"The funniest part has to be the Ying family, right? I heard bad news in the afternoon, the old lady in their family committed suicide out of guilt..."
Some middle-aged men and women who weren't qualified to enter the courtyard and take seats were full of envy, standing not far away and gossiping.
Some were praising, while others were full of emotions.
Some even scoffed, looking distantly towards the North City where the Ying family is located.
Compared to the lively and bustling Xia Family Mansion, that side must be under dark clouds, full of wailings.
"What, you're preparing to depart tonight?"
The banquet went on uproariously until the early hours of the morning.
Lin Fan wasn't particularly drunk, waiting until the crowd dispersed after offering their congratulations.
Only then did he briefly relay the newly received national top-secret mission to Mr. Xia Sr.
The old man widened his eyes in astonishment, and after a moment he nodded heavily.
