Chapter 296 Esteemed Guest
Qin Minghuang frowned. He found that his actions had not achieved the desired effect. He had expected to see Chen Yang in a predicament when he and Liu Ran walked out.
However, it was clearly Liu Xin and Yu Gang who were now in trouble.
And if Liu Xin were to reveal him, then the entire plan would be ruined.
With this thought, Qin Minghuang immediately spoke loudly, "What are you doing? How dare you cause trouble at a banquet like this? Guards, escort those people out."
As the host of the banquet, Qin Minghuang's command was immediately followed by several security guards who quickly entered.
The guards walked towards Liu Xin, Yu Gang, Chen Yang, and Yao Dando.
Yao Dando said indignantly at this moment, "What are you doing? They are the ones causing trouble. Why are you looking at me? Chen Yang brother and I are the wronged parties."
Upon hearing this, the guards stepped aside, intending to escort Liu Xin and Yu Gang out.
Qin Minghuang immediately said loudly, "What are you useless people doing? I said to escort both sides of the commotion out. All four of them, without exception, take them away."
The guards immediately replied, "Yes!"
Then, they moved towards Chen Yang and Yao Dando, preparing to escort them out.
Seeing this, Liu Ran was anxious and quickly said to Qin Minghuang, "Mr. Qin, there's been a misunderstanding. One of them is my husband. He definitely wouldn't cause trouble. Please be lenient, Mr. Qin."
Qin Minghuang heard this and felt jealous, but with a hypocritical smile, he turned to Liu Ran and said in surprise, "What? One of those people is your husband, Ms. Liu? No way? I saw the man kneeling; he looks ordinary. He shouldn't be Ms. Liu's husband, right?"
Liu Ran quickly said, "No, no, it's the other man."
Qin Minghuang appeared troubled and said, "Ms. Liu, this... this is a bit difficult. You know this party is hosted by me. If I say I'll make an exception for your husband now, how will others see me?"
"There's a conflict between both parties now, and as the host, I can only escort them all out."
"Oh dear, Ms. Liu, if I make an exception for your husband, you'll owe me a big favor."
Liu Ran was stunned upon hearing this and was about to agree anxiously.
After all, even if she owed Qin Minghuang a favor, it was better than Chen Yang being kicked out.
However, just as Liu Ran was about to thank Qin Minghuang and incur the favor.
Another co-host of the banquet, Zhou Sinian, hurried over.
Zhou Sinian arrived and suddenly shouted, "What are you four security guards doing? How dare you be so rude to the esteemed guests at the banquet?"
Then, Zhou Sinian immediately walked over, pushed the guards aside, and apologized to Chen Yang and Yao Dando, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Chen. My security guards were ignorant. Please forgive us."
Chen Yang merely nodded without saying much.
Yao Dando immediately said, "Lord Zhou, you've come at the right time. These two deliberately slandered Chen Yang brother at the banquet, trying to embarrass him."
"I don't know if they have invitations or if someone brought them in. They are so audacious as to cause trouble at a banquet you are hosting. I believe they should not be let off lightly!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sinian immediately turned and looked angrily at Liu Xin and Yu Gang. Zhou Sinian frowned and said, "How did you get your invitations? Or did you sneak in?"
"How dare you cause trouble at a banquet I am hosting and be so disrespectful to my esteemed guests? Have you eaten a lion's heart?"
"Guards, take them down and interrogate them thoroughly to find out what happened!"
The surrounding guests were all astonished to witness this scene.
After all, Zhou Sinian had rushed over and was initially bowing and scraping to Chen Yang, which greatly surprised everyone.
"What's going on? Lord Zhou seemed very polite to Chen Yang just now!"
"I noticed that too. It seems like Lord Zhou knows Chen Yang."
"I think perhaps we're overthinking it. Maybe Lord Zhou was just handling it impartially."
"Pah, impartially? Impartially with what? Didn't you see? He pushed the guards away as soon as he arrived and then apologized to Chen Yang. I think Chen Yang might have a connection with Lord Zhou!"
"How can Chen Yang, a delivery driver, have any connection with a high-ranking official like Zhou Sinian?"
"I think this Chen Yang is not simple. Look, he's pursued by a super rich beauty like Yao Dando right from the start. And he has connections with Zhou Sinian. He might be the son of some important figure! No wonder he could marry Liu Ran."
The crowd buzzed with discussion. Qin Minghuang and Liu Ran stood on the banquet stage. Seeing this, Liu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she no longer had to owe Qin Minghuang a favor.
Meanwhile, Qin Minghuang felt uneasy because Liu Xin and Yu Gang were both brought in by him with the intention of using them to deal with Chen Yang.
If Zhou Sinian were to investigate now, their subsequent actions would be inconvenient.
With this thought, Qin Minghuang strode over, chuckled, and said to Zhou Sinian, "Oh, Lord Zhou, why are you personally attending to such a minor matter?"
"I think it's best to just escort them out. Making a scene at a banquet is not proper."
"Let all four of them go. Let them continue their quarrel outside."
Qin Minghuang naturally did not want Chen Yang to stay, so he directly proposed to have Chen Yang escorted out.
In Qin Minghuang's view, Zhou Sinian would surely give him face.
The banquet today was nominally co-hosted by himself and Zhou Sinian, and given the significant investment he was bringing to Qingzhou City, he had the authority to make such decisions.
As Qin Minghuang spoke, he directly said to the guards, "Hurry up, escort all four of them out."
However, the next moment, Zhou Sinian frowned and said to Qin Minghuang, "Mr. Qin, this matter is quite clear. It was those two troublemakers who deliberately slandered Mr. Chen in front of everyone."
"Every invited guest is a patron of our banquet, and Mr. Chen is the husband of a well-known entrepreneur in Qingzhou City and one of the founders of Yangyangyang Company. We cannot treat him like this."
"In any case, let's just escort the two troublemakers out."
The guards exchanged glances. The two hosts had differing opinions. They dared not linger and immediately grabbed Liu Xin and Yu Gang, escorting them out of the banquet.
As for Chen Yang and Yao Dando, they dared not provoke them, as Zhou Sinian intended to protect them.
Qin Minghuang frowned. He hadn't expected Zhou Sinian to disregard his face and insist on keeping Chen Yang. This Zhou Sinian had no foresight.
However, with the guards gone, there was nothing more for Qin Minghuang to say.
Qin Minghuang, a seasoned fox, chuckled and said to Zhou Sinian, "Lord Zhou is right. As long as the matter is resolved, let's officially start our banquet."
Then, Qin Minghuang turned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and strode towards the stage.
At this time, Liu Ran stood angrily opposite Chen Yang, pouting at him, then glancing at Yao Dando, who was clinging to Chen Yang's arm.
