The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law
Chapter 430 - 415

Chapter 430: Chapter 415

Elsewhere, Long Chen and Qi Xin casually flagged down a taxi and got inside.

"If this guy is the host of the event, then why don’t we just skip it? To avoid any trouble," Long Chen said with a laugh.

"That won’t do," Qi Xin replied with a smile. "Breaking the contract is not an option. It’s not about the penalty fee, but because I can’t break my word. Losing trust would have a terrible impact."

"Alright then."

Long Chen said no more.

Soon after, the pair arrived beneath the towering building of Cosmic Entertainment.

As they reached the door, the security guard quickly recognized Qi Xin.

"Hello, I’m here by invitation to participate in the event. Here is my invitation," Qi Xin said as she pulled out the relevant documents from her bag.

Without even glancing at the documents, the guard said indifferently, "Mr. Zhao has instructed us, due to the recent surge of incidents involving people disguising themselves as celebrities, do you have any other proof that you are Qi Xin?"

Qi Xin was taken aback by the question.

It was evident that this was Zhao Yu’s doing; purposely making things difficult.

"You might want to ask your boss, Zhao, if he doesn’t want me to attend the event, could he please announce it on the related platforms? I’m not desperate to get in."

Qi Xin said firmly.

"Oh, Miss Qi, don’t be upset. I’m just a security guard who doesn’t know any better, who doesn’t recognize you. Please come in."

Just then, Zhao Yu came out with a smile plastered on his face.

He certainly didn’t want Qi Xin to leave; how else could he make her lose face?

"Mr. Zhao, you really are something," Qi Xin said, giving Zhao Yu a look that was more smirk than smile, then proceeded to walk inside.

However, at that moment, Zhao Yu stopped Long Chen.

"Miss Qi, you may go in, but he can’t," Zhao Yu said coolly.

"He’s my boyfriend. If you won’t let him in, then I won’t go either," Qi Xin declared with resolve.

Zhao Yu quickly changed his tone, saying, "Oh, Miss Qi, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean he can’t come in. It’s just that he can’t walk in with such a cold expression — otherwise people might think he’s here to cause trouble."

"Is that any of your concern?"

Qi Xin turned and grabbed Long Chen, and they both headed inside.

Zhao Yu watched their retreating figures, his eyes cold and sinister, as he took out his phone and dialed a number: "They’re in. Get everything ready. Remember to drug her, take her to the room, inform the streaming team. Once everything is set, make sure the room’s footage appears clear and smooth on the event hall’s big screen. This time, I’ll make sure this bitch’s reputation is completely ruined."

With that, Zhao Yu hung up the phone.

Ahead, Long Chen’s brow furrowed.

He had overheard Zhao Yu’s call.

Looking at the completely unsuspecting Qi Xin, Long Chen sighed.

This business truly was fraught with danger.

Today, if he hadn’t come with Qi Xin, she might have really taken a nasty fall, ruining her future.

Long Chen was hesitating whether to tell Qi Xin the truth.

However, at this moment, people kept approaching Qi Xin to greet her, and they continually asked who Long Chen was.

Qi Xin was fearless, telling everyone that Long Chen was her boyfriend.

This put Long Chen in a somewhat awkward position.

Shortly after, the event officially started.

Zhao Yu went onstage to give a speech, and after a brief opening, he said with a smile, "Today we have a heavyweight guest among us, Qi Xin. And yes, Qi Xin’s boyfriend is also here. Could the goddess Qi Xin formally introduce your boyfriend to everyone?"

"Why not? His name is Long Chen, and he is my boyfriend. That’s all."

Qi Xin said this confidently and without pretense.

"What line of work is your boyfriend in? To be honest, I believe many here are curious about his identity. After all, there are countless prominent figures chasing you, and you’ve turned them all down. Now you suddenly have a boyfriend, which has come as quite the surprise to everyone."

Zhao Yu pressed on.

"My identity is simple, a free man, an unemployed nomad," Long Chen said with a smile, perfectly composed.

At his level, he no longer needed any disguise.

Hearing this, Zhao Yu smiled, "It seems our magnificent Qi Xin is supporting a handsome young man, isn’t she?"

"Are you trying to stir up trouble, Mr. Zhao?" Qi Xin’s gaze turned icy.

The crowd fell silent, sensing that the atmosphere was turning sour.

Zhao Yu laughed, "No, no, just a little joke. Come on, I propose a toast to celebrate Miss Qi Xin’s escape from singledom. Everyone, raise your glasses."

As he spoke, Zhao Yu took out his phone and swiftly sent a text message.

That message was alerting his subordinates to get ready for action.
