The President's ultimate goal remained unfulfilled.
He could not accept this.
Especially as he departed, the President caught sight of Lin Xiao smiling at him from afar.
Lin Xiao’s smile was incredibly infuriating.
He was certain that Lin Xiao was involved.
Not only involved, but Lin Xiao had absolutely orchestrated the entire affair.
Yet, knowing this was of no use.
He was leaving.
The elder statesman from the capital also boarded a plane back to the capital, accompanied by his entourage.
The matters here were finally concluding.
“Finally, I can go home.”
Lin Xiao stretched lazily, having not worked under such high tension for a long time.
“Looks like you’re quite reluctant,” Dongfang Bai glanced at him.
“No, I just miss my daughter. I haven’t seen her for days. She couldn’t sleep well at night without me, and I’m worried about her,” Lin Xiao immediately replied.
As they spoke, Lin Xiao noticed Mr. Zhuge had silently turned and left the airport.
“Zhuge Lan!”
Lin Xiao quickly caught up to him, “Everything’s settled now. Why don’t we go out and have some fun?”
“Have fun?”
It was Zhuge Lan’s body he was in control of. To be precise, Mr. Zhuge’s soul had entered a slumber. Mr. Zhuge had consumed a considerable amount of soul power these past few days, so Zhuge Lan was now basically the one leading his body.
“Of course, this is Modu, the most prosperous place in the country, a hub for influencers and celebrities. Why not go out and explore?” Lin Xiao said.
Zhuge Lan, at the end of the day, was still just a young man only a few years older than Lin Xiao. Especially for a guy, the desire to have fun was natural. Lin Xiao’s suggestion piqued his interest.
However, he quickly shook his head, “No. Mr. Zhuge told me I need to improve myself faster. Right now, I need to truly observe the mountains and rivers of this land to better understand the intricacies of formations.”
“Isn’t this perfect? To experience the local customs of Modu,” Lin Xiao said, then pulled Zhuge Lan towards Dongfang Bai, “Old Bai! You’re treating! Let’s grab a meal first!”
“Huh? Me?”
Dongfang Bai hadn’t even reacted before Lin Xiao nudged him. In this situation, there was no longer a hierarchy of age or status.
“That’s not right. I’m already old, and you want me to treat?”
“You’re the host. If you don’t treat, are we two outsiders supposed to?”
And so, that night, Dongfang Bai visited a nightclub for the first time in his life.
Inside the club, he felt out of place among the surrounding youngsters.
Most of them were in their twenties or thirties, coming here after a day's work to vent their emotions and frustrations.
Some were drinking, while others were searching for their targets.
The three of them sat at the bar.
“Lin Xiao, what are we doing here?” Dongfang Bai stared at Lin Xiao, bewildered that he had brought him to a bar.
How old was he?
Especially since Lin Xiao had mentioned he was married, so he was just here for a drink and not to pick up anyone.
Zhuge Lan said he found the girls here too worldly, but he quite enjoyed trying the various liquors. Another observation was that the girls here weren't as pretty as those from Shu.
Dongfang Bai, being older, couldn’t even begin to fathom it. Neither the dance floor nor approaching women were for him.
