Chapter 606
After lunch, they went back respectively. Fade rested for a few hours before receiving a call from
Mnie again in the evening.
Fade picked up the phone and answered with a smile, "Director Yu!"
"President Chen, are you freeter? I''d like to have dinner with you tonight."
Mnie''s invitation caused Fade to freeze for a while. After all, they just had lunch together at noon.
Why would Mnie want to have dinner with him again in the evening? Come to think of it, she
sounded slightly strange as well.
When Fade fell silent, Mnie, who was on the other end of the line, added with some
disappointment, "If you are not free, then maybe next time."
Fade felt that there was something wrong with her, so he immediately replied, "Director Yu, I am
free. Let''s have dinner together tonight. Where are you?"
There was a hint of surprise in Mnie''s tone. She spoke quickly, "I''ve already booked a table at
the restaurant. All you have to do ise over."
"Okay! Director Yu, please wait for a moment. I''ll be right there. See youter," Fade said.
Hanging up the phone, Fade frowned. He could tell that there was something wrong with Mnie.
She must have encountered some trouble.
Thinking of this, Fade got changed in an instant and rushed to the appointed hotel.
When Fade arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Mnie greeted him with a bright smile. She
also extended her right hand to shake hands with him and said, "President Chen, long time no see."
Fade was slightly dumbfounded. Staring at Mnie, he said, "Sister Mnie, we are not here on
official business. There''s no need to be so polite."
As he said that, he was about to hug Mnie. At that moment, a middle-aged woman in her fifties
came out from behind Mnie.
The woman had short hair and she was wearing a ck close- fitting jacket. She looked austere
and neat, with her whole jacket buttoned tightly to the top.
She came to Mnie''s side and said coldly, "Mnie, I''ll take charge of the guest."
Then, the she strode in front of Mnie. She cast a nce at Fade, gesturing for him to enter the
hotel emotionlessly, "President Chen, pleasee in."
The situation frightened Fade. He nced at the middle-aged woman and then at Mnie with a
questioning gaze.
At this moment, Mnie stood behind the middle- aged woman with an embarrassed smile on her
face. When she caught sight of Fade''s looking at her, she could only nod and smile apologetically.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman silently stood between the two to stop them from staring at
each other. Then, she gazed at Fade and uttered in a cold tone, "President Chen, pleasee in."
Fade nodded and then followed her into the hotel without a word.
When he entered the hotel, the middle-aged woman invited Fade to sit opposite Mnie. Then, she
just stood there and observed the two of them.
The situation made Fade feel a little uneasy.
Mnie was also frowning. She looked at the middle- aged woman and said, "Aunt, President Chen
and I are going to discuss our business affairs. Why don''t you take a rest first?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head and replied, "It''s great that you''re going to talk about
business affairs. Your business is also considered part of the family business. So, I''ll keep an eye
on you."
Mnie''s expression was helpless. As Mnie wanted to exin something, her aunt did not buy it
at all and had no intention of leaving.
Given the situation, Mnie could only cast a helpless nce at Fade, and then she began to talk
about inviting Winnie Huo to endorse Emerald Plum Jewels.
This was what they had talked about at noon, so Fade had no problem talking about it again.
Eventually, they ended up just repeating what they had already discussed.
Mnie''s aunt listened to their conversation for a while and nodded slightly. Finally, she stood up
and said, "Since it''s about business, you guys can take your time. I''ll leave first."
"Alright, Aunt. Take care!" Mnie uttered.
Then, she stared at her aunt until she waspletely out of sight. It was only then that she heaved
a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically at Fade, saying, "Mr. Chen, I''m sorry. I asked you out, but it
turned out that..."
Fade waved his hand and said, "Sister Mnie, you don''t have to apologise to me. I know that you
must have your reasons. Can you tell me what is going on?"

Upon hearing his question, Mnie''s face fell, and she looked somewhat hesitant.
Finally, she made up her mind as she looked at Fade and exined, "Actually, I came to Long City
for something else apart from the endorsement contract."
Fade was shocked. He looked at Mnie and asserted, "Sister Mnie, no matter what problem
you''re encountering now, I''m just a call away. If there''s anything I can help you with, I''ll make sure to
give it my all."
Mnie nodded to Fade with a grateful smile as she said, "Fade, thank you very much. In fact, this
is rted to my birth, I..."
Just as Mnie was about to reveal it to Fade, amotion suddenly broke out.
"There! They''re over there! Hurry up!"
"Surround them. Don''t let anybody leave!"
"Keep them here. Master Chang will be here right away."
Amongst the shouts, Fade and Mnie turned their heads around and saw a group of men around
the ages of 20 to 30 years old who were dressed in ck. They rushed into the hotel and
surrounded the two of them swiftly. They looked aggressive, as if they were going to beat them up.
Mnie trembled in fear when she caught sight of the situation.
Fade frowned as he got up to stand beside Mnie. He threw a cold nce at the people around
him and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"
As soon as Fade finished asking, he heard a sinisterugh from behind the crowd, "Director Yu and
Mr. Chen, did you forget what you had done to me already?"
With that, the men in ck cleared a path for the mastermind. Then, a man in a wheelchair rolled
towards them slowly.
As soon as they saw the man in the wheelchair, Fade and Mnie''s eyes widened as they
eximed, "It''s you!"
The man in the wheelchair red at Mnie and Fade, his eyes glowing with hatred. He gnashed
his teeth and said, "Since you still recognise me, it''s time to pay the price for my legs."
The man in the wheelchair was none other than Felipe Chang, the person whom Director Qin had
invited topete with Mnie at the jewellery fair previously. At that time, Fade defeated him and
broke his legs.
Fade vaguely remembered that Felipe had mentioned that he was a member of the Lightning n
and that he wanted Fade to let him go.
Now, it looked like Felipe was here with the members of the Lightning n to take revenge on him.
