The identity that Christen set for herself was Yang Cheng's overseas classmate, which was understandable. After all, Yang Cheng had a Harvard diploma that even he himself had almost forgotten how he got it.
For a family meal, there was the addition of an international diva out of nowhere, and this diva would say a few "shocking" words from time to time. Only Yang Cheng himself knew how hard this meal was.
Hui Lin couldn't hide her love for her idol, but she was too shy to say it out loud. She had to rely on Yang Cheng's help to take a few intimate photos with Christen. When she found out that Hui Lin was also participating in the competition, Christen jokingly asked if she wanted some "dirty tricks" when she was commenting. Who knew that the innocent girl, Hui Lin, would be so embarrassed to refute her idol. Her cute look made the family laugh.
It was past nine o 'clock at night, Lin Ruoxi hadn't returned home yet, but it was time for Christen to leave. After all, her team had already arrived in Hua Xia, and tomorrow, they would officially start the promotional work for "Star of Yu Lei".
Yang Cheng walked Christen out of the house, and as they walked on the quiet and serene path in the courtyard, the two of them didn't speak at first.
Under the night sky, the sporadic light from the street lamps shone on Christen's jade-like, flawless face. Anyone who saw it would be mesmerized, but Yang Cheng wasn't in the mood to appreciate this beauty that was hard to come by for a man in this world.
"That Judy, who is she to you?" Yang Chen thought for a while, and still decided to ask.
Christen, on the other hand, looked a little confused. After thinking carefully for a moment, she asked back, "Who is Judy?"
"Don't be confused with me. That woman is holding your 'amulet' in her hand. Don't tell me the streets are full of people with the Lord's amulet?" Yang Cheng said with a frown.
Christen came to a realization and giggled, "You're talking about her. So her name in Blue Storm is Judy. Her real name is actually Yuna. She's a stubborn but pretty girl. "
"She was killed by me." Yang Cheng said directly, "Because she tried to kill me twice, I didn't hold back the second time."
Christen opened her mouth slightly, looking a little helpless, but she wasn't angry. "Don't worry too much. Although she is related to me, it can be said that we have nothing to do with each other.
In my previous life, about 590 years ago, I was a young lady of the Anderson Watson Family in England. At that time, my husband was little Yuna's … Judy's grandfather from who knows which generation you mentioned. You can say that Yuna is my granddaughter from who knows which generation.
There was once a superpower organization that tried to kidnap me. Blue Storm sent some of their people to protect me. After I found out about her family, I felt very close to them. Thinking that one of my descendants would actually enter the Blue Storm, out of concern for my great-great-great-grandmother, I gave her a protective talisman … "
"It's a pity that the little girl doesn't listen. It seems that when it's time to die, no one can stop her."
Yang Cheng couldn't help but stiffen. "Don't give out the amulet randomly. Don't you think it's boring for a granddaughter who's separated from you by who knows how many generations?"
"If it wasn't for us old farts … uh … except you, what difference does it make whether I give her the amulet or not?" Christen said indifferently, but she couldn't hide the sadness on her face. She sighed and said, "Really, every time I think about how there are only a few of us old farts, I feel terrible."
"Don't drink, don't go crazy," said Yang Cheng worriedly.
Christen giggled. "Are you that worried that I'll cause trouble for you?"
"You've already caused a lot of trouble for me. Now I'm simply a beast in the eyes of my family."
"You've always been one," Christen said unhappily.
"That's the past! I even blush when I look at a girl's underwear now! "Yang Cheng said shamelessly.
Christen rolled her eyes at him in a flirtatious manner, but it had no effect on Yang Chen. "Alright, but you have to answer a question of mine. Answer me seriously."
Yang Cheng nodded. "Ask away."
In fact, Christen had returned home to "scrounge a meal." Yang Chen guessed that this woman had something to say to him, and was just fooling around with him. Indeed, that was the case.
Christen's expression was a little serious. "A while ago, that lunatic Ares came to America and asked me if I touched your God's Stone. I fought with him and he believed that I didn't. Tell me the truth, is the God's Stone really gone? You're not using some kind of trick, are you? "
Yang Chen smiled bitterly. "Although Ares has a rash personality, he's not a fool. Do you think I can lie to him that easily? Since I dared to keep the God's Stone with me, there's naturally no need to hide it. This time, it's really gone. "
Christen's expression was solemn. "This matter is very strange. You and Ares didn't find out and took away the God's Stone without being able to trace it. At the very least, the person's strength is no weaker than ours, or even a little stronger."
Yang Cheng suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is it possible that there are still people on Earth that the eleven of you don't know about?"
"Why do you ask that?" Christen asked in surprise. "How is that possible? Even your predecessor, Hades, couldn't stand the endless reincarnation and loneliness and self-destructed. Do you think there are people who are obviously still alive but don't want us to know?"
Yang Cheng sighed and told her about the fight for the Holy Grail after the Liu family's banquet. When he mentioned that someone used the Law of Space to seize the Holy Grail and absorbed the energy inside, Christen's expression turned ugly.
"If it's really like what you said, I don't know why." Christen frowned. "I'll find time to talk to the other old guys who have woken up about this matter. For the time being, it's good news that the God's Stone is not in the hands of that lunatic Ares. But we can't rule out the possibility that someone else wants to use the God's Stone to do some terrible things. "
"Do you think those guys will be interested in investigating this matter? They've long lived to the point where nothing matters." Yang Cheng sneered.
Christen's face showed some sadness. "Yes … Let alone the God's Stone, even if the end of the world comes, it doesn't matter to some of them …"
"Since we can't find that person, all we can do is wait for him to show up. No matter what, if he wants to use the God's Stone to do something unacceptable, I will stop him. After all, it was lost in my hands," Yang Cheng said seriously.
Christen forced a smile, but the worry between her brows did not lessen.
If the conversation between Yang Cheng and Christen was overheard by others, they would only think that two lunatics were talking nonsense in the middle of the night.
What most people were paying attention to that night was the fierce battle between Yu Lei International, the new aircraft carrier of the Hua Xia fashion industry, and the international financial gangs on Nasdaq.
The battle attracted the attention of countless parties as soon as the stock market opened. Most people already had an idea of what would happen. When Yu Lei International's treasury was at its weakest, such a battle had to be said to be a slim chance of survival.
Some people in the know learned from the entertainment employees that the company did not get a loan from the bank. This made things worse, and countless people sold Yu Lei's shares like crazy.
However, in the wee hours of the morning in Hua Xia, Yu Lei International's counterattack began. Everyone who was ready to watch a good show, or who was thinking about a big change, was dumbfounded and their glasses fell to the ground!
Yu Lei International, which seemed to be weak and had no power to fight back, actually used the methods of a nouveau riche to start a crazy battle with the opponent. Countless amounts of cash flowed out like a flood, appearing in front of the world.
Yu Lei didn't sell clothes, but printed money!? Such questions arose in the minds of too many people.
At the same time, Lin Ruoxi, who was at the base of the resort, silently watched the stock index on the big screen slowly rising. She, who had not rested all night, finally showed a trace of a smile.
The members of the Athena Team under the high platform worked in full swing. For them, there were only a few days of real work every year, and they dealt with the most difficult problems. But once they started working, they did not sleep or rest, and even forgot to eat or sleep.
They did not ask the boss, Lin Ruoxi, where did she get so much money. What they wanted to do was to continue expanding the resources at hand!
Seeing that the situation was settled, Lin Ruoxi did not stay any longer. She had to go back to the company to deal with more things.
When this financial war ended, not only did Yu Lei's funds not decrease, but it would also increase several times. In this way, the future development blueprint of the company in her mind would need to be reformulated and changed a lot.
When Lin Ruoxi walked out of the resort, all the employees under the company looked at her with incomparable worship and fanaticism. Just like how an army always had an indelible military spirit, in the hearts of the employees of Yu Lei International, the CEO who always brought them the fruits of victory was their spiritual pillar!
Lin Ruoxi did not feel anything special …
Grandma, I did not let you down, I did not let Yu Lei fall … Although, most of it was because of that man, but … that should be your blessing from the heavens.
Gratitude and longing, however, were the thoughts that occupied most of Lin Ruoxi's mind.
Another person who was also paying attention to this smokeless war was Ning Guodong, who was wearing pajamas and sipping red wine in a certain high-class single-story apartment in Zhonghai.
On the projection screen, Yu Lei was slowly turning the tables and gradually taking the initiative. Then, like a ferocious tiger, they defeated their opponents one by one. Ning Guodong's hand, which was holding the wine glass, couldn't help but tremble.
Gradually, Ning Guodong turned his head to a document bag at the side. The document bag was tightly sealed.
At this moment, an assistant in a suit and leather shoes walked into the living room. He walked forward in a hurry, bent down, and said, "Director, it's impossible for me to contact Duke Mao."
"Huh?" Ning Guodong frowned.
"Duke Mao … Duke Mao, he …" The assistant said with a troubled expression, "I just received news that Duke Mao was executed on the spot by a public official because he committed some crimes yesterday morning. Now, that public official is said to be under investigation. This time, Duke Mao's crime of colluding with some business associations in Singapore and Malaysia is most likely confirmed. "
Ning Guodong narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and asked the assistant to leave.
Looking at the document again, Ning Guodong sneered. "Duke Mao, Duke Mao, no wonder you would give such a useful thing to me, whom you don't have much of a relationship with. It seems like … you're still one step ahead of me."
Reaching out to pick up the document, Ning Guodong weighed it in his hand and sneered. A hint of viciousness appeared in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Forget it. So what if I was used by you? Anyway … I can't wait any longer."
