Lin Che looked at the man. By this time, her bodyguard had already settled matters outside. He stood behind Lin Che after coming in. The man looked at Lin Che and was left with no choice but to beg for mercy. “I’m really sorry. I admit that I’m in the wrong, alright? I really shouldn’t have run away. But I really don’t know where exactly he is either.”
Lin Che said, “But you must know some way to contact him or to make him approach you of his own accord. Whatever the case, you better make him come here right now. Otherwise, the fact that you ran away earlier will really piss me off.”
The man looked at her with a troubled expression. After a long while, he finally sighed and said, “Alright, alright. I’ll definitely think of a way. It will probably be impossible to find him. But I think I can contact him in the game.”
Lin Che finally sighed in relief upon hearing this.
It was great that they could get into contact with him. It was worth a try.
However, meanwhile.
Back home, Mo Huiling was listening to the situation outside. The television was on, but there was no news of anyone going missing.
She thought that the situation outside would have gotten chaotic by now, but it seemed that everyone was behaving as if nothing had happened. No one brought up the incident at all.
She could not help but feel slightly anxious.
After waiting at length, she finally received a call from her father.
She hastily picked up.
“Father, what’s going on? Why is there no news of the incident at all?”
Her father replied, “Don’t be anxious. We already instructed someone to do it earlier. But the problem now is that Eric went to the Glazed Tile Palace. No one is daring enough to affect his visit to go there and disturb him. So right now, he still doesn’t know about his daughter’s disappearance.”
“He still doesn’t know? Then, what should we do?”
“Right now we’re thinking of ways to reveal the matter to Eric. Just wait.”
“Father, are you going to send someone to the Glazed Tile Palace to tell Eric? Do you have an acquaintance in the Glazed Tile Palace?”
That was the Glazed Tile Palace, not some casual place.
Mo Huiling’s father said, “Don’t worry. I have my ways. I bribed someone in there. He’s not a prominent figure, but he can still get things done.”
Mo Huiling relaxed a little when she heard this.

While Lin Che was still outside looking for Lu Yunshi, Yu Minmin suddenly called her.
Yu Minmin said, “Gu Jingze gave me a call and told me to go back right now to attend the dinner banquet.”
Lin Che asked in a perplexed tone, “Why?”
Yu Minmin replied, “Eric will attend the dinner banquet tonight. He told me to be vigilant and make sure that no one tells Eric about this first, lest they exaggerate the situation and cause an even greater uproar.”
Alright then, Lin Che thought. Gu Jingze always took everything into consideration.

Yu Minmin returned to the Glazed Tile Palace to attend the banquet. She first went to her room so that the maids could dress and groom her appropriately. Then, Feng Shaoqing called her and asked over the phone, “I’m already at the entrance to the banquet. Will you be coming tonight?”
Yu Minmin said, “Yes, I will be there. But I haven’t made my way there yet.”
Feng Shaoqing smiled and said, “Alright. Then, I’ll see you later.”
After tidying up the place, Yu Minmin walked out. Seeing Linda, she asked, “Where is Mr. President?”
Linda said, “Ma’am, Mr. President is with Mr. Eric right now. The two of them are having a conversation.”
Yu Minmin asked, “There’s no one else there, right?”
“No. Only Mr. President and his guards are there.”
Yu Minmin thought that was fine.
Linda asked, “Is Ma’am going to go over?”
“Oh, there’s no need. I’ll just stay outside and watch.”
She thought that she would just stand outside and watch over them. If she saw anyone suspicious, she could even stop them immediately.
Thus, Yu Minmin went in.
The national banquet was different from an ordinary commercial banquet.
