Imperial Night Banquet Club.
Pei Wei had already arranged a private room, waiting for Mu Chaohuan’s arrival.
This is not only the top club in Imperial City, but globally, it’s also a very high-end establishment.
Mu Chaohuan was filled with anger in his heart; as long as Mu Anhan was willing, he would risk everything to take her away.
Unfortunately, Mu Anhan was unwilling to leave Gu Xiaozhan.
Even though he knew Gu Xiaozhan’s strength, for the happiness of his younger sister, he was willing to fight.
Sitting in the taxi, he thought about the hardships his little sister had endured over the years, feeling sad about his inability to help.
His phone made a notification sound, and upon checking, he found it was about local news.
He frowned slightly; he hadn’t paid much attention to local news since returning to Imperial City. Was it automatically pushed by the service providers?
He was always focused on academics and rarely paid attention to current events.
Just as he was about to close the app, he spotted a news piece about Pei Wei.
Upon opening it, he discovered a scene of Pei Wei being taken away by special police at the airport...
For some reason, Mu Chaohuan felt a little uncomfortable after seeing it.
Even during his high school years, he seldom interacted with the children of officials or affluent families; he preferred to focus on his studies and didn’t like associating with such people.
This time, he returned to Imperial City for a break, and Pei Wei reached out to him proactively.
Primarily because Pei Wei said he could lend a hand to help rescue his little sister, Mu Anhan, from the clutches of the demon Gu Xiaozhan.
What Mu Chaohuan valued the most besides his work was his youngest sister.
After the driver parked, Mu Chaohuan got out of the car and looked at the opulent club, filled with luxury and glamour, and couldn’t help but furrow his brows again.
Although he grew up in Imperial City, he wasn’t familiar with these places.
He would have preferred Pei Wei to meet him at a quiet teahouse where they could sip tea, chat, and reminisce.
Thinking of Pei Wei’s offer to assist him, Mu Chaohuan steeled himself and went inside.
After being led to the private room by a hostess, Pei Wei was seated with two young and beautiful women beside him.
"Chao Xian, come sit!" Pei Wei stood up and sized him up, "You’re becoming more charismatic! During school, you were the top student and the campus heartthrob!"
Except, this top student and heartthrob was too aloof, never speaking to the girls, always engrossed in his studies.
After everyone had completed the college entrance exams, they thought he would enroll in Imperial Capital University. Instead, he shocked everyone by choosing to study at a petroleum geology exploration university—a niche field.
Of course, a top student stays a top student; regardless of the industry, he remains a leading professional talent.
Ten years since, Mu Chaohuan’s impression of Pei Wei had already begun to blur.
Seeing him now, still looking like the privileged scion, he started to assess.
"I know you’ve already eaten, come have a drink!" Pei Wei poured him some top-grade red wine and instructed the women beside him to accompany him.
He smiled at Mu Chaohuan and said, "Choose one!"
"No need," Mu Chaohuan refused, frowning.
Pei Wei looked him over and teased, "Could it be that you’re not up to it?"
Though Mu Chaohuan didn’t exhibit the current popular entertainment star’s handsome appearance, he was mature and composed, with a sunny complexion, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, giving a sense of safety.
Mu Chaohuan stood up, without saying a word, and started heading out.
He always held himself to strict academic standards, knowing that he and Pei Wei were not on the same path.
