Chapter 184, Xuan Receives the Order
"That Luo Hong! He actually tricked me. Don't let me see him again, or I'll rip his beard off!" Bai Li cracked her knuckles, her words fierce.
No wonder he hesitated and wouldn't reveal his purpose, only urging them to hurry up because something big was about to happen. So that's what he was waiting for them here!
That cunning old man!
Luo Hong, who was humming a tune while taking a shower, sneezed, and felt a chill run down his back.
……
At 7:00 AM sharp, W International.
Yun Yao looked at the three people in front of her with their heads down, and tapped the table with her fingers.
"Do you dare to be any later?"
The three remained silent, deeply aware of their sins and unwilling to disrespect Yun Yao's dignity.
Yun Yao was furious at their behavior and waved her hand helplessly.
"Alright, hurry up. I need you to find out the distribution of all the forces and the situation in the capital overnight," Yun Yao said in a low voice.
Upon hearing that clear and pleasant female voice, Bai Li quietly raised her eyes.
The first thing you see is a beautiful woman in a black suit, with a cold and aloof expression, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and impeccable features.
"So...so beautiful."
Fu Cheng turned his head and saw Bai Li's infatuated look. He glared at her with exasperation and said in a low voice, "Bai Li, you're practically drooling!"
Seeing Fu Cheng's anger, Bai Li reluctantly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and pouted.
"I've never seen anyone prettier than our ancestor! Why are you being so fierce!" Her little expression was incredibly aggrieved.
Yun Yao pinched her brow in annoyance, her sharp and cold gaze sweeping over them.
"If the Fourth Xuan is not up to the task, you can all head back now," Yun Yao said sternly, unleashing her full pressure upon them.
The three of them finally quieted down. Fu Cheng took the lead, placing his palms together on his head and bowing gently.
"Fourth Xuan, obey the order."
They're usually so unruly, but now they're behaving themselves. Yun Yao nodded slightly and watched them leave with a cold eye.
The three people in the corridor looked very serious.
"Boss, do you think she is?" Bai Li asked in a low voice.
Fu Cheng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and gestured to them to lower their voices.
"It's almost the same."
The overwhelming pressure that had just overwhelmed them, leaving them breathless, was not something that could be faked by just anyone.
“Fu Cheng, I always thought our ancestor was an old lady in her seventies or eighties. I didn’t expect her to be so young.” Ni Du’s expression darkened slightly, and there was still an unresolved question in his eyes.
"It is said that the ancestor established the Wuxiang Pavilion, but we have never seen the ancestor's appearance in all these years. It is hard to say that she might be someone that Old Man Qin found to impersonate her!" Bai Li analyzed.
Fu Cheng's expression was very serious, and he was fidgeting with the hem of his clothes.
"My intuition tells me that she is real."
“Really? I think it’s unlikely.” Ni Du and Bai Li were on the same side, believing that Yun Yao was someone Luo Hong had hired to impersonate her.
After hearing their explanation, Fu Cheng was no longer sure, since none of them had ever seen what their ancestor looked like.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Since she dares to use the name of our ancestor, she should be prepared to face our wrath if her deeds are exposed. Just to be on the safe side, let's do as she says for now," Fu Cheng said.
Bai Li and Ni Du nodded, exchanged a glance, and then Ni Du's large hand wrapped around Bai Li's slender waist.
“Fu Cheng, let’s have a contest and see who can figure out the situation in the capital in the shortest time.” Ni Du’s refined demeanor was tinged with a hint of provocation.
Fu Cheng: "..."
"You better not let Bai Li help you!"
“We didn’t say you can’t get help, you old single dog!” Bai Li stuck her tongue out at Fu Cheng.
"You two stop!"
Laughter filled the corridor. Yun Yao got up and walked to the window. She raised her slender, white fingers slightly and pointed in a direction.
It's a place of dazzling lights and bustling traffic; once the nightlife begins, it becomes a gathering place for the wealthy.
The most luxurious and upscale bar in Beijing, Scotch.
The atmosphere in VIP room number one was not very harmonious; there was even a sense of suspicion and hostility.
The woman in the main seat wore a dark green cheongsam, with an exquisite silver sable shawl draped over her shoulders. She held a cigarette between her jade fingers, and her eyes and brows exuded charm and allure.
To her left sat a woman with delicate features who was pouring her wine, while to her right sat a slightly older but flamboyant middle-aged woman who was peeling grapes for her.
Opposite the woman sat an old blind Taoist priest dressed in a black robe and leaning on a cane. His attire was completely out of place in the dimly lit room, and his presence only made people feel scared.
The blind old Taoist priest put his cane aside, picked up the wine glass in front of him with his very rough hands, and gently sniffed it.
"Wow, this is good wine!" he exclaimed, then downed it in one gulp.
The woman opposite frowned slightly, raised her delicate hand and beckoned gently. The black-clad bodyguards standing behind her reacted immediately.
The old Taoist priest calmly put down his wine glass, pointed his sunglasses directly at the woman, and said with his lips slightly parted, "Miss Su, is this a case of crossing the river first and then burning the bridge?"
The woman opposite was none other than Bai Mengyan, who had come to have some fun on a whim.
Hearing the old Taoist priest's somewhat familiar tone, Bai Mengyan quickly raised her hand to stop the bodyguards' actions.
"You all go out first," Bai Mengyan ordered coldly.
The bodyguards had already left, but the blind Taoist still showed no intention of speaking, and Bai Mengyan's expression turned slightly somber.
"Yun Xinru, Qiao Lan, you two go out too."
Before leaving, Yun Xinru and Qiao Lan looked back one last time, both of them very curious about the blind Taoist's identity.
After all, they've been under Bai Mengyan's protection for so long, and they've never seen her be so serious with anyone before.
"Xinru, what do you think is the purpose of this old Taoist priest coming to see Miss Su?"
From the moment Yun Xinru decided to move her whole family to live with Bai Mengyan, her family has always put Yun Xinru first. In their eyes, no one else can compare to their daughter. They are able to live a life of comfort and security today because Yun Xinru met the eldest daughter of the Su family, a powerful figure who can provide shelter for their family.
Yun Xinru's eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head.
"I don't know. I've never heard of Sister Mengyan believing in these things. I guess something's wrong."
Qiao Lan nodded and didn't ask anything more. She took Yun Xinru's arm and started planning what kind of bag to buy tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the situation in the private room was at a standstill.
"Old Daoist, you're the mysterious person I've been in constant contact with by phone," Bai Mengyan said with certainty.
Tiandao picked up the wine bottle again and poured himself a glass, taking a sip and savoring it carefully, showing no intention of paying any attention to Bai Mengyan.
Bai Mengyan's beautiful eyes were filled with anger. This stinky Taoist priest in front of her was far too disrespectful to her!
"It's one thing for you to act all mysterious and pretentious all the time, but now that you've shown yourself, you still have to put on this air of superiority. I don't think there's any point in us continuing this conversation." Bai Mengyan said, getting up to speak.
However, she found that she couldn't move at all.
