Tang Yutong walked with her thin high heels, feeling increasingly agitated.
Did she forget to check the almanac before going out today?
She held back her anger and looked up to see Mo Jin in a suit, naturally not in a good mood.
"If there's nothing, I'll go back first."
Without waiting for Mo Jin to speak, Tang Yutong turned and left without looking back. She had endured enough...
Mo Jin frowned, and the several CEOs who were still flattering him promptly fell silent, not daring to disturb him any further.
Ye Nan was waiting outside the hall and was slightly surprised to see only Tang Yutong coming out alone.
He was about to go up and greet her when he received a call from Mo Jin. The man's voice was slightly hoarse, and he gave a simple and clear order, "Take her back."
The temperature outside was not as warm as in the hall, and Tang Yutong shivered fiercely.
She finally came out!
"Don't follow me, I'll walk alone." Tang Yutong glanced at Ye Nan standing aside, took a deep breath, and added calmly, "Tell Mr. Mo that this is my personal time, and he can't interfere."
Tang Yutong walked into the dark night without looking back, leaving Ye Nan alone in the wind.
He couldn't afford to offend anyone, but how was he going to explain to his own CEO?
Ye Nan could only grit his teeth and repeat Tang Yutong's words to Mo Jin on the phone. He felt a chill down his spine when he didn't get a response for a long time. After all, he had let his wife go...
"Beep beep beep--"
The hurried ending rang out, and it was only then that Ye Nan came back to his senses, sighing as he stared at his black-screened phone.
In fact, the CEO was concerned about the young madam, but these two were like enemies, always quarreling.
Mo Jin collected his phone coldly, his face expressionless.
Ha, impressive!
Tang Yutong, who left the banquet, didn't know where to go. The Tang family's villa had long been sealed off, and she was now wearing a plain white evening dress, which stood out in the dim night. She couldn't just keep wandering around on the street.
She left in a hurry and suddenly remembered that she had not brought anything with her.
Tang Yutong remembered that the nearest bar was not far away. She urgently needed a glass of whiskey to calm herself down.
The Night Bar was mostly frequented by the sons and daughters of the rich."Miss, this way please."
The service attendant was a quick-witted person. Seeing her expensive dress, he immediately arranged a private booth for Tang Yutong and was very respectful.
Tang Yutong rolled her eyes and thought that she could just ask Ye Nan to pay later. She immediately relaxed and said, "Give me a glass of whiskey, make it strong."
The drink was quickly served, and Tang Yutong tilted her head back and took a sip, squinting her eyes.
The bar was relatively quiet, and Tang Yutong thought so. Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest for a while, she felt a black figure darting in. Tang Yutong immediately became alert and stared at the person.
The person had just rushed into her booth and hurriedly hid behind the curtain.
The way he was covered up was very tight, not only wearing a mask and sunglasses, but also dressed in inconspicuous black clothes, which didn't look like he was here to have fun.
It seemed like trouble was coming. Within a few minutes, the bouncers from several bars had surrounded their table and began searching them one by one. Screams and curses could be heard, but Tang Yutong sat up straight, her voice casual. "You can't escape," she said.
Tang Yutong was no fool. She knew that the reason why Nightfall had a monopoly on the bar business in A city was because of the support of a certain force behind them, and the people Nightfall was after were in her booth.
This meant that once they found her, she would be implicated as well!
"You help me, and there will be benefits for you," the person said. Tang Yutong raised an eyebrow when she heard the voice. It was actually a woman.
"What benefits?" Tang Yutong asked with interest, staring at the group of people who were about to search their booth.
Obviously, the person was getting anxious.
She gritted her teeth, pulled off her mask, and stared at Tang Yutong. "I'm Bai Zhiyue. As long as you help me, I can give you whatever you want."
Bai family's young miss?
Tang Yutong frowned. Although she had never met this person before, she had heard of the name Bai Zhiyue in the circle. "How do I know you're really Bai Zhiyue?" Tang Yutong pursed her lips, feeling nervous. If the person in front of her was really the young miss of the Bai family, she had heard that the Bai family had also dabbled in the underworld in the past. It was hard to say whether the people outside were enemies or not...
Bai Zhiyue rolled her eyes and said, "Won't you ask them later?"
Before she could even finish her sentence, the servant who had led the group earlier had already approached the booth. He exchanged a few words with someone outside before walking in.
Tang Yutong took a sip of her drink, concealing her emotions. "I'm sorry, miss," the man said in a relatively friendly tone. "Our boss is looking for a woman, so we'll have to delay you for a few minutes. Let my men come in and search."
"I haven't seen anyone," Tang Yutong replied calmly, though her heart was racing. She regretted not bringing Ye Nan with her. If she was caught hiding her enemy, she could be charged with a crime. She swallowed hard and forced herself to stay calm.
"We have surveillance cameras here," the man said, sensing her unease. "We'll find out sooner or later."
"If you can't keep your own place secure, why should I be bothered?" Tang Yutong retorted coldly.
The man grew more aggressive. "If we find out later that you're lying, we won't be so polite."
Tang Yutong had no idea if her bluff would work, but she had to try. She thought about the Mo family's status in A City and decided to mention Mo Jin. "Open your eyes wide. I'm Mo Jin's woman. If you want trouble, make sure you have enough lives to spare."
She watched the man's face for any reaction and saw a hint of surprise and hesitation. She breathed a small sigh of relief.
"I said I haven't seen anyone. Now get out," she said, downing her glass of whisky in one gulp. The sound of the glass hitting the table was crisp and clear.
The servant looked at her apologetically and quickly bowed before leaving with his men.
After everyone had left, Tang Yutong finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that she had recently given Mo Jin a bad look, and now she had to use Mrs. Mo's identity to get away with it.
Tang Yutong looked at the woman who walked out from behind the curtain. There was a hint of blush on her fair cheeks, and she sat down next to Tang Yutong, gasping for breath.
Could this girl be deceiving herself?
