That evening.

Meadow Tavern.

This was the most famous and expensive restaurant in Zhongshan City, frequented by the city’s elites.

Meadow Tavern was well known for its Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine, beloved by many customers.

Today, Meadow Tavern was somewhat different from usual because the entire first, second, and third floors were empty without a single table occupied.

However, the lights were on, and it didn’t look like it was closed.

“Is everything arranged?” a man in a suit and leather shoes asked the restaurant manager.

The manager nodded.

“We have posted a notice saying the entire restaurant has been booked, and today we won’t accommodate anyone other than those specified.”

The man in the suit nodded in satisfaction.

He was a middle manager from Rongda Group, and today, the entire Rongda board was attending to host a banquet for a business tycoon from Zhongshan City—it was a significant event, and he was responsible for coordinating with the restaurant to prevent any mishaps.

Rongda Group and Longjia Group were well-known rivals, and today marked a meeting between two business giants of Zhongshan City, surely for some important matters.

After receiving instructions from his boss, the man began making arrangements in the restaurant to ensure everything was in order.

Around eight in the evening, Shen Tianlong arrived at Meadow Tavern with Ye Qiu.

With its lavish exterior and a touch of rural charm, Ye Qiu followed Shen Tianlong into a private room on the second floor.

“Mr.

Shen.”

“Mr.

Ge.”

As Shen Tianlong entered the private room, he saw three men sitting across from him, around his age, one of whom appeared somewhat older but was very spirited, with piercing eyes that gave off a sense of sharp acumen.

The eldest among them was Ge Yusheng, the major director of Rongda Group, and also the elder brother of Ruan Guotao and Wang Chenghu.

Usually, Wang Chenghu handled the company’s affairs, turning to Ruan Guotao only if he couldn’t resolve them.

And if Ruan Guotao also failed, then Ge Yusheng had to step in.

This significant and mysterious director from Rongda, Ge Yusheng, had finally made an appearance.

Ge Yusheng and Shen Tianlong were old acquaintances who had shared many past interactions.

This meeting was their first face-to-face in five years.

“Thank you, Mr.

Shen, for gracing us with your presence and giving me, Ge Yusheng, this honor,” said Ge Yusheng as he clasped his fists.

Butler Liu quickly pulled out a chair for Shen Tianlong to sit.

Ge’s gaze briefly swept over Ye Qiu, then quickly returned to Shen Tianlong.

“When Mr.

Ge invites, I, Shen Tianlong, must make time no matter how busy I am.

It has been many years, Mr.

Ge, and you look very well.

It seems life abroad has been pleasing!

Unlike me, always having to handle various matters personally, I’m so busy that my hair has gone white,” Shen Tianlong sighed.

“If Mr.

Shen were not so hands-on, there wouldn’t be a Longjia Group today.

I really admire that, please have a seat,” Ge Yusheng extended his hand and then signalled to a waiter standing by the door, who immediately understood that Mr.

Ge wanted them to start serving the dishes.

Ye Qiu was seated to the right of Shen Tianlong, facing Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao, who were sitting to either side of Ge Yusheng.

Their eyes were fixed on each other.

A smile hung on Ye Qiu’s face, while Wang Chenghu had a dark expression.

He and Ye Qiu had had several conflicts, particularly during their first encounter when Ye Qiu unexpectedly showed up in his office, which not only startled Wang but also infuriated him when Ye boldly told him not to target Shen Meng.

Though Wang Chenghu later hired an assassin to kill Ye Qiu and ended up failing miserably, he had to call on his older brother, Ruan Guotao.

The nightmare failed again and repeatedly so with Ye Qiu, indicating Wang Chenghu’s deep animosity towards him.

In contrast to Wang Chenghu, Ruan Guotao’s demeanor was much more composed.

He didn’t seem to have as much animosity towards Ye Qiu, but his gaze contained deep wariness, probably due to the assassin’s failures, which made him somewhat fearful of Ye Qiu’s capabilities.

Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao were unable to handle Ye Qiu, so they had to ask their elder brother, Ge Yusheng, who was overseas, to come back.

Here it was, when Ruan Guotao and Wang Chenghu had narrated everything about Ye Qiu from beginning to end, Ge Yusheng considered for a while and decided to invite Shen Tianlong to dinner.

That’s how today’s dinner came about.

At that time, Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao were still doubting whether Shen Tianlong would dare to come, because it was clear that this was a trap, but just as the elder brother had predicted, Shen Tianlong did come, and Ye Qiu followed.

“Mr.

Shen, you and I have competed in business for so many years, honestly, I really admire your courage,” freēnovelkiss.com

“Mr.

Ge, you flatter me.

If my business has achieved its current success, half of the credit still goes to you,” Shen Tianlong said with a hint of sarcasm.

“Haha, Mr.

Shen, you really love to joke,” laughed Ge Yusheng.

Their open and secret struggles had long been known in the business world, not just overnight, so when Shen Tianlong mentioned relying on him, it was actually the reverse, especially since the development of Longjia Group only began to grow gradually after resolving the troubles caused by Rongda Manufacturing.

The two of them laughed it off without delving into these issues, as they both knew that these were just pleasantries, not the main topic for today.

Soon, the drinks and dishes were served.

As the waiter filled the glasses for everyone, Ge Yusheng raised his glass and said, “Mr.

Shen, this first drink is for you.

I hope you won’t blame these two useless brothers of mine; their actions weren’t intentional.”

Ge Yusheng drank his glass in one gulp, putting on an apologetic face for Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao toward Shen Tianlong.

“Oh?

I wonder what wrongs your younger brothers have done?

Forgive me, my memory is poor, I really don’t recall,” Shen Tianlong said, smiling and shaking his head, without drinking.

“Hehe, Mr.

Shen, you are a person who forgets things of the past.

Perhaps in your eyes, it was a minor issue.

It seems Mr.

Shen didn’t take it to heart, I truly admire your magnanimity,” Ge Yusheng said, drinking another glass.

“In business, I, Shen Tianlong, only believe in harmony, harmony brings wealth, and wealth should be earned together by everyone.”

“I, Shen Tianlong, don’t care about the losses in business, but there is one thing, my daughter.

If anyone dares to target my loved ones, I, Shen Tianlong, would stake the whole Longjia Group to personally bury those with ill intentions,” Shen Tianlong’s tone turned colder, especially his bold statement about sacrificing his entire business empire for Shen Mengchen, not blinking an eye.

His daughter, Shen Mengchen, was his Achilles’ heel; no one could touch her, or he would stake all his wealth to fight to the death.

Hearing this, Ge Yusheng inwardly sighed at how boldly and fiercely Shen Tianlong spoke, while also contemplating another idea.

“Hehe, Mr.

Shen, you jest.

There are rules in business, and lowly acts like targeting someone’s loved ones are not acceptable to reputable people like us,” Ge Yusheng laughed.

“I believe Mr.

Ge isn’t that kind of person, but I worry about some dogs that don’t understand human speech.

If they don’t act according to their master’s will and mess things up, it always ends up with the master having to clean up after them, which is really unfortunate,” Shen Tianlong turned his words around, and with that statement, Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao’s faces immediately changed, clearly being referred to.

“Mr.

Ge, I believe you don’t have such dogs around, right,” Shen Tianlong continued, “By the way, what was that you were telling me earlier about what your two brothers had done?” He pretended not to understand what Ge Yusheng had been saying earlier.

As Ye Qiu listened to Shen Tianlong’s last statement, he secretly gave a thumbs up.

The old man’s words were sharper than he expected, berating others without using a single curse word, yet leaving them speechless.

Ge Yusheng smiled faintly without speaking.

In this game of chess, it seemed Shen Tianlong had the upper hand.

However, Ye Qiu had another concern: that if Shen Tianlong completely infuriated the other party, the two of them might find it difficult to leave the restaurant today.

Ye Qiu had already noticed that there were quite a few people hiding on the third floor and the first floor of the restaurant.

That murderous aura was definitely that of assassins.

With so many assassins gathered here, Ye Qiu had confirmed his suspicion that the mercenary group Ye Zi mentioned, the one that hired assassins, had to be the Rongda Group.

Moreover, from the current situation, it was clear that the other party hired assassins, specifically for him, Ye Qiu.
