CHAPTER 397: CHAPTER 367 CONFIDENTIALITY

Meng Yan was entertaining guests and had just ordered the food, chatting away.

His assistant had gone to park the car and arrived a bit late. Upon entering, he whispered to him, "President Meng, Jian Ye has brought quite a few people and gone to Section Two."

The Yu Jin Restaurant is divided into four areas, accessible by four elevators.

Each area is separate from the others.

The privacy is excellent, and the security is also very good.

While parking, the assistant happened to hear someone making a phone call in the underground parking lot.

A dozen people were called upstairs by a phone call.

He didn’t pay much attention but as he was leaving the parking lot, he passed by those people’s cars and glanced at the license plates. One of the license numbers he recognized, it belonged to Jian Ye’s people.

He wasn’t sure what Jian Ye was doing here with all those people, so he thought about it and mentioned it to Meng Yan.

"Section Two?" Meng Yan was a bit taken aback.

The assistant saw his reaction and said, "Yes."

Meng Yan seemed to freeze for a moment.

He saw Qiao Yuxian get on the elevator to Section Two.

It couldn’t be such a coincidence.

He held onto a glimmer of hope, but immediately stood up, apologized to the people in the private room and left his assistant behind as he turned and went out.

As he walked over there, Meng Yan kept thinking.

An area that big, being in the same area doesn’t necessarily mean being in the same private room.

But the lady did mention meeting someone.

Meeting someone, so it wasn’t meeting a friend.

Maybe the lady just habitually said it that way.

Besides, what grudge could Jian Ye have with their lady, and why would they meet?

Wasn’t Jian Ye recently busy with matters at the Imperial Power Club? What was he doing bringing people here?

Meng Yan entered the elevator with confusion, just remembering to call Qiao Yuxian.

The call went through.

He dialed twice in a row, but no one answered.

Meng Yan’s slight hope vanished instantly.

He sped up and reached there. Someone tried to stop him, but Meng Yan placed the Gu Group upfront, and they became "unable to stop him."

The outward block was persistent, yet they followed Meng Yan inside.

Jian Ye had brought so many people, although Yu Jin Hotel emphasizes good privacy, in front of the Gu Group, they are rather flexible.

A mere glance led Meng Yan over.

Since Qiao Yuxian wasn’t answering the phone, Meng Yan directly looked for Jian Ye.

Reaching the private room’s door, the sounds of fighting inside were very clear.

The waiter was still outside trying to intervene with words.

Meng Yan pushed the door open directly.

Inside was a mess.

Tables and chairs were all turned over, wooden chairs broken into a leg here, a stick there.

Bowls and cups shattered across the floor. Chopsticks scattered with no partners in sight.

People lay around in various positions.

The waiter outside had already run away before he opened the door.

Meng Yan saw this and immediately walked inside, where it was even more chaotic, tablecloths were ripped into shreds.

There was also a camera shattered to bits.

And Qiao Yuxian was delivering punches to Jian Ye.

Jian Ye was quite skilled, blocking Qiao Yuxian’s attacks while still able to strike back.

Qiao Yuxian was fighting him while defending against others.

Meng Yan quickly moved forward, unbuttoned his suit, loosened his tie, and knocked down the people advancing towards Qiao Yuxian one by one.

Qiao Yuxian saw Meng Yan come over out of the corner of his eye and focused on dealing with Jian Ye.

He kicked Jian Ye into the corner.

Jian Ye leaned against the wall, clutching his stomach and gasping for air.

Fearing his hands would get scraped, Qiao Yuxian wrapped strips of cloth around them, swiftly punching forward.

A swift punch landed, Jian Ye gritting his teeth as he dodged to the side.

Qiao Yuxian’s punch landed on the wall. She shook her hand, dodged incoming punches from others, kicked them away, and then went after Jian Ye again.

Jian Ye caught his breath and proceeded forward.

Qiao Yuxian stepped forward, executing a horizontal kick, a side kick, sweeping moves, turned back kick, and a flying knee forward.

Jian Ye had no way to defend, being hit backward repeatedly, finally getting knocked to the ground by another horizontal kick from Qiao Yuxian, who then leaned over and hit him twice more with her left hand.

Not letting Jian Ye get up until she stopped.

Meng Yan also defeated the last person.

He walked up to Qiao Yuxian and asked, "Madam, are you alright?"

Qiao Yuxian shook her head, unwrapped the cloth from her hands, and smiled, "Not bad at fighting."

Still a bit unsettled, Meng Yan replied with a somewhat stiff smile, "Average, just passable."

He dared not imagine, if their madam had been slightly hurt here today, what Mr. Gu would do.

It really scared him to death.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, left the private room, and left the group of people lying on the ground behind.

Meng Yan followed her.

Walking a few steps outside, Qiao Yuxian said, "Go have your meal, I’m leaving."

"Let me take you back." Meng Yan offered.

"No need, I’m going to the dubbing studio." Qiao Yuxian replied, "You have people to entertain, don’t mind me."

"I..." Meng Yan was just about to speak when Qiao Yuxian stopped and interrupted him.

She looked at him and said, "What just happened is confidential, you’re not to mention it to Gu Yanjing."

Meng Yan was now more than just scared, he was in a difficult position: "Huh?"

"Act like we didn’t meet today, Gu Yanjing won’t ask you about anything." Qiao Yuxian lowered her voice, "You know whose people were inside, don’t trouble Gu Yanjing with this."

"But..." Meng Yan tried to voice something.

Qiao Yuxian interrupted him again: "No buts. If you dare tell Gu Yanjing, I’ll have him fire you."

Meng Yan was even more terrified.

"Just so I can see if I’m more important as his wife, or if you brothers are." Qiao Yuxian threatened, "Anyway, it will be troublesome for your Mr. Gu by then, you decide for yourself."

Meng Yan felt conflicted.

He just went out to eat!

If he had known, he would’ve stayed overnight at the company instead of coming here.

Meng Yan was so troubled that his expression distorted, "You wouldn’t."

Qiao Yuxian looked at his miserable face and smiled kindly, "Try me. See if I won’t make your Mr. Gu’s head hurt."

Meng Yan wanted to cry.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Remember, we never met. It’s simple."

Meng Yan really wanted to cry.

After her threat, Qiao Yuxian encouraged him: "Heaven has endowed you with a great mission, go for it!"

Then she left.

Meng Yan watched her leaving silhouette, wiped his face hard, and started brainwashing himself.

Didn’t see her, didn’t see her, didn’t see her, didn’t see her...

...

Leaving the Yu Jin Hotel, Qiao Yuxian found a clinic to treat her wrist.

That punch against the wall was quite forceful, not only reddening the back of her hand but also spraining her wrist slightly, with a persistent dull pain.

She felt it was her own laziness and lack of training that caused it.

Decided to exercise appropriately in the future.

Otherwise, her skills might deteriorate.

After getting treated at the clinic, Qiao Yuxian took a taxi to the dubbing studio.

Not until after ten at night did she take a taxi back to Jingyu Garden.

In the living room, Meng Yan and Su Qi were there.

Gu Yanjing was talking to them.

Seeing them, Qiao Yuxian greeted them and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Once Meng Yan saw her, because he was nervous and because he had never hidden anything from Gu Yanjing before, he instinctively held his breath, his expression stiffened, and even after Qiao Yuxian left, he was still struggling to recover.

Gu Yanjing immediately noticed his abnormality.

He glanced at him and then looked away, not saying anything...
