1728 Zhong Yiliu Isn't the Only One Who Is Leaving

"You're leaving?"

Ji Ziyin was the focus of the Ji family's new generation. She knew Lu Zhi. She was naturally closer to him than the others.

"The banquet isn't over yet. Why are you leaving?"

Lu Zhi was indifferent to her. He only hummed, "I have something on."

This was obviously an excuse. Ji Ziyin immediately stopped talking.

Lu Zhi didn't care about her attitude. He said to her directly, "Miss Ji, please help me tell Uncle Ji that I have something on today. I'll visit him again next time."

Ji Ziyin wasn't the kind of person to get emotional. After a short silence, her almond-shaped eyes flickered as she nodded and said dignifiedly, "I understand."

Lu Zhi nodded and narrowed his eyes. He raised his hand slightly and instructed the bodyguard behind him, "Let's go."

The towering bodyguard behind him immediately pushed his wheelchair out.

"Miss Ji, could it be that CEO Lu also went after that person?"

A man in his thirties beside her chuckled and lowered his voice to flatter her. "I heard that Dean Zhong of the Pharmacy Association has also chased after her. Who exactly is that Qiao Nian? Has she learned how to make black gunpowder?"

Ji Ziyin took a deep breath when she heard this last question.

Her expression did not change as she said frankly, "I don't know. Perhaps a great teacher has taught her."

That person retracted his gaze and nodded in agreement. "That's true. Miss Ji, you're an expert in this aspect. Even if you were just playing around this time, the fact that she could calculate the answer before you shows that she's quite talented in this aspect. She definitely has a teacher guiding her, but she definitely can't compare to Miss Ji."

The other party then sighed. "It's already rare for her to be able to get exposed to black gunpowder at her age!"

Ji Ziyin did not take the foreign girl seriously. A trace of impatience flashed across her eyes, but on the surface, she still gave the other party enough face and smiled. "I'm just a newcomer in this aspect. Let's not compare and let's improve together."

Although she said that she didn't care, she was deep in thought.

Lu Zhi seemed to know that girl... and Elder Zhong from the Pharmacy Association?

Ji Ziyin's eyes darkened.

What was going on with that person called Qiao Nian?

In the Paradise Hotel room.

In the beginning, Qiao Nian had been assigned a single room, a large bedroom.

After all, it was a high-class hotel in the Independent Continent.

Even if she was only staying in an ordinary room, the room was still a little bigger than other hotel rooms of the same type.

It was enough for one person.

However, this was not the case at this moment!

Her small room was filled with people.

Master Cheng, Nie Mi, Liang Conglin, and her father each occupied a place and surrounded her. The four of them did not ask her anything the entire time, but they all looked at her in unison.

Their eyes followed her wherever she went.

At first, Qiao Nian turned a blind eye to it and pretended that she didn't see it. She opened the small fridge, took out five bottles of water, and distributed them to everyone. Then, she took her bottle, walked to the small coffee table, twisted the lid, and took a few sips.

But when she finished drinking the water and screwed the cap back on, the four of them had yet to speak to her or leave. Qiao Nian had a headache.
