In the afternoon, the weather was very good and the sun was shining.
But at this moment, a light drizzle began to fall again.
The whole world is wet.
Ji Yuqi looked at the dark night, which seemed particularly cold under the orange light, and replied lightly, "Yeah."
"But the capital is your hometown," Yu Guiwan said. "Country Z's custom is to return to one's roots. You will come back eventually."
"But..." Ji Yuqi paused slightly. She turned her head to meet Shangyu Guiwan's gaze. Although there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, her expression was particularly lonely. "I have no home here for a long time."
Ji Yuqi's voice was very faint and low, but the three words "no home" hit her chest at once.
She is also a homeless person.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere suddenly felt too heavy.
Yu Guiwan didn't want to ruin the wonderful atmosphere of the night, so she wanted to change the subject.
As they looked around, they accidentally caught sight of a black figure swiftly passing behind them. Yu Guiwan immediately covered her mouth and screamed softly, "Oh my God, Qiqi, it's Pei Yucheng."
Ji Yuqi felt a chill down his spine.
When she turned around, she could only barely see the back of a figure getting into a black Rolls-Royce...
…
the next day.
Imperial Capital Time: 8:20.
Chaebol Building.
A large conference room that can accommodate 500 people.
Executives from all branches of the Pei Group sat there in their smart attire.
Today is December 28th.
It is the annual general meeting of the Pei Group.
According to the group's regulations, all senior executives of Pei Group's subsidiaries and branches located in various countries and regions around the world must arrive at the Pei Group headquarters on time to participate in the meeting.
This is the highest meeting within the group.
It is held on time every year.
However, this year...
At exactly nine o'clock in the imperial capital time, the fortieth minute of the delay, everyone in the conference hall began to feel uneasy and whispered to each other. At the Imperial Mansion, Pei Yucheng, the chief executive of the Pei Group, was still in the boxing room, sweating profusely.
Secretary Xu Ze came in a hurry and saw from a distance: Tang Ye and twelve servants were waiting outside the door in a neat and tidy manner.
Xu Ze walked over and was about to ask: Why hasn't President Pei attended the group meeting yet?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he heard Pei Huaijin's painful wailing and begging, deafening.
In the boxing room, Pei Huaijin was beaten badly.
Xu Ze listened to his endless cries, each one more shrill than the last, with a frown on his face.
He asked Tang Ye: "Did the Second Young Master do something wrong again and anger President Pei?!"
Tang Ye shook his head.
Xu Ze was instantly horrified: If he had done nothing wrong, why did Boss Pei beat him to death?!
Looking at Xu Ze's bewildered expression, still holding a document in his hand, Tang Ye endured it again and again, and finally whispered a reminder: "Stay as far away from Master Cheng as possible. Don't bring trouble upon yourself."
"..." Xu Ze was even more confused and had no idea what it meant.
Tang Ye continued, "Master Cheng had a dinner party at the Royal Restaurant yesterday. I asked the guard who accompanied him, and he said that Ji Yuqi flirted with a family heir who was not presentable in front of Master Cheng..."
