Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 303

Every aspect of this matter oozed strangeness; Jiang Qi said the kid had followed Red Scorpion in this direction.

Xiao Chen’s lips were tightly pressed together as he pulled out his phone from his pocket, his heart uncommonly panicked and at a loss, cold sweat breaking out in his palms, a slight tremor in his hands.

He dialed Yun Yue’s number.

There was no immediate answer on the other side; the ringtone echoed, one tone after another, and everyone’s hearts sank, staring intensely at the phone in his hand.

Just as the phone was about to play the voicemail prompt indicating no answer, the call connected, and a languid female voice came through.

"Hello?" Yun Yue pressed her brows, looking at the twin brothers in front of her.

Everyone sighed in relief upon hearing her voice.

Had Yun Yue gone missing at Tianxi, he would have turned the entire place upside down to find her.

Xiao Chen’s tense face relaxed, his throat swallowing once, his voice deep, "Where are you?"

"Just wandering around; what’s up?" Her tone was as laid-back as ever, betraying no sign of distress.

"Where are you? I’ll come to you," Xiao Chen said with a cold face, and no one around him dared to make a sound.

Yun Yue knew he must have found the two unconscious waiters outside; she glared at the two pitiable figures before her.

"Fine." She reported her location and then hung up the phone.

With an arch of her brow, she looked at the two, "You two acted without permission again; itching for a beating?"

"No, that kid stole a deal worth several billion from us; surely it’s not too much to teach him a lesson?" Black Scorpion claimed his actions were justified.

Yun Yue’s gaze fell on him, and he instantly shut his mouth, cowed.

She pocketed her phone and, with hands in her pockets, warned with a hint of threat, "You two better leave quickly. That deal was a gift from me to them. If you two have a problem, feel free to come and fight me."

"Big Bro!" The brothers looked at her in disbelief.

After all that, it turned out she had personally facilitated the deal; no wonder Boss Wu Yi had been so evasive and noncommittal.

Yun Yue pulled down her cap brim, roughly, and stood at the elevator entrance, "Not leaving yet? Waiting to get caught?"

They glanced at the floor indicator on the elevator, immediately entered the safety passageway, and at the same time, the elevator doors opened.

Yun Yue stood in the doorway, meeting a pair of chilly and profound eyes, her brow raised nonchalantly as she stepped into the elevator, "What’s up?"

Xiao Chen’s usually cool demeanor softened, his tone warming slightly, "Nothing."

Yun Yue lowered her gaze and remained silent.

Entering the private room, she realized that quite a few people had arrived.

"Master Chen, Miss Yun," Jiang Qi spoke, his eyes landing on Yun Yue; they had indeed been scared half to death just now.

Yun Yue sat next to Xiao Chen, and he thoughtfully placed desserts in front of her, prompting everyone to widen their eyes, speculating about Yun Yue’s identity.

Lin Xuanze, completely unaware of what had just happened, came out from an inner partition, realizing only then that so many people had joined suddenly.

He stopped in his tracks, hardly daunted by the many stares, as he casually took a seat next to Feng Ye.

"Who is this..." Jiang Qi turned to look at Feng Ye.

Feng Ye, smiling, introduced, "The kid’s older brother."

Jiang Qi understood; the kid was Yun Yue, which meant her brother was Master Chen’s uncle by marriage.

His status might even be higher than his own.

Seeing their confusion, Feng Ye felt a bit awkward; the nickname "the kid" had become a habit, but it seemed it was time for a change.

"These two are relatives of mine; you all understand, don’t you?"

Their identities weren’t convenient to reveal, so saying they were his relatives was really the best option.

All eyes discreetly glanced at Yun Yue’s seat, revealing an expression of realization.

"The auction has begun," Jiang Qi turned on the box’s screen. Many people had come to the auction this time, all drawn by those five sets of medicine.

Feng Ye’s casually spread smile contracted as he nudged Jiang Qi beside him, "Is it possible to analyze the ingredients inside?"

After so many attempts, with so much money poured into the lab, the result was always the same: they couldn’t figure it out.

"Can’t do it," Jiang Qi spread his hands in resignation. If they could have figured it out, they would have already started mass production and wouldn’t need to attend this auction.

Feng Ye’s eyes widened at the blunt reply.

With her head bowed, Yun Yue arched her delicate eyebrows slightly, idly playing with her phone.

"I heard Old Master Ji has returned, and the Ji Family has undergone a major overhaul. I wonder if he will come," Duan Qinnian mused, holding a teacup.

He was Jiang Qi’s college classmate and got along quite well with both Jiang Qi and Feng Ye, ingratiating himself with them. After graduation, he maintained a good relationship with the two and even managed to connect with Xiao Chen through them.

Truth be told, he was quite glad to have been in the same class as Jiang Qi; otherwise, he couldn’t have penetrated this circle.

While they were away, Old Master Ji had returned and reorganized the entire Ji Family, top to bottom, prompting caution from several powerful forces in Beijing.

For more than a decade, Old Master Ji had kept out of the family’s affairs, leading to the Ji Family’s decline, to the point where they were even less influential than the Feng and Jiang families. Many were speculating about his reasons for coming back.

"Old Master Ji has returned," Feng Ye glanced at Xiao Chen without a trace and took a sip of his tea.

Xiao Chen remained as he was, elegantly composed, his presence restrained, impenetrable to onlookers.

"It seems like Gu Cong is determined to win this time," Jiang Qi observed the screen. Xiao Chen remained silent in the box, and no one else spoke.

Lin Xuanze watched the screen intently, not knowing what was being auctioned but seeing the price had already reached seventy million.

The bids were still rising, and he looked curiously at the people in the room, obediently sitting and watching with them.

Half an hour later, all five sets of goods were auctioned off, and they had won two of them.

Gu, He, and Ji families each got a set.

In the past, the Ji Family never managed to win even one set, but this time Old Master Ji personally took action and secured one.

After the auction ended, the group played for a while before leaving.

The family heads of the three great families, Ji, He, and Gu, all stood together waiting for the elevator.

"Old Master Ji, long time no see," He Chong said, standing still, his aura stern and authoritative.

Ji Xian nodded with his cane, "It’s been more than a decade, Elder He, you haven’t changed a bit."

He Chong responded with a smile, "Not at all, Old Master Ji seems even more spirited."

The incident from back then had dealt him a heavy blow, causing him to fall ill, and he left the Ji Family nearly 20 years ago. Now he had returned, looking rejuvenated and spirited.

He pondered if Old Master Ji might have encountered Yun Yue.

Gu Cong stood aside, smiling with a genteel and scholarly charm.

Many stood behind them; in such a situation, they had no place to interject.

The elevator doors opened, and it was Xiao Chen’s group.

The atmosphere in the air instantly became tension, marking a rare occasion when the heads of the Four Major Families had gathered like this in many years.

A solemn, stern aura permeated the air.

"Old Master Ji, Elder He," Xiao Chen greeted them calmly and composedly, with a steady and restrained presence.

Feng Ye and Jiang Qi each took a breath, nervously greeting the two men—figures even more formidable than their own grandfathers.

Lin Xuanze stood behind them, and even without recognizing these people, he could tell from their commanding aura that they were not to be taken lightly.

Ji Xian lightly nodded his chin and glanced over, his eyes widening at the sight of the people in the elevator.
