The plane flew 9,000 meters into the sky.

At the same time.

Another group from the independent continent also gathered at the airport.

Liao Quan and Ji Xiao arrived first, and Lu Yiming and Simon arrived soon after. The four of them waited for Ji Ziyin at the terminal.

Since they had nothing to do, Liao Quan went to buy coffee for them. He distributed the cups in order of status, serving Simon first, followed by Ji Xiao and Lu Yiming. Finally, he took his cup and silently walked to the corner.

Ji Xiao ignored the cup and anxiously looked in the direction of the terminal entrance, He raised his wrist.w.a.tch to look at the time and frowned. “Why isn’t Ziyin here yet?”

Liao Quan wished he could wors.h.i.+p Ji Ziyin. Thus, he immediately said, “Miss Ji has a lot of luggage. Perhaps there was a traffic jam. It’s normal for girls. Let’s wait a little longer.”

“Mm.”

Ji Xiao’s brows relaxed. He was not particularly anxious.

They were going on a private jet, and it was parked just outside. They did not have to rush to meet a flight timing.

He calmed down and turned to talk to the mature man in a suit. “President

Simon, I’m sorry. Ziyin might be stuck in a traffic jam. I’ll call her to urge her.”

“It’s fine. We’ll just wait.” Simon had always been tactful. This time, Ji Ziyin invited him to visit the Privy Council, so how could he be calculative over such a small matter? It was just that he was thinking about other things and was not in a good mood.

Ji Xiao could tell that he was not in the mood, so he did not try to curry favor with him. “Okay, let’s wait for her.”

He looked at his watch again. “Looking at the time, she should be here soon.”

More than an hour pa.s.sed before Ji Ziyin finally arrived.

Someone helped push her two suitcases, one big and one small, while she walked in front. She smiled apologetically upon seeing Simon and the others.

“Sorry for the lateness, everyone. I encountered a traffic jam on the way.”

She apologized lightly, as if leaving them waiting for nearly two hours was

Just a small matter.

Simon and Lu Yiming frowned, but they said nothing.

“It’s good that you’re here.” Liao Quan and Ji Xiao treated it as if nothing had happened and eagerly helped her with her luggage.

Ji Ziyin handed her luggage to Ji Xiao and then turned to Simon and Lu Yiming. She thanked them with bright eyes. “President Simon, Yiming, thank you for accompanying me to the Privy Council.”

Many people in the independent continent were looking forward to this opportunity. Ji Ziyin had given them the precious tickets and even thanked them politely.

Simon was good at socializing. How could he embarra.s.s her?

He immediately said, “What are you talking about, Miss Ji? I should be the one thanking you for bringing me to the Privy Council.”

Lu Yiming was not as sweet-talking, but he still nodded.

“Then, let’s go in.” Ji Ziyin brushed her hair behind her ear and looked up. She happened to see a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.

She stopped in her tracks and said in surprise, “Xu Yi?”

“Huh?” Simon, Ji Xiao, and the others, who were walking behind her, could only stop with her and crane their necks to look. They did not see anyone suspicious.

They were not from the First Research Inst.i.tute, so they did not know who Ji Ziyin was referring to.

On the other hand, Liao Quan returned with coffee and handed it to her. He looked over and casually said, “Miss Ji, you must have seen it wrongly.. How could Xu Yi be here?”
