Those in the martial arts world know that the Southern Capital Dragon Gang now has a solid iron triangle: Lao Niu's straightforwardness, Mo Huan's composure, and Fan Gui's meticulousness.

Besides the Iron Triangle, there is also the mysterious Ling family in Beijing.

Therefore, even though Lin Dong completely let loose and was out partying during this period, the Southern Capital Dragon Gang was still able to remain stable and live a very comfortable life.

Lin Dong's return to Nandu did not attract much attention, and the banquet held to welcome him was not grand.

The restaurant was chosen by Fan Gui, the same one he and Lin Dong used to frequent: Qiang Ge Reservoir Fish Restaurant.

The group of friends, having been separated for a long time, naturally had to drink. They didn't eat much of the fresh and delicious fish prepared in four ways, but they did manage to drink more than half a case of Maotai liquor.

Ling Qianyi, who was accompanying the drinks, also drank quite a bit, and in the end, he was also quite drunk.

Especially the old ox sitting next to him, who, relying on his stronger physique, kept challenging him to drinking contests and clinking glasses.

Given Ling Qianyi's status and position, he rarely drank alcohol at normal dinner parties.

But attending Lin Dong's dinner party is different; you have to drink until you're drunk. As long as Boss Lin raises his glass, no one dares to offend him.

Everyone ate and drank their fill, and didn't leave until after 9 p.m.

With no home to return to, Boss Lin naturally took advantage of his drunkenness to wander among the flowers and seek out fragrance.

......

As the city lights began to dim, the private rooms at Nandu Yupinxuan were filled with the aroma of tea.

Lin Dong stroked the celadon teacup, squinting as he admired the graceful turn of the cheongsam-clad woman's wrist across from him.

Yu Ziyun gently poured the third cup of tea into the crackled glass in front of her. Her charming face was as pink as a peach blossom about to bloom.

Suddenly, a light rain began to fall outside the window.

Tonight at the Queen's house, they fought three rounds of battle until late into the night.

A wandering swordsman and a lovelorn woman, their long-awaited reunion was like a pile of dry wood soaked in gasoline meeting a raging fire.

It ignites instantly...

Afterwards, Lin Dong was puzzled that the languid Yu Ziyun actually suggested that the two of them go out for tea.

She knew of a newly opened teahouse with a nice ambiance, good tea, and good water.

The tea for tonight was brought by Yu Ziyun herself, and the water was premium spring water specially transported from Wufeng by the tea house owner...

"The original Da Hong Pao tea tree from Wuyi Mountain only yields six ounces this year."

Yu Ziyun pushed the teacup over, and the jade bracelet struck the ebony tea tray, making a clear, ticking sound.

"Ling Xiaoxiao from the capital brought this over two months ago. She instructed that this tea must be saved and reserved for your return."

The rising steam blurred the small beauty mark at the corner of the woman's right eye.

Lin Dong stared intently, involuntarily recalling the joys and sorrows, the passionate encounters he had shared with this woman a few months ago...

Now, with her right hand, adorned with a jade bracelet, she has set out the tea set and is gently pressing down on his left hand, which is resting on the table.

This hand is so warm.

"簰! 珰! 珰..."

Outside the quiet teahouse, the twelve chimes of an old-fashioned pendulum clock rang out.

...............................................

At 3 a.m. in the northern part of Nandu, the entrances to nightclubs and late-night food stalls were still packed with people.

JJ Karaoke, located on Guangning Middle Road, was bustling with business as it had just closed.

Wearing a black turtleneck sweater, Ren Feifei had just finished her work and walked out of the Tianyu Building, looking somewhat tired.

Several luxury cars were parked in the parking lot in front of the gate. When Ren Feifei appeared, two men in black standing on both sides of the gate quickly came to greet her.

"Sister Fei, aren't you wearing a coat?" one of the muscular men in black asked with concern.

"Oh, I was in such a hurry that I forgot it in the office..." Ren Feifei tightened her collar.

The rain had just stopped, and it was indeed a bit chilly.

"Sister Fei, should I go up and help you get it down?" the muscular man asked.

"No need, it's alright, I don't live far away anyway... Afu, Xiaoqiu, take me home first."

Ren Feifei waved her hand and led the way towards the black Tiger Head car she rode in every day.

This car was a special gift from Lin Dong to her before he left.

Afu and Xiaoqiu were naturally Lin Dong's dedicated bodyguards and drivers.

"Afu? Xiaoqiu? What are you two standing there for? Open the car door!"

Ren Feifei, wearing red high heels, walked to the back door of the Mercedes-Benz. Usually at this time, the shrewd Afu would open the car door for her immediately.

The well-behaved Xiao Qiu would usually climb into the driver's seat a few minutes in advance and start the car engine.

What's gotten into these two tonight? They're still standing there like idiots behind her.

"Sister Fei, tonight... I don't need to drive, hehe..." Xiao Qiu chuckled awkwardly.

"Xiao Qiu, aren't you going to drive? Are you going to let A Fu drive?" Ren Feifei was amused.

“It’s not me driving, Sister Fei. There’s someone else driving tonight.” Afu forced a mysterious smile.
