Dinner at the Feng residence was less of a social gathering and more of a mass identification ceremony.
The moment Lan Lingdu arrived, she was whisked away into a spacious conference room. The atmosphere was stifling, packed with over a dozen people. The heavyweights of the scientific, military, and political worlds were all present. Of course, they hadn't been invited by the Feng family; most had simply shown up uninvited. Last night at the Lu residence, they had been held back by Old Madam Lu's presence, making it difficult to approach Lan Lingdu. At the Feng residence, things were different.
Lan Lingdu was not surprised. She had arrived so early specifically to deal with these people. So, when they called her in, she even offered a faint smile. Elder Feng and the others looked grim, but the situation had spiraled beyond their control because Lan Lingdu was willing to play along.
