Chapter 394: Chapter 392: Her Decision is My Decision_1
Upon hearing his words, the old Su Patriarch burst into hearty laughter, "So you mean you knew about it before?"
Mu Yingchen also started chuckling, having known of the old heads’ rivalry in the past, he was aware of some tales...
"I’ve heard the old man mention some..."
The old Su Patriarch raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Then why don’t you tell me what Mu Zetian said about my Qinglong Association..."
Mu Yingchen laughed helplessly, "Do you really want to know?"
"Of course," the old Su Patriarch had an expression that urged him to speak.
Mu Yingchen nodded, pondered for a moment, and began speaking slowly looking at the old Su Patriarch opposite him, "About twenty years ago in C City, the Qinglong Association had...an underground market, casinos, intelligence networks, and also..." He paused at this point...
The old Su Patriarch’s eyebrows lifted as he looked at him, "And what else?"
"Mercenary organizations..."
The eyes of the old Su Patriarch suddenly narrowed slightly, shocked that that old fox Mu Zetian had managed to uncover so much about him! Truly worthy of being his nemesis!
Thinking this, he laughed boisterously, "That’s just like my rival, Su Qinglong, a cunning old fox indeed!"
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Mu Yingchen’s mouth... The two old heads have been rivals for so many years, of course, they would thoroughly dig into each other’s affairs. Otherwise, how could they fight? What would they even fight with?
Doesn’t the saying go, ’Know thyself, know thy enemy, and you shall never be defeated in a hundred battles’?
"Yingchen, we’ll talk about Qinglong Association’s matters another time... You’ve probably heard about Yaoyao’s situation from Wanxia. Do you agree with it?" The matter of entrusting the Qinglong Association to Yaoyao was something he had been considering for a long time. Although he had discussed it with Wanxia, Mu Yingchen was the child’s father; his opinion should be sought.
Mu Yingchen’s lips subtly curled, "Her decision is my decision..."
After hearing Mu Yingchen’s words, the old Su Patriarch immediately felt relieved. Mu Yingchen was a man to be admired! His granddaughter marrying him, that put his mind at ease!
He had his people come over this time, ostensibly to attend the wedding, but in reality, to introduce them to Mu Yingchen.
After all, Yaoyao was still young; he couldn’t take over the Qinglong Association for another ten or eight years. Only by having Mu Yingchen, Su Ran, and Su Yun take charge together could they stabilize everyone’s hearts.

In the afternoon, Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia left, while Yaoyao and Shanshan stayed behind to keep the old Su Patriarch company.
Meanwhile, Su Ran took several people to meet up at the agreed location—
The meeting place was one of C City’s larger entertainment clubs—
Under the guidance of a receptionist, Su Ran led his people through the booming hall and towards the VIP area’s private rooms...
When the door was pushed open, smoke was swirling inside...
The people inside panicked when they saw him arrive, quickly snuffing out their cigarettes and greeting him with smiles...
"Brother Ran... You’re here, please come in... Please come in..." A rugged man in his thirties gestured obsequiously, inviting Su Ran inside.
Su Ran took in the sight of everyone standing neatly in line and allowed a small smile, "No need for formalities... Please sit..."
"Thank you, Brother Ran..." Everyone thanked him in unison, and only after they saw him sit down did they dare to perch on the edge of the sofa.
"Brother Ran, please..." Poison Snake pulled out a cigar and passed it to Su Ran.
Su Ran casually reached out to take it, and someone immediately came forward to light it. He didn’t refuse, allowing the person to ignite the cigar...
"Brother Ran... I don’t know if the matter I mentioned this morning is possible? You see, could you allow me the honor of meeting Old Qing ("Chief Qing") in person?" Poison Snake’s face was full of obsequious smiles.
Although he reigned supreme in C City, he was well aware that in the shadows, many were plotting against him. If he couldn’t find a strong backer, it could be just a matter of time before he was dethroned.
Su Ran smiled lightly, "It’s possible..."
Poison Snake’s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement.
"However, the rules of the Qinglong Association are strict. Since we’re going, we must not cause any trouble. Otherwise, we’ll all suffer the consequences..."
"Don’t worry... I guarantee I’ll follow your arrangements..."
Su Ran exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke...
"Mm... There will be many people going this time. No matter whom you meet, keep your composure, even in the face of personal grudges..." Su Ran’s warning was weighty.
The guest list for Wanxia and Mu Yingchen’s wedding was extensive, and there was no telling how many old enemies one might encounter at the feast!
Nevertheless, since they were going, they had to abide by the Qinglong Association’s rules. If anyone acted impulsively and couldn’t keep their cool, Su Ran could only say: you bear the consequences!
"Yes! Yes! Thank you for the reminder, Brother Ran. I’ll keep it closely in mind. The invitation..."
"I’ll send someone with the invitation in a couple of days..."
"Brother Ran... You are the most righteous brother I’ve ever met. I toast to you!"

When it was time to pack up and leave work at four o’clock, Jian Manhui was about to do just that. But a female colleague celebrating her birthday strong-armed her into joining them at an entertainment club for karaoke!
Having no choice, she sent a message to Su Ran, telling him she was celebrating a colleague’s birthday and would go home by herself that evening, so he didn’t need to pick her up.
But she waited and waited, and he didn’t reply at all!
She couldn’t help feeling irritated, telling herself that he must be busy and hadn’t seen the message yet, but she was still tempted to call him... to ensure he wouldn’t go to the company to pick her up in case he missed her message. What if he had already gone there?
"I’m going out to take a call; you guys carry on..." She excused herself to her colleagues and left the private room. She found a quiet spot in the hallway, scrolled to Su Ran’s number, hesitated for a moment, then clenched her teeth and dialed...
But the phone rang once and still, there was no answer...
Her irritation grew. No reply to her message, no answer to her call...
Feeling powerless, she leaned against the wall and let out a deep sigh. She glanced at the number displayed on her phone screen, but ultimately, she didn’t have the courage to call a second time...
She sighed, locked the screen, and put the phone back in her pocket...
Looking up at the ornate crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, she couldn’t help mocking herself inwardly, Jian Manhui, oh Jian Manhui... when have you ever cared so much for a man!
Her heart constantly hung on a man’s sleeve – was this really her?
In the end, she was just an ordinary person, unable to escape the torturous shackles of love!
Feeling a bit dazed, she felt lifeless, lacking any spirit even in such an uplifting place. She really was quite unwell!
In a trance, she arrived at the door of the private room and pushed it open without looking--
But the moment she took two steps inside, she sensed that the atmosphere was off!
With a jolt, she came to her senses, and then she looked up--
But as she took in the scene before her, it was as if she heard--the sound of a heart breaking...
