With a loud bang, the ground shook violently, and several windows shattered.

A chorus of terrified screams erupted from the crowd. The timid had already shrunk under the table, while the bolder ones lay prone on it. Some people, however, remained seated, not calmly, but frozen in fear, completely forgetting how to react.

However, apart from that, the scene wasn't particularly chaotic. No one panicked or ran around, and no one cried out in despair. On the contrary, after the explosions subsided, the people, now calm, erupted in cheers.

Aunt Bai sensed something was wrong. She opened her eyes and saw fireworks dancing and fluttering in the sky. Under the winter sun, they emitted a dazzling array of colors, sparkling brilliantly and beautifully.

What's going on? Aunt Bai was stunned for a moment, then looked up through the rain-like fireworks to see what was happening. The cake was still sitting perfectly fine on the food cart, and Ding Hanhan, Ding Lisheng, and the advisor were all standing there unharmed.

Aunt Bai looked up at the sky in confusion. The huge helium balloon that had originally read "Happy Birthday" had disappeared.

Could it be that I just popped a helium balloon instead of a birthday cake? How could that be?

Aunt Bai quickly grabbed the remote control and pressed the blue button several times, but there was no response. Upon closer inspection, she realized with alarm that the red light was no longer on. This meant the bomb had indeed been detonated.

The bomb was indeed detonated. It was something bought for a few hundred thousand dollars; no one was injured, it merely exploded, releasing a bunch of fireworks from the helium balloon, providing a bit of entertainment and adding a spectacle to Ding Lisheng's birthday banquet.

What's going on? Aunt Bai didn't understand, but this was definitely not a good thing for her.

Realizing the situation was bad, Aunt Bai immediately considered retreating. "Where there's life, there's hope," she thought, and of the thirty-six stratagems, running away was the best. She quietly stood up, keeping an eye on Ding Lisheng's movements as she backed away. She hadn't gone far when she unexpectedly bumped into someone behind her.

Turning around, she was terrified. Standing behind her with a smile was none other than her nemesis, Gu Fengyao.

"Sir, are you looking for the restroom? I'll take you there," Gu Feng said gently.

"No……"

"Come on, don't be shy. This place is too big, it's easy to get lost. Let me lead you there." Gu Feng grabbed her hand without saying a word and pulled her to the side.

Aunt Bai really wanted to scream "Indecent assault!" But she was dressed as a man, so screaming would be pointless. She could only struggle and resist silently, trying to get rid of Gu Feng. Unexpectedly, he suddenly leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Aunt Bai, if you don't want to die, you'd better behave."

Aunt Bai truly didn't want to die. But that didn't mean she was afraid of death. Although one of her hands was being held by Gu Feng, the other was still free. She wanted to reach into her clothes to pull out her gun, because she knew very well that this might be her last chance.

However, Gu Feng ultimately didn't give her that chance. Seeing her other hand move, he immediately swiftly reached out with one hand and firmly restrained it. He pressed his entire body against hers. To onlookers, the two looked like close buddies walking forward, their arms around each other's shoulders.

Aunt Bai was reluctantly but helplessly pushed forward by him, her mind racing with thoughts of "It's over, this time it's really all over." But what exactly happened? She had clearly told Da Chiji to hide the bomb inside the cake, so how did it end up on the helium balloon?

When she reached a sparsely populated place, she couldn't resist any longer and stopped in her tracks like an ox stubbornly ploughing a field.

"Let's go, why?" Gu Feng asked, puzzled.

"Gu, I accept that I've fallen into your trap. But you have to let me die knowing why. What exactly happened?" Aunt Bai glared at Gu Feng resentfully.

A man dressed as a watermelon peel stared at him with such resentful eyes, and Gu Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He stammered, "Um, can we leave here first? If Ding Hanhan finds out about you, not only will you be doomed, but I'll be in trouble too."

Aunt Bai blurted out instinctively, "She doesn't know me yet..."

"If she finds out, do you think you'll still be alive to leave this place? Stop arguing, let's talk outside, okay?" Gu Feng said, forcefully pulling her outside.

There were too many people at the front entrance, and his tussling with another man would definitely attract attention. So he decided to find his car first and then go through the back entrance.

As Gu Feng dragged Aunt Bai forward, he didn't dare look her in the eye. Each glance only made him more nauseous. Damn it, why did she have to pretend to be a man, and a bearded one at that? Wasn't she just trying to disgust people?

He found his gold Bugatti Veyron, helped Aunt Bai into the car, and drove it towards the back door.

Although there weren't as many people at the back gate as at the front, there were still quite a few. The deputy head of the hall, Pig Oil Boy, was leading a large group of men guarding the area. Seeing Gu Feng drive out in his car with a man sitting next to him, he was quite puzzled. Why wasn't the son-in-law greeting guests in the main hall at this time? Where was he going?

As they were getting into their seats, Piggy came up to them and asked, "Young Master Feng, where are you headed?"

"Uh," Gu Feng said, putting on airs, "Well, I have something important to take care of right away. You keep a close watch on the door. There are quite a few people coming today, so we can't let any of those with ulterior motives sneak in."

These words made Aunt Bai's face flush. However, thanks to the thick layer of makeup, it wasn't noticeable.

"Yes, Young Master Feng. I will be extra careful." Piggy replied solemnly.

"Hmm." Gu Feng nodded seriously, stepped on the gas, and sped off with a "whoosh".

However, the gold-plated Bugatti Veyron began to swerve before it went very far. Then, a loud screeching sound was heard as it braked suddenly.

It turned out that Aunt Bai reached out and grabbed Gu Feng's steering wheel, forcing Gu Feng to stop the car.

"What exactly do you want?" Gu Feng asked helplessly, a question that should have been asked by Aunt Bai.

"I just want to die knowing why," Aunt Bai said stubbornly.

"When did I ever say I wanted you dead?" Gu Feng said, slightly annoyed.

Indeed, if this nemesis truly wanted her dead, she would have died countless times already. Realizing this, Aunt Bai's face showed a hint of embarrassment, mixed with a touch of anger and resentment: "Anyway, I won't be satisfied until I figure this out."

Her words had a hint of coquetry in them. Gu Feng's heart softened. But seeing her tomboyish attire, he felt a chill run down his spine. Without replying, he took out his phone and dialed a number. After the call connected, he said, "Say a few words to Aunt Bai," and then handed the phone to her.

Aunt Bai took the phone with a puzzled look, and after only saying "feed" once, she heard a familiar voice coming from the other end of the line.

"Aunt Bai, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry."

"Da Chiji!" Aunt Bai exclaimed in surprise, then in anger, "Did you betray me?"

"Aunt Bai, I didn't want to either, I really didn't want to."

"You bastard, didn't I give you a million to build a mansion and get married? Why did you betray me?"

"But Young Master Feng gave me two million and even introduced me to Cuihua, the nanny from the Ding family. He also found me a cheap second-hand apartment in Shenzhen."

Aunt Bai fell silent.

After a long, long time, he finally blurted out a curse: "You son of a bitch."
