From Sidekick to Bigshot

Was it another competitor? Or were they conspiring something else?

Last time, Feng Wei had also given Jian Yiling similar information. This meant that the other party wasn’t just investigating her on a whim.

Diana continued to message Jian Yiling: [Darling, don’t worry about it. We will eliminate all potential dangers for you.]

As XDL was worried that the other party might cause harm to Jian Yiling, they decided to take the initiative to expose the other party.

Jian Yiling paused for a moment before she sent over another message:

[Send me relevant information about the Harmony League.]

A minute later, Jian Yiling received a copy of the information on her phone.

This was all the information that they had discovered so far.

The Harmony League was a newly established business alliance.

Compared to the Loyalty Alliance which was led by the Zhai family, the establishment time of the Harmony League was considered quite short.

Unlike the low-key nature of the Loyalty Alliance, the Harmony League’s actions were unlike its name at all. Instead, they acted decisively and brashly.

In just three years, they managed to achieve a level of power that could not be underestimated by any business or industry. It appeared as though they were creating a new force in Beijing where the Qin and Zhai family had previously been dominant.

However, everyone did not know much about the Harmony League’s members. Everyone only knew that there was a substantial number of people working for the Harmony League. In addition, there was a professional investment team that could easily manipulate the financial markets.

Why was such a business alliance interested in Jian Yiling?

XDL could not make sense of the situation.

However, they could potentially cause Jian Yiling trouble. And thus, it was better to deal with them as soon as possible.

The Hanging Gardens Restaurant was a restaurant that had rather distinctive features.

The restaurant was located on the rooftop of a twenty-two-story building.

Its roof and surroundings were made of glass.

Furthermore, the restaurant was filled with flowers. There were flowers of all different kinds of valuable varieties.

For example, there were orchids, peonies, and exotic succulents.

Other than being a prime dating destination, this place was also a haven for many flower lovers.

The restaurant was only open at night. During the day, it was reserved for the plants to grow.

In addition, if it was a clear day, everyone could see the starry night above the bustling city of Beijing. It was quite romantic.

As this restaurant required reservations two months in advance, it was difficult to predict whether it would be sunny or rainy on that night.

In the evening, Mr. Kevin showed up at the restaurant on time.

He booked a desk at the very edge of the restaurant. This meant that he could see the stars above and also the lights of the city below.

This time, in order to draw out the people investigating Jian Yiling, Mr. Kevin went out of his way to do it himself.

On the other hand, Han Mengyu also arrived at the restaurant. He sat down at a table more than ten meters away from Mr. Kevin.

In order to not attract attention, he also brought a female companion with him.

Han Mengyu had Bluetooth wireless earphones in one ear. This allowed him to keep in touch with Zhai Yunsheng and the others.

Zhai Yunsheng also arranged for other people to be stationed inside the restaurant.

This meant that Zhai Yunsheng could receive information from them at all times.

At this moment, Zhai Yunsheng himself was in his company’s office.

On one monitor, he was receiving messages from his subordinates and men.

On the other hand was his chat interface with the Eddington Mathematical Association.

In the past, Zhai Yunsheng basically played around with everything. Of course, this included mathematics. It was a way for him to kill time.

Out of boredom, he joined and became a member of the Eddington Mathematical Association.

The people of this association were passionate about answering all kinds of mathematical problems. Often, these problems had not been answered so far.
