Chapter 603: 234 Fermentation, Top Secret (First Update)_1

“Here?” Xiaojie expressed surprise but still pulled over to stop.

Ji Shaojun got out of the car and thanked Xiaojie, “You can go back, no need to wait for me.”

He wasn’t used to wearing formal attire and also took off his suit jacket, loosened his tie, and walked toward the gate wearing only his shirt.

Ji Shaojun had been to Jiang University with Shen Qing before. At the time, it was the office of school affairs that had personally made the call. It had only been a little over two months, and although the security guard felt Ji Shaojun’s temperament had changed somewhat, he still recognized him.

“It’s you,” he said, giving Ji Shaojun the green light to go in.

“Thank you,” Ji Shaojun was about to send a message to Bai Lian, but when he saw the security guard open the school gate, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and offered it to him, “I’m here to see my niece.”

...

He explained the reason to the guard, said a few words, and then went inside.

Bai Lian had said she was at the Statue Plaza, so Ji Shaojun went straight there to find them.

Xiaojie drove away, and in the rearview mirror, he saw Ji Shaojun chatting happily with the security guard and then handing the guard at Jiang University a cigarette before going in?

Since when was Ji Shaojun so close to the guards at Jiang University?

Meanwhile, at Yonghui Garden.

The venue for the Xu Family dinner.

Not just anyone could go to 29 Talls Street; those who could deliver gifts to the Xu Family in person today had at least some political and business dealings with them.

Many others only received the address for Yonghui Garden.

A middle-aged man was greeting Mrs. Xu and several others.

“Wenyao,” Mrs. Xu said with a smile, introducing him to Xu Wenyao, “you can just call him Second Uncle.”

Xu Zhengfei looked at Xu Wenyao and nodded slightly, his tone friendly, “Wenyao, right? I heard from your grandmother you’re applying for postgraduate studies, not bad.”

He spoke a couple of words with Xu Wenyao, then looked towards Mrs. Xu’s back, “Didn’t you say that both kids in the family did well on the exams? One of them is this year’s top scholar?”

Xu En took another look at Mrs. Xu when he heard her mention Bai Lian.

“Well…” Mrs. Xu sighed, “The children have encountered some troubles recently.”

Xu Zhiyue had been discharged from the hospital two days earlier. Xu En had arranged for her to see a psychologist, and although this was an occasion Mrs. Xu would have wanted her to attend, there were too many people, so Xu En did not let Xu Zhiyue come.

“I see, let’s go inside,” Xu Zhengfei was a bit disappointed.

Xu Zhengfei led the Xu Family group into Yonghui Garden.

Ji Mulan clutched Xu En’s hand nervously as she recognized several of the passersby who she had seen in the news.

Yonghui Garden was vast; after crossing nearly two hundred meters of the avenue, one could see the resplendent banquet hall ahead, with a large artificial lake nearby.

There was a pavilion in the center of the artificial lake with lights glowing inside.

As Ji Mulan approached, she saw a black motorbike parked in front of the banquet hall doors, its streamlined model with a helmet hanging on the left side, reflecting a cold gleam under the lights, like a fierce beast lying at the entrance.

Xu Zhengfei, seeing Ji Mulan and her group looking at the motorbike, whispered, “That should be the Third Young Master’s ride.”

Everyone familiar with Xu Nanjing knew of the Third Young Master’s fondness for bikes.

“The Third Young Master?” Xu En and Xu Wenyao, uninterested in the motorbike, took a closer look when they heard it belonged to the Third Young Master of the Xu Family.

“Besides him, who else would dare to park their motorbike here?” Xu Zhengfei also gazed at the vehicle.

He took Xu Wenyao and Xu En inside. Many had already arrived in the resting area, most of the familiar faces sitting together talking, and they would nod in friendly recognition when they met others.

At a grand feast like today’s, anyone who could gain access was no ordinary person.

Xu Zhengfei led Xu En’s group to the second floor, respectfully knocked on the first door, and bowed slightly, “Uncle Lin.”

The door was opened from the inside, and Uncle Lin, dressed in a black robe, scanned Xu En’s group, “The kid you talked about didn’t come?”

“She’s not in a good state,” Xu Zhengfei answered with his head lowered.

Uncle Lin nodded slightly, didn’t ask further, just reminded Xu Zhengfei, “The old man is upstairs on the third floor with some important guests. Don’t go up.”

After paying respects to Uncle Lin, Xu Zhengfei went back down.

The Xu Family group had no chance to talk and only glanced at the stairs to the third floor as they left.

There were a bunch of people guarding the stairway entrance.

On the third floor, in the lounge.

Inside the thick, heavy door.

When Elder Chen entered, the Xu Family’s direct lineage was already present.

Old Master Xu was shaking hands with Chen Family’s patriarch, Chen Xiao, “Elder Chen, with your health not being the best, we really appreciate you making the trip here.”

With a low cough, Chen Xiao responded, “For such a festive occasion, it’s necessary for me to come.”

Xu Jueling and Xu Jueming also stood up to greet Elder Chen.
