CHAPTER 781: CHAPTER 481: HOW IS SHE?

Yue Beiqing felt she shouldn’t have come out with this twisted forensic investigator. This woman knew all too well how to unearth and unleash the seductive power of the female body, every move of hers was breathtaking... After all, she was also a beauty of good background, ability, and temperament... Had she now been reduced to a mere chirping bird?

That was certainly not the case.

Dressed in a sharp and independent women’s business suit and high heels, Yue Beiqing looked utterly cool and dashing.

Of course, not more dashing than the two men behind her.

Yi Chilian looked up to see Sui Yi on the balcony, her steps halted, simply staring at her.

The man beside her noticed Yi Chilian’s gaze and couldn’t help but look up as well, noticing Sui Yi before anyone else, even in front of people like Cao Ling and Mu Sang.

It certainly wasn’t because Sui Yi looked more beautiful or special, but the beauties like Cao Ling and Mu Sang definitely didn’t fit the type that Young Master Yi fancied.

He sized up Sui Yi, naturally meeting her gaze as well.

What a person was like could be seen in their eyes.

It was the first time he had seen such calm and serene eyes, as if nothing in the world could stir her emotions, that if there were, it definitely wouldn’t be because of you.

This feeling made him shake his head inwardly; this girl had a high threshold.

"I have a feeling you can’t conquer her,"

Yi Chilian responded to his clear malice with a faint smile.

"I just need to make her want to conquer me."

"That might be even harder."

"No worries, I have time."

These words made the man pause for a moment, then laugh, thinking with your status, how long can you really hold on... He walked forward, approaching Ming Lanyuan, "Beauty, I think you need a man who can support you and enhance your feminine charm."

Ming Lanyuan instantly noticed a certain noble young man on the balcony with a scornful, wicked, and wild sneer...

Oh~

Smiling at me?

She was slightly surprised, but immediately returned the smile with a charming one, "I’ve been waiting for you... my dear~"

Cao Ling and the others on the balcony immediately felt Chief Forensic Investigator Ming’s dominant and overwhelming charm!

Then suddenly she turned to see her distinguished and cold brother looking down at her with an expression and gaze like a Taoist beholding a brothel girl, silently dismissive...

That look, fiercely fierce...

She suddenly understood, smirking: "Brother, what do you think of her?"

"Who?"

Cao Yu had put away his previous expression, indifferent.

"Chief Forensic Investigator Ming."

Cao Yu turned his face away, his expression bland: "Dressing so scantily in this freezing weather, too eager to show off, not steady, not ladylike at all, and just lets a man..."

"Are you speaking ill of someone?" Cao Ling laughed.

Cao Yu looked at her coldly, "You asked me."

"Yes..." Cao Ling blew on her nails, "but you’ve never been so harsh on a woman before."

Cao Yu himself paused, then admitted, "That just proves I really dislike her."

Young Master Cao had never been so harsh towards a woman and had never expressed his dislike so bluntly...

Cao Ling nonchalantly raised an eyebrow: "That’s for the best... Do you know who that man just now was? Zhong Lang, an officer from the Imperial Guards, belonging to the Zhong Family, a young master with exceptional talent... His strength should be at the peak of B-level... It’s certain he’ll break through to A-level soon, and once he does, he will be promoted and will outrank people like Ming Lanyuan... Technically, he already ranks higher now... Oh yes, most of us in the circle know he’s pursuing Forensic Investigator Ming Lanyuan..."

So much to say, but the key point is--his suitor is very formidable, thankfully you don’t like her, otherwise, you’d be in trouble...

"You’re really well-informed."

"I have to be, you know where I work~ Understanding the Imperial Guards is essential."

Cao Yu cast his gaze downward, drank some wine, then stoically turned and walked away.

He was Cao Yu, how could he possibly have anything to do with that unharmonious woman...

Ming Lanyuan was a born queen of manipulating men, naturally lazy in her demeanor, thus making her pairing with Situ a natural couple, leaving no room for anyone’s doubt.

But Yi Chilian and Yue Beiqing... no matter how one looked, it just didn’t seem right...

However, as these people reached beneath the balcony...

A shadow loomed over from the sky, and the swirling airflow coupled with the sound of propellers made everyone realize that those distinguished guests had finally arrived!

Not less than ten black dots approached from various directions...

Those were helicopters or private jets, either way, quickly magnifying in everyone’s view...

One after another, helicopters and private jets landed... bodyguards

Men and women, either handsome or elegant, got off the planes...

"It’s that Ukrainian tycoon, Muen Mashafeideli..."

The name is quite long...

"Ah, Mario has also arrived... his IT empire..."

Within Muen Mashafeideli’s entourage, Sui Yi spotted a face.

Justin, this man truly infiltrates everywhere.

If people like Sui Yi could still be considered giants and pioneers of various industries, if those from the Duke’s Mansion were representatives of the nobility, and people like Marton represented political power, then individuals like Mario and Muen Mashafeideli belonged to an industrial monopoly or even conglomerates that could incite financial storms with a mere gesture and command deep contemplation and favorable treatment from world leaders... tycoons.

Their assets were counted in billions, often amounting to hundreds of billions or even trillions...

Most importantly, their industries were irreplaceable, deeply entrenched in society, with thousands upon thousands of laborers depending on them for their livelihood.

Such was their power and influence!

Sui Yi’s Sui Tang Square was far from reaching this level, and she held some respect for these capital moguls.

However, there was also someone among them who caused quite a stir among the nobility.

Earl of Platinum.

An earl ranked below a duke, yet because of his close relations with the Imperial Family, he was exceptionally notable; and what made him most peculiar was his deeper involvement in societal industries than even the Duke’s Mansion, seeming like a smiling tiger...

This could be seen from the changing expressions of several nobles present.

Of course, nobody had seen the Earl of Platinum personally; they only knew of his presence because of the emblem of his mansion on that private plane.

And the Earl of Platinum hadn’t even shown up yet!

From the neighboring helicopter, a man jumped down.

Dressed in a suit, covered by a Dafeng coat, the propeller wind still blowing, the coat fluttering, he casually took off the coat, holding it in his hand as he walked step by step...

He exuded not the air of a tycoon, nor of a noble gentleman, nor of a political leader, but rather the aura of a superstar.

"Wow~ it’s Kaso"

The dignified and sublime ladies present... started to get restless.

All because of the man named Kaso’s appearance.

Before coming to the United Kingdom, Sui Yi had heard about a Hollywood superstar named Kaso, a Frenchman who seemed to have a cheat code in the entertainment and music industry. Starting from eighteen, he achieved monumental glory within a decade, his deep, captivating eyes becoming the face of several dozen renowned international brands. Just from endorsements in the past ten years, he had earned billions of US dollars, adding to his earnings from his acting and his investments in movie production companies... Each of his investments flourished just as his daily-growing popularity did...

Now, he was a billionaire worth dozens of billion US dollars, still only twenty-eight and able to remain active on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame for many, many years to come...

People were crazy about him not just because of his wealth but more so for his unlimited charm. Women succumbed to his sexy aura and superior temperament, while men admired his extraordinary acting skills in films...

To say he was irresistible to both men and women wasn’t an exaggeration, and speaking of sophistication... he was on a par with those capital moguls, as he now walked over, chatting and laughing with Mario.

"I never thought the always low-profile Kaso would come too, those celebrities like Salina are nothing compared to him, the Grand Prince of Yale has huge influence," Cao Ling and others might be ordinary people, but they still had their favorite movie stars, and although many celebrities were present today, Kaso was a crowd-puller, unmatched in charm by anyone else’s simple smile.

Suddenly, there was some commotion behind... the butler rang a bell...

The banquet was about to begin.

Three rings, and the banquet would start, this was the first ring, a reminder.

Everyone began to walk into the hall...

From the balcony, through the corridors, to the hall, Sui Yi suddenly stiffened her shoulders, then unintentionally rubbed her left arm with her right hand, prompting Ye Zixu beside her to step forward and quietly ask.

"What’s wrong? Does it hurt?"

"It’s okay, just a bit cold," Sui Yi said, her gaze drifting across the warmly lit yet elongating corridor...

The coldness wasn’t due to temperature.

Ye Zixu followed her gaze and slightly frowned.

"I sense some death energy, and there’s a presence here I’m familiar with..." Ye Zixu, coming from an ancient lineage, knew some secret techniques better than Sui Yi and had a higher perspective. When he said he was familiar, it meant that at least there was some... unclean stuff in the building.

"Hmm."

Their conversation was brief, spoken in ancient Sanskrit.

Most of the others couldn’t understand it, including Cao Ling and others, so they all turned to look.

Including Yi Chilian from not far away, he darkened his eyes subtly, his gaze lingering on Ye Zixu for a moment...

She was quite close to this man, so why was she exclusively cautious about him?

Could it be because he was too obvious?

But he didn’t believe that this man was that naive.

The night deepened, Zhuang Ziyi watched coldly as Sui Yi chatted softly with Ye Zixu, she turned her face and glanced at the sky dark and gloomy overhead, slightly furrowing her brows.

This night might not be very peaceful.

--------

Of course, it was not going to be peaceful. In the hall, the string section of the orchestra slowly started playing, and slender fingers touched the piano keys as the music began! (To be continued.
