The next day, Star City was in turmoil.
The people of Star City were united against outsiders, as the pie was only so big, and with more people to share it, the less they would have.
If they were all of similar strength, they would definitely resist, but if the other party had a great background and was much stronger than them, they would have no ideas at all, and would instead cling to their coattails.
In the Mu family villa.
"Stay away from Lin Tian Ai recently. The Juxing Group will go bankrupt within a month at most. Then there will be many people to share the spoils, so we shouldn't participate."
Mu Renyi said slowly, sitting on a luxurious sofa, a glint in his eyes.
Mu Hanqi, who was about to go out, heard this and frowned: "What happened? Didn't the Juxing Group have funds? They shouldn't go bankrupt, right?"
Mu Renyi shook his head: "Now that the Ye family from the capital has entered Star City, do you think they won't cause a stir? Although Ye Longlin is protecting them from the shadows, how could he possibly be a match for the Ye family? Besides, the Gu family is backed by the Star South Family Alliance. Do you think the Gu family's affairs will just be forgotten?"
"On one side is the top force from the north, and on the other side is the southern family alliance. Even if Ye Longlin had heaven-defying abilities, he wouldn't be able to protect the Lin family under these two forces, unless..."
Mu Hanqi's face turned pale, and she blurted out: "Unless he has an identity that can suppress them, otherwise the Juxing Group will definitely be devoured, and Tian Ai will become... a plaything..."
"That's right, the leader of the Four Golden Flowers, do you really think it's that easy to be?"
Mu Renyi said slowly, knowing these things very well.
Human nature is the most difficult thing to control in this world.
"If the Lin family can't hold on, we can acquire all the shares of the Juxing Group."
Mu Hanqi was shocked and quickly said: "Dad, aren't you taking advantage of someone's misfortune? Besides, Tian Ai is my best friend!"
Mu Renyi sneered: "Silly girl, where is there any friendship between best friends? Everything is built on interests. Moreover, precisely because of the so-called best friend, we can offer the highest price."
"Remember one thing, merchants pursue profit, that is the essence. By the way, tonight's banquet will not only have the Ye family present, but also people from the family alliance. Try to befriend them. Although the Mu Group is not afraid of them, there is no need to make enemies."
"Got it, Dad."
...
Golden Emperor Winery.
This was the venue for tonight's wine party, where guests were either rich or noble.
Since it was not far, they walked there.
As they walked, a hurried horn sound came from behind.
"I say, are you looking for death? Get out of the way quickly!"
A short-haired woman stuck her head out of a red Ferrari, her eyes unfriendly as she cursed.
Ye Longlin looked up slightly. The pedestrian crossing had a green light, and the right-turn lane had a red light, so if it weren't for him, she would have run the red light.
But that had nothing to do with him. He stepped forward and continued walking.
"Bad luck!"
The woman cursed.
"Is Officer Ye spoiling her like this? If I were you, I would definitely pull her out of the car and beat her. She ran a red light."
Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded. Turning back, he saw Mu Hanqi, wearing a black evening gown, getting out of a business car, followed by four bodyguards.
It had to be said that this woman was very spirited, with skin as white as congealed fat, and she was very eye-catching under the escort of the evening gown.
Ye Longlin said indifferently: "If she wants to die, it has nothing to do with me."
Mu Hanqi smiled slightly: "Indeed, this girl has a bad reputation in our circle. Not only is her private life chaotic, but she also hangs out with people who are not of her status all day long, frequenting various nightclubs. We all dislike her."
After speaking, she changed the subject: "Officer Ye, tonight's wine party requires an invitation. I wonder if Officer Ye has an invitation?"
Invitation?
Ye Longlin was stunned and shook his head: "No."
He should properly discipline Yuan Gang for not doing such a simple thing well.
But thinking about it, back in overseas, invitations were never needed. One would just go and kill the opponent, giving them a ticket to hell.
"Hehehe, I knew it. After all, Officer Ye is a person who dislikes trouble. Here you go. Tian Ai might have prepared one for you, or she might not have. I'm just a backup."
Ye Longlin understood what she meant by these words, with the emphasis on the word "backup."
"Ye Longlin, Mu Mu, why are you together?"
A confused voice suddenly came from the side.
Lin Tian Ai, wearing a white evening gown, with the two women's beauty on par, one black and one white, was eye-catching.
"Ye Longlin walked over, and I just happened to meet her here. Aren't you the same?"
Mu Hanqi hooked Lin Tian Ai's arm and continued with a smile, "By the way, Young Master Ye boasted that one invitation can only admit one person. Did you prepare an invitation for Ye Longlin?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian Ai's face stiffened, and she asked with confusion: "I haven't heard of that."
Mu Hanqi smiled slyly and whispered: "Tian Ai, do you really not know, or do you not want your husband to go?"
Lin Tian Ai's face stiffened even more, and she looked at Ye Longlin apologetically: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know about this matter..."
Ye Longlin watched this scene expressionlessly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"I've disappointed you."
He raised the invitation in his hand and walked directly towards the entrance.
Lin Tian Ai looked at the invitation in his hand, her neck stiffly turned to the side, and asked awkwardly: "Mu Mu, did you give him the invitation?"
Mu Hanqi played dumb: "I don't know anything~ Hehe."
"Really, Mu Mu?" Lin Tian Ai looked at her, half-believing, half-doubting.
"Alright, let's go quickly. Tell me if you take a liking to any young talents later, and I'll be your wingman!"
