Chapter 36: Provoking Even If You Can’t Afford To
Chi Che paused his hand rubbing the jade stones.
Sixteen burst out laughing:
“Miss Chi Wan, you must be joking. Our Young Master doesn’t have a sweetheart.”
“Everyone outside is looking for you everywhere. In order not to cause trouble for the Federation, we must announce the news that you are here.”
Chi Wan knew she couldn’t insist, so she shut her mouth dejectedly.
Who was she anyway? No money, no power. Thinking she could bribe them to help her leave was simply wishful thinking.
Less than ten minutes after Sixteen sent the message, Chi Wan saw several spaceships from the window.
Chi Wan’s hand gripping the windowsill tightened, feeling inexplicably nervous.
…
“Patriarch, you must control your temper. They said the Young Miss is physically unharmed.”
Chi Yuzhou’s face was dark, not listening to a word from the person beside him.
Pu Jing, the old butler of the Chi family, continued to advise earnestly.
In front of them, a huge star screen clearly displayed seven detailed identity profiles.
“Let’s not talk about Li Su, the future Marshal heir of the Interstellar Legion, and Cang Lin, who has a powerful background and noble bloodline.
Pei Yuan, who caused the Young Miss’s accident, controls half of the Interstellar Research Institute. Falling out with him means we lose qualification to compete for all ability orbs.
The mastermind behind the largest underground trading organization in the galaxy is that Shi Ye. Many of our businesses are connected to him.
Yun Qi is the supreme commander of the Interstellar Warship Fleet, also not someone to be trifled with. Although the fleet belongs to the Interstellar Legion, it is managed independently with different divisions of labor, and his status is unshakable.
The industries under Qi Ye’s name involve the galaxy’s largest arms manufacturing. We need to get a lot of goods from him.
Oh, and there’s that Shen Yu. The Shen family’s foundation is no weaker than ours, only we lean towards commerce, and they lean towards martial arts.
Not to mention that these seven also have significant status in the Federation. Although the Federation needs to give us some face, they definitely won’t offend them just for our Chi family.
Patriarch, you must restrain yourself!
We might as well just take the Young Miss away directly and not blow this matter up too big.”
It would have been fine if Pu Jing hadn’t spoken, but the more he spoke, the angrier Chi Yuzhou became.
“Do you need to remind me again and again? Pu Jing, you talk too much today!”
From the moment his precious daughter decided to come to the Alliance, he had investigated and researched the backgrounds of these seven people over and over again.
Of course he knew they were powerful and not to be offended.
He had repeatedly tried to dissuade her from coming. In the Chi family, he could protect her no matter who she offended. In this dragon’s pool and tiger’s den, he was genuinely afraid he couldn’t protect her.
But that was his precious daughter. suffering such a great grievance, he, Chi Yuzhou, would vent her anger even if it meant going bankrupt!
As soon as the spaceship landed, Chi Yuzhou walked down.
Eager to see his daughter, his pace was extremely fast.
Inside a spaceship following closely behind, Federation Manager Kui Chuan also looked anxious.
“Mr. Chi.”
Sixteen, waiting on the first floor, saw the middle-aged man almost rushing in and looked respectful:
“Miss Chi Wan is right…”
Chi Yuzhou looked back in the direction he pointed.
He saw a petite white figure crawling and twisting on the wooden stairs.
“Wan Wan!”
Chi Yuzhou’s voice trembled, tears streaming down his face as he rushed over!
His precious daughter… when had his precious daughter ever crawled on the ground like a dog!
“Miss!”
Pu Jing was also heartbroken.
His Young Miss had grown up riding on the backs of these butlers, making them crawl. When had she ever crawled herself!
Sixteen, reacting, strode over, pulled the white clothes, and threw them.
A plump little yellow dog stuck out its tongue, wagging its tail and lifting its small dog head, eyes watery.
Chi Yuzhou, halfway through his tears, froze on the spot.
The next second, he heard a crisp voice:
“Dad.”
At the top of the stairs, Chi Wan, wearing ill-fitting, oversized clothes, ran down quickly.
Her posture was lively, her face rosy.
Clearly, she had recovered very well.
Chi Yuzhou’s heart settled heavily, and he hurriedly opened his arms toward Chi Wan:
“Come to Dad quickly, let Dad see where you’re hurt.”
The little yellow dog, chased away by Sixteen, hopped and skipped into the inner room.
It wagged its tail and settled quietly into the dog bed next to the recliner.
The man on the recliner looked leisurely and at ease.
“Young Master, aren’t you going out to show your face?”
“No need. It’s fine to sell this favor in Sixteen’s name. He manages most of the business in this galaxy.”
