The next day, due to a night full of excitement, Fei Hu woke up late. When his phone rang again on the bedside table, he stretched and yawned, glancing at the time—oh my, it was already past ten.
The call was from A-Lian. She said she was with Bald Zhang, and everyone had gathered. She asked where to take them, and Fei Hu quickly told her to bring them to Yueda Business Hotel to wait for him.
By the time Fei Hu rushed to the hotel, Yingzi and Ye Xiaofei had also arrived. The three exchanged brief greetings and discussed a few things before heading directly to the conference room they had reserved on the second floor. As soon as they opened the door, they heard a chorus of "Hello, Boss" from both men and women, all in unison and with great enthusiasm.
This surprised Yingzi and Ye Xiaofei, who looked at Fei Hu in disbelief. When did he become the boss of these people? He had hidden it quite well. Fei Hu introduced Bald Zhang and A-Lian to Yingzi and Ye Xiaofei one by one. After a handshake and some polite exchanges, they all took their seats.
Only then did Fei Hu have a chance to look at the people Bald Zhang and A-Lian had brought. It seemed they had put in some effort; everyone appeared energetic and most were around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. In particular, some of the people A-Lian brought were quite attractive.
"Boss, what exactly is going on? You need to tell A-Lian and me; it's really uncomfortable being kept in the dark," Bald Zhang asked straightforwardly in a loud voice.
Yingzi shook her head at Fei Hu, indicating that this matter couldn't be disclosed. Fei Hu called Bald Zhang and A-Lian aside and said very politely, "You two are my friends, and I'm very happy you could come to support me. However, this matter really can't be discussed right now. I hope you can understand. As for what we will be doing, I'll explain it to you both shortly; it's actually quite simple work that everyone here can handle. The reason for choosing those skilled in martial arts is just in case of emergencies." Fei Hu smiled at A-Lian and Bald Zhang as he spoke.
A-Lian was a smart woman; upon hearing this, she quickly replied, "If you can't say anything, then don't worry about it. Just assign us specific tasks so we can familiarize ourselves with them." Seeing A-Lian say this, Bald Zhang didn't say anything more.
Fei Hu immediately took out paper and pen, writing down everything they were responsible for while explaining it in detail. After listening carefully, A-Lian and Bald Zhang turned around to take their respective teams to arrange and practice.
Seeing that Fei Hu had finished speaking, Yingzi handed him a bottle of water with a smile and said, "Drink some water first; let's study this thoroughly again. If there are no more issues, we need to send out the invitations soon; otherwise, it might be too late to deliver them all."
As soon as Yingzi finished speaking, Ye Xiaofei's phone rang. She answered it saying, "Oh! Third Uncle? The invitations will be sent out shortly; the detailed address will be clearly written on them. Tomorrow when we meet, only those with invitations will be allowed inside; no one without an invitation will be permitted entry—this is something we will consider."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiaofei walked over and nodded at Yingzi saying, "He's already anxious; if we're not careful, he might really cause trouble. What should we do? Also, he mentioned he wants to bring bodyguards—at least four—and they need seats for meals."
Yingzi sighed and said, "Having bodyguards is fine; we can set up a few more tables just in case. But the fact that he is so eager to ask for the address means there must be something wrong here."
Fei Hu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's spend some money and create a diversion. Let him go stir up trouble elsewhere!"
Upon hearing this, Yingzi and Ye Xiaofei leaned in eagerly, and Fei Hu explained the plan in detail. After listening, both of them smiled happily.
That evening, Fei Hu took A-Lian and Bald Zhang to Farmhouse Fun ahead of time to prepare a feast, treating the brothers and sisters who would be working hard tomorrow. During the meal, everyone enjoyed the food but kept their drinking in check, which Bald Zhang and A-Lian managed well. The gathering of dozens of people remained under control, and in the end, Fei Hu formally announced the rules for tomorrow. Everyone listened attentively, with no one voicing any objections.
After settling everyone in for the night, A-Lian and Bald Zhang came to Fei Hu's room, both looking apologetic. Fei Hu smiled and said, "Let's not dwell on it; it's all in the past. In the future, we need to be mindful of these issues when we're together. Alcohol is a good thing; if consumed properly, it's fine. But if overindulged, it becomes poison."
A-Lian chuckled and said, "I'm doing better; I just needed to rest for a day. I later heard that you ended up in the hospital, which scared Brother Guang. He meant well by getting some good wine through a friend for everyone to enjoy, but it turned out to be fake. The first one in the hospital was our leader; Feng Jie also had to lie down for an entire day."
"Don't say any more; if you keep talking, I'll want to find a hole to hide in," Bald Zhang said with an embarrassed expression.
Fei Hu patted Bald Zhang on the shoulder and suddenly asked A-Lian, "Why didn't you bring Xiao Qi and Feng Jie along to help? They are quite capable."
A-Lian shook her head and replied, "You didn't explain clearly over the phone. They tend to talk a lot, and I was worried it might cause delays, so I didn't call them. Xiao Qi even got into a bit of a tiff with me over this."
"Call them now and have them come over. With the three of us plus them two, we'll have five people. You two can pick another five to form a team of ten. If anything happens, this group will be able to handle it," Fei Hu suggested while whispering instructions into Bald Zhang's ear. After listening, Bald Zhang nodded and left.
As the sun rose, casting a golden hue over the land, the Dragon Tiger Gang's Annual Meeting was about to commence. Inside the villa, everything was orderly as vehicles arrived to pick up Ye Cheng without any chaos. Each person inside the villa performed their duties diligently. Yingzi pulled Brother Dong aside and whispered a few words in his ear before heading upstairs. She saw Ye Xiaofei accompanying Sister Wu as they descended the stairs; both were veiled in black silk, making it hard to recognize them at first glance.
Yingzi and Ye Xiaofei nodded at each other as everyone began to get into their cars. Brother Dong had been Ye Cheng's trusted aide for many years; his identity was well-known. Therefore, Ye Cheng's safety today was entrusted to him without any dissent from anyone present. Inside the black BMW were four capable brothers personally selected by Brother Dong. With Brother Dong's assistance, Ye Cheng sat in the middle of the back seat of the BMW, flanked by bodyguards on both sides—this scene rivaled that of government officials.
When Ye Wu arrived at the Lihua Grand Hotel with Little Four and the others, he saw Yingzi standing there with more than ten unfamiliar faces. Ye Wu felt something was off and gently asked Little Four beside him, "Have Abiao's people arrived? Is there going to be any trouble?"
"Brother Tiger, don't worry. Abiao's people are nearby; it should be fine. He found out last night through connections that Ye Xiaofei personally booked sixty tables here and even paid a deposit, so there shouldn't be any changes," Little Four said, blinking his small eyes and speaking softly to Ye Wu.
As he approached Yingzi, Ye Wu forced a smile onto his face and asked, "How many people did you invite? I hardly see anyone here. Did you change the venue again?"
Yingzi smiled lightly and replied, "Brother Tiger, you're overthinking it. It's not that hard to book a place; there's no reason to change it. However, Grandpa is happy today and added a special item for everyone to taste the newly launched Xinyang Maojian. After that, we'll come back here for the main meal and celebration. The car is at the back; please follow me, Brother Tiger."
Ye Wu Yi frowned slightly and said, "What do we need to drink Maojian for? Today is the Annual Meeting; this is ridiculous. We'll drive ourselves; just tell us the exact address."
"I'm sorry, but that place only recognizes our cars. Your car can't get in. Besides, Dragon Tiger has already parked here and taken the first bus over; you're the last one," Yingzi said calmly.
Hearing that Ye Wei had already left, Ye Wu Yi's anger flared up as he shouted at Little Four, "Let's go! Are we waiting to wash cups for them?" With that, they hurriedly left.
Everything went smoothly; everyone arrived at Lihua Hotel and was sent to Farmhouse Fun by bus. They genuinely thought Ye Cheng was treating them to Xinyang Maojian. It wasn't until they entered the Farmhouse Fun courtyard that they sensed something was wrong. At the entrance stood more than ten people wearing masks who demanded everyone hand over their phones and belongings without exception. Seeing everyone comply so readily, even those who were initially reluctant had no choice but to follow suit.
When Ye Wu Yi got off the bus, he realized they had arrived at a farmhouse in the suburbs. He initially intended to show off a bit, but seeing that no one was speaking, he silently followed them through the inspection into the courtyard.
When he was stopped and asked to hand over his phone, Ye Wu felt a surge of anger and shouted at the masked young man in front of him, "I am Brother Tiger of Dragon Tiger Gang!"
"What’s wrong with Brother Tiger? Brother Long handed his over too," the young man replied coldly.
