Song Xiaodong, as the Patriarch of the Su Family, was cordially invited by the Ji Family this time. Despite his dominant position, maintaining relationships is always necessary, so he promptly agreed to attend.
Everyone at home was busy, so he hadn't brought any of his wives along.
Several of the most important figures from the Ji Family accompanied Song Xiaodong as he walked into the hall. Inside, the Ji Family's prominent members eagerly approached him, enthusiastically greeting him.
Blocked by others, Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling had not yet caught sight of Song Xiaodong, only knowing that he had arrived.
Noticing that everyone's attention was focused over there, Lin Shu whispered immediately, "Let's see if there's a chance to slip away."
The two began moving along the outskirts of the crowd toward the doorway, only to find several men dressed in black standing there. It was clear that escaping wouldn't be possible.
