The group continued to have a joyous conversation over dinner.
All of a sudden, Gu Junling said, "The Xiasi Group is going through a tumultuous time now. I heard that the newly appointed leader of the Xiasi Group is ruthless and cruel. He has retrenched lots of experienced and elderly employees and replaced them with new blood. I even heard that those retrenched employees are offering a hundred million dollars to anyone who can have the new leader killed!"
Upon hearing his words, Wen Xinya dropped her chopsticks on the floor, producing a loud and crisp sound. Zhou Tianyu frantically handed her a new pair of chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you still so distracted?"
"I'm alright," answered Wen Xinya, shaking her head and turning pale. She couldn't help but feel ill at ease and flustered.
Zhou Tianyu did not notice the change in her expression because of the dim lights in the dining room.
