C113 Unintentional Eavesdropping

Ann Qianxi didn't expect to see both of them here at the same time.

Her heart was beating rapidly. She hesitated for a moment as to whether she should leave or stay behind to listen to what they had to say. In this kind of situation, eavesdropping could easily be discovered. Forget it, it was better to leave.

Just as he turned around, he heard a stern "How can you do this!" When the news came out, Ann Qianxi couldn't help but stop in her tracks. She bit her lips and decided to stay.

Outside the door, there was still some distance between the two of them. Ann Qianxi pressed her entire body against the door, holding her breath while only hearing some broken words.

These words were mostly said by Lei Jia.

Ann Qianxi only heard "I will stop you …" "This is all a conspiracy." What else was said, both of them were whispering to each other, unable to hear clearly.

Inside the room, Chi Shaojun listened coldly to what the other person said. He was not angry, nor did he explain anything. He only sneered and walked towards the door.

Ann Qianxi noticed Chi Shaojun walking over through the crack in the door and panicked. If Chi Shaojun found out that she was eavesdropping, it would make her shudder.

She saw a similarly unlocked room at the side. In a moment of desperation, she quickly ducked inside and didn't dare to make a sound. She didn't shut the door but instead observed the situation outside through the unlocked door.

Chi Shaojun walked out of Lei Jia's room and directly walked to the main hall.

Ann Qianxi let out a sigh of relief, but forgot that Lei Jia was still in the room. Just as she was about to open the door and leave, she didn't control her movements well and made a sound.

"Who's inside?" When Lei Jia's shaky voice came out, Ann Qianxi shivered.

"It's me." Ann Qianxi originally wanted to hide inside the door again, but Lei Jia was very fast. The moment she said that, he came in front of her. Since she didn't have a chance, she could only bite the bullet and say that to Lei Jia.

She thought Lei Jia wouldn't let her off just like that. He would definitely pull her to Chi Shaojun to explain everything.

But to Ann Qianxi's surprise, Lei Jia quickly calmed down. "I don't know how much you heard from our conversation just now."

Ann Qianxi originally wanted to find an excuse and explain to the other party that they were just passing by. Lei Jia waved his hand without waiting for her to speak, as if he didn't mind if she heard their conversation. What he said next caused Ann Qianxi to be even more stunned.

"Chi Shaojun shouldn't have walked this path because of benefits. He's risking his life, so it's a crime!" Lei Jia's voice was very low. It was obvious that he didn't want to arouse the interest of others. However, his mood was a bit agitated.

Ann Qianxi was not sure what the other party meant by those words. She was confused, but a voice in her heart was warning her not to continue listening.

"I don't know what you're going to say. If Mister Lei has nothing else to do, then I'll be leaving first. " Ann Qianxi saw the opportunity and was about to slip away, but she was grabbed by Lei Jia and forced to hear what she had to say.

"Miss Ann, I'm not joking." His eyes were especially sincere: "This fruit wine called bewitching can make people addicted, but now Chi Shaojun knows about this and doesn't stop selling it. To the buyers, this is simply a disguised drug abuse! "He knew that selling fruit wine not only resulted in a higher profit, but was also a crazy man for money.

"Director Chi would not do such a thing." Ann Qianxi subconsciously spoke up for Chi Shaojun. She didn't know where she got the courage to go against Lei Jia.

"Heh." Lei Jia's mouth curled up slightly. He wasn't too angry about the collision, but continued to explain: "All of this, we still have to wait for Miss Ann to find the contract and then the truth will come out. Miss Ann will know that I'm not lying."

Ann Qianxi didn't know what to say nor did she want to continue tangling with Lei Jia. Just as she was about to leave, Lei Jia's voice sounded again behind her.

"Miss Ann, don't leave from that direction. If you go back to the hall now, you might bump into Chi Shaojun. I don't even want to run into him at this time."

"Then I can't stay here forever either. What should I do if Director Chi finds out that I'm not here?" Ann Qianxi frowned, not knowing what Lei Jia's intentions were.

"Go that way." He did not explain any further and pointed to the road behind him.

Helpless, Ann Qianxi followed Lei Jia's instructions and returned to the hall. At this moment, Chi Shaojun had already discovered that Ann Qianxi was not around and was searching for her during the banquet.

"Director Chi, where did you go?" Why didn't I see you just now? "

Ann Qianxi was not stupid. She was afraid that Chi Shaojun would suspect that there was some special reason behind her disappearance, so she decided to strike first.

Chi Shaojun turned around and saw Ann Qianxi behind him. He frowned slightly and said, "I was busy just now, Qianxi. Why aren't you in the hall? Where did you go?"

"I... I just came back from the bathroom. " She smiled awkwardly and blinked under Chi Shaojun's direct gaze, avoiding his gaze.

"The washroom?" Chi Shaojun muttered. He looked at the direction Ann Qianxi appeared in, but it was the opposite of the washroom.

"Is that so?" Chi Shaojun didn't expose her lies and smiled gently at her.

When Ann Qianxi left his side and returned to the social meetup, Chi Shaojun walked up to Wang Ge and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where Miss Ann went?"

Previously Ann Qianxi said that she wanted to go find Chi Shaojun. Now that Director Chi asked this question, Wang Ge felt a little strange. However, he didn't say anything. "Miss Ann went to find you and went to the other side of the tunnel."

"Passages?" Chi Shaojun had a bad premonition. If Ann Qianxi really went, how come they didn't meet?

Or perhaps she was hiding from him, hiding in the shadows, so that he could not discover her.

"What is this girl trying to do?" Chi Shaojun said in his heart. At this point, he couldn't underestimate her anymore. In the future, he could only make Wang Ge be more cautious and pay more attention to her every move.

"Keep an eye on Miss Ann. No matter where she goes, you must follow her and report to me in time." Chi Shaojun instructed.

Wang Ge nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this moment, the lights in the banquet suddenly dimmed. The only light came from Lei Jia, who was on the stage.

He held up a cup of wine and politely greeted the people below the stage. Then, he lowered his voice and said with an alluring smile, "From today onwards, our Lei Family will officially be investing in Xucheng. Everyone, please take care of me."

The applause from the audience was thunderous, but it was mixed with the incessant discussion from the audience.
