The silence on the other end of the phone seemed to last for a century, but in fact it only lasted less than two seconds.
Two seconds later, Xi Jiu's hoarse voice sounded.
"Are they from Xu Qingya's sect?"
"Nine times out of ten." Ruan Munan was injured and spoke a little weakly, "Even if she is not the mastermind, she must be related to her. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that just as you went to the charity dinner, Jiang Chunian came right after you.
”
Xi Jiu's eyes were dark, with a whirlpool of terror surging deep in his eyes.
He clutched the phone tightly, his face still expressionless, but the hand holding the phone made a rattling noise.
"I know." He heard his own voice, like a sharp ice blade, "You guys rest first, my uncle and aunt and I will go back in a while."
After saying that, without waiting for Ruan Munan to reply, Xi Jiu hung up the phone.
Ruan Fengmian and Yangliu on the side had already guessed what happened in Yuyuan from Xi Jiu's expression.
Yang Liu's eyes turned dark and she asked him anxiously: "Xiao Qi was arrested? Was it Xu Qingya and Jiang Chunian?"
Xi Jiu said "hmm" expressionlessly.
He closed the car door, turned around, and his silent breathing seemed to be brewing a storm and tsunami.
When Ruan Fengmian saw that he turned back and walked back to the hotel, his heart moved and he immediately followed him.
The three of them returned to the hotel again.
At this time, the charity dinner in the banquet hall has not ended yet.
Without Xi Jiu and the Ruan couple, Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya once again became the target of everyone's compliments.
Xu Qingya was holding champagne and standing next to Cheng Qi, her posture was dignified and elegant, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment.
Bang——!
There was a loud noise.
The door to the banquet hall was kicked open.
Due to the excessive force, the thick metal door panel hit the wall hard, making a tragic cry.
Everyone was startled by the sudden sound. They turned to look at the door, but unexpectedly saw Xi Jiu and Ruan's wife who were returning.
The faces of these three people were very ugly at this time. Especially Xi Jiu, although his face was still expressionless, he was intimidating and made his back feel cold.
A guest closer to the gate saw the three of them and couldn't help but ask: "Master Xi, what are you doing..."
Before he finished speaking, Xi Jiu walked past him.
The man's steps were fast and steady, and every step was as cold as the cold wind, filled with murderous intent, making people shudder.
With everyone watching in horror, he walked directly in front of Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya, raised his hand, grabbed Cheng Qi's collar, and lifted him up.
"Master Xi!"
Everyone exclaimed.
Xi Jiu turned a deaf ear and grabbed Cheng Qi's throat and dragged him in front of him.
Cheng Qi was unprepared and couldn't defeat Xi Jiu. By the time he reacted and wanted to resist, it was already too late.
Xi Jiu held him tightly with her big hands and looked at Xu Qingya with cold eyes.
"Where is Xiaoqi?"
Xu Qingya didn't expect that Xi Jiu would dare to do something in public, and she couldn't help being shocked and angry.
"Master Xi, what do you mean?"
Xi Jiu stopped talking nonsense to her and repeated: "Where is Xiao Qi?"
Xu Qingya's eyes flashed slightly, and she said as if she didn't know anything: "I don't understand what the head of the Xi family means. Isn't Miss Ruan Qi recuperating at home? How do I know where she is?"
At this time, the guests present finally recovered from the shock.
Someone wanted to be a peacemaker and asked Xi Jiu tentatively: "Master Xi, is there any misunderstanding in this? Did something happen to Miss Ruan?"
At this time, Xi Jiu was like a wild beast about to lose his mind, unable to hear the outside world at all.
He just stared at Xu Qingya, tightened his fingers on Cheng Qi's throat, and said every word as coldly as ice: "If you don't want him to die, just tell the truth."
Although Cheng Qi is over seventy years old, his ancient martial arts talent is not very good. If he hadn't killed his father and brother, it would have been impossible for him to become the head of the Cheng family with his talent.
Therefore, despite his age, his ancient martial arts strength is not as good as Xi Jiu.
At this time, he was trapped between Xi Jiu's fingers, and he didn't even have the ability to resist. Xi Jiu's fingers were getting tighter and tighter, and Cheng Qi's face was almost turning purple due to lack of oxygen.
Xu Qingya's expression changed.
"Xi Jiu, do you want to kill someone in public?"
"Why not?" Xi Jiu looked at her expressionlessly, "If something happens to Xiao Qi, do you think you can still be alive?"
The man's tone was cold, a kind of crazy calmness to the extreme.
Xu Qingya didn't expect that he would be so crazy, and the mask of disguise finally wavered.
How could this happen?
She is just a woman, and the dignified head of the Xi family is so crazy about her!
Xu Qingya has spent her whole life in calculations. She never knew that a man would lose his mind to such an extent for the one he loves.
But unfortunately, this man’s beloved is Ruan Qi, the granddaughter of her love rival Liu Qiuyu!
Why is this?
Why does Liu Qiuyu’s granddaughter have such a good life?
The jealousy in Xu Qingya's heart once again swept through her body.
She stared at Xi Jiu with red eyes, and said coldly: "I don't know where Ruan Qi is. Head of the Xi family, you are unjustly accusing us without any evidence. Do you really think that there is no one left in the Cheng family?"
"Fuck your mother!"
Before Xi Jiu could speak, a fiery red figure came to his face accompanied by the fragrant wind.
Before Xu Qingya could react, a hand painted with red cardamom stretched out like lightning and grabbed her hair.
Xu Qingya suddenly screamed in pain.
"Let go! Let go! Who is so bold? I am the wife of the head of the Cheng family!"
"Mrs. the head of the Cheng family?" A murderous female voice sounded above her head, "Are you worthy?"
When Xu Qingya heard this voice, her movements paused, and then she struggled even harder.
"Lin Yan! You are Lin Yan! Lin Yan, please let me go!"
Xu Qingya screamed incredibly loudly because of the pain. The banquet hall was already quiet, but now everyone heard her words.
The expressions of some older elders suddenly changed.
"Lin Yan? Isn't that the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family who died twenty years ago?"
"Ah, I remember! The wife of Cheng Bainian, the eldest son of the Cheng family, was named Lin Yan!"
"How is this possible? How could Yang Liu, who was clearly Ruan Dong's lover, become Lin Yan?"
Everyone was chattering away, and at this moment, Minister Xu, an old man in his 60s who had exchanged business cards with Ruan Fengmian before, suddenly slapped his thigh.
"I remembered it! I asked why Ruan Dong looks so familiar. He looks exactly like Cheng Bai back then!"
One word shocked everyone.
Everyone's eyes widened.
What?
Ruan Fengmian and Cheng Bai are exactly the same in age?!
There were many people of Mr. Xi's generation who came to attend the charity dinner this time. When Minister Xu said this, they all suddenly realized.
"No wonder, no wonder I look familiar to Ruan Dong! I saw that eldest son many times at the Cheng family banquet, and he looks exactly the same!"
