Jingmen Island's Sheraton Hotel was located in the downtown area where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. It occupied a large area and the entire hotel building was particularly stylish. Every year, tourists from all over the country would choose this hotel as their first choice, so the price was naturally very high.
On the surface, the Ouyang Family was the most powerful family in Jingmen Island. Whether it was their business network or social circle, no other family could compare with them.
Therefore …
Nearly all the big shots in Jingmen Island were invited to the charity party hosted by the Ouyang Family. Even the dignitaries from outside were lucky enough to receive an invitation.
At around five o 'clock in the evening, luxury cars drove into the Sheraton Hotel. As the cars stopped at the entrance of the hotel building, well-dressed dignitaries walked into the hotel lobby under Ouyang Lei's warm greeting. As it was approaching 6 PM, Ouyang Lei raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. He then turned to look at his subordinate and asked, "How many people have yet to arrive according to the invitation we sent out?"
"More than a dozen."
The refined middle-aged man replied in a low voice.
Ouyang Lei squinted his eyes. When he saw another expensive luxury car coming and stopping in front of him, he quickly glanced at it and found that it was also an acquaintance, so he quickly greeted him. After greeting him with a smile and entering the hotel lobby, an ordinary off-road vehicle stopped next to him.
"Huh?"
Ouyang Lei's expression moved. He immediately looked pleasantly surprised when he saw Gu Xiaoxue coming out of the car. However, before he could step in front of Gu Xiaoxue, Tan Xiu's figure appeared on the other side of the car's door.
"Oh, why are you here, Brother-in-law?"
Ouyang Lei directly gave up on greeting Gu Xiaoxue and strode toward Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu rolled his eyes. He looked at the pleasantly surprised Ouyang Lei and snappily said, "Can't you change the way you address me? Even if you don't care about me, shouldn't you think about your younger sister? She hasn't found a husband yet, so calling me like that will damage her reputation. "
Ouyang Lei stared blankly for a moment. He immediately patted his forehead and smilingly said, "Yeah, you're right. My younger sister hasn't married yet, so you can't be considered as my brother-in-law. Then, a future brother-in-law should be correct, right? Hahaha … "
Tan Xiu glanced at Yang Le, who got out of the driver's seat, and said, "Remember this guy's appearance. I'll give you one night. Tomorrow, I'll make him run to me and beg me."
Yang Le looked at Ouyang Lei with a strange expression. He then nodded with a smile and said, "No problem. I guarantee that I'll complete the task."
"What do you mean?" Ouyang Lei was confused. And this is? "
Tan Xiu faintly smiled and said, "I won't introduce you to each other for the time being. You'll get to know him again tomorrow. Besides, I'm here to attend the charity gala today. As the host, shouldn't you invite me in warmly? "
Ouyang Lei laughed heartily and said, "You don't need to invite me. You don't need to pretend to be polite at all. This is a charity gala hosted by our family. You can enter however you want. Calculating the time, almost all the people who were supposed to come had arrived. I didn't need to waste my time outside. Come on, let's go in together. "
After entering the hotel lobby, everyone took the elevator to the 26th floor. As they were about to enter the banquet hall, Tan Xiu casually asked, "I heard that you also invited the Yao Family. Have they come?"
Ouyang Lei stared blankly for a moment before he suddenly realized something and quickly said, "Don't mess around today, my future brother-in-law! I know that your Tang Family and the Yao Family have some friction, but all the bigwigs in Jingmen Island have come today. It will be hard for our Ouyang Family to deal with if something happens. "
"I won't attack unless I'm attacked," Tan Xiu said with a faint smile.
Ouyang Lei nodded without a word and said, "Yao Xinhua has arrived, along with several people he brought. They should be inside now."
Tan Xiu didn't speak again. After entering the banquet hall with Ouyang Lei, he found that there were hundreds of people inside. Fortunately, the banquet hall was very large and could accommodate thousands of people, so it didn't seem crowded. Under the soft illumination of the crystal lamps, tables of wine and delicacies could be seen everywhere. Groups of three to five successful people gathered together and chatted about various topics.
"Ouyang Lei, what's your Ouyang Family's purpose in making such a big scene today?"
"To put it bluntly, it's a charity donation," said Ouyang Lei with a smile. Almost every year, our Ouyang family would organize such an event. However, it seems to have changed its flavor along with the charity banquet. It has become a grand event for those business elites, dignitaries, and dignitaries to communicate in private. Nowadays, every successful person in Jingmen Island will be proud to receive an invitation from my Ouyang Family. "
Tan Xiu suddenly understood. He recalled that the Ouyang Family could become the number one family in Jingmen Island. He believed that they had many means to accumulate connections, and tonight's charity banquet was probably just one of them.
"Alright! You're the host, so you don't have to accompany me here. We'll have plenty of time to communicate later, "said Tan Xiu.
Ouyang Lei nodded with a smile. As the future successor of the Ouyang Family, he indeed had to be busy with social engagements. If he were to accompany Tan Xiu here, it would be somewhat inexcusable to the other guests.
Following his departure, Gu Xiaoxue, who had been following beside Tan Xiu, attracted a lot of attention. She leaned toward Tan Xiu and whispered, "Grand Master, at two o 'clock, there's a young man in a white suit with slicked-back hair. He's the outstanding talent of the Yao Family's new generation … Yao Xinhua."
Tan Xiu looked over and saw the handsome and tall Yao Xinhua, who was holding a glass of red wine and chatting with several successful middle-aged men. As if sensing that someone was looking at him, Yao Xinhua glanced around a few times before his eyes finally met with Tan Xiu's.
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and turned toward the rest area in the corner. Today was the first time he saw Yao Xinhua. He had a good head and a good brain. Furthermore, Tan Xiu could see that Yao Xinhua's skill should be good as well. Although this kind of opponent was extremely terrifying to many people, it was nothing to him. Perhaps only the arrival of the Yao Family's old patriarch could attract Tan Xiu's attention.
At two o 'clock.
After seeing Tan Xiu, Yao Xinhua's eyes turned a lot more solemn. A chilling light burst out from his eyes as a dense killing intent gushed out from his heart. When he first fought with the Tang Family in the South, the Tang Family was utterly defeated. He was in high spirits and was ready to make persistent efforts to make the Tang Family suffer heavy losses and completely lose the two provinces in the South. But then, the battle situation suddenly changed. The Tang Family's series of means caught him off guard and caught him off guard.
The result was very miserable.
His Yao Family and his friendly family suffered heavy losses, and he was forced to retreat again and again. Finally, all the achievements he had achieved were in vain, and he was forced to return to the Imperial Capital with his tail between his legs.
At that time, he was very aggrieved. Because he didn't even know who the real enemy was. It was not until later, through various channels of investigation, that he found out that it was the Tang Family's long-lost descendant named Tan Xiu who took over the battle in the South and beat him so miserably.
Therefore, he also regarded Tan Xiu as a lifelong enemy. Even now, he was always ready and looking forward to playing with Tan Xiu in the future to wash away the humiliation he had suffered. However, when he suddenly saw Tan Xiu's figure, even though he was always ready, his heart still tightened.
"Why is he here?"
Yao Xinhua's mind was calm and he was not affected by the killing intent. Countless thoughts churned in his mind as he silently thought about the purpose of Tan Xiu's visit. It stood to reason that Tan Xiu should be in Shanghai now, being a good student at Shanghai University.
"Could it be … because of the Yao Family's plan to rent an island in the South China Sea?"
As Yao Xinhua thought of this issue, his heartstrings suddenly tightened and a vigilant look appeared in his eyes. It must be noted that the Yao Family's plan this time was very big and very important. If it could be completed, the Yao Family would continue to grow in the next few years, and their armed forces would advance by leaps and bounds. As long as the plan went smoothly, the Yao Family would be able to stand proudly in the entire Imperial Capital and become the most powerful family in a few years.
"Excuse me!"
Yao Xinhua maintained a smile on his face as he spoke to the people around him. Then, he walked to the side with the red wine. After coming to the corner, he took out his mobile and dialed a cell number.
"Dad, it's me!"
Yao Xinhua said in a low voice.
"What's the matter?"
A dignified voice came from the phone.
"Dad, I met Tan Xiu in Jingmen Island in the charity party organized by the Ouyang Family," said Yao Xinhua. "I suspect that his sudden appearance in Jingmen Island is inseparable from the upcoming plan of our Yao Family."
"Tan Xiu? Which Tan Xiu?" asked Yao Chengqing doubtfully.
"The Tang Family, Tan Xiu," said Yao Xinhua.
Yao Chengqing was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and asked in a deep voice, "Is it Tan Xiu who once fought with you in the two southern provinces? The little fella of the Tang Family who was lost for 20 years? "
"That's right!"
Said Yao Xinhua.
Yao Chengqing was silent for a moment before he coldly said, "Our Yao Family's plan must not go wrong. Although you're just a smokescreen in the open, it's best to avoid trouble. Since the Tang Family's people have appeared in Jingmen Island, it means that the Tang Family has already been aware of the situation. So, find an opportunity to meet this Tan Xiu. If possible, try to make him stay in Jingmen Island forever. "
Yao Xinhua's expression moved as he nodded and said, "I understand, Dad. I'll do it quietly so that he won't be able to return alive. "
"Don't take it lightly," said Yao Chengqing. "You're in the open and he's in the dark, so your own safety is the first priority. If it doesn't work out, take your people back. I believe your Second Uncle will do it secretly. "
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," said Yao Xinhua. "I won't act rashly if I'm not 100% sure. I'll immediately retreat if there's even the slightest sign of trouble. "
