After more than forty minutes, Lu Tianxing drove to the famous Manhattan District, finally stopping in front of a luxurious villa.

Because this banquet wasn't purely a private ball, when Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing arrived here, the surrounding area of this villa was already filled with many cars. Each car was worth tens of millions, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bugatti Veyrons, and various luxury cars gathered here, almost turning it into a luxury car exhibition.

This time Lu Tianxing was driving the car left at the Bikeman Hotel by Little Bee, although it was also a luxury car worth more than a million, it was completely inconspicuous among so many luxury cars.

At the entrance of this extensive villa, stood four burly black bodyguards, akin to iron towers, equipped with sophisticated weapons, their eyes sweeping over the individuals entering the villa.

Seeing Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing approach, one of the bodyguards extended his hand to stop them, courteously saying: "Honorable sir and madam, may I see your invitations?"

"Invitation?"

Bai Zhiqing was slightly taken aback, shook her head, and responded in fluent English: "I was invited by Miss Li Ya, the matter was urgent, so there was no time to prepare an invitation. If you don't believe me, you can call Miss Li Ya to inquire."

"Miss Li Ya?"

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing's words, the black bodyguard hesitated slightly, then quickly took out a walkie-talkie and started asking inside.

Soon, a confirmation message came through. The black bodyguard immediately stepped back respectfully and said: "Honorable sir and madam, I apologize for earlier, Miss Li Ya is already waiting for you inside, please enter."

"No worries."

Bai Zhiqing nodded to the black bodyguard and led Lu Tianxing inside.

"Wife, you seem quite familiar with this Li Ya? Is she your old classmate?"

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing with some surprise; to afford such a villa in Manhattan District, one definitely had to be wealthy and high-status, and Bai Zhiqing knowing such people inevitably startled him.

"Yes, Li Ya once studied in China, and we are considered good friends, but I didn't expect her identity to be so significant in the United States."

Bai Zhiqing also showed a trace of incredulity on her face. She wasn't naive; she knew well the influence needed to buy such a large villa in Manhattan District required not only money but also authority.

"I'm now quite curious about who your classmate really is."

Lu Tianxing smiled at Bai Zhiqing, and together they followed a servant into the hall.

Inside the villa, a large living room had been transformed into a ballroom setting, already filled with quite a number of blonde, blue-eyed foreigners gathering in small groups, with men dressed in suits and women in glamorous evening dresses, openly flaunting their figures.

Around the hall, tables were set up, laid with exquisite food. One by one, servants carried trays around, serving drinks to other guests, while in the corner, a band played, music echoing through the hall, instantly relaxing people's minds.

When Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing walked in, many men's faces in the hall flashed with amazement.

This was a very beautiful Oriental woman, dressed in a long black evening gown, accentuating her figure, cold and haughty, exuding elegance and nobility, making people unwilling to look away, her gorgeous face carrying a trace of aloofness, inducing a deep desire to conquer her from the heart.

Noble, elegant, and proud aura radiated from her, she was like a high goddess, without any hint of imposing presence, yet naturally exuding a distant icy demeanor, forming a unique aura that deterred easy approach.

The surrounding women looked at Bai Zhiqing with eyes full of jealousy, realizing that this woman displayed all the attributes of Oriental women, standing beside Bai Zhiqing, they felt like ugly ducklings, completely unable to compare.

While astonished, everyone's minds automatically raced to discern Bai Zhiqing's identity, knowing that today's banquet was hosted by the new chairman of Louis Jewelry Group, inviting all elites and wealthy elites from New York, with no regular person qualified to attend. Yet, after searching, they found no impression of Bai Zhiqing or Lu Tianxing, affirming neither was known in New York.

Though unable to guess Lu Tianxing's identity, no one dared to utter reprimands or otherwise, for the host of this banquet was the new chairman of Louis Group, and more importantly, the backing power of Louis Group was vast, not something these people could afford to offend.

Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing's attendance clearly indicated an invitation, thus, even without guessing their identities, no one took reckless actions, instead nodding and signaling to Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing.

"A bunch of old foxes."

Seeing the surrounding gazes, how could Lu Tianxing not understand these people's thoughts, he smirked and said to Bai Zhiqing: "Wife, where is your old classmate, I haven't seen her...?"

Before Lu Tianxing could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his waist, involuntarily gasped at the pain, and looked at Bai Zhiqing, whose expression remained unchanged, saying: "Wife, why did you pinch me, I didn't seem to do anything?"

"Hmph, this is a warning to you, don't think I don't know your motives, I tell you, if you dare have any inappropriate thoughts about Li Ya, I'll teach you a lesson."

Bai Zhiqing threatened Lu Tianxing, explaining: "Li Ya hasn't arrived yet, you sit down while I wander around."

Without waiting for Lu Tianxing to speak, Bai Zhiqing walked in one direction.
