Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Soiree Party

After a minute of camera showing the kitchen as the two left, Nami zoomed it forward to the end.

Unfortunately, the footage had nothing else interesting as it showed the kitchen until the battery died.

"Ahem, Nami, let's move on to the next video." Xiaoyun cleared his throat as he wanted to shift the attention as fast as possible.

"Okay, last one...Hmm, this one is an upload from another camera to this camera. Huh, it has two footage within it."

"Oh, that one... I remember that was the night we had Nami..." Leyan's face suddenly blushed.

"Right. Um, we might need to pause this one at the end." Xiaoyun memory of the video started to hit him.

"Okay."

After a few clicks by Nami, the video finally began.

The video began with the camera pointing at Xiaoyun, making an odd mistake as he held it backward on accident.

"Babe, are you ready?" Xiaoyun asked as the video showed him waiting outside the bedroom.

"Yeah, I'm done."

As the door opened, Leyan was wearing a very modest red dress as it covered most of her skin, but her size made it much more alluring than the dress attempts to convey.

Combined with the makeup on her face and the red heels, it almost made everyone's eyes drop.

"Babe... You look stunning today." Xiaoyun muttered as he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's go already. My feet are already hurting wearing these stupid heels."

As the two walked downstairs, Leyan almost tripped.

"If you want, you can just wear normal shoes," Xiaoyun suggested.

"No. I can't do that. I need to show that my husband's wife is capable of showing class. Besides, this is my first time to a soiree party."

As they walked toward the car, Leyan finally noticed Xiaoyun holding something.

"Why is that?" Leyan asked curiously.

"It's a secret mini-camera. A government official asked me to cooperate with them, and I have to put it on until the party is over....

You need to put one on, too. Just in case I need you to talk to his wife to get more information."

Xiaoyun explained as he put the mini camera on his tie and attached one to Leyan's dress.

"Little does he know that the government didn't even need the footage in the end... What a fucking dumbass betraying his friend like this." Xiaoyun interrupted the video as he commented on it with a grumpy face.

Everyone looked at him with anger as he just spoiled the whole thing, and he immediately shut his mouth.

"Like a secret agent?" Leyan got a little worried.

"No, I just need to act like the usual. That's it."

The two get inside the car, and Xiaoyun starts it up and starts driving.

"Do you remember what you have to do at a soiree party?" Xiaoyun asked.

"I remember you told me to speak softly, have casual talks, and be friendly with everyone, right?"

"Yeah, that's close enough... I'm going to be gone for a few minutes talking to a few of the business partners, okay? You're going to be on your own." Xiaoyun warned.

"I know that! I'm not a baby, okay?" Leyan looked a little irritated by Xiaoyun's attitude.

"Maybe I should have brought someone else..." Xiaoyun muttered.

"Like who? Didn't you say you could only bring your wife to this event? You got a wife in secret?" Leyan suddenly started throwing wild accusations.

"What? No, I said the party member needs to bring a female 'partner,' okay? It could just mean a business partner that is female...

Besides, do you think I know any other woman? I would have either brought you, Wuli, or Shuli."

Xiaoyun paused for a second as he took a right turn.

"All of them are your best friends, okay? You think I'll cheat on you with them?"

"No... but still. Who would you bring if you could pick between the three of us to bring then?" Leyan asked again.

"Definitely Shuli if I got another chance. She's quiet and not so disruptive like you and Wuli." Xiaoyun accidentally spoke his mind as if he was too focused on driving the car.

"What! That's so rude." Wuli yelled out as she stood up from the sofa.

"Disruptive? That is just a baseless claim... Also, we are just as quiet as Shuli. I don't know what you are talking about." Leyan softly replied.

"Uh-huh, all I know is that if Wuli or Mrs.Leyan over here is watching over the footage from this camera, she would call me insane and disrupt the footage," Xiaoyun spoke his mind again.

Wuli immediately sat back down in embarrassment as Xiaoyun somehow perfectly predicted it would happen in the video.

"Honey... How do you want to choose your method of death?" Leyan asked softly still, but the word seemed to finally wake Xiaoyun up as he realized what he had just said.

"I-I mean, I would pick you no matter what. I would never pick anyone else over you. Even if you hold all our babies on one side of the scale and you on the other, I'll pick you no matter what." Xiaoyun quickly dashed out as many words as possible.

"Uh-huh, whatever. You're going to regret it after today." Leyan held her fist back down as they finally arrived at the house of the party.

As the two stepped out of the car, the camera could finally see the entire building.

It was an old-fashioned mansion with a large fountain in the front and a well-maintained garden wall.

Xiaoyun handed the key, and the invitation letter over to a butler, and the two walked inside the mansion.

As they walked inside, Leyan couldn't help but feel in awe.

"This place is so fancy... It's just like what I imagined it in those fancy mansions in the movie." Leyan commented.

"If you want, we can buy one too. I'll just have to work overtime for a year." Xiaoyun suggested.

"No thanks. It would feel a little scary to live in such a big house."

As they stepped inside the mansion, there were already hundreds of people inside.

"Follow me, okay? We're going to talk to the host first." Xiaoyun whispered to Leyan as they continued walking toward the center.

After walking for an entire minute, they finally got to the center.

"Hey, Justin! Long time no see!" Xiaoyun yelled out loud.

"Hey, Songming! How is business going?" Justin asked as he walked up to the two.

"Just the usual. Few ups and few downs." Xiaoyun brushed it off lightly.

"I wouldn't say few ups and downs. Your business is still booming, I heard." Justin replied.

"Well, that's because they can't see the financial records. Ahem, anyway, is this your wife Justin?" Xiaoyun noticed a lady standing next to Justin.

"My wife? No, no, no. This is my sister's friend from Germany. Her name is Lina Heckler." Justin quickly explained himself.

"That's my uncle's daughter!" Anna suddenly spoke up, forcing Nami to pause the video.

"What is she doing here?" Kate asked curiously.

"I don't know... Maybe to help uncle get more steel?" Anna threw a random suggestion.

"Ahem, I'm unpausing." Nami clicked again.

"Oh, hello, Ms.Heckler." Xiaoyun changed his language to English as he didn't know German.

"Hello Mr?"

"Mr.Chen," Justin added.

"Hello, Mr.Chen. It's nice to meet you."

As the two shook hands, Justin turned his attention to the lady next to Xiaoyun.

"Who's the person next to you?" Justin asked curiously.

"She's my wife," Xiaoyun replied.

"A wife already? Aren't you younger than thirty?" Justin looked completely surprised.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xiaoyun sounded a little confused by his reaction.

"Come on, no offense, Miss, but Xiaoyun, are you really settling down this young? You know she's gonna get half of your stuff if you divorce, right?"

"Why would I do that? I'm not planning to divorce. I love her very much." Xiaoyun still sounded a little confused.

"How long have you two been known each other and married for Miss?" Justin asked curiously.

"Um, we have known each other since college and married for... I think six years now?" Leyan replied with uncertainty in her voice.

"Yeah, I think it's six years." Xiaoyun sounded uncertain as well, as neither of them could remember the exact date.

"Damn, that's a long time already... Well, congratulations on you settling down early. It looks like you two really love each other."

"Of course we do. We already have three kids together." Leyan couldn't help but speak up as she disliked Justin's attitude towards her relationship with Xiaoyun.

"Three kids! What! Xiaoyun, you never told me that." Justin was caught off guard even more.

"What? You never asked... Oh snap, is that Tingpang? Sorry, I'll be right back."

Xiaoyun walked over to Leyan for a second, then immediately left the area and disappeared into the crowd.

Suddenly, the video paused on its own as two options appeared.

"Damn, I never knew that this actually worked. Actually, I didn't even expect anyone to watch this, now I think about it." Xiaoyun commented as more and more memories began flooding his head.

"What do you mean this actually worked?" Yuqi asked in confusion as everyone else looked confused as well.

"Well, you know I attached two mini-cameras, one on me and one on Leyan, right?"

Everyone in the room nodded.

"And since the police never requested this footage, I just combined the two into one as an option to switch between using some tools. And this was the part where I turned on Leyan's camera before I left...

So yeah, which one do you guys want to see first?" Xiaoyun asked curiously.
