Qu Jianlei answered without changing expression, "We've met before. Maybe you have too many important people to remember."
"Hm?" Qian He raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Friend, that tone of yours... is a little unfriendly."
His companions immediately started making noise as well—how could a mere B-rank talk like that? Qu Jianlei ignored them outright and merely looked at Qian He. "No apology? Forget it, then."
He said it casually, but Qian He was no fool either. People from the Core Circle might lack many things, but they certainly did not lack scheming minds.
He glanced at the surveillance footage again and spoke thoughtfully. "Twilight Bar... you know it well?"

You could look down on these second-generation heirs from the Core Circle, but you truly could not underestimate them.

He seemed unwilling to discuss that question and immediately asked, "You went to Twilight Bar to pick investment projects?"
"Just taking a look." Qu Jianlei shook his head. "Most of it is a scam. I actually saw talisman technology today."
"Heh." Qian He could not help laughing,
