"What's wrong?" Fade asked.
Joey said, "Those so-called big families and tycoons... After they heard that you died, they all immediately changed their attitude. Some of them immediately terminated their contracts with Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. Some even added fuel to the fire and began to backstab us."
"And those who had grudges before began to stir one by one."
"They must be having a death wish!" His gaze turned ruthless.
She immediately replied, "But don't worry. The situation isn't too bad. Lily has taken control over the situation. As for the martial arts aspect, my father and I are able to fight against Heaven Level martial artists. Hence, it shouldn't be a problem. Furthermore, General Xu is still protecting you. There isn't anyone who will strike anytime soon."
"At least they have brains." He snorted and immediately asked, "By the way, where is Quin? Why can't I get through to her phone?"
"You can't?" She was also surprised and immediately said, "Perhaps her phone is on airplane mode. She's on the way to East Coast city."
"East Coast? For what?" Fade was a little surprised.
Joey replied, "Her cousin Momo is getting married, so she's there for the wedding."
"What? Momo is getting married?" This time, he was really shocked.
After all, as far as he could remember, Momo had always been such a naughty and mischievous child.
But now, she was about to get married. He had never expected this.
"Why? Are you jealous? I knew you always had Momo in your heart," Joey teased.
Fade scolded her, "Joey, don't talk nonsense. I'm just surprised, that's all."
"Really?" She said, "Momo told me that you saw her naked before, and that something almost happened between you two. Are you sure nothing is going on?"
"Why don't you go and snatch the bride away during her wedding? With your power and background, you'll definitely succeed," she joked.
Listening to her joke, he recalled some memories between him and Momo. For a while, some odd emotions came to his heart.
"Why have you gone silent? My guess must be right." She chuckled.
He came to his senses and said, "Please, stop talking nonsense. Momo is my sister-in-law. Why would I want to snatch her away? If anything, I should snatch you away."
"You don't need to snatch me away. Just say the word and I'll marry you." She was not afraid at all.
"You are my younger sister." He was speechless.
"I'm just your junior, and it's not like we are actually related!" She emphasized. "Besides, Master once said that he wanted me to marry you. Have you forgotten?”
"Ahem... I have something to do, so I have to go. Bye!" He could not win against her in a debate. Therefore, he chose to escape.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately changed his mind.
He was planning to fly straight to Capital City, but now, Quin, was in East Coast attending Momo's wedding.
He wasn't that far away from East Coast either. Hence, he decided he might as well fly there to see his wife. At the same time, he could attend Momo's wedding.
After all, her marriage had come out of nowhere. Why would she suddenly want to get married? He was still in shock.
Thinking of this, he dialed Momo's number, but her phone was turned off as well. Then, he called Ernest’s phone again, but his phone was off too.
This made Fade frown. "What's going on? Are the two of them that busy with the wedding preparations?"
However, at this time, his cell phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The caller ID was Momo. He quickly picked up the phone. "Momo, it's me, Fade."
"Brother Chen, I'm Shinnie." A gentle girl's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Shinnie, why are you..." He was a little surprised. He turned his head and looked at the security guard who was about to take action and he quickly stepped out of the building.
With his baton in hand, the guard cursed at Fade before returning to his post arrogantly.
"Shinnie, what's going on? Why is Momo suddenly getting married? Also, why do you have her phone?”
Shinnie's voice was anxious, as if she was about to cry. "Brother Chen, Momo doesn't want to get married. She is being forced to."
"What? What the hell is going on?" Fade was shocked.
Shinnie began to sob over the phone, and she couldn't speak clearly.
He hurriedly said, "Shinnie, don't cry. Where are you? I'll be right there. Everything will be fine as long as I'm there."
"Sob... I- I'm at East Coast University," she stated.
"Wait for me, I'll be right there!" He hung up the phone and rushed over.
In a cafe outside East Coast University, Fade looked at her, who still had tears on her face, and asked, "Shinnie, it's okay. Just tell me slowly, what happened?"
She wiped away the tears on her face and nodded as she began to speak.
