To surprise his master, he didn't go for a run at Cuihu Lake today, but instead drove to find You Hongfei.

I learned from yesterday's phone call that the shop has been renovated and the business license will be available in the next couple of days, so it can officially open for business soon.

When Wang Bin arrived at the shop, he found it to be luxuriously decorated, and You Hongfei was interviewing new employees. He had already hired two female waitresses in the past two days, and he planned to hire six.

When You Hongfei saw Wang Bin coming over, he quickly stopped what he was doing and came over, but Wang Bin told him to go ahead and do his own thing while he wandered around.

After You Hongfei finished his work, Wang Bin chatted with him for a while before going to find Li Xingping.

Li Xingping's place is also finished with renovations, and all sorts of processing machines will be delivered in the next couple of days. Now everything is ready except for the final push.

After arriving at the workshop, Wang Bin chatted with Xiao Kai for a while. In the past few days, Xiao Kai had been collecting information on the movements of the police, the Li family, and the Black Tiger Gang. After some investigation, he learned that Black Tiger had escaped and that the police and the Li family were now looking for him.

"Wang Bin, do you have a grudge against the Black Tiger Gang?"

"Yes, after I beat up Young Master Li last time, he went to the Black Tiger Gang and asked them to beat me up, but unfortunately I fought back."

“Someone like Young Master Li wouldn’t personally hire an assassin. I suspect the assassin came through Black Tiger Qing. Now that you’ve defeated one person and killed another, I reckon Black Tiger ran away because he was afraid of your retaliation and the Li family pursuing him!”

"If that's the case, it's really troublesome. It would be better if the police found Black Tiger, since they can't find evidence against us and therefore can't convict us. The problem is that the Li family found us first. Once things are exposed, the Li family won't care about the evidence; they'll just send people to kill me."

“That’s right, so the most important thing now is to find Black Tiger’s whereabouts first! I have some connections, I’ll contact them now and see if we can find Black Tiger.”

"Okay, I'll transfer you 5 million first. If it's not enough, just let me know!"

“Okay!” Xiao Kai knew that finding Black Tiger would require spending some money, so he didn’t refuse Wang Bin’s money. He figured he could just return the rest to Wang Bin after spending what he had.

"By the way, you should also tell Hongfei and Xingping to be careful during this time. I'm afraid the Li family will find Black Tiger first, which will implicate you!"

"I have no problem with that, but I'm worried about Hongfei and Xingping. How about this, I'll find some more veterans to protect Hongfei and Xingping?"

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. Come to my house with me later, and I'll give you some weapons for self-defense!"

"Um!"

After discussing it for a while, Wang Bin and Xiao Kai went to find Li Xingping. They talked for a bit, and Wang Bin felt that with the gold and jewelry in the system space, it would be difficult for the three of them to finish the job in a short time. He suggested that each master craftsman take on three apprentices, but the apprentices had to sign long-term contracts, otherwise they might leave after learning the craft. However, he offered very high wages, so he estimated that the apprentices wouldn't leave after they completed their training.

After having lunch with everyone, Wang Bin drove Xiao Kai to the villa, where he took out weapons for Xiao Kai to choose from.

Xiao Kai estimated that six bodyguards would be enough to protect You Hongfei and Li Xingping, and he didn't need rifles and submachine guns because they were inconvenient to carry.

Wang Bin was a little worried when he saw that Xiao Kai only had six pistols, so he took out six hand grenades and gave them to Xiao Kai.

It was inconvenient for Xiao Kai to hail a taxi while carrying so many guns, so Wang Bin gave him his car. Xiao Kai was surprised that Wang Bin was so generous in letting him drive, and his goodwill towards Wang Bin increased greatly.

“It’s inconvenient for you not to have a car. I’ll have Li Xingping go with you to buy one tomorrow.”

"Oh, you're assigning me a car?"

"Yes, you'll need a car a lot in the future, so I suggest you choose a sturdy one!"

"no problem."

With everything arranged, Wang Bin began practicing the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) at home.

At four o'clock, Wang Bin's phone alarm rang. He opened his eyes, changed into clean clothes, and took the calligraphy and painting by Zheng Banqiao out the door.

Today is Master Li Zhengguo's 70th birthday. The time is 5 pm, and the location is Cuihu Villa North Garden, which is not far away. Wang Bin can just walk there.

Soon Wang Bin arrived at the address given by Li Zhengguo, but when he got there, he saw many luxury cars parked at the entrance, and the entrance was also full of people who came to give gifts.

There were many people greeting people at the entrance, including the important figure who frequently appeared on the city television station.

Upon seeing this important figure here, Wang Bin frowned. Could it be that his master was also an important person?

"Never mind all that, let's go check it out first!"

Wang Bin nervously walked to the back of the crowd, joined the queue, and slowly went forward to register.

Standing at the back, he became even more nervous when he heard that the people who came to give gifts were either wealthy people or important military and political figures.

Many people left without even seeing the old man after giving their gifts, while some of the higher-ranking people went in to wish him a happy birthday and then left. It seemed that the Li family did not intend to entertain everyone with a meal, but even so, no one was unhappy. Instead, they left with smiles on their faces.

Soon it was Wang Bin's turn. Wang Bin handed the calligraphy and painting in his hand to a young man who was in charge of receiving gifts.

After accepting the gift, the man smiled and asked, "May I ask your name? Who are you delivering this gift for?"

Hearing the other person's words, Wang Bin was taken aback. It turned out that the other person thought he was there to deliver a gift for someone else. That was understandable; he was only in his early twenties, and most people would never imagine that he knew the old man.

"My surname is Wang, and I am here on my own behalf to deliver a gift to my master!"

"Master? You said you're my grandfather's disciple?"

"Yes, I am Master's disciple!"

"I've never heard of that before!"

"Third brother, what happened?"

Seeing that they hadn't moved for a while, a young man in military uniform walked over.

"Brother, he said he's Grandpa's apprentice. Did you know about this?"

"I know, you're Wang Bin?"

"Yes, I am Wang Bin!"

"Grandpa said you're very talented. Come on, I'll take you to see Grandpa!"

The officer's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Wang Bin. After saying that, he put his arm around Wang Bin's shoulder and quickly walked into the house.

Wang Bin was a little uncomfortable with the other person's warm embrace on his shoulder, but as a guest, he couldn't say much since he was on the other person's turf. Besides, the other person was his master's grandson, so he had no choice but to follow him into the villa.

“My name is Li Mingyang, and I am the eldest grandson of the Li family. You can call me Big Brother from now on. The man at the door is your third brother, named Li Mingren. I also have a second sister who is currently at work and will arrive later.”

On the way, Li Mingyang warmly introduced his family members to him in a simple way. When the people around saw that Li Mingyang was so enthusiastic to this unfamiliar young man, they all cast curious glances at him.
