Chapter 1022: Public Romance

The ever-changing situation in City H was something that anyone who walked the streets would know.

This banquet was supposed to be an exchange between the people in power, and everyone understood why Father Ruan had brought Ruan Ni into the venue.

No one had expected Ruan Ni to be so well-prepared that she would shock everyone with a single brilliant feat. However, who wasn’t a ruthless person? Everyone knew that if a woman wanted to reach Ruan Ni’s level, she had to pay a lot more than a man. Her heart…He definitely had to be more ruthless, vicious, and cold.

At least, most people thought so.

Mr. Ruan was probably still unhappy, so he let Ruan Ni go on her own after bringing her in.

Ruan Ni walked around the banquet venue with a calm expression. She was unmoved by the gazes around her.

Two years had allowed her to grow a lot, especially in a place like Bojin Street that ate people. Now that she had the confidence and backing, there was no reason for her to show her fear in such a place.

“Congratulations.” A voice sounded beside him.

Ruan Ni turned around and saw the Sea God Group’s second in charge, Jia Wei.

Jia Wei raised his glass to Ruan Ni.” I could tell two years ago that you were definitely more capable than Ruan Feihan.”

“Why?” Ruan Ni remained calm.

Jia Wei’s lips curled up as he secretly probed,” You danced with Young Master two years ago. You got along quite well.”

“You’re thinking too much.” Ruan Ni also returned a smile, which was neither salty nor indifferent, making it hard to guess.

Jia Wei cursed in his heart. He didn’t think that this girl would really be favored by the young master. No matter why it took two years for her to act up, he didn’t believe that a little girl could fight to this extent in two years with her own hard work. Therefore, it was impossible to say that there was no one helping her behind this.

Jia Wei rolled his eyes and suddenly saw another person at the banquet. He continued,” There are really many talented people in the underworld now. You’re not much worse than that person. Who knows, one day, you might be chosen by Young Master?”

Ruan Ni followed Jia Wei’s gaze and saw a man sitting alone in a corner of the banquet, drinking.

The man was not old. His skin was slightly dark, and his facial features were not particularly handsome. Together with the profound temperament he exuded, he was unexpectedly attractive. He was like a black eagle observing everyone silently in the sky.

Ruan Ni knew him and had seen him before, so she knew the difference between the current him and the past.

Everyone in City H knew the name Zhou Jun.

As if sensing her gaze, Zhou Jun turned his head and met Ruan Ni’s gaze with Leng Rui’s brutal gaze.

Ruan Ni was stunned, but she did not retreat in fear. After staring at him for two seconds, she raised her glass and took the initiative to toast Zhou Jun from afar. She raised the corner of her mouth and smiled sweetly.

Zhou Jun’s expression did not change. His eyes that were staring at her suddenly deepened a few degrees. It was unknown whether he was thinking about it or he was unintentionally slow for a second before he slowly raised his glass and accepted her glass of wine.

The interaction between the two fell into Jia Wei’s eyes and he could not help but be surprised.

Could it be that the person behind Ruan Ni was really not the young master? Then who else could have such power and influence in both the underworld and the underworld?

Although they were in the dark, they still had to have connections in the light. Ruan Ni had forced Mr. Ruan into a compromise because of what he had done. He could not suppress his connections in the underworld, and his business was also being suppressed. He had been severely suppressed in terms of manpower, money, and power. He could not refuse to compromise.

Most of the people in the underworld guessed that it was the young master’s doing, just like Jia Wei. After all, among those who had interacted with Ruan Ni, the young master’s identity and ability were the strongest.

Now, it seemed that it was not that simple…Jia Wei secretly curled his lips, thinking that it would be very interesting to let Ruan Ni and Zhou Jun fight.

In the next moment, worry appeared in his eyes. It was good to watch the two tigers fight, but he was afraid that it would cause trouble to the surroundings.

These two didn’t seem to be law-abiding people. Everyone could see that Zhou Jun’s actions in the past two years were to gather the power of the underworld in City H.

“The weather is going to change.” Jia Wei sighed softly.

These seemingly glorious leaders were actually just chess pieces for the people above. The people above were still the ones who could really make a mess of things.

These days, no one was idle, including Si Huang.

After spending a few days with the elders in the Qin family, she began to run around again.
