After entering the hotel, Chen Ping sent a message to Lin Tianhu, asking him to drive Xiao Yan away. He didn't want to eat with people from the Xiao family and didn't want the Xiao family to know too much about his identity. He wanted to see how long Xiao Lei and Geng Shanshan could jump around.
In the hotel!
A crowd surrounded Gu Wentian, each with a look of respect on their faces. Some even knew that Gu Wentian liked to collect antiques, so they searched everywhere and brought him gifts.
Beside Gu Wentian stood a tall and stern-faced middle-aged man, always on guard. This was Tang Long, Gu Wentian's personal bodyguard. A veteran of the Zhanlong Squad, he had served as Gu Wentian's close protection during his time in office. Even after Gu Wentian retired, Tang Long followed suit, continuing to ensure Gu Wentian's safety.
Whenever Gu Wentian attends public events, he always brings Tang Long with him to ensure his safety!
"Everyone, I'm hosting this dinner today for one reason only: to introduce you all to a new friend. There are no gifts to be received, no business to discuss, just some casual introductions. Please, relax and enjoy yourselves!"
Gu Wen Tian waved his hand, silencing the crowd, then spoke in a loud voice.
Actually, many people had already heard about it, but when Gu Wentian said it again, everyone was still taken aback. They didn't know what kind of terrifying background the person Gu Wentian introduced would have. Otherwise, Gu Wentian wouldn't be so ostentatious!
"Where is Mr. Chen?"
Gu Wen Tian looked at the time and asked Lin Tianhu beside him.
"He might be here soon!" Lin Tianhu didn't know why Chen Ping hadn't arrived yet. He had sounded very sure yesterday.
As soon as Lin Tianhu finished speaking, his phone rang. Seeing that it was a message from Chen Ping, Lin Tianhu showed the message to Gu Wentian.
Gu Wen Tian looked at the information and nodded slightly: "No wonder Mr. Chen hasn't appeared yet, it turns out this is the case, I wasn't considerate enough!"
After Gu Wenttian finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yan who was not far away. At this time, Xiao Yan was also waiting for the young man mentioned by Gu Wenttian to appear. Being so valued by Gu Wenttian meant that this person was definitely not ordinary. If he could get close to such a person, the Xiao family might be able to surpass the Su family!

"Ancient..." Xiao Yan heard this and hurriedly quickened his pace forward, "Elder Ancient, what orders do you have?"
"Today, this banquet, you are not suitable to attend, go back..."
<<>>
Xiao Yan was stunned upon hearing this, staring at Gu Qitian in disbelief. "Ancient One, I…"
But Gu Wentian didn't wait for Xiao Yan to finish speaking before waving his hand dismissively. "Get lost!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was surprised, but he couldn't just stay here. He could only helplessly turn around and leave.
Suddenly, everyone began to speculate whether the Xiao family had offended an ancient power.
At this time, Su Yujie had already secretly brought Chen Ping in. The two of them were hiding in a corner, watching secretly!
"Let's hide first, when the party starts we'll go out. That way we won't be easily found!"
Su Yuxi secretly poked her head out and said.
"Why hide? Since you've already come in, why not just leave openly and confidently!"
After Chen Ping finished speaking, he walked out directly!
Su Yuqi was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Chen Ping, but she couldn't hold him!
"Here I am!"
Lin Tianhu was overjoyed when he saw Chen Ping and exclaimed!
When Guwen looked up, he saw Chen Ping coming and his face lit up immediately. He quickened his pace and walked towards Chen Ping!
At this time, Su Wenzong in the crowd saw Chen Ping appear, and Gu Wentian walked towards Chen Ping. He was immediately drenched in cold sweat.
This was something he had Su Yuqi secretly bring into Chen Ping's place. If Gu Wentong found out, things would be terrible!
