Chapter 60: Chapter 60 International Intelligence Center

”Actually, our families arranged for all of our memberships. You know, Ye Xiu, for large families to maintain their prosperity—let alone advance further—intelligence is key,” Zhu Xiaowen said slyly.

Ye Xiu was certainly aware of this. If two companies were competing and one of them bought the other’s intelligence from Ming Feng Tower, it was guaranteed to win.

”Let’s not talk about that for now. We need to figure out a way to get Ye Xiu into Ming Feng Tower,” Yun Lan said, worried.

Zhu Xiaowen’s delicate brows furrowed. ”Actually, Ming Feng Tower has a rule that members of the same family can use a single membership to enter. Ye Xiu could pretend to be my distant relative.”

Yun Lan’s eyes lit up. ”That could work! Not many people know Ye Xiu right now, and those who do wouldn’t dare expose him.”

”That settles it!” Zhu Xiaowen declared. ”Yun Lan, you drive ahead and lead the way. I’ll ride in Ye Xiu’s car.”

Yun Lan immediately protested, ”Why should you get to ride in Ye Xiu’s car? You lead the way, I’m riding with Ye Xiu.”

”It was my idea. First come, first served, right?” Zhu Xiaowen clung tightly to Ye Xiu’s arm.

”I don’t care! I want to ride in Ye Xiu’s car too,” Yun Lan said, grabbing his other arm.

Ye Xiu was speechless.

Heh. How did I become such a hot commodity?

He suggested timidly, ”Why don’t you two find a place to park your cars, and I’ll drive both of you?”

”That works!” Yun Lan and Zhu Xiaowen exclaimed in unison.

So, the two women found a place to park their cars. Afterward, Zhu Xiaowen and Yun Lan dragged Ye Xiu to a shopping mall and bought him a set of designer clothes. Since he was attending a high-end party and posing as Zhu Xiaowen’s relative, he had to look the part.

When the three of them arrived at Ming Feng Tower, it was nearly eight o’clock at night.

After getting out of the car, Zhu Xiaowen and Yun Lan looped their arms through his, one on each side.

This left Ye Xiu speechless. ”You two are going to give people the wrong idea.”

”It’s not like Yun Lan and I have good reputations to begin with,” Zhu Xiaowen shrugged.

”But I care about mine,” Ye Xiu said with a wry smile. ”What if people think I’m dating both of you?”

He was mainly afraid of Qin Qing seeing this. There was already one misunderstanding that hadn’t been cleared up, and now two more had just appeared.

”Oh, stop worrying about it, Ye Xiu. The party has already started, let’s go,” Zhu Xiaowen urged.

”Alright,” Ye Xiu sighed, knowing it was useless to argue. He resigned himself to his fate.

Just then, Ye Xiu’s eyes sharpened, and his entire body tensed instantly.

Killing intent! Such astonishing killing intent!

”What’s wrong, Ye Xiu?” Zhu Xiaowen asked quickly, feeling his arm suddenly go rigid.

”It’s nothing. This is my first time at such a high-end party, so I’m a little nervous,” Ye Xiu said with a smile, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

Although it was dark, his vision was unaffected. Soon, he spotted a familiar figure about a hundred meters to his right.

The Blood Demon.

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment.

I didn’t expect him to get here so fast, or to guess that I’d be at Ming Feng Tower tonight. Interesting!

”Don’t be nervous. Everyone at the party tonight is young. Don’t be fooled by their lofty airs; they’re all trash,” Zhu Xiaowen consoled.

”The two young masters of the Zuo Family don’t get along,” Yun Lan also comforted him. ”Because of that, people have to choose sides, so not many will attend Luo Qiwei’s party. Even the ones who do show up are mostly here for the spectacle, like me and Xiaowen.”

Ye Xiu smiled without a word, his focus entirely on the distant Blood Demon. Judging by the killing intent radiating from the man, it was clear he had murder on his mind. He must have actually believed in that so-called ’method to counter him.’

”Ye Xiu, look! The man standing at the entrance is Luo Qiwei,” Zhu Xiaowen said, pointing. ”Huh, there’s a beautiful woman walking toward him. She looks so familiar.”

Ye Xiu looked over and indeed saw Luo Qiwei standing at the doorway. And the beautiful woman walking toward him was none other than Qin Qing.

Tonight, Qin Qing wore exquisite makeup and a black evening gown that made her look beautiful, elegant, and noble.

Luo Qiwei smiled as he approached her. ”Qin Qing, I haven’t seen you in two years. You’ve gotten even more beautiful.”

”You’re too kind, Mr. Luo,” Qin Qing replied calmly. Her face was expressionless, and her tone was flat, as if she had reverted to the person she was before Ye Xiu’s return. This was the image Qin Qing presented to the world: an ice queen. The lively, passionate, and playful Qin Qing of ten years ago had long been forgotten.

”I set the party at Ming Feng Tower, but I forgot it requires a membership to get in,” Luo Qiwei said apologetically. ”So, how about this? Just say you’re my fiancée for tonight. That way, you can come and go as you please.”

Fiancée?

Qin Qing was stunned for a second before she saw through his little trick. He wanted to leverage the exclusivity of Ming Feng Tower. By having her enter as his fiancée, he could ensure everyone at the party would know she was his fiancée.

This was his roundabout way of confessing and proposing!

She was just about to refuse when she suddenly saw Ye Xiu walking over with two beautiful women hanging off his arms. She was livid.

”You!”

Luo Qiwei also saw Ye Xiu and was instantly infuriated. He snarled, ”What are you doing here? Is Ming Feng Tower a place for a lowlife like you?”

His words stunned Qin Qing, Zhu Xiaowen, and Yun Lan.

Zhu Xiaowen and Yun Lan were shocked that Ye Xiu knew Luo Qiwei, and it seemed there was some bad blood between them. This spelled trouble. Trying to get Ye Xiu into Ming Feng Pavilion by pretending he was a distant relative would be much harder now!

And Qin Qing realized something unpleasant must have happened when she’d sent Ye Xiu to pick up Luo Qiwei from the airport. She started to ask, ”Mr. Luo, you two...”

”Qin Qing, I don’t mean to overstep, but how can you employ a driver with such poor manners and professional ethics?” Luo Qiwei interrupted. ”I suggest you fire him immediately. If you can’t find a good replacement, I can help you.”

Yun Lan and Zhu Xiaowen almost burst out laughing.

Driver?

They’d thought Luo Qiwei knew Ye Xiu, but it turned out he had mistaken him for a driver. The man must be blind! Does Ye Xiu look anything like a driver? Are there any drivers this handsome? Huh?

Qin Qing was also speechless. So, Luo Qiwei thought Ye Xiu was her driver. Now she understood the source of their conflict. She inwardly cursed Luo Qiwei for being so blind. He had just offended the most formidable man in all of Jin Ye City.

She said, ”Mr. Luo, you’re mistaken. He isn’t my driver.”

”Huh?” Luo Qiwei was taken aback and instantly embarrassed. He asked, ”Then... who is he?”

”He’s Zhu Xiaowen’s cousin,” Yun Lan blurted out before Qin Qing could answer.
