The grand hall of the reception.
Wan Yunting's appearance also caused many business magnates present to come forward and toast him. Although he was not from the business world, judging by how Master Fu and Kang Hongwen personally came down to welcome him at the previous banquet, it was evident that Wan Yunting had immense influence in the business circle. Furthermore, having just received a special honor medal from the police, becoming a people's anti-drug hero, Wan Yunting was now a renowned figure in Huadu City.
Fang Yanxi, who quietly accompanied the man, watched as so many business magnates vied to toast Wan Yunting. A gentle smile appeared on her pretty face, and she couldn't help but feel proud.
Just then, Wan Yunting's phone chimed. It was a message from Jiang Wenhao, simply stating, "See you in the restroom!"
"Who is it?" Fang Yanxi's beautiful eyes glanced at his phone as she asked.
"Oh, it's Director Jiang. He said to come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department early tomorrow. It's probably about discussing association matters." Wan Yunting didn't dare to say it was Jiang Wenhao. He put his phone back into his pocket, stood up, and smiled at his second brother and Kang Hongwen. "Everyone, please continue drinking. I'm going to the restroom."
"Go ahead." Wan Dongming and Kang Hongwen nodded with smiles. Fang Yanxi also smiled, naturally not thinking anything of it.
Wan Yunting walked directly towards the restroom and immediately saw Jackson, Jiang Wenhao's bodyguard, along with a group of security personnel who had cleared out the restroom. Wan Yunting wondered what the young man wanted with him.
Jackson opened the restroom door, and Wan Yunting entered. He saw Jiang Wenhao leaning against the washbasin with a somber expression. Upon seeing him enter, Jiang Wenhao immediately straightened up. "Teacher, you're here."
"Mm, what did you want with me? And with such a fuss?" Wan Yunting seized the moment to light a cigarette and smoke.
However, Jiang Wenhao's expression was astonished. "Didn't Fang Yanxi tell you?"
Wan Yunting paused, exhaled smoke, and asked curiously, "Tell me what?"
Seeing his completely unaware expression, Jiang Wenhao knew that Fang Yanxi had not told Wan Yunting about Jerry's attempt to drug her.
"I'm sorry, Teacher. I made a mistake!" Jiang Wenhao lowered his head and sighed.
This made Wan Yunting even more puzzled. He smiled, "What exactly happened?"
"It's like this..." Jiang Wenhao then recounted to Wan Yunting everything that had happened, including Jerry's attempt to drug Fang Yanxi at the banquet earlier.
Instantly, Wan Yunting's expression turned grim, and anger surged within him. Previously, Han Yuze had tried to drug Fang Yanxi, and if he hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Moreover, Wan Yunting himself had been framed and imprisoned for seven years due to being drugged by Chen Tao. Therefore, he intensely detested such despicable and shameless drugging behavior.
Now, hearing that a foreigner had tried to drug Fang Yanxi, even though the woman had detected it and cleverly resolved the situation, it still made Wan Yunting's expression turn cold. He said chillingly, "Where is he?"
Jiang Wenhao could clearly feel the icy killing intent emanating from Wan Yunting's eyes, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He couldn't help but tremble and quickly said, "He's in his room upstairs at the hotel. I've already taught him a lesson..."
"Wenhao, you know that I hate that kind of person the most!" Wan Yunting looked coldly at Jiang Wenhao and said, "I don't care who he is to you, but if he dares to set his sights on Yanxi, he deserves to die. You decide what to do."
After speaking, Wan Yunting threw his unsmoked cigarette directly into the washbasin behind Jiang Wenhao and then turned and opened the door to leave.
"I'm sorry, Teacher. I will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter..." Jiang Wenhao said quickly, lowering his head.
Wan Yunting glanced back at him coldly, closed the door heavily, and headed back to the reception hall. Jiang Wenhao was left standing by the washbasin, knowing that Wan Yunting was very angry, and he was also very angry. He regretted inviting that scoundrel Jerry, otherwise, this incident would never have happened. Finally, Jiang Wenhao walked out of the restroom and said coldly to his bodyguard Jackson, "Arrange a plane to send Jerry back to the United States, in a body bag!"
"Yes, Boss." Jackson nodded and immediately turned to handle it. Standing at the restroom entrance, Jiang Wenhao finally sighed, already thinking about how to apologize to his teacher and Fang Yanxi for forgiveness.
As Wan Yunting exited the restroom and was heading towards Fang Yanxi and his second brother, he was met by an elegant figure, none other than Ruan Xingwen, dressed in a long black lace evening gown. Her long hair was pulled up, revealing her fair and charming neck. She wore an exquisite necklace and beautiful pendants on her earlobes, showcasing her noble demeanor. The black lace evening gown featured a semi-transparent lace veil at the neckline, subtly revealing her alluring cleavage. The fitted design accentuated Ruan Xingwen's voluptuous waist. The hem of the evening gown split, and with her elegant steps, a glimpse of her fair and straight, captivating legs could be seen. Paired with black high heels, she appeared noble and elegant.
"Teacher Wan, why are you here too?" Ruan Xingwen approached with a charming smile. In fact, she had seen Wan Yunting from afar earlier, but with Fang Yanxi and the others present, she didn't feel it was appropriate to approach, to avoid any misunderstandings. Therefore, Ruan Xingwen had been paying attention to him, and only when Wan Yunting went to the restroom did she come to intercept him.
"Hello, President Ruan. I'm just here to take a look and have a drink." Wan Yunting looked at Ruan Xingwen, elegantly and gracefully dressed. Her voluptuous figure, though not as slender as some slim beauties, still possessed a charming allure even after having a child.
Ruan Xingwen slightly covered her mouth, displaying a gentle and charming smile. Her phoenix eyes gazed at Wan Yunting and she chuckled, "Teacher Wan, you're truly joking. Getting a drink is not difficult. Why would you need to come to such a reception? I presume you're here for someone specific!"
Wan Yunting, whose thoughts were seen through, chuckled and said, "Then, shall I have a drink with President Ruan?"
"I couldn't wish for anything more." Ruan Xingwen smiled. Seeing a waiter carrying a tray of drinks, she called out, took two glasses, handed one to Wan Yunting, and said with a smile, "I apologize for the trouble I caused you regarding the previous matter. I offer this drink as my apology."
Seeing Ruan Xingwen finish her drink in one gulp after speaking, Wan Yunting smiled and drank his as well. He chuckled, "Alright, President Ruan. I don't care about that kind of sensational news, so please don't mind it."
Ruan Xingwen gently shook her head and smiled, "Regardless, it was I who caused you trouble, so I must apologize. If there's an opportunity, I'd still like to invite you to my home for a meal to make amends."
Wan Yunting paused and smiled, "That's really not necessary. I'm afraid if I visit your home again, it might cause another misunderstanding."
"It won't happen again." Ruan Xingwen smiled, "I guarantee that the previous incident won't recur and affect you!"
"Alright then." Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "But I'm quite busy lately. We'll schedule a meal when I have some free time."
"Okay, then I won't keep you any longer." Ruan Xingwen nodded with a smile, feeling very happy. She knew that Wan Yunting would attend the reception tonight, most likely because of Fang Yanxi. But she didn't mind this at all, as her goal for tonight had already been achieved.
"Mm, have a good time, President Ruan." Wan Yunting smiled, waved goodbye to Ruan Xingwen, and headed back towards Fang Yanxi and his second brother. Watching the man's retreating figure, Ruan Xingwen revealed a gentle smile. She didn't expect the man to give her anything; she only hoped for some comfort for her heart.
