Chapter 604: 234 Fermentation, Top Secret (First Update)_2

“Lately, Nanjing and Beixuan seem to be up to something,” Xu Lao, dressed in a Tang suit and holding a white jade teacup, remarked as he looked at Xu Nanjing sitting idly by his side, peeling sunflower seeds with evident boredom. “There’s been quite a commotion.”

All the clubs in Yunxiao District were shut down for comprehensive reforms, and a large batch of people from the agency had been replaced, from the top down.

It wasn’t just online speculation; the commotion was so great that even Xu Lao was aware of it.

Chen Xiao chuckled, “Nanjing is doing quite well.”

Whenever Xu Nanjing was mentioned, Xu Lao couldn’t hide his satisfaction, “Indeed, his abilities surpass those of his father.”

As the two of them chatted, Xu Jueming, seated below, showed minute changes in his expression.

...

The weighty door to the resting room was flung open, “Old Master, Young Master Jiang has arrived.”

At those words, the room fell into an instant hush; Xu Nanjing hurriedly stood up and looked towards the door, as Xu Lao and Chen Xiao also set down their cups and stood.

Xu Jueming glanced at his son and daughter, his expression turning even grimmer.

He knew that Xu Nanjing had a good relationship with Jiang Fulai, but he hadn’t expected Jiang Fulai to actually come.

Outside the door, several figures slowly walked in.

The man in the lead wore a white shirt, a silk striped tie, and a black suit that was rarely seen outside, which made his face appear even more cold and his gaze icy.

“Mr. Xu, Mr. Chen, sorry for my late arrival.”

Jiang Fulai looked back and Ming Dongheng stepped forward two paces, handing a gift to Xu Lao.

“You’ve arrived at the perfect time, Young Master Jiang,” Xu Lao said with a smile, his face creased with pleasure.

Not until Jiang Fulai had taken a seat next to Xu Lao did the others gradually take their seats.

Xu Jueming approached Jiang Fulai with Xu Jinyi and Xu Jin to greet him, “Young Master Jiang.”

Jiang Fulai’s eyes slightly lifted as he nodded faintly, pride mingled with his chilly demeanor.

Today was Xu Lao’s birthday celebration, and the conversation revolved around light-hearted topics.

Jiang Fulai did not join in, simply picking up the teacup by his side, lowing his gaze and gently blowing on it. His appearance was cold and distant, capable of chilling you from several meters away, deterring anyone from asking him anything.

The noise in the resting room had quieted down considerably from before.

A few minutes later, Jiang Fulai’s phone chimed. He took it out and looked down.

It was a message from Bai Lian.

She was eating in the canteen with Ji Shaojun, Yang Lin, and others, and sent him a screenshot of a bank balance—

[999662.9]

Jiang Fulai disregarded the account, his slender fingertips tapping on the phone’s screen, and directly replied: [Is Uncle Ji still there?]

His expression seemed noticeably softer.

After sitting for a few more minutes, he gripped the phone.

He stood up and politely said his goodbyes to the Xu family members.

Xu Lao hadn’t expected him to leave so hastily, but in the end, he didn’t question him, assuming that Jiang Fulai, being a workaholic, must be returning to his lab.

They took a private elevator from the third floor to another exit, passing only through areas with security.

Once Jiang Fulai had left, Xu Jueling remembered the earlier discussion and turned to look at Xu Nanjing, “What exactly is going on in Yunxiao District?”

“I’m not too sure myself,” Xu Nanjing was actually puzzled as well. Given that Bai Lian was involved, he knew that Jiang Fulai wouldn’t let Yu Hongjing and the others get away easily.

Xu Nanjing anticipated that the situation would be serious.

But he had not expected it to be this severe, with a whole new batch of people in Yunxiao District replaced from top to bottom?

Had things escalated to this level of severity?

**

Not far away, Xu Jueming and his party came to a stop at the elevator entrance.

Someone respectfully addressed Xu Jinyi, “Miss, Miss Chen has arrived.”

“Jinyi,” Xu Jueming turned his head to glance at his daughter and then returned to his senses, “Which Miss Chen?”

In Jiangjing’s circle of well-known ladies, Xu Jinyi was considered the leader, the only girl among the several major families in the area.

Xu Jinyi looked at the closing elevator doors, “Chen Beixuan. Recently, Yu Hongyi’s family got her into trouble. I don’t know the situation, but they begged me to arrange a meeting with Miss Beixuan.”

Because of Chen Luping’s connections, Xu Jueming also knew of Yu Hongyi.

Upon hearing this, he said no more.

Xu Jinyi then turned around and went downstairs.

On the second floor, Yu Hongyi, no longer as haughty as before, stood at the top of the stairs waiting for her. Upon seeing Xu Jinyi, she managed to speak, “Miss.”

By Yu Hongyi’s side, Chen Luping, too, showed a dispirited face as he greeted Xu Jinyi.

Yu Hongyi wasn’t directly involved in the club incidents.

However, she was also under investigation, officially cooperating with the probe, with all of her work effectively on hold.

Xu Jinyi was well-connected and could get a foothold in any circle.

Chen Beixuan was in the lounge at the end of the corridor, door wide open.

Even in today’s context, she was still dressed sharply, one hand crossed over her chest.

Her gaze swept past Yu Hongyi and slightly nodded toward Xu Jinyi.

Xu Jinyi did not intrude on their conversation.

“Miss Beixuan,” Chen Beixuan was not Ming Dongheng, she had been on countless battlefields and the fierce aura about her was real. Yu Hongyi, under pressure, spoke up, “I know my brother has offended someone he shouldn’t have, but is the demanded penalty not too severe?”

Her words implied that she thought the Chen Family and Jiang Family were deeply involved in her current predicament.

By Yu Hongyi’s side, Chen Luping also followed with a nod, “This matter, if it gets out, won’t reflect well on that Miss Bai either…”

Chen Luping had heard of Bai Lian, a newcomer from Beicheng.

The Jiang Family was also mediating in this matter.

As the two mentioned these points, Chen Beixuan lowered her crossed arms, hands in pockets, eyeing them, “Do you think that the situation has escalated to this point solely because of the Jiang Family or the Chen Family?”

Yu Hongyi and Chen Luping bowed their heads and remained silent, implying agreement.

Xu En and his group didn’t have much pedigree.

And since Bai Lian was from Beicheng and there were no records of them in Jiangjing, who else could be responsible if not the Jiang and Chen Families?

“At this stage, neither the Chen Family nor the Jiang Family are able to interfere,” Chen Beixuan looked at the pair, “The ones now in charge of the situation belong to the CLA. Ordinary people might not be aware, but the two of you should know, right? The fact that the CLA hasn’t conducted a thorough investigation into three generations of the Yu Family ancestry is already giving face to my grandfather.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing those three letters uttered by Chen Beixuan, Chen Luping and Yu Hongyi’s expressions drastically changed.

CLA, the country’s special agency, the highest level of classified institution.
