Lu Zhi sat in his wheelchair and glanced at the exquisite tableware on the table. He had no expression on his face and was not hungry. It was not until he found a small piece of paper under the plate that he narrowed his eyes, turned the wheelchair in his hand, moved to the restaurant, and reached out to pick up the paper.
There was a string of ancient Roman numerals on the note, which looked like they were written randomly at first glance.
But Lu Zhi recognized the handwriting.
Pretty and graceful.
It's Jian Jin's handwriting.
And the string of numbers above was not written randomly, but a Morse code he invented, which can be interpreted into normal text in a special way.
Lu Zhi only glanced at it, and in his mind he had already read the note that Jian Jin had written to him - [Qiao has come to Country M. ]
With just five words, Lu Zhi's expression suddenly changed!
He clenched the paper in his hand, veins popping out on the back of his snow-white hand. He turned around and punched the table, shaking the red wine glass on the table. The veins on his neck bulged, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words: "Damn it!"
The next second, he changed his nonchalant attitude about being 'invited' here these days, picked up the only internal phone in the room, and dialed it.
It took the other end a full ten seconds to pick up the phone.
"Mr. Lu." An old-fashioned voice called him in a low voice.
Lu Zhi held the microphone expressionlessly and said coldly: "I want to go out!"
*
The next day.
Qiao Nian went to a club in Country M according to the address that Jian Jin sent her. The club had winding paths and was decorated in a unique and elegant style. Flowers, birds, and fish could be seen everywhere.
She followed the club waiter's footsteps all the way to the door of the private room that Jian Jin mentioned.
The waiter knocked on the door for her, and then said respectfully: "Dear guest, please wait a moment. I will go first."
"Yeah." Qiao Nian responded, raised his hand to push down his baseball cap, covering half of his face.
As the door of the box opened.
The waiter also left quietly.
Qiao Nian walked in and saw Jian Jin opening the door for him. She even stepped aside to make way for him, not daring to meet her gaze.
In addition to Jian Jin, there were seven or eight other people in the box, and they all seemed to be Tianchen's men in Country M.
When everyone in the box saw an unfamiliar young girl coming in, they all showed alert expressions. A woman with curly ramen hair spoke first: "Assistant Jian, who is she?"
There was also a short and strong middle-aged man who was about to say something but hesitated to complain to Jian Jin: "You know we have important things to discuss today, why did you invite your friends here? Such irrelevant people are not suitable to be here."
Just because Jian Jin is too embarrassed to see Qiao Nian doesn't mean she has to indulge them.
After she closed the door of the box, she turned around and swept her sharp eyes over everyone present. She spoke sharply and mercilessly: "Who told you that she is irrelevant?"
The seven or eight people in the box looked at each other and saw the word "don't know" in each other's eyes.
So the ramen-haired woman who spoke at the beginning looked Qiao Nian up and down with a slightly disdainful look in her eyes: "Mr. Lu's lover?"
The woman let out a light click of her tongue, her eyes focused on Qiao Nian's chest, then she confidently straightened her magnificent chest, her eyes full of mockery: Mr. Lu's lover is not that good, she looks like a little girl who hasn't even grown all her hair yet.
However, Qiao Nian walked straight over as if he didn't hear anything and sat down in the place where Jian Jin had just sat, which was also the main seat in this box.
After she sat down, everyone's expression changed and they looked at her unkindly.
