Lin ixin played Canon.
It was still without any highlights, just error-free.
The audience all gave a round of applause.
Duanmu Yunji was the last to take the stage. As soon as she stepped up, murmurs started from below.
Wearing a luxury dress worth over a million, Duanmu Yunji carried it off with ease—after all, this Capital City Great Cat stood at a lofty 1.76 ters. She moved with graceful steps, as though she was born to thrive on the stage.
As the first note sounded, Luofeng was certain about Duanmu Yunji’s piece—it was "Our Love," which the two of them often played together. Was Duanmu Yunji really going to present this song for the invitation performance segnt?
In the fourth row behind Luofeng, to the left, a bespectacled man gazed adoringly at Duanmu Yunji and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Isn’t this piano-playing beauty just too gorgeous?"
"Wang Qitian, do you know who she is?" the bespectacled man asked.
Wang Qitian cautioned, "Buddy, I advise you not to entertain any ideas about her!"
"Huh? What do you an?" Chen Xirui asked in confusion.
"Her na is Duanmu Yunji, a piano major at the Official Music Academy, and her boyfriend is a rising star in the Capital City circles. I believe you’ve heard of the na Luofeng, right?" Wang Qitian explained.
"The one involved with the Honda plan?" Chen Xirui inquired.
"Yes, that’s him. Brother Duanmu Feng has ntioned that it’s best not to provoke Luofeng. He’s not soone to be trifled with!"
"How formidable is he?" Chen Xirui scoffed. "Brother Feng probably didn’t tell you that Luofeng has recently run into big trouble!"
"Oh? Big trouble?"
"Yeah, Luofeng used the capital from Chen Dali, Lin Xiaoyun, and Li Bo Kai to enter the international gold market. But this ti, the gold operation was clearly a trap set by XX country and XX alliance to play people for a fool. I reckon their loss is quite severe this ti!"
Chen Xirui did not belong to Chen Er Gou’s Chen Family in Capital City. He was from the Chen family in Jinling. In terms of strength, the Chen family in Jinling had already surpassed the Chen Family in Capital City. The key point was that the two families were related by blood, direct descendants from a common ancestor—a case of one clan dividing into two branches.
"Oh? Really?" Wang Qitian asked.
"Go ask Duanmu Feng or Chen Er Gou yourself!" Chen Xirui suggested.
Wang Qitian promptly sent a ssage to Chen Er Gou on WeChat. "Er Gou, I’ve encountered a bit of an unexpected situation here!"
Chen Er Gou’s family had gone bankrupt by now. Everyone called him Er Gou. He naturally wasn’t in a position to throw his weight around.
"What’s the situation?" Chen Er Gou ssaged back.
"I’m with Chen Xirui, watching the violin and piano competition," Wang Qitian continued. "He’s taken a liking to Duanmu Yunji and wants to introduce him to her. What do you think about this? By the way, has Luofeng really run into big trouble?"
"It seems so, from what I can tell," Chen Er Gou replied. "The specifics are unclear. But if you guys want to et Duanmu Yunji, I can arrange it. It could also be a way to probe Luofeng’s current situation!"
If the situation isn’t right? Chen Er Gou thought. Could I also get involved? After all, Duanmu Yunji really is beautiful. If Luofeng hasn’t plumted yet, then the ones to face retribution would be those two. Luofeng caused my family to go bankrupt. We must seek revenge.
At this mont, sitting next to Chen Er Gou was naturally his cousin, Chen Hong. His cousin, Chen Hong, was from the most powerful branch of the Chen Family in Capital City. Chen Ergou now depended on this cousin for his living expenses.
"Fengshun Investnt Company has been too quiet recently; I feel sothing’s not right!" Chen Ergou added. His aning was clear: there might be a problem, and I’ve warned them. If they insist on stirring things up, then the bla? I, Chen Ergou, won’t take it.
After putting down his phone, Chen Ergou smiled faintly. I hope these two guys can dig up so useful information. As for the cost of probing?
Heh, I, Chen Ergou, am quite fond of setting people up like this, aren’t I?
"Ergou, you really are a cunning one," Chen Hong said, giving him a thumbs-up.

Onstage, Duanmu Yunji finished her piece.
Luofeng clapped vigorously, Qin Rubing also clapped along, and naturally, the others gave polite applause as well.
Duanmu Yunji bowed slightly to the audience, then left the stage with decorum.
Watching Duanmu Yunji’s departure, Chen Xirui in the fourth row imdiately called out, "Wang Qitian, let’s go backstage! That woman who just perford—I’m going to have her!"
This ti Chen Xirui’s voice was quite loud. Luofeng heard it too.
Wang Qitian? This na? Luofeng muttered to himself. It sounds sowhat familiar...
Watching Chen Xirui and Wang Qitian head towards the backstage, Luofeng also pulled Qin Rubing and followed.
The two of them ran and soon arrived backstage. Wang Qitian and Chen Xirui, wearing staff badges, naturally went unimpeded.
When the two arrived backstage, they happened to et Duanmu Yunji who had just co down from the stage.
Kang Min was saying to Duanmu Yunji, "The piece you just played wasn’t the best choice. You should have chosen a traditional piano piece! It would have been easier to earn a good feeling from the audience!"
Although Kang Min had ntioned this to Duanmu Yunji and Lin Hui from the beginning, Lin Hui, seemingly doting on her student, had gone along with Duanmu Yunji’s choice.
"Teacher Kang, it was just an invitation performance segnt. If it were a formal competition, of course I’d follow the competition’s requirents!" Duanmu Yunji said.
"You!" Kang Min sighed. She knew this piece was a special one for Duanmu Yunji and Luofeng.
"Hello, beauty!" At this ti, Chen Xirui began to make his move.
Duanmu Yunji looked at Chen Xirui with puzzlent, her eyes flicking to the staff badges he and Wang Qitian wore. "Hello, may I help you?"
"My na is Chen Xirui, from Tianhong Investnt Company in Jinling. I’m currently the project manager there," Chen Xirui said, laying his cards on the table. "I’d like to get to know you!"
Duanmu Yunji frowned and ignored Chen Xirui completely. What a nutcase, she thought.
"Beauty, you’re being a bit disrespectful, aren’t you?" Chen Xirui huffed.
"Oh? And why should she give you any face?" At this mont, Luofeng stepped forward, speaking on behalf of Duanmu Yunji.
"Oh? You must be Luofeng?" Chen Xirui turned to look at Luofeng. He’s got a bit of a handso vibe, hasn’t he?
Wow, he knows ? That’s interesting! Luofeng was secretly surprised.
After all, Luofeng had originally assud this person was hitting on Duanmu Yunji because he didn’t know who Luofeng was. And if he didn’t know Luofeng, he wouldn’t know how formidable Luofeng was. In the circles of Capital City, who else would have the guts to ss with Duanmu Yunji?
But now it seed, not only did the other party know Duanmu Yunji, but he also knew him.
So? Is this a deliberate provocation?
