The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 629 - 627 Mysterious Man

He suddenly hit the nail on the head, causing Ji Niandong to freeze for a moment. Is everyone who navigates the business world so adept at probing people’s minds? If not, she wouldn’t have been so easily manipulated by Lu Beichen, unable to distinguish truth from falsehood. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Alright, Tongtong, get out of the car!" Ning Zeyan said with a light smile.

The man in black nearby had already opened the car door, and Ning Zeyan led her inside.

The most mysterious clubhouse in New City, rumored to be frequented by political figures, enshrouded in secrecy. Ji Niandong had been to upscale places like Beiyuan, but coming here still made her feel a bit anxious.

If Ning Zeyan was acquainted with a notable figure in the political scene, he might indeed be able to cover for her for a while.

She simply didn’t want to see him, but with what mindset should she face him if she did?

Or should she continue listening to his so-called explanations and obediently play the role of Mrs. Lu?

She couldn’t do it, nor did she want to. Could she just have a few peaceful days by herself?

As soon as the door of the private room opened, Ji Niandong saw the man sitting at the table. He was focused on making tea, and the noise didn’t affect him at all.

The door of the private room suddenly closed, leaving only the three of them inside. They heard the man softly say, "Sit down!"

He lifted his head, his cold and stern face showing a faint smile. If Ning Zesheng was so aloof he kept people at bay, this man exuded a chilling aura that made it hard to breathe. His hair was slicked back, and his suit was impeccably neat, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes exuding a devilish charm.

"This is Tong Ji Yuan, Young Master Tong. And this is Ji Niandong, Lu Beichen’s wife," Ning Zeyan introduced. Tong Ji Yuan looked up and scrutinized her.

Ji Niandong was stunned. She hadn’t expected Ning Zeyan’s friend to be Tong Ji Yuan!

The son of Chairman Tong’s elder brother, the cousin of Tong Ji Yang!

Rumor had it that this prominent figure had always been a force in the political arena, highly praised and just like his father. If not for his father’s untimely death, it might be his father sitting in the chairman’s seat now, and Tong Ji Yuan would be the rightful Crown Prince!

He could indeed be the one to protect her from Lu Beichen!

Ji Niandong instinctively frowned, and Tong Ji Yuan said again, "Sit down!"

Only then did Ning Zeyan pull her down to sit and said, "Tongtong is Beichen’s wife, so she’s kind of a friend of ours. She’s had a disagreement with Beichen and has nowhere else to go. I thought you might be able to help her."

"How can I help?" Tong Ji Yuan asked straightforwardly.

Ning Zeyan smiled at her, and Ji Niandong said directly, "Just keep him from finding me for a while."

She spoke with little confidence, only wanting a divorce, but unexpectedly got involved with such a person.

"But why should I help you?" Tong Ji Yuan asked, looking directly at Ji Niandong.

His demeanor wasn’t hostile, but it was quite unsettling, making her a bit nervous.

Ning Zeyan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Just consider it doing me a favor."

"Helping you is due to our friendship. But helping her concerns our personal connection. Even though you’re Beichen’s wife, you’re asking me to help you hide from Beichen. Don’t you find that a bit unreasonable?" He made his points logically, then shifted his tone, "Or, if I help you, would you agree to do something for me in return?"

All notable figures speak in such roundabout ways. Ji Niandong directly asked, "What is it? What could you possibly need my help with?"

"I haven’t thought of anything for now, but I definitely won’t put you in a difficult position."

"Alright!" Ji Niandong didn’t want to overthink things either.
