He continued in a high and mighty tone, “The First Research Institute often needs to participate in seminars around the world. There are most likely related scientific research seminars in Continent M right now. Feng Yu must have asked them to attend it. They just happen to be staying in the same hotel as us.”

Liao Quan used to be from the First Research Institute, so he knew what Ji Xiao was talking about.

He took a deep breath and let it out. He was also beginning to think he was overthinking things. “Maybe I am.”

Ji Xiao snorted. “Definitely!’

As the two of them spoke, Xu Yi returned from his call.

He walked up to Cao Yanhua and the others and said something.

Liao Quan saw them walking straight to the side door as if they were going out.

He wanted to see more clearly, but Ji Xiao grabbed his arm. “Stop looking.

Young Master Lu and the rest are coming down.”

As expected, Lu Yiming and Simon came out of the elevator together.

They were not dressed as formally as the other two. Lu Yiming was dressed casually in a striped T-shirt and beige casual pants.

Simon was a little better. He wore a suit, but it was his usual fit.

They walked towards them.

Liao Quan could only force himself to retract his gaze and follow Ji Xiao.

Outside the hotel.

The chauffeur had been waiting for a long time. He kept looking down at the time.

When Liao Quan and the rest came out, the chauffeur kept a straight face and was obviously perfunctory. “Is everyone here?”

They were famous people in the independent continent, after all. The chauffeur was being too disdainful.

Simon and the others could not help but frown.

Ji Xiao tried his best to smooth things over. He smiled at the chauffeur and said, “There are only so many of us. Everyone is here.”

The chauffeur did not open the door for them. He opened the driver’s door and calmly said, “Then get in. Miss Ji is still waiting for you.”

After saying that, he got into the car and ignored them.

Simon’s expression completely darkened, and his eyes were covered in a layer of haze. However, aware of the strength behind the reclusive families, he could only swallow this anger and get into the car.

Lu Yiming had long guessed that he would be treated like this. He immediately got into the car, but he did not show much anger or unhappiness.

Only Ji Xiao and Liao Quan were around Ji Ziyin.

They all thought that Ji Ziyin had a high status and was highly valued by the reclusive families. They did not expect a chauffeur to look down on them.

They walked to the other side of the car in embarrassment, opened the door, and got in. They were no longer as refreshed as before.

Liao Quan was the last to get into the car.

Before doing so, he could not help but look at the southwest gate where Xu Yi and the others had left, trying to get a last look at them.

However, because his line of sight was blocked, he could not see if they were still there. Coupled with the chauffeur’s impatient urging, he could only hurriedly get into the car and close the door.

The car slowly drove away from the hotel.

On the other side.

A car that also had the license plate of the reclusive families stopped in front of Xue Zhu and the others.

The chauffeur got out of the car as soon as it stopped and walked up to them very respectfully. “Is everyone here? If you are, please get in.”

Xu Yi seemed used to it. As he walked towards the car, he turned around and said to the others, “Let’s go.”

The chauffeur hurriedly opened the door for them. “Please get in..”
