"Miss Leng, please speak. If I can help, I will consider it." Ji Mufeng pondered for a moment before speaking calmly.

"Young Master Ji, please take me in. I am willing to work for the Ji Clan, but Young Master Ji, please give me a place to stay."

Leng Ning's words had truly shocked the crowd in the room. Although she was just a cousin of the Leng Clan, it didn't change the fact that she was a daughter of a noble family. To remain in the Ji Clan with such an identity, no matter how one looked at it, wasn't really reasonable.

Ji Mufeng's lips formed a straight line, and he coldly asked: "Miss Leng, do you know what you're saying?"

Leng Ning bowed her head, her voice firm. "I know."

"I can't agree to this request. Please go back." In the end, Ji Mufeng rejected Leng Ning.

"I..." Leng Ning raised her head, looking at Ji Mufeng with a stubborn gaze, as though she wanted to say something.

"Young Master, the Madam wants you to go down to eat." Wang Ma knocked on the door again and entered.

"Alright." Ji Mufeng agreed as he glanced at Leng Ning, "Miss Leng, why don't you eat a meal before leaving?"

"I know about the initial smoke." Leng Ning's words didn't seem right, but they successfully caused Ji Mufeng to turn around.

Ji Mufeng gazed at Leng Ning for a long time, before he lightly spoke, "Let's eat first, we'll talk later."

Leng Ning knew that Ji Mufeng agreed.

After dinner, Ji Mufeng took a deep look at Jiang Ning, and told Wang Ma to prepare the guest room for Jiang Ning to stay in, before bringing the others back to the study room.

"Idiot, idiot!" What do I raise you for?! Do you want to eat for free? " Leng Ye casually picked up an ashtray and threw it down. There were a group of people standing below, and they did not dare to dodge Leng Ye's anger, because they knew that if they did, they would be punished.

The ashtray smashed into the leader's head, causing blood to flow down from his forehead. Leng Ye looked at the blood on the man's forehead, and did not know why, but he suddenly calmed down a little.

"Bai Yue, go down and bandage your head."

"Yes." Bai Yue left respectfully.

"Go and call out the entire city's surveillance cameras. Look at them one by one and bring back the young lady with the watch."

"Yes sir!"

"Let's disperse."

As if they had received amnesty, everyone left in less than a minute.

Bai Yue did some simple bandaging in the medical room. The wound wasn't very deep, and some broken pieces of glass were stuck in the wound. After bandaging it up, Bai Yue drove back to her apartment.

Bai Yue took off her jacket and casually threw it on the sofa, thinking of Leng Ye's behavior. She gnashed her teeth, "Leng Ye, don't be arrogant. Wait until I replace you. We will settle these debts one by one."

Bai Yue was the hall master of the First Smoke Hall, and was very ambitious. She didn't know how she couldn't be compared to Leng Ye, so why couldn't he replace her?

No, he could, one day he could replace the cold night, and then the first smoke would grow.

"Miss Leng, let's first talk about how many chips you have." Ji Mufeng wasn't a long-winded person, so he went straight to the point and stated his purpose for coming here.

"Then, Mr. Ji, what kind of payment can you give me?" Leng Ning looked more like a daughter of heaven.

"Protect."

Leng Ning took in a deep breath. "All the seats in the branch halls, the contact details, and the method of communication … I'm Leng Ye's cousin as well."

The last condition was like a giant boulder being thrown into a pond, causing huge splashes.

Leng Ning had never doubted Leng Ye's words before, but this time, she started to pay attention to this matter. After searching through a lot of information, she realized that the cigarette wasn't what she thought it was.

The initial smoke was a place that specialized in buying and selling people, then conducted all sorts of experiments, especially human experiments. No wonder Leng Ye always wanted to cut down on his company. If he wanted to pack up those things, it would probably take some effort.

At the same time, she also remembered why she felt that Ji Ruxue was so familiar. It was because she was also one of the patients mentioned by Leng Ye. That time when she went to deliver food to Leng Ye, it was probably because of the lack of time.

From afar, she looked like a skeleton covered in human skin that hadn't seen the light for a long time, causing her skin to become abnormally pale and her eyes to become bloodshot. When she looked at herself, it was originally a small matter of time before they parted, but Ji Ruxue had already used all her strength to pounce towards her.

Fortunately, the people beside had reacted in time and stunned Ji Ruxue with the electric shock gun. Seeing that Ji Ruxue had been carried away, Leng Ning sat on the ground, her legs turning soft. She breathed in large mouthfuls of fresh air until the cold night came.

She had been in a trance all that day, and at that moment she had wondered if the cold night was doing something unusual, but the cold night had told him that the girl was a psychopath whose parents had been killed by her enemies, and that she had stayed with her parents for a week before they had found her, and that was how it had been when they had brought her back.

Leng Ning remembered those red eyes from countless nights ago.

Thus, she went to see that child many times. In the beginning, that child was driven mad, roared, and rejected. However, after Leng Ning's unremitting efforts, that child finally slowly accepted her.

But when she found out one day that the child had disappeared, the cold night told her that the child had suffered from anorexia not long ago and had been sent to another place to be treated.

So that's Ji Ruxue. No wonder when I saw her at school, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her.

Ji Mufeng lowered his head and looked at the table, "Miss Leng, I will arrange a place for you to stay. Every day, I will send someone to take you to teach Ruxue."

"Thank you, then I'll take my leave first."

After Leng Ning left, the room quieted down once again. Ji Mufeng took out his phone and typed a short message before sending it to Leng Ning. A car was parked in front of him.

"Miss Leng, the Young Master wants us to send you to your residence."

"Okay, thanks." Leng Ning entered the carriage without any hesitation. This was the entrance to the Ji Clan, she wasn't afraid of anyone conspiring against her. She believed that people like Ji Mufeng wouldn't allow such a thing to happen in front of their own doors.

"Let's get down to business."

"Huh?" After Leng Ning left, Gu Wanyang regained his composure and lay down on the sofa with his legs crossed on the coffee table, acting sloppy. "You haven't talked about proper business after all this time. I thought Leng Ning's appearance was part of your plan."

Ji Mufeng disdainfully rolled his eyes at Gu Tianyang, "I'm preparing to let Ru Xue attend NC's secret training."

"No way!" A person pushed open the door and firmly said.
