Chapter 1028
"Who asked you to do this? What do you want to tell her?" Fade asked.
Teresa replied, "I don''t know who the person is as they contacted me through e-mail. They told me
to make sure Lily does not attend tonight''s banquet. If she does, she will bear the consequences of
her decision."
"The banquet at the Government House," said Fade as his expression became stony.
Immediately, he red at Teresa and pressed further, "Are you hiding anything from us?"
"No, that''s all I know," Teresa quickly rified. "I''m a member of the Starwide Gang. I''m only
responsible for sending her the message. I really don''t know anything else."
"Starwide Gang," repeated Fade. He knew a thing or two about that gang.
After all, he had heard of the Starwide Gang when he was dealing with Tiger Gang in Jade City.
The Titan Studio and the Tiger Gang were the martial arts forces of Jade City while the Starwide
Gang was made up of ordinary people. Theirbat skills were inferior to Tiger Gang.
However, the Starwide Gang was greater in numbers, and they were closely affiliated with the
people of Jade City. Therefore, when dealing with disputes within themon folk, the Starwide
Gang was sometimes more efficient than the Tiger Gang.
"Get lost!" Fade could tell that she was truly just a member. Hence, she didn''t know much, and Fade
couldn''t gain more information from her.
Judging from her words, the attack on Lily must be rted to the banquet at the Government
House.
However, the matter did not seem too serious. After all, that girl hadn''t tried to kill Lily. Otherwise,
Lily would have died while Fade was waiting outside for her.
Thinking of that, Fade suddenly felt differently about the banquet at night.
Lily, who had just regained consciousness,forted Fade, "I''m fine, Fade. You don''t have to worry
about it."
Fade med himself, saying, "I failed to protect you, Lily. I put you in danger."
Lily shook her head in response, "Don''t say that. It''s not your responsibility."
Immediately, Lily asked Fade, "By the way, what banquet was that woman talking about?"
Fade revealed a wry smile in response. He took out the invitation card and exined to Lily, "Just
now, Sergeant Xu sent me this invitation. He told me that the Chief Executive has invited us to
attend the banquet tonight at the Government House."
"A banquet at the Government House... Will something important happen?" Lily was a little
surprised.
Fade shook his head and said, "Sergeant Xu didn''t say anything at the time, and I''m in no position
to ask."
Lily fell silent.
Reacting to the situation, Fade inevitably decided, "Lily, why don''t we stay away from this banquet?"
He was really worried about Lily''s safety.
However, Lily shook her head quickly in response to his question. She said, "How can we not go?
This is the Chief Executive’s banquet! If you don’t go, you will leave a bad impression on him. It''s
not good for ourpany."
"I would rather leave a bad impression than put you in danger," Fade said.
Lily refuted him, saying, "Fade, you can''t think like that. Think about it from a different perspective. If
we don''t go, we won''t ever figure out why someone tried to attack me. If that''s the case, I will always
be in danger. On the other hand, attending the dinner party will help us to figure out what is going
on. We''ll have a better shot at resolving this issue."
Fade fell quiet at Lily''s words. After a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement. Her thinking
made sense to him.
Therefore, Fade nodded and said, "Then, let''s go tonight. However, you must stay by my side at all
times."
Lily smiled and said, "Don''t worry, I''m not a kid. I know what to do. How about this? Why don''t I hold
your hand tonight? I won''t let go."
"Well, that''s a good idea," Fade agreed seriously to her casual suggestion. He even took the
initiative to hold Lily''s hand immediately.
Warmth blossomed in Lily''s heart. She did not remove her hand from Fade''s.
After that, Fade and Lily left the mall and returned to thepany with their attire for the evening''s
asion.
Soon, it was evening. Fade and Lily put on the clothes they had bought and drove to the
Government House.
As it was the residence of the Chief Executive of Jade City, the security at the Government House
was top- notch. When they drove into the Government House, they went through various
inspections before they were finally allowed to enter the courtyard.

By the time Fade and Lily arrived, many luxury cars were already parked in the yard.
At a nce, they could see many prominent figures of Jade Cityughing and talking. It was a lively
scene.
Their arrival caught the attention of many people.
After all, Fade had a good reputation in Jade City. It was due to the sudden emergence of the
exhibition, and also his hot- selling Fei Magic Toner.
The seafood poisoning incident had also boosted his influence tremendously. It made Fade a
famous doctor among the people and helped facilitate the establishment of the Sincere Medicine
Center.
Therefore, the gazes of many were fixed on Fade at that moment.
Nevertheless, their eyes were curious and vignt. None of them approached Fade.
After all, they were business leaders in Jade City. Although Fade''s poprity had increased
exponentially among themon folk, it was not a big deal to them as every one of them was a lot
wealthier than Fade.
Instead, it was Lily, who was next to Fade, who attracted many men. They came over to say hello
with a smile, as if they wanted to befriend her.
Beautiful women were always the centre of attention on any asion.
However, Lily treated them indifferently. A faint nod was the most response some of them received.
She even ignored some of them.
As a result, the people casted strange and dissatisfied looks at Fade and Lily.
However, Fade didn''t care about their attitudes. After all, he was there to figure out who the
Starwide Gang members were and what their intentions were.
Therefore, after a brief greeting, Fade and Lily found a ce in a corner by themselves and quietly
observed the situation and the attendees.
