Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although Third Master Wu's private courtyard in Hangzhou looked inconspicuous from the outside, it was a completely different world inside. He had invited a professional Fengshui master and a designer to build it together. The cost of the whole courtyard was over one hundred million yuan. Many of the raw materials were imported from abroad or rosewood and yellow rosewood from Southeast Asia, not to mention the various collections that Third Master Wu had accumulated over the years.
In the middle of the courtyard was the main hall, which was filled with all kinds of rosewood and yellow rosewood furniture. It was similar to the Zhongyi Hall in ancient times. There was only a huge rosewood chair on the highest seat, which was carved with complicated patterns. It was made by a craftsman in the province.
On both sides of the main hall, there were two rows of small rosewood chairs, separated by a wooden tea table in the middle. There were ten seats in total, which looked magnificent. However, it had not been used for many years.
Since the situation in the province had been settled, Third Master Wu had almost never stayed in Hangzhou. He spent most of his time on Mount Putuo, living a peaceful life. Sometimes he would go to Mogan Mountain to relax. Even if he returned to Hangzhou occasionally, he never lived here. Instead, he lived by the West Lake, which had a more beautiful scenery.
However, after Third Master Wu returned to Hangzhou this time, he chose to live here again. It seemed that he was also sending a message to the outside world. If he could not reconcile with the old monk, he must fight with him and settle all the grievances of the past years.
Today, the main hall of the courtyard was full of people. The courtyard, which had been deserted for many years, suddenly became so lively, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, before Third Master Wu came back, other things had been arranged. Therefore, they were not so flustered.
At this moment, Third Master Wu sat on the main seat with a cold face. On his left sat the senior members of these years, and on his right sat his several adopted sons who were now in Hangzhou. Chu Sikong stood beside Third Master Wu and stared at everyone with vicious eyes. It seemed that he would definitely know who dared to play tricks and be shrewd at a glance.
Suddenly, Third Master Wu pounded the table and said, "Have you been living too comfortably these years? Just a little bit of trouble. Look at you guys in such a sorry state. I really don't know how you guys got to where you are in the past. You can't even handle such a small matter. I really don't know what the point of keeping you guys? "
A senior statesman stepped forward to ease the atmosphere. "Third Master, you can't blame them. The old monk was too sudden this time, and he was a little overbearing. That's why everyone was flustered. But now we've stabilized the situation. Don't worry."
"Old Han, don't pretend to be a good guy. Do you think I don't know what they're thinking? During my stay in Shanghai, I am neither blind nor deaf. Even if I don't ask about it, it doesn't mean that I don't know about it. Also, those who are not here today, all of you are hiding your strength. Are you all afraid of consuming your own resources? "Third Master Wu was polite at the beginning. But in the end, he pounded the table fiercely and said.
This time, Luo Changgong stood up in a hurry and said, "Foster Father, we definitely didn't have such an idea. It's just that things happened so suddenly that we didn't have a complete plan. We didn't know what to do at the moment. We could only wait for you to come back and take charge of the overall situation."
"Take charge of the overall situation? When your interests are involved, you are more anxious than anyone else." Third Master Wu did not give Luo Changgong any face and directly refuted him.
Qin Sheng had met another foster son, who was the most powerful one in Hangzhou now. Qin Sheng had met him in a private club by the West Lake. Now, he was in charge of the most famous nightclub in Hangzhou. At that time, Luo Changgong had introduced Qin Sheng to him. However, he did not take Qin Sheng seriously at all. After chatting with Boss Hu for a while, he left directly. Yang Deng's comment at that time was that he was very pretentious.
His name was Zhao Xi. He liked to wear suits at any time of the year, whether it was winter or summer.
For little girls, he looked like a domineering CEO. However, for people who were familiar with him, such as Luo Changgong, he was too pretentious.
Zhao Xi knew how to judge the time and size up the situation. He said immediately, "Foster Father, no matter what happened in the past, now that you're back, we'll do as you say."
Third Master Wu said disapprovingly, "Well, now you know what to do. What about before?" Third Master Wu said disapprovingly. This time, Zhao Xi disappointed him the most. Don't think that I will really take what you said seriously.
Zhao Xi did not dare to say anything at once. Everyone could see that his foster father was really angry this time. It would be fine as long as he did not get himself into trouble. Otherwise, he would be punished later.
Since no one said anything, Third Master Wu continued to say, "Fine. You've grown up. Don't forget how you got where you are today. I'll take back what I've given you. From now on, if anyone dares to do this again, I'll make you suffer."
Everyone expressed that they would listen to Third Master Wu's command and go all out to deal with the Old Monk.
After Third Master Wu finished talking about this matter, he checked the time and said, "Sikong, have you arranged everything? It's almost time for us to set off."
"I've arranged everything. I just don't know whether the Old Monk will give me face or not." Chu Sikong said respectfully. Tonight, Third Master Wu held a banquet in Meijiawu and took the initiative to invite the Old Monk to drink and chat merrily. Frankly speaking, Third Master Wu wanted to settle this matter face-to-face. Meanwhile, he also showed the Old Monk their attitude. "This is the last chance. It's not that we are afraid of you. It's just that we don't want to make a big fuss. Everything can be settled peacefully in the end. There's no need to make such a big fuss. If you don't intend to stop, don't blame us for getting serious.
Third Master Wu sneered and said, "If he doesn't give me face, don't blame me for being rude. We're all Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers. Let's see who is more capable."
Chu Sikong said quietly, "Well, there has been no movement from the Old Monk's side so far. I'm afraid it's difficult."
Third Master Wu waved his hand and said, "It's his business whether he comes or not. It's my business whether I go or not. We'll do our best. Even if we really fall out with each other at that time, we won't let outsiders say anything bad about us."
"Well, I understand," Chu Sikong said thoughtfully.
At this time, Third Master Wu looked down at Luo Changgong and asked, "Changgong, how's the investigation going? Was Qu Huanxi injured by us?"
Luo Changgong said in a hurry, "Foster Father, I've investigated this matter thoroughly. It's definitely not us who injured him. We didn't hear such a big fuss at all. It must be the Old Monk who made trouble on purpose."
"Then I know." Third Master Wu said quietly, "What's wrong with the Old Monk? This time, he was really tortured badly. Don't push him too hard. If he is pushed too hard, he will not care about what happened in Shanghai and will fight with the Old Monk to death."
It was almost time. Third Master Wu stood up slowly and said, "Yang Deng and Changgong will accompany me to the banquet. The rest of you should follow the plan we made today. Keep an eye on other places in the province. If anyone makes any mistakes again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Everyone nodded and then stood up to see Third Master Wu off. When Zhao Xi left, he did not forget to look at Luo Changgong a few more times. Luo Changgong was very popular among his Foster Father now. He did not know why his Foster Father suddenly favored him so much.
At that time, his biggest threat was his eldest brother, Wu Yongchuan. After all, the relationship between the Wu family and his adoptive father was not comparable to that of anyone present. However, Wu Yongchuan brought about his own destruction and eventually became a useless man. Since then, his status had soared. He had thought that he had a great chance of succeeding in the future. Unexpectedly, Luo Changgong had appeared, which made him feel a sense of crisis again.
Zhao Xi could not help thinking about how to get rid of Luo Changgong, the threat.
Qin Sheng had also been here before. At that time, Cao Da had invited a group of leaders and friends to a banquet here. Today, Third Master Wu had also booked a place here. However, it was already 8 o 'clock, but the old monk still did not show up. He did not even make a phone call to Qin Sheng.
"Foster Father, there is still no movement over there. Should we wait?" Luo Changgong was somewhat impatient. The Old Monk had gone too far this time. He did not show any respect to him at all.
Third Master Wu said coldly, "No need to wait. Let's eat by ourselves. The food here is not bad. I haven't been here for several years."
Hearing that, Luo Changgong let out a long sigh of relief. He immediately asked the waiter to serve the dishes. However, everyone could see that his Foster Father was in a bad mood.
Third Master Wu muttered to himself, "Old Monk, Qu Fuye, you really did not let me down. Interesting, interesting. This time, I will fight with you seriously."
Third Master Wu had made up his mind. He had never been ignored like this before. This time, the Old Monk had challenged his bottom line. In this case, he would really fight with him.
He could put aside the matter of going back to Shanghai. However, he could not let go of the alliance with the Yan Family, the Xue Family, and the Gu Family just like that. Maybe he would need the help of these families in the future. Consequently, he still had to keep an eye on things in Shanghai.
"Sikong, how are things in Shanghai these days?" After coming back, Third Master Wu did not care about what was going on in Shanghai. After all, there were a lot of things for him to deal with in Hangzhou. In particular, when he met some tycoons, he wanted to figure out why the Old Monk was so confident. Moreover, he had been waiting for them to look for him. However, it did not occur to him that there was no news after he came back for several days.
Chu Sikong said, "The Xue Family and the Gu Family both sent people to Shanghai. However, there was no news. Almost all of them stayed in the hospital. The Yan Family also did the same. Now that Second Uncle Yan has woken up, the Yan Family is more peaceful. However, in the evening, I heard that a man came from Beijing at the same time. He contacted the three families at the same time. His identity should not be simple. "
"From Beijing?" Third Master Wu frowned slightly and said, "Did he contact us?"
Chu Sikong shook his head directly and said, "No."
Third Master Wu intuitively felt that something was wrong. He said subconsciously, "It should be the big shots behind these families who showed up. It seems that we are a little too anxious to leave Shanghai."
Chu Sikong frowned and asked, "Is it because they have a problem with us? That's why they did not contact us?"
Third Master Wu was lost in thought and did not say anything until the end. The worst result might be like this. However, Third Master Wu had no time to care about this.
After dinner, Third Master Wu was in a bad mood on his way back to the courtyard. It seemed that everything recently did not go as he wished. He had not felt this way for many years. Third Master Wu's state of mind began to be a little messy.
When he was about to arrive at the gate of the courtyard, Third Master Wu received a call from Wu Yongchuan's old mother. She said that she was going to perform a religious rite for Wu Yongchuan and hoped that he could spare some time to go to Haining to attend it. Meanwhile, she also wanted to talk to him about something.
Third Master Wu was entangled with all kinds of trifles now. Originally, he wanted to refuse directly. He really did not have time to go to Haining. However, after all, this call was from this old sister-in-law. Moreover, he owed the help of the Wu Family. Although Wu Yongchuan betrayed him in the end, it was a different matter.
Third Master Wu hesitated for a long time and finally nodded and agreed. Haining was relatively close to Haining. It would take him at most one day to go back and forth.
On the other side, after Wu Yongchuan, who was sitting beside his old mother, heard Third Master Wu's affirmative answer, he was so excited that he was somewhat at a loss.
