The place where they got out was not far from the investment presentation venue, so Nan Zhi and Xia Xi walked the rest of the way.
All along the road, Xia Xi kept cursing Bai Weiwei.
Seeing that Xia Xi was firmly on her side and did not think she had done anything wrong, Nan Zhi asked, “Xiao Xi, do you think I was too ruthless?”
Xia Xi shook her head resolutely. “You only poured a little into Bai Weiwei’s drink. That was already exceptionally merciful. If you hadn’t noticed something was wrong and had drunk the entire glass, your throat would have been completely ruined.”
With her throat destroyed, forget being a streamer—even ordinary life would have become difficult.
Although society had progressed, a mute person would still face varying degrees of discrimination when going out.
Someone with a weaker constitution might be unable to accept having their voice destroyed and could even choose to take their own life.
The thought alone made Xia Xi shudder.
Nan Zhi knitted her brows. “Why would Bai Weiwei do this? She has a powerful backer at the presentation, and I’m no threat to her...” Could Nan Yao have ordered her to do it?
“Wow, wow, wow! He’s so handsome! So incredibly handsome!”
Xia Xi’s exaggerated exclamation broke Nan Zhi’s train of thought. Nan Zhi blinked and followed Xia Xi’s gaze toward the parking lot outside the exhibition center.

Several Rolls-Royce Phantoms pulled in one after another and came to a stop, their imposing presence and grand procession astonishing.
Dozens of bodyguards dressed in black stepped out of the cars and formed two orderly lines with military precision.
The door of the Phantom in the center opened, and several impeccably dressed men in suits emerged one after another.
Nan Zhi’s gaze settled on the man at the front.
He wore a pure black, entirely bespoke suit, with a long overcoat draped over his shoulders. His perfectly pressed trousers outlined a pair of long, powerful legs, while one hand rested in his trouser pocket. His tall, straight figure was more upright than a pine or cypress.
Beneath his neat, jet-black hair was a handsome face that seemed like a masterpiece painstakingly created by heaven itself. His features were deep and sharply defined, as though carved by a sculptor—so perfect they were almost unbelievable.
The moment he stood there, everyone around him seemed reduced to background scenery. An aura of superiority radiated from him, as though he were a king surveying the world, compelling people to bow their heads and submit.
“Sister Zhi, that man is even more handsome than a celebrity. My goodness, is he a sponsor too? He must be unbelievably rich, right?” Xia Xi excitedly pinched Nan Zhi’s arm. “He’s absolutely overflowing with charisma! My god, I want his autograph so badly!”
“Sister Zhi, Sister Zhi, look quickly! Another handsome man just got out of the car. My goodness, he’s so flamboyant.”
Nan Zhi saw Lan Yanzhi step out of the car. He was dressed in a fitted royal-blue suit, a pair of sunglasses perched on his strikingly beautiful, almost devilishly handsome face, the usual wicked smile curling at the corners of his lips.
The two of them had barely appeared before they attracted everyone’s attention.

Seeing them walking toward her and Xia Xi, Nan Zhi took hold of Xia Xi’s hand, whose gaze had become fixed on them, and said softly, “Let’s go inside.”
Nan Zhi was not surprised to see Mu Sihan here.
That night, she had accidentally answered his phone. The person on the other end had asked him to become the exclusive title sponsor.
Nan Zhi led Xia Xi into the lobby.
The investment presentation was being held on the third floor, so the two of them walked to the elevators and waited.
A short while later, Lin Wanyue’s amused voice came from behind them. “Young Master Mu, Young Master Lan, you’re here.”
When Xia Xi heard Lin Wanyue’s voice, she leaned close to Nan Zhi’s ear and whispered gossipingly, “With Lin Wanyue’s qualifications, she could never have become the leading woman at the television station. I heard long ago that she had powerful connections. I always thought she was having an affair with the station director, but judging by today’s events, perhaps her real backer is that incredibly cool and handsome Young Master Mu!”
