Wei Ting said calmly, “Boss Lin, let’s talk. Why are you staring at my people?” This “person” was a little intriguing.
Boss Lin thought that he was referring to the servants. He smiled and said, “Division Leader Guo used to do it himself. Pardon my impudence. I’ll punish myself with a cup.”
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
“Has he arrived?” Wei Ting asked.
Boss Lin smiled and said, “He should be here soon.”
Wei Ting had made the right bet. The person who asked Guo Huan to come was indeed not Boss Lin.
Boss Lin asked in confusion, “Division Leader Guo, your throat…’
Wei Ting said calmly, “A cold.”
Boss Lin smiled. “Ah, I see. You have to take care of yourself.”
Wei Ting stopped talking. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was really burning with revenge.
He was already extremely sure that his grandfather’s death was related to the
White Lotus Society. It was the White Lotus Society who stole his grandfather’s
Commander Seal and fabricated the crime of his grandfather colluding with Northern Yan. It was also the White Lotus Society that sowed discord between his grandfather and Qin Canglan.
He never forgot his vengeance—
As his thoughts surged, a hand gently poked his shoulder and pressed against his back comfortingly.
The flames of hatred gradually calmed down, and he regained his composure.
At this moment, the waiter who had received them just now brought two more men in.
Intuition told Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao that the main character of tonight was here.
“Division Leader Chen!” Boss Lin quickly gave up his seat to the leader. The other person should be his subordinate. Like Su Xiaoxiao, he stood behind the gray-clothed man in the bamboo hat.
The man called Division Leader Chen sat down on the chair.
Su Xiaoxiao began to size him up.
He was also a Division Leader, but he was clearly older than Guo Huan. He should be in his thirties, close to 40.
“Division Leader Guo.” He smiled and cupped his hands at Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao sensed the other party’s desire to please Guo Huan.
Strange, as a Division Leader, could it be that they were also divided into different levels?
Wei Ting was used to pretending and took a sip of tea indifferently. “Division
Leader Chen, how have you been?”
“What’s wrong with your throat?” Division Leader Chen frowned.
Boss Lin quickly explained, “Division Leader Guo caught a cold and will recover in a few days.”
Branch Leader Chen did not guess that it was an imposter for the time being. Firstly, not many people knew how to disguise themselves. Secondly, it was not so easy to impersonate the legitimate son of the Prime Minister.
Boss Lin smiled at the two of them and said, “Since the two Division Masters are here, why don’t we take this opportunity to write off the grudge from last time?”
Did Guo Huan have a grudge with this guy?
Wei Ting snorted calmly. “That’s easy for you to say. Why should we write it
Division Leader Chen was angered by his arrogant and domineering tone, and his eyes turned cold.
Su Xiaoxiao leaned over and gritted her teeth as she poured tea for Wei Ting. “Stop acting.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Boss Lin hurriedly mediated. “Let’s talk nicely! We’re all on the same side! Why be angry over such a small matter?”
Division Leader Chen suppressed his anger and said to Wei Ting, “I overstepped my boundaries by privately going to your territory, but you also killed Guardian He. This matter is even. If you’re still unhappy, I’ll give you another compensation.”
From what he said, Guardian He was his man.
The White Lotus Society had a clear division of labor. Every Division Leader had his own sphere of influence, and the others were not allowed to interfere. Guardian He interfered with something and was killed by Guo Huan.
That jailer was sent by Guo Huan!
What did Guardian He do…
While thinking, Su Xiaoxiao heard Division Leader Chen say to someone outside, “Come in!”
A pink woman with a veil walked in.
She came to Wei Ting and bowed. “Greetings, Branch Master.”
A familiar face appeared in Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting’s eyes.
The two of them paused.
Division Leader Chen smiled meaningfully. “Are you satisfied, Branch Leader
Guo? From now on, she’s your woman. Please accept her.”
Division Leader Chen actually gave a woman who looked 30% like Princess Hui An to Wei Ting… No, to Guo Huan.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.
The woman was very sensible. She walked forward weakly and picked up the teapot on the table to pour tea for Wei Ting, but she accidentally spilled two drops on Wei Ting’s leg.
She quickly took a handkerchief and wiped it.
Wei Ting said coldly, “Get lost!”
The woman’s hand trembled in fear.
Boss Lin was also stunned.
Wei Ting looked at Branch Leader Chen coldly. “Chen, are you courting death?”
Branch Leader Chen finally couldn’t suppress his anger. He sneered and said, “Didn’t you use the Sect Master’s Token to kill Guardian He because he touched that woman? Now, you’re pretending to be noble! You can fool others with your thoughts, but you can’t fool me!”
Su Xiaoxiao understood.
The kidnapping of Princess Hui An was Guardian He’s own idea, but that was Guo Huan’s territory. Guardian He had extended his hand too far and even reached out to someone he shouldn’t have.
Guo Huan had feelings for Princess Hui An. Guardian He should not have known. Otherwise, no matter how bold he was, he would not have made two irreversible mistakes in a row.
Prime Minister Guo knew, which was why he warned Guo Huan not to covet something that did not belong to him.
Wei Ting was not flustered at all. A trace of careless laziness flashed across his eyes. “Have you forgotten the rules of the White Lotus Society? You deserve to die for coming to my base to do things! You know very well if it’s Guardian He’s idea or if you’re anxious to make a contribution to the Sect Master.”
Even Su Xiaoxiao was amazed by Wei Ting’s trickery.
As expected, Division Leader Chen dodged a few times.
In that case, it was not strange for Wei Ting not to accept this Hui An 0.5—if you dug a hole for me to jump into, could I really jump into it?
Boss Lin was in a dilemma. He couldn’t smooth things over or not fight. He was about to die of embarrassment.
Division Leader Chen flew into a rage out of humiliation. “What’s there to be proud of?”
Boss Lin said, “No, we’re here to talk business today…”
Division Leader Chen looked at Wei Ting fiercely. “You know very well how you became the Division Leader!”
Su Xiaoxiao was about to say, “Yo, yo, fight! Fight!”
Wei Ting stabilized himself and continued to ask unhurriedly, “At least I did something big for the Sect Master.”
“Ha!” Branch Leader Chen laughed mockingly. “Are you referring to stealing the Commander’s Seal of the Lord Wu An?”
He stood up and walked up to Wei Ting step by step. He bent down and threatened Wei Ting mockingly, “Does the Sect Master know that you killed his…
“I say, the two of you!” Boss Lin couldn’t stand it anymore. He stood up and scolded, “The Imperial Court is busy wiping out the White Lotus Society, but we’re fighting internally here! Do you think the situation isn’t chaotic enough?!”
Su Xiaoxiao glared at Boss Lin; she was about to hear about Guo Huan killing someone.
Division Leader Chen said in a low voice, “I have something on you, so you’d better not be arrogant in front of me. Whether you accept her or not, Guardian He’s matter is over, understand?”
Wei Ting looked like he was holding onto him and lowered his eyes in silence.
Division Leader Chen returned to his chair in satisfaction.
Boss Lin heaved a sigh of relief and sat down. “Then let’s discuss what plan to carry out next. Branch Masters, do you have any instructions?”
Division Leader Chen, who had suppressed Guo Huan, raised his eyebrows proudly. “The Sect Master is on his way back to the capital. Or perhaps, he has already returned to the capital. You also know that the Sect Master’s whereabouts are very secret.”
The headquarters of the White Lotus Society was in the south.
However, he used the words “return to the capital”.
The Sect Master was from the capital!
