Wu Fangming and Xiong Ajiao couldn't help but look at the same picture at the same time.
Is Chuanliu planning to put a piece of his work in the spotlight?
Upon hearing this, Hou Yifan's smile froze, and he stared intently at Chuanliu.
"oh?"
Li Quan glanced at Hou Yifan out of the corner of his eye, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
The girl took a deep breath, took out a playing card from her pocket, and gently placed it on the conference table.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the card, a black club representing the City of Clubs.
"Plum Blossom 2"?
When Hou Yifan saw this card, his first reaction was nervousness, followed by confusion.
He quickly searched his mind, trying to recall if any of the people he had sent out held the "2 of Clubs" identity card.
His gaze involuntarily drifted towards Xiong Ajiao, a hint of suspicion rising in his heart.
He tried hard to control his expression and said gently to Xiong Ajiao, "Ajiao, I gave you a 'Two of Clubs' card before, right?"
Xiong Ajiao was taken aback by Hou Yifan's sudden question. She nodded blankly, but then realized the man's suspicion and quickly explained, "No, Yifan, the identity token you gave me is still with me."
As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled out his "2 of Clubs" from his pocket to prove his innocence.
Now even Hou Yifan, who was the instigator, is uncertain.
Two "Club Twos" were placed on the table, and he and Li Quanyou looked at each other in bewilderment.
Meanwhile, Qian Chuan and Zhui Ming, who knew who owned the card, both looked at Chuan Liu at the same time, then quietly looked away.
Instead of using this card to enter the main city, they used it to "frame" Plum Blossom City.
Chuanliu broke the silence at the right moment, "This is my evidence. I think this card is enough to prove that the people who want to kill me are from the City of Plum Blossoms."
Li Quanyou's eyebrows furrowed; he never expected that the other party actually had evidence.
And this is such solid evidence.
The difference is that this time, Chuanliu is not targeting Hou Yifan, but Plum Blossom City.
Li Quanyou couldn't help but curse Hou Yifan in his heart. Hou Yifan not only failed to accomplish what he wanted to do, but he also did it so sloppily.
He'll have to clean up his mess again...
If this cannot be resolved properly, and Chuanliu and Wu Fangming cause trouble at the higher levels of Plum Blossom City, it will be another big problem.
Li Quan said seriously, "We will verify this issue as soon as possible. However... there are a large number of 'Plum Blossom 2' members in Plum Blossom City, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to catch the person who wants to harm you."
Acting quickly doesn't guarantee success.
They did another round of Tai Chi.
Li Quanyou has simply taken the way certain institutions operate to the extreme.
Chuanliu, however, was not angry. She looked at Hou and Li with delight and exclaimed excitedly, "Really! You're really willing to find the murderer for me!"
Hou Yifan forced a smile. "Of course, it's my honor to serve a beautiful lady."
"Mr. Hou! I've decided to be your friend!"
The girl excitedly walked around the table and grabbed Hou Yifan's hand, leaving Hou Yifan completely bewildered.
Then, a single sentence from Chuanliu froze him in place.
"I'll definitely come to you again if I run into trouble next time!"
Looking into Chuanliu's sincere eyes and at her tightly holding his hand, Hou Yifan forced a smile, feeling his face stiffen.
This is supposed to be a nice thing to say, but why does it sound so strange?
If he does something more to Chuanliu, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Before he could think further, Qian Chuan suddenly stood up and said, "Chuanliu is a citizen of our Cube City. Protecting Chuanliu is protecting the people of Cube City. Boss Hou, you've really impressed me!"
After saying that, he gave Wu Fangming a meaningful look from a hidden angle.
Wu Fangming understood and clasped his hands in return, saying, "Boss Hou, then we'll have to cooperate more in the future. I'll be in the open, and you'll be in the shadows, working together to protect Chuanliu."
The more they showered him with compliments, the more enthusiastic they became.
Li Quan chuckled twice to himself; he didn't like the feeling of being ignored.
He cleared his throat, trying to get Chuanliu's attention, but the girl seemed to be absorbed in her gratitude towards Hou Yifan.
"Boss Hou, can I call you Brother Hou from now on?"
"Brother Hou, how do you take care of your skin? It looks so good!"
"What? Brother Hou, you're already over forty? You don't look it at all!"
"..."
Chuanliu started chatting with Hou Yifan, leaving Li Quanyou standing aside.
Li Quanyou cleared his throat again. He noticed that everyone else's attention was also on Chuanliu and Hou Yifan, and he felt that he was not being given enough attention, which made him unhappy.
He could only vent his emotions on the only person in the room who actually had the upper hand, saying, "Hou Yifan, we're still in a meeting, so be mindful!"
He lowered his voice, concealing the anger in his heart, seemingly only wanting to restore order to the meeting.
Although Hou Yifan wasn't blinded by the flattery, he was still confused when the atmosphere was suddenly interrupted.
Chuanliu sneered inwardly.
For someone like Li Quanyou, a bureaucrat, the thing that can most affect his emotions is having his power taken away.
Just a few words are enough to cause him emotional turmoil; if one day someone who has always been under his command were to rise above him, it would probably be more painful for him than being killed.
The lively atmosphere cooled down, and Li Quanyou felt a little awkward for a moment.
After a long silence, a sudden figure broke the deadlock in the meeting room.
A sexy woman with big, wavy hair pushed open the door and entered.
Her appearance seemed to bring a breath of fresh air to the oppressive space that Li Quanyou had just created.
Without prior notice or a tentative knock, she simply walked in as if this were her home.
The woman wore a black satin slip dress, the hem swaying gently with her steps, exuding a mysterious and alluring charm. She wore red stiletto heels, which further accentuated her elegant posture and captivating gait.
She wore bold red lipstick, and her nails were painted the same red. The fiery red contrasted sharply with her snow-white skin, making her even more stunningly beautiful.
Her all-black outfit perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure, with every detail exuding an ultimate feminine charm.
After the woman entered the conference room, she glanced around, a charming smile playing on her lips, and said in a teasing tone:
"The city of plum blossoms hasn't been this lively in a long time."
Her voice is magnetic, as if it has a magic that makes it irresistible.
The moment Li Quan saw the woman, his previously somewhat blocked mood suddenly cleared up, and a fascinated smile involuntarily appeared on his weathered face.
