On the way to the banquet, Xiao Tian was amazed by the scenery. Many trees and hills decorated both sides of the road.

Not only that, but Xiao Tian was also able to see several mountains from small mountains to big and high mountains. The closer they were to their destination, the less often they saw the cars on the road.

Even though several people still used cars and motorcycles, but many people also used bicycles as a means of transportation. He even often saw people walking on the road.

'No wonder the air here is still fresh. They prefer to use bicycles as a means of transportation.'

After seeing his surroundings, Xiao Tian believed that he would be able to see stars at night in many places because there was almost no pollution in Hongdu town.

"The scenery is good, right?" Lan Ruoxi spoke abruptly.

"Yes." Xiao Tian responded as he nodded his head.

"It will be more beautiful at dawn and night." The reason Lan Ruoxi knew about it was that she had visited the Hongdu town in the past.

"I think so too." Xiao Tian agreed with Lan Ruoxi's words "Did you often come to his town in the past?"

"I came to this town several times in the past." Lan Ruoxi suddenly remembered the time when she enjoyed the beautiful scenery with her friends in the past.

"What did you do in this town?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.

"Secret." Lan Ruoxi replied as she winked her left eye.

The corner of his lips twitched after hearing her words. Because she didn't want to tell him about it, Xiao Tian decided not to ask again.

When they arrived at their destination, Xiao Tian saw a huge and luxurious villa. The iron fence was as high as three meters with two people in black standing on either both side of the entrance gate.

The words 'Phoenix Villa' decorated the entrance gate with its beauty. Coupled with the decoration of Phoenix that spread its wings above the 'Phoenix Villa' words, made everyone know that Phoenix Villa was a luxurious villa.

After Xiao Tian parked the car, Lan Ruoxi and he marched toward the villa. Like usual, before they entered the villa, two people in black stopped them.

One of them immediately spoke, "Please show me the invitation card."

Lan Ruoxi showed them the invitation card and spoke, "This is my invitation card. He came here as my date."

"Please come in, miss." The guards knew that people who got invited were allowed to bring one person with them.

Because Lan Ruoxi was the person who got invited, the guards ignored Xiao Tian. Usually, the people who came as partners were not important.

That was why they ignored Xiao Tian. Because they had never seen Xiao Tian, they were even sure that Xiao Tian was nobody.

Xiao Tian had guessed that the guards would ignore him like that, but he didn't care about it. He didn't want to waste his time with the guards because it was not worth it.

As soon as Xiao Tian stepped into the villa, he saw Su Lique and Chen Yueli.

They are also invited?! It seems they are quite influential in Beijing. Xiao Tian thought to himself.

When Su Lique saw Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi, she immediately walked towards them "Oh you two also got invited by the Qing family?"

Actually, Su Lique was surprised when she noticed Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi. They were not from Beijing, so she didn't expect the Qing family would invite them too. She thought Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi came to Beijing for a vacation.

"We meet again, Director Su." Xiao Tian spoke as he smiled. "My lover is the one who got invited by the Qing family. I only came to accompany her."

When everyone saw Su Lique talking to Xiao Tian, they started to wonder who he was.

"Who is he? Why have I never seen him before?"

"I also don't know him. It seems like he is nobody."

"How come he talks to director Su?"

"I don't know. I also want to know about it."

"Did he come with that woman?"

"Whoa! Who is that woman next to him? She has a pretty face and a sexy body."

"What did he do to make him her date?"

"I also want to know about it."

"I start to envy him. Not only did he know director Su, but his date is beautiful and sexy too."

When they saw Lan Ruoxi, they began to praise her beauty. They found it hard to believe that Xiao Tian could become a partner of a pretty lady like Lan Ruoxi.

Xiao Tian could only sigh when they began to talk about him.

'Sigh. Why am I always become the center of attention?'

Xiao Tian started to hate elite families because they always looked at people based on their wealth or influence.

"Oh!" Su Lique was startled after hearing Xiao Tian's words. Because Lan Ruoxi was invited by the Qing family, Su Luque knew that Lan Ruoxi was an influential or wealthy person.

She suddenly wanted to know what Lan Ruoxi did for living because she had never heard of Lan Ruoxi's name before.

"Yang, wait here. I want to go to the restroom first." Lan Ruoxi spoke abruptly

"All right." Xiao Tian replied instantly.

As Lan Ruoxi was in the restroom, Xiao Tian was talking with Su Lique and Chen Yueli. The longer they talked, the closer they became.

Of course, it made Xiao Tian happy because he would need Su Lique's help him develop his businesses which were located in Beijing.

'Why isn't she back yet?'

It had been fifteen minutes since Lan Ruoxi went to the restroom.

Because Xiao Tian wanted to know what happened to Lan Ruoxi, he immediately spoke, "Lady Su, Lady Chen, I want to find Ruoxi first. I want to know why she hasn't come back yet?"

"All right." Su Lique replied.

Without waiting for another second, Xiao Tian walked towards the woman's restroom. Because the washrooms for women and men were next to each other, Xiao Tian didn't feel embarrassed when he was standing in front of the toilet.

'Why hasn't she come out of the restroom yet?'

At first, Xiao Tian wanted to call her but decided not to do that.

'The banquet will start in ten minutes. If she's still in the toilet, we'll be late later. Wait! Did something happen to her?'

Xiao Tian began to think that something bad happened to Lan Ruoxi. He wanted to enter the women's washroom to check her condition, but he was afraid of the consequences later. For this reason, Xiao Tian kept waiting in front of the restroom.

"Kyaa.." suddenly a female voice that was similar to Lan Ruoxi's voice could be heard in his ears.

Because Xiao Tian thought it was Lan Ruoxi's voice, he immediately dashed to the women's restroom. He no longer cared about the consequences because Lan Ruoxi's condition was more important.

"Ruoxi, are you alright?" Xiao Tian said worriedly.

However, he didn't see Lan Ruoxi in the restroom; instead, he saw a familiar figure in the washroom. That figure was none other than Yi Wenxin, an officer who almost killed him once.
