In the banquet hall, many guests were still chatting and laughing together in twos and threes. However, at the same time, what Huo Jinxi said to reporters spread to every corner of the venue in the shortest time.
For a moment, everyone was surprised.
"The South China Sea development project is a government project. How can it be stopped at any time?"
"Yes, there are many people behind Huo's family. How could there be such a big fuss because of such a small problem?"
"Is it possible that it has something to do with Han Bo? He is really here for the Huo family this time, and the South China Sea project is a threat he gave to the Huo family?"
"But in the South China Sea project, the Lu family has invested so much money. There is no reason for Ye Jinfan to cooperate with Han Bo and fix it on his own?"
In the same room, Mu Qian and Ye Xi also heard these discussions.
However, unlike Mu Qian's calm face, Ye Xi was actually the pale one.
"Qian Qian."
Mu Qian was standing behind a group of people, listening intently to their discussion, when she suddenly heard Huo Jinxi's voice calling her, and responded quickly.
Only then did several people realize that Mu Qian was standing nearby, and that Huo Jinxi had also walked over at some point. They immediately fell silent and stopped discussing.
Huo Jinxi just stretched out his hand towards Mu Qian, "It's time for us to go back."
"Okay." Mu Qian responded, took two steps towards him, but suddenly stopped.
Looking back, Ye Xi was standing not far from her, looking at her with panic.
Mu Qian looked at her for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and whispered: "Since you want to go abroad, you should leave as early as possible. The sooner, the better."
After hearing this, Ye Xi's face turned pale instantly.
Mu Qian glanced at her again, without stopping, turned around and walked towards Huo Jinxi, took his hand, and walked slowly out the door together.
At the door, reporters were still waiting there. When they saw Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian coming out, they crowded around again, trying to get more news from Huo Jinxi.
However, with the bodyguards at his side, Huo Jinxi never looked at the reporters again, dragging Mu Qian's hand and left the place calmly.
Ye Xi stood in panic for a moment. Suddenly someone from Ye Jinfan's side came to her side and whispered: "Miss Ye, Mr. Ye is waiting for you in the lounge upstairs."
Ye Xi heard this and hurriedly followed him out of the banquet hall through the side door and went upstairs.
Pushing open the door of the lounge, he saw Ye Jinfan sitting on the sofa, his eyes cold and cold, and his face gloomy.
Hearing the voice, he suddenly raised his eyes and saw it was Ye Xi. His expression softened slightly and he stretched out his hand towards her.
Ye Xi walked forward a little stiffly and was pulled to sit next to him.
"Brother..." She was still in a confused state. She vaguely understood that something big had happened, but she didn't know what the stakes were. "What happened?"
Ye Jinfan shook her hand, paused and then said: "It's okay, you can rest for a while -"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly opened the door and came in. He looked at him and said, "Mr. Ye, we found it."
Ye Jinfan suddenly raised his head and looked at him, only to hear him say: "According to reporters, they got this news temporarily and it came out more than 20 minutes ago. In other words, it was when Mr. Ye introduced Mr. Han on the stage.
when……"
Ye Jinfan suddenly clenched his fists.
"In addition, the specific reasons behind the project are still being investigated, but because the leadership of the project has always been in the hands of Huo, it may not be found out so soon."
Ye Jinfan slowly sat on the sofa, waved the man away, and lit a cigarette for himself.
"Brother..." Ye Xi quickly reached out and grabbed him, "What exactly is going on? What impact will it have on you?"
Ye Jinfan did not answer her. After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he suddenly pinched off the cigarette butt and pulled Ye Xi to stand up. "Let's go, I'll take you back first."
"Brother!" Ye Xi was pinched so hard by him, "Just tell me and stop making me guess, okay?"
Ye Jinfan turned around, stretched out his hand to hold her face, and said slowly: "It's okay, it will be okay, everything will still follow our plan, just don't worry."
After saying that, he pulled Ye Xi out of the lounge quickly.
Ye Xi was panicking, but couldn't ask a single word. Seeing Ye Jinfan's attitude, and then thinking about what Mu Qian said to her before leaving, she finally realized something. Standing in the elevator, she finally asked Ye Jinfan:
"Brother, is there any danger?"
She turned to look at Ye Jinfan. The injury on his face had not actually healed. There was still a little bruise on the corner of his eye, but he had deliberately covered it up today so it was not very visible.
Last time, because of his mistakes in business decisions, he not only caused losses to the Lu family, but also got himself involved in lawsuits. He had already learned this lesson, and this time...
She had just heard someone say that the South China Sea development project was a collaboration between the Huo family and the Lu family. Now that this project has also encountered obstacles, it means that the Lu family has suffered another loss. So for him -
Ye Xi couldn't help but stretched out her hand and grabbed Ye Jinfan tightly, saying: "Brother——"
Before she could speak, the elevator had arrived at the underground parking lot. Ye Jinfan grabbed her out of the elevator, got directly into the car that was waiting next to the elevator, and then ordered the driver to drive.
"Is there any danger?" Ye Xi asked him again and again, "Will someone make things difficult for you like last time?"
"Shh." Ye Jinfan grabbed her hand and raised it to his lips, "Don't think too much first, let me think quietly."
After hearing this, Ye Xi didn't dare to pester him to ask any more questions. She just watched Ye Jinfan slowly close her eyes, leaning against the car window and frowning in thought.
She was so anxious that she could only hold onto the hem of her skirt tightly, turn her head and look out the window, trying to calm herself down.
At night, the traffic situation in the city center is still not very good. Cars are stuck in traffic and stop and go, which makes people even more irritated.
The more Ye Xi wanted to calm down, the more she couldn't calm down. Just as she looked anxiously at the stagnant traffic in front of her, she suddenly heard Ye Jinfan say: "If you don't go back to the villa, go to the apartment in the north of the city."
"elder brother?"
Ye Xi looked at him in surprise, but Ye Jinfan still just squeezed her hand, patted the back of her hand and said, "It's okay, just in case. You don't have to think too much."
After saying that, he looked out the window again, his brows still furrowed.
The car quickly turned around and drove towards the north of the city. Until it arrived at the apartment, Ye Jinfan kept holding Ye Xi's hand tightly.
The more he behaves like this, the more nervous Ye Xi becomes.
When the two finally reached the apartment, Ye Jinfan let go of her and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
While he was taking a shower, Ye Xi finally couldn't help but open the door and saw the bodyguards guarding outside.
"You have always been with my brother. You must know how much investment has been made in the South China Sea project and how important it is?"
After hearing this, the two bodyguards looked at each other with serious eyes.
"Lu's investment in the South China Sea project exceeds 10 billion." The bodyguard said, "It is Lu's most important project, and it is also... the project that cannot fail the most."
