It looks small and doesn't pose much of a threat.
But it seems to be just an illusion.
Just now, when she was pointing a gun at those assassins, she exuded murderous intent, unlike how harmless she appears now.
As expected, Ji Huaishen's men are all quite capable.
Including his precious darling.
Chi Yan tossed the gun in his hand to his subordinate behind him and walked towards Lu Beicheng.
"Young Master Lu arrived just in time."
Chi Yan practically forced these words out through gritted teeth.
His eyes were mocking, and his tone was sarcastic.
Lu Beicheng knew, of course, that Young Master Chi was angry, after all, so many people had been killed.
Indeed, he deliberately delayed and arrived late.
Although he and Ji Huaishen were business partners and old friends, they ultimately could not completely trust each other.
He couldn't just rush out and help them blindly; he had to assess their capabilities first.
This includes Chi Yan and Mu Xiaocheng.
At the very least, we need to determine whether there's any fraud involved.
Because the instructions had already been given from above.
CASO's people are no longer trustworthy, and Ji Huaishen has become a key target of the military's vigilance.
Lu Beicheng smiled dismissively, his face, as cold and hard as if carved by a knife, gave off an exceptionally sharp feeling.
"Something came up on the way and I was delayed."
He spoke casually, his gaze already shifting to Mu Xiaocheng as he spoke.
"Is this Ji Huaishen's newlywed wife?"
He stood upright with his arms hanging naturally, and the muscles on them looked strong and muscular.
Suddenly being called upon, Mu Xiaocheng began to carefully examine the man in front of her.
He had a handsome, angular face, with a cold and masculine air.
His tall figure stood before her, his expression languid and casual, yet he remained ramrod straight due to his long-standing training habits.
He was tall and slender, and naturally exuded the demeanor and aura of a powerful leader.
"I am."
Mu Xiaocheng was a little afraid to look Lu Beicheng in the eye because he looked somewhat terrifying and fierce.
Lu Beicheng's lips curled up casually: "I am Lu Beicheng."
"Hello, Commander Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Mu Xiaocheng smiled slightly, though Lu Beicheng thought it was fake, but he didn't call her out on it.
Are you that afraid of him?
He's much kinder than that fox Ji Huaishen.
If she's so afraid of him, then this little girl must be even more afraid of Ji Huaishen.
"Do you want to know where Ji Huaishen went?"
Lu Beicheng raised his eyes, his gaze fixed ahead, without looking at anyone.
Do you know where he is?
Mu Xiaocheng subconsciously asked back.
She was currently worried about Ji Huaishen's safety, and it would be best if Lu Beicheng were willing to tell her.
Upon hearing their conversation, Chi Yan immediately stepped forward and stood between them.
He raised an eyebrow at Lu Beicheng with some displeasure and said, "Young Master Lu, you don't need to worry about my brother's affairs."
"oh?"
Lu Beicheng chuckled, raising an eyebrow: "But this young girl seems quite worried about Ji Huaishen."
His tone was playful, as if he didn't take the banquet seriously at all.
It's like they're joking.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
Mu Xiaocheng didn't want to continue playing games with him. This man was clearly not someone to be trifled with, nor was he the type to help people easily.
Since he revealed it, he must have his own purpose.
As for what it was, she didn't want to ask.
All she wanted to know was where Ji Huaishen was.
