When Ming Lingyi arrived at Wangxian Building, several circles of people had already formed outside.
Wu Zhao Yu had sharp eyes. Spotting someone leaving the second floor of a nearby teahouse, she immediately pulled Ming Lingyi and Shi Mingyue up there.
Although Xu Qian was blocking the entrance to Wangxian Building, he wasn't actually stopping patrons from entering the restaurant.
It was just that his posturing was enough to make many people think twice and stay away.
Just as Du Xuan had predicted, Ma Ji had failed to find a new judge.
It wasn't that he hadn't tried buttering up Xu Qian—he'd pleaded and begged—but it was obvious that this young master of the Xu Family was a man who "pursued fairness and justice" and remained completely unmoved.
Ma Ji was out of options. In the end, he could only summon one of his waiters and have him rush a message to the boss's mansion.
Of course, he didn't want to blow the matter up and bring it to the attention of the Xie Family.
