After dinner, Qiao Muyi rubbed his hands and took Xiao Muyou around for a while before sending Xiao Muyou back to Jinxi Garden.

When he arrived at the door, Qiao Muyi stopped Xiao Muyou who was about to get off the car.

"Mu You, we are friends now, right?"

"We're not very early, are we?"

Xiao Muyou gave an affirmative answer. Upon hearing this, Qiao Muyi hugged Xiao Muyou excitedly and said.

"Mu You, thank you, can I often have dinner with you in the future? Don't worry, it's just for meals. You've been back for less than a year, and you don't have many friends here. It's hard to find someone to eat with you.

,so……"

"It depends on the situation. You know I'm very busy. Also, if we don't let go, we won't be friends anymore."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Muyi immediately let go of Xiao Muyou. After that, Xiao Muyou pushed the door open and got out of the car. Qiao Muyi stuck his head out and said to Xiao Muyou.

"Mu You, if you're in a bad mood and want to find someone to chat with, I'm always available. Good night."

Xiao Muyou turned around and looked at Qiao Muyi, nodded and said something.

"Good night."

Qiao Muyi left Xiao Muyou's villa excitedly, humming a tune. Tonight was definitely a qualitative breakthrough for him.

When Xiao Muyou returned to the villa, there was no smile on her face anymore. Thinking of Lei Yan's words in the restaurant, her eyes dimmed again.

After Lei Yan left the restaurant, he was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he went to a nearby boxing gym and stayed there for almost two hours, beating all the sparring partners and wailing in agony before giving up.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Lei Yan returned to the apartment. He took a hurried shower and then lay on the bed. The scene of Xiao Muyou and Qiao Muyi chatting and laughing at night repeatedly appeared in his mind.

At this time, in a hotel in Kyoto, a man received a phone call.

"Hey, it's me."

I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, but the man’s tone was a little impatient.

"What? You doubt my strength. If you don't believe it, then this business will be cancelled."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed very anxious after hearing this and kept talking.

"No, it's just that you have been gone for so many days, why has there been no news yet?"

"Who do you think the other party is? If it can be solved casually, how can you invite me? Give me some more time, and I will basically have a grasp of his whereabouts."

After receiving such a promise from the man, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be very satisfied, and then hung up the phone.

After the man hung up the phone, he took out two boxes from the closet and opened them. They were full of parts and it was impossible to see what they could be assembled into.

Then, the man was seen skillfully assembling these parts. About ten minutes later, a gun as big as his hand appeared in his palm. No one thought that these parts could be assembled into a gun. The key is

Most of these parts are made of plastic, and because they are disassembled and placed in two boxes, most people will not notice them at all.

The next day, at seven o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony of the Yaohua Cultural and Creative Essay Competition was held, with guests gathered and stars gathered.

As the boss behind this award ceremony, Xiao Muyou has become the focus of the audience. From the guests present today, we can see the influence of Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries. Coupled with the intervention of the Ministry of Sports, big names in the Kyoto cultural circle

Everyone was also present.

"Mr. Xiao, I really want to thank Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries for providing such a good platform this time. I heard that the film and television rights of several works have been sold this time. It seems that next year will be the year of sports."

Minister Qian also came here early today. He has been very proud of himself recently. It is said that the superiors intend to let him take over the position of head of the sports department who is about to retire.

"Minister Qian, you are serious. Without the strong support of the Ministry of Sports and Minister Qian, our event would not have such large-scale promotion, and we are all doing our part for the country's sports industry."

Xiao Muyou said politely, without any hint of cowardice because of the other party's identity and age. At least on an occasion like today, she and Minister Qian were on the same level.

"By the way, will Mr. Lei come today? For this event, we have to thank the Feng Group for its strong support. Without the Feng Group, this award ceremony would not be such a grand event."

Hearing Minister Qian mention Lei Yan, Xiao Muyou also looked around and saw that the award ceremony was about to begin, and no one from the Feng Group was there.

"Mr. Lei has promised to come back a few days ago. He is probably on his way here now. The traffic in Kyoto is so congested."

"Yeah yeah!"

Xiao Muyou chatted with Minister Qian for a while, and then went to greet other guests. Until 7:30, Xiao Muyou only saw Lei Yan's assistant.

"Assistant Ding, didn't Mr. Lei come with you?"

When Ding Hao appeared at the award ceremony, Xiao Muyou went over to say hello. During this period, Assistant Ding was responsible for most of the communication between the two companies, so Xiao Muyou was not a stranger to him.

"Mr. Lei should be on his way here. I contacted him before I came here."

At this time, Lei Yan was still in his apartment. The award ceremony started at eight o'clock. Before that, there was a red carpet for the winners and some invited guests. Lei Yan didn't like this, so he planned to go directly to the venue later.

At about 7:50, Lei Yan left the apartment and went directly to the underground parking lot.

At half past eight, Lei Yan arrived at the award ceremony and saw Xiao Muyou standing outside the venue all the way.

"I thought Mr. Lei was going to give up. The awards ceremony has already started."

Xiao Muyou looked at Lei Yan who was walking over, and his attitude was not very good. Originally, it was scheduled for Lei Yan to speak on stage today, but in the end, because he didn't show up, he had to ask Assistant Ding to take the stage instead.

Lei Yan frowned and said when he heard Xiao Muyou's somewhat unhappy expression.

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road. Didn't I go on stage to award the award at around nine-thirty?"

Lei Yan definitely came here at the right time. After hearing this, Xiao Muyou smiled coldly and asked.

"Didn't Mr. Lei receive our procedure letter? It says that a representative of the Feng Group needs to come on stage to speak."

"Oh, I handed this matter over to Ding Hao. Your procedures didn't specify that I must be on stage."

Lei Yan was definitely quibbling, but Xiao Muyou couldn't argue. They really didn't communicate well on this matter.

Lei Yan saw that Xiao Muyou was sulking and didn't want to continue to anger him, so he said.

"Mr. Xiao, I'll go in first."

After saying that, Lei Yan walked into the venue.

The award ceremony was very boring, especially since it was an award ceremony for literary works. Although Lei Yan usually read some books, he had no interest in these plot novels. Sitting there was so boring that he almost fell asleep.

Fortunately, it was Lei Yan's turn to go on stage to present the award soon, but what he didn't expect was that the person presenting the award with him was actually Xiao Muyou.

After the experience last time, Lei Yan felt more comfortable on stage this time. I don't know if there was someone accompanying him, but he also said a few more words, although it was said that someone had prepared them for them in advance.

After the awards were presented, Lei Yan and Xiao Muyou walked off the stage hand in hand. According to the normal procedure, after the awards were presented, the presenter could go back to the stage to continue watching the performance. However, when Lei Yan arrived backstage, he walked directly to the stage not far away.

He walked out the side door. When Xiao Muyou saw this, he immediately chased after him.

"Lei Yan, are you leaving?"

Lei Yan didn't expect Xiao Muyou to chase him out. Seeing Xiao Muyou wearing a thin evening dress and the cold wind blowing at the door, he could only take two steps back and nodded.

"What? Is there anything else?"

"Minister Qian is also here this time. Why don't you go over and say hello?"

Lei Yan thought for a while, then shook his head and said.

"I have something else to do, I'll do it later."

After saying that, Lei Yan walked towards the door. Xiao Muyou wanted to chase her out, but someone happened to be looking for her, so she could only watch Lei Yan leave.

It was almost ten o'clock at this time. The place where the award ceremony was held this time was at the Art Academy. At night, there were no people here and it seemed particularly quiet.

Lei Yan got into the car, thinking of Xiao Muyou's reluctant look just now, he sighed deeply, then started the car and left. Not long after he left, a black car followed him silently.

Lei Yan didn't pay much attention at first. He just thought it was a guest who had the same halfway stance as him, so the two cars drove towards the city one after the other.

About ten minutes after the car drove out, when passing through an intersection, the red light came on and Lei Yan stopped. At this time, the car behind also slowed down and came to a road next to Lei Yan.

Lei Yan didn't pay attention, tapping the steering wheel in boredom and listening to the music.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure, which almost fell to the side as if it was a conditioned reflex.

Just as the car window banged, a bullet broke the car glass, flew through the car, and penetrated directly into the back of the passenger seat.

Lei Yan suddenly became wary. He had lived in Kyoto for too long and was not as cautious as before. He actually didn't notice anything wrong along the way. The key was that this was China, and someone actually carried such a prohibited item.

Lei Yan didn't dare to raise his head at this time. He bent down and hid by the car door. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the bullet on the passenger seat. It was very small. It seemed that only the front part was made of metal.

"The Overlord's Pursuit of Marriage: Madam, where are you running?"
