What Ji Bonong had said... was exactly the same as what Lin Jie had just said. There was not the slightest difference!
Naturally, Fei Qi and Lin Jie also keenly noticed something else. According to what Ji Bonong had just said, this weather phenomenon called "reverse lightning" was a "rare phenomenon that had never been seen before." Furthermore, it had just been named...
In other words, this was a phenomenon that had never been seen before. It only just had its own name.
So here was the question...
How did Boss Lin in front of him know that it was called "Reverse Lightning" before Ji Bonong got the news?
Everyone knew that Luo Er Resources had a monopoly in the Nuo Jin business. Everyone had to admit that as a behemoth that covered almost all fields, it had countless resources, including intelligence.
This was also why, although there were many rich and powerful people present, no one chose to send their own people to investigate. Instead, they all waited where they were.
Because everyone knew that the speed at which they got the news could not be faster than Luo Er Resources, and the accuracy would definitely be far inferior.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Ji Bonong was truly omnipotent.
But it was this kind of omnipotent person who got the news from a so-called weather expert that actually came from the mouth of a bookstore owner in advance.
No, this did not make sense... Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
Yerda felt that she should think about it calmly.
Either that, when Ji Bonong was talking to the weather expert, this seemingly ordinary bookstore owner in front of her actually had more hidden connections. He had planted spies around them, so he knew the news at the same time and said it before Ji Bonong appeared.
But Lin Jie was talking to them just now. It was impossible for him to communicate with anyone else, which meant that this hypothesis was probably not valid.
Then... could it be that Lin Jie knew in advance and even predicted what the weather expert would say? Or maybe he actually said it first, and then it became an established fact...?
Yerda's pupils shrank as she thought about this. At the same time, she felt a chill down her spine. Her scalp felt numb, and goosebumps even appeared on her arms.
As a representative of her family to attend this banquet, Yerda naturally had a sharp enough mind to think and judge the current situation.
Her mind raced, and she subconsciously wanted to cover up her somewhat uncontrollable strange expression. So, she picked up a wine glass on the long table next to her and took a sip, licking her already dry lips.
She realized that she seemed to have been fooled by an "ordinary" bookstore owner just now.
These three possibilities all meant that this so-called "reverse lightning" was definitely not a weather phenomenon, but something else.
If it was the first possibility, then Lin Jie... this guy who claimed to be an ordinary bookstore owner in the conversation just now had an unimaginable background — "lightning" and the weather expert had been deliberately arranged by him.
Although it was impossible to know the reason behind it, if this hypothesis was true, it meant that he had successfully deceived Luo Er Resources!
This was such an incredible and even frightening conjecture...
If it was the second or third possibility, then it meant that what Lin Jie said just now was nonsense. He himself was probably a "superpower user who could fight". As for what that "lightning" was... based on Yerda's own intuition, there was a high possibility that it was sword light.
But no matter which possibility it was, the identity and ability of this young man in front of her was definitely not simple!
He was definitely not an ordinary bookstore owner!
Yerda's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster. Perhaps she was about to come into contact with the other side of this banquet that no one else could see.
She looked around. The guests had already relaxed and started to talk among themselves, preparing for the first warm-up of this banquet — choosing a dance partner.
Everyone had been deceived by Luo Er's resources, and the only abnormality related to the truth was only known by a few people.
And she was one of them.
Then what was the purpose of this mysterious Mr. Lin who had disguised himself so well? What did he have to do with Luo Er's resources? Yerda thought silently.
On the other side, although Fitch had already expected this, he was still stunned.
As an "insider," of course, he knew that Lin Jie's words were nonsense, but he didn't think that this nonsense would be officially verified by Ji Bonong.
To him, there was no other possibility in this situation. It could only be that Lin Jie had used his own ability. As for what kind of ability it was, it was still unknown.
However, Fitch had personally experienced being seen through, so he was inclined to believe that Lin Jie had controlled the mind of the unknown meteorologist and used his mouth to tell Ji Bonong what he had just said.
As for the possibility that "words were law," Fitch didn't dare to think about it.
Although he was shallow, he knew that this kind of ability could only be achieved by those superhumans who were at the top of the Annihilation class and infinitely close to the God class.
"If it's really the latter, then the book in my hand might …" Fitch gulped. He felt the weight in his pocket grow heavier.
The surroundings were bustling with noise and excitement. Only in this small corner, after the two people's expressions changed, suddenly fell into a brief silence. The brown-haired lady in the red dress held her wine in a daze, while the skinny violinist had an uneasy expression.
As for the "culprit" who had triggered their thoughts, Lin Jie, who had been speaking so confidently just a moment ago …
He was already stunned when Ji Bonong appeared on the stage.
As the latter slowly walked down the stairs, Lin Jie maintained the smile on his face. He took two steps back and turned around at the fastest speed in his life, perfectly hiding himself in the crowd.
He picked up a glass of wine and covered his face while he was at it. After confirming that Ji Bonong wasn't looking in his direction or paying attention to him, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Although Boss Lin still looked calm on the surface, his heart was shaking like a horse in a pasture.
F * ck …
The middle-aged driver who had followed Ji Zhixu to the bookstore that day was actually her father, the person in charge of Luo Er Resources, Ji Bonong!
Lin Jie stared at the wine in his glass. When he thought about how he had tricked Ji Zhixu in front of her father, how he had accepted the box of expensive gifts, discussed cooperation, agreed to attend the birthday party, evaluated himself, and … tactfully rejected Ji Zhixu's feelings, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Did all these important people have such a bad taste?!
He had actually pretended to be Ji Zhixu's driver and servant. Could it be that a father wanted to protect his innocent daughter and wanted to see if she had been tricked again?
Whenever Lin Jie thought about the scene, he couldn't help but feel awkward. He had accepted the gifts in front of her father and rejected her feelings … From a certain perspective, wasn't he just a scumbag who cheated her of her money and heart?
But what was even more awkward was that he was already at the scene … This Mr. Ji wouldn't be trying to catch a turtle in a jar, right?
With this thought in mind, Lin Jie subconsciously looked up at Ji Bonong and happened to meet the latter's gaze.
