Zhu Meng grabbed his brother’s collar and pressed him against the wall. He roared, “You smashed glasses with me for a woman?”

Zhu Wen broke free from his grip and panted. “Brother, I’m not doing this for Shi Man. I just think you’re being too rash. Although the Shi family is not on the same side as us, they’re still the richest family. It’s easy for them to hire a few skilled mercenaries.”

Zhu Meng was furious. He kicked over the chair beside him and placed his hands on his hips. “What do you know? Today, our people smashed the Shi family’s place, and a few dogs immediately came out to chase and bite them. Those people were not afraid even when they were chased to the black market. They must be from the underworld!”

Zhu Wen’s eyelids tightened. He took a deep breath and said, “Then it’s also possible that they arranged for someone in advance to prevent the Wang family from regretting and attacking first.”

“Wake up!” Zhu Meng couldn’t take it anymore and roared, “Wasn’t it enough that you made a fool of yourself in school last time? If I didn’t stop you, you would only be played by Shi Man if you approached her again! The Shi family and the Yi family are in cahoots!”

Zhu Wen felt humiliated and subconsciously clenched his fists by his side. “Brother, but the Shi family doesn’t have any power in the underworld. Could the Yi family have sent that group of people today?”

Seeing that his brother had taken his words to heart, Zhu Meng’s expression softened. “We still have to investigate this matter. We don’t have many people in the black market. We can ask Hellgate to help with the investigation. We paid a lot of money last time when something happened to them. They shouldn’t even think about standing by and watching.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the desk suddenly rang urgently.

Zhu Meng picked up the phone with a puzzled expression. In an instant, he was shaken by the angry roar from the other end and took the receiver away.

After the other party was done venting, Zhu Meng asked impatiently, “What happened?”

The leader of the Hellgate, Jun Mo, said aggressively, “I was tricked by the people of Blood Oath! Our people saw Immaculate in the black market today!”

Zhu Meng immediately turned pale with fright. “What did you say?”

In the dining room, the wind chime sounded as the door was pushed open from the outside.

The waiter warmly welcomed the new customers and invited them to an empty table at the end. Then, he enthusiastically recommended some dishes to them. Unexpectedly, the two girls’ eyes were fixed on the couple eating at the next table.

The waiter stopped introducing the dishes and asked in shock, “Miss, do you know each other? If you know each other, you can share a table!”

The loud voice attracted the attention of the couple next door. Two cold gazes shot over, making the waiter shiver. He hurriedly shut his mouth and did not dare to speak.

The two girls who had entered together were still staring at the man at the next table. Their eyes were filled with shock. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The waitress stood quietly at the side and sized them up. Suddenly, a strange thought appeared from the bottom of her heart.

Could the girl at this table be the ex-girlfriend of the handsome man next door?

What kind of melodramatic scene was it to meet his ex-girlfriend while eating with his current girlfriend?

But he loved to watch!

The waiter quietly retreated a distance to ensure that he would not get into trouble. He also wanted to take the opportunity to watch the commotion.

Unexpectedly, just as he was filled with anticipation, the girl who had just entered moved her lips. After holding it in for a long time, she finally said “Brother”, immediately disappointing him!

So it was actually a pair of siblings?

The waiter lost interest. Just as he was about to approach and wait for the customer to order, the handsome man at the next table suddenly frowned and said in a low and pleasant voice, “I’m not your brother.”

“Huh? Is there a twist?” The waiter pulled his foot back and continued to eavesdrop.

The girl’s face turned pale when she was publicly rejected by him. However, before she could say anything, the girl who came in with her couldn’t sit still anymore. She said with an unaccustomed attitude, “What? You’re actually not Yi Zheng’s sister?”

“I’m not,” the girl explained nervously. “No, I mean, I’m not lying to you!”

She looked at the man and woman at the next table for help, but the two of them clearly didn’t want to help her and let her shrink in the corner alone.

Seeing that the girl who came with her was about to leave, she hurriedly grabbed her arm, bit her thin lips, and walked to the man’s side. “Brother, don’t be angry with me. What happened to Chen Min last time really had nothing to do with me.”

Yi Zheng couldn’t even be bothered to look up. His attitude was cold and distant. “You and I have nothing to do with each other.”

The girl’s face turned even paler. Her body swayed as if she was about to fall soon, and her voice was filled with tears. “Brother, help me. Please, I’m willing to do anything you want me to!”

Shi Man was annoyed. She wiped her mouth and looked up. She said word by word, “Miss Song, you’re affecting our meal.”

Song Zhi’s resentful gaze landed on Shi Man, but before she could behave atrociously, she was stunned by Yi Zheng’s cold eyes. She hurriedly came back to her senses and continued to beg softly, “Brother, can you not acknowledge me? The two of us grew up together.. I’ve already called you Brother for more than twenty years!”
