If Wei Qinghe knew that the man in front of him was Xiao Yun, he would surely be scared out of his wits. Unfortunately, Xiao Yun had changed his appearance and was mistaken for Long San, someone he deemed useful.
"Brother Wei, do you know me?" Xiao Yun asked calmly, his gaze flickering as he looked at Wei Qinghe.
Although Xiao Yun couldn't figure out how this Wei Qinghe had transformed into the Vice Hall Master of Jizhu Hall in the Island Nation, he was well aware that this seemingly refined and somewhat noble middle-aged man was actually cunning and ruthless, harboring a lot of malice.
In Huaxia, this guy would have wished to tear Han Ziqi to pieces. If it weren't for the incident involving the Shadow Empire, he certainly wouldn't have let her off easily.
Upon hearing Xiao Yun's question, Wei Qinghe chuckled and said, "I've long heard of Mr. Long's great name. You might not believe it, but the inn you are staying at is run by Boss Lady Tofu Beauty, who is one of my people from Jizhu Hall!"
Wait, what? Tofu Beauty is one of Wei Qinghe's people?
When Xiao Yun first met Tofu Beauty, he sensed she was a woman with hidden depths. In terms of skills, she could rival An Yiran.
Xiao Yun had always wondered why this woman settled for a small inn; he never expected her to be affiliated with Jizhu Hall.
This implies that Wei Qinghe had a specific purpose for placing Tofu Beauty in that inn.
After hearing Wei Qinghe's words, Xiao Yun chuckled and said, "It seems this is quite a coincidence; I didn't expect Tofu Xishi to be one of yours!"
Wei Qinghe replied, "Yes, not only is she from Jizhu Hall, but she is also my sworn sister!"
"By the way, although Tofu Beauty is my sworn sister, our relationship is absolutely pure!" Wei Qinghe stated with a hint of implication.
As for the nature of the relationship between Tofu Xishi and Wei Qinghe, Master Xiao couldn't care less. What concerned him was how Wei Qinghe managed to escape to the Island Nation and become the Vice Hall Master of Jizhu Hall in such a short time.
Also, was Han Ziqi by his side?
Xiao Yun could see that Wei Qinghe seemed intent on getting closer to him. What was his purpose in doing so?
"Brother Wei, how long have you been in the Island Nation since coming from Huaxia?" Xiao Yun asked.
As soon as he posed the question, he noticed Wei Qinghe's eyes flicker several times and his expression shift from sunny to gloomy. "Well, to be honest with Dragon Brother, I've been in the Island Nation for less than half a month. How about this: let's set up a time to chat properly another day. By the way, let me introduce you to two friends; they are my capable subordinates within Jizhu Hall!"
Wei Qinghe pulled Xiao Yun to a booth and sat down. When Xiao Yun looked at the two people, he couldn't help but be taken aback—
He recognized both of them: one was Hong Qichang from the Galactic District's Flying Tiger Gang; the other was Flower Cloth, the son-in-law of Lu Jiutang.
After Lu Jiutang's death, Flower Cloth had joined Hong Qichang, which Xiao Yun was aware of, but what puzzled him was how these two ended up in the Island Nation and were now mingling with Wei Qinghe.
Birds of a feather flock together; these three were indeed a nest of snakes and rats, likely drawn together by their shared interests.
"Long San, this is Hong Qichang, who was once the leader of the Flying Tiger Gang in Huaxia Galaxy District. He has decent skills, but unfortunately, due to his involvement with Blood Curse Gate, he fled to the Island Nation and came under my wing!"
Wei Qinghe first introduced Hong Qichang to Xiao Yun and then pointed at Flower Cloth, saying, "This man’s surname is Hua and his given name is Bu. He was once the esteemed son-in-law of Lu Jiutang from the Galactic District's Wolf Gang. Since he has a good relationship with Hong Qichang, he followed him here to the Island Nation!"
After hearing Wei Qinghe's introduction, Xiao Yun glanced at Hong Qichang and Flower Cloth with disdain and merely nodded slightly.
These two were beneath his notice; he could see that Hong Qichang and Flower Cloth were just two dogs in front of Wei Qinghe.
Faced with Xiao Yun's arrogant demeanor, Hong Qichang and Flower Cloth were clearly displeased. However, since Xiao Yun was someone Wei Qinghe wanted to befriend, they could only suppress their discomfort and put on smiles. They clasped their fists towards Xiao Yun in greeting and said in unison, "It is truly an honor to meet Mr. Longsan!"
"No need to be polite!"
Xiao Yun replied lightly and turned to Wei Qinghe, saying, "Wei Ge, I need to use the restroom for a moment; let's talk another day!"
It was a joke—while six bottles of liquor wouldn't get Xiao Yun drunk, even water would be too much for him to handle!
Moreover, there were a group of beautiful women waiting for him in the booth; he couldn't afford to delay too long here. As for why Wei Qinghe was so eager to win him over, he would figure that out later.
After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Wei Qinghe nodded understandingly. He asked for his phone number and said, "Go ahead; I won't disturb you."
Wei Qinghe seemed to remember something and added, "Oh right, I suspect that the Drunken Dragon Gang won't let this go easily. If they do anything harmful to you, please let me know; I'll take care of it for you!"
"Got it, thanks Wei Ge!"
Xiao Yun acknowledged and was about to turn away when Wei Qinghe stopped him again. "Long San, this bar is one of my properties in Sapporo. All your expenses here today are on the house. Later I’ll inform the front desk that whenever you bring friends here in the future, it will all be free!"
"Wei Ge, this... isn't it too much?" Xiao Yun pretended to feel embarrassed.
Mud Horse, I didn't expect that this Chrysanthemum Scent Bar was opened by Wei Qinghe. Since you gave me a free meal, I will bring more people here to spend in the future.
For someone like Wei Qinghe, Xiao Yun naturally wouldn't hold back.
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Wei Qinghe laughed heartily and said, "Long San, today we met by fate. You and I are brothers; there's no need to be polite. From now on, just come here to eat and drink for free!"
Xiao Yun cupped his hands and smiled, "Alright, since Wei Ge says so, I won't be polite in the future!" With that, he turned and left.
Watching Xiao Yun's departing figure, Wei Qinghe nodded, a meaningful smile quickly flashing in his eyes.
"Wei Ge, is this Long San reliable? Is he really worth us trying to win over?" Hong Qichang asked.
Wei Qinghe confidently replied, "I have a keen eye for people. The moment I met him today, I could tell that this Long San is definitely not an ordinary person; he is someone we can utilize."
"You may not know this, but the Paradise Beauty Club is not a place that just any Huaxia People can enter. The treatment there is exceptionally high. In the past, several Huaxia People tried to get in but failed. Yet this Long San managed to break in. You should know that the two beautiful bodyguards inside the Paradise Beauty Club are not ordinary people; Long San took one down with a single move!"
"Moreover, this Long San has already infiltrated the operations department. I am certain that the mysterious woman hidden in the Paradise Beauty Club has been secretly observing his every move..."
At this point, two phrases jumped into Wei Qinghe's mind:
— The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
