chapter 9

The next morning, Lu Ding Ning and Lu Guo Hua had breakfast together.

Lu Ding Ning ate leisurely, while giving a sense of elegance and nobility that ordinary people did not have.

Even Lu Guo Hua felt that the way she ate was very pleasing to the eye.

“Ning…….”

Lu Ding Ning was enjoying her food to her heart’s content when Lu Guo Hua suddenly called her.

“Huh?” shifting her concentration from the food to her father, Lu Ding Ning raised her head.

“Tonight, Trono Group is hosting a charity gala. Take the invitation card, you’ll be attending the gala in my stead.”

Lu Guo Hua handed her a gold embellished invitation card.

Barely glancing at it, Lu Ding Ning accepted the invitation.

At the mention of “Trono Group” by Lu Guo Hua, she had felt like it rang a bell as she tried to recall where she had heard of it before.

Just as Lu Ding Ning was pondering over this, Lu Guo Hua had already spelled out the answer: “Take advantage of the charity gala and find an opportunity to make contact with Zong Ji Ze again.”

She finally knew where the inexplicable sense of familiarity came from.

Even if there were a thousand people who were unwilling to contact Zong Ji Ze again, Lu Ding Ning, unfortunately, had no choice but to comply with her father’s order.

Because she promised to help her father, Lu Guo Hua, to protect RM and she thought that her brother’s disappearance was related to the young master of the Zong Family, she had to meet Zong Ji Ze again.

Trono Mobile, the current number one mobile phone brand in the world that had countless companies line up to collaborate with them in their various projects.

Therefore, Lu Ding Ning suspected that another cause for her brother’s disappearance was related to the competition among business rivals for the opportunity to collaborate with Trono Mobile.

If given the opportunity, the Jin Family, who also developed chatting software and a major rival of RM, would take the risk to kidnap or assassinate her brother if it meant RM would collapse.

There was also the possibility that this matter was done by Trono Mobile’s rivals who sought to sabotage Trono’s projects by removing their partners.

Who knows, the plot could have even been planned and executed by Zong Ji Ze himself.

It was just that Lu Ding Ning, having just arrived in the Imperial City, hadn’t had the opportunity to scout RM’s competition yet. With how things were going, it seemed that investigating Zong Ji Ze’s side first would be her next step. Depending on how things pan out, she might even be able to investigate RM’s rivals more through with this method…

Therefore even if there wasn’t the charity gala organised by Trono Mobile, she would still find an opportunity to make contact with Zong Ji Ze.

Having just entered the lobby of the hotel where the Trono Group was holding the charity gala, Ruan Xi Yuan began to speak in a low voice and inform Lu Ding Ning of the extent of the previous discussions, and the things that she would need to take note of.

“Got it.” After Lu Ding Ning responded, she looked up and looked around.

“Going to the bathroom again? Didn’t you just………”

Naturally, Ruan Xi Yuan knew that some things couldn’t be mentioned so directly.

Actually, Lu Ding Ning just wanted to go to the bathroom to make sure that her “package” was fitted correctly.

Usually, there wasn’t too much attention on her, so she didn’t place too much importance on it.

But in an event like today’s charity gala, where she needed to pass fish eyes for pearls and convince everyone that she was Lu Yi Ning. A slight misstep was all it took before it blew itself into an enormous problem.

Therefore, Lu Ding Ning, who had already set her sights on the restroom, took a quick step towards the restroom without saying a word to Ruan Xi Yuan.

In the stall of the men’s restroom, Lu Ding Ning quickly tucked the soft orb into her crotch. After making sure there was no mistake, she put on her pants and walked quickly out of the restroom.

To Lu Ding Ning’s surprise, while she was still wondering how to get in touch with Zong Ji Ze, Zong Ji Ze had actually shown up!

Moreover, Zong Ji Ze was standing in front of the urinal ….

What she expected even less was that Zong Ji Ze’s sense of awareness was just too exceptional.

She had barely stared at him for a few seconds before she found Zong Ji Ze’s black pupils, sweeping towards her.

The moment their eyes met, Lu Ding Ning found herself inexplicably panicking….

Although she was accustomed to assuming the identity of a male, she was still female. In addition, she seldom went to the public restrooms in F country. Today’s experience was something that she had never encountered before.

Embarrassed, Lu Ding Ning hurriedly shifted her gaze down.

But with this one shift, her eyes took aim at Zong Ji Ze’s ……

It was as if Lu Ding Ning’s gaze was poisonous, Zong Ji Ze who was being stared at, quickly tidied himself.

Lu Ding Ning, who was looking at Zong Ji Ze’s frantically tidying himself, suddenly muttered, ”What are you afraid of? It’s not like I have a ruler with me!”

As soon as the words fell, Zong Ji Ze, who had finished arranging his clothes, suddenly took a quick step towards Lu Ding Ning.

His shot was fast, hard and accurate!

With a single move, he pinched Lu Ding Ning’s slender neck.

Like a ferocious beast eyeing it’s prey

“The words you said previously, what were the meaning of them?”
