Chapter 862 - 862 Intimidation?
862 Intimidation?
“Could it be that you already knew the seriousness of the problem, so you came to deal with it personally?”
“Of course. I’m just eating to pass the time.”
“What about the people you brought with you?”
Lin Yi looked at Liu Wenchang, who was holding his legs tightly. “I brought him, but seeing how cowardly he is, I don’t think he can help much.”
“I’m not talking about him. I’m talking about the other help you brought.”
“What help?” Lin Yi muttered, “I’ve grown my own hands, I don’t need anyone to feed me.”
Qu Bing was stunned for a while. “That’s not what I’m talking about. Aren’t you here to settle the matter? You should bring a few important figures to help you plead for mercy.”
“Oh, I see what you mean,” Lin Yi said.
“I originally wanted to bring someone along, but after thinking about it carefully, it would be too troublesome, so I’m prepared to deal with it myself.”
“Um…”
Qu Bing did not know what to say.
He came to such a place alone. Was he really skilled and bold, or was he brave but not resourceful?
The people who came to pay their respects today were not only the merchants of Yangcheng, but also many of Fifth Master’s subordinates and also his famous godson.
If there was a conflict, who knew if Lin Yi could walk out unscathed?
“Bingbing, stop standing here. Listen to me and leave quickly.” Feng Peipei, her best friend, said, “Fifth Master and the others will be coming down soon. If you don’t leave now, it will be too late.”
“I’m not leaving.” Qu Bing said.
“My brother and his sister’s relationship is quite stable. They’ll probably get married in a year or so. If I leave, it’ll definitely affect their relationship.”
Lin Yi looked up at Qu Bing.
He felt that this girl was not bad. In the future, when Ning Yue married into the Qu family, she would not suffer any losses.
“Fifth Master is here!”
Just as Qu Bing and her best friend were in a deadlock…
The exclamations in the venue broke the silence.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the staircase of the banquet hall.
A man with black and white hair, wearing a black and red Tang suit, slowly walked down the stairs.
Behind him were more than 20 people. They were powerful and had a strong aura.
“President Lin, Wu Tianfu is at the front. Other than Wu Jinsong, the other person behind him is his godson, Zhao Guangli. He has already taken over his position and has a lot of prestige,” Liu Wenchang said.
“Behind Zhao Guangli are the people in charge of the various districts in Yangcheng. In short, they’re all very powerful.”
“From the looks of it, he probably wants to nurture a regent to assist his son in the future.”
“That’s precisely it.”
Lin Yi took a sip of his drink, his expression unconcerned.
What a bunch of rabble. They were quite good at showing off.
Qu Bing frowned slightly. Although she did not know much about him, she could still feel it.
Lin Yi should be very powerful in Zhonghai. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such confidence.
However, she did not know if he could escape unscathed.
“President Lin, Fifth Master is here. What should we do now?”
“He didn’t cover your mouth. You should eat and drink. Why are you thinking so much?”
Liu Wenchang smiled bitterly. If I were as capable as you, I wouldn’t be afraid either.
Wu Tianfu and the others arrived at the scene and smiled at the people present.
“Thank you, friends, for coming to my birthday banquet despite your busy schedules. I, Wu, have prepared a banquet. I hope everyone will not mind.”
“You’re too kind, Fifth Master. It’s our honor to be able to attend your sixtieth birthday.”
“Fifth Master, although today is your sixtieth birthday, you look like you’re in your forties. With your vigor, we really can’t envy you.”
“You’re too kind, everyone.” Wu Tianfu chuckled.
“Those who can come here today are people in my circle. Try to cooperate more in the future and make more money, especially those who are willing to work with me, Wu Tianfu. I will definitely not mistreat you in the future.”
“Thank you, Fifth Master.” A middle-aged man raised his wine glass. “I suggest that we toast Fifth Master. May Fifth Master’s fortune be as good as the East Sea and his life be as long as the South Mountain. He will have his day every year, and this moment every birthday.”
Lin Yi pursed his lips and spat out a piece of chicken bone. “I can tell at a glance that they are all bootlickers.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s toast to Fifth Master together.”
Wu Tianfu smiled and raised his glass. “Thank you for your kindness.”
The guests present drank their wine in one gulp. The atmosphere was harmonious, and the guests and hosts were happy.
“Come, come, come. Make way, make way.”
After drinking a cup of wine, a shout suddenly sounded in the venue.
The door at the side of the venue opened, and four trembling people walked in with a huge golden Buddha measuring more than a meter tall.
Upon seeing the Great Golden Buddha, exclamations filled the hall.
Such a huge golden Buddha would probably cost tens of millions.
Who on earth gave such an expensive gift? They were too generous.
The one-meter-tall golden Buddha was carried in front of Wu Tianfu.
At the same time, Wu Tianfu’s godson, Zhao Guangli, stepped forward.
“Godfather, this is the congratulatory gift I prepared for you. It’s a magnificent gift that can shake the four seas!”
Knowing that the Buddha was a gift from Zhao Guangli, the people present understood that he was showing his loyalty.
Lin Yi raised his head and his gaze landed on the four Buddha-carrying men.
Then, he took out his phone to compare them.
The two people standing in front were the people who had fought with his father that day.
Lin Yi smiled and muttered to himself, “I was just worried that I wouldn’t be able to find you guys, but you actually came to me instead.”
Meanwhile, upon seeing such a big Buddha, Wu Tianfu said,
“Kid, why did you bring such a big thing over? We’re all family. You’re spending all that on frivolous things.”
“This is a token of my appreciation. I hope you can accept it, Godfather.”
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll accept it,” Wu Tianfu said with a smile.
A kind smile, just like the big Buddha.
At this moment, Zhao Guangli brought over a glass of wine and said to everyone present,
“I used to be a laborer that carried sacks for a living. If it weren’t for Godfather’s care, I, Zhao Guangli, wouldn’t be where I am today.
“Today, on my godfather’s sixtieth birthday, I want to say something to everyone present.
“If you respect my godfather in the future, I, Zhao Guangli, will definitely repay you. However, if anyone doesn’t know what’s good for them and dares to ruin my godfather’s plans, don’t blame me for being rude.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s gazes focused on a corner as they looked at Lin Yi and Liu Wenchang.
This was because many of them knew that Chaoyang Group had robbed Wu Tianfu of his business.
Since he dared to openly go against Wu Tianfu in Yang City, he had to give an explanation.
“Alright, my godson has a bad temper. Don’t take what he said to heart. Today is a happy day. Everyone, enjoy yourselves. Don’t ruin the mood.”
“Alright, alright, alright. Thank you, Fifth Master.”
Wu Tianfu nodded and slowly walked in Lin Yi’s direction.
The scene was extremely quiet. No one knew what would happen in a while.
“President Liu, do you have time now? There are some private matters I want to talk to you about,” Wu Tianfu said with a smile.
