Chapter 2109 - 213: Feint to the East, Strike to the West

Zhou Xiaotong, "..."

He stood there, not knowing what to say, his chest filled with fierce indignation!

Soon, the elevator stopped, and Acheng turned around to leave.

Then, pressed a button.

Zhou Xiaotong stood in the elevator, looking across at Acheng in a black uniform, clenching his fists.

Acheng, "If you’re not convinced, you can challenge me anytime."

Zhou Xiaotong hadn’t had time to speak before the elevator door closed, and the man, like a black deacon, vanished from view.

It wasn’t until he reached the top floor that he took a breath, got off the elevator, and called Zhou Chuan.

Zhou Chuan was a bit uneasy when he saw the call.

Last time he called, he quickly heard Ji Bo’s voice. This time—

He answered the call without making a sound, maintaining silence.

It wasn’t until he heard Zhou Xiaotong call out "Dad" that he asked, "Why are you calling again?"

Zhou Xiaotong, "It’s already done."

Done?

Wasn’t it just a meal to apologize?

So quick?

A bad feeling arose in his heart, and he quietly asked, "Weren’t you supposed to have dinner with Jin Bo? How come Ji Bo was involved?"

Zhou Xiaotong, "Well, I don’t know the details. I only scheduled with Jin Bo, but later three people came—Jin Bo, Qin Shaoling, and Ji Bo."

Zhou Chuan, "Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

As Zhou Xiaotong recalled and spoke, he narrated the entire process before snapping back to reality.

Jin Bo brought Qin Shaoling, so Ji Bo ended up coming afterward.

Listening, Zhou Chuan felt uneasy.

Could it be that Ji Bo sensed his intentions?

What is Ji Bo’s attitude?

He should not want to see the Huo Family further strengthen, right?

That would make him uncomfortable as well, wouldn’t it?

However, the Huo Family and Qin Family are closely linked, moving against the Huo Family, the Qin Family wouldn’t just stand by.

So, Ji Bo definitely wouldn’t take the initiative against the Huo Family.

Just not sure what his plan is.

Perhaps he could openly talk to Ji Bo, it might be worth a try.

———— Yunqi Academy ————

Jin Bo escorted Qin Shaoling back to the Qin Family.

The Qin Family invited him to dinner.

Jin Bo politely refused, then called Yan Xiaoxi, "Have you eaten yet?"

Yan Xiaoxi, "Having dinner with my brother."

Jin Bo lit a cigarette, sat in the car, spun the steering wheel once, "Ask your brother when he’s leaving."

Yan Xiaoxi, "..."

Anything about her brother?

She stayed silent.

Jin Bo, "I’ll grab a bite outside first; call me when your brother leaves."

Yan Xiaoxi, "Okay."

Since Huo Bei was sitting nearby, coupled with last time’s incident, Yan Xiaoxi didn’t say more, hung up the phone, continued eating, and tried hard to appear calm.

Huo Bei didn’t think it was Jin Bo’s call, paid it no mind, continued eating, and chatting with Yan Xiaoxi about her future career plans.

"Really not considering coming over here as a voice actor?"

Yan Xiaoxi thought of that audition, then the old man, her face turned a bit red.

She glanced at Huo Bei.

He... he shouldn’t have heard her voice acting, right?

If he heard it, she’d be dying of frustration!

Huo Bei looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "You can give it a try. Or, you can take another job here."

Feeling tempted, Yan Xiaoxi thought it was the Huo Family’s company, and it felt a bit off.

"Brother, I’ll think about it."

Huo Bei, "Okay."

After dinner, he spent some time with Yan Xiaoxi, then drove back to his residence.

Yan Xiaoxi called Jin Bo.

Ten minutes later, she heard a knock on the door.

Why did he come so quickly? It’s as if he was waiting in the complex.
