Lu Han sat between Master Hong and He Mingbo. After a few drinks, his face flushed red, and he waved his arms, saying something unintelligible.
This drew applause from the entire audience.
"Him? He's very capable. All the big shots here like him."
Although Lu Baoqi didn't like Lu Han, at least Lu Han gave her a nice look and knew how to please her.
Having lived in Fengcheng, Jiangzhou for so many years, Lu Baoqi had seen Lu Yi many times, but every time she saw him, she felt the air temperature suddenly drop.
Why bother staying under her nose when you're going to be in the public eye anyway?
What's so great about the Huo family? A wealthy family? Isn't the Lu family a wealthy family too?
Her achievements and status today are the result of her own hard work.
What I dislike most is hearing those people in China say all the time that the Huo family spared no expense in making her a top star.
snort!
It's ridiculous that the Huo family gained a huge following by leveraging her influence, and she performed at Huo family banquets quite a few times!
With Lu Han's persuasion, she quickly accepted reality.
I just don't sleep well here. Sometimes I'm sleeping soundly in bed, but when I wake up I find myself on the sofa in the living room.
And I also inexplicably felt pain all over my body.
But I can't remember what I did that night.
When asked, Lu Han suspected that she was sleepwalking and might have accidentally bumped into something.
So be it, she's sleepwalking. She'll relax here for a while, and then she plans to drive around. No one can control her.
When Lu Baofei heard her say that, she was very worried about her.
He probed, "Baoqi, you should have had a proper talk with the Huo family. Why did you have to make it like this?"
"Also, if you can make phone calls, try to call your parents and fourth sister as often as possible, otherwise, we will all be very worried about you!"
She didn't dare to say it outright, fearing it would cause Lu Baoqi to misunderstand.
Lu Baoqi chuckled and said, "Second sister, I'm such a lazy person, I can send a voice message or make a phone call, you know that!"
Lu Baofei asked in surprise, "Has anyone taken your phone recently?"
Reminded by her, Lu Baoqi thought of the videos Lu Han had shown her after she regained consciousness. Her eyes became glazed, and her memories became blurry again.
"No, at most Han'er kept it for me. You know how difficult that manager is..."
Lu Han said that she couldn't figure out whether what she had done was true or false.
At that moment, a sense of fear suddenly arose in my heart as I said that my agent was difficult.
She seems to have never seen that agent again.
"Second sister, Han'er said that the documents for terminating the contract with the Huo family were sent to me by the Huo family... Could it be?"
Lu Baofei was also confused.
“Baoqi, you know Han’er… he’s grown up now, you need to maintain some boundaries with him.”
"Also, it's Mom's birthday next month, so you and Han'er should both come back. I'll book your plane tickets in the next couple of days!"
Without waiting for Lu Baoqi's reply, she rushed downstairs and sped off towards Fengcheng in her car.
Rumors circulated that Lu Baoqi was sidelined for disobeying the Huo family, and Huo Jingxi even asked her about it.
At the time, she was preoccupied with various project contracts and didn't pay much attention to it. Now that she thinks about it, it's quite unusual that Baoqi never came back after going abroad.
She dialed several times using the car phone, but Huo Jingxi didn't answer.
"What on earth is this person busy with?!"
Just before she got on the highway, Huo Jingxi called.
"Oh, Miss Lu, what brings you here bombarding me with messages like this? Haven't seen me for a few days, and you miss me that much?"
Lu Baofei didn't have time to joke with him.
The reporter asked, "I'd like to ask, has Baoqi's contract expired?"
"maturity?"
Huo Jingxi glanced at Lu Yi, "I talked to you about this not long ago, and you were indifferent. You didn't just hear about it today, did you?"
“She asked my older brother to act as a go-between, saying she wanted to go solo, and she sent me a lot of text messages. I’ve already agreed.”
"But the contract termination agreement requires her to be present in person. She and her agent went abroad and haven't come back. How can the contract be terminated?"
"If you have her authorization to sign on her behalf, I certainly won't make things difficult for her..."
One person confidently declared they were free, while the other claimed they hadn't even completed the contract termination process. Looking at the disconnected phone, Lu Baofei felt a chill run down her spine.
Oh no!
Is Lu Baoqi in danger?
I hope this is a false alarm, but will it be?
Qin Fengying called, but she hung up immediately, drove into the toll booth, crossed the ramp, and headed towards Fengcheng.
On Lu Yi's side, Huo Jingxi shook his head helplessly.
"Speaking of the Lu family, they are truly showing signs of ruin. You have been more than kind to them. They chose to die themselves, and even the King of Hell can't help them!"
At this moment, Lu Yi also got on the highway.
Huo Jingxi had done him a great favor, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to be sent back.
After glancing at the time, Lu Yi said calmly, "Don't make me sound so noble. I never intended to help them!"
Huo Jingxi straightened up, unscrewed a bottle of water, and took a sip.
"Yes, from your perspective, you didn't help them, but you gave them fame if they wanted it, and profit if they wanted it. If they were content, they could live out their lives in peace, but unfortunately..."
Lu Yi overtook several cars, entered the fast lane, and activated cruise control, but his hands remained on the steering wheel.
"Just what I expected! How's your people keeping an eye on things?"
Huo Jingxi tapped the prosthetic leg with a lighter, making a clinking mechanical sound.
“Master Hong and He Mingbo are no longer hiding their relationship from others, and the Lu family, though seemingly sailing smoothly, is actually riddled with hidden dangers.”
"Black Owl's men are waiting for Boss Hong to release the next batch of goods. According to reliable sources, the source of the next batch of goods may not be far from us."
