The banquet had not yet ended. Lu Tang was speaking on the stage when Ji Shengzhou in the audience received a call.

He left before the phone was hung up.

Everyone in the conference hall was discussing and interacting in the hall. Then Ji Shengzhou ran towards the door alone, and his figure was particularly conspicuous.

After coming down from the stage, Lu Tang took out her cell phone, but Ji Shengzhou did not explain to her.

She hesitated for a moment and pressed the call button.

Hang up in seconds.

Ji Shengzhou didn't answer.

The next second, he sent a WeChat message.

Ji Shengzhou: There is something urgent going on at the company, it will be dealt with soon, wait for me.

Looking at these words, Lu Tang felt a little confused.

What big thing happened in the company that made him leave so quickly?

Ji Shengzhou was not on the roadside until the end of the banquet.

As the organizer, Lu Tang stood at the door to see off all the distinguished guests.

She drank some wine and felt a little weak.

After sending off the last partner, she was exhausted and collapsed directly on the sofa on the first floor of the hall.

When Xiaoyuan came out from backstage and was about to take her home, Lu Tang had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

"Ms. Tang, you will catch a cold if you sleep here. It's getting late. I'll take you home." Xiaoyuan woke her up.

Lu Tang sat up from the sofa with hazy eyes, and her first reaction was to see if Ji Shengzhou had sent her a message.

The answer is no.

Xiaoyuan went to the parking lot to drive.

She stood at the entrance of the company's first-floor lobby, leaning against the wall, her eyes always fixed on the chat box between her and Ji Shengzhou.

"Xiaotang."

A strange yet familiar voice entered her ears.

Lu Tang frowned and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Ji Xuan?

Lu Tang's pupils shrank, and he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief: "Aren't you in Europe?"

Was she drunk and hallucinating?

Ji Xuan walked towards her with a smile on his face: "The New Year is coming soon, I'm going back to celebrate the New Year."

Hearing this, Lu Tang remembered what the housekeeper had said to Mr. Ji when they were having dinner at the Ji family's old house.

Lu Tang subconsciously stepped back and nodded.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

Lu Tang was wary of him.

Although he had helped her in Europe, this was not a reason for Lu Tang to forgive him.

Ji Xuan's eyes stayed on her all the time: "It's okay, I missed you, and thought of coming here for a walk, maybe I could meet you by chance."

"I didn't expect... that we would actually meet. I never thought we were destined to be together."

These words made Lu Tang very uncomfortable.

Ji Xuan approached her step by step, and only then did Lu Tang smell the smell of alcohol on her.

"Have you been drinking?" Lu Tang's eyebrows were knitted together.

Ji Xuan smiled: "Yes."

"Xiaotang, I miss you."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Lu Tang's wrist.

Lu Tang dodged quickly and took a step back.

She sneered in her heart. Four months ago, when the Lu Group was in vain, he said in person that he hated and was fed up with her.

Now he says he loves her.

The next two words that came to Lu Tang’s mind were: “disgusting”.

"Xiaotang, can you give me another chance? I promise to love you well."

The more Lu Tang dodged, the more aggressive his actions became. He grabbed Lu Tang's hand and refused to let go.

She was very drunk now and had no strength left in her body, so she couldn't get rid of Ji Xuan at all.

A light shone over and Xiaoyuan drove out of the underground garage.

Seeing Lu Tang being harassed, Xiaoyuan got out of the car and rushed over here.

She pushed Ji Xuan away and protected Lu Tang behind her.

Lu Tang's face was serious, his eyes full of vigilance towards him: "If you pester me again, I will call your grandfather."

"Lu Tang, to be honest with you, I returned to China more than a month ago, and I didn't even go to that crappy school out there." Ji Xuan had a lewd smile on his face.

"I followed you back from Europe. I've been following you all this time. Wherever you go, I go."

There was a hint of joking in his words.

Lu Tang looked at him in horror, his face turning pale: "What... did you say?!"

During the time she was back home, she hadn't noticed anyone following her.

"Ji Xuan, this is not the place for you to act wild."

The next second, a low and serious voice came from behind Ji Xuan.

Ji Shengzhou's hand fell on the hand that was holding Lu Tang, and he raised his foot and kicked Ji Xuan in the stomach.

"what..."

Ji Xuan let out a dull thud and knelt directly on the ground.

"Uncle, what's the matter? Have you finished dealing with the company's affairs?" His tone was meaningful and his eyes were full of provocation.

Ji Shengzhou's face darkened, and his tone was cold: "Ji Xuan, if you dare to touch her again, I guarantee that you will never be able to stay in the capital for the rest of your life."

Although Ji Xuan was the weaker party, the coldness in his eyes was no less than that of Ji Shengzhou.

As both are members of the Ji family, the Ji family's cruelty is reflected in both of them.

This is also what Lu Tang fears the most.

Ji Shengzhou showed no mercy, even to his own nephew.

After a kick, blood appeared at the corner of Ji Xuan's mouth.

He took Lu Tang's hand and walked towards the car without even looking at Ji Xuan.

After getting in the car, she sat in the passenger seat.

As the car drove towards the villa in the distant mountains, it was not difficult to feel that the air pressure in the car was very low.

Lu Tang turned his head and looked at Ji Shengzhou. His lips were straight and there was no expression on his face.

"Did something big happen in the company?" Lu Tang couldn't help but worry.

Ji Shengzhou shook his head: "It's okay, don't think too much, it's already been dealt with."

Even though he said this to her with a smile, her sixth sense told her that things were not that simple.

After arriving home, Lu Tang lay on the bed.

Usually when she gets home, Ji Shengzhou will always be around her.

Even if I am tired, I will wait until she goes to bed before turning off the lights and going to sleep.

But today was different. He prepared pajamas for Lu Tang and blew her hair as usual, and every movement was hasty.

Lu Tang was lying on the bed, Ji Shengzhou was hugging him from behind, she could clearly feel his breathing was disordered.

After a while, she felt sleepy and gradually closed her eyes.

Before she fell asleep, the warm feeling behind her disappeared and Ji Shengzhou got out of bed.

She was a light sleeper, especially after the incident at the Lu Group. Any noise around her would wake her up.

She closed her eyes and could clearly hear Ji Shengzhou's footsteps.

He pushed the door open carefully and walked out quietly.

Soon, the sound of him making a phone call came from outside.

"Boss Ji, something's wrong. They're almost catching up with us."

It's not difficult to tell that the person on the phone was Special Assistant Wang.

Ji Shengzhou's voice was particularly deep: "Have you figured out the statistics? When did he return to China? How did the company's data get leaked? Find out everything!"

Company data leaked!

Lu Tang's heart trembled, and he could no longer lie peacefully in bed.

This is the most fatal threat to a listed company.

He returned to China? Are you talking about Ji Xuan?

Lu Tang was indeed traumatized by Ji Xuan's sudden discovery today.

She saw something different in Ji Xuan today, but she couldn't tell what exactly was different.

As soon as I saw his face, the fear in my bones would dissipate.

A bad premonition came over her, driving her to get up and find out what was going on.
