Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Ji Xianchen has not been in school recently and no one knows where he has gone.

This meant that Hua Xi didn't even have the chance to speak up for Ji Xingyuan.

When it comes to persuasion, it’s better to express it in person. Sending messages or making phone calls are not appropriate.

But Ji Xingyuan was not in a hurry. He thought with a positive attitude that even if Ji Xianchen agreed to let him become an e-sports player, he would have to at least wait until after the college entrance examination.

noon.

Commissary lounge.

Hua Chaochao put down the lunch box in her hand and looked at Dongli and Luo Han who had finished their meal and were browsing their phones. She asked curiously, "Is Brother Ji very busy? I haven't seen him for several days."

Dong Li heard this and replied, "That's fine, Third Brother just went to a meeting."

Hua Chaochao showed a surprised expression, "Meeting? What kind of meeting requires Brother Ji to personally attend?"

Dong Li heard this and sighed softly, and replied: "Miss Chao Chao, don't be fooled by Third Brother's high status and overwhelming power. In fact, he has many times when he can't help himself."

Dongli's feelings towards Ji Xianchen are not only respect, but also heartache. After all, Ji Xianchen really has a lot on his shoulders.

"I see..." Hua Chaochao nodded to show her understanding, then changed the subject and looked at Hua Xi beside her, "Sister, what are you thinking about? You have been distracted since the beginning."

Hua Xi had not even eaten half of the lunch box in her hand.

Hua Xi came back to her senses after hearing the voice, and turned to look at Hua Chaochao. Just as she was about to speak, Hua Chaochao spoke first. She teased, "Are you thinking about Brother Ji? If you miss him, give him a video call, and he will definitely answer."

Dongli and Luo Han also raised their heads and looked at Hua Xi expectantly.

Hua Xi: “…”

"No." Hua Xi said helplessly.

She was indeed thinking about many things, but none of them was related to Ji Xianchen.

She was thinking about the look in Gu Tu's eyes when he saw her that day, the mysterious man who saved Gu Tu, why the Shen family wanted to drive Shen Lanyi away, and...

Hua Chaochao turned into a caring angel and said with concern: "Sister, don't be too tired. I see that you have been thinking more recently."

Suddenly, Hua Xi felt relieved. She realized that some things cannot be forced, and letting nature take its course might be the best option.

When the time comes to know the truth, you will know it naturally.

……

Xuanzhou.

It was a spacious and magnificent lobby, but there were only eight people sitting in it.

These eight people are the patriarchs from the four major families, the leader of the Spiritual Medicine Alliance, the president of the Inspection Committee, the law enforcement chief of the desperate situation and the Lord of Xuanzhou.

Except for the one who came from Desperate Situation, who was not the leader, the others were the heads of the major forces.

Most of the powerful people in Xuanzhou are concentrated here.

Whenever a major incident occurred in Xuanzhou, they would gather together to discuss solutions.

In name it is a discussion, but in reality the decision-making power is mainly in the hands of the four major families.

The other three forces were just here to join in the fun and accept the tasks assigned to them by the four great families.

As for the Lord of Xuanzhou, his say is even less important.

Although he holds the title of 'Lord of Xuanzhou', in reality he is just a puppet controlled by the four great families.

He sat on the throne at the top. On the surface, he had the highest status, but in fact, if the four great families he mentioned did not nod in agreement, then any decision he made would be useless.

His existence is nothing more than a check and balance set up by the four great families to prevent one of them from becoming too powerful. He is a figurehead with no real power, and can be said to be a veritable 'tool man'.

Everyone gathered together this time because a shocking event had recently occurred in Xuanzhou - the mysterious disappearance of many young geniuses.

This incident had a significant impact on all major families, especially the Song family, because the Song family had the largest number of missing people.

The Song family was already on a downward spiral, and now this incident has happened, which is undoubtedly adding insult to injury and making the situation even more difficult.

So Song Guwei, leaning on his crutches, stood up first, and said angrily, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. A dozen outstanding children of my Song family cannot disappear in obscurity!"

Qi Man, the head of the Qi family, was nearly sixty years old, but she was still graceful, calm and composed. She said in a deep voice after Song Guwei: "Guwei, calm down. Shouting here will not help find the murderer. Sit back."

"Hmph!" Song Guwei snorted coldly, knocked the ground hard with his crutch, and then sat back in his original position angrily.

At this time, Li Qingchi, the patriarch of the Li family, which is the leader of the four great families, said solemnly: "We should really get to the bottom of this. This matter has seriously shaken the foundation of Xuanzhou."

Those young geniuses represent the future of Xuanzhou, and their unexplained disappearance must be taken seriously.

Li Qingchi glanced at the people present and said, "Everyone, if you have any thoughts on this matter, please speak up."
