"Rumei, come over here," Lin Shuang beckoned.
Lin Rumei quickly brought Jiang Chen and Ding Yan to her father's side. The three of them sat down, and Lin Shuang scrutinized Jiang Chen. He had heard his daughter mention Jiang Chen before and knew he was a martial arts expert. However, upon seeing him in person, Lin Shuang was somewhat surprised; Jiang Chen did not look much like a martial arts master. Although he had his doubts, Lin Shuang still trusted his daughter's judgment.
"Mr. Jiang, I've heard Rumei speak of you. Today, seeing you in person, you truly have an extraordinary presence," Lin Shuang said politely.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly without responding. Instead, his gaze scanned the room before finally settling on the tea table in the center.
At that table sat an elderly man and a robust middle-aged man covered in tattoos.
"Mr. Jiang, that elderly gentleman is Elder Liang, and the one beside him is Sang Ming," Lin Rumei whispered quickly.
Sang Ming noticed Jiang Chen looking at him but paid no mind; he hardly regarded a young man as a threat.
"Is everyone here? Then let's get down to business. I gathered everyone here today because I believe we all know why we're here. Some among us are starting to think about going straight. Of course, wanting to go straight is your own right, and I can't fault you for that. But if your desire to go straight means we all lose out on profits, then that's not right."
"I think there's no need for such people to hold onto their territory; it would be better to divide it up," Sang Ming said with a forced smile, casting a glance at Lin Shuang.
"Sang Ming, if you have something to say, just say it directly. No need for beating around the bush," Lin Shuang retorted coldly.
"Haha, since you insist, I'll be straightforward then. Lin Lao Da, I've heard you're starting a major cleanup on your territory, enforcing rules even stricter than the police. This is quite against the code of our line of work. If you can't manage your own territory, then I'll take over for you. Of course, I'll pay you an annual fee as compensation for taking over," Sang Ming sneered.
"My territory is not yours to manage, Sang Ming. Let me make this clear: as long as I'm here, you'll never get your hands on my territory. We currently have an understanding—let's not cross each other's paths too much; otherwise, it will end badly for both of us," Lin Shuang said in a low voice.
"End badly? Haha, you really overestimate yourself. Don't forget who I have by my side," Sang Ming replied smugly.
"Sang Ming, don't get too cocky. Just because you've got Elder Liang backing you doesn't mean we're afraid of you. If you can invite Elder Liang, we can invite others too. I forgot to introduce him—this is Mr. Jiang, a top martial arts expert." Seeing Sang Ming's arrogance infuriated Lin Rumei; she raised her voice indignantly.
At her words, all eyes turned to "Mr. Jiang," including Elder Liang's, who lifted his eyelids slightly and showed some interest in this martial arts expert.
However, upon seeing Jiang Chen's appearance again, Elder Liang lowered his eyelids once more, appearing disinterested.
Sang Ming did not hide his mocking smile at all.
"Miss Lin, what did you say? Did I hear that right? This kid is a top martial arts expert? Hahaha," Sang Ming laughed boisterously.
"Sang Ming, to be honest, even Elder Liang might not be a match for Mr. Jiang. You'd better show some respect; otherwise, you won't know how you'll end up," Lin Rumei said with a frown and a serious tone.
