Zhang Juan Juan also gave him a glance and sighed, "When there are no conflicts of interest, the discussions would go well and smooth. But the moment anything remotely related to interests are mentioned, all hell breaks loose and no one recognize their family, relatives, or friends anymore. People say when one gets old, their hearts are kind. Uncle, how can you still like this?"

In the end, she did not drink even a drop of the wine and placed it back on the table. "I lied to Susu by telling her Qi Xiu Yuan was transferred to an even more sophisticated hospital. Now, I have to go see her and tell her even more lies." After that, she then stood up and walked out of the door.

"Don't forget—" Sun Ze Yu reminded her.

"I know."

Zheng Nan Fang was not cultured or successful and being able to stay by Liu Zi Cheng's side while having such a relatively high position was entirely due to the many years of currying favors.

After Liu Zi Cheng's death, Li Shi Qing chose him among a few other high-ranking individuals to replace Liu Zi Cheng as the new leader. Although he was overjoyed at this unexpected news, he was even more angry and annoyed.

First, all the subordinates were not satisfied or accepted the choice. Then even though all the men with the same ranking did not express it clearly, the look in their eyes—more than often—revealed the resentment they held. Since he also wanted to keep some face, he was not willing to speak to them on certain matters. But when he asked Li Shi Qing for guidance, he would always be reprimand. Now, he was facing an even more enormous challenge.

With Li Shi Qing not present, the police having suddenly barged in for an inspection and his plead of mercy and bribery not bearing any desired result either, he watched on at a loss of what to do as all the guests of the Arc d' Triomphe stormed away in bewilderment. He had called some subordinates over, but he doesn't even know what commands to give them. By the time two other leaders—Yang Ze and Guo Jin Long, who held the same ranking as him—arrived and brought more people, the scene had already become too difficult to control.

"You have fucking lost your mind!" Guo Jin Long shouted loudly at Zheng Nan Fang, "So what if you haven't experienced something like this before?! If the police wanted to search, then let them search. At most, we would only suffer a bit of financial losses. What the fuck are you doing calling for so much manpower? Do you think this is a Hong Kong movie?!"

Being reprimanded in front of everyone like that, Zheng Nan Fang was no long able to stay still. Just as he was about to take his subordinate and step forward to attack Guo Jin Long, Yang Ze blocked him. "Okay, that's enough. Do you want the police force to make a mockery of you all by arguing in front of them like this? Calm down a bit. Just send them away and it'll be fine."

Guo Jin Long looked around only to have his vision be shrouded with police officers at every corner. To simply put it, the gang members that were being surrounded slowly became agitated at this predicament. It was impossible to say who instigated them but the members became restless and threatened, emitting an aura of hostility and murderous intent that provoked the officers' expression to be more and more severe. Many of the officers had already pulled out their baton, and in any given moment, anything could occur.

While the gang and officers were deadlocked in the cold and grave atmosphere, a loud 'ding' could be heard from the elevator I heard a bang elevator before the sound of laughter slowly followed.

Wu Qing Hua—those four or five officers, along with Xiao Li and a guy sitting in a wheelchair—emerged from the elevator talking cheerfully and wittily as they walked over. When he noticed the situation in the hall, his voice rose, "Alright, I'll give you some face Dāobā Xiao. If it were not for that whatever Zheng who replaced Liu Zi Cheng being insensible, I wouldn't have gone as far as to get angry." His gaze swept across the crowd of gang members then said with a fearless expression, "Teach them well. We'll head out first."
