Two days later, the old street seemed as peaceful as before, but there was an indescribable tension in the air, like the calm before a storm.

The Penglai Park project came to an abrupt halt due to Ming Guoan's accident, and the entire site was enveloped in a strange silence.

Every corner of the old street seems to be silently waiting for a signal, indicating the coming storm.

Although pedestrians on the street are still coming and going, their eye contact with each other is somewhat worried and cautious.

The occasional conversations mostly revolved around Ming Guoan's accident and the future of Penglai Park.

In such an atmosphere full of unknowns and suspicions, Wei Jian found me.

"Alei, there's something I think you should know." He said mysteriously, with an expression that seemed to hide an unknown secret.

I sighed softly in my heart and motioned for him to follow me into the office. This was a good place to talk.

After closing the door, I asked: "What's the matter, Brother Jian? Looking at you like this, it seems serious?"

My voice was calm, trying not to make my curiosity too obvious.

Wei Jian looked around to make sure there were no outsiders, then lowered his voice, as if he wanted to share a shocking secret: "You know about Ming Guoan, right? He had an accident at the unveiling ceremony of Penglai Park and fell off his horse. Now Became a vegetative state..."

I nodded to show my understanding.

"Well, I was there at the time. This matter caused quite a fuss. It's strange that I didn't know about it." I tried to keep my tone relaxed to hide the nervousness inside.

Wei Jian moved closer, as if he was afraid that others would hear his words: "But do you know that this matter seems to be related to Bai Yingcang?"

His eyes were full of tension and expectation, as if this information could change something.

I pretended to be shocked: "What? Is it related to Bai Yingcang? Where did you hear that?"

My voice rose slightly, although I had already expected that there must be something fishy behind it.

"It's just gossip, where else can it come from?" Wei Jian shrugged, with a hint of nonchalance in his tone.

He continued: "I heard that it was Bai Yingcang who had someone do something to Ming Guoan's horse, which led to this accident. Now the Ming family has made it known that they will take revenge on the Bai family."

Although I had a premonition in my heart, I still had a shocked expression on my face: "Isn't this too outrageous? Bai Yingcang wants to fight to the death with the Ming family!"

Wei Jian sighed, as if he felt sorry for the development of the whole incident: "Yes, it has become a big deal now. I heard that Bai Yingcang has hid in Thailand, and the top management of the Ming family and the Bai family are negotiating. Alas, it is really a wave of uncertainty. Ping, the waves are coming again and again..."

I was sitting on the chair in the office, listening to Wei Jian's words, but my heart was in turmoil.

The name Bai Yingcang is like a thorn in my heart.

All the things he has done to me, now it seems that the sky is wide open and no omissions are missed. His crimes will eventually receive the retribution they deserve.

I couldn't help but sneer, thinking that Bai Yingcang, who was unruly and rebellious back then, ended up like this. He really deserved it.

"By the way, Ah Lei, there is one more thing." Wei Jian changed the topic, breaking my inner meditation, "In a few days, a big shot will come to our place, and then you and my sister will have to go and receive it. .”

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Big shot? What big shot?"

Wei Jian shook his head and said mysteriously: "I don't know much about this. It's not clearly stated above. But if my sister can receive her in person, she is definitely not an ordinary person. Then you can show off your skills."

I smiled and thought that this kind of situation is not unfamiliar to me. After all, in this chaotic world, I have my own means and wisdom to be able to stand firm.

I said to Wei Jian: "Don't worry, brother Jian, I can still handle this kind of situation. But do you really don't know who he is? Can you tell me a little bit about him?"

Wei Jian spread his hands helplessly: "Hey, if I knew, could I still hide it from you? The confidentiality of this matter is strictly enforced, and I am also confused. But don't worry, Alei, with your ability, I will definitely not be able to hide it from you." There will be problems.”

I nodded, thinking quickly in my mind.

For Wei Jian to be called a big shot, this person must have an unusual identity and background.

I said to Wei Jian: "Okay, I understand. This matter is my responsibility, and I will fully cooperate."

After seeing Wei Jian off, I leaned back in my chair, closed my eyes and fell into deep thought.

The faces of Bai Yingcang and Ming Guoan came to mind. These two people who once made waves in the old streets, now one is hiding in Thailand and the other is in a vegetative state.

Their fate seemed to remind me that in this dangerous environment, no one's status is fixed.

I opened my eyes again, and I already had a decision in my mind.

No matter who this so-called big shot is, I must deal with it carefully and remain vigilant.

In this old street full of unknowns and crises, only by constantly assessing the situation can we ensure the safety of ourselves and those around us.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared at the corner of my mouth.

Bai Yingcang, Bai Yingcang, just hide in Thailand.

I don't believe you can hide for the rest of your life!

In this world, there are no eternal secrets and no eternal security.

I stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance of the old street. I swore to myself that no matter what happened next, I would make sure that I was in a favorable position and would not be swallowed up by any wind and waves.

For the next few days, I stayed at the company and focused on the job at hand.

Unexpectedly, neither the Bai family nor the Ming family came to see me.

This surprised me somewhat, but when I thought about it, they were probably too busy taking care of themselves right now, so how could they have the time to care about this insignificant little role like me?

In this way, the days passed, and the old street returned to its former peace on the surface.

The mysterious big shot hasn't arrived yet, and Wei Jian hasn't revealed any more information.

I can only continue to wait, and at the same time be vigilant and ready to respond to possible changes.

This afternoon, I was processing documents in the office when Wei Rong's phone call suddenly came in.

"Hey, Sister Rong, what's going on?" I picked up the phone and asked casually.

"Are you free tonight? Come to Henry for dinner tonight, and I'll take you to meet someone." Wei Rong's voice came through the phone, sounding a little tired.

My heart moved, and I quickly asked: "Okay, Sister Rong, I will definitely be free in the evening. But, who do you want to take me to see?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Wei Rong said quietly: "Don't ask too many questions. You will know when we meet in person. Anyway, prepare yourself. We will meet at the Henry Hotel in the evening. Dress more formally, okay?"

"Understood, Sister Rong. I will definitely arrive on time." I agreed, but the curiosity in my heart became stronger.

After hanging up the phone, I leaned back in my chair and fell into deep thought.

It seems that the identity of this mysterious figure is so extraordinary that even Wei Rong keeps it secret.

Thinking of this, I returned to the dormitory and started picking out my outfit for the evening.

Picking out a well-tailored black suit, I nodded with satisfaction.

This outfit shows off my taste without looking too showy.

Paired with a pair of shiny leather shoes and a low-key luxury watch, I believe I can leave a deep impression at the dinner party.

Everything was ready, I looked at my watch.

Chang Jianlin knocked on the door and came in, telling me that the car was ready.

I nodded, stood up, tidied my clothes, and got ready to go.
