"Who?"
Lin Xiaotian frowned, quickly ran to the window, and looked out of the villa.
But by the time he reached the window, the person outside had already disappeared.
He quickly returned to the adjacent room. When he opened the wardrobe, he found that the jade bottle had been stolen!
"This is bad, that person just now must be connected to the murderer."
Lin Xiaotian slapped his thigh, realizing he had been tricked!
When he came out, Shi Kangyi and Ah Biao were already helping Shi Yingqian into the car.
After he also got in, he told Shi Kangyi what had happened. Shi Kangyi's heart trembled, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "The murderer was hiding in the villa? It seems that the murderer has been watching my sister for the ten years she was controlled."
"Ah Biao, go and investigate this person quickly. No matter what, bring me back any clues about this person."
"Yes, Director Shi."
Ah Biao responded decisively and immediately got out of the car, not following Shi Kangyi home.
Lin Xiaotian was not too involved in this matter, so he naturally didn't worry too much. He rode in the car with them back to Songzhou City.
As they were about to arrive at the entrance of Chu's Group, Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Boss Shi, you can drop me off here. My wife's company is here."
"After you take your sister back, if she remembers anything, you can contact me anytime. I will do my best to help you with anything I can."
"Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll remember."
Shi Kangyi nodded, immediately told the driver to stop, and then watched Lin Xiaotian walk into Chu's Group.
He looked up at the sign of Chu's Group and nodded thoughtfully. "So, Mr. Lin's wife is the CEO of Chu's Group, Ms. Chu. I must take better care of the Chu family in the future."
"Director Shi, as far as I know, you seemed to have discussed cooperation with someone from the Chu family before, but not here."
As the driver drove, he suddenly turned to look at Shi Kangyi and said.
"Oh? Not here?"
Shi Kangyi frowned. He usually negotiated so many collaborations that he couldn't recall his dealings with the Chu family for a moment.
After the driver's reminder, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I remember. When I was negotiating business with the Chu family, a man came, I think his name was Chu Xiongfei?"
"This person must have some connection to Chu's Group. I must investigate him thoroughly when I get back."
After speaking, he told the driver to take him home first.
Lin Xiaotian leisurely returned to Chu's Group. As soon as he entered, he saw a large group of reception staff gathered and discussing. He coughed twice and walked over curiously to ask, "Ladies, what are you discussing here?"
"Don't tell me you're praising me again, saying I'm handsome? Or did someone dream of me last night and want to be intimate with me?"
"Mr. Lin, you always tease us. You have such a beautiful wife, how could you possibly fancy us?"
The lobby manager glanced at Lin Xiaotian playfully. She leaned closer to Lin Xiaotian and whispered, "Mr. Lin, you're in luck today. Hurry upstairs and see what CEO Chu is wearing. She's dressed in a way that you'll really like today."
"Really? What kind of unusual attire could my wife wear?"
Lin Xiaotian, seeing her mysterious gaze, became curious.
After joking with a group of beauties, he took the elevator upstairs alone to find her in Chu Nianxue's office.
The moment he pushed open the office door, a fragrant scent wafted towards him.
Lin Xiaotian looked closely and saw Chu Nianxue wearing a professional little black dress, and her makeup was like a fairy descending to earth, with a light pink foundation that made her look exceptionally ethereal.
Instantly, Lin Xiaotian was captivated. He followed the scent, inching closer, and sniffed her for a long time, murmuring, "Wife, did you dress up specifically for me? You're so beautiful."
"Get lost, stop being so narcissistic."
Chu Nianxue glanced at him, and after a few seconds, said, "I'm dressing up to meet a client tonight. Do you remember what I told you during the day? I asked you to come with me to meet a client tonight."
"This client can provide great help for the future development of our Chu's Group."
"Oh, how much help can he provide? Is it more than I can? You've never dressed up like this to see me, but today you're dressing up for this person. Wife, are you having second thoughts and planning to betray me?"
Lin Xiaotian's eyes widened, and he glared at her in a wronged manner, questioning her.
Chu Nianxue angrily put her hands on her hips and said sternly, "In your eyes, am I that kind of woman? Don't worry, my meeting with that client is just a normal negotiation. I'm dressed like this because the location of the negotiation is different."
"Normally we negotiate in the office, but today it's a cocktail party. I can't wear formal attire, can I? Look at what I'm wearing, can I shine at the party?"
Chu Nianxue deliberately showed off her attire to Lin Xiaotian. Lin Xiaotian, with great swagger, sat in her chair and opened his arms, saying, "Wife, sit on my lap and let me take a good look, and I'll tell you."
"Get lost, I know what you're up to."
Chu Nianxue's face flushed with embarrassment. She glanced at him sideways and, seeing the time, said directly, "It's almost time. Hurry up and get ready, and come with me to the cocktail party. Tonight, we must secure this client no matter what."
"He is a master in the antique innovation industry. As long as he is willing to help us create a chain brand and become a professional partner, our business will surely flourish in the future."
"So that's how it is. Is the person you found reliable, wife? Don't get conned again."
Lin Xiaotian responded dismissively. Just as he was about to stretch, Chu Nianxue grabbed his ear and ordered him angrily, "Just come with me, stop talking so much."
"Tonight I'll need you to help me fend off drinks. I've never been to a cocktail party before, you should have more experience than me."
Chu Nianxue pulled him along and they left the office, got into the car, and headed for the cocktail party.
Lin Xiaotian was speechless. If she lacked experience at drinking parties, did he have any?
Although he could drink endlessly, the wine he drank was all pure grain brewed fine wine. He couldn't get used to those colorful foreign liquors at cocktail parties.
However, he thought that if he got drunk, it would be better than his wife getting drunk. Helping his wife share her burdens was his responsibility.
So, without any complaints, he readily accompanied Chu Nianxue to the cocktail party.
Half an hour later, Chu Nianxue's car stopped at the entrance of the Kowloon Grand Hotel.
The venue for tonight's cocktail party was set up here.
After getting out of the car, Chu Nianxue looked at the magnificent decorations around the hotel with a hint of joy on her face and led Lin Xiaotian inside.
"Hello, Miss Chu. Mr. Jiang said that only you can enter tonight. No one else is allowed."
As they reached the entrance, they were stopped by a security guard who stated this directly.
