Chapter 65
The hotel is on the second floor, in a private room.
Paopao was so anxious that sweat broke out on the tip of his nose. Afraid of the Governor's "clairaudience," he didn't dare to speak, nor did he dare to pace anxiously in the box. He could only stand there, urging Anrou with his eyes.
An Rou was thinking.
According to the plan, the goal of this mission was to recruit a group of vagrants to follow clues to the designated location to complete the mission. They didn't need too many vagrants; seven or eight would be enough, but they also couldn't be too few, otherwise Paopao and Wang Da would have trouble sneaking in and stealing the bodies.
The plan has now fallen into an embarrassing situation.
The Lujiao team alone was too small, only three people. Once the fight started, they could only be wiped out like a swarm of idiots. Even if they had three more bodies, without leaving anyone alive, the Wing On Hotel's reputation would hardly be established.
If the Governor's gang was involved, the scale would be too large, more than 30 people. The Governor was also a Golden Wild Guest, and it would be too difficult to deal with just Paopao and Wang Da.
Could it be that he really wants to get rich quickly?
However, this would expose the existence of SS-level ghouls in Zhongxu Town. Attracting more high-level players would make business increasingly difficult.
The light screen scrolled, and Lu Jiao urged Paopao in the team channel again.
An Rou stared at the screen for a few seconds and sighed silently.
Forget it, you can't get rich overnight. The most important thing right now is to find a sustainable business model while keeping the farm out of the loop. Even if this business fails, I have Baofu and Wang Da around, so I can just create a new one later.
Besides, she had a backup plan with Captain Li.
An Rou nodded to Paopao and began typing on the light screen.
Two minutes later, Paopao jumped from the second-floor window and landed lightly on the ground. The three Lujiao people immediately surrounded him.
"How's my brother?"
Paopao glanced at their hopeful eyes, smiled slightly, and turned the light screen to visible mode.
The three of them were overjoyed when they saw the words "70% correlation" behind the task clue.
Balpi slapped his thigh and couldn't help laughing. "Alright, alright, 50% is enough for us to locate the mission. 70%, what's the difference between that and the mission details right in front of us..."
Paopao was startled and hurried to cover his mouth, but it was too late.
His eyes flashed and a figure rushed out of the hotel door and stopped in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Governor.
Paopao secretly exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot to remind them that the Governor has a super-ear!" Balpi laughed so loudly, it would be strange if the Governor couldn't hear him!
Balpi was also startled and blurted out, "Who are you?"
Deer Horn and Lin Thorn pulled him at the same time.
After they were driven out by Ou Li, they saw dozens of players pouring into the restaurant. Although they didn't know what exactly happened, anyone with eyes could tell that there was a conflict between the two sides.
He dares to confront Ou Li head-on on Ou Li's territory, so it can be imagined that he is a tough guy.
Paopao opened his mouth but swallowed his words. Lujiao and the others didn't know this man was the "Governor", so it was strange that a little brother like him suddenly revealed the Governor's identity.
Fortunately, the Governor had no intention of concealing his identity and smiled faintly: "Governor."
"Governor? Then I am still a general...Governor?!" Balpi almost bit his tongue.
Lu Jiao was also startled: "Are you the Governor?"
A few meters away, a guest ran out of the store and asked, "Governor, what's going on?"
The Governor raised his hand, signaling them not to come over.
He smiled and looked at Lu Jiao. Among the four people, Lu Jiao stood in the front, obviously the leader of this small team.
The Governor said, "Have you all found clues to the mission?"
While asking the question, he looked up at the second floor and saw that the window was closed.
He asked so directly that it was hard not to think he was trying to grab a clue.
Having just been harassed by the guild and finally regained his mission, Lu Jiao was no longer willing to give it up. He loosened his clenched teeth and forced a smile. "What clue? I don't understand what the Governor said. We brothers were just stopping here for a meal, but we were kicked out by the Orli Guild without any reason. We are very dissatisfied and want to see the Governor..."
Lin Ci pressed his back and signaled him to stop talking.
Looking at the Governor's half-smile, Lin Ci said calmly, "He has heard it."
Lujiao suddenly looked embarrassed.
Lin Ci continued, "The Governor is well-known and has always been a supporter of the nomads. We are nomads too, and we have finally found a mission. Is the Governor going to steal it?"
"Rob?" The Governor smiled and shook his head. "No, I always give opportunities, never seize them. In front of the Guild, I hope to give Ye Ke a chance. In front of Ye Ke, I hope to give more people a chance. Do you understand?"
Lin Ci frowned: "The more people you are talking about, are they the group of wild guests in the store?"
The governor smiled without saying anything, which was considered as his agreement.
Lu Jiao was so angry that he blurted out, "We were the ones who found the clue. Why should we give others a chance? You're bullying us. How is that any different from the guild?!"
He unconsciously raised his voice, and the guests crowded at the door heard it and asked loudly, "Governor, is this troublemaker causing trouble?"
The Governor waved his hand without turning back and raised his voice: "A few friends, we are late. Do you mind joining us now?"
The visitors said, "Anyone summoned by the Governor is one of us! Besides, we haven't seen the hotel owner yet, and there are no clues, so of course we don't mind!"
The Governor nodded, staring into Lujiao's eyes. "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to give up the clues or give up the mission. It's just that it's not easy for the brothers to make this trip. Why not give them some time?"
-
Ever since Ku Shui broke the first wine bowl, the NPC guests in the tavern were in a hurry to pay the bill and leave. After a while, there were only a dozen or so Oli players left in the store.
The boss and the staff were furious but could not speak out, hiding behind the counter. Unfortunately, their favorability was exposed to the players.
Ku Shui raised his head and drank a bowl of wine, then smashed the bowl to pieces and glared at them: "What? You're not happy about the gang booking the whole place? Are you worried we won't pay?! Brothers, this meal is on me, drink as much as you want!"
As he said this, he scattered a handful of gold coins on the ground, regaining the favorability of the boss and his men.
However, the guild members, especially his subordinates, were not NPCs, and their dignity could not be restored by spending money. The Governor's group of wild visitors had made him lose face.
Herring hesitated for a moment, not daring to persuade him. He knew Ku Shui's temper well; the more he tried to persuade him, the more he would add fuel to the fire. If he wasn't careful, he might lead his men back to the Wing On Hotel, causing more casualties.
Guilds are strictly prohibited from fighting each other, but when it comes to fighting wild guilds, there are no rules to restrain them. As soon as Ku Shui gives the order, all the online members of the town's Ouli will rush over. Who wins or loses is irrelevant; the worst thing is that the leader goes online to hold them accountable.
If drinking to drown your sorrows and showing off your power to NPCs can make big things small and small things disappear, that would be the best.
However, just as the herring made up its mind, it was dashed in the blink of an eye.
A man walked into the tavern and, before he even got close to them, he said with a smile, "I heard there's a bunch of wild guys who are quite courageous and have caused a drought?"
"President Tang."
"President Tang!"
The members of Ouli greeted each other.
Tang Lang waved his hand and walked over to Ku Shui: "What's going on?"
He was a junior to Captain Li, but he enjoyed a close relationship with all of his captains. A prominent player's interest in making friends with him made Ku Shui and the others, even with their status as Ouli, feel a surge of pride. Thus, from the moment Yin Lai arrived in Zhongsu Town, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Seeing that the person coming was Tang Lang, Ku Shui's heart moved: "You know the Governor, right?"
"That famous Golden Wild Guest?" Tang Lang suddenly realized, "No wonder he dared to act so presumptuously on Ouli's territory. Did he bring those people from the restaurant with him?"
"Over thirty people, all of them!" Ku Shui said bitterly. "If I wasn't worried about the minister's punishment, I would have rushed up to fight him long ago! There are thousands of people in this town, and each of them can drown him with a single spit. Why would they be afraid of a piece of gold from him?!"
"Captain Kushui must obey Captain Li's orders. However, how can we just let the wild visitors gather and provoke us? Where will the guild's reputation be in the future?"
Herring sensed something was amiss and quickly said, "President Tang..."
Tang Lang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Minister Li will punish you for speaking out. If it were Yinlai who couldn't bear the humiliation, Captain Ku Shui would bring you here to help Yinlai. If Minister Li wants to blame someone, he can only blame me."
Ku Shui's eyes lit up: "President Tang is willing to come forward in person?"
Tang Lang was a master player, even more powerful than his own captain. If he showed up, coupled with the guild's numerical advantage, winning the game would be a piece of cake.
Is the Golden Wild Guest comparable to a great god? That's just "comparable"!
Besides, he didn't believe the Governor would risk his life for an unrelated idiot. Even if he did, what idiot would risk his life for the Governor? You know, in the Soul-Calling Song, idiots are the most shameless creatures in the sewers and mud!
As Tang Lang nodded, all the members of Ouli stood up.
"Let's go! Let's get our revenge!"
"How dare this rubbish stray kid act so arrogantly in our Ouli territory!"
"President Tang, let the damn Governor see the power of the Great God!"
…
Facing his companions, Herring was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and advised, "President Tang, the Minister strictly forbids us from wasting our Life Points on meaningless things. He will definitely be unhappy if he finds out!"
"A pointless place?" Tang Lang chuckled. "As far as I know, the mayor specifically told us to take care of the business of the Yong'an Restaurant. With so many people eating there now, we couldn't stand it, so we just went to smash the place. How can we say that managing the mayor's relationship is pointless?"
"Yes, smash the store!" Yong'an Hotel was where Ku Shui was humiliated, and he wanted to raze it to the ground immediately. "Call more brothers over, let's smash the store!"
-
Paopao followed Lujiao and the other two, picked a table in the corner, and sat down tremblingly.
The noise quieted down a lot as the nearby visitors cast their gazes over.
Shopkeeper Jin was bewildered by the sudden arrival of so many guests, but he was still very busy and happy. He walked over and was slightly surprised to see that Lu Jiao and Paopao looked familiar.
However, Shopkeeper Jin remembered clearly that Lin Ci and Balpi did not eat at the restaurant.
"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"
Being coerced, Lu Jiao had no mood to eat. Lin Ci was the calmest. "My brother ordered a portion of pickled fish, but it's not here yet. Bring it up."
Before Shopkeeper Jin could respond, a nearby guest spoke up, "Brother, one portion might not be enough! The Governor said the restaurant owner holds the clues to the mission, and whoever brings in the most business will likely get the clue. Look, everyone ordered one portion of pickled fish!"
Lin Ci glanced at the deer horns.
Lu Jiao took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Then four servings of pickled fish, large ones each!"
"Hey!" Shopkeeper Jin responded, extending his hands. "Master Tianmingzhe, we're overwhelmed with customers right now, and we're too busy to handle the situation. Could you please pay the bill first? Four orders of pickled fish, plus the one I left on top, at a 20% discount, for a total of 2,000 gold."
Lujiao's eyelids twitched, and he reluctantly paid. The gold coins fell into the palm of the shopkeeper Jin and disappeared without a trace.
There was no way around it. The Governor was the only one in the shop who knew they had the clue. The Governor was also a strange guy. He didn't just rob them directly, but only asked them to stay in the shop for half an hour. After half an hour, regardless of whether the other guests had the clue or not, they could leave directly.
This is what the Governor calls fairness, what he calls "giving others a chance."
Seeing the scrutiny from the visitors, Lujiao knew someone was already suspicious. After they ordered the pickled fish, the prying eyes gradually shifted away.
Following An Rou's request, the restaurant prepared sufficient ingredients, and the pickled fish was quickly served. The fish was piping hot, the broth golden, and the spicy, fresh aroma didn't whet the appetites of the four people.
In contrast, the other wild guests seemed to be enjoying the food.
"This fish is amazing! I've never tasted anything this delicious in the game!"
"Yeah, it tastes better than any offline restaurant!"
"Aside from being expensive, there's nothing wrong with it! Anyway, even if I don't get the mission, this trip won't be in vain. I'll just consider it a food-hunting trip, haha!"
…
Lin Ci looked at his nose and then at his heart, but he still had an expressionless face.
Balpi hadn't eaten lunch. Looking at the fragrant pickled fish in front of him and listening to the comments from other tables, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Brother Lu?"
"Eat." said Lujiao.
The four of them started eating at the same time. Except for Balpi who was smacking his lips with gusto, the other three felt like chewing wax and just waited for time to pass.
Paopao had already eaten his fill and was now even more distracted, glancing out the window from time to time. He knew Wang Dazang was across from the restaurant, but he didn't know where exactly.
There were so many people in the restaurant, I wonder if the boss noticed them.
An Rou had known about the incident since the Governor went out to stop the people. With Wang Da's keen hearing, she listened to every word of the conversation between them and the Governor.
Describing highway robbery as "giving others a chance" was such a bizarre logic that it opened An Rou's eyes.
This governor always claims to be on the side of the nomads, but when he really encounters other nomads, won't he protect his own people without hesitation?
An Rou even suspected that he was creating a persona as a prelude to establishing a guild after reaching a higher level.
No different from a guild.
After driving out the Ouli Guild, another Yeke Guild appeared. This was a difficult situation. An Rou really wanted to sew up Balpi's leaky mouth. Not only was he not able to control his mouth, but he also kept smacking his food while eating!
Now there were only two options. One, she went downstairs and told Lu Jiao the clue in front of everyone. Two, she trusted the Governor and waited for half an hour.
But both solutions come down to one question: whether the governor's character is trustworthy.
If it was credible, Anrou and Paopao wouldn't have to do anything, just wait until the time was up. Alternatively, Anrou could go down and give Lujiao the clue, without having to worry about other visitors interfering. In other words, both options were fine.
On the contrary, if you don't trust the Governor's character, both methods will be problematic.
An Rou checked her watch. There were still ten minutes left. Since there was no better solution, she could only wait and see.
However, there was another variable in the ten minutes: if she didn't come downstairs, the Governor would definitely come up. Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed the "half-hour" agreement.
Sure enough, after connecting with Wang Da's consciousness again, An Rou immediately heard a question.
"Governor, are you going upstairs?"
The Governor had already reached the stairs. He smiled at the guests and said, "Business downstairs is booming. Of course, we should invite the boss down to take a look."
"Thank you, Governor!"
"Thank you, Governor!"
These visitors were not worried at all that the Governor would use the credit of attracting business to improve the favorability of the hotel owner and then keep the clue for himself.
If you look at it this way, maybe... the Governor's character is somewhat trustworthy?
Footsteps could be heard on the wooden stairs, gradually approaching. An Rou severed her consciousness, put her toes on the ground, and stopped the rocking chair.
She hadn't decided how to respond to the Governor's arrival. The thought of a highly intelligent Golden Wilderness approaching made her feel a little uneasy.
An Rou unconsciously reached for the crotch of her cheongsam at the side of her thigh, then paused. Suddenly remembering that she had given the Seven Souls Sword to Paopao, she pulled a jade bracelet from her collar.
There is a mini light screen on the jade bracelet that is as small as a label.
【Name: Ice Wristband】
[Category: Defensive Weapon - Orange]
[Defense Value: 300 (Passive)]
[Skill: 1/1 Beautiful Freezing, instantly imprisoning the opponent (needs to consume 200 energy points)]
Last night, An Rou decided to lend the Seven Souls Sword to Paopao. She was unsure, so she went to look for a defensive weapon in the pile of unused props. It was also the only weapon that could passively activate defense.
According to Paopao, most passive weapons need to be bound to take effect, and only a very small number can be activated without binding.
An Rou secretly tried it with a kitchen knife. When the knife was a few centimeters from the back of her hand, it felt like it had suddenly hit a piece of iron, shattering the blade. However, the second time she chopped it down, there was no resistance.
In other words, although this ice bracer didn't need to be bound, it could only defend once and had a cooldown period. The weapon's properties didn't specify how long the cooldown period was, so An Rou didn't dare try it out, fearing it wouldn't be useful in a critical moment.
For example, now, if the Governor launched an attack for some reason, An Rou was not sure whether it would work. If it could, could 300 points of defense value allow her to save her life from the Governor?
Unfortunately, she didn't have enough energy to activate the Ice Wristguard's ability. "Instantly imprison the opponent" sounded like a great skill for escaping.
The footsteps were getting closer, and suddenly stopped through a door. The noisy movement faded away, and the surroundings fell into silence.
An Rou held the jade bracelet in her palm, covering it with the back of her hand. Many players possessed perspective cards, and if the Governor discovered that a mere NPC was holding an orange weapon, suspicion would inevitably arise.
An Rou controlled her breathing so as not to be noticed by the other party's sharp ears.
After waiting in silence, there was finally a knock on the door.
But it only rang once.
An Rou frowned and listened carefully to the movements of the diners on the first floor - it was very quiet, the noise had disappeared.
Things have changed again.
A few seconds later, footsteps sounded again, and then faded away in a few seconds. The Governor walked up at a leisurely pace, but he used a movement skill as he left.
An Rou ignored the cold sweat on her palms, her eyes were blank, connecting with Wang Da's consciousness.
The entrance of the restaurant was crowded with people. Many people had already rushed into the store, and many were crowded at the entrance, each holding a weapon in their hands.
Judging from their IDs, they are all players from the Ouli and Yinlai Guilds.
What's going on?
Is that Ku Shui guy so ruthless? He just left and came back with his men to kill us?
Two figures answered An Rou's doubts.
Tang Lang and Ku Shui walked leisurely from the other end of Wangliu Third Street. When they reached the restaurant entrance, the guild players automatically made way for the two to enter.
The guests in the store also stood up and looked through the windows. The crowd was so crowded that they couldn't find the governor, and it also blocked Tang Lang's entry.
However, through Wang Da's ears, An Rou could hear their voices.
Governor: "Yinlai Guild, Mantis?"
Tang Lang: "I didn't expect that the famous Governor-General would recognize me. What an honor."
Governor: "President Tang mobilized the troops to support Captain Ku Shui? He is quite enthusiastic."
The irony in his words was obvious. The Ouli players were naturally backed by Ouli, but Minister Liming An'an didn't show up, and instead, it was the Yinlai Guild President who rushed over with his men.
There are many small guilds in Lengbing City, and Yinlai is just an inconspicuous one among them. Some of the wild guests did not know Tang Lang, and they sneered contemptuously when they heard his words.
"When did the Ouli Zhongsu branch get such a big dog?"
"That's right, he's just biting me. Tsk."
"What country is this guild from? Why are they trying so hard to curry favor with Xiaori Island?"
Fortunately, there were some people who knew the situation and quickly whispered to stop them: "Mantis is a great god, shut up and don't cause trouble for the Governor!"
The wild guest who spoke rudely was horrified at the same time.
Fortunately, Tang Lang didn't take it seriously and smiled faintly, "Your Excellency the Governor is too hypocritical. You've gathered so many strangers, and it's not considered a major military operation. But I just brought some guild brothers out to patrol the streets, and that's considered a major military operation?"
The Governor said coldly, "I don't care about relationships, I only care about reason. The Lengbing City dungeon has been online for nearly twenty years, and I've never heard of a rule that prohibits outsiders from eating in the restaurant! May I ask, is President Tang representing Yinlai or Ouli? If it's Ouli, please ask Dawn and Angle to come in person. If it's Yinlai, huh, before President Tang sets a precedent, he might as well ask the three major guilds of Lengbing City for their consent."
"Hey," Tang Lang's tone was still light, "Governor, there's no need to hold me up so high. Neither I nor Captain Ku Shui said that we can't let outsiders into the restaurant to eat--"
He changed the subject: "I just don't allow you to eat in this restaurant."
"Governor, please don't misunderstand. We're not targeting you or anyone else here. The Yong'an Hotel is a matter concerning the mayor of Zhongsu Town. We're maintaining our relationship with the NPC management. Your Excellency, Governor, you won't try to stop us, will you?"
The Governor frowned: "What do you mean?"
Could it be that the restaurant's poor business is not only due to pricing issues, but also due to the instructions of the mayor of Zhongsu Town?
But apart from Tang Lang's words, looking at Ku Shui's gloomy eyes, it was obvious that he was targeting the person rather than the matter, rather than what Tang Lang said, which was targeting the matter rather than the person.
Ku Shui shouted sternly, "What are you waiting for? Smash it!"
"You dare!" the Governor shouted.
When the wild guests saw that the situation was tense, they all took out their weapons.
For a moment, more than thirty strangers and hundreds of guild players were in a standoff, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air inside and outside the hotel.
-
"Master, Master! Gang Leader Tang has brought people to smash up the store, and he has brought about a hundred people with him!" The butler hurried into the dining room.
Heng Batong's hand trembled, and the soup spoon he was drinking from fell to the ground: "Smash the store? Smash what store!"
How dare the gang members do this on his territory? Tang Lang is quite courageous!
The housekeeper panted and waved his hands: "Yes, it's the Yong'an Hotel. Captain Ku Shui accompanied us..."
Heng Batong was stunned: "Are you going after that gang?"
"Yeah, Xiao Ding said a fight was about to break out, and the customers in the nearby shops all ran away when they saw that things were not going well!"
"Alright! Let's fight!" Heng Batong changed his expression of shock, took the spoon handed to him by the servant, and sipped the chicken soup calmly, "Tang Lang is a good man, very reasonable."
The housekeeper finally calmed down and said, "It's all thanks to the master's good management. What about the public security office?"
Heng Batong nodded. "Just let me know, don't bother. It's just a shabby restaurant, not worth wasting your time on."
You're still looking for helpers and doing business, but your store has been smashed. What a waste of time!
-
After hearing Tang Lang's words, An Rou finally confirmed that the mayor was doing something behind her back.
Fortunately, the Governor was quite tough. Not to mention the other wild guests, his aura alone was enough to intimidate the guild players. Everyone was ready to make a move, but no one dared to actually do it.
An Rou could probably guess what the governor was thinking.
It was just a low-level quest, there was no need for him to offend two guilds. The key was face.
He didn't get any clues, and he didn't gain any face. Taking people away like this would undoubtedly damage his image in Ye Ke's mind.
This boy is quite ambitious. He probably wants to win over the wild guests with his prestige and has plans to set up his own business.
However, An Rou cannot place her hopes on the Governor. Compared with all the guild players in Zhongsu Town, he is weak and will not be able to hold on for long.
An Rou walked out of the private room, shaking her head and lamenting as she walked.
I accidentally got into trouble.
She just wanted to salvage a few bodies and boost the restaurant business. How did a small fight turn into a large-scale gang fight?
So unlucky.
If she had a destiny value, it would definitely be very low. In the words of the players, she is plagued by bad luck.
In the tense atmosphere, the sound of her high heels on the wooden floor was particularly piercing. A graceful figure in white stilettos and a silk cheongsam with a dark pattern of snow velvet appeared at the corner of the stairs, attracting everyone's attention.
An Rou stopped and glanced at the whole place from a high position, revealing a smile: "Wow, it's really lively."
She deliberately ignored Tang Lang, her gaze fixed on Ku Shui's face, and said with a smile, "Didn't Captain Ku Shui say he wanted to rent the place for a rest? Why did he change it to renting the place for a fight?"
Before he finished speaking, according to the old rules, the favorability of all players was lowered at the same time.
Ku Shui was so angry that he didn't care about the slight change in his favorability. He sneered, "Boss An, the brothers have changed their minds. Let's smash the store!"
An Rou remained calm and said, "Smash the store? Was it Captain Li's order?"
Ku Shui was startled and looked at Tang Lang. Tang Lang smiled and winked, indicating that he would bear all the consequences.
Ku Shui was confident: "Yes..."
"No, no, it's not the helmsman's order!" A voice suddenly shouted from outside.
There was a commotion among the guild players blocking the door.
"minister……"
"minister……"
Herring made his way through the crowd and walked in. Behind him stood Captain Li, who had a gloomy face.
Ku Shui opened his mouth, his eyes moved between the two of them, and finally glared at Herring fiercely, believing that he was the one who called the minister over.
Tang Lang remained calm and greeted Captain Li with a smile, but unexpectedly he was scolded by Captain Li for no reason.
"You're fooling around too!"
As the Guild Master and a top player, being scolded in public was somewhat humiliating. Tang Lang pursed his lips, a hint of gloom passing through his eyes.
An Rou placed one hand on the stair railing, and after exerting a little force, her fingers finally relaxed.
Dawn came a little late in the darkness, but it finally arrived at the critical moment.
She frowned and said aggrievedly, "Captain Li, how did I offend you that you want to destroy my shop?"
All the guild players looked towards Captain Li.
"Taking care" of the Yong'an Restaurant's business was an order issued by the Minister himself in the guild chat room late last night. Not only Ouli, but the Yinlai Guild also received the same order. Tang Lang and Ku Shui's raid on the restaurant, while a bit excessive, did not violate the order.
Most importantly, the mayor, Heng Batong, would certainly be happy to see this happen.
But what did Herring’s series of “no”s just now mean?
Captain Li had originally wanted to deal with the conflict with the Governor first, but seeing this, he had no choice but to put it aside. Under the intense gazes of his men, his throat slid.
Going back on one's word is not his style, and it is inconsistent with his consistent philosophy of governing the guild, which is detrimental.
But what could be more important than the future of the guild?
After the online auction ended, he had already made up his mind. He was a little hesitant at this moment, but not too entangled.
Captain Li turned around and looked up at An Rou who was high up on the stairs, and gave his most iconic elegant smile, which was sincere and gentle.
"I didn't explain clearly, and my subordinates misunderstood. Boss An, Ouli and Yinlai's brothers are not here to disrupt the event, they are here to support us and have a meal."
Without waiting for An Rou's response, he glanced at the members behind him and said in an unquestionable tone, "Everyone should get at least one portion of pickled fish, and they should pay for it themselves. The same goes for the Yinlai Guild!"
All the players widened their eyes at the same time, unable to believe their ears.
They were clearly here to disrupt the event, so how did they end up supporting it?
Besides, the boss himself said that from now on no one can go to the Wing On Hotel to spend money!
Ku Shui couldn't help but say: "Minister..."
"Shut up!" Captain Li's expression changed instantly, his face cold. "You, apologize to Boss An!"
