Chapter 31: A Show of Power
Cheng Yi and Sui Tang's helicopter arrived at the top floor of Baiqing Mansion at 8 o'clock Pingjing time.
Three figures stood on the huge platform.
The rumbling hum gradually stopped.
Cheng Yi got off the helicopter.
A gray suit perfectly wrapped his figure, and even his tie exuded an unapproachable coldness and arrogance.
He slowly walked towards the figure, his steps were unruly and his expression was lazy and casual, but he exuded a powerful kingly pressure from inside out, as if he wanted to crush everyone he passed by.
"Cheng Yi, you made me wait so long."
Bai Yao opened his arms, smiled elegantly, and walked forward.
Cheng Yi looked at the man in front of him with a half-smile, his hands in his pockets, and did not respond to Bai Yao's enthusiasm, "Bai Yao, do we still need to be so close?"
Bai Yao showed no trace of embarrassment on his face and calmly withdrew his hand.
The two people following behind Bai Yao were equally dignified and bowed slightly to Cheng Yi respectfully.
Cheng Yi laughed dumbly when he saw the two of them, and turned his stiff wrist. "Yunqi, Yingfeng, did you intercept my goods smoothly?"
The blue-haired Yunqi was the first to speak with a chuckle, "Master Cheng, you're joking. We two brothers wouldn't dare intercept your goods. We're just following the Master's orders to give you a warning."
The gray-haired Yingfeng raised his head and explained with a smile, "Master Cheng, you are right. Austria is a little weak, and we are just lucky."
Cheng Yi lowered his eyes, and a wild and majestic aura spread out in an instant, and a strong sense of oppression swept over the nerves of Yunqi and Yingfeng.
Yunqi's pupils shrank instantly, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his back.
This man was not someone he could even compare to.
"Who the hell are you two? How dare you talk to me like that?"
Bai Yao raised his hand, seemingly to comfort Cheng Yi, but in fact he was blocking Yun Qi Ying Feng, still smiling gently, "My subordinates are ignorant, please don't ruin our mood."
Sui Tang smiled and nodded at Bai Yao, put his arm around Cheng Yi's shoulder, and walked towards the meeting place in the mansion.
Cheng Yi's identity is very mysterious in East Asia and not many people know about it, but the eldest son of the Sui family and Sui Tang around him are authentic influential figures.
When the two appeared intimately, all the gang leaders in the audience looked at them sideways, and everyone knew what was going on.
Bai Yao also went to the top floor to greet him in person, which was enough to prove the high status of this person.
Some people were eager to step forward and toast, but were forced to retreat by Cheng Yi's imposing manner.
He just happened to be too lazy to deal with this.
All high-end, luxurious gatherings, when stripped of their gorgeous or decadent outer layers, all that remains is: drinking, drinking, and drinking.
Bai Yao sat across from Cheng Yi and said calmly, "Cheng Yi, I have to admit that your men are very loyal and top-notch."
He glanced at Qu Le standing in the hall without revealing any expression.
Cheng Yi took a sip of wine casually, "Thank you for the compliment."
Bai Yao retracted his gaze and continued to ask with a smile, "You're making such a big fuss this time. Are you really planning to break up with me?"
Cheng Yi smiled frivolously, but his words were full of threats, "Bai Yao, is there still any such thing as face between the two of us?"
"You're taking advantage of me in East Asia, and I'm eating up your goods in Austria," Bai Yao said elegantly, pushing his glasses up on his nose. "Isn't this just the way it is?"
Cheng Yi did not accept Bai Yao's conversion, "No matter how much East Asia benefits, I will never get it."
Sui Tang on the side touched his nose uncomfortably. All the benefits that the Baiqing Society gained in East Asia were taken by their Sui family. Although Cheng Yi was the real driving force behind the scenes, on the surface, it was still the work of the Sui family.
He raised his glass, his eyes shifted awkwardly to the side, pretending not to hear.
He can't defeat either Bai Qinghui or Tavia, so let these two bosses fight each other.
Bai Yao remained calm, without any emotional fluctuations.
"After all, you have the European arms market at your disposal, so East Asia might not even be on your radar," Bai Yao sneered. "But you can't just sit back and watch that woman."
A woman can make Cheng Yi come to this Hongmen Banquet. Bai Yao undoubtedly holds the biggest bargaining chip in this game.
"Bai Yao," Cheng Yi's tone was a little gloomy, but his eyes remained indifferent, no emotion could be seen, "Over the past two years, your methods have become increasingly despicable."
"That's wrong," Bai Yao took a sip of wine and shook his head slightly. "If you remove the fuel from under the cauldron, the fire will cool down."
Cheng Yi raised his cold and proud eyes, looked at the ceiling, and said calmly: "I don't like nonsense. Tell me, what are the conditions?"
Bai Yao smiled gently, put down the wine glass, placed two fingers on the cup holder, and slowly pushed the glass towards Cheng Yi.
"Return the data and I'll let you go."
Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Bai Yao with a puzzled look, "Where's the goods?"
"It all depends on your ability."
Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sneer appeared on his thin lips. "It all depends on your ability, so you want to start a war?"
"That's not the case. I'm just giving Mr. Cheng a heads up."
Bai Yao smiled casually, leaned his strong back lazily on the sofa, and tilted the wine in the glass towards Cheng Yi.
"Your woman is safe for now, but if another half hour passes, I can't guarantee it."
"Do you want a woman or goods? Please think twice, Mr. Cheng."
This naked threat hung in the air, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
Even Yun Qiyingfeng, who was following behind Bai Yao, couldn't help but feel frightened.
“Hahahahahaha——”
Cheng Yi suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed in the venue, attracting everyone's attention.
After suppressing his smile, his golden-brown eagle eyes stared at Bai Yao coldly.
"Of course I am."
Cheng Yi slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table. Tiny cracks gradually appeared from the rim of the glass, making a hissing sound.
Most of the wine in the cup spilled out, staining Cheng Yi's big hands covered with tattoos, wild and arrogant.
"Both."
Two words, arrogance to the extreme.
Two men, one with a gentle and charming smile, the other with a cold and arrogant face.
The aura formed between their gazes seemed to freeze the air.
The gang bosses around them, who also dominated their own areas, began to breathe cautiously.
I was afraid that I would break this volatile balance because of myself.
“Beep beep.”
Qu Le was leaning against the wine table, staring boredly at Cheng Yi, Sui Tang and his group in the distance.
A familiar sound came from the earring, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She raised her hand and knocked it.
Luo Chuan's voice came from the communicator: "Le Le, the No. 2 locator is on."
Qu Le's smile widened a little, and his fox eyes narrowed beautifully, "Not bad, worthy of being the woman my brother likes."
Luo Chuan returned the favor with a warm smile and said, "It's located in Pingjing Port."
Qu Le was puzzled. "But Qi Huang and Ling Shuo are in Pingjing Port, and they haven't sent me any messages."
