Chapter 720: Urgent News!
Xiangyi remained in the car, patiently waiting for the traffic to subside as Shi Yuting continued walking further and further away.
But the process of waiting was a little long. Xiangyi looked out of the car window, bored.
His current location was not far from the main city. As he looked out, he saw the huge advertisement screen above a building.
“This evening, we have some urgent news to report. This morning, five felons escaped from Z City’s First Prison. Their whereabouts are currently unknown. Please pay attention to these faces. If you find them, contact the police immediately. Here are the photos of the five felons.”
When the photos of the felons were displayed, Xiangyi’s gaze fell on the third one and his pupils constricted!
Wasn’t that...?
How did she manage to escape the First Prison?!
After awhile, he finally came to his senses. His pair of deep eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
Should he inform His Excellency about Jing Xinlei’s escape from the prison?
As he was thinking, a horn suddenly sounded.
“Beep! Beep!”
Xiangyi came back to his senses and realized that the traffic accident in front of him seemed to have been dealt with and traffic was flowing again.
He hurriedly shifted in position and drove towards Joss Hotel.
At 7:45 P.M., Shi Yuting finally arrived at the seventh floor of the Joss Hotel.
He ran all the way, but his face was not red and he was not out of breath.
As he entered the banquet hall, he saw that many guests had gathered. Besides a few famous officials from the Z Country’s business world, there were also dignitaries from all over the world who came to congratulate Zuo Yi.
With a sharp glance, he saw Gu Yansheng chatting and laughing with his wife not far away from the hall.
His eyes darkened slightly. Just as he was about to walk over, a voice called out to him.
“Mr. Shi.”
Shi Yuting turned around and saw Manli walking towards him from not far away.
Knowing that it was the birthday of the former president of C Country, Manli’s father had specially instructed her to come congratulate him.
“As the grandson-in-law, not only are you late, but you also impolite.” Manli held a wine glass in her hand as she walked over gracefully.
The waiter passed by before pausing for Shi Yuting to grab a glass of wine to clink with her.
“Miss Manli, have you recovered from your foot injury?” His voice was very faint, but it still indicated that he had some basic etiquette.
“Thank you, Mr. Shi, for your concern. I have almost recovered.” As soon as Manli finished speaking, her gaze swept behind and around him. “Your assistant didn’t come today?”
Hearing this, Shi Yuting furrowed his brows. “Are you interested in my assistant?”
Manli smiled gently. “Can’t I be?”
He was silent for half a second before opening his thin lips. “You can, but my assistant is very stubborn. It’s very difficult to change what he has set his mind on. If Miss Manli is really interested in him, she might have to put in some effort on him.”
Manli chuckled. “Well, I was initially interested in you, but,” she paused and stared into his deep black eyes, before continuing, “you love your wife too much. Even if I wanted to snatch you away, it seems unlikely. So, I changed my target. And I think your assistant is not bad either.”
As he looked at the elegant woman standing in front of him, he opined that she was indeed worthy of being the heir to the royal family.
Shi Yuting smiled but did not take her words to heard. Instead, he said, “He’s been delayed by some matters. He should be arriving soon.”
In the hall, as Zuo Weiyi could not drink, she could only hold a glass of fruit juice. While chatting with Gu Yansheng, there suddenly seemed to be an inexplicable magnetic force that attracted her gaze in a direction.
