"Ha~" She couldn't help but smile again, glancing at Tang Boqi's dark face, and continued to Song Tianyao with a smile, "I didn't expect you to deliberately use this kind of leaky, handsome man tactic to simply pass the problem to me to choose."
She held up a slender, pale finger. "I've dealt with many people and seen many rhetoric techniques, but this is the first time I've encountered a 'handsome man' tactic... so I find it quite amusing. And the fact that you were able to subtly throw the question at me and let me choose is truly impressive. Mr. Song, when you initially devised this strategy, how did you think it might succeed?"
"Billy Zai's womanizing ways are always successful. There was a banker's daughter who fell in love with him at first sight. So I think, if you also meet Billy Zai once and then recklessly ruin your life, there are only two possibilities: either you've already conspired with the Lin Family to frame me, or you're just a lovesick fool. Whichever you are, I can act accordingly." Song Tianyao relaxed, leaned back on the sofa, withdrew his gaze, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the ceiling leisurely, saying, "That would be much easier. Miss Lu, you're very capable, especially your smile."
Lu Yuanchun regained his calm and collected demeanor, crossed his legs, and elegantly folded his hands on them. "Mr. Song, no matter how handsome a man is, I've already seen him. Even if he's just infatuated and handing over money, I'd still like to hear your plan for taking my money. It's impossible for you to just throw out a bunch of cash without asking any questions, after only one glance at this handsome Mr. Billy, without considering the consequences. I run a bank, not a dating agency."
In his last sentence, Lu Yuanchun's tone was devoid of any smile; it was as indifferent and cold as water.
"I'm in business, not an orphanage. This is Hong Kong, not sparsely populated Malaysia. In this city, not just anyone's money can be touched. Given the current situation, it's best to be cautious." Song Tianyao's last smile vanished, and he said coldly, "Miss Lu from Guangyi Bank in Malaysia suddenly appeared out of nowhere, offering timely help. If you were in my seat, Miss Lu, you'd probably prefer I was looking for a lover rather than running a bank."
Tang Boqi's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water. That scoundrel Song Tianyao was really making the most of everything, dragging him out to use his good looks for every woman he met. But he wasn't surprised by anything Song Tianyao did anymore. What surprised him most was the graceful, sexy, and elegant Lu Yuanchun opposite him. Even when Tang Boqi revealed Lu Yuanchun truth, Tang Boqi hadn't guessed why Song Tianyao had said "no," but Lu Yuanchun had already figured it out, and they discussed it as if it were a joke.
The two people don't trust each other, but because they both need each other, they are testing each other.
Lu Rongfang, sitting on the sofa a little further away, gently nudged Pan Guoyang's shoulder. "Were they testing each other just now?"
"It seems so..." Pan Guoyang scratched his head and said uncertainly.
"Hey..." Lu Rongfang clicked her tongue and lowered her voice, "Whether it's Chunmei or Song Tianyao, in their eyes who can change their attitude at any moment, won't we look like idiots?"
Chapter 390 The Red Flowers Bloomed by Yan Hung
Yan Hung in the private room of the Mei Yin Guild Hall, twirling the gold ring on his finger, expressionlessly examining a Western nude oil painting hanging in the room, but his mind was on the matter that Song Tianyao had given him.
Lin Xiaokang is now frozen in a freezer and being treated as an unidentified corpse. If it were an ordinary poor person, he would have been thrown into a rural mortuary or buried on the spot in a wasteland. The original plan to have Lao Fu's brother "accidentally" recognize Lin Xiaokang and then go to the Lin Family to investigate, and to have Brother Wing Brother Shui identify the murderer, could only be postponed for the time being. Yan Hung patted his chest and promised Yin Guotao that he would find out the identity of the deceased as soon as possible, which finally stalled the matter for the time being.
After finally getting the body to the hospital's cold storage in Mong Kok, and having his trusted men keep an eye on it, before he could even catch his breath, Huang Liu came to his door again, asking him to find a way to start a conflict with Wo On Lok by randomly picking a triad, and then set the fire on the United Soda Factory.
The United Soda Factory was a business owned by the Lin Family, and Yan Hung was well aware of this. Not only did he know, but other people in the underworld also knew. No gang leader was willing to give up a stable life and go to Wo On Lok Anle to antagonize the Lin Family, especially since Yan Hung could not promise enough benefits. Even Golden-Tooth Lei of Fuyixing refused outright.
If Huang Liu hadn't been so pushy, giving off the impression that he'd find someone else to do it if Huang Liu didn't, Yan Hung wouldn't have even considered coming to see Harmony Heroes and Bo Cong.
After all, Fuyixing and the He-prefix gangs were not close, and they were even rivals in some businesses. Chen Tai, one of Bo Cong's men, and Song Tianyao's distant cousin had both stood against them at the Sai Kung Pier. However, in his desperation, Yan Hung only thought of Bo Cong, because he felt that if Bo Cong was not tempted, other gangsters would have even less of a chance.
When Bo Cong was in dire straits, he led a group of brothers to Myanmar, risking their lives to negotiate and purchase opium from the guns of the Kuomintang defeated soldiers. He single-handedly built a small gang and gradually grew it into a powerful force. His courage, ambition, and vision were among the best in the underworld.
Just as he was thinking about how to bring this up with Bo Cong, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside.
"Sir Yan, you seem to be in a good mood, coming to support my event?" Bo Cong walked in with a smile, leaning on a cane, followed by the imposing Chen Tai.
Yan Hung glanced at Chen Tai, who gave Chen Tai Yan Hung a slight nod. "Brother Hung, long time no see."
Since that night at Sai Kung Pier, Yan Hung and Chen Tai haven't had much contact. Chen Tai's business in Mong Kok is now handled by his subordinates who take care of the police. He no longer sits down with Yan Hung to drink and chat as often as before. That night, Chen Tai chose to side He-prefix gangs Lui Lok, the son-in-law of the Wo family, instead of Yan Hung.
Yan Hung smiled slightly at Chen Tai, then smiled back, stepped forward, put his arm around the Bo Cong's shoulder, and led him towards the table, saying affectionately:
"Brother Cong, Heroes is doing quite well lately."
