Li Hanbo and Hou San, who were following behind, exchanged puzzled glances. Just who are these people It's worth having Old Zhong treat them like this! One must remember that Old Zhong's grandfather was once the number one person in their field; even now after retirement, there's still a contingent of Old Zhong's faction within the disciplinary committee.
In booth 318, Xiao Yu, Wei Jun, and Chen Qing were already well into their drinking session since they had finished what they came for. Wei Jun and Chen Qing were clearly more than half drunk when suddenly, someone knocked on the door, prompting them to look at each other in confusion about who could be paying a visit.
As Wei Jun was closest to the door, upon hearing the knock, he staggered up before Xiao Yu had even moved to open it.
Upon opening the door and seeing five or six young men outside, Wei Jun was taken aback and said, "Are you looking for someone You must have got lost!"
"You little punk! What do you think you're—" Hou San started to yell from behind before being abruptly silenced by a sharp look from Zhong Tao. At this point, Hou San remembered what Zhong Tao had said earlier and sullenly shut up.
"I'm looking for Chen Qing. Is he here" Li Hanbo at the back of the group asked.
"Looking for Brother Chen Please wait a moment!" Wei Jun, upon hearing that they were looking for Chen Qing, glanced at them and said.
Though he didn't know what these men did, Wei Jun sensed an arrogance emanating from their very cores, as if it was something they had been born with.
"Looking for me Who are you" asked Chen Qing, his eyes somewhat blurry due to his drunken state.
Chen Qing staggered out and saw Li Hanbo already standing up front. His mind cleared slightly at the sight of him as he said, "Director Li! Please come in!"
Chen Qing looked at Li Hanbo, who was full of confusion, and then glanced at the few people following him. He thought to himself, "What’s going on here" Especially since those few people were arrogant when he passed them earlier; what happened now He had no connection with them!
As soon as Chen Qing finished speaking, Zhong Tao quickly walked past Li Hanbo and entered the private room. Upon entering and seeing Xiao Yu sitting at one side, he let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Ahaha, Doctor Xiao, it’s really you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu turned around to see Zhong Tao, also looking confused: "Zhong Tao What are you doing here"
Seeing that the two knew each other, Chen Qing was taken aback. So they know each other This person had been sitting arrogantly at the main seat earlier, but now he looked friendly and even a little subservient.
By then, Chen Qing had sobered up quite a bit. He looked at Xiao Yu with puzzlement; what kind of person is this Xiao Yu
Liu Hanbo he knew—he was a big shot from the capital city who came to Jinzhou for personal gain. As for this one—Chen Qing guessed that his background might even be bigger than Liu Hanbo's, otherwise why would he sit at the main seat while Liu Hanbo, a local bigwig, showed no sign of displeasure.
The few people following Zhong Tao in were completely dumbfounded. They fell to their knees and thought to themselves, "Am I seeing things" Although they had suspected that this man might know Zhong Tao, Zhong Tao's attitude clearly indicated more than mere acquaintance! They had never seen Zhong Tao talk like this with anyone else; moreover, there seemed to be a hint of restraint in his tone.
Though these people didn’t know who Xiao Yu was, it did not stop them from changing their attitudes. They put aside the superiority complex they were born with and looked at Zhong Tao and Xiao Yu respectfully.
"Ahaha... My friend Li Family’s second son has been posted to the deep sea area; we came to visit him!" Zhong Tao laughed nervously, speaking cautiously.
Zhong Tao had no choice but to be cautious. This person was known in their Zhong family as a unique character. Grandma had said that this man was truly extraordinary—otherwise, how could he control the蠱 (a type of curse) within a certain range without hurting the heart The old lady understood more about蠱 than anyone else and had seen many cases; however, only a few people could use it to find others! Even the Miao Kingdom’s king couldn’t do that!
Wei Jun was also confused as he looked at Xiao Yu. Among these people, he knew Xiao Yu best, but recently even he found him hard to understand. He was aware of Chen Qing too; if not for his father's established empire, it would be difficult for him to seek help from Chen Qing. Even less likely would he go out of the way for a friend's matter.
Now, Chen Qing also treats these people with utmost caution, especially the newly arrived Director Li. From what Chen Qing implied, this person has an extensive network in Beijing; even officials' and tycoons' children have their own cliques. However, within that clique, it seems that this new Director Li can only be respected as a minor figure, which gives us an idea of how significant the other individuals are.
Xiao Yu's family background he knew was just an ordinary household running a small clinic. Xiao Yu got some money by chance from撿漏 (a lucky find), but when did he meet these people It seems this person holds him in high regard.
"Please sit down, Zhong Tao, have a seat! Everyone, let's sit and talk!" As the guest is always treated with courtesy, Xiao Yu had everyone sit down and ordered the waitstaff to change out the dishes.
"Doctor Xiao, there’s no need for words! I'll toast you first!" As soon as Zhong Tao sat down, he poured a glass of wine from the bottle and raised it towards Xiao Yu.
Seeing Zhong Tao pouring a full cup of liquor into a two-ounce glass to toast Xiao Yu, those who came with him immediately widened their eyes. It was well-known in circles that Boss Zhong rarely drinks; even close acquaintances would just pick up the wineglass as a formality. They never expected Zhong Tao to actually raise such a large cup of wine now.
Initially thinking this person must be Zhong Tao's friend, hence his visit, they were all wrong. Judging from the current situation, it’s not just friendship; in Beijing, there aren’t many young people who can elicit such treatment. His background has to be more significant than 李瀚博's.
Chen Qing now felt that coming here to help Wei Jun was undoubtedly the best decision of his life. In this case, he should thank 李瀚博 properly because without him initially stepping in, not only would there have been no opportunity for him to help, but also no chance to meet Xiao Yu. Although Chen Qing doesn't know what background Xiao Yu comes from, it’s apparent that it's substantial.
Seeing Zhong Tao raise a glass of wine, Xiao Yu followed suit and raised his own glass to clink with Zhong Tao’s. Then, Zhong Tao introduced the few individuals who came with him to Xiao Yu.
Hearing Zhong Tao's introductions, Xiao Yu didn't react much, but Wei Jun and Chen Qing were flabbergasted. Who in the world are these people Apart from 李瀚博, every other person comes from families led by a full ministerial-level official. Although 李瀚博’s father is merely a vice-ministerial level, his influence outweighs that of others in Chen Qing's eyes.
Xiao Yu now drinks without refusal; after several rounds, he was already slightly drunk, while Zhong Tao and the rest were even worse off—hardly anyone could stand. Seeing them swaying by the table, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile wryly. How to deal with so many people
In particular, Wei Jun and Chen Qing had already consumed quite a bit with him earlier. Now they were completely out of it. Through the waiter Xiao Yu, he learned that although Wanxiang Tower didn't look very big from the outside, there were actually quite a few guest rooms in the backyard.
Xiao Yu and several waiters helped them to the guest rooms in the backyard of Wanxiang Tower. The guest room building in the backyard was also three stories high. Xiao Yu took a look around and noticed that the tallest building in Wanxiang Tower was only three stories high, but its area was surprisingly vast. For it to occupy such a large piece of land in this prime location next to the ecological park, it must have some clout.
After sending Wei Jun and Zhong Tao into their rooms, Xiao Yu went out to settle the bill at the front desk when he suddenly sensed a strong aura of Yin energy similar to that of the resentful spirit in the painting Wei Jun had collected earlier from the backyard behind the guest rooms.
Xiao Yu's brows furrowed slightly. ‘It’s such heavy Yin energy!’ He couldn’t help but take a step toward the backyard behind the guest rooms. The backyard was a small compound with two courtyards, and Xiao Yu sensed that the Yin energy came from the courtyard at the back of the compound. Seeing no one around, he continued to move forward.
Upon arriving at the smaller courtyard, Xiao Yu saw a large pile of coal in front of him, with an isolated, factory-like tall tile-roofed building standing alone in a corner. The entire yard was pitch black without any light, and the open door of the tile-roofed building looked like the gaping mouth of a giant beast ready to devour someone.
Since Xiao Yu entered this courtyard, he felt that the Yin energy and resentment grew denser, with these energies coming from that large tile-roofed building. Xiao Yu quietly approached the entrance of the tile-roofed building and looked inside. In the dark, a large boiler was situated in the middle of the room, looking rather ominous. At one corner of the tile-roofed building was a small makeshift steel-colored house. Faint light shone out from its windows.
Through the faint light from the small house’s window, Xiao Yu occasionally saw shadowy figures moving inside. Through his Yin-Yang eyes, he saw that there were at least ten ghostly shadows hovering in mid-air outside the small house, all female ghosts. Each of these female ghosts was heavily shrouded in thick Yin energy and resentment, causing their faces to twist猙獰，神色扭曲，憤恨之情溢於言表。他們時不時地從空中俯衝向小房子，但是一旦進入小屋，卻又像是遇到了什麼可怕的東西一樣倒飛出來，神色顯得有些慌亂。
然而，其他的女鬼好像並冇有察覺到這一點，她們一個接一個地俯衝下來，然後又一個個倒飛而出。這些女鬼彷彿不知疲倦，稍作休息後便一次次地繼續俯衝而下。
看著這些女鬼的行為，蕭煜眉頭緊皺，他發現每一個女鬼都充滿怨氣，臉上的表情扭曲猙獰，透露出一股憤恨之情。她們口中不時發出低聲嘶吼。
