"You should know Mr. Li Jiuzhou, right?" Xu Lao asked.
Tang Yitian immediately said, "How could I not know Grandpa Jiuzhou? The old man passed away last year. I heard that the Freemasons in the United States held a grand funeral for him. Unfortunately, I took Haoran back to Huaxia for medical treatment, so I didn't make it to the funeral. "
Li Jiuzhou was a legendary figure in the Freemasons. When he was young, Li Jiuzhou was known for his fighting strength in the Freemasons in the United States.
When Li Jiuzhou was 90 years old, he was still strong when he fought. Three to five young men couldn't get close to him easily. When he was 100 years old, he could drink half a liter of white wine and walk up and down stairs as if he was flying. He lived for 126 years and didn't die until last year.
Even Tang Yitian's father had to respectfully call Li Jiuzhou "Grandpa Li", which showed how high his seniority was.
Li Jiuzhou had experienced countless bloody fights when he was young, and he didn't drink or smoke in his life, but he had lived to a lifespan that was close to the world record. There were many legends about him in the Freemasons. The more reliable version was that Li Jiuzhou had met a master when he was young and practiced a kind of Qi Refining Method.
Xu Lao nodded and said, "It's good that you know Mr. Jiuzhou. Three years ago, Haoran's condition began to worsen. I went to the United States to ask Mr. Jiuzhou for help … "
"What? Uncle Xu, you went to the United States in person for Haoran and asked Grandpa Jiuzhou for help? "Tang Yitian was very surprised." Why didn't you tell me about this? "
Xu Lao smiled faintly and waved his hand. "What's there to talk about? Yitian, that's not the point. Listen to me. "
Tang Yitian was very moved. He nodded and said, "Uncle Xu, no matter what, I will remember your kindness!"
"Okay, okay, we're all friends. Do you need to be so pretentious?" Xu Lao laughed and scolded him. "Do you want to hear more?"
Tang Yitian smiled and said, "Go on, I won't interrupt …"
Xu Lao continued, "Do you know what the situation was at that time? After I described Haoran's condition to Mr. Jiuzhou, he shook his head and said that if he was 20 years younger, he might be able to help, but the probability of success was very low … "
"What? Even Grandpa Jiuzhou isn't confident? "Tang Yitian's expression changed." So, Mr. Xia's strength … "
When he heard Elder Xu's words and associated it with the scene of Xia Ruofei treating little Hao Ran, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Elder Xu smiled and stroked his beard. "So, do you think such a person is not worthy of your respect?"
"It's worth it …" Tang Yitian said without hesitation, "Mr. Xia is more powerful than Grandpa Jiuzhou. He deserves our respect, not to mention that he saved Haoran's life."
…
Although three or four days had passed since his meeting with Elder Xu, Tang Yitian still felt like he was dreaming when he thought about it now.
He had considered the possibility that Xia Ruofei was very powerful — otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cure little Hao Ran. However, once he had a clear reference for this kind of powerful concept, it would become more intuitive and shocking.
Tang Yitian didn't tell Jennifer about this. Even if he did, Jennifer wouldn't understand. She didn't know about the internal affairs of the Volunteer Society, and she didn't know about Mr. Li Jiuzhou's miraculous abilities.
Of course, Jennifer's gratitude towards Xia Ruofei was no less than Tang Yitian's. On the contrary, as a mother, she had to watch her beloved child's condition worsen day by day. She was sitting on billions of dollars, but she couldn't do anything about it. In that kind of desperate and helpless situation, Xia Ruofei's appearance forcibly pulled little Hao Ran back from the brink of death. As a woman with a softer heart, Jennifer's gratitude towards Xia Ruofei was far greater than Tang Yitian's.
Therefore, when little Hao Ran made a fuss about wanting to see Xia Ruofei, the couple discussed for a while and decided to come to Hunter's Valley.
There was a light knock on the door.
Tang Yitian said sternly, "Come in!"
A man in his late twenties opened the door and walked in. This man was wearing a well-ironed Tang suit. He had a very muscular body, a pair of bright eyes, and slightly protruding temples. His whole person was like an unsheathed sharp sword, with a dazzling sharpness.
However, he was very respectful in front of Tang Yitian. As soon as he entered the house, he bowed slightly to Tang Yitian and said, "Fifth Uncle, the banquet has begun. Please move to the banquet hall with Second Aunt!"
This man was Tang Yitian's nephew, Tang Hu. He was the son of Tang Yitian's late elder brother.
Tang Yitian nodded when he heard this. He stood up with Jennifer and waved at little Hao Ran. "Hao Ran, let's go!"
Little Hao Ran raised his head and asked, "Are we going to see Big Brother Ruofei?"
Tang Yitian smiled and said, "It's already late. It's not polite to go see Big Brother Ruofei at this time. Daddy will take you to a banquet."
Little Hao Ran immediately lost interest and said, "Oh …"
However, he had received a good upbringing since he was young, so he didn't throw a tantrum. He stood up obediently and left the villa with Tang Yitian and the others.
A small battery-powered car was parked at the door. Tang Hu respectfully invited Tang Yitian and his family to get on the car. Then, he jumped into the front passenger seat and signaled the staff to set off.
On the way, Tang Hu turned back and said with a smile, "Fifth Uncle, if those suppliers know that you're going to attend the banquet in person, they'll definitely be flattered."
Tang Yitian smiled faintly and said, "It's just a coincidence! You've done well in the New South Wales market these past few years. I'm very relieved. "
Tang Hu quickly said, "It's all thanks to your cultivation, Fifth Uncle!"
Tang Yitian smiled and said, "That's also inseparable from your own efforts. But Ah Hu, it's best to transform the Vigilante Association's business as soon as possible. The situation now is not as good as before. "
Tang Hu said solemnly, "I understand, Fifth Uncle. The transformation work has been going on, but it'll take a process. "
Tang Yitian said seriously, "In short, you must strictly restrain your subordinates. Also, you must not touch sensitive businesses like drugs and firearms!"
"Understood! Don't worry, those businesses have been completely stopped for the past two days. Drug transactions are absolutely not allowed on our territory, "Tang Hu said. Then, he smiled and said, "Some time ago, the State Police Commissioner expressed his affirmation of our Vigilante Association!"
The State Police Commissioner praised the leader of the underground world. This sounded a little ironic, but it was indeed objective. There were not so many black and white things in this world.
Just like Tang Yitian, who in the Australian police world didn't know that he used to be a heavyweight in the entire Australian underground world? But he could still drink and chat merrily with the federal politicians.
Tang Yitian nodded and asked, "By the way, how's the cooperation with the Japanese going?"
He frowned slightly when he asked. He had some resistance to this cooperation. Although he was born and raised in Australia, he had the blood of the Yellow Emperor in his body. Moreover, he had been in the Chinese society with his father since he was a child. He still had a strong Huaxia complex and had a natural aversion to the Japanese.
However, this cooperation was advocated by Tang Hu, so it was put on a pilot program in New South Wales. The conditions proposed by the other party were indeed very attractive. The two sides would jointly set up a new retail brand and promote it in Australia and Japan at the same time. Mei Ya also had a controlling share, so the initiative of the cooperation process was also in Mei Ya's hands. Therefore, Tang Yitian reluctantly agreed to let Tang Hu give it a try.
Tang Hu immediately said, "We're almost done talking. Our conditions have basically been agreed. If we reach an agreement on some details of the next step, we should enter the substantive implementation stage."
Tang Yitian nodded and said, "Be careful in everything. The Japanese have always been cunning and dishonest. We can't trust them too much."
"Don't worry, Fifth Uncle!" Tang Hu grinned and said, "In Australia, especially in New South Wales, the Japanese can't make any waves at all. In Japan, the Yamada Corporation is also facing the pressure of several major retail giants. It's difficult for them to survive, so they don't dare to have any crooked thoughts about cooperation."
"That's good …" Tang Yitian said and closed his eyes slightly.
Tang Hu tactfully turned his head back.
Soon, the battery-powered car drove to the door of the pub owner's building. Tang Hu respectfully asked Tang Yitian's family to get out of the car. Then, he personally led the way and led them into the main banquet hall.
Before they reached the door, Tang Yitian and the others heard a commotion inside. There were even people whistling and cheering.
Tang Yitian frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on? Is there a carnival party inside? "
This kind of reception banquet generally had a peaceful atmosphere. Everyone was conversing elegantly, and even their voices wouldn't be too loud. Otherwise, it would be quite rude. But now, listening to it, it was as if they were in the stands of a football field. This was really unbelievable.
Tang Hu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He quickly said, "Maybe something has happened! I'll go and take a look! "
After that, Tang Hu quickly took two steps forward and pushed open the door of the banquet hall.
As soon as Tang Hu entered the door, he saw a scene that made him furious. Almost the entire banquet hall was surrounded. Then, he saw Yamada Jiro kneeling in the crowd, trembling and begging for mercy with tears and snot. An Asian man had a gun in his hand against Yamada Jiro's forehead. His expression was calm and cold.
"What are you doing?" Tang Hu roared. "Put the gun down immediately!"
The banquet hall was quiet for a moment. Then, everyone started whispering. For a moment, it seemed that there was a buzzing sound everywhere.
Tang Hu's reputation in New South Wales was too resounding. When these people saw that Tang Hu had personally arrived, they immediately looked at Xia Ruofei with sympathy. Of course, there were also many who were gloating.
