Have you seen the news?
Yesterday, the two young ladies from the Chi family and the eldest son of the Lei family caused a ruckus at a hotpot restaurant and were taken away by the police! What nonsense about causing trouble; it was just the Lei family's young master buying trending topics to slander Miss Chi. The two got into an argument, and since there were police present, they were all taken in!
The next day, the headlines in the city exploded again.
"Is Miss Chi's rumor about keeping a male model fabricated?"
"The Lei family's eldest son and the two young ladies from the Chi family taken to the police station."
"Is Lei Ji of the Lei family suspected of being detained by the police?!"
A light drizzle fell outside.
In her bedroom, Chi Mu Jiu had no desire to wake up. Her body felt weak. She wasn't stirred awake by the vibrating phone on her bedside table but rather by an urgent need to relieve herself.
Glancing at the time, it was nearly eleven in the morning. She had slept deeply through the night. The first thing she did was check her messages with Du Hang Yan, but there was no response. What on earth was this guy up to? He wasn’t even replying to her messages. Chi Mu Jiu sighed softly. Just as she was about to call him, she received a call from Ye Jue.
"Miss Chi, it's me, Ye Jue."
Ye Jue's voice sounded somewhat urgent.
Chi Mu Jiu responded with a soft "Hmm," and then listened as Ye Jue continued, "Lei Ji has been released from the police station, and today the Lei family has invited other families in the city to a banquet. I’ve received news that rather than a banquet, it’s actually a collaboration meeting; this banquet is only inviting the heirs of several prominent families."
Chimu Jiu listened carefully. Just when she was worried about finding the Lu family, she didn't expect them to take action so soon.
"Is there an invitation?"
The Ye family had indeed received an invitation.
"Yes," Ye Jue replied immediately, "it has been sent to your phone."
Upon hearing this, Chimu Jiu stepped back to check her messages, and a golden invitation card appeared prominently on the screen.
Zooming in on the image, it read: "Lei Family Banquet, Special Invitation." The date listed was tonight.
"So soon?" She furrowed her brows slightly. Was the Lu family so impatient? Could it be that her support for the Chi family had forced the Lu family's plans to move up?
"Yes, that's why I called you as soon as I received the invitation. I believe all the major families and enterprises have received theirs by now."
But only the Chi family had not received an invitation. The Lei family clearly hadn't intended to send one to them.
It was obvious that this was another scheme by Lei Ji; that man truly held grudges. If he could escape from the police station, it was likely that the Lei family had spent a considerable amount of money to bail him out.
"I'll be with you tonight."
The call ended.
Tonight would undoubtedly be another fierce battle in the business world. The Lei family's target was no longer just the Chi family; it was the entire business alliance of the city.
Including the Ye family, which controls the commercial lifeline of the city, and the Lei family, both want to replace the newly risen Lu family.
Where is Chi Mu Jiu? I need to find Chi Mu Jiu!
Chi Mu Jiu!
In the bedroom, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were only covered by a layer of sheer curtains on the outside.
From downstairs, a woman's voice could be faintly heard calling out.
Without needing to think too much, she knew it was Chi Qi Yun who had arrived.
However, it seemed that she had been stopped by the brothers at the door.
Weren't they all taken to the police station? How come that woman was the only one being held back?
