Chapter 525 324: A Power
"Hyena Brother," Wentian said, "it's not that we can't deal with them, but it's just a bit troublesome. A new power has recently barged into Shenming City and has already had quite a few conflicts with our Xindumei. Ordinarily, given Xindumei's strength, any external forces shouldn't have been able to stir up much trouble. However, this particular power is not that simple."
"What's so complicated about it?" Liu Wentian asked, raising an eyebrow.
"This power is called the Iron Mountain Gang. Originally, they were a gang from the neighboring city, not small in scale, and they've always been envious of Shenming City's territory," Hyena Brother explained. "Considering that Shenming City is now nearly as flourishing as the provincial capital Guangyang City, they didn't dare to cause trouble here in the past because of our Xindumei's presence. This time they dared to come over, and it seems that the Feng Family is involved, and besides them, another even more terrifying family seems to be involved as well."
Seeing Hyena Brother's extremely serious expression, Liu Wentian joked, "It's not the Yan Family from the imperial city, is it?"
"Uh..."
Hyena Brother intended to emphasize the fearsomeness of the Yan Family from the imperial city, but Liu Wentian had unexpectedly guessed it right away, and in surprise, he said, "Brother Tian, how did you know? Could it be that Sister Qin already told you about this?"
Liu Wentian shook his head; he had merely guessed. Ruge had just told him today that someone from the Yan Family in the imperial city was eyeing the Tiange Group. It seemed that the Yan Family wanted to extend their reach into Shenming City.
"So, what are you planning to do now?" Liu Wentian asked.
After pondering for a moment, Hyena Brother said, "My plan is to avoid the limelight for now, especially since the local leading family, the Feng Family, along with the Yan Family from the imperial city, are not to be underestimated. Today, the Iron Mountain Gang sent an invitation, saying they want to invite all kinds of different powers in Shenming City to discuss the future development of these alternative forces in three days. Clearly, it's a trap, so I plan—"
"Go!" Liu Wentian interrupted.
"What??"
Hyena Brother was stunned, doubting if he had heard mistakenly, and hurriedly said, "Brother Tian, I don't think it's that simple. The ambitions of the Iron Mountain Gang are too great, and we can't possibly sit down with them to discuss any kind of peaceful development. Inviting us over must involve a scheme! Are you sure you want to go?"
"Go! They've already invited us; why shouldn't we go? When did I ever say we were going to discuss peaceful development with them? I want them to roll back where they came from!" Liu Wentian said with a chill in his voice.
Xindumei belonged to Qin Keqing, which essentially meant it was his as well. Now that others had come to claim their territory, how could Liu Wentian be interested in talking about peaceful development with them!
Hyena Brother was somewhat dumbfounded. What did that mean? It sounded like they were heading into a bloodbath.
Hyena Brother knew Liu Wentian was not simple. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to prevent the alliance through marriage between the Qi and Qin families, but still, the Feng Family was not weak, let alone the involvement of the Yan Family from the imperial city!
The Yan Family, among the seven major families, might not make it into the top three, but they were definitely stronger than the Qi Family. They were indeed a real contender from beyond the rivers!
Liu Wentian was undoubtedly capable, but in Hyena Brother's view, he still couldn't match the combined strength of the Feng and Yan families!
Before he could say something else, Liu Wentian spoke again, "Alright, that's it, then. Since Keqing said that I now have the say in Xindumei's affairs, listen to me. When the time comes, give me a call, and I'll go with you."
After saying that, he walked into the flower shop and left directly, not waiting for Hyena Brother to respond.
Hyena Brother's lips twitched, his face a bitter smile. Suddenly, he somewhat regretted coming to Liu Wentian. He had hoped Liu might have some good suggestions, but instead, he just agreed to attend the banquet straightaway!
What kind of solution was that? It was basically jumping into a pit someone else had dug!
On the second floor of the flower shop, which now served as Li Chuyue's residence, it was equipped with a kitchen, bedroom, storeroom, among other amenities. When Liu Wentian arrived upstairs, Li Chuyue was in the kitchen cooking, wearing an apron. Liu Wentian leaned in the doorway, watching her enchantingly charming figure, feeling a homely warmth overwhelm him.
That night, Liu Wentian stayed over, ostensibly to continue the Liu family line, and only in the dead of night did he hold the sweat-drenched, exhausted Li Chuyue as she fell into a deep sleep against his chest.
...
The next day, Liu Wentian woke up early.
After practicing the "Heaven and Earth Demons Gods Technique" Second Layer again, he kissed the still-sleeping, exhausted from last night Li Chuyue, left her a note, and then left the Morning Wine Flower Shop.
First, he dropped Ruge off at the company, then at the company he instructed Li Kaishan and Qing Enna for a while, before leaving from the Flying Song Building.
At a bit past 9 in the morning, Liu Wentian appeared at the Tiange Group.
He had been here before and knew where Li He's office was. Without calling Li He, he entered the building and headed straight for Li He's office.
However, just when he was about to reach Li He's office door, a beautiful young woman in a purple business suit quickly walked out from the adjacent office and stepped in front of him, wary, she said, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
The beautiful young woman had an enchanting figure and was wearing delicate light makeup. She was probably in her early thirties, and her name was Mi Lin, Li He's new secretary.
At that moment, her gaze towards Liu Wentian was filled with confusion and vigilance.
It's important to understand that besides the secretary, this floor was solely for the group's senior management, ordinary staff were not allowed up here, and Liu Wentian's casual attire clearly didn't look like he belonged there.
What do you think?
