Chapter 1056 Failure Comes with Punishment

In reality, Su Xiaotian knew that if her two faces could be compared, her current appearance was vastly different from her bare face.

Today, Su Xiaotian had put in considerable effort to dress up.

After all, many people would be present at the exhibition, and her not-so-clear photo had been exposed in the newspapers.

No one knew if those robbers had accomplices.

If they had accomplices outside, it would be strange if they didn't come looking for her to settle accounts.

If she still appeared with her original face, it was hard to guarantee she wouldn't be recognized and targeted, or even directly attacked.

Even if she herself was skilled in martial arts, and even if Director Duan and Deputy Head Wei had specifically assigned someone to protect her, as long as the other party was determined to take her life, they would always find an opportunity.

The only way to solve the problem once and for all was to not let anyone recognize her.

Su Xiaotian looked at herself in the mirror with great satisfaction. While her own mother might not recognize her if she stood opposite, for foreigners, it was probably difficult to identify her.

When Su Xiaotian appeared in the dining hall, many members of the troupe were already having breakfast.

Upon seeing Su Xiaotian, everyone couldn't help but doubt if their memories were wrong, as Su Xiaotian now seemed different from their memories.

But they couldn't quite articulate where the difference lay.

The Su Xiaotian before them gave them a feeling of being completely different people, yet also somewhat similar.

In short, it was a very strange feeling.

A feeling of being both yes and no, always making people feel so peculiar.

Deputy Head Wei asked, "Comrade Su Xiaotian, your attire today is a bit strange. Why do you look like you've changed into someone else?"

After asking this, Deputy Head Wei realized he shouldn't have asked at all.

The reason was something he understood perfectly well; this girl Su Xiaotian knew what was important.

At this moment, Deputy Head Wei had clearly forgotten how much he had previously disliked Su Xiaotian's lack of discretion.

Su Xiaotian smiled and said, "It's just that I'm going to witness a grand occasion today, so I have to dress up a bit."

When Wu Menglan heard Su Xiaotian's words, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

She secretly cursed in her heart: "A bitch is always a bitch!"

Attending an exhibition and dressing up so elaborately, as if she were going out to show off.

However, no matter how much she cursed in her heart, she had to admit that Su Xiaotian was truly beautiful.

Her already stunning face, after being dressed up, was clearly seven parts more beautiful than before.

She was so angry she gnashed her teeth. She was the model today, the one who should be radiant. What was Su Xiaotian trying to do?

Was it that she couldn't stand to see others do well and always wanted to suppress her?

Wu Menglan harbored deep hatred for Su Xiaotian but couldn't voice it, so she could only bury her head in her food.

What's more, as she was eating, someone next to her reminded her, "Menglan, you should eat less. You're modeling today, and if you eat too much, your waist will thicken, and it won't look good!" Su Dan Novel Network

Wu Menglan looked at this talkative man, feeling incredibly angry!

Was this human language?

Could this person speak properly?

She was naturally beautiful and slender, alright?

Even if she ate two more bowls of rice, what difference would it make?

She would still be able to wear clothes with great flair.

"Can't even shut your mouth while eating!" Wu Menglan said irritably.

"You're wearing a qipao today, and the requirements for a model are high. I'm just kindly reminding you!"

The other party clearly didn't expect Wu Menglan to not only ignore his advice but also speak so rudely, and his expression soured.

Wu Menglan was filled with resentment at this moment and couldn't stop. She completely ignored the other's persuasion and grabbed a small bread to continue eating.

Meanwhile, not far from them, someone was intently listening to everyone's conversation.

After a simple breakfast, Su Xiaotian got up to prepare to depart with Director Duan, Deputy Head Wei, and others.

Mr. Feng Yushu followed Su Xiaotian as if he were a child afraid of losing his adult, a sight that made Deputy Head Wei chuckle.

Wasn't this old man so arrogant before?

Why was there no trace of his former arrogance now?

What is cold aloofness in this world?

It's just that one is subdued by another.

This old man was destined to be subdued by Comrade Su Xiaotian.

"Little Tian girl, you'll ride in the same car as me!"

When it was time to get into the car, Mr. Feng Yushu had an opinion again, insisting on riding in the same car as Su Xiaotian, with the simple reason being that they needed to discuss some matters.

In the end, Mr. Feng Yushu, Su Xiaotian, Director Duan, and Deputy Head Wei got into the same car.

As she got into the car, Su Xiaotian carried a not-too-large leather bag, similar to those carried by foreign women, with nothing unusual apparent.

Mr. Feng always carried a cloth bag, which was also unremarkable.

Director Duan also had a small briefcase.

Only Deputy Head Wei carried a box, not very large, but not small either.

Everyone understood that since they were going to the exhibition today, the box in Deputy Head Wei's hand should contain the fabrics and design drafts to be used.

It was heard that the silk fabrics to be exhibited today were to be made into qipaos.

With Mr. Feng Yushu personally designing them, the qipaos should be breathtaking, shouldn't they?

Thinking this, everyone didn't pay much attention, and each got into their assigned cars.

Only one person, watching Su Xiaotian get into the same car as Director Duan, Deputy Head Wei, and Mr. Feng Yushu, was extremely anxious.

Although he hadn't found anything valuable last night, he was almost certain that these people were up to something.

They must have discussed something or had another plan.

He just didn't know where they had hidden everything.

He had received news that the fabrics and design drafts to be exhibited today had already been replaced.

And today, the box still appeared in Deputy Head Wei's hands.

This meant the items had always been in Deputy Head Wei's possession?

How was this possible?

He saw the box Deputy Head Wei was carrying and almost wanted to rush forward to snatch it.

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, he still restrained himself.

He had already leaked the day's route and the place where they were to disembark.

He could only hope that they wouldn't falter and could snatch the box before Deputy Head Wei entered the venue with the fabrics and design drafts.

If they couldn't succeed, his mission this time would be a failure, and he would likely be punished.

Thinking of the punishment he might receive, this person's face turned pale for a moment!

"Hey, why haven't you gotten into the car yet? We're waiting for you."

Someone saw this person standing under the car, staring blankly at the departing cars ahead, and couldn't help but call out.

"Coming right up, I was just lost in thought!" This person hurriedly apologized with a smile and then got into the car to depart.
