Ye Qi was gravely injured, and this sudden turn of events left his underground organization temporarily unattended. During this time, Du Hengyan grew increasingly impatient as the leaders of various underground forces from different countries converged, attempting to seize opportunities amidst the chaos to snatch business.
In an instant, the situation became intricate and fraught with danger. However, Du Hengyan's return was like a stabilizing anchor, restoring morale and leading his subordinates to eliminate the various factions with ulterior motives one by one, even uprooting them entirely.
Those who had witnessed Du Hengyan's methods once again were filled with trepidation; no one dared to harbor any covetous thoughts. The seemingly tranquil underworld was still home to deeper, discontented forces that were stirring restlessly.
The sky was clear and cloudless. The azure expanse resembled a massive sapphire, with sunlight pouring down unobstructed. It was indeed a fine day. Bright light streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the room.
Chi Mu Jiu stirred slightly as her phone beside her emitted a low battery warning. The screen displayed a mere one percent of power remaining. Groggily, she picked up the phone and realized that her call with Du Hengyan had not yet ended. At this hour, he should be adjusting to the time difference.
Just as she thought about hanging up, the phone suddenly shut off. Looking at the black screen, Chi Mu Jiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Well, it seems my phone understands me quite well.
The press conference for the collaboration between the Chi family and the Ye family was set to take place at a venue exclusive to Ye Family's Yuen Group. Towering commercial buildings stood like steel giants in the heart of the city, showcasing the Ye family's formidable strength.
The parking lot of the building was already filled to capacity, with luxury cars parked in neat rows, underscoring the significance of this press conference. Well-known journalists had long since entered the venue, while some lesser-known reporters could only crowd around the entrance and exit, eager to capture any exclusive news from within—even just a small snippet would be enough to elevate their status in the journalism world.
A convoy of vehicles with matching license plates slowly approached the perimeter of the press conference.
The luxurious car appeared, instantly drawing the attention of reporters. They were like hunters catching the scent of prey, all eyes fixated on the vehicle. The bodyguards from the Ye family acted swiftly, stepping forward to block the frenzied reporters a meter away from the car.
Inside the vehicle, Chi Mu Jiu watched the scene unfold with a hint of helplessness. Was it really to the point where even a dog would be stopped and questioned?
The bodyguard respectfully opened the car door, and Chi Mu Jiu, dressed in an elegant black gown and wearing high heels, gracefully stepped out. Her appearance immediately sparked another wave of excitement.
"Miss Chi?!"
It was indeed Miss Chi!
The reporters erupted in a chorus of exclamations.
"Miss Chi, what are your thoughts on today's press conference? Can you share with us?"
"Miss, it’s said that the Chi family’s collaboration with the Ye family was due to your auction where a contract was purchased for billions. Is that true?"
Chi Mu Jiu had no intention of engaging with these reporters; she had always preferred to keep her private life away from the public eye. However, one reporter's question caught her off guard. At the auction, she and Du Hang Yan had worn masks throughout, and aside from the Ye family and Zhu Chen, no one could have known her identity.
Suddenly, she recalled her conversation with Chi Qi Yun from the Chi family. It seemed this mother-daughter duo had stirred up quite a commotion.
She slightly raised her chin and replied, "I was the one who secured the contract; however, it wasn’t my money that paid for it—it was my husband’s."
