At once, everyone could sense Yang Chunlei’s disregard toward the new leader of Tongcheng City. Li Shuangren, who was standing at the side, grew exhilarated while watching the scene.
Then, a flash of light blinked across Lin Huai’s eyes. Was he supposed to teach him a lesson?
Since he was one of the kings now, he needed to don the intimidation a king should possess. Although the man in front of him was of the old school era—unlike himself who was fairly fresh—he wouldn’t back down from any confrontation. After all, numerous figures of power were witnessing their exchange, so if he were to compromise in such a situation, he would never be able to make a name and stand up for himself.
Thereupon, he let out a cold laugh and gave Yang Chunlei a condescending stare. He calmly said in a subtly provocative tone, “Since we’re all on the same path, there’s no need to pretend to be clueless and act like I’ve betrayed the boss, is there? Besides, t
When Hou Junji walked over, every single person regardless of their position courteously greeted him by saying, “Mr. Hou.”“Mr. Hou.”Even the face of the mighty Public Security Bureau’s director was full of respect.In response to the greetings, Hou Junji simply smiled and nodded his head. He seemed amicable, and not a trace of boastfulness was to be found. However, the intimidation that came from the 70-year-old man disallowed anyone to underestimate him.When these few men arrived at the table of leaders, Hou Junji sat down while the eyes of the middle-aged man fell upon Lin Huai. He gave a broad smile and said, “Nice to meet you, Lin Huai. I’m Hou Yangsheng, and this is my son Hou Liang.”Naturally, Lin Huai didn’t dare to flaunt his ego when facing members of the Hou Family, so he sprung up from his seat to shake Hou Yangsheng’s hand before responding, “You’re indeed one of the finest, Mr. Hou. Old Master H
While Hou Yangsheng was giving a grateful speech on the stage, the lackeys on their respective tables were all out with their obsequiousness. At the end of his speech, he suggested a toast before everyone wished Old Master Hou a happy birthday, and that was basically it for the official procedure.When everyone had only started dining for a few minutes, Hua Manjiang stood up and said apologetically, “There’s a conference I need to attend, Old Master, and I might have to excuse myself first.”As Hou Junji was about to grab his walking stick and shakily get up to see him off, Hua Manjiang hastily stated, “Please remain seated, Old Master. I’ll visit you again when I have the time.”“All right.” As he looked at him, Hou Junji then said, “I’m already 70 years old now, and it’s only a matter of time until I lose my ability to walk, eat, and sleep. By then, I hope you can take care of my successors for me, Deputy Mayor…”For some
After returning to Wei Manor, Lin Huai found Wei Sihai in the study room. Seeing Lin Huai walk in, Wei Sihai smiled. “Come and take a seat. I’m surprised that you actually know Deputy Mayor Hua’s daughter too.”Lin Huai replied awkwardly, “We are just friends. Nothing is going on between us.”“Sure. I know there’s nothing between you and Li Liner too. It’s normal for a man to have various connections out there. I’ve never questioned you about Li Liner and Liu Meiqi because they don’t pose a threat to my daughter. However, that isn’t the case for Hua Shiting. Be honest with me—what’s the relationship between you and Hua Shiting? Who do you plan to choose?”Only then did Lin Huai understand—Wei Sihai must have thought that the family background of the other girls was mediocre, so he wouldn’t choose them. However, Hua Shiting’s family was even more outstanding than the Wei Family, so Wei Sihai couldn’t turn a blind eye to the situation anym
After the conversation with Wei Sihai, Lin Huai could roughly picture the situation in Tongcheng City. Although it sounded complicated, it was actually quite easy to understand. Currently, the situation in Tongcheng City had merely reached a stalemate.Following that, Lin Huai decided to ask about the crimes that the Hou Family committed over the years. Since the Hou Family used to be an underground force, it shouldn’t matter anymore since they had reduced their wrongdoings in recent years. After all, they were able to clear their names after dominating the underground forces for so many years, and this showed their capability. Therefore, it should be fine as long as they didn’t pose a threat to society in the future.However, after listening to Wei Sihai’s explanation about the Hou Family’s history, Lin Huai realized that the truth was more complicated than it seemed. The way the Hou Family cleared their family name wasn’t legitimate at all—even the
After Wei Sihai and Wei Qimian had a long talk, she roughly had a good understanding of the current situation. Nonetheless, she still couldn’t help but worry as she now knew that her boyfriend would be going up against someone that even the deputy mayor couldn’t confidently win against. “Dad, if the Hou Family is so powerful, can Brother Huai really defeat them? After all, he’s not much older than I am.”Upon hearing that, Wei Sihai sighed before replying, “It indeed is a challenge for him. Nevertheless, he seemed to be undefeatable ever since he joined Yulan College. Not to mention, he had been thriving in the underground scene. Do you see him as a nineteen-year-old boy? To be frank, I’ve never seen a boy quite like Lin Huai despite all the years I’ve lived. He’s so mature and determined. I dare say that he’s stronger than some who have a decade’s worth of training and experience.” “I know this doesn’t sound fair for him as it’s our own family’s re
Lying on the bed, Lin Huai was still surprised after ending the call from Hou Yangsheng, but he soon understood that the Hou Family must be trying to draw him to their side too. After all, Deputy Mayor Hua had been giving them trouble recently, so they were probably worried that Lin Huai would be drawn to his side too.Initially, they planned to invite Lin Huai over for a meal the next day, but Lin Huai declined and postponed the meal to the day after tomorrow. He was invited over for a meal at Deputy Mayor Hua’s place tomorrow and at the Hou’s the day after. All of a sudden, he had become a hotshot.After hanging up the call, Lin Huai charged his phone and went to sleep.The next morning, Li Liner tried to persuade Lin Huai to allow her to run the bar again like last time. Wei Qimian exhorted, “You should rest more, Liner. Take this opportunity to keep me accompanied since it’s the holiday season now. I’d be quite bored staying at home
Now that Lin Huai learned that Hua Shiting was the daughter of the deputy mayor, he made a mental note that he shouldn’t be in her bad books. After all, he had to build a good relationship with Deputy Mayor Hua in the future.Offering a chuckle in return, Lin Huai said, “I’ve never avoided you before. Didn’t I explain to you on the phone earlier today? I’ve just been too busy… To be honest, the first thing I thought of was to look for you as soon as I was done being busy. It just so happens that you beat me to it. Otherwise, I’d definitely meet with you.”Though she knew that he was merely spouting nonsense, she didn’t want to argue with him now that she could finally meet him. Time spent with him was precious after all.With her gaze fixed on him, a train of thoughts ran through her head. Ever since the day he helped her win a battle, she started having feelings for him. She seemed to like and admire him. After she went home that day
Hua Manjiang expected Lin Huai to agree. Even if he didn’t, Hua Manjiang believed Lin Huai definitely wouldn’t side with Hou Junji. Due to Lin Huai’s involvement with The General, the chances of him working with the Hou Family were slim. Hence, Hua Manjiang didn’t bother to beat around the bush and forced Lin Huai to pick his side. If he were to do the exact opposite and sided with the Hou Family, it would mean he’d become Hua Manjiang’s enemy.After a moment of silence, Lin Huai offered Hua Manjiang a smile. “Deputy Mayor Hua, since your daughter and I are friends, you and I are friends too.”Hearing that, Hua Manjiang put on a subtle smile as he took out a cigarette and put it between his lips. With a snap of the lighter, he lit the outer end of the cigarette before turning his gaze toward Lin Huai. “Whether it’s me or other people, I’d prefer to put things bluntly.”Lin Huai certainly didn’t see that coming. Although Hua Manjiang seem
Lin Huai finished investigating Gao Mengchao's background, learned about Gao Mengchao's identity, and also learned that Gao Mengchao had such a cold and ruthless brother, you can imagine that in the beginning, fortunately Zhou Minghu did not lay hands on Gao Mengchao, if he gave Gao Mengchao what he wanted, it is estimated that Zhou Minghu's family will be exterminated by Gao Zuo.However, Lin Huai had a feeling that Gao Mengchao definitely had something to say to himself this time over, definitely not simply coming back to visit some old friends.Lin Huai hung up the phone, inside the room while looking at the book, while quietly waiting, after about half an hour, Lin Huai's cell phone rang, Lin Huai answered it, it was the door guard of the house, the door guard said, "Bad brother, there is a car coming from outside, said that it is your friend, called Miss Gao.""Let her in." Hearing that Gao Mengchao had come, Lin Huai's heart was instead relieved, if she didn'
Lin Huai heard Gao Mengchao's words, also in his heart some surprise, although before also have some guesses, but also feel that it is not, after all, Gao Mengchao's brother is working for Zhang Sheng.But now that it sounded both unexpected and normal, Lin Huai hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.""It's okay." Gao Mengchao regained his composure again, and it was evident that this woman's mind had already reached a stage where she was more resilient than even a normal person.Liu Meiqi booked the movie tickets and looked up at Gao Mengchao with some surprise, "That what's-his-name Zhang Sheng is the person from the Dark World is it? Then why is your brother still working for Zhang Sheng?"Lin Huai said,"I guess it's probably the same purpose, also to find a chance to avenge my family, right? But Ms. Gao, now that you've said this to me, aren't you afraid that I'll leak it out? If it leaks out from my mouth, won't your brother be in danger ...
The next day, Lin Huai picked up Liu Meiqi's phone, as promised to the restaurant, this is a Chinese restaurant, but the grade is good, belongs to the private dining room, the price are more expensive kind.Lin Huai walked inside the restaurant and spoke of the private room, then he saw that there were a few cold-faced men standing inside the corridor, which happened to be at the entrance of the private room.These several men's breath are not weak, at least are up to the Ming Jin realm, can let the Ming Jin realm people act as a guard, ordinary people are afraid that this ability, Lin Huai heart can not help but a burst of curiosity, Gao Mengchao in the end what kind of identity.Lin Huai pushed open the door, then saw Liu Meiqi and Gao Mengchao two people are inside talking and laughing, Lin Huai walked in and closed the door of the room, smiled and said, "Ms. Gao, long time no see.""Long time no see." Gao Mengchao looked at Lin Huai with a complicated gaz
Liu Meiqi is such a person, she likes Lin Huai, Lin Huai mixing black outside, she is also very worried, but she will not stop, she will not even go to persuade, in her eyes, no matter what Lin Huai do is right or wrong, she just need to be supportive of it, if Lin Huai is good, she accompanied with happy, if Lin Huai is not good, she accompanied with crying, for Liu Meiqi such a dare to love, dare to hate the woman, everything is so Simple.Lin Huai both like Wei Qimian kind of everything will be for their own consideration, but also like Liu Meiqi this kind of single-minded just accompanied by their own cry accompanied by their own laughter is enough girls, two girls are each between the good.Liu Meiqi suddenly said, "By the way, Sister Chao is coming back.""Super Sister?""Miss Gao la, she contacted me a few days ago, saying that she would be back soon, and contacted me to come out and get together at that time." Liu Meiqi sighed and said, "Back then, Mi
Lin Huai's speed was too fast, when Wang Tianzong heard the news that Lin Huai had invaded Xu Weida's territory extensively and that Xu Weida was dead, he was studying his next strategy besides being shocked, but in the afternoon of the same day, another piece of news calmed him down, Huyan Ba openly announced that he had defected to the Dragon Gang, and had been appointed by Lin Huai to be the vice leader of the Dragon Gang, continuing to rule the underground world of Liao Province.Wang Tianzong will be on the table of the tea set clattered all to push down on the ground, next to the news is reporting a more than 20 years of age Ming Jin expert was scared of the body shivering, almost kneeling on the ground, weekdays inside the eyes of his Wang Tianzong is always a day down the face does not change the color of the face of the side, he has never seen the king of the heavenly zong has such a shock of anger time.Wang Tianzong deeply inhaled a breath, eyes inside the col
When Huyan Ba was woken up early in the morning by the brothers under his hand, and learned of the news that the Dragon Gang had announced to the public that they were at war with Xu Weida and that Xu Weida was dead, his head was in a daze, although he knew about Xu Weida's betrayal of Lin Huai, he didn't think that Lin Huai would be so decisive that he would actually lay his hands on Xu Weida on the same night.He sent his men out just now, and immediately afterward he received a call from Lin Huai, he pulled out his cell phone to see that it was Lin Huai's number, and then he picked it up and said in a deep voice, "Hey!"Lin Huai's voice came from over there, smiling lightly, "Hey, Brother Huyan, didn't disturb your good dreams, did I?"Huyan Ba smiled bitterly, "I've already woken up, you made such a big commotion last night, I'm not waking up too early here. Xu Weida was really killed by you?"Lin Huai laughed, "Is Brother Huyan interested in meeting and
This night, not only Xu Weida a person, overnight, Xu Weida's hands under the middle and upper layer of those are all controlled, by the way, to find the two resistance powerful kill the chicken to make an example of the monkey, Xu Weida in fact to the Lin Huai to save a lot of things, if it is not Xu Weida will be his hands under the backbone of the people to call over, said tomorrow night meeting, more or less to more a few leakage of the fish.This night Zhao Hu is responsible for controlling these big men, the blood dragon is responsible for bringing people to control the strength of several cities under the hands of Xu Weida, he sent a few backbones of his blood dragon team to lead the team to raid a few cities, those cities inside the little brother was not so loyal to Xu Weida, it is very easy to be controlled in the hands of the night, most of the cities in the whole province of Ji have fallen into the control of the bad Lin, even the outside world The outside world di
Zhao Hu suddenly laughed, this Xu Weida is very interesting, timid, cunning, good at flattering, he almost put the means to save his life in one, such a person can be mixed to this point today, plus surprisingly able to break through to the Huanjing stage, it must be said that he does not know how much luck he carries in his body.Wood said, "Yes."Just after saying that, Xu Weida had already fired, the wood bent down to dodge the bullet, then the whole person suddenly left and right, rapidly approaching Xu Weida, Xu Weida continuously fired several bullets, all missed.Seeing that the wood was approaching, Xu Weida began to dodge, his goal was to delay until ten minutes, so he delayed as much as he could, and did not engage the wood if he could.One of the two retreated, the other chased, Wood was ultimately a little faster, but there was another three or four minutes delay in the process.Everyone looked stupid, not a martial arts, how Xu Weida has be
Night, Xu Weida just lay down, because some excitement has not yet fallen asleep, although it is said that before he has taken the Ji Province, but his foundation is still shallow, if not before the general and Lin Huai to Zhang Tian them, I'm afraid that he is now also has been defected to the Zhang Tian's henchmen, he has never itself is a very know what's right and wrong, know what's right and wrong is the way of his survival, and also to help him step by step to the present day, to live to the Today.Just for a martial artist, the heart of pride is the most important, if even a little bit of sharpness is gone, then basically lost further hope, in fact, Xu Weida himself also know that he in the road of martial arts is probably the end of the road, but also because of this, so he is even more concerned about his own achievements in the underground world.For most of the martial artists and people in the underground world, isn't living for a better life, their talent is
