In the system of super rich people, handsome men are just tools

Chapter 380 Shocking Change

The First Madam put down her teacup, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression was far from relaxed.

Not only her, but everyone else was also stunned, staring at Nan En as if they had seen a ghost.

Everyone knows Nansin's sexual orientation, so how could she possibly want to get married?

"Are you sure?" Nan asked.

“I dare not deceive my father.” Nan En looked up and confronted Nan Cha.

This son is finally going to make something of himself! He didn't even know when he got involved with Puti.

Nan Cha was startled, and silence fell over the hall.

Time passed by, second by second, feeling like an eternity.

Nan Xin pursed her lips, her nails digging into her sweaty palms as she stared at Nan Cha above her. He seemed lost in thought, and after a long while, a smile appeared on his face, and he transformed back into a loving father.

"Yes, it certainly didn't disappoint me," Nancha said.

Is the crisis of the second wife resolved just like that?

The members of each household watched as Nan En and Cha changed the subject to other topics, secretly regretting that they hadn't seized the opportunity and that Nan En had acted so quickly. Arranging a marriage between Nan Xin and the Puti family was a sure-fire deal from any perspective, and Nan Cha wouldn't disagree.

Only the second wife, like a victorious peacock, proudly swayed her hips: "People still need to learn to be smarter."

He left as soon as he finished speaking, never seeing the Fourth Madam's resentful back as she walked away.

Nan En saw it, but it was nothing more than a lowly thing, not worth his attention. Today, he had saved face for the second branch of the family, but his father's intentions were also clear: he wanted to speed up the process of taking down the Green Gang. Once he did, no one would stand in his way anymore.

"Maine appears calm on the surface, but there's a lot of turmoil behind the scenes!" Lin Xiu said with a smile to the system, slowly flipping through the data the system had collected.

She wasn't idle during this time either. Not only did she make frequent appearances at the summit banquets, but she also sent people to have the system thoroughly investigate the movements of Liu Linzhou and Nan En. Although the information available was limited, it was quite interesting.

"Should we interfere with Liu Linzhou's actions, host?" The fat worm flapped its little wings.

"Hmm, let me remind Nan En." Lin Xiu thought for a moment and found the contact information for Nan En that she had added before.

I received a reply as soon as I sent the message, along with a dinner invitation.

"Did you refuse, host?" The fat worm glanced at the screen.

Lin Xiu tossed her phone aside and said, "Mm."

She didn't want to meet Nan En frequently. The system said that every time she met Nan En, his marriage line would deepen, while hers would remain shallow, so it was better to meet less often.

Moreover, while she is investigating Liu Linzhou, Liu Linzhou might also be investigating Nan En, so why create more trouble?

"Master, find out about the marriage line as soon as possible."

"Okay, host!" the fat worm said enthusiastically.

The summit lasted five days, and in just five days, Lin Xiu became a hot topic at the summit, receiving a constant stream of invitations. Apart from meeting Xie Huai frequently, she refused to see anyone else.

What was slightly strange was Xie Jin. Xie Jin's gaze was too intense. Lin Xiu could often feel him staring at her from behind, yet she couldn't avoid it.

With doubts in her heart, she did not take the initiative to seek out Xie Jin.

She had promised Xie Huai that she and Xie Jin could only be friends.

Only on the last day, at the summit's banquet for all attendees, did Lin Xiu accept the invitation.

The magnificent hall was brightly lit in the darkness, and many people saw her as soon as she entered.

A woman in a light blue dress was arm in arm with a blond young man. The woman was aloof and the young man was alluring, creating a beautiful scene that attracted the attention of many people, who came forward to chat.

Lin Xiu scanned the room; there were many people, some familiar and some unfamiliar, a scene of singing and dancing, with almost all of Maine's upper-class celebrities present.

Nan En and his group had already arrived, with Nan Cha and the others beside him. They raised their glasses in greeting as she entered. Meanwhile, Xie Jin was socializing with Xie Huai, but...

"Chao Chao, go find Liu Linzhou." How can she feel at ease when the person she was supposed to take action today hasn't shown up? She's still waiting for the big show after the banquet.

"Yes. Sister Xiu, please be careful on your own," Chaochao whispered.

His clear, shallow pupils were pure, and he was no longer afraid of other people's gazes when facing such occasions.

Lingdang died, leaving behind Lin Chao.

"You stay with Han Chong, and I'll take care of Lin Yi. Don't worry," Lin Xiu said calmly.

Firstly, she wasn't the main focus of today's event; according to Nan En's plan, it would be after the banquet. Secondly, one can only be a thief for a thousand days, not guard against thieves for a thousand days; she understood this after meeting Nan En in the seaside cabin.

Even the best security can't keep up with changes; when problems arise, we solve them.

Chao Chao nodded and led Han Chong into the crowd.

Without Chaochao blocking her way, Lin Xiu leaned against the table and chatted with passersby, even bringing Sessiah along to help block their way.

"Miss Lin."

"Thank you, Mr. Xie."

Having found an opportunity to escape, Lin Xiu, Xie Huai, and Xie Jin got together and exchanged a smile.

“I am very grateful for Mr. Xie’s help in getting me to Maine this time,” she said.

"It's nothing, not worth mentioning." Xie Huai smiled, glanced at the silent Xie Jin, and continued thoughtfully, "The banquet will begin soon."

Lin Xiu was surprised. Wasn't this the beginning?

All the important people here were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

"Hehe, Miss Lin probably didn't read the invitation carefully, did she?" Xie Huai said knowingly when he saw her puzzled look. "This banquet today is one that the General insisted on hosting." He raised his chin as he spoke.

Lin Xiu looked outside and saw that the outside was now guarded by several squads of soldiers. There were also more people inside. Lin Xiu frowned as she looked around. Nan En was gone, and it seemed that two of the Green Gang members were missing. Something seemed wrong.

Just then, a commotion erupted at the stairwell. This was the general's first public appearance at the summit, and he was escorted by the crowd to the front of the stage.

"You're here." Xie Huai straightened his clothes and invited Lin Xiu to come forward.

Lin Xiu followed, her heart pounding with doubt, feeling that the crazy idea in her mind was impossible.

With the generals present, how dare they?

But within five minutes she realized that this group of people really dared to...

When the first shot fired...

"At this juncture, I join you all..."

"boom!"

"Protect the general."

"Ah, run!"

"Miss Lin."

The sound of artillery fire and gunfire echoed throughout the hall, plunging it into chaos in an instant. Lin Yi immediately sensed something was wrong and pulled Lin Xiu aside to take cover when someone rushed in and started indiscriminately firing. The next second, the brightly lit hall was plunged into chaos and darkness.

"Miss Lin, stay close to me."

"Be careful."

Sensing danger, Lin Xiu was startled. By the light of her phone, she seemed to see something glowing, followed by an explosion and gunshots.

"Grab me!" Lin Yi shouted, trying to reach out and grab Lin Xiu. Just then, a scream swept between the two of them, and a man dressed entirely in black with his face covered raised a gun and pointed it at Lin Xiu!

Without thinking twice, Lin Yi leaped forward and pounced on her: "Miss Lin, find a place to hide."

"Host, what should we do?" the fat worm flew out.

"System, find an exit. These people are crazy!" Lin Xiu cursed, her mind racing as she tried to figure out who had the audacity to do this.

It shouldn't have been Nan En who did it. Liu Linzhou alone couldn't have made such a big move, an indiscriminate attack, like a terrorist attack... These lunatics.
