Chapter 231: Showtime!

As the loud call echoed, many of the prominent guests inside the funeral hall, including those who had already entered the banquet hall, came back out.

This was because the name Feng Yueji was simply too influential!

Aside from the Yan Family, which was in a semi-dormant state, she was the only figure in the city comparable to the late Chu Renxiong and Mr. Scar, reigning as the queen of the underworld in West City!

Now, with the Chu Group facing severe setbacks, and Chu Renxiong along with three major figures passing away, not to mention Mr. Scar of North City, whose power has been completely eradicated and who has become a fugitive wanted throughout the city, Feng Yueji is the only true superpower left in Binhai!

Under everyone's watchful gaze, a cold silhouette entered, accompanied by bodyguards.

Her long, enchanting hair was meticulously tied up, appearing elegant and noble. Her typical oval face was adorned with phoenix eyes exuding a cold aura, intertwined with a few hints of charm brewing subtly. Her face was solemn without makeup, yet it still gave an astonishing beauty. She wore a black gown accentuating her graceful figure, with curves that were just right, her presence exuded an incredibly cool and stunning aura!

Feng Yueji!

For many, this occasion was the first time seeing Feng Yueji, realizing that her reputation was truly well-deserved! Besides being a renowned female leader, Feng Yueji was also a famous beauty throughout Binhai, outshining Su Dieche, who previously held the title of the unrivaled beauty here, in both looks and elegance!

Even Chu Yan couldn't help but swallow at Feng Yueji's stunning appearance.

If there was another beauty in Binhai he desired besides Su Dieche, it would undoubtedly be Feng Yueji, but that's just wishful thinking. When Chu Renxiong was alive and at his peak, he was only on par with Feng Yueji, and now as the new Crown Prince, he wouldn't dare set his sights on her.

In fact, it wasn't just Chu Yan. Someone once privately conducted a survey, and among the many renowned beauties in Binhai, Feng Yueji was the one men most wanted to conquer. Unfortunately, it remains a fantasy for everyone — who knows who truly has the qualification to be Wu Zetian's man!

"President Feng, I didn't expect you to come. If my foster father is aware in the afterlife, he would be very pleased!" Chu Yan exhibited a thrilled demeanor and immediately approached, extending his hand.

Feng Yueji coldly shook hands with Chu Yan: "I'll go in to offer incense for Mr. Chu."

"Please!" Chu Yan immediately gestured courteously and said.

Unlike Mr. Scar, Feng Yueji never had any conflicts or disagreements with Chu Renxiong when he was alive. She mainly developed in West City, maintaining peace with South and North City. Her presence here is out of courtesy, abiding by the rules of the underworld, a gesture of the moral code in the world of martial arts.

"President Feng, we have prepared tea inside for you. Would you care to join in?" Chu Yan asked after seeing Feng Yueji drop off the ceremonial money.

"No need, I'll be leaving shortly. You can attend to your matters." Feng Yueji replied indifferently. The courtesy was fulfilled; staying longer would be unnecessary, and with a busy schedule, she planned to leave shortly.

"Alright." Chu Yan couldn't help but feel a slight regret but said no more and turned to leave.

"Murong Family, Lady Murong has arrived!!!"

A high-pitched call from outside shocked everyone again!

Because the lady, who had always been a legendary figure avoiding public appearances, had also come!

The Murong Family is currently the second wealthiest family in Binhai City, even surpassing the Han Family of South City!

Although the Murong Family is not native to Binhai, they have risen from obscurity to fame in just a few years, now standing shoulder to shoulder with the Yan Family, and in terms of pure financial power, it's unclear if they might even surpass the Yan Family!

Everyone knows the Murong Family has a mesmerizing lady, but few have seen her. Some say the beautiful doctor, Director Murong from City Center Hospital, is her, but due to the lack of reliable sources, no one dared to confirm. Now, everyone finally sees the real person!

At this moment, even Feng Yueji couldn't help but furrow her brows, looking outside, curious to see who this woman, her equal in fame and beauty, might be!

Outside, the first thing that caught everyone's eyes were two rounded and straight long legs, pristine jade feet emerged invitingly from black stilettos, and ten delicate toes captivated onlookers.

As the gaze moved upward, a tight black gown clung to a shapely and charming body. The white skin exposed between the hem was fascinating, with a breeze carrying a scent reminiscent of orchids or musk, elusive yet tempting, making one instinctively want to capture that enchanting essence.

Murong Qian!

Many recognized her as the beautiful surgical director from City Center Hospital, a sight that excited men and evoked jealousy in women!

As mentioned, since the Murong Family established in Binhai thirteen years ago, Murong Qian had never appeared in the public eye. Now it can only be attributed to the influence of Chu Renxiong, which lured her here for the memorial.

In truth, Murong Biqian personally wasn't very interested in such events, but with persistent persuasion from her family, she reluctantly left work to make a brief appearance.

"Lady Murong, your reputation precedes you. Thank you for coming to pay respects to my foster father." Chu Yan again extended a hand towards Murong Biqian, speaking.

"Young Master Chu, you flatter me. I'll go place incense for Mr. Chu." Murong Biqian briefly shook hands with Chu Yan, then directly walked into the funeral hall.

"Please!" Chu Yan once again ushered her in as the host of the funeral.

As Murong Biqian entered, she exchanged a glance with Feng Yueji but said nothing, proceeding to offer incense for Chu Renxiong and present ceremonial money as tradition dictated.

Before the three incense sticks were completely burnt, a more resounding call from outside startled the guests: "The Yan Family, Young Master Yan Chen has arrived!!"

Instantly, everyone in the funeral hall and reception room was astounded!

No one expected that someone from the Yan Family would also come!

Moreover, it was said to be Yan Chen, the grandson he highly doted on when Master Yan Jiu was alive, who had remained silent for a long time.

Yan Chen's unexpected visit caught Chu Yan, Zhuge Yuheng, Tang Tianpeng, and others off guard!

Because they were reaching out to influential figures who had good relations with Chu Renxiong or had previously collaborated with the Chu Family for the funeral. The presence of someone as generally distanced as Feng Yueji or as scarcely interacted with as Murong Biqian was already surprising, and yet an unexpected appearance by the Yan Family, who had received no formal notice, took everyone by surprise!

At that moment, everyone could sense a foreboding vibe!
