Jian Jin blew out a smoke ring, still feeling frustrated. She threw the unfinished thin cigarette to the ground and stepped on it.
Then, she strode towards the private room.
In the private room were a few marginal figures of the royal family that she had spent a lot of effort to invite.
Jian Jin suddenly returned. The people in the private room glanced at her and were about to continue drinking.
Unexpectedly, she slammed her cell phone on the table with a loud sound.
Everyone in the private room looked at her.
Only then did Jian Jin say irritably, "Everyone, you've eaten, drunk, and accepted the money and benefits. Now, can anyone tell me how to contact my boss?!"
The private room was silent.
Jian Jin sneered and changed her words. "Or can someone tell me if any of you can send a message to my boss for me?"
These people better not f*cking tell her that they couldn't do it!
Qiao was coming.
With Qiao's relations.h.i.+p with the reclusive families… She was afraid that if Qiao ran into Country M's territory, she would be like a sheep entering the tiger's den and would not be able to return.
"Pfft, don't tell me that none of you can do it."

The plane landed at Country M's airport at four in the afternoon.
This was Qiao Nian's second time in Country M. It had been a year since she came here to look for Zhong Yiliu. She came to the same airport again.
However, she was in a different state of mind this time.
The last time she came to Country M, she was here to get medicine for a few old men. This time, she was here to look for someone.
"Here, hot coffee."
Qiao Nian was in a daze when a slender hand handed her a cup of hot coffee from the airport.
Qiao Nian came back to her senses and took the coffee can from him. Then, she took a sip and narrowed her eyes. "Thank you."
Ye w.a.n.gchuan did not say anything. He found his cell phone and answered a call. "Yes, we're here."
He hung up, put the phone down, and said to the girl, "Let's go. Someone is coming to pick us up."
Qiao Nian guessed that the person he was talking about was Ji Lin, the person she met here last time. They had even added each other on WeChat.
However, neither she nor Ji Lin had contacted each other after that.
Qiao Nian did not post on her Moments.
Ji Lin would occasionally post one or two messages, but Qiao Nian rarely looked at his WeChat Moments, let alone liked them. Therefore, both parties were considered 'corpses' lying in each other's WeChat.
The group walked out of the airport.
As expected, a seven-seater jeep was waiting for them outside. The jeep's lines were smooth and strong. It was a very manly car model that all men would love.
Ji Lin leaned against the car and waited for them to come out. As soon as he saw the group of people coming out, he stood up and opened the door for Ye w.a.n.gchuan.
He respectfully greeted him, "Master w.a.n.g."
Then, Ji Lin's gaze landed on the girl walking side by side with Ye w.a.n.gchuan. He paused and greeted politely, "Miss Qiao, long time no see."
As for Gu San and Qin Si, Ji Lin had never seen them before and only nodded slightly.
He greeted everyone and then asked them to get into the car. He had arranged for them to stay at a hotel.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan had an independent business in Country M. Of course, he also had real estate. Ji Lin took charge of this part of the business for him.
Therefore, Ji Lin was considered a popular person in Country M's top circle.
Many people knew him.
To keep a low profile, Ye w.a.n.gchuan would not stay in his business in Country M this time and chose to bring Qiao Nian to a hotel.
***
Ji Lin drove steadily to a top-notch hotel in the city center, the K Royal Hotel.
He parked the car and opened the door for Ye w.a.n.gchuan and the others before taking the initiative to go to the front desk to check them in.
