Chapter 712 - Ratting out
Meanwhile, Linfeng went to the private kitchen bar in the office and made the guests some refreshments and snacks.
Tang Yin's eyes were musing as she began to mutter away. "I can't believe I am seeing the Guan brothers here. Are we still going to talk about the plan on bringing down the Titan? But the Guan family has less power now. What could be their mission now? I hope they can take away my baggage of catching drug addicts and dealers instead."??
Lu Yin Ze's brows frowned at Tang Yin's endless words. His usually gentle face became stern again. "Quiet."
Tang Yin shut her mouth, not because of Lu Yin Ze stopping her, but because the two brothers from the Guan family glanced at her.
Ugh, her mouth. Her voice was not too loud, was it?
Haha, forget it. Their bodies are reinforced with Qigong so they definitely heard me. Let's just pretend that nothing happened.
Tang Yin began acting innocent, which was her specialty.
Xiong Zhi ignored their little scene and invited everyone to sit down.
When they were all settled, she began to open the discussion.
"Thank you for coming early this morning. The reason that brought all of us together is because of one person. Ming Zhi Yi."
Tang Yin raised her hand. "Except for me."
The two Guan brothers looked at her in surprise.
They were curious about what the second young miss of the Tang family came here for. If not because she was targeted by Ming Zhi Yi, then why was she here?
Another question for them was Lu Yin Ze.
He was the son of Ming Zhi Yi, so what was he doing here?
Was it really okay to talk about this confidential matter with these two around?
Xiong Zhi sighed. She clearly saw the doubt in the eyes of the Guan brothers due to the existence of Tang Yin and Lu Yin Ze.
"All right, I will give you a brief overview. The Guan family's recent demise was a scheme plotted by Gunan, who was Ming Zhi Yi's subordinate. That is why Guan Gu Ri and Guan Xixin are here."
Tang Yin and Lu Yin Ze were stunned.
They have seen the news and knew that they were credible because the heads of their family believed them. They attended the Guan family's memorial funeral as well.
But they were saying that those unfortunate things which happened in the Guan family were all because of Ming Zhi Yi?
It was too much to take in without changing one's expression.
"Lu Yin Ze is here because of family issues. Ming Zhi Yi did not only target the Xiong and the Guan families. I believe his ultimate purpose is to bring down the Lu family with us. It is a long story and Lu Yin Ze can tell you more about it in another time."
While she spoke, the gentleness slowly disappeared in Lu Yin Ze's demeanor and was replaced with a faint aura of antipathy.
Just the mention of it always made him lose his composure.
The Guan brothers were again shocked beyond words.
Family issues?
It sounded so simple, but the way that Lu Yin Ze reacted to those words before them told them that it was not that simple.
However, how could they ask Lu Yin Ze these obviously s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e subjects? They decided to just trust Xiong Zhi and Linfeng.
Tang Yin shook her head and muttered, "This stone-faced woman is always ruthless with words."
"And this woman..." Xiong Zhi pointed at Tang Yin casually. "She is just nosy and wants to be useful, that is why she is here."
"What? I don't just want to be useful. And I am definitely not nosy. Did you forget? I got 'dragged' here in your matters." Tang Yin emphasized. "Because I was so kind and owed a small debt to Lu Yin Ze, I got submerged in deep waters. Now, I am playing and singing for drug addicts."
The two Guan brothers: ….What really happened in this group? Was it really okay to trust them?
Xiong Zhi ignored Tang Yin and turned to the two brothers.
"She is from the Tang family and is allied with the Lu family right now due to a favor. Anyways, the Tang family can be trusted." She put her hand on the table. "To sum it up, we gathered here with the sole purpose of bringing down our common enemy, Ming Zhi Yi."
The two Guan brothers seriously nodded.
"Three days from now, IAmFashionista will take place. Based on our investigations, we believe that this event will not be like any other. It is because the elected head of the organization is Ming Zhi Yi."
Everyone in the room except for Linfeng had grave faces.
This was not good news for them, considering how far and deeply entrenched the roots of the organization was globally.
"So it is very important to attend the event. All of our families have the ability to do so. Right now, I will be giving you information and a mission to do on that day."
Xiong Zhi's determined eyes and confident voice reached their ears. She was the leader of the group giving tasks to her members.
Everyone at the table was a leader of their own. It would be offensive to take orders from another leader, however, in Xiong Zhi's case, it was not like that at all.
Perhaps because it was Xiong Zhi who had brought them together and had the most initiative, they felt that it was natural.
Also, out of all people here from the legendary families, Xiong Zhi's heir training was the most wholesome and comprehensive compared to the others.
Tang Yin never had it.
Lu Yin Ze was still starting.
Thus, Xiong Zhi possessed the greatest air of true leadership among them.
Except for Linfeng, of course, who seamlessly assumed the role of a butler at the moment.
The people at the table looked at Xiong Zhi with seriousness, waiting for her to assign tasks.
Xiong Zhi distributed several doc.u.ments as support.
"Since it is now Ming Zhi Yi's organization, many people who would be there might be the pawns he hid. And we will rat them out."
