    Chapter 194

    As Yi Tiantian carefully observed the various people around him, Fu Chongye leaned down and whispered to him, "There might be some misunderstandings about you. If they say something you don’t get, don’t stress over it."

    "Huh?!"

    Yi Tiantian curiously turned to look at Fu Chongye, only to see the latter sporting a rather malicious smile.

    "What are you getting at?"

    "What do you mean by something I don't understand? Is this some kind of alien language?!"

    A chill ran down Yi Tiantian’s spine, as if the terror of the Dusk Society was just beginning to show.

    But soon he realized that wasn’t the case, as an endless stream of guests carrying champagne flutes approached them, all wearing very friendly smiles.

    Yi Tiantian and Fu Chongye dealt with the incoming guests one after another, but they just kept coming like a swarm of bees buzzing around them. All they wanted was to talk to Yi Tiantian and Fu Chongye.

    And the things they said were somewhat peculiar.

    For example, an elderly woman with a blue headscarf and bright green eyes smiled at them and said, "You two are the most perfect match I’ve ever seen!"

    At first, Yi Tiantian didn’t catch what she meant by "compatible," but after the woman left, it dawned on him that she had mistaken him for Fu Chongye’s boyfriend!

    This wasn’t the only weird encounter. The next person, a middle-aged guy with white hair and a pronounced rear end, flaunted himself in front of them and said, "I was wondering if the two of you are open to a threesome. If so, how about considering me?"

    Yi Tiantian forced a smile and took a deep breath, almost passing out.

    "What the hell is this?!"

    "Not to mention that Fu Chongye and I are not a couple, and even if we were, I wouldn’t agree to a threesome!"

    "Love is exclusive; how could it be shared with someone else?"

    He thought seriously in his heart.

    But for some reason, whenever he thought about love, Yi Tiantian’s mind would inexplicably drift to Fei Cheng.

    They hadn’t seen each other for a long time. I wonder how Fei Cheng’s been doing...

    Yi Tiantian’s thoughts began to wander.

    Fu Chongye raised an eyebrow, clearly agreeing.

    Because he didn’t want to share the lovely Yi Tiantian with anyone else either!

    Finally, the middle-aged man slinked away under Fu Chongye’s intense glare.

    A young man who looked like he had just come of age also squeezed through and happily said to Yi Tiantian, "Welcome to our group. I hope we can support each other in the future and fight against this disappointing world together."

    Yi Tiantian smiled and nodded seriously, and even shook hands with the young man.

    Fu Chongye wanted to stop their handshake but was a step too late, gritting his teeth as he was unable to prevent it.

    "Aside from being mistaken for Fu Chongye’s boyfriend, the people here are surprisingly warm and welcoming!"

    "Everyone’s face is filled with happy smiles, and they really seem to consider me as one of their own."

    "Could it be that the Dusk Society isn’t some kind of strange organization?"

    "No, this doesn't make any sense at all!!"

    "If the Dusk Society hadn't committed those heinous acts, then why do all the cases in the entertainment industry point to this terrifying organization?!"

    Yi Tiantian wasn’t questioning the situation; he just believed these people were excellent at hiding their true intentions.

    To get them to reveal their true motives, Yi Tiantian forced himself to continue interacting with the growing number of people around him, and from their mouths, he heard all sorts of strange things.

    For example, "Make sure to stay safe and healthy!" "We’re so jealous of couples like you!" and even, "Do you have any secrets to maintaining your relationship? I'd like to learn from you!"

    As Yi Tiantian continued to navigate the crowd, Fu Chongye noticed something off.

    According to the prior arrangement, the president was supposed to appear at the party soon.

    But there was still no sign of him, which made Fu Chongye realize something was wrong.

    Fu Chongye pretended to sip his drink and scanned the room, but he still didn't see the president.

    Meanwhile, in the next room, the real members of the Dusk Society were watching Yi Tiantian and Fu Chongye’s every move on the security footage.

    "Is the president really coming to the scene?"

    A woman in a silver gown leaned back, swirling a glass of red wine as she watched the footage with keen interest.

    Everyone present looked at each other curiously, reading confusion in each other's eyes.

    The president had never told anyone about the plan for this party before, so they knew he would use this opportunity to get close to Yi Tiantian, but they didn’t know his exact plan.

    And the president hadn’t shown up at today’s party yet; no one knew how he would approach Yi Tiantian.

    "Either way, we just have to trust the president."

    A man in a brown suit, fiddling with his expensive watch, spoke with conviction.

    As soon as he said that, almost everyone nodded in agreement.

    At the same time, a commotion erupted from the room next door.

    The members of the Dusk Society immediately focused their attention on the central monitor and heard a clear male voice.

    "The president is here!"

    Hearts raced as everyone’s gaze locked onto the door, waiting anxiously for the president to appear.

    But to everyone’s shock, the figure emerging from the doorway wasn’t the president—at least, not the one they expected.

    Yi Tiantian, who had been surrounded by the crowd, perked up at the sound of the voice, practically standing on his toes to catch a glimpse of the door.

    "This is the president of the Dusk Society!"

    "He is the root of all evil!"

    "If we catch this despicable person, the evil organization Dusk Society will disappear from the world forever!!"

    His heart pounded in his chest, the anticipation of meeting the Dusk Society’s president making him almost giddy, his grip tightening on the wine glass, though he maintained that false peaceful smile.

    Fu Chongye also looked curiously toward the door, equally eager to see the president’s arrival.

    He also wondered if the president would really appear before Yi Tiantian without any disguise.

    After all, this was essentially presenting the most central figure of the Dusk Society openly to Yi Tiantian!

    But when Fu Chongye finally saw clearly who had actually walked in, he reliefedly raised a smile.

    The "president" appearing before everyone was not the real president of the Dusk Society at all, but a tall, broad-shouldered man with a long neck and legs. This man had a black mole on his forehead and looked very upright, not like someone dangerous at all.

    It seemed that the president had ultimately decided not to appear before Yi Tiantian in person, as such a move would have been too risky.

    "Welcome everyone to today's gathering, feel free to relax, after all, we're all family here."

    The "president" announced to the crowd, raising his wine glass.

    The rest of the "Dusk Society members" also raised their red wine glasses high and downed their drinks in one go.

    After the toast, the president finally walked up to Yi Tiantian, smiled, and extended his hand. "Welcome to the gathering, you're Yi Tiantian, right?"

    Yi Tiantian looked at this imposing "president" and shook his hand.

    "Hello, you must be the president here, right?"

    "Yes, I am the president!"

    The "president" beamed with pride, as if highly satisfied with everything he had done, including establishing the Dusk Society.

    Fu Chongye stood by Yi Tiantian's side, chatting with the "president."

    "It’s an honor that you took the time to join us today, President."

    Yi Tiantian carefully observed the president before him and found him to be surprisingly normal, both in appearance and manner. This "president" was undeniably a normal person.

    "Could it be that the person who created this organization is actually this righteous-looking individual?"

    "It's really hard to imagine!"

    Yi Tiantian began to slightly suspect, as this president didn’t seem like a criminal no matter how he looked at him.

    "What if..."

    Seeing Yi Tiantian deep in thought, Fu Chongye quickly changed the subject. He looked at Yi Tiantian and the president and said, "The president went out of his way to prepare a lot of delicious food for this gathering. Just look at this oyster; it's mouthwatering."

    Yi Tiantian's attention was slightly diverted by the food, as the oyster was unusually large, almost the size of a person's palm.

    A waiter holding a tray of oysters stood still, presenting the delicacies of the gathering.

    "Wow, these are huge! I’ve never seen oysters this big before," Yi Tiantian said.

    The "president" joined in with a nod. "Yes, I've never seen oysters this big either..."

    Fu Chongye felt relieved as Yi Tiantian's attention was finally diverted.

    But when he noticed the waiter’s custom leather shoes, his eyes widened in surprise.
