NOVEL NEXT Chapter 437: Which Enemy?
Fang Feifei's smile had become somewhat stiff, as she had been continuously greeting people for half an hour, which had also tired her some.
Yet with so many people present, it wasn't possible for Fang Feifei to simply stop greeting the newcomers after she had been welcoming others just moments before.
Wang Ye noticed Fang Feifei's fatigue and promptly stepped forward, directing his gaze towards others, with a sea of faces behind them, immediately saying to them,
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the near future, our Fang Family Jewelry Store will be hosting a launch event in cooperation with the Yao Family Jewelry Group. At that time, we will invite industry insiders to join us. I hope you won't miss it, as we really are pressed for time today."
With these words, Wang Ye immediately let the approaching crowd know that he and Fang Feifei were not planning to entertain guests any further. Yet, his remark also offered these people an opportunity, so they did not say anything.
Instead, they dispersed amidst the sounds of Wang Ye's expressions of gratitude.
After the crowd had left, Wang Ye, looking at Fang Feifei, spoke to her with a hint of reproach,
"When you tire yourself out, don't you think to find a way to ease your burden, or you could simply hand over some tasks to me. If I hadn't spoken up just now, were you planning to greet that entire throng of people?"
Although Wang Ye was scolding her, Fang Feifei did not feel angry at all but instead cracked a smile and replied somewhat proudly,
"It's fine. From the beginning, I knew that even if I didn't say anything, you would definitely stand up and take care of it for me."
That very night, Wang Ye left Magic Capital directly.
Even though the awards ceremony was scheduled for the next day, and Wang Ye, as the strongest contestant in Dragon Country's jewelry competition, would undoubtedly be the center of attention at the awards ceremony, he still chose to leave the night before.
The first reason was that Wang Ye knew that although the Fang Family Jewelry Store had become a part of the Suye Group through collaboration, Fang Feifei was still largely seen as the boss on the surface.
If he were to show up at the awards ceremony tomorrow, he would be directly overshadowing Fang Feifei, thus diminishing her influence within the Fang Family Jewelry Store.
This was something Wang Ye did not wish to see.
Furthermore, Wang Ye also knew that if he did not leave now, many people would likely come to visit him, but he did not really need these visits at this time.
He needed more time to deal with some other matters.
Moreover, the Fang Family Jewelry Store had not yet completed its growth. Although it was poised to take off soon, some of the higher-status jewelry groups still had not changed their impression of their store. They could only wait until the Fang Family Jewelry Store reached a certain level before negotiating with those higher-status jewelry groups for potentially better results.
...
On the plane, Wang Ye had his eyes closed, remaining motionless for a long time, his breathing even slowing down to a very gentle state, making him appear as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
However, Wang Ye had not actually fallen asleep.
Since before he boarded the plane, he had sensed many people's gazes fixed upon him.
Someone was following him!
Therefore, Wang Ye's current state, appearing to be asleep, was actually a ploy to draw out those following him.
Those who were tracking him would be very vigilant while he was awake but would relatively lower their guard once he seemed to have been deep in sleep for a while, thus exposing themselves more quickly to his perception.
Mainly, those tracking Wang Ye probably could not imagine that, even with his eyes closed, he could still observe everything around him by sensing his surroundings.
In one sense, Wang Ye had his eyes closed, but in another, he had never closed his eyes at all.
One...
Two...
Three...
Wang Ye identified one after another the individuals tracking him, and ultimately, Wang Ye found out that there were five people following him.
The expression on Wang Ye's face was unprecedentedly grave.
If these five individuals tracking him were merely ordinary people, it would have been fine, but the crux of the issue was that these five individuals were not ordinary people.
They were Martial Warriors.
Fourth Grade Martial Warriors.
Five Fourth Grade Martial Warriors!
And Wang Ye himself was merely a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior as well.
Although Wang Ye felt confident that no single Fourth Grade Martial Warrior could defeat him given his strength, the key issue was that if five Fourth Grade Martial Warriors were to attack him...
That would be problematic.
Although Wang Ye was somewhat surprised, at this moment, he wasn't shocked; instead, he was analyzing the situation very calmly.
The more dire the situation, the calmer Wang Ye became, not panicked at all, as if he was born with this skill.
What was the reason these five Martial Warriors were tracking him?
As for how these five Martial Warriors had discovered his trail, Wang Ye felt he didn't really need to think about it much. A simple guess would suffice to know.
After all, because of the commotion caused by the Dragon Country Jewelry Competition online, it was incredibly easy for these people to find him.
They just needed to look for him directly!
But the crucial question was, what was the purpose of these five Martial Warriors in finding him?
To eliminate him?
People from the Martial Arts Association?
Or experts from the Yao Family Jewelry Group?
Or perhaps, experts from other Jewelry Groups?
Or... the Martial Warriors from other prominent families within the West Mountain Provincial Government?
For a moment, Wang Ye was uncertain about whose representatives these five Martial Warriors were, considering he had offended too many people. Even encountering enemies, Wang Ye couldn't pinpoint which side had sent them.
Wang Ye contemplated his strategy.
Soon, Wang Ye opened his eyes, and the moment Wang Ye opened his eyes, all five Martial Warriors shifted their gazes away, no longer keeping him under surveillance.
