To Love You Again

Chapter 567 - The True Purpose of the Event

Chapter 567 - The True Purpose of the Event

In a lavish room, Mistress Tang stood at the foot of the bed with a deep frown on her face. She gazed at the old person on the bed, before turning to speak to Lu Yin Ze who was holding his grandfather's hand.

"The doctor said that your grandfather will be fine after resting. You don't have to worry too much." Mistress Tang could clearly see Lu Yin Ze's trembling hand.

"Yes. Thank you for accompanying us, Mistress Tang. I may be bold to ask for a favor. Can you please let my grandfather rest here for a while until he wakes up?"

"Of course. He could spend the night here."

"Thank you very much. I would also like to stay here by his side."

"Very well. I will leave some of my men for protection."

When Lu Yin Ze heard her words, his shoulders trembled slightly.

Protection and safety were what he needed the most at this time, knowing that the devil was here.

"Thank you. The Lu family will never forget this kindness."

"Don't take it to account. You and your grandfather are my guests after all." And it was partially her responsibility.

Mistress Tang could only pat his shoulder before walking out of the room. When the door closed, Mistress Tang's eyes turned cold.

"Show yourselves."

Three men in different uniforms appeared and kneeled in front of her.

"We failed you, Master." The three said simultaneously.

"How did he notice your presence?"

"Everything is normal. The target did not appear to notice us. There is no change in their positions until the second song. His companion suddenly vanished from the table."

One of the men wearing a waiter suit continued. "I followed his companion but the other man was skilled in qigong as well, so I have to maintain my distance and did not see whom he was meeting--"

"I asked you how he noticed you." Mistress Tang said each word coldly.

The three fell quiet before speaking again

"We are not really aware when he had noticed of us."

Mistress Tang frowned.

The purpose of this event was to watch the actions Ming Zhi Yi would take. According to what she had investigated before, Ming Zhi Yi was gathering signatures from various people who were part of the organization. Thus, he invited all VVIPs in the organization to observe who was in cahoots with Ming Zhi Yi and what their goal was in gathering the signatures of these people.

The only similarities with them was that they had great influences in their own industries, and they had all been part of the same organization, IAmFashionista.

However, what did Ming Zhi Yi plan with these certain people?

What was his purpose?

Mistress Tang gritted her teeth. "I told you to watch him closely to see whom he and his company would be meeting, and whom he talk to or exchanged greetings with. Yet you're giving me nothing?"

Was the goal of this event fruitless?

The one who was wearing a butler suit and were silent all this time finally spoke. "I... may have findings."

All eyes moved to him.

"When I was watching closely the target's table and everyone else's tables, I remembered who were the people who left the hall at the time when target's companion vanished."

"Who are they?"

"They were Mr. Eitan Abromich and Sir Zhou Linfeng, respectively."

Mistress Tang's eyebrow rose.

She did not doubt Zhou Linfeng. He knew that child's character since long ago.

It was likely a meeting between Eitan Abromich and Lu Jin.

"And on the second time the target's companion disappeared towards the hallway leading to the restroom, he had chances to meet with three people."

"Go on."

"It was Mr. Shinichi Tanaka, Mr. William Grand, and Young Master Lu Yin Ze."

Mistress Tang instantly crossed out Lu Yin Ze. The boy would have acted unnatural after returning if he had met his older brother. It either fell between William Grand or Shinichi Tanaka.

However, William Grand did not hold his own title in IAmFashionista, it was his father. But it was also possible that William's father had given William authority over his rights in IAmFashionista.

Shinichi, on the other hand, had his own title given to him by his father. The title of VVIP was under his name.

Either one of them or perhaps both of them.

"Did you find anything based on Mr. William and Mr. Tanaka's behaviors?"

"I only managed to appear when the other had left at a distance. From what I've seen, Mr. William had no reaction while Mr. Shinichi came out afraid."

"It is most likely Shinichi. But knowing this man, he will strive to keep away from things like this." Mistress Tang mulled over the events of today. "What exactly was that man scheming?"

The penultimate song was underway.

It was a piano solo with soft and heart-wrenching notes. This time, the song was about heartache and goodbyes.

The hall had been chaotic a quarter of an hour ago when a head elder of a legendary family suddenly collapsed. Fortunately, Mistress Tang stepped in to calm the people and handled the matter smoothly, pacifying the guests and transporting the fainted elder to a private room.

Tang Xinyang shed all her personal worries and replaced her grandmother. Since her grandmother needed to make sure that Old Lu was safe and sound, Mistress Tang had left the hall with him. Tang Xinyang had to stand in as the hostess and see to it that this concert would still end in a positive note.

She now sat with the elders at the front row.

While the poignant silver tones halted and rolled in the air in melancholy, a few of the guests murmured quietly about what happened, although many said that it was nothing new and that it was not surprising for an aged elder to collapse in exhaustion and slightest simulation.

On the other hand, at the table on the corner of the third row, Lu Jin looked at his father.

"It is not in the plan to expose ourselves to the Lu's or the Tang's. Why did father change his mind?"

Ming Zhi Yi reached out for his glass and drank. "It's because we have been sniffed out."

Lu Jin's alienated eyes became alert.

"The Tang family had their eyes on us. I suspected it when someone from the Tang family left the room after you, and I have confirmed it during the second break. Someone is really following you discreetly."

Lu Jin's eyes lowered.

His father had been using him as a bait?

No wonder, he had been perplexed when his father asked him to meet Eitan at some place here in the venue when they could have done it after the party.
