Bai Xiaosheng is confronted by a group who falsely accuse him of assault, intending to ruin his reputation. Just as the situation escalates, Chen Feiqiu arrives and quickly disperses the troublemakers. Chen Feiqiu then invites Bai Xiaosheng to meet a friend, arranging for them to leave the banquet.

How is this possible? What kind of background does this person possess! Could he truly be the son of the Nation's Chieftain, the very future Chieftain himself?!

Bai Xiaosheng gazed meaningfully at Chen Feiqiu.

"Stop looking at me like that; I'm genuinely just a guest here," Chen Feiqiu stated, pulling Bai Xiaosheng along as they headed straight for the exit.

In the distance, Prince Hadu appeared to witness this interaction but remained silent, turning instead to converse with other dignitaries.

Chen Feiqiu escorted Bai Xiaosheng away from the bustling banquet hall and then guided him towards Wen Yu.

En route, Bai Xiaosheng discreetly retrieved his phone, engaging in the act of deleting something.

"What are you doing?" Chen Feiqiu inquired, his curiosity piqued.

Bai Xiaosheng offered no pretense, confessing, "It’s a recording of how they were trying to frame me earlier."

"Well, well," Chen Feiqiu clicked his tongue in appreciation, "So, you were prepared for such a contingency."

Bai Xiaosheng managed a wry smile, "It’s a last resort. Should I be forced to use it, it signifies deep trouble."

Chen Feiqiu simply shrugged in response.

"By the way, just who exactly are you? A 'guest' with such a commanding presence?"

Bai Xiaosheng, though initially hesitant to pry, found his curiosity overwhelming, compelling him to ask Chen Feiqiu.

"Just pay our household a visit sometime as a guest, and you shall discover my identity. Oh, but that's not of immediate importance," Chen Feiqiu indicated, clearly having more pressing matters to address with Bai Xiaosheng. "The individual I'm escorting you to meet is, in fact, a member of your own group."

Chen Feiqiu's declaration sent a jolt of surprise through Bai Xiaosheng.

"You're taking me to meet someone from our group?" Bai Xiaosheng questioned, his interest piqued. "Did someone else from our ranks arrive but find themselves unable to enter the banquet hall?"

"He simply doesn't wish to," Chen Feiqiu replied nonchalantly.

Those four simple words carried an immense weight of unspoken information.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng was inwardly astonished.

Chen Feiqiu had opted for the phrase 'doesn't wish to' as opposed to 'isn't qualified.'

The way it was stated implied that the individual in question was quite extraordinary!

One must consider, even if Brown himself were to appear, he wouldn't dare claim he wasn't attending the Prince's banquet, would he!

Who could possibly possess such elevated status!

Bai Xiaosheng couldn't suppress his astonishment. "Our group actually has a figure of such standing?!"

Observing that the suite lay just ahead, and pressed for time, Chen Feiqiu quickly stated, "Wen Yu. You surely must have heard of this name, correct? He favors employing this particular moniker."

Wen Yu?

The moment the name was uttered, Bai Xiaosheng faltered.

He had only ever heard of Wen Yan, the enigmatic and formidable head of the Headquarters' Inspection Department! Remarkably young, yet holding a position that equaled, or perhaps even surpassed, that of the group's deputy director!

Could Wen Yu be Wen Yan's brother?

Why had Wen Yan never mentioned him before? Nor had anyone else?

Bai Xiaosheng desired to probe further, but his attention was drawn to two imposing figures obstructing the path ahead. He peered closer.

The individuals barring their way were two burly bodyguards, their physiques exuding strength and power, akin to formidable beasts.

Their demeanor was cold and imposing.

Bai Xiaosheng’s senses immediately heightened, reacting instinctively.

If Lei Ying were to lay eyes on these two, he would undoubtedly be 'delighted' and eager for a confrontation. Even without meeting the host, one could discern the exceptional nature of those guarding the entrance merely by observing these two bodyguards.

While Bai Xiaosheng observed the guards, they in turn observed Chen Feiqiu, casting a fleeting glance at Bai Xiaosheng, before tacitly stepping aside.

Their movement was merely a prearranged maneuver.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze shifted to the door directly ahead.

It appeared the person he was about to encounter was situated within.

"We have arrived. You will understand once you step inside," Chen Feiqiu gestured towards the entrance.

Having spoken, he halted his advance.

"Why aren't you coming in?" Bai Xiaosheng inquired, his curiosity resurfacing.

Chen Feiqiu shook his head. "I gave him my word that you would meet him alone."

Despite lingering doubts, Bai Xiaosheng recognized the impossibility of further questioning in the current circumstances. He simply offered a nod and proceeded towards the door.

As his hand reached for the doorknob, Bai Xiaosheng paused momentarily, a subtle yet profound premonition washing over him—

This encounter with Wen Yu is destined to alter the course of many things!
