Chapter 132 You can leave whenever you want, no one will stop you.
To conceal his inner falsehood, Si Huajin ignored everyone present and didn't bother to explain why he had lied; he intended to simply cover it up.
"Stop talking nonsense. It's not a big deal if we got this wrong. Besides, how are we supposed to know you're Liu Yifei's good friend?"
Si Huajin pulled someone over to her side and looked at Liu Chun with confidence: "Kid, do you dare to show us your contact information so everyone can see how long you and Liu Yifei have been friends? If you don't dare, then you're not Liu Yifei's good friend at all."
"If that's the case, I will not let you off easily if you come here today and cause such a scene at the banquet."
Since Liu Chun himself isn't coming, he'll definitely be keeping watch somewhere outside. If that kid says anything wrong later, he'll make sure he doesn't leave this banquet alive.
Even if it's not really about targeting Liu Chun himself, it's best not to let his people go, just like Liu Chun did with those guys he sent out to complete missions before, without showing any mercy.
"This is a matter of privacy. Even if I dared to reveal it, would you dare to look at it directly in front of so many people?"
Liu Chun regretted his words the very next second, because in this day and age, so-called privacy may not be that important. So when he finished speaking, Si Huajin smiled.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Just take it out now and put it on the table, anyone can see it."
As expected, it's still the same. Besides, there are people in charge of this among the powerful and influential people present. It's just that because Si Huajin's family is so big and powerful, they won't step forward to be the first to speak out as long as things don't go too far.
"What? Are you trying to make up some excuse to get away with this?"
Si Huajin turned to look at all the dignitaries present: "With so many people here, what can we possibly do to you? If you really are Liu Yifei's good friend, then the friendship between you two, where you hold each other's accounts, would have to be calculated over at least several years. So, do you dare... or not?"
"This is troublesome... but I guess I can also choose to refuse?"
Realizing that the face she was using was fake, Liu Chun immediately felt relieved. If she couldn't make Si Huajin suffer any more setbacks, she would simply take Liu Yifei away.
Having formed an idea in her mind, Liu Chun chuckled and said, "Liu Yifei and I have always been good friends, so I don't need to prove anything to you. Besides, someone just vouched for me, so why don't you believe me?"
This matter shouldn't have been brought up again, but Si Huajin was willing to. With all the powerful figures unwilling to get involved, only the two of them were in a standoff.
So, the next step is to figure out how to win the argument with Si Huajin and then make a clean getaway.
Since the matter hasn't fully erupted yet, and Liu Chun still has countermeasures to deal with it, there's no need to bring up Hai Xuan's matter. She can just have a proper burial later.
Throughout the entire event, the powerful figures maintained a neutral stance, simply watching indifferently as these events unfolded. No one stepped forward to say a word, likely due to fear, or perhaps because they had received prior benefits from Si Huajin and were content to remain silent and unhelpful.
"Ridiculous! You could have arranged this beforehand. Who knows if you and the others had already planned it all out just to clear your name now?"
Regardless of the circumstances, Si Huajin now just wants to insist that the kid in front of her has a questionable identity, and then send him away directly; this place can be hell.
Liu Chun, Liu Chun, so many people have chosen to stand on my side today, but you yourself didn't come here. There's no way he can leave here alive.
"So you could say that what I just said was just a joke. Everyone knows that jokes happen all the time, and we were just saying it casually. Who would take such a thing seriously?"
When Si Huajin looked at the powerful figures present, they all nodded in agreement and smiled. As for what happened tonight, who would talk about the benefits they had gained?
"See? Everyone agrees with what I said. So how are you going to prove your identity is legitimate? If you can prove it, you can leave now and walk out of the banquet. If you can't prove it, don't blame me for being impolite."
Immediately, men dressed in black suits, armed with sharp weapons and with menacing eyes, stepped out from the banquet hall.
"Is the identification document correct?"
Liu Chun turned to face Liu Yifei and whispered a few words to her that only they knew, before asking loudly, "Sister Liu Yifei, tell all these people here, are we really friends who have known each other for a long time?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei looked up at Liu Chun for a while before nodding: "Yes, he has been my friend for a long time. We used to get together often, but recently the gatherings have become less frequent, so he came to find me."
Si Huajin said that this was the first time she had ever seen Liu Yifei speak so much directly, and the person in front of her was not even Liu Chun herself.
What happened?
Is it that my control over her is weakening?
This matter has always been handled by Hai Xuan and his team. Hasn't he been reinforcing control measures every day? Why is Liu Yifei suddenly willing to say so much?
Oh, right, I've already invited Haixuan to the banquet, but Liu Chun hasn't shown up yet. So where did he go?
Si Huajin pulled someone aside and asked directly, "Where's Hai Xuan? Did he come here at all?"
The man explained, his voice slightly trembling, "Young...Young Master, we've checked all the guests coming and going, and there's definitely no sign of Lord Haixuan...Could it be that he's preparing to descend from the sky?"
"Stop with this nonsense, hurry up and take people to search. Whether they've come or not, I need to know now, understand?"
"clear."
Hai Xuan hasn't come over so late, it seems she won't be showing up again.
Since he has no intention of coming over, why not continue to strengthen control over Liu Yifei?
Si Huajin was filled with mixed thoughts: I only asked him to stop Liu Chun from causing trouble. Logically speaking, this matter should have been over long ago.
Furthermore, with so many delicacies to eat for free at the banquet, no one would refuse such a freebie, including Hai Xuan.
……
After a long silence, Si Huajin felt a sense of unease. He had a feeling that this matter might not be as simple as he thought.
Maybe Hai Xuan is already... already dead!
In the work arranged by Si Huajin, Hai Xuan had always strengthened her control over Liu Yifei, which resulted in Liu Yifei always maintaining a cold and aloof goddess demeanor in front of others.
In fact, Si Huajin did all this to make Liu Yifei obediently listen to her, to have her say everything, set the pace, and make the decisions, which is why she was accused of controlling her.
The weakening of control now directly indicates that Hai Xuan...
"Now that Liu Yifei has proven our relationship, I hope you all have no objections to me taking her away?"
Si's father stepped forward and asked, "She never said she wanted to go with you right now, did she?"
Liu Chun then asked again, and Liu Yifei's answers became increasingly fluent, even carrying a sense of certainty in her tone.
And so, Liu Chun led the four of them away from the banquet venue without anyone stopping them along the way. Besides, the powerful figures and Si Huajin were essentially in a state of mutual restraint, so no one dared to make any rash moves.
"Dad, you're just letting them go like that? I haven't even..."
Si Huajin's father whispered something in Si Huajin's ear, and Si Huajin immediately said that he was not feeling well and went upstairs first, leaving the banquet to be continued by Si Huajin's father.
After Si Huajin went upstairs, she disappeared!
