Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Jianghu Teahouse_1

"Young Master, there’s a reply from that side."

"Zhang Qi’s background is unclear, so it’s not wise to make a move yet."

"Lord Long is a very cautious person, but he also said whoever wants to make a move, he won’t stop them."

"But if anything goes wrong, don’t implicate him."

The subordinate answered respectfully.

"A bunch of idiots, Zhang Qi is nothing; the key is Xiao Chen!"

Bai Qing said through gritted teeth.

Unfortunately, he had told Lord Long several times that the key figure was Xiao Chen, but no one took it seriously.

Xiao Chen? A fast-track driver, a son-in-law who entered by marriage?

What threat could he pose?

"Young Master, a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years, you should prioritize healing your wounds first."

At present, the Lin Family, Tang Family, Lord Long, and White Wolf haven’t made any moves yet.

"Let’s not act rashly either, otherwise we will become the target."

The subordinate advised.

Bai Qing sighed and closed his eyes.

There was no other choice, what else could he do?

Actually, there were many who were more anxious than him.

The Lin Family and White Wolf’s forces were the most proactive.

The Tang Family was also restless.

After all, Linhai is developing extremely fast, with groups led by Xinmeng Group growing rapidly in both commerce and industry.

Such a situation is the best opportunity for underground forces to gain benefits.

Yet, the underground forces in Linhai were empty.

Who wouldn’t want to snatch this piece of fat meat?

"Lord Long really knows how to hold his horses; with all this commotion, he still isn’t making a move?"

Lin Chaobei asked with a dark expression on his face.

"Boss, Lord Long is unfathomable and usually doesn’t bother with affairs.

This time is no different.

Apart from his fixed schedule to watch performances at ’Jianghu Teahouse,’ the rest of his time is spent chatting and drinking tea with old friends.

He barely handles any official business."

Liu Zang said, "Otherwise, we might as well make a move. Fat meat is lying right before us; if we don’t eat it, others will!"

"No rush! I arranged a meeting today with several bosses at Jianghu Teahouse to gather information.

After this meeting, we’ll make a decision."

Lin Chaobei was still relatively cautious.

Jianghu Teahouse, such a worldly name.

Yet it was definitely the most upscale teahouse in the province.

It had an ancient charm, just like the teahouses of old.

People joked that this was akin to the "All-Knowing" character in martial arts novels.

If you wanted any information, you could find it here.

And moreover, no one dared to cause trouble.

Jianghu Teahouse didn’t restrict customers.

But if you come in and don’t order something, don’t spend any money, you’ll be blacklisted and you won’t be allowed in anymore.

And everything here was expensive.

Tea, wine, tunes, dishes, and so on.

The minimum per capita consumption was ten thousand.

It really wasn’t a place for ordinary people.

Of course, the most expensive thing was information.

Lin Chaobei arrived at the teahouse but didn’t bring many people with him.

Because the consumption here was frightening.

One additional person meant at least ten thousand more spent.

Though he was wealthy, rich people were stingy too.

They had also invited Lord Long.

There was no reply from his side, so whether he would come or not was uncertain to everyone.

But since issues needed resolving, that’s why everyone had gathered together.

Bai Qing, Lin Chaobei, White Wolf, Tang Ao, and nearly ten other bosses.

A pot of tea finished.

The consumption of this table had already exceeded one hundred thousand.

Bai Qing spoke impatiently, "Since Lord Long isn’t coming, we might as well pay to ask.

Isn’t it said that Jianghu Teahouse knows everything, why wait for Lord Long?"

"That’s true. Lord Long already said he’s not getting involved. Why should we bother ourselves?"

White Wolf agreed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

So, they called over the teahouse’s attendant.

"The question you all want to ask is worth one million!"

The waiter smiled and asked, "Scan the code or pay in cash? Of course, card payments are also acceptable!"

So expensive!

Everyone grimaced, although each of them had over a hundred million in assets, spending a million just for a piece of information really was too costly.

"We’ll scan it and share the cost,"

Bai Qing said.

Even though one million was nothing to him, nobody wanted to be taken advantage of.

"No problem!"

It didn’t take long after the payment was made.

The waiter came back.

"The answer to your question is ready. That Zhang Qi doesn’t have any significant background.

If I must say he has any, he was once the manager of the Tianbin Hotel under Xiao Corporation.

That’s all there is."

The waiter responded.

"Is that it?"

Bai Qing stood up abruptly and said, "Just for this lousy piece of information, you charge one million, are you guys robbers?"

He suddenly grabbed the waiter by the neck, "Call your boss out!"

"You better let go, or it will end badly for you."

The waiter said with a grin.

"Right, it will be very bad indeed for you!"

Bai Qing swung his hand, ready to slap the waiter.

However, before his hand could reach the waiter’s cheek, the hand that was holding the waiter’s neck was already twisted and broken.

"I told you it would be bad,"

The waiter maintained his smile.

But Bai Qing, in unbearable pain, didn’t dare to speak carelessly anymore.

"Bai Qing, is this your first time here? You dare to cause trouble at Jianghu Teahouse?

Even Lord Long has to be obedient here.

Thanks, young man. We’ve got the information we wanted. Let’s go!"

Lin Chaobei stood up, smiled, and walked away.

As long as it was confirmed that Zhang Qi didn’t have a strong background, everything would be much simpler.

He was set on getting his piece of Linhai’s lucrative pie.

Everyone else had left, but Bai Qing stayed, enduring the severe pain as he said to the waiter, "I want to inquire about something else!"

"Ask away!"

The waiter still had the same smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

"That Xiao Chen, does he have any background?"

"One hundred thousand!"

The waiter said with a smile.

"How come it’s cheaper now?"

Bai Qing said with a start.

"Previously, all of you asked together, naturally, it was expensive. Now, it’s just you asking, so of course, it’s cheaper."

The waiter grinned, watched Bai Qing make the payment, and then left.

A moment later, he returned and said, "Xiao Chen has some connections with the Ye Family in Capital City.

He was once engaged to Ye Menghua of the Ye Family.

Later, Ye Menghua called off the engagement citing that the Xiao Family was too poor and inferior.

That’s all there is."

"That’s it?"

Bai Qing asked.

"That’s it, his background is even clearer,"

The waiter replied.

"Thank you!"

This time, Bai Qing was very respectful, his wrist was broken, but his mind was at ease.

He had always felt as if there was a terrifying power behind Xinmeng Group helping them.

Now it seemed like it might all be just a coincidence.

Bai Qing turned around and left.

The waiter watched Bai Qing’s retreating figure, his expression gradually darkening.

He approached the counter and said to a young lady dressed in ancient clothes, "That guy just now, he actually dared to probe the boss’s background.

I really wanted to slaughter him."

"Don’t be rash. The boss had us manage Jianghu Teahouse for the purpose of gathering information,

while also keeping an eye on these characters from the underworld.

Those things aren’t for us to handle."

The young lady smiled and said, "Besides, the boss doesn’t need us to worry about him—he’s like a godlike being."
