All Chapters of The Great Trump Card: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

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 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

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

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

It was apparent that Hou Yangsheng was a businessman because he did not have the fierce aura that a gangster would have. He looked calm, as if he would not bring harm to a person.Lin Huai placed the fruits beside the man before speaking eagerly, “Mr. Hou, it’s my honor to be your guest today.”“Hahaha! Don’t be so courteous with me! Quickly take a seat.”Hence, Lin Huai sat down on the couch while Hou Yangsheng walked to the hall in the direction of the sofa as he ordered, “Bring some fruits over.”“Sure thing, Sir.” A beautiful maid who was in her thirties walked to the kitchen from the hall. Lin Huai noticed that her figure was quite alluring and she swayed her body as she walked. I didn’t know that Hou Yangsheng knew how to enjoy life.Hou Yangsheng sat opposite him and asked with a smile, “How old are you, Mr. Lin?”“I’m 19 going on to 20.”“I see.” He nodded wistfully. “You
