"Ah Sap, whether I have a chance or not is none of your business. I came to the banquet tonight, but you showed up uninvited. Besides, I heard last night that Young Master Shun Xin was very unhappy with Chao Yong Yi. You care about yourself, relying on the Chu Family to support the whole gang. When the Young Master of the Chu Family has something to do, you pretend to be deaf and dumb. Why don't you ask the master to write what happened last night into the gang rules, so that all the members who join in the Chao Yong Yi will know that you, Chan Ah-sap, are loyal to the boss?" Golden-Tooth Lei sat opposite, slightly raised his eyelids, and said with a disdainful tone, "The Chu Family feeds you, but you can't even hold onto your own rice bowl. You wouldn't mind starving to death."
"Golden-Tooth Lei! You're embarrassing my Big Brother?" Before Chan Ah-sap could speak, Fish Stall Kun was standing next to him, slammed his left hand on the huge dining table, causing all the food and drinks on the table to bounce and clatter, spilling tea and soup all over the table. He then reached down to his waist with his right hand and pulled out a sharp axe!
Behind Golden-Tooth Lei, a tall, thin man with a toothpick in his mouth, perched on a chair, suddenly raised his leg and stomped on the dining table with his left foot. The soup and tea that were originally flowing towards Golden-Tooth Lei immediately flowed towards the opposite side. Golden-Tooth Lei remained motionless, grunted, and ignored Fish Stall Kun. The man, however, spat out the toothpick and lazily said:
"Fish Stall Kun, is it? Be careful, or I might put you in the fishpond and leave no one to collect your corpse."
As he spoke, he lifted his undershirt, revealing two axes tucked into the belts on either side of his waist. "When you die, remember to tell King Yama that the one who sent you on your way was Gao Laocheng, the Double Red Pole of Gao Lao Cheng Fuyixing."
Just then, Yan Hung's follower A Wai, looked towards the sea and said to Yan Hung, "Brother Hung, Song Tianyao is here."
His voice wasn't loud, but just as the two sides quieted down, everyone on the third floor of the Taibai Seafood Restaurant followed A Wai's gaze and saw a sampan coming from the direction of the dock. On the sampan stood a young man in a smart suit, who passed right through the two groups of people confronting each other at sea and headed straight for the Taibai Seafood Restaurant.
The two sides, who were just about to lose their temper and start a fight, immediately fell silent again, listening to the sound of leather shoes stepping on the stairs, one step at a time, unhurried and calm.
When Song Tianyao appeared at the stairwell, Chan Ah-sap and Golden-Tooth Lei stood up simultaneously. Song Tianyao didn't look at either of them, but instead gazed at the messy dining table, flicked the ash from his cigarette, and pointed at the table with his right hand, which was holding a cigarette. His tone was unreadable:
"I'm treating tonight, who's so arrogant as to embarrass me with this?"
Chapter 41 The Feast (Part 1)
"Brother Yiu..." Zhao Wenye stepped out from behind Rotten-Life Ju and had only said two words to Song Tianyao when Song Tianyao interrupted him directly, "Shut up, I'm asking who ate this meal."
Chan Ah-sap's face turned pale. He couldn't figure out Song Tianyao's intentions, so he was caught in a dilemma: whether to speak or remain silent.
Meanwhile, Golden-Tooth Lei turned to look at Yan Hung, Yan Hung understood and said to Song Tianyao, "Secretary Song, my Big Brother and I were waiting for you. We didn't know that Brother Ten from Chao Yong Yi had also brought his men. We chatted for a bit, but then we started to disagree, and one of the guys on the other side almost overturned the banquet."
"Golden-Tooth Lei Qiu, my Big Brother..." Fish Stall Kun's eyes widened, he gripped the axe in his right hand and pointed at Yan Hung's mouth with his left, shouting, but Rotten-Life Ju quickly covered his mouth from the side and shook his head slightly at him.
Song Tianyao turned around, glanced at Fish Stall Kun, and walked straight to Chan Ah-sap, poking Chan Ah-sap's chest repeatedly with his finger. "Brother Ten, did I say I'd treat you to a grand dinner tonight? If it weren't for that Rotten-Life Ju helping me this afternoon, I wouldn't have even told you. Now you're bringing people to ruin my mood? Do you know what I just did? I went to see Chairman Chu had dinner with his whole family. When Young Master Shun me out, he was still slurring your mother's name. Tonight's banquet was for Young Master Young Master Shun to thank Yan Hung and Golden-Tooth Lei on his behalf. You think you're qualified to ruin his banquet now? Fine, I don't care. I'll go tell Young Master Shun right now and let him talk to you himself."
If anyone else dared to point their finger at their own chest while speaking in front of Fuyixing today, losing face like that, Chan Ah-sap would have had his men cut them into ten or eight pieces and thrown them into the sea to feed the sharks.
But now, after Song Tianyao finished speaking, he dared not move, a layer of cold sweat already seeping from his forehead. Disrespecting Song Tianyao and disrespecting Chu Xiaoxin were two different things. If this banquet was hosted by Song Tianyao, there would be room for maneuver, but if it was at Chu Xiaoxin's behest...
After saying this, Song Tianyao turned around, looked Lower Wan, and walked over to a timid waiter huddled in a corner. "Do you recognize me? I was here last night."
"Yes, I know him..." The waiter looked up and forced a smile. "You were with Young Master Shun last night."
"Call the woman who played music last night over, and while you're at it, change the table at the banquet." Song Tianyao took out a twenty-yuan note from his wallet, folded it, and put it into the dazed waiter's pocket. "Go on, this is your reward."
The guy practically ran and jumped down the stairs.
Song Tianyao smiled at the other man's mixture of fear and excitement, then turned and walked back to Chan Ah-sap, whose face was grim. "Brother Ten, I have no grudge against you, and you haven't offended someone as insignificant as me. Since your Rotten-Life Ju has helped me this time, I'll pretend this banquet never happened. How about it? Why don't you come downstairs for a cup of tea and think it over? I can then host another banquet for Yan Hung and Golden-Tooth Lei."
After saying that, Song Tianyao turned to walk past Golden-Tooth Lei, but after taking two steps, he turned back and said to Chan Ah-sap, "You'd better arrange for the brothers on those sampans outside to go home for dinner. It's Young Master Shun who invited Yan Hung to dinner. Are you planning to ruin the banquet that Young Master Shun has arranged?"
Song Tianyao was arrogant and overbearing towards Chan Ah-sap, but Chan Ah-sap's eyes already showed a hint of joy.
There's still a chance!
"Let's go downstairs, Ah Ju. Tell the brothers at sea to return to the dock. Don't scare Lao Fu's brothers." Chan Ah-sap snorted heavily and took the lead towards the stairs.
