After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1049 - 1046: Couldn’t Ask for More

"Are you sure you won’t join us?" Bi Xia looked at Xu Renfei in the room, then turned to Luo Hao, who was staring intently at Ji Qiutang, "Brother Six, you’re not coming with us either?"Coming back to himself, Luo Hao looked at Bi Xia and pulled the corner of his lips, "No, I’m not going," he said, looking at Ji Qiutang, "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Second Brother, planning to have a good chat. You go ahead and eat; this gathering is all people you know, it wouldn’t be the same if we went too."

Bi Xia chuckled lightly, raising an eyebrow, "Alright, the room is yours, you guys..." looking rather gleefully at Ji Qiutang, "Have a good talk."

With a helpless glance at Bi Xia, Ji Qiutang sat on the sofa, retracting his gaze to look at Luo Hao and company, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "Long time no see, Hao."

Watching them sit together and then looking at the message from Meng Chi, Bi Xia turned and walked to the door, just faintly hearing Luo Hao say, "Fourth Brother’s matter..."

Body tensing, Bi Xia struggled to suppress the impulse to push open the door, furrowing her brows tightly. What’s going on? What does he mean by Fourth Brother’s matter? Is there something about Fourth Brother related to Ji Qiutang?

"Boss!"

Looking up at Meng Chi who came upstairs to find her, Bi Xia gave a deep look at her room door, firmly closing it with a slight force, then turned to walk towards Meng Chi. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Ji Qiutang, but because, among everyone here, the feeling Ji Qiutang gave her was just too mysterious.

What is Fourth Brother’s matter? Why did Wei Xiaoba have that expression of hatred that couldn’t be, yet had to be, when he saw Ji Qiutang? And why did Ji Qiutang leave them for so many years? What is the reason for appearing in front of everyone now?

"Boss, Vice President Xia and the others have just arrived, and the car we rented is already downstairs," Meng Chi said, "But..."

He paused, pressing the elevator button, "Last time, that scrapped car, we paid quite a bit... the amount we paid is..."

"Stop!" Bi Xia raised a hand to stop Meng Chi from continuing, looking blankly at Meng Chi, "Sometimes if the truth is too harsh, it’s better to just hint at it."

Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Meng Chi paused, couldn’t help but smile, "Got it, Boss."

"Oh, Chi," standing in the elevator, Bi Xia said to Meng Chi, "After things are settled today and if you want to have some fun in Yan City, play for a day or two then go back. I won’t be leaving with you."

Meng Chi: "What’s the matter? What happened?"

"Nothing," Bi Xia smiled, "I promised to help Little Fei shoot that MV earlier, and this time they’ve come here because Yan City is the final shooting location, so I’ll go back after filming for them."

Meng Chi nodded in understanding, "Alright, then we won’t play either, head back to Qing City early to hand over the remaining matters. Besides, I heard Qinghai Gang has been making some moves recently. Now that Xiao and I aren’t at Nine Pavilion, with only Ze and Xin’er, I’m still not too reassured."

Listening to Meng Chi, Bi Xia patted Meng Chi’s shoulder appreciatively, "With generals like you, I really feel assured. Leaving Nine Pavilion to you gives me peace of mind!"

Meng Chi’s mouth twitched, his expression blank as he said, "Since establishing Nine Pavilion, you’ve just been in AFK mode. Many old members have complained they haven’t seen you for quite some time."

Bi Xia: ...

Clearing her throat, Bi Xia said seriously, "No way around it, there’s so much going on with X Group, look, I’m even on a business trip to Yan City now."

"I’m in Yan City too, Boss."

Bi Xia: "...Oh, this month’s bonus is gone."

Meng Chi: ... deducting bonuses?!

Looking at the ceiling in despair, Meng Chi comforted himself, no worries, there’s no bonus from Nine Pavilion, but there’s still the bonus from X Real Estate Company.

"You just mentioned Qinghai Gang has been making moves?" Bi Xia suddenly asked.

Meng Chi snapped to attention, "Yes, I’ve heard Qinghai Gang is suffering from unknown attacks and has been frantically lashing out, occasionally harassing our territories."

The starry eyes half-squinted, crimson lips curled coldly, "Looks like Yu Du has found the ’clues’ we left for them and is starting to target Qinghai Gang."

"Then why is Qinghai Gang targeting us?" Meng Chi frowned.

"It’s simple, Yu Du is the biggest gang in Yan City, and although Qinghai Gang is an old gang in Qing City, Yu Du does not consider it a threat. Judging by the forces behind Yu Du, it’s more than capable of destroying Qinghai Gang," Bi Xia said, then asked, "Did Qinghai Gang know I wasn’t around?"

"Yes."

"That’s it, they’re planning to use the same tactics we used against Yuan Gang: to dismantle Nine Pavilion while I’m away, leaving it as an empty shell just like Yuan Gang."

Meng Chi’s expression darkened as he sneered, "Don’t they know that imitating us will end very badly for them?"

Looking at Meng Chi, Bi Xia smiled faintly, "Don’t rush, Chi. Let them stir things up. If Nine Pavilion was so easily toppled, we wouldn’t want it in the first place. Now... coincidentally, I need them to help distract Yu Du."

With that, the starry eyes flashed a deep blue, casting a smiling gaze at Meng Chi, she said slowly, "Looks like you’ll have to stay with me in Qing City for a while."

Meng Chi was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "Can’t ask for more."
