Chapter 2284 Her Ambition Does Not Stop There

"Of course, she’s after Martin."

Feng Yu’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot as he paced around the office. Stopping in front of Shi Fu, he said in a low voice, "I think her ambition does not stop there. Not only does she want to contact Martin, but she also wants to contact the reclusive family behind him."

Shi Fu did not understand the inside story of the Ji family.

Feng Yu continued, "According to my understanding, ever since the incident two months ago, the Ji family has clearly given up on Ji Ziyin. It’s probably because of this that she wants to find a stronger backer."

"But how did she learn about the reclusive family and Martin?" Shi Fu asked.

This was a secret of the independent continent. Only a small number of people knew about the absolute forces hidden in the independent continent.

Feng Yu did not need to think too much to guess. "Gu Hengbo."

Shi Fu frowned and revealed an expression of disgust. "Him?"

Feng Yu did not respond. He also felt extremely disgusted by Gu Hengbo’s actions. Seeing that he was silent, Shi Fu suddenly remembered and asked him, "When will Qiao Nian be back? Have you told her about this?"

Shi Fu already knew Qiao Nian’s background. He had heard a little from Nan Tianyi, so he was very concerned about Qiao Nian.

Feng Yu shook his head. He pondered for a moment before saying, "I didn’t tell her yet. She’s coming back today. Let’s wait for her to rest first."

Shi Fu had no objections.

Feng Yu thought of something and looked at him with a smile. "I plan to hold a welcoming banquet for her tonight. How about it? Are you free? Do you want to come?"

Shi Fu had never liked to participate in these private gatherings. However, this time, he only thought for a moment before agreeing readily. "What time? I’ll go early."

Feng Yu then said, "I haven’t asked her yet. I’ll confirm it and tell you later."

Shi Fu nodded and got up to return to the laboratory.

Feng Yu watched him leave. His gaze then landed on the tablet he had thrown aside.

Sighing, he picked up his cell phone to make a call.

Qiao Nian went to her room to unpack the moment she entered the villa. After she emptied her backpack, only two changes of clothes, a laptop, and some gadgets could be seen.

Qiao Nian placed the clothes on the bedside table, then took the notebook to the desk and put it down. As for the small things, she threw them all into the drawer.

Feng Yu called at this moment.

Qiao Nian looked at the caller ID and then picked up the call.

"Hello?"

Feng Yu told her about the welcoming banquet tonight.

Qiao Nian frowned and looked at the laptop. She was thinking of rejecting him and turning it on, but she changed her mind. "Where?"

Feng Yu reported the location.

Qiao Nian looked at the time and agreed.

She hung up and leaned against the desk. Her legs, wrapped in jeans, were well-proportioned and straight, very eye-catching.

Lowering her head and clicking on the WeChat app, she found Zhou Zhou’s message.

Qiao Nian stared at it for a while before putting her phone back into her pocket. Then, she grabbed her baseball cap and went downstairs.

In the living room downstairs.

Gu San and Qin Si were also tidying up their things.

Qin Si had always been petty and lazy. Throwing his baggage into his room and ignoring it, he then collapsed on the sofa like an old man. Seeing the girl come down, he immediately stood up and greeted her. "Sister Qiao, are you done?"
