Ji Mingjing snapped out of her daze and said coldly, "I just didn't want to embarrass you. Since you're not afraid, let's meet at the Zijing Pavilion."
Zijinge Club is a nationwide chain of private clubs.
Therefore, Xizhou City also has one, and in the prime downtown location where land is extremely valuable, business is booming.
It had been an hour since Gu Yunzhen and Ji Mingjing met.
Inside the private room, Gu Yunzhen poured a little whiskey into his glass and said in a low voice, "You're not touching Fu Lin because of your elders?"
Ji Mingjing picked up his wine glass and took a sip: "You already know, so why ask?"
Gu Yunzhen, who hadn't been drinking, asked slowly and deliberately, "What if the fire that wiped out the Fu family was caused by Fu Lin?"
Ji Mingjing's pupils suddenly contracted, and he denied it, saying, "That's impossible!"
Gu Yunzhen scoffed: "Heh."
Suddenly, Ji Mingjing's cold gaze fixed on him, and she asked in a deep voice, "What evidence do you have?"
"She's the head of the Divine Envoy Organization, and she's been hiding in the Yu family of the Imperial City for so many years. Haven't you ever thought about their motives?"
Gu Yunzhen's handsome face remained calm, and his tone of voice was as if he were discussing the weather.
"Perhaps you think that no matter what the Divine Messenger Organization does, it won't endanger the Ultimate Organization, and you two will keep to your own business."
"But unfortunately, you two are already enemies, unless you insist on marrying Rongrong."
Upon hearing him mention Rongrong, Ji Mingjing's expression changed drastically, his gaze sharp as a sword: "What do you know?"
Gu Yunzhen's handsome face remained calm and composed, as still as a mirror, without the slightest ripple.
Ji Mingjing said impatiently, "Is this your sincerity in asking for help?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhen's thin lips curved into a faint smile: "Getting angry ages you quickly, so remember to take care of yourself. After all, beautiful and rich women all like younger men, so don't end up being 'dumped'!"
"Gu Yunzhen! Are you looking for death?"
Ji Mingjing was so angry he laughed. Xizhou City was his territory, and this guy was so arrogant on his own turf. Wasn't he afraid of getting a sack over his head?
Gu Yunzhen smiled and said, "Don't curse me. I still want to live to be a hundred years old with my wife."
As Ji Mingjing listened to his boastful tone, he downed the whiskey in his glass in one gulp and smashed the glass toward Gu Yunzhen's head.
Gu Yunzhen nimbly leaned to the left, perfectly avoiding the attack.
The next second, the wine glass rolled on the carpet but didn't break.
Seeing this, Ji Mingjing sneered and stood up: "You can stay in Xizhou City until you die, but don't come looking for me again."
The implication was that he would never see Gu Yunzhen again!
If they won't even meet with me, they certainly won't agree to help.
Therefore, Gu Yunzhen's trip was fruitless.
"Don't want to hear it? Then you can leave." Gu Yunzhen waved her hand, showing no intention of stopping her.
However, the more he acted this way, the more uneasy Ji Mingjing felt, simply because he mentioned Rongrong!
Rongrong is his Achilles' heel!
Without much thought, Ji Mingjing sat down again with a somber expression, his narrow eyes coldly fixed on him.
