Jiang Nuan watched the figures of the two people emerge and quickly hid. Li He, that old fox, chose the balcony for his tryst.
Besides the two bodyguards, no one else would discover them.
What an old fox!
Jiang Nuan's clear, cold eyes were filled with frost.
The harvest tonight was great. Watching Li He and the others enter the venue one after another, maintaining their polite demeanor, who would ever suspect the sordid deeds they had just committed behind the scenes.
As Jiang Nuan returned to the banquet hall, she received a message from her companion: "[J, I have something, leaving early. Li He is too cunning. For Lu Qiaoyi's case, someone confessed. He surrendered himself, claiming he was the real killer of Liu Fei and her son!]"
"[It was a crime of passion! He liked Liu Fei and knew her. This person has a criminal record.]"
Jiang Nuan clenched her fists. The person behind Lu Qiaoyi was not simple.
She glanced around the banquet hall, not seeing Mu Jiuchen or Lu Qiaoyi.
However, her mother was chatting with Yu Meng.
She took a plate of fruit and two chicken legs from the food area and sat at a table behind Yu Meng and the others.
She saw her mother looking around, likely searching for her. She had forgotten to tell her that her plan had changed.
She took out her phone and sent her a message.
"[Plan changed, I'm not coming over. Have a great time.]"
Immediately after, she heard Jin Yan's phone ring.
Jin Yan looked down. The slightly nervous expression on her face relaxed considerably.
"Yanyan, do you want to eat shrimp? These shrimp are excellent," Yu Meng asked, looking at Jin Yan.
Jin Yan shook her head slightly. "No, thank you. I'm full. By the way, you sent Yiyi upstairs earlier, was there something?"
Yu Meng's eyes flickered. She looked at Jin Yan and shook her head slightly. "It's nothing. Isn't Yumeng upstairs? I asked her to go find Yumeng to play."
"Oh!" Jin Yan nodded and didn't say anything else, picking up a fruit fork to eat fruit.
Upstairs, in the room, Mu Jiuchen looked at Lu Qiaoyi, who was struggling on the floor. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and her face was as red as a cooked shrimp.
Mu Jiuchen's gaze was sharp and piercing, like a cold, sharp sword, making it impossible to look directly at him.
He sneered at Lu Qiaoyi, "Lu Qiaoyi, you have no shame. No matter the occasion, you always think of climbing into a man's bed. Since you want it so badly, I'll have someone properly attend to you later."
Lu Qiaoyi bit her lip and looked at him tearfully, "Ninth Master, I really don't know what happened! It wasn't me, please, let me go."
Her body felt hot and uncomfortable. Looking at Mu Jiuchen's robust physique, she only wanted to be in his arms and be comforted by him.
She wished all of this was a dream.
She had never entered this room before.
This Mu Jiuchen was too terrifying.
She clearly watched him drink the wine, so why did she end up being the one affected by the drug?!
"You don't know?" Mu Jiuchen narrowed his eyes. "Then you must know that you drugged the wine you gave me. That drugged wine eventually returned to your hands. It was just a matter of you turning around. Do you think you can scheme against me with such tactics?"
His cold, heartless tone was laced with intense mockery.
"With your looks, you think you can seduce me? Go get a mirror and look at yourself. What kind of appearance do you have? Disgusting!"
Mu Jiuchen looked disgusted and stood up, walking out. Shortly after, a drunk man stumbled in.
Mu Jiuchen was still troubled by finding someone when he saw the man stagger in.
Mu Jiuchen: "..." You went in yourself, it has nothing to do with me.
Jiang Nuan went upstairs to find Mu Jiuchen. As she was halfway up the stairs, she saw a pair of sturdy, straight legs slowly descending.
Their eyes met. Mu Jiuchen curved his lips into a gentle smile. "Darling, are you done? If you are, we can go home."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
After Mu Jiuchen spoke, his phone rang.
Seeing his daughter's video call, he gasped.
Looking at Jiang Nuan, Jiang Nuan also realized something.
"It's fine, they'll take care of themselves."
Mu Jiuchen was not at ease and answered the video call.
"Yun Bao."
"Dad, is Mom with you? Why don't I see Mom? She's not answering her phone either." Jiang Siyun's big eyes were red, and her fair, tender little face was full of dissatisfaction.
Mu Jiuchen looked at his little princess's adorable appearance, then at her displeased and wronged little face, and his heart ached.
"Yun Bao, I'll send someone to pick you up. You go to Grandpa's house. Your Mom and I have business in Modu."
"Hmph! Mom and Dad are so mean. We'll go to Grandpa's house on Sunday. We have something tomorrow, training."
Mu Jiuchen looked at his daughter's angry little face. "I'm sorry, Yun Bao, Dad will bring you back gifts."
Jiang Siyun understood that her parents were busy, but even when busy, they should remember that they were supposed to go home on the weekend!
"Hanging up now. No need for gifts. What we need is your company. Aunt Xia is taking care of us, so you don't need to worry. We can take care of ourselves."
Jiang Siyun hung up unhappily.
Jiang Nuan touched her nose.
"Ah... Ah, help! Help... Save me, Mom, save me."
Screams of agony came from upstairs.
Yu Meng and Jin Yan both heard Lu Qiaoyi's voice.
The two were greatly surprised and quickly ran upstairs.
The people present also wanted to watch the excitement, and they walked upstairs one by one.
Yu Meng saw Mu Jiuchen on the stairs, and her face changed dramatically.
At this time, shouldn't Mu Jiuchen be in the room with Yiyi?
She had held back Jin Yan precisely to prevent anyone from disturbing them.
Lu Qiaoyi was rolling on the floor, her clothes disheveled. The drunk man was on top of her, moving up and down, a scene too unbearable to watch.
Mu Jiuchen: "..." This scene was more lively than expected.
Hmph! You brought this upon yourself!
Jiang Nuan glanced at Mu Jiuchen. Seeing a dark, sinister smile flash in his eyes, she knew this matter had something to do with him.
Everyone was stunned. "Isn't that Miss Lu from the Lu family? How could she do something so shameless?"
"Last time, I heard she bribed someone to try and kill someone. This time, doing such a sordid thing in front of so many people, she's truly a white lotus."
Everyone was in an uproar!
Li He suddenly appeared, and the man was thrown downstairs directly by Li He, instantly losing consciousness.
Lu Qiaoyi also fainted. Everyone rushed to send Lu Qiaoyi to the hospital.
As Li He passed by Mu Jiuchen, his gaze was sinister and filled with killing intent.
Mu Jiuchen calmly accepted his gaze and returned a cold smile.
The banquet ended.
When Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan got into the car, Chen Feng looked at the young lady again, surprised, and asked Mu Jiuchen, "Sir! Where to?"
Mu Jiuchen's dark eyes looked at him deeply. "To Di Hua."
"Uh!" Chen Feng's worldview was refreshed by his own sir.
Was he going to take this beautiful young lady to a hotel?
"What are you doing? Drive!"
Mu Jiuchen's cold voice came from behind.
Chen Feng was startled. He was truly courting death.
What right did he have to challenge the wrath of the Ninth Master?
Chen Feng immediately started driving.
"Chen Feng, slow down, there's a car coming from ahead," Jiang Nuan reminded him.
Chen Feng was startled. "Miss, that voice sounds so familiar!"
