Luxury suites at the hotel!
Qin Jiang came out of the room, twisted his neck, yawned, and stretched!
49. Zhao Shanhe walked over.
Sijiu: "Brother Jiang! Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Qin Jiang: "Not bad!"
Zhao Shanhe: "Brother Jiang! All our brothers are in position and currently at the hotel."
"All the cars have been rented!"
Qin Jiang checked the time:
Nine o'clock!
Qin Jiang: "Have all the brothers eat breakfast, and after breakfast, head straight to Rongxing's lair!"
Zhao Shanhe: "Yes!"
...
Half an hour later.
Downstairs at the hotel!
Eight hundred Black Dragon Guards escorted Qin Jiang to the car, and the convoy of hundreds of black cars headed straight for Rongxing. (These cars were rented in advance by Zhao Shanhe from a nearby car rental shop, since it was simply unrealistic to get cars from the North at the last minute. The Ning family was willing to provide cars, but Qin Jiang was unwilling to use them.)
This scene:
The crowd near the hotel caused a stir.
"Holy crap? Who are these people? All dressed in black suits? They definitely don't look like good guys..."
"Absolutely! Thousands of people! Hundreds of vehicles! Setting off in a massive procession, it looks like a brawl between some thugs..."
"Wait! That young man being surrounded looks so familiar... Holy crap! I remember now? Isn't that Qin Jiang, the mainland tycoon who was attacked yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, everyone else looked shocked.
Yesterday's attack on Qin Jiang caused quite a stir, with countless rumors circulating: but almost everyone was saying that Qin Jiang, a big shot from the mainland, had slapped Rongxing in the face the day before yesterday, and was retaliated against by being attacked and nearly killed yesterday.
But what do they see now?
The man who was killed by Rong Xing yesterday is now leading a massive convoy of over a thousand people in a caravan...
What is he going to do...?
Someone couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "The direction their convoy is heading seems to be towards Rongxing's headquarters..."
Whoosh...
The crowd erupted in uproar!
This moment:
Almost everyone had the same thought popping into their minds: this mainland tycoon wanted revenge.
He was going to lead his men to storm Rongxing's stronghold...
This is going to be a big problem...
Many people were shocked and immediately spread the news, which triggered a major earthquake throughout Phuket.
Yesterday, only the various factions in Phuket received the news, but now countless people throughout Phuket know about it.
The commotion it caused was naturally extraordinary!
Countless people turned their attention to Heilong's massive convoy, instinctively following it straight to Rongxing to see what was going on.
...
The Zhong family!
Looking at the empty courtyard, Third Master Zhong was a little anxious: the Zhong family was so lively yesterday, but today it is so deserted. Other families have a process of prosperity and flourishing, but his family went from rising to falling in just a few hours. Yesterday, he also received the news that Rongxing was going to hold a birthday banquet. He immediately prepared to attend, thinking it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make amends, but Second Master Zhong stopped him.
He paced back and forth hesitantly a few times.
"No!" Third Master Zhong said firmly, "If we don't go this time, there will be no way to ease the tensions. Rongxing might even think we're deliberately going against them, and the Zhong family can't afford the retaliation. I still have to go..."
Thinking of this.
He returned to his study and retrieved a treasured original painting by Master Qi, a priceless masterpiece! Most importantly, it was extremely rare and a truly invaluable gift.
But before he could leave, he was stopped by Master Zhong.
Second Master Zhong: "Third Brother! Where are you going?"
Third Master Zhong: "I'm going out for a walk..."
Master Zhong: "Going out for a stroll, carrying such valuable calligraphy and paintings again?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Third Master Zhong stopped concealing it and said directly, "Second Brother! We've already offended Rongxing's eldest sister by getting too close to Qin Jiang. This time, Rongxing is hosting a birthday banquet, and all the prominent figures in Pudi are going. If we don't go, won't we completely offend Rongxing? What if Rongxing retaliates against the Zhong family then...?"
Master Zhong: "But will it have any effect if you go now? The Ning family has already stood up for Qin Jiang! How much of a connection can we have with the Ning family through Qin Jiang? If you go to Rongxing's birthday banquet, you'll offend the Ning family as well. Without the Ning family's protection, Rongxing, with his personality, won't let us off the hook..."
Third Master Zhong: "Oh dear... what should we do then..."
Master Zhong: "Respond to all changes with constancy!"
Master Zhong shook his head and suddenly said, "Oh dear! Where's Zhong Ling? I haven't seen her today..."
Master Zhong: "She hasn't left the house since she came back yesterday..."
Third Master Zhong: "That's not right. Given her temper, she should have been making a fuss about going out today."
As the two were talking, Zhong Ling came out of the backyard to get something.
Third Master Zhong: "Zhong Ling! Come here..."
Zhong Ling: "Third Uncle! What's wrong?"
Master Zhong: "Did you see any members of the Ning family when you went to see Qin Jiang yesterday? Did he introduce you to anyone...?"
Zhong Ling: "The Ning family? I didn't see them!"
Third Master Zhong: "Oh dear...you silly girl! Now that we're completely tied to him and have offended Rongxing, we should at least secure some benefits. Here's what we'll do...I'll go with you to the hospital later to see Qin Jiang and ask him to introduce us to the Ning family. We can use this opportunity to build some connections with them..."
Zhong Ling: "I'm not going... Qin Jiang and I are friends. Wouldn't doing what you suggested be taking advantage of a friend?"
Third Master Zhong: "Silly girl! What do you mean by taking advantage of someone? Isn't that what friends are for? If we don't take advantage of them now, Qin Jiang will be back on the mainland in a couple of days. We'll offend Rongxing but we won't get involved with the Ning family either. We'll be caught in the middle."
Zhong Ling: "Then I can't take advantage of my friends..."
Third Master Zhong was about to say something more when Second Master Zhong stopped him: "Ling'er is right! Our Zhong family isn't the kind of people who take advantage of others. Just because Zhong Ling is friends with Qin Jiang doesn't mean we can take advantage of her. Besides, what you're doing is too obvious. It's inappropriate!"
"Offending Rongxing will certainly lead to retaliation, but our Zhong family has connections in Pudi over the years. It's not like Rongxing can do whatever he wants to us."
"How can we allow our family members to exploit others because of this little difficulty? It goes against the family's beliefs."
Master Zhong sighed, "Ah..."
Master Zhong: "But Zhong Ling, you still need to visit Qin Jiang. Since he's a friend, you can't just go for one day while he's in the hospital..."
Zhong Ling: "He wouldn't let me go today..."
Master Zhong: "He won't allow it?"
Zhong Ling: "Yes! Qin Jiang said something big will happen today, and after today everything will be over..."
Master Zhong and Master Zhong didn't understand what he meant...
At that very moment.
A member of the Zhong family rushed in, panting, and said to Second Master Zhong and Third Master Zhong, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle! We just received news that...that...Qin Jiang...has transferred over a thousand men from his hometown, and they're leading a massive force towards Rongxing..."
Mr. Zhong: (ᵒ̤̑ ₀̑ ᵒ̤̑)wow!*✰
Third Master Zhong: ∑(;°Д°)
