Wednesday.

Ji Nuan got out of the taxi and walked up to the very luxurious gate of the Premium Entertainment Club.

She called Ji Hongwen before she came here, but he didn’t answer the call. Then she called Secretary Zhou, who said her father left his cell phone in his coat pocket and was playing cards and drinking with several old friends.

Ji Nuan looked at the club that was well located. Although her father was not a low-key sort of person, he usually chose quiet theme clubs or luxuriously-decorated Chinese style restaurants to meet his friends and business partners.

It was the first time for him to choose such a… “young” place.

However, as one of the largest clubs in T City, many rich or powerful people frequented this club. It was possible for her dad to choose to discuss business or entertain his friends here if he didn’t have a better choice.

It was seven o’clock in the evening, and the atmosphere in the club had not yet livened up. People were arriving in groups of two or three.

She was going to ask a waiter where was room 18 when a hand reached out from the side and took her arm. She jerked around only to see a thirty-something man in a formal suit standing in front of her. “Excuse me, are you Miss Ji?”

Ji Nuan looked at him vigilantly. “You are?”

The man smiled politely. “Director Ji sent me to pick you up. He is waiting for you in the room. Please, follow me.”

Her father didn’t contact her from the very beginning. Although Secretary Zhou could be trusted, he was not as trustworthy as her father.

And now a stranger came to pick her up.

Ji Nuan raised her eyebrow. “Director Ji sent you here? Did he bring a new assistant with him? Where is Secretary Zhou?”

Her father wouldn’t act this way. Ji Nuan felt more and more suspicious.

However, the man still smiled politely and said calmly as if he was the most honest man in the world. “Director Ji is drunk, and Secretary Zhou is taking care of him. I’m the new assistant of Director Ji. Miss Ji, even if you don’t trust me, you should trust Secretary Zhou. She has been serving the Ji Corporation for so many years. You should trust her, shouldn’t you? Besides, this is the first time I met you, and I don’t have any ill will toward you, so… are you suspicious of me?”

Ji Nuan didn’t answer his question. She glanced at the bathroom. OK, I came here in a hurry. Let me retouch my makeup in the powder room.”

“You need to fix your makeup when you’re going to see your father?”

“Sure. I think there must be some friends of my father over there, right? Simple grooming is a basic ritual.”

The man could only nod at her. “All right.”

Ji Nuan quickly walked into the bathroom holding her cell phone and called Mo Jingshen as soon as she entered.

Mo Jingshen soon picked up the call. She knew he was having a meeting in a branch office of his company. He mentioned last night that he would have a meeting tonight because a project of a branch office needed to be decided by him.

Ji Nuan seldom called him when she knew he was in a meeting, so Mo Jingshen immediately picked up her call.

“What’s up?” His low and deep voice rang.

Ji Nuan lowered her voice lest the man outside would hear her. “I’m in the Premium Club. My father’s secretary asked me to come here, but I haven’t seen my father yet. I’m not sure what will happen, but there must be something wrong if I don’t answer your call in twenty minutes.”

Before Mo Jingshen had time to say anything, the man outside had come up to the door of the bathroom.

Noticing the man had found out she was making a call, Ji Nuan immediately put down her cellphone and hung up. She took out a lipstick and randomly applied to her lips. Then she turned to the man waiting outside. “Let’s go. Please lead the way.”
