afraid?" Lu Ming followed her example, narrowing his eyes and smiling.

"Of course I'm not afraid. If someone can take you away from me, then I admire her and will always avoid her all my life. It's a pity that there is no such person in this world yet." Mingzhu laughed.

After she finished speaking, she asked the stunned coachman to drive.

Lu Ming stood there by himself in a daze, unable to recall for a long time.

"Hmph, don't come here, and don't look at what this young master eats."

As he was thinking, he walked with his head down, and when he turned a street corner, he almost bumped into a person.

"Why is it you? What a coincidence." Lu Ming looked up and was dumbfounded.

Du Juan in front of him was looking at him with a pair of big eyes of resentment.

"Why can't it be me? Am I blocking your way?" Du Juan said bluntly.

"No, no, please." Lu Ming quickly moved out of the way.

"Is that why I don't welcome you? How can there be such a cold-blooded man in the world!" Du Juan said angrily.

"No, no, I thought you were in a hurry to go home, why am I so cold-blooded?" Lu Ming shook his head like a rattle.

"Let's not talk about that first, if I say that I'm waiting for you here on purpose, would you believe me?" Du Juan said.

"This...how is it possible, I almost drove away just now." Lu Ming said in surprise.

"I bet you won't leave." Du Juan said angrily.

Lu Ming felt a chill down his back. Du Juan is a good girl in everything, but she is stubborn and likes to take advantage of the bull's horns. The thing she is sure of is that nine cows can't be pulled back. To be honest, Lu Ming is really afraid of her.

The two stood there looking at each other like fighting cocks, and then suddenly both laughed.

"Let me treat you to tea, let's stop erecting the flagpole here." Lu Ming laughed.

"No, I want to have a big meal. I haven't eaten all day." Du Juan bit her lip and said.

"Why don't you eat for a day? Cultivating immortals?"

"It's not that I don't want to eat, it's that I can't eat and I'm upset, but now I feel hungry." Du Juan said.

"Okay, let me treat you to some crabs. The crabs are the best now." Lu Ming said.

"Crabs? No, I want to eat western food." Du Juan thought for a while, and suddenly made up his mind.

"Western food? Are you used to it?" Lu Ming said angrily and funny.

The stomach and eating habits of the Chinese are very repulsive to Western food. It’s not that people who have lived abroad for a long time are really not used to it. Some people even feel nauseous when eating Western food.

"I haven't eaten it before. Is it that western food is very expensive, and you are not willing to spend money?"

"How can there be such a thing, you can go if you want to eat." Lu Ming said freely.

Thinking about it, although I don't owe Du Juan anything, I have never made any promises, and I haven't even had a close relationship with her, but I always feel sorry for her in my heart.People have feelings, so I'm sorry for her love.

It would be nice to have a chance to treat her to a big meal, at least to make up for my guilt.Lu Ming thought so.

The two called a taxi again and came to a western restaurant in the French Concession that specializes in steak.

Lu Ming ordered Du Juan a well-done steak and a plate of salad. He heard that the oysters were fresh, so he ordered another oyster to eat raw, and then he ordered French fries for himself.

The wine I want is Napoleon, which is ten years old, and the price is already high.

It is said that Western food is expensive, but it is actually relatively speaking. Compared with seafood feasts, eating Western food is trivial, but there is one thing that is indeed expensive in Western restaurants, and that is drinks.

Du Juan cut the steak bitterly, and then put it into his mouth piece by piece, still looking at Lu Ming from the corner of his eyes.

Lu Ming was horrified by her, as if he was the sliced ​​steak, being swallowed mouthful by her red lips.

But looking at Du Juan's posture with the knife and fork, you can tell that her claim that she has never eaten Western food before is a lie. People who enter a Western restaurant for the first time do not know how to use a knife and fork skillfully.

"Master Lu, why don't you eat it, or I'll share half of it with you, this steak is a bit big." Du Juan frowned.

This piece of steak weighed one catty, so it was a bit big. This was because Lu Ming heard that she didn't eat at noon, so he deliberately asked for such a big steak.

"No, I really can't eat anymore."

I ate too much crab at noon. Although it is difficult to eat seafood, I feel overwhelmed if I have too much.

Lu Ming drank the wine, only ate a few mouthfuls of salad, and then ate oysters and French fries.

Oysters are not popular in China, but they are a delicacy that everyone covets in Europe. As long as there are fresh oysters on the market, no one can refuse.

Du Juan sipped red wine, ate steak, and ate some salad from time to time, but didn't even look at the oysters.

"Try one, it's delicious." Lu Ming pointed at the oysters.

"Don't eat it, it's raw." Du Juan shook his head.

"This thing has to be eaten raw, it won't be fresh when it's cooked."

Du Juan still shook her head, she ate for a while and suddenly burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I don't know why I am so self-willed."

Lu Ming was a little panicked: "Du Juan, why are you crying so hard. You are such a beautiful girl, it is a privilege to be self-willed, I raise my hand for it."

Du Juan laughed through tears: "Young Master Lu is sweet-talking and can talk. No wonder Miss Mingzhu is so devoted to you. You coaxed it out, right?"

"She never needs me to coax her, she has a strong mind." Lu Ming laughed.

"That's why you love her so much? I'm not as good as Miss Mingzhu. I'm too fragile. I have to learn from her." Du Juan thoughtfully.

"Du Juan, don't think about it too much. Everyone has a different personality, so it's just as long as you think it suits you. Mingzhu and I grew up together, so we will naturally develop feelings when we get in touch with many people." Lu Ming said.

"That's true, long-term love, I understand that." Du Juan sadly.

"Oh, by the way, don't call me Master Lu from now on, it sounds weird." Lu Ming still wanted to make a rescue.

"Then what should I call you? Young Master is not appropriate." Du Juan smiled.

"Well, it's popular to call you Mr. or Brother." Lu Ming said generously.

At this moment, suddenly a person came in, handed a letter to Lu Ming and said with a smile: "This is a letter from Master Gu to Master Lu."

Lu Ming was startled, he really didn't expect Gu Zhuxuan's eyes and ears to be so wide, he knew that he was in the French Concession, and he was able to locate it so quickly.

He took out a piece of ocean and handed it to the man: "Thank you, big brother, let's use this money for tea."

The man didn't accept anything, saying that he couldn't charge money for doing business for Mr. Gu, otherwise he would be scolded.

After the man left, Lu Ming opened the letter, and it turned out to be Gu Zhuxuan's. The letter invited him to attend the birthday banquet again. Gu Zhuxuan mentioned in the letter that Sheng Muyi's two bodyguards might also be there at night.These words attracted Lu Ming.

Gu Zhuxuan is very particular about how he handles affairs, this is where he knows how to be a human being, he is always considerate of others, Lu Ming must attend the birthday feast.

"Whose letter?" Du Juan asked curiously.

"Mr. Gu's."

"We were still together just now, what letter did he send you?" Du Juan felt strange.

"Invite me to the birthday celebration at night, let's have fun." Lu Ming laughed.

"Then can you take me there?" Du Juan suddenly asked with a longing expression.
