Spring City is a beautiful city with a long history.
This city with a population of more than five million was divided into the Old City District and the New City District. Among them, the Old City District had basically maintained its historical appearance. Buildings that were hundreds and thousands of years old could be seen everywhere. Even the city walls were well-preserved.
The Spring Dawn Teahouse was located on the edge of the ancient city wall.
The Spring Dawn Teahouse was famous in Spring City. It was said that hundreds of hundred-year-old Phoebe Phoebe were used to build it, including many precious Phoebe Phoebe Phoebe Phoebe, which was worth more than gold nowadays.
Furthermore, it was built with a high level of craftsmanship, using mortise and tenon construction without a single nail. It was a place where the officials and nobles of Spring City used to socialize.
Although the Spring Dawn Teahouse was open to the public now, the cost inside was very high. Even the most ordinary pot of tea cost a few hundred yuan. Ordinary people would definitely shrink back at the sight of it.
Zuo Yi and Fang Xiaohui arrived at an elegant room on the third floor of the Spring Dawn Teahouse.
The elegant room wasn't big, but the decor was very classy. There was a mahogany tea table in the middle, and a man in a brocade Tang suit was sitting on the main seat to the right of the door.
This man had a big belly and was as fat as a Maitreya. His round face was full of joy, and his squinted eyes looked very kind.
He was wearing all kinds of jewelry, such as Dzi beads, beeswax, Buddhist amulets, and large gold chains. The jade thumb ring on his hand that was holding the teacup was very eye-catching.
Beside the window of the tearoom, a beautiful woman in a long dress was playing the zither with a bowl of sandalwood beside her.
The sound of the zither was faint, and the fragrance of the zither lingered in the air. The ancient trees outside the window were deep, and it was an elegant scene.
However, the valiant man standing in the corner of the room ruined the atmosphere. He had a deep scar on the left side of his face. His hair was cropped short, and his eyes were fierce. He glared at Zuo Yi and Fang Xiaohui who had just stepped into the private room.
"Mr. Zhang."
"I'm Fang Xiaohui. Nice to meet you," Fang Xiaohui said, neither haughty nor humble.
The fat man in the Tang suit didn't get up. He put down the teacup in his hand and smiled faintly. "Secretary Fang …"
His appearance was very kind, and when he smiled, it was easy to think of the four words "amiability brings wealth". However, the words that came out of his mouth had a sinister taste. "Today, I invited you here to ask, what do you want to do?"
Bang!
The bottom of the teacup fell on the mahogany table, and the sound of the collision made one's heart palpitate!
Fang Xiaohui sneered, "I don't need to report to you what I want to do, Boss Zhang, right?"
Since he had chosen to stand on Zuo Yi's side, of course, he would no longer be nice to the other party and had no scruples.
Originally, Fang Xiaohui wanted to persuade Zhang Longqing to resolve this matter peacefully, but at this moment, the other party had made it clear that he wanted to denounce him. How could he bow down to the other party in front of Zuo Yi?
Fang Xiaohui's attitude was so unyielding that Zhang Longqing's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.
He waved his hand.
The female zither player immediately picked up the zither, bowed, and left the private room.
Zhang Longqing ignored Fang Xiaohui and turned his gaze to Zuo Yi. "What is this friend's surname?"
"My surname is Zuo."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Gao Feng is my friend."
"Little Gao …"
Zhang Longqing sighed and said slowly, "His character is not bad, but he is young and impetuous and doesn't know when to back down. It is a pity that he doesn't even know what he has done wrong."
Zhang Longqing was born in an ordinary family, but he had mingled in the underworld since he was young, so his experience and eyesight were not bad.
Zuo Yi gave him an unfathomable feeling, so there was a bit of probing in his words.
"Gao Feng's biggest problem is that his eyes are not very good …"
Zuo Yi had a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. "He mistook the wolf for the God of Wealth, so he is destined to be a villain."
Zhang Longqing's face suddenly sank.
Although he was somewhat wary of Zuo Yi, in Spring City, the Bai family was the overlord.
He didn't believe that Zuo Yi could cause any trouble here.
What made Zhang Longqing most certain was that the Qi orchid he gave to the Bai family yesterday was liked and praised by his brother-in-law's elders, so he had an extra amulet on him.
Therefore, Zhang Longqing dared to look down on Fang Xiaohui, but he was not afraid of Zuo Yi.
He could afford to lose face, but the Bai family couldn't.
"Master Sun …"
Zhang Longqing said in a deep voice, "Please call the inspection team and tell them that we found Gao Feng's accomplice who stole and sold the protected plant. Ask them to come over immediately."
Fang Xiaohui was furious. "Zhang Longqing!"
Zhang Longqing ignored him and looked at the sturdy man standing in the corner.
The sturdy man hesitated for a moment, but still took out his phone from his pocket.
As he dialed the number, he glanced at Zuo Yi and Fang Xiaohui with a vigilant and sharp gaze, warning them not to act rashly.
His left hand intentionally lifted the corner of his shirt, revealing the pistol at his waist.
Zhang Longqing revealed a sinister smile.
The veins on Fang Xiaohui's forehead bulged as he clenched his fists.
"Haha."
Zuo Yi suddenly laughed and reached out to grab the sturdy man.
Zuo Yi was about three to four meters away from the sturdy man. The latter's phone suddenly flew out of his right hand and into Zuo Yi's hand.
The sturdy man's expression changed drastically.
He wasn't an ordinary person. Even if someone tried to snatch something from him, they wouldn't be able to do so. But just now, Zuo Yi had grabbed his phone without any resistance.
He immediately realized that Zuo Yi was also a supernatural being.
Without hesitation, the sturdy man reached into his waist and prepared to pull out the weapon he carried with him.
However, before his fingers could touch the handle of the gun, the powerful pistol was pulled away by an invisible force. At the same time, his legs suddenly bent and he knelt heavily on the floor.
Bang!
The collision between the knee and the wooden plank made a shuddering sound.
The sturdy man was horrified to the extreme. He instinctively stimulated all his strength and desperately tried to break free from the control.
However, his knees seemed to have taken root as they stuck firmly to the floor and didn't move an inch.
Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and dripped from his lowered head onto the floor.
After restraining the sturdy man, Zuo Yi turned his head to look at Zhang Longqing.
The sturdy man's pistol was suspended in the air half a meter in front of Zuo Yi. Following his line of sight, the muzzle of the gun was also aimed at Zhang Longqing's head.
Zhang Longqing, who was extremely arrogant just a moment ago, turned pale. The muscles on his fat face twitched, his hands trembled, and his eyes were full of fear.
The sturdy man kneeling on the ground just now wasn't Zhang Longqing's bodyguard or subordinate. Instead, he was an expert he had specially invited from his cheap brother-in-law to back him up. He was a supernatural being!
This was also the reason why he was so arrogant.
However, before he could make a move, this supernatural being knelt down. Moreover, he knelt down so decisively.
Faced with the black muzzle of the gun, all of Zhang Longqing's confidence and courage disappeared.
