After I died, I became the white moonlight of the crazy villain.

Xu Qing gave us a look, then gestured for us to hide in the small cubicle behind his sofa.

The main hall for entertaining guests is completely open to the public, with only small cubicles separated by screens offering a mere glimpse of two people.

"Don't be nervous, let me entertain him first and see what his purpose is."

I nodded to Ge Zeyu and quickly slipped inside.

Less than a minute later, a waiter from the resort led two people in. One of them was Fu Xinyi, and the other person felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

I took a closer look through the screen and then remembered that this man was Fu Xinyi's second uncle. We had met at the engagement banquet.

Based on my investigation, this second uncle of the Fu family is very capable and is the most likely person, besides the head of the Fu family, to uphold the family's reputation.

He was only a few minutes away from the person in power, except that he didn't have as many powerful backers. Previously, the eldest son of the person in power in the Fu family was diagnosed with cancer, which caused panic throughout the entire Fu family.

Many people are secretly taking sides, and they are supporting this second uncle of the Fu family. After all, he has a son and a daughter, and he is still very young.

If it weren't for Fu Xinyi's sudden return, the Fu family might still be embroiled in internal strife.

As I turned my head, I almost touched Ge Zeyu's lips.

Although the small cubicle is spacious, it is mostly partitioned by screens, with only a small portion being a wall.

The screen allows light to pass through, so people can see your shadow if you hide behind it. Only this one-person-wide wall can ensure that you won't be discovered.

I looked into Ge Zeyu's eyes, and I could only whisper in his ear, "The people outside are Fu Xinyi and his second uncle. They probably didn't come with us."

After all, if Fu Xinyi wanted to follow me, he wouldn't have brought his second uncle along.

There's only one reason they came here: to do business with Xu Qing.

Ge Zeyu stared intently at me, his gaze seemingly fixed on me, yet also appearing to be lost in thought. After a long while, he gave a low "hmm."

It was then that I realized how close we were, so close that we could feel each other's breath.

I felt my cheeks getting hot without realizing it. Although I knew Ge Zeyu might not have the same feelings for me, I felt awkward being so close to him after I realized my feelings.

I could only focus all my attention on the living room outside, listening to the conversations taking place there.

Fu Xinyi's second uncle first exchanged pleasantries with Xu Qing, saying a few words of business flattery, and then he got straight to the point, saying, "I want to buy the land in the east of the city that Mr. Xu has."

Xu Qing had his back to us, so I couldn't see his expression, but I could hear a hint of probing in his voice, "Oh? I know the Fu family is powerful and wealthy, but can you take all this land at once? I heard the Fu family was acquiring land all over the west of the city, and they've almost finished it."

“There’s no need for Mr. Xu to worry about that. The land you have is practically useless; it’s been sitting there for years. Why not give it to me? Mr. Xu can quickly recoup his investment.” Fu Xinyi’s second uncle continued to persuade him. In the back and forth, I could tell that he was determined to get the land in the east of the city.

This struck me as odd, since the western part of the city is currently the most developed area, and once the commercial district is completed, most people will flock to that area.

Even if the eastern part of the city wants to develop, it has to wait for the approval from above; otherwise, the land will just remain unused.

Just then, Ge Zeyu leaned close to my ear and whispered something to me. His hot breath sprayed all over my ear, and a tingling sensation quickly surged up. For a moment, I couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

After he finished speaking, I looked at him blankly, vaguely remembering what he had just said about the two people from the Fu family being strange.

After exchanging a few words outside, Xu Qing still wouldn't budge on the matter of selling the land, and Fu Xinyi's second uncle finally couldn't hold back any longer and brought up the jewelry fair that had happened a couple of days ago.

“Mr. Xu, you have just returned from Hong Kong and Macau and have not yet gained a foothold in the mainland. Do you really have to choose this time to oppose the Fu family?”

His words carried a veiled threat, and his attitude gradually hardened, indicating that he was resorting to force when soft tactics failed.

“Mr. Xu, I heard that you plan to shift all your work focus to the mainland in the future and are currently planning to move some companies here. There are just too many review procedures required for each company from preparation to establishment. You were lucky that you were able to get things done quickly before, but that doesn’t mean you can be so lucky every time.”

When I heard this inside, I couldn't help but frown. They were planning to use their connections to get the higher-ups to obstruct Xu Qing's approval process step by step.

This method wasn't a fatal blow to Xu Qing, but it was troublesome and tedious.

Just then, the waiter came in again, saying that someone was looking for him and politely said that he would carefully consider the matter.

After he left, Fu Xinyi asked with some confusion, "Second Uncle, why do we insist on the land in the east of the city? Now, we already have most of the land in the west of the city, except for the Jiang family's. Shouldn't we try our best to make the Jiang family withdraw from this project so that we can take over all the land they have?"

Fu Xinyi's second uncle said in a deep voice with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "You are still young and don't understand many things. You need to be trained. Your father brought you back and has been teaching you about family matters. You should study more when you have time. Don't put all your attention on women. Those methods and abilities are too petty."

His words were clearly pointed, which made Fu Xinyi look lonely and embarrassed, but she couldn't refute them, so she could only nod in agreement.

As the two people got up to leave, Ge Zeyu and I slowly walked out as well. We looked at each other and felt that this whole thing was too strange.

It's a pity I didn't find out what's going on with the land on both sides. Could it be that the Fu family is planning to buy up all the land?

Just as I was about to leave, Ge Zeyu's expression turned serious, as if he had seen something surprising. He quickly grabbed me and pulled me forcefully to the side.

I was dragged back into that cramped space and ended up in Ge Zeyu's arms. At the same time, I heard Fu Xinyi's puzzled voice from outside, "I think I saw someone in the room just now!"
