"Dongjue, calm down!"

"Young Master Lu, let's go into the private room first, sit down and think of a solution!"

Lin Zhibai and Shen Xinghui, one holding him up and the other trying to persuade him, finally managed to pull the enraged Lu Dongjue into the private room.

The door was locked.

"I won't let this go until I teach that bastard a lesson today..." Lu Dongjue stood up again.

"Dongjue!" Lin Zhibai quickly gave Shen Xinghui a look, and Shen Xinghui understood immediately and stood guard at the door.

Although he was not as imposing as Lu Dongjue, he was similar in height and build to Lu Dongjue.

Lu Dongjue wouldn't be able to break through the door so easily.

"Dongjue, can you use your brain?" Lin Zhibai earnestly advised, "What's the point of beating up Huo Beichen now?"

Will your relationship with Wanwan be restored?

"Can those things between you and Gu Fanyan be resolved?"

"To be fair, these things have nothing to do with Huo Beichen."

Lu Dongjue growled, "He took her hand!"

How dare he!

Lin Zhibai patted his forehead. "Dongjue, if you keep talking like that, Xinghui and I won't know how to persuade you anymore."

Shen Xinghui suddenly said, "Huo Beichen is indeed quite smug. If Young Master Lu wants to beat him up now, I'll agree."

Lin Zhibai was speechless. "Shen Xinghui, you're ruining my chance."

Shen Xinghui pursed her lips awkwardly.

Lin Zhibai sat down and sighed, "Dongjue, I'm afraid some of my words are too harsh and might upset you, but it seems I have no choice but to say them now."

"Don't hold it in," Lu Dongjue said gruffly.

Lin Zhibai shook his head: "Have you ever thought that you were indeed wrong about what happened on the island?"

Lu Dongjue's eyes dimmed slightly.

Shen Xinghui disagreed: "Hasn't the matter been clarified? The arson was entirely Sister Li's idea, and it has nothing to do with Gu Fanyan."

"Gu Fanyan just asked Sister Li to find a way to send Wanwan to Huo Beichen's place."

"It was Sister Li who, driven by wickedness, took this opportunity to harm Wanwan."

Lin Zhibai asked, "What about Dong Jue's broken promise?"

He told Wanwan to wait at the hotel, but he didn't show up all night.

Thankfully, Wanwan didn't go back to the hotel, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable... Just think of Lei Bo's mother, who is still lying in the hospital.

Lu Dongjue's eyes darkened further, and he felt every pore on his skin open instantly.

How could he not feel fear and dread?

During this period, he kept dreaming of raging fires at night, and he would wake up in a cold sweat!

He wanted to see her every day to make sure she was safe and sound.

But she didn't answer his calls.

I won't meet with him.

I happened to see her today, but her attitude was so cold.

“It’s not entirely Dong Jue’s fault,” Shen Xinghui said. “Miss Gu…there was always something going on behind the scenes…”

Lin Zhibai shook his head again, "We should know Dongjue the best. Who can stop Dongjue's progress?"

Lu Dongjue was completely defeated, slumped onto the sofa, and looked dejected.

He was wrong.

He trusted Gu Fanyan and drank the wine.

There was nothing in that glass of wine.

But it was a mixed drink with a very high alcohol content; most people would be knocked out after just one glass.

He was caught off guard by Gu Fanyan's scheming.

Shen Xinghui frowned. "To be frank, isn't Miss Gu's competitiveness a little too strong?"

Lin Zhibai's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"Stop fucking analyzing!" Lu Dongjue said impatiently. "Give me a solution!"

Lin Zhibai shook his head, "I think Wanwan is really angry this time."

Shen Xinghui added, "I'm really heartbroken."

Lin Zhibai stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "The only way is to let Wanwan see your true feelings."

Lu Dongjue fell into thought.

...

Huo Beichen escorted Yun Suiwan to the car, a smile playing on his lips: "I feel honored that you are finally willing to use me as a shield in front of Lu Dongjue!"

Yun Suiwan couldn't deny it.

She did indeed try to use him as a shield just now.

"Thank you." She let out a soft sigh, as if someone who was exhausted could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and a trace of weariness appeared in her eyes.

"The situation on the island has been clarified. The fire had nothing to do with Gu Fanyan, and the arsonist has been arrested." Huo Beichen's tone was full of probing.

Yun Suiwan gave a bitter smile and remained silent.

The evening breeze ruffled the stray hairs at her temples, and her tired face had a particularly broken quality.

But it's beautiful.

Huo Beichen softened his voice: "There's a cocktail party at my manor in a few days. There will be many guests. Come and relax."

"When?" she asked. "I'm managing the company now, so I might not have time."

Friday.

"Let me see if I have time and then I'll get back to you."

Huo Beichen smiled and nodded, without asking any further questions.

At least Yun Suiwan didn't refuse outright, which is a good start.

Yun Suiwan got into the car and left.

As soon as the car drove out of the parking lot, the weariness on Yun Suiwan's face immediately disappeared.

“Da Wen,” she asked, “did you find out anything?”

Da Wen nodded: "Huo Beichen has an assistant named A Liang. He should know everything about Huo Beichen."

"But we've tried many methods, and we still can't get in touch with this person."

Yun Suiwan realized that this man named A Liang was probably also very loyal to Huo Beichen.

It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to bribe him and get any information out of him.

Da Wen said, "Actually, we don't need to try to get information out of him. As long as we can track down this person, we might be able to find out where Zeze is."

"But the problem now is that we can't even find any trace of this person."

Yun Suiwan thought for a moment, "I can give it a try. Such an important banquet... his most capable assistant should be there."

Even if they don't show up, I can still find some clues.

She decided to attend the cocktail party on Friday.

Friday's cocktail party was quite important to Huo Beichen.

He intended to expand his business to the city and invited several investors to attend the party.

The more celebrities he attends the party, the easier it is for him to reach a cooperation agreement with those who invest money.

Therefore, if Yun Suiwan appears, it would be the icing on the cake.

After Yun Suiwan agreed to attend, Huo Beichen immediately contacted top dress and jewelry manufacturers, determined to arrange everything for Yun Suiwan.

When the time comes, Yun Suiwan will appear at the party dressed in the outfits he has prepared. With his secret maneuvering, the city's celebrities will soon be convinced that his wedding with Yun Suiwan is imminent.

Putting everything else aside, at least his newly established business in the city has gained a foothold.

Yun Suiwan is indeed very useful.

That day, Yun Wanqing went to the mall for a stroll.

She had heard about what happened on the island, but unfortunately the storm and fire hadn't killed Yun Suiwan.

However, she did notice Gu Fanyan.

Clearly, Gu Fanyan is not only targeting Yun Suiwan, but her methods and scheming are also top-notch.

If we can get in touch with Gu Fanyan, maybe we can cooperate.

As she pondered, she walked into a jewelry store she frequented.

A string of golden pearls immediately caught her eye.
