In response to the intense reaction stirred by Liao Ning’s words, the director found himself with no choice but to discreetly signal the emcee through his earpiece, abruptly ending the interview. He hastily escorted Liao Ning and Elder Jiang off the stage.
In a flurry, the remaining proceedings were swiftly concluded as instructed by the director. The emcee hastily announced the successful conclusion of the gourmet competition.
Back at the organizer’s office, the person in charge could hardly sit still. They were well aware that Liao Nings remarks had exposed the Wang and Wei families of the five aristocratic households, removing a thin veil of disguise. Although they were the largest food livestreaming company in the alliance, they remained a small entity in comparison to the affairs of the five aristocratic families. While the hasty conclusion of the finals would undoubtedly result in substantial financial losses for the company, these losses had yet to materialize. In the face of potential repercussions from the influential five great families, these monetary setbacks seemed trivial.
Following the conclusion of the finals, Liao Ning located Zhou Ling below the stage and led him to the guest area in search of Elder Jiang, who was still present.
Elder Jiang, a close friend of Zhu Ying and a respected scholar within the Interstellar Alliance, had made significant contributions to the alliance. Liao Ning believed that with his assistance, their plan would proceed smoothly.
With the intention of taking Elder Jiang to the Music Association on the capital planet and divulging everything about Zhu Ying to Su MO, Liao Ning sought to utilize the Su family’s extensive intelligence network to bring down the Wei family. Simultaneously, she desired to provide an explanation to these two old friends who had tirelessly searched for Zhu Ying.
Liao Ning carefully placed the translucent card bearing the Su family emblem, which had been given to her by Su MO, on the reception desk of the Music Association.
The front desk staff promptly extended their utmost respect and guided Liao
Ning and the others to the office on the upper floor, informing them that Su MO would be arriving shortly. After serving them tea and fruits, the staff discreetly withdrew.
Meanwhile, upon receiving the news of Liao Ning’s presence at the Music Association on the capital planet, Su MO hastily made his way from the Su family’s former residence to the association. Without waiting for the front desk staff to speak, he hurriedly ascended the stairs to the upstairs office.
“Liao Ning, the staff informed me that you have something urgent to discuss with me?!” Su MO pushed open the office door, his voice laced with anxiety. Upon noticing Liao Ning, Zhou Ling, and Elder Jiang, he couldn’t help but express his curiosity. “Elder Jiang? Why are you here with Liao Ning?”
Elder Jiang and Su Tang had been close friends, and he had witnessed the growth of his friend’s talented grandson. He stroked his white beard and patted the empty sofa beside him. “MO MO, come and sit down. Ah Ning said she has something important to share with you.”
“Ning?” Su MO felt a hint of surprise. He had never known Elder Jiang to be acquainted with Liao Ning. “How do you know Liao Ning?”
In response to Su Mo’s question, Elder Jiang’s expression immediately turned grave. “I haven’t even mentioned you yet! If you knew about Zhu Ying’s whereabouts, why didn’t you inform me first? If I hadn’t accepted the invitation to be a judge at the gourmet competition this year, I would have remained completely oblivious!”
Su MO became flustered. “It’s not… I mean…’
Caught in the gaze of everyone in the room, he struggled to find an explanation.
Elder Jiang spoke to him with a softened expression, “I understand you were afraid that I would be saddened by the news of Zhu Ying’s passing, but you forget that after years of searching for Zhu Ying, the happiest thing for me and your grandmother is to receive any news about her. While I am undoubtedly saddened, having lived for so many years and bidding farewell to many loved ones, Zhu Ying’s demise is merely a regret to me.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize—”
Elder Jiang pulled him to sit beside him. “You’re a good child. There’s no need to blame yourself.”
Liao Ning proceeded to recount the events concerning Zhu Ying. She then presented Zou Xu to the group, showcasing the evidence related to the Wei family. Subsequently, she patiently awaited their reaction to this explosive news.
While waiting, Liao Ning’s Al received a call request from an unfamiliar account. After a brief hesitation, she answered the call. “Hello?”
A voice unfamiliar to Liao Ning emanated from the other end of the line. “Liao Ning, I’m Lin Wan, the wife of Wei Nan, the head of the Wei family. I have a proposition to discuss with you.” 𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂
Liao Ning felt a sense of surprise. “A deal?”
“I understand your desire to seek revenge on the Wei family and make them pay for what they did to your grandmother, Zhu Ying. I can assist you in exacting retribution on Wei Nan and the entire Wei family effortlessly. If you’re interested, I’ll be waiting for you at the Mingxing Coffee House in the capital tomorrow afternoon at three o’clock.”
Having said that, the other party promptly ended the call without any hesitation, seemingly indifferent to whether Liao Ning would accept the
invitation or not..
