"You're amazing, Wu Ji. To be able to invite such a powerful figure! Even if Haitong Group is formidable, they're no match for Commander Wan. His position is equivalent to the City Affairs Department in Yan Jing, the same rank as the Governor of Jiang Province!"
"Once Haitong Group goes bankrupt, they'll have no other options!"
After hearing Xiao Wuji's words, Ji Xueshuang burst into laughter.
"Young Master Xiao, you're incredible! I'll toast you, Young Master Xiao!"
Bai Hao was also extremely excited. He quickly raised his wine glass with both hands and said respectfully,
"Mm!"
Xiao Wuji nodded and took a sip.
At this moment, the sound of shattering glass and noisy voices suddenly came from outside.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Wuji's expression turned cold instantly, and he asked sternly.
"Please wait a moment, Young Master Xiao. I'll go and check!"
Bai Hao quickly stood up and walked outside. A few minutes later, he returned with a man.
"Young Master Xiao, let me introduce you. This is Kong Hexuan, the heir of the Kong family in Jiangbei City. The Kong family's strength is comparable to my Bai family!"
"Young Master Kong is displeased and drank a little too much outside, accidentally breaking a bottle!"
Bai Hao quickly explained.
"Young Master Kong, what is it that's bothering you? Tell me, and let me have a good laugh!"
Xiao Wuji looked at Kong Hexuan and said with a smile. With his status, he naturally didn't pay attention to these young masters from minor places.
"Young Master Xiao, you're too kind. Before you, how dare I call myself Young Master Kong? Just call me Xiao Kong!"
Kong Hexuan quickly bowed, his attitude extremely respectful, and continued, "Originally, I was about to win over Shen Yiman, the general manager of Heilong Capital, today. But I was ruined by that damn live-in son-in-law who suddenly appeared, which is why I came here to drown my sorrows!"
"I didn't expect to disturb Young Master Xiao. Please don't mind. I'll pay for all the expenses today!"
"Haha, so you had ulterior motives, you brat!"
"But that's perfect. I'm just about to deal with Haitong Group and Heilong Capital. Why don't you join our ranks? I guarantee that I'll have that woman stripped naked and sent to your bed!"
Xiao Wuji said with a cold smile.
"What? Young Master Xiao is planning to deal with Haitong Group and Heilong Capital?"
"I... I'll join Young Master Xiao's ranks right away. Being able to connect with Young Master Xiao is like my ancestors' graves emitting a green light. Young Master Xiao, please rest assured, I will definitely follow you and do a good job!"
Kong Hexuan replied excitedly upon hearing Xiao Wuji's words.
"Mm, you're teachable!"
"This time, Haitong Group and Heilong Capital will be unable to escape my grasp!"
Xiao Wuji said with a cold, sinister smile.
"Haha, seeing our team grow step by step makes me very happy. With Wu Ji's joining, and now Young Master Kong and Young Master Bai, dealing with Haitong Group and Heilong Capital is as easy as flipping our hands!"
"Young Master Kong, you'll embrace the beauty you desire. Young Master Bai, you can deal with that good-for-nothing as you please, and I only want all the land in Qinglong Bay!"
Ji Xueshuang said with a cold laugh.
"Yes, yes!"
Kong Hexuan and Bai Hao agreed simultaneously.
Although they were unwilling, in front of Xiao Wuji, they didn't dare to make a sound.
...
At this time, Lu Yang was driving aimlessly around the streets.
What Lu Yang didn't know was that in a secret base not far away, a man and a woman had reported the situation of Haitong Group and Lu Yang in great detail to King Feihu.
"The Xiao family?"
"Just a worldly family, daring to try and move Haitong Group? They truly overestimate themselves!"
"Don't alert them. Let them do as they please. I also want to see what capabilities they have to shake Haitong Group!"
"Anyone who dares to touch Haitong Group will pay a heavy price!"
King Feihu said with a cold smile as he sat in his chair. xxs1
Haitong Group, though appearing to be just an ordinary company, had powerful figures backing it. In China, Haitong Group's core information, like Lu Yang's identity, was top secret. It wasn't something that anyone could suppress just because they wanted to.
Moreover, Haitong Group was merely the simplest identity for Lu Yang. As for his identity as King Heilong, without authorization from a certain someone, no one had the right to reveal it.
"King Feihu, I understand!"
The man said respectfully into the phone.
"Go. Just protect King Heilong in secret. You don't need to worry about anything else!"
King Feihu said directly.
"Yes!"
After speaking, the call was hung up.
...
Just as Lu Yang was driving around, his phone rang.
Lu Yang took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number. After thinking for a moment, he answered it.
"Mr. Lu, this is Wei Mengyao. Do you remember me?"
Wei Mengyao's voice was sweet.
"Wei Mengyao? Old Wei's granddaughter?"
Lu Yang couldn't help but think.
"Of course I remember. Is there any change in Old Wei's condition?"
Lu Yang asked quickly.
"My grandfather is doing very well. Since receiving your treatment, my grandfather's health has been improving day by day. Thank you!"
Wei Mengyao said with a smile.
"It's good that Old Wei is alright. You don't need to be so polite!"
Lu Yang said directly.
"Mr. Lu, tonight is my birthday, and I'd like to invite you to my birthday banquet. Do you have time?"
Wei Mengyao continued to ask.
"Birthday?"
"Alright, I'll try my best to attend!"
Lu Yang thought about it and agreed.
The information the Wei family had revealed to him was worth billions. Now, it was just attending a small birthday banquet.
"Okay, eight o'clock tonight, Hailan Clubhouse. I'll see you there!"
Hearing Lu Yang agree, Wei Mengyao was very happy. However, the smile on her face wasn't one of pure joy, but rather a slightly smug and cunning one.
"Mm!"
Lu Yang nodded.
By seven o'clock in the evening, the entrance of Hailan Clubhouse was already filled with luxury cars.
Although Wei Mengyao had been low-key this time and hadn't invited many people, those wealthy and influential figures who had caught wind of the event all came to Hailan Clubhouse with gifts.
Even the Tang family sent Tang Zixuan and Tang Ziqi to attend.
"Brother, Miss Wei's birthday banquet is truly luxurious. As expected of the number one influential family in Jiang Province!"
Tang Ziqi said excitedly as she looked at the grand scene.
"Naturally. I heard that Miss Wei is still unmarried. If I can get close to the Wei family, wouldn't our Tang family soar to the heavens in the future?"
Tang Zixuan daydreamed about such a good thing, his heart filled with fantasies.
"Haha, brother, you're thinking too much. What is Miss Wei's status? How could she possibly look at you!"
Tang Ziqi couldn't help but sneer.
"That's not necessarily true. No matter what, your brother is a handsome and talented man..."
However, before Tang Zixuan could finish, a slap landed squarely on his face.
