However, Lu Zhi was not a simple businessman from what he knew.
This person was extremely dangerous.
Many things in the world were related to him.
However, Lu Zhi kept a very low profile. It was completely different from his style of doing things. Lu Zhi rarely appeared in front of others and rarely accepted interviews. There was not a single photo of him online.
The Ninth Branch did have a photo of Lu Zhi, but it was only a half-body photo. It was an old photo from many years ago.
Why would such a dangerous person come to Beijing?
Moreover, he had not received any news of his arrival in the country.
Why did Lu Zhi suddenly come to Beijing?
A thousand thoughts flashed through Ye Wangchuan’s mind. In the blink of an eye, he saw the person coming in.
Wei Mingxuan accompanied the man. The man was very young, about 27 or 28 years old. His facial features weren’t particularly outstanding, but his eyes were beautiful, similar to Qiao Nian’s. They were like starlight slowly falling into the distant wilderness, giving off an amiable impression.
That was not even the point.
The point was that the man hadn’t walked in. He was in a wheelchair, pushed in by a bodyguard in black.
He had a checkered blanket draped over his legs, just about covering his legs.
Such an outstanding man looked especially out of place in a wheelchair!
It was as if a piece of porcelain had been snapped in half.
“F*ck, Lu Zhi is…”
Qin Si almost blurted out the word “cripple”.
He was mid-sentence when a hand tugged at him, just in time to interrupt him. “Why are you two here?”
Qin Si forgot what he wanted to say as he turned around and met the goddess’ dark eyes. Her emotions could not be seen.
He was stunned for a second before he reacted. “Ah, we came to see Old Master Wei off. Sister Qiao, why didn’t you tell us you were coming? We saved him together.”
“It was a last-minute decision.” Qiao Nian glanced casually in the direction of the person who had entered the room, but she didn’t seem to be looking at him. She calmly put her hands in her pockets and said to Qin Si, “I’m done paying my respects. Are you leaving?”
Her glance at Lu Zhi was very casual. Qin Si did not notice it at all, but Ye Wangchuan did.
He realized that Qiao Nian wasn’t the only one who had looked at him.
Lu Zhi seemed to be looking in their direction as well.
Moreover, he was not looking at him and Qin Si. His gaze was stubborn. At a glance, it was as if there was no one else in his eyes.
He only saw one person—Qiao Nian!
He subconsciously frowned and unobtrusively blocked that gaze. Qin Si, who was still dawdling and wanted to stay a little longer, said in a low voice, “Let’s go home.”

Qin Si looked at him in shock and touched the bridge of his nose. He didn’t understand why Master Wang was in a hurry to leave.
Wasn’t Lu Zhi here?
Didn’t Master Wang want to know what Lu Zhi was doing in Beijing?
However, since Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan had already said that they were leaving, there was no reason for him to stay behind alone. He followed behind the two of them and left.
Qiao Nian had no classes in the morning.
Thus, she returned to the Rhine Apartments with Ye Wangchuan.
Qin Si shamelessly stayed in the apartment.
Gu San was not around today. Ye Wangchuan seemed to have arranged something else for him. No one would make tea without him around.
Qiao Nian didn’t mind. When she returned, she opened the fridge and took out a bottle of cold mineral water. She unscrewed the cap and drank.
