Chapter 538 - Approaching Towards The Eventful Night (1/2)

While people continued to flow into the grand theater hall invested in by the Tang family, a limousine was also journeying towards the venue.

The partition was closed, thus allowing the two men inside to converse properly.

Ming Zhi Yi leaned against the seat comfortably, while in his hand was a glass of wine. He wore black from head to toe. On his tie was a pin of a silver lion eaten by a golden fire. It glistened under the dim lighting.

”I really wonder what this small party's purpose is,” the man said while in deep thoughts.

Lu Jin glanced at his father.

He too had that question.

Yesterday night, after reprimanding him, his father then told him to prepare for tomorrow's occasion. Lu Jin had not heard of any news about this private banquet. He was a bit surprised when his father handed him Mistress Tang's invitation.

He was interested in this event?

In the midst the broken glass shards, the man reached out for a small, wax-sealed envelope on the coffee table. He lazily threw the small envelope to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin caught it quietly.

”Prepare for tomorrow's banquet, oh right, it should be a recital or a concert. You will be attending the Tang family's private event.”

Lu Jin opened the invitation.

'Tang Yin's private concert?'

This was so sudden. A concert unknown by the world filled with powerful people. It's a suspicious gathering. That's what it looked like for Lu Jin.

Ming Zhi Yi stood up and buttoned up his suit.

”I will also be tagging along.”

'...!'

When his father's said those words, Lu Jin was stumped.

This was a private event with no media and only huge powers gathered in the pretense of a small concert. Lu Jin was not surprised at all that his father managed to get this news and even an invitation. But what was confusing was that the man himself said he would be coming personally.

He, Lu Jin, was enough to attend this event. Why would his father tag along?

Lu Jin knew that his father only personally came when the matter was serious or important.

But this party... he did not have any idea at all of what its actual purpose was.

More importantly, what was his father's purpose?

The man did not have the whim to tell him at all.

Inside the car, Ming Zhi Yi continued to mutter. His eyes narrowed, thinking deeply. ”The people invited by the old woman are all connected to the organization. Did she sniff me out previously...?”

Lu Jin listened to him quietly. He was trying to put the pieces together.

Ming Zhi Yi sipped on his wine and looked at Lu Jin. He decided to halt his thoughts for now.

”Lu Jin, I have confirmed today that the Chairman of Tanaka Group and his grandson will be coming. You have to secure their cooperation today.”

Lu Jin now knew what was his, Lu Jin's, purpose for coming. ”Yes, Father.”

Ming Zhi Yi turned silent, continuing his thoughts. Finally, after a long while, the man sighed.

”I am not sure if they got a clue or not. It is better to check it out.”

Lu Jin's eyes lowered.

The Tang family sniffed out their plan...?

How come?

****

Inside the private room, Tang Yin was looking at her music sheet. Her dolled-up face was serious as she quietly rehearsed in her mind.

Usually, at around this time, the composer or performer must calm down to ensure that they would be at their best element on stage.

However, her nervousness acted up this time. Even though she had been performing in front of a crowd ever since young, she could not help but feel slightly nervous after checking the list of guests yesterday night.

Majority of the guests were all invited personally by her grandmother and not a single one of them was a mere peanut gallery member. They were people who had big prowess and huge reputation behind them. In terms of status, they did not fall behind her grandmother.

A little woman who had just made her social debut this year, having her first private concert with this kind of crowd, it was an overkill! Tang Yin could not help but feel pressured by the situation.

Even though she knew that her private concert was only a pretense and that her grandmother had other plans, it still took a huge toll on her.

She had to do her best without any flaw. Her actions would reflect the Tang family's prestige after all.

A knock on the door sounded, jolting Tang Yin from her concentration.

An old woman's voice sounded behind it.

”Yin'er?”

Tang Yin recognized the old voice. She hastily went to the door to open it.

”Grandma? You're here!”

Her grandmother arrived early before the concert started.

”I need to be early. I will be welcoming the guests after all. How are you doing?”
