Chapter 251: Chapter 251: It’s Too Late for You to Cry Now
When Zhou Weimin stepped out,
everyone in the banquet hall stood up.
As a bigwig of the Shangjing Military Department,
his words and actions could influence so much.
Several people, dressed in civilian clothes but bearing the mark of soldiers, quickly stepped forward
and whispered something to Zhou Weimin.
Then they turned and left the yard, disappearing without a trace.
They didn’t even stay for the birthday feast.
"See that? Those guys just now are big shots from the military, generals who defend our territories. They’ve come all this way just to catch a glimpse of the old squad leader; that’s what social etiquette is all about."
Liu Ruitian narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice to speak to his brother and nephew.
"Wow, the birthday star must be really capable, but why didn’t they stay longer?"
Liu Ruiyun asked with a look of anticipation.
It was an honor for him to be part of such a birthday celebration.
"The old man is known for his integrity and is extremely upright and steadfast, hating nothing more than nepotism. To avoid any suspicion and prevent people from pointing fingers, he couldn’t stay long, but since they personally showed up, it also means they haven’t forgotten where they started from; that’s the principle."
Liu Ruitian said with a smile.
No matter the industry, there are so many nuances to understand.
Ordinary outsiders can’t comprehend these principles.
"So Liu Mo, when it’s time to present your gift later, make sure you perform well. If you gain his favor, you’ll be on the rise."
"Uncle, don’t worry, my parrot won’t let you down."
Liu Mo said, rubbing his hands together excitedly.
It was only after Zhou Weimin had taken his seat that everyone else sat down.
But at that moment, Liu Mo’s eyes caught sight of Lin Fan entering through the side door once again.
Having washed his face, he was stepping into the venue.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing here again?"
Liu Mo glared at Lin Fan angrily.
Having been taken away by Zhou Yizheng earlier, he thought Lin Fan had been dealt with.
He didn’t expect him to come back.
"Are you brainless?"
Lin Fan looked at Liu Mo with a bitter smile: "Today is a birthday celebration, is there a problem with me coming to congratulate? Don’t you know, I’ve been a soldier."
"So just because you’ve been a soldier, you think you can behave however you want, huh?"
Liu Mo knew that soldiers often have a complex:
They recognize their comrades-in-arms.
No wonder Zhou Yizheng didn’t finish off this troublemaker earlier.
"What are you, a mere soldier ruffian, compared to Mr. Zhou? You’re nothing. He has tens of thousands of soldiers like you under his command, and yet you dare to cause trouble here!"
Liu Ruiyun said disdainfully.
"You’re wrong about that. I’m not a soldier he can command."
Lin Fan said with a faint smile, starting to walk forward.
But he was directly blocked by Liu Mo.
"You think you won’t die if you don’t brag, huh? Do you know who Mr. Zhou is? You dare to be so shameless here; I can’t stand seeing someone like you. Do you think sneaking into the birthday celebration will change the outcome? I’m telling you, no way."
Liu Mo, with his hands on his hips, looked at Lin Fan disdainfully.
"I know who he is, but you don’t know what kind of soldier I am."
Lin Fan said coldly, "A good dog doesn’t block the path; get out of my way. I’m here to wish the old squad leader a happy birthday. I don’t want to start a fight today, so don’t provoke me."
"I’m provoking you; what are you going to do about it?"
Liu Mo, convinced Lin Fan wouldn’t dare to fight, was particularly arrogant: "Coming to drink birthday wine, and you come empty-handed; is this how you congratulate someone?"
"I came empty-handed, but I’m planning to take something back with me later."
Lin Fan said, arms crossed, watching Liu Mo with amusement.
Some people just can’t help but court disaster.
This guy was simply asking for it.
"By the way, I heard you took the favorite bird of the old man from the west side of the city. You’re not planning to use that parrot as a birthday gift, are you? Stealing someone’s beloved and then doing a good deed, aren’t you afraid of offending the spirits?"
"You’re talking bullshit... I bought it!"
Lin Fan’s knowledge of the matter took Liu Mo by surprise.
Liu Mo quickly retorted loudly, his neck stiff with indignation.
"Right, right, right, you did buy it, because if you didn’t pay five bucks, you were going to jeopardize the seller’s son’s job, his daughter-in-law’s work, and even his grandchild’s schooling, weren’t you?"
Lin Fan squinted his eyes.
This guy was truly despicable.
"Don’t spout nonsense here... I paid a fortune for it..."
Feeling the disapproving gaze of his uncle, Liu Mo would absolutely not admit to this affair.
After all, he’d already gambled away that million to cover his own debts.
"Fine, fine, a fortune, a fortune, but I advise you, you’d better not send it; otherwise, you might suffer a loss you can’t afford."
Lin Fan said with a mysterious smile.
He already clearly understood the reason behind it all.
It’s just that this guy had no idea what was going to happen.
"Quit that act, you’re just afraid my gift will win Mr. Zhou’s approval and ruin your good deal!"
Liu Mo curled his lip.
He naturally didn’t take Lin Fan’s words seriously.
In his view, the mynah bird would definitely please Zhou Weimin.
But just as he was preparing to shame this disheveled Lin Fan even more,
someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
"Don’t fucking touch me!"
Liu Mo, without turning his head, just shrugged his shoulders.
His performance had just begun.
He wouldn’t allow anyone to interrupt.
"Liu Mo... Liu Mo..."
Just as he was preparing to continue lecturing Lin Fan,
his uncle and father behind him were quietly calling his name.
Only, the tone of their voices was very strange.
It was as if they were very frightened.
"What’s the matter?"
Liu Mo turned around curiously.
But to his surprise, he found a group of people standing behind him.
At the forefront was Zhou Weimin, the birthday star of the day.
He was scowling, staring straight at Liu Mo.
That look was so intense, it wasn’t clear if he was angry or livid.
Regardless, his piercing gaze was frightening.
"Mr. Zhou... Happy Birthday!"
Liu Mo almost stumbled and fell to the ground in fright.
He never would have expected that he’d actually insulted the birthday man.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Weimin said with a cold face.
He had just seen Lin Fan cornered.
Zhou Yizheng had already investigated the purpose of these three men.
Knowing the full story, Zhou Weimin took matters into his own hands.
After all, Lin Fan was his lifesaver.
How could he let him be humiliated?
"Mr. Zhou... I... I found someone sneaking into the birthday banquet trying to cause trouble, so I stopped this guy."
Liu Mo, pale-faced, pointed at Lin Fan.
He tried to use this excuse to muddle through.
At the same time, he was also seeking credit.
"Indeed, someone snuck into the birthday banquet."
Zhou Weimin looked at Lin Fan, who wore a slight smile.
His gaze once again fell on the three men from the Liu family.
"However, he is a distinguished guest of mine, Zhou Weimin, personally invited by my people..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mo felt a wave of dizziness.
He couldn’t believe this was true.
As for Liu Ruitian and Liu Ruiyun behind him, they were frozen in place.
Staring straight at the somewhat disheveled Lin Fan.
This time, they had kicked an iron plate.
