Inside the VIP Room of Dihao Club.

Almost all the important and well-known personalities of Rainy City had gathered at this banquet, yet the atmosphere was not lively.

In the over a hundred square meters private room, the air was so quiet that you could almost hear a needle drop.

Even the waiters serving dishes were treading lightly, lest they disturb the man seated at the head of the table.

The man was clad in a crane-colored military uniform, his broad shoulders and narrow waist accentuated by a row of subtly patterned golden buttons, exuding an air of nobility. At that moment, he was looking down at his mobile phone, his handsome face slightly gloomy, and an aura as cold as Siberia radiated from him incessantly.

Chi Enen actually dared not to answer his phone!

Li Beijue was tapping his right hand on the table, occasionally taking out his mobile phone to check. As the dishes were almost all served and still not a single text message had come in, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed. He picked up his phone, wishing he could smash it to pieces. Yet, as he lifted it, he stopped himself. Slowly retracting his hand, he clenched his jaw and sent a text message to the only contact in his phone.

— ‘Did you go back?’

One minute went by.

Five minutes went by.

Fifteen minutes passed, and there was still no response from his phone, he abruptly stood up. His falcon-like eyes were full of a threatening air, “Manager, get over here!”

The Club Manager, upon receiving the news, hurried over in three quick steps, wiping off the sweat on his forehead and asked cautiously, “Master Jue, what can I do for you?”

“What’s going on, there’s no signal at all!”

No signal? Dihao Club was equipped with the most advanced global signal equipment, and the VIP Room, in particular, had the best signal. How could there be no signal?

Only then the Manager noticed the mobile phone in his hand. He checked his own phone, puzzled, and said, “The signal is full strength.”

“Impossible!” Li Beijue flatly denied, his eyes fierce, “If the signal is full, why am I not receiving any texts? Definitely, there is a problem with the signal!” How could that woman not reply to him!

He stubbornly believed that poor signal was the reason he hadn’t received any texts. The Manager had no choice but to go and check the signal equipment once more, also checking with others if their phones were working, only to receive answers like ‘yes, full signal.’ He returned to the VIP Room, wiping off the sweat of fear from his forehead, and told Li Beijue, “Master Jue, the signal is full strength, you can see…”

“It’s nothing, get out!” The air was laden with gunpowder!

The Manager gave him a look and did as he wished, opening the door of the VIP Room for him.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was quickly dropping to freezing point, Mayor Wang braced himself to stand up, trying to diffuse the situation with a forced smile, “What’s wrong, Young Master Jue, is there something urgent on your phone? If so, please use mine.”

Li Beijue’s face remained cold as he took his seat again, “No, thanks.”

Si Chen was also present at the banquet, seeing his friend’s grim face, he knew it probably had something to do with Chi Enen.

It looked like Chi Enen hadn’t replied to his messages.

Hadn’t they just moved in together yesterday? And they were having a conflict today?

Hah, interesting.

His fox-like eyes seemed to have found something amusing. He elegantly picked up his red wine glass, and a smile emerged, revealing a shallow dimple on the left side of his mouth. He tried to smooth things over, “I heard Mayor Wang’s performance evaluation was excellent this time, let’s raise a glass to the Mayor.”

“You’re too kind.”

Mayor Wang of Rainy City breathed a sigh of relief, gladly taking the offered lifeline and no longer pressing the issue. He then started to liven up the atmosphere at the dining table. His speech was humorous and engaging, and given his position, everyone was willing to show respect.. The air in the private room soon became lively…
