Lin Jue nodded, then he looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, I think we should first investigate Zhao Hai's background before making a decision. If we really deal with Viper Three, then we'll have offended Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai's background is really extraordinary, then our Lin Family will be out of luck."
Everyone nodded. Lin Jue said in a deep voice, "Although our Lin Family is a large family in Aurora City, Aurora City is only so big. There's really nothing much to say about being the overlord of Aurora City. We have to be clear about our own position. We definitely shouldn't provoke people that we can't provoke. What does everyone think?"
Everyone said in unison, "We are willing to listen to the Patriarch's orders."
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Good, then our Lin Family will do our best to investigate Zhao Hai's background. But remember, don't let him find out. If he finds out, then even if we offend him, it won't be a good thing for us." Everyone responded in unison.
At this time, the same conversation as the Lin Family was happening in the other families of Aurora City. Although Aurora City was very small, the large families that were able to establish themselves in Aurora City weren't fools. There was no reason for them not to see through the Lin Family. If they were really that bad, then they would've been swallowed up by the other families and wouldn't have been able to survive until now.
Because of this, just like Zhao Hai thought, Aurora City didn't make a move against Viper Three. This also made Zhao Hai feel relieved. If those families really made a move against Viper Three, then it would be very troublesome for him. At that time, he would have no choice but to make a move and expose his strength.
As the sky slowly darkened, Viper Three went to the city's largest restaurant to book a table. The table was booked two days later, and it was a reserved room. The price for this day's meal wasn't low.
However, Viper Three was still somewhat worried. This was because he didn't know what Zhao Hai would do next. Therefore, even though he was currently living in the Wu Family's mansion, his heart was still very uneasy.
Zhao Hai looked at the sky outside. When it was midnight, Aurora City had already sunk into complete darkness. Everyone had already fallen asleep. Zhao Hai then moved his body and disappeared from his room.
The next morning, Lin Jue woke up early as he did every day. As soon as he got out of bed, he found a red thing beside his pillow. Lin Jue was very familiar with the ten people in his room. He was sure that before he went to bed last night, there was absolutely no such thing here. How could there be such a thing suddenly appear?
He picked up the item and looked at it. His heart couldn't help but turn cold. He saw two words written on the item: Invitation! The invitation was closed, and there was nothing special about it. However, it was this thing that made Lin Jue feel extremely shocked.
However, he still opened the invitation and saw the words written on it: Respectfully presented to Family Head Lin Jue. The day after tomorrow at 7 pm, we will order some wine at the Ice Jade Restaurant. We invite Mr. Lin Jue to grace us with his presence. Viper Three, please!
Although the tone was very polite, the way in which the invitation was sent was really impolite. As the head of the family, Lin Jue's room was naturally protected at all times. Moreover, it was in the center of the Lin Family. It was extremely difficult for others to enter his room. However, this invitation had now appeared on his bed without a sound. How could Lin Jue's heart not be scared?
Lin Jue recovered after a while. He silently put away the invitation. He knew that the other party was giving him a warning not to have any ideas about Viper Three. Moreover, looking at the other party's appearance, he didn't want to appear. Therefore, everything was left to Viper Three. In this case, if Lin Jue didn't go, then he wouldn't be giving face.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly, then he silently received the invitation. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he ate breakfast and then went to his study to work. After arriving at his study, he first dealt with a few important matters. Then he had his family call all the housekeepers in the house. After everyone arrived at his study, Lin Jue looked at everyone and then took out the invitation. He placed it on the table and said, "Everyone, take a look. This is an invitation from Viper Three."
When everyone heard Lin Jue, they couldn't help but stare. They were very clear that Viper Three didn't come to the Lin Mansion today. Even the Ice Dagger Gang didn't come to the Lin Mansion. Where did this invitation come from?
Lin Xiang's expression changed, he looked at Lin Jue and said, "Father, when was this invitation sent?"
Lin Jue looked at Lin Xiang and said, "Last night, when I was asleep, I didn't know when the other party sent it. I only know that when I went to sleep last night, I didn't see the invitation. When I woke up this morning, I saw the invitation on my bed." When everyone heard Lin Jue, they couldn't help but go into an uproar.
Lin Jue looked at everyone, then he coughed and said, "Alright, don't quarrel. The other party sent the invitation because they don't want to be enemies with us. But at the same time, they're also giving us a warning. I think everyone should know this."
Everyone calmed down. When they heard Lin Jue, they nodded. They understood what Lin Jue meant. The other party sent an invitation in name, but it was actually a warning. Although everyone felt uncomfortable in their hearts, they were still shocked by the mysterious means of the other party.
Lin Xiang looked at Lin Jue and said, "Father, what do you plan to do?"
Lin Jue replied, "Since the other party sent the invitation, I naturally have to go and see them. Otherwise, wouldn't I be disrespecting them? From this matter, it can be seen that the other party's strength is far beyond our imagination. From today onwards, we'll stop investigating Zhao Hai's identity. If Zhao Hai finds out, then we'll have offended him. We won't do this. Does anyone have any objections? "
Everyone nodded. Lin Jue looked at them and said, "Alright, since you already know about this matter, I won't say anything else. I'll go to the Ice Jade Pavilion on the night after tomorrow. Everyone can go and do their own things." Everyone nodded and then turned around to leave. Only Lin Xiang stayed behind.
After everyone left, Lin Jue looked at Lin Xiang and said, "Xiang 'er, what do you think Zhao Hai wants to do? If he wants to sell, then why would he buy the Wu Family? What does he want to do? "
Lin Xiang said in a deep voice, "Father, do you think it's possible that he wants to find a way out? Aurora City is a small city and no one pays attention to it. If something really happens to their bandit group in the future, they can escape to Aurora City and directly merge with the Wu Family. At that time, not only will they have a livelihood, but they will also have an identity that won't be suspected. "
Lin Jue nodded and said, "I think so too. However, that place can't be called the Wu Family anymore. I wonder what the surname of Viper Three is?"
Viper Three sat restlessly in his study room. As for the other members of the Ice Blade Gang, their faces were filled with excitement and restlessness. Looking at Viper Three, they felt as if they were dreaming. Yesterday, they were just a bunch of hooligans. Today, they had already become the masters of the Wu Mansion.
Ice Wolf was also sitting. He was much calmer. He glanced at Viper Three and said in a deep voice, "Third Master, the Wu Residence's sign is still hanging at the door. Now that this place belongs to Third Master, this sign will have to be changed. Third Master, what sign do you think we should hang?"
When Viper Three heard Ice Wolf's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he reacted. He looked at Ice Wolf and said, "We definitely have to change it. However, what sign should we change it to? We'll listen to Mister's opinion. What does Mister mean?"
Ice Wolf said in a deep voice, "Mister said that everything in the Wu Residence belongs to you, Third Master. Naturally, this sign will also belong to you. However, Third Master, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. After following you for so many years, I really don't know what your surname is. It's embarrassing."
When they heard Ice Wolf's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Very few of them would reveal their names. When they didn't make a name for themselves, they were afraid of being retaliated against. If they found their family through their names, it would be difficult. Once they made a name for themselves, they would be able to protect their family. However, they were already used to being called by their names, so they naturally wouldn't reveal their names. Therefore, almost all of them used their nicknames, no one used their real names.
However, in the future, you will be in charge of the matters of the Ice Blade Gang. Money isn't a problem. Mister said that he will fully support you. You have to strengthen the Ice Blade Gang as soon as possible. If you need me to deal with something, I will definitely do so. You should return to the gang now and stabilize the hearts of the people in the gang. Don't think that our Ice Blade Gang can be lost just because we have this property. Not only can we not lose it, we have to make it bigger and stronger.
Do you understand? "Ice Wolf replied," Yes, Third Master can rest assured. Then, Third Master, I'll go back now. I'll have the people we prepared come over in the shortest time possible. Now that Third Master has taken over the Wu Family's property, it's time for this property to operate. We can't just leave it like this. Those people will come to help you. "
Viper Three nodded and said, "Alright, go and arrange it." Ice Wolf nodded, then turned around and left. Zhao Hai looked at the others and said, "You guys, I've carefully selected you this time. Don't return to the gang in the future. Stay here and work with me. The Wu Family left behind such a big property, we have to make it work." The people who came with Viper Three were all very smart people in the Ice Blade Gang. They might not be the best at fighting in the Ice Blade Gang, but they were definitely the best at business.
In addition to these people, Viper Three also wanted to meet the people from the Wu Family's farm and fishing grounds. These people were originally the Wu Family's workers, but their families had lived in the farm and fishing grounds for generations. That was their livelihood. If the Wu Family wanted to leave, the others could follow them, but they couldn't. Therefore, they were naturally transferred to Viper Three by the Wu Family.
