Quan Yan was afraid of Quan Jingzhou. He could only give up and just glared at Chi Jiao warningly.

Quan Jue stared at Quan Jingzhou quietly. Sparks flew when their eyes met.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Mr. Quan looks good. You’ve finally resigned from the position of chairman. You don’t have to worry so much now. You give off a different vibe.” Quan Jue’s tone was neutral.

Quan Jingzhou gripped the wine glass tightly.

Quan Jue and Chi Jiao were indeed a pair. Their mouths were really vicious!

Quan Jingzhou was furious, but he looked very calm. “Thank you for your concern. Little Jue, I came specially to ask you for advice today. I want to know how you managed to attend the Xuan Sect’s banquet with your insignificant background. You don’t have an invitation, but you managed to sneak into the banquet. You must have put in a lot of effort, right?”

“Compared to Mr. Quan’s feat of causing the Quan Corporation to lose tens of billions of investment dollars, my little feat is nothing.” Quan Jue casually took a glass of red wine from the tray of a passing waiter and took a sip before smiling.

Quan Jingzhou’s expression changed drastically. He looked at him and suddenly thought of something. “You were the one who arranged for Yan Zhengchen and his gang to look for me? Quan Jue, you’re so capable.”

Quan Jue denied it. “Mr. Quan, you’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t the one who instructed them to withdraw their investments.”

“What? Quan Jue, you dared to do it but don’t dare to admit it?” Quan Jingzhou thought of the lousy stocks that Fu Shangchen had bought for him and was so angry that his eyes almost spewed fire.

Quan Jingzhou kept wondering why Yan Zhengchen and the other three families would suddenly invest in the Quan Corporation, only to suddenly go back on their word and withdraw their investments.

Now that he thought about it, apart from Quan Jue, who else had the ability to do something like this?

However, it wasn’t as if he hadn’t investigated him before. Quan Jue’s Feng Ting Company had been painstakingly built by him alone. If he had connections to people like Yan Zhengchen and the rest, how could Quan Jue be forced to the point where his company had no more cash flow?

The cold sweat on Quan Jingzhou’s back instantly flowed even more fiercely when he realized this.

Wait a minute. If Quan Jue and Fu Shangchen were acting previously, could everything have been fake from the beginning? Could it be that Feng Ting Company didn’t have a financial crisis? Everything was a false front set up by Quan Jue?

Quan Jingzhou immediately rejected this conjecture. No, that was impossible. How could Quan Jue hide from his eyes and come up with such a detailed plan to lure him into a trap?

“Quan Jue, my father is asking you a question. Why aren’t you answering? Are you feeling guilty?” Quan Yan wasn’t as calm as his father as he straightened his neck and questioned him.

“Mr. Quan, ask yourself honestly. You’ve offended so many people. Who doesn’t want to stab you in the back? I just happened to attack at the same time as that person.” Quan Jue hugged Chi Jiao’s slender and soft waist tightly.

“Who is he?” Quan Jingzhou looked at him. He knew very well that Quan Jue had insider information about that investment incident!

He wanted to see who could make the five families trick him together!

Chi Jiao’s eyes were filled with amusement upon seeing how anxious Quan Jingzhou was.

At this moment, someone called out from behind her.

“Jiaojiao, we’re here to have fun with you,” Shen Liao said enthusiastically, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

The handsome men and beautiful women of the five families were all outstanding figures among the younger generation. Yan Zhengchen, Yan Qingqing, Gong Yu, Chi Yexi, Shen Liao, and Gu Xia—everyone was an outstanding talent in their respective fields. Not only that, but they also had the five major families backing them. Coupled with their extraordinary auras, they didn’t look like they were here to attend a banquet at all. They looked more like a group of celebrities walking the red carpet.
