48: Hidden needles in cotton

Because of a single comment from Shen Tianlong, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Veins popped on Wang Chenghu’s forehead, and his gaze was wolf-like.

If Ge Yusheng hadn’t been sitting there to keep things calm, he might have already exploded with rage and fought Shen Tianlong to the death.

“Haha, Mr.

Shen really knows how to joke, I personally don’t have the habit of raising dogs,” Ge Yusheng chuckled, while his hand also pressed down on the shoulders of Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao, signaling them not to act rashly.

Shen Tianlong remained composed, as if he hadn’t seen the darkened faces of Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao.

Ye Qiu reevaluated Shen Tianlong, no wonder he could establish such a business empire; with such calmness in the face of troubles, he was indeed no ordinary person.

“Let’s not discuss what these two brothers of mine did, but the talents Mr.

Shen has recently recruited have truly impressed Mr.

Ge,” Ge Yusheng said.

“Oh?

Mr.

Ge, whom are you referring to?” Shen Tianlong feigned ignorance.

“Hehe, Mr.

Shen, don’t play coy with me.

I’m talking about this young brother sitting beside you,” Ge Yusheng’s gaze settled on Ye Qiu.

“May I ask the young brother’s surname?” Ge Yusheng asked with a smile.

His face wrinkled up in amusement, a smile that made Ye Qiu frown slightly.

“Ye Qiu,” Ye Qiu said, knowing that Ge Yusheng was about to state his purpose for today.

“Young Mr.

Ye, I didn’t expect you to be so highly regarded by Mr.

Ge,” Shen Tianlong chuckled.

“Young Brother Ye is indeed a promising individual.

Mr.

Shen must have gone to great lengths to keep Brother Ye by his side,” Ge Yusheng remarked, his eyes squinted like a lion eyeing its prey, especially when keenly observing before making an attack.

“Young Brother Ye, I don’t know what Mr.

Shen offered you to stay by his side, how about this, I’ll double the price for you to join me at Rong Da?” Ge Yusheng suddenly said.

At this remark, Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao both glanced at Ge Yusheng with confusion and quickly interjected, “Big brother…”

Ge Yusheng waved his hand and chastised in a low voice, “I’m talking to Young Brother Ye, don’t interrupt.”

Although the two intended to say more, seeing Ge Yusheng’s expression, they immediately swallowed back the words they were about to say.

“Mr.

Shen, you wouldn’t mind if I poach from you in your presence, would you?” Ge Yusheng chuckled, his gaze lingering on Shen Tianlong.

Shen Tianlong responded indifferently, “Mr.

Ge may find himself disappointed if he wishes to poach my people.”

Ge Yusheng did not respond; his eyes intently focused on Ye Qiu.

“Young Brother Ye, what do you think?

Whatever Mr.

Shen is paying, I will offer double.”

Seeing that Ye Qiu did not speak, Ge Yusheng continued, “Just name your price, as long as it is reasonable.

How about coming to Rong Da with me?”

Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered, seemingly deep in thought, as everyone’s gaze turned toward him.

After a moment, Ye Qiu smiled, “They say a good bird chooses a tree to perch on.

Mr.

Ge, your generous offer is indeed very tempting.”

Ge Yusheng continued to smile, waiting for Ye Qiu’s next words.

“Does that mean you agree?”

Ye Qiu shook his head, “Mr.

Ge thinks too highly of me; your offer is indeed very good.” Ye Qiu paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone’s faces, and continued, “But…

I am just a complacent layman, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Mr.

Ge.

I prefer to stay in one place; changing locations might cause me insomnia.”

Ge Yusheng was momentarily stunned before bursting into loud laughter, “It seems Young Brother Ye is truly a loyal person.

Well then, let’s disregard what I said earlier.

Mr.

Shen, you have found a good brother indeed.

Even I cannot sway Young Brother Ye.”

Shen Tianlong had known all along that Ye Qiu would not agree and simply smiled faintly.

“Hmph, unappreciative,” Wang Chenghu muttered under his breath and fiercely glanced at Ye Qiu.

The attention soon shifted from Ye Qiu as Ge Yusheng and Shen Tianlong began discussing business matters.

The atmosphere eased significantly.

Using the excuse of needing to use the restroom, Ye Qiu temporarily left the dinner table.

Exiting the private room, he surveyed the corridor, where four or five men in black stood, monitoring the situation.

He had come out to scout the layout in case something unexpected happened later; this way, he could be prepared and not be thrown off.

At the same time, he wanted to confirm how many assassins were hidden throughout the hotel.

Ye Qiu reached the restroom, which was empty, “Well hidden indeed.

If it were not for their aura giving them away, it would be really hard to notice them just by sight.”

Ye Qiu indifferently urinated, sensing that at least two assassins were hiding outside the restroom window.

He didn’t act rashly, after all, it wasn’t yet time to completely fall out with Ge Yusheng, otherwise he wouldn’t have left Shen Tianlong and the butler alone in the private room while he stepped out by himself.

After relieving himself, Ye Qiu pulled up his trousers and stood in front of the mirror to wash his hands when a voice rang out, “Young brother Ye Qiu, what a coincidence, you’re here too.”

Ge Yusheng, smiling, approached without entering the restroom and turned on the tap to wash his hands.

As they each washed their hands, their reflections appeared in the mirror; flicking the water off his hands, Ge Yusheng wiped his eyes and said, “Young brother Ye Qiu, are you really not considering the offer I mentioned before?”

“There’s no one here.

Like I said at the table just now, just name your price, and I can agree to it.

How about you come and join me at Rongda?”

“What’s so good about following that old guy?

Whatever he can give you, I can provide too.

I have all the money.”

Ye Qiu, with a moist palm, lightly stroked his hair, looking at Ge Yusheng: “Boss Ge, do you know what aspect of businessmen most people can’t stand?”

“Hehe, tell me, young brother Ye Qiu,” Ge Yusheng replied.

“Businessmen worship profit, and they chase profit single-mindedly.

Some people, once they attain some net worth, think money can buy everything.

I’m not wrong, am I, Boss Ge?” Ye Qiu paused.

“You’re not wrong—money is omnipotent in this world,” Ge Yusheng replied.

“Though I like money too, I have my principles, and I am afraid I must decline, as our paths don’t align, Boss Ge,” said Ye Qiu, turning and walking towards the door.

“Young brother Ye Qiu, don’t you know it’s hard to decline a generous offer?

As long as you follow me, I, Ge Yusheng, will not treat you poorly,” Ge Yusheng insisted.

“Boss Ge, do you think I’m following Shen Tianlong just because he can give me a lot of money?” Ye Qiu laughed and turned back, “The things I, Ye Qiu, want can’t be provided by others.

Save your breath, Boss Ge.”

“Being young and zealous is good, but it seems you’re a bit too overconfident, Ye Qiu!”

Watching Ye Qiu walk away, Ge Yusheng’s face, full of smiles, flickered with a cold light, now that the soft approach had failed, a harder one was necessary.

…

By the time Shen Tianlong and Ye Qiu left the rural guest house, it was nearly ten o’clock.

Ge Yusheng didn’t make a move, simply letting his old rival Shen Tianlong leave.

In the car, Shen Tianlong suddenly asked, “You ran into Ge Yusheng in the bathroom, didn’t you?”

Ye Qiu nodded.

“You didn’t agree to him?”

Ye Qiu nodded again, then asked, “Do you believe I didn’t secretly agree to him?”

Shen Tianlong laughed: “I know Ge Yusheng too well.

He thinks that by meeting you in the restroom, he can make me suspicious, but he doesn’t know that no matter what, I would never doubt you.”

“Why?” asked Ye Qiu, puzzled by Shen Tianlong’s strong confidence.

“Hehe, you are his disciple after all, so of course I trust you, and that’s why I would never fall for his scheme,” Shen Tianlong said.

“Thank you for your trust, Director Shen,” Ye Qiu sincerely replied, feeling the trust Shen Tianlong had in him.

It seemed he blindly trusted the old enthusiast, or he wouldn’t have treated him with such sincerity.

“We’ve managed to safely get through this tricky banquet,” Shen Tianlong said, sitting in the car and letting out a breath of relief.

Competing with cunning old fox like Ge Yusheng required multiple preparations.

Fortunately, the other party hadn’t gone mad enough to force them to stay in the private room.

However, Ye Qiu’s expression wasn’t as relaxed as Shen Tianlong’s; he carefully sensed the changes around him, suddenly his expression changed.

“As expected, they made a move!”

Ye Qiu sensed the ever-closing presence of an assassin, just as he had predicted—Ge Yusheng had indeed hired these assassins to target him.

In the restaurant, Ge Yusheng hadn’t made a move, and that was when Ye Qiu had started to suspect when Ge Yusheng would act, and indeed, they struck on their way home. freewebnøvel.com

“Finally couldn’t resist making a move, huh!” A smile formed on the corner of Ye Qiu’s mouth.
