Chapter 417: Chapter 417 Two Hours (1)_1

"It is I, Mr. Chi."

Compared to Chi Yao’s rage, the speaker’s voice had a cool indifference concealed in its clarity, an aloofness embedded in its elegance.

His tone was very calm and his voice was gentle. Although it wasn’t heavy, it carried a hint of invisible aura, giving a sense of oppressive heaviness.

All the people present were stunned. After a few seconds, they all turned their attention to Han Jingnian who, since the onset of the incident, had been standing by Xia Wan’an’s side without any reaction.

Facing everyone’s gaze, Han Jingnian’s eyes remained calm.

Hearing that voice addressing "Mr. Chi", an inexplicable echo wrung in the heart of Chi Yao. He incredulously stared at Han Jingnian. His raging outburst just now vanishing instantly, his voice notably softer and more submissive: "Jingnian, what are you doing?"

Han Jingnian didn’t speak, to be precise, he couldn’t be bothered to explain to Chi Yao.

After a while, Chi Yao spoke again, "Jingnian, we can talk this over. It’s not good to trap everyone here without any explanation, isn’t it?"

Han Jingnian made no effort to respond. He didn’t even move his lips, clearly indicating he had nothing to discuss with Chi Yao.

Chi Yao could only voice his plea for the third time, "Jingnian, I understand that you’re not happy about what happened today. But everyone here is an acquaintance and many are good friends as well. For the sake of our friends, can you let them leave first..."

Han Jingnian frowned, clearly showing his impatience. He ignored Chi Yao and turned to Zhang Te, "How much longer?"

After checking his watch, Zhang Te replied, "Approximately two more hours."

Han Jingnian simply nodded, making a faint "Uh-huh", before sweeping his gaze across the crowd.

Understanding his meaning, Zhang Te took a step forward and addressed the crowd: "Everyone, please remain calm. Mr. Han had no choice but to seal off Mr. Chi’s villa. It’s still not too late. Please wait patiently for two more hours. After two hours, we guarantee to let you all leave unscathed..."

As Zhang Te’s voice settled, there was a sudden restlessness among the crowd.

"Two hours? Why do we have to stay here for two hours?"

"Exactly, it will almost be midnight after two hours..."

"What on earth is Mr. Han thinking..."

"..."

Facing the slight chaos, Zhang Te remained composed and addressed the crowd again: "Today is the welcoming party that Mr. Chi held for Miss Chi. We have plentiful food and drinks. I believe it will be easy to pass two hours. Having everyone stay longer to chat and dance, Mr. Chi certainly wouldn’t mind..."

He paused, then looked at Chi Yao with a grin, "Isn’t that right, Mr. Chi?"

Chi Yao, totally clueless about what Han Jingnian was playing at, was apprehensive for a while. Finally, he managed a smile, "Of course not, all kinds of wines and delicacies are available here!"

"You see, as Mr. Chi says, let’s not stand on ceremony. I wish everyone a pleasant evening." With a flawless friendly smile, Zhang Te picked up where Chi Yao left off.

Everyone present weren’t fools. From Zhang Te’s words, they understood that no one would be able to leave the Chi Family’s residence in the next two hours.
