861 Iâm Here to Deal with This
Lin Yi waved his hand and pushed Wu Jinsong away. âDonât block the way ahead. Iâm still waiting to go in for dinner.â
The latter watched as Lin Yi and Liu Wenchang left.
The hotel lobby was extremely quiet. They were so frightened that they could not speak.
Who was this person?
How dare he speak to Fifth Masterâs son in such a tone?
Moreover, this was Fifth Masterâs territory. Was he tired of living?
The two of them walked to the elevator, and the people who had been waiting for the elevator made way for them while keeping a meter away from them.
They were afraid that Wu Jinsong would misunderstand and assume that they had a relationship with the duo.
âArenât you guys taking the elevator?â Liu Wenchang probed.
âIâm not, Iâm not. You guys go first. Weâll wait for the next lift.â
Liu Wenchangâs heart raced as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He followed Lin Yi into the elevator in a panic.
However, the moment he entered, Liu Wenchang was like mud. He gripped the elevator railing tightly, his forehead covered in cold sweat. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWeâre taking the elevator, not bungee jumping. Why are you so nervous?â Lin Yi asked.
âBoss Lin, weâre finished. Fifth Master already knows that weâve taken away the project in the new economic zone.â
âIsnât that great? We wonât have to waste our breath. Besides, didnât we come here today to deal with this matter?â
âItâs mainly because we canât handle it. There are so many people here. Just their spit alone can drown the two of us. If I had known this would happen, I wouldnât have come.â
âItâs over.â Lin Yi said.
âYou can hide from him, but you canât hide from him forever. Even if you donât come to meet him, he would eventually come to you.â
âMost importantly, you just scolded Wu Jinsong. This makes things even more unpleasant.â
âDonât worry. Just follow me boldly. I guarantee that youâll get out of here alive.â
Liu Wenchang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
He was really unlucky.
The elevator quickly went to the third floor. After the door opened, it revealed the banquet hall.
Lin Yi looked ahead. The banquet hall was huge, measuring at least a thousand square meters, and it was dazzling.
The people who came to attend the birthday banquet were all in formal attire. Their every move was elegant.
The elevator door opened and Lin Yi and Liu Wenchang walked out.
The people attending the banquet subconsciously looked at the two of them.
Some of them didnât think much of it and continued to do their own things.
This was because they did not know that Liu Wenchang had snatched Fifth Masterâs project.
However, there were still some big shots present who had heard about this long ago.
Initially, they thought that the people from Chaoyang Group would not dare to come here. It turned out that they were bold enough to really come.
âPresident Lin, those people all looked at us. They probably already know about this,â Liu Wenchang said carefully and nervously.
âIf they know, so be it.â Lin Yi said indifferently.
âAt dinner just now with Wu Zhaoyou, I drank too much and didnât eat much food. After a few trips to the bathroom, my stomach is empty now.â
Liu Wenchang even wanted to die.
Now was not the time to focus on eating.
Lin Yi looked around and walked towards a corner.
There were not many people there. It was just right to eat there.
Because the banquet was self-service, Lin Yi didnât stand on ceremony. He took a lot of food and went to a corner to eat.
âIs that Wu Tianfu here yet?â Lin Yi said as he ate.
âHeâs todayâs protagonist. He would not come here so early. Weâll probably have to wait for a while,â Liu Wenchang said softly.
âThen letâs wait a little longer. If we donât have enough to eat, we wonât have enough strength.â
âMr. Lin?â
Just as Lin Yi was eating, he heard someone call his name.
She looked up and saw a woman in a red evening gown.
The woman had a good-looking oval face. She was tall and had exquisite makeup. Among the people attending the banquet, she was considered amongst the most outstanding.
Lin Yi looked at the woman in front of him and felt that she looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered who she was.
She seemed to be Ning Yueâs boyfriendâs sister.
They had eaten together the last time he came to Yangcheng.
She seemed to be called Qu Bing. That should be her name.
âWhat a coincidence, youâre here too,â Lin Yi replied.
âMy friend brought me here today. Itâs a good opportunity to broaden my horizons.â Qu Bing smiled and said.
âWith Mr. Linâs wealth, you should have received an official invitation, right?â
âNot really. I snuck in to freeload.â
...
Qu Bing smiled awkwardly. âWith your wealth, you still want to freeload?â
Did he have to be so low-key?
âBingbing, what are you doing here?â
Just as the two of them were talking, a woman in a white low-cut tuxedo walked up to Qu Bing in a panic and pulled her away from Lin Yi.
Her name was Feng Peipei, and she was Qu Bingâs best friend.
She was the one who brought Qu Bing to todayâs birthday banquet.
âWhatâs wrong, Peipei? I met a friend. Iâm here to chat with him. Why are you so flustered?â
âGet away from them, or youâll get into trouble.â
âHuh? What trouble?â
âHavenât you heard? They snatched the project that Fifth Master took a fancy to. Donât you think this matter is serious?â
Qu Bing was stunned. This news surprised her.
...
Clearly, she, who was born and raised in Yangcheng, immediately realized the seriousness of this matter.
Although Lin Yi was also born and raised in Yangcheng, he was very poor in the past and hadnât reached the upper class, so he didnât know Wu Tianfu as well as Qu Bing.
âAre you sure?â
âOf course Iâm sure,â Feng Peipei said nervously.
âI heard that Fifth Master was very angry when he found out about this. In any case, stay away from them. Donât provoke them. When the time comes, your Qu family will also be implicated.â
Qu Bing frowned, her expression conflicted.
âBut weâre not just friends. My brother and his sister are in a relationship and we can be considered relatives. I canât leave at this time.â
âIâm fine.â Lin Yi said.
âIf youâre afraid, leave first. This is our private matter. Itâs not good if we implicate you.â
âLook at what youâre saying. What would happen if I left?â Qu Bing said.
âThis should be a misunderstanding. When the time comes, you can explain it to Fifth Master and return the project to him. It wonât be a big problem.â
âWhy would we give him the project we got?â
âWell â¦â
Qu Bing paused for a moment. âMr. Lin, I know you have a lot of power in Zhonghai, but Wu Tianfuâs reputation in Yangcheng is really not something ordinary people can compare to. Even if something happens, there will be people to protect him. As the saying goes, a strong dragon canât suppress a local snake. Thereâs no need to compete over this project. Otherwise, your business here will struggle to develop.â
âI know. Thatâs why Iâm here today. Iâm getting ready to deal with this matter. Otherwise, why would anyone come all the way here?â
