Chu Yaozong was completely unaffected by Cai Yuanbai's words, his eyes fixed only on the tea cake in the other's hand.
"Hey, I didn't bring this expensive tea cake for nothing!" Cai Yuanbai said, deliberately putting the tea cake back into the paper bag next to him.
Only when the tea cake was out of sight did Chu Yaozong turn his gaze away. He dipped a porcelain brush into the diluted tea and gently moistened the surface of the celadon cup in front of him, gazing at the cicada-wing-like tea patterns on its surface.
"Ah Sap is your man. He won't act without your orders. Now that you've already stepped forward, why pretend to be silent?"
Chu Yaozong glanced at Cai Yuanbai: "Are you out of your mind? I had Ah Sap go to the dock and get a ship from the Shanghai people. That's because the ship that was sunk in Fish-Mouth Bay was supplied with cargo by the Chu Family, and the ship owner was from Chiu Chow people. They got a ship from the Chiu Chow people, and I got a ship from the Shanghai people. It doesn't mean I have to rush out and support Xu Pingsheng right now."
"So what exactly do you mean?"
Chu Yaozong held his teacup, admiring it slowly, and said calmly, "It's simple, if you can avoid touching this pool of water, then absolutely do so."
Cai Yuanbai pressed further, "Then you told Ah Sap..."
"I am the president of the Chiu Chow Chamber of Commerce. If someone targets Chiu Chow people, shouldn't I stand up for them? If Shanghai people target people from your Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, what will you do?" Chu Yaozong raised his eyelids slightly and asked Cai Yuanbai.
"You sent Ah Sap to help Xu Pingsheng, not to help him, but to maintain a neutral stance?" Cai Yuanbai hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "I thought you thought the same as me, but it turns out we're on different paths again."
"We can't help. You know that we're caught between the mainland and Taiwan. We have unreliable Foreign Devil behind us. If we get too deeply involved, both sides can get out of there, but we'll be the ones drowning."
At this moment, Uncle Yan gently pushed open the study door from the outside, walked quickly to Chu Yaozong's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and Chu Yaozong frowned slightly. After Uncle En finished speaking, he left again.
Seeing Cai Yuanbai looking at him, Chu Yaozong carefully put down the azure cup in his hand and said, "Song Tianyao fired shots at Yu Shiting's Jing Garden. Most of the Shanghai shipping merchants heard it. Now Song Tianyao has gone to Xu Pingsheng's house."
"Fake?" Cai Yuanbai blurted out immediately after hearing this.
Chu Yaozong pointed to the tea cake that Cai Yuanbai had put back in its paper package. "Regardless of whether it's real or fake, let's drink the tea first. This tea cake is genuine."
As Song Tianyao was helped out of the car by Huang Liu, Xu Pingsheng's son, Xu Enbo, was already waiting outside the Xu Family's gate with a bitter smile on his face.
Seeing the redness and swelling on Song Tianyao's face, Xu Enbo said, "Mr. Song, why are you doing this to yourself?"
Song Tianyao patted Huang Liu's waist, seemingly wanting Xu Enbo to see clearly that Huang Liu was carrying a pistol. As soon as he made this gesture, two people behind Xu Enbo immediately put their hands on his chest.
"I've already shot Yu Shiting, so I don't care about shooting your Dad too," Song Tianyao said to Xu Enbo.
Xu Enbo frowned slightly. "Are you crazy? Or drunk? Coming to the Xu Family to cause trouble?"
Song Tianyao walked step by step up the stairs towards the Xu Family's gate, stood in front of Xu Enbo, and said, word by word, "I told you, I even shot Yu Shiting, I don't care..."
Suddenly, the roar of an engine came from afar. A Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 was speeding towards them. Finally, a screeching sound of brakes rang out, and the four tires left four black marks on the road before stopping right next to Song Tianyao's car!
The car door opened, and Lu Yuanchun, dressed in an elegant dress, stepped out of the driver's seat. She looked at Song Tianyao, who was confronting Xu Enbo, and her usually calm face was now covered with frost, her eyes sharp!
After a standoff of more than ten seconds, the roar of another car engine sounded. Lu Rongfang and Pan Guoyang hurriedly arrived in their car. Lu Rongfang wiped the cold sweat from her face, and seeing that Lu Yuanchun was alright, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, leaning against the hood of the car, panting.
"Chunmei, you don't need to rush to be reincarnated!"
Song Tianyao's gaze swept over the faces of Lu Rongfang, Pan Guoyang, and Lu Yuanchun, before finally settling on Xu Enbo in front of him. "I want to see Uncle Sheng. I'll smash Yu Shiting's head open. If you dare utter a word of dissent today, I won't hesitate to smash yours too."
"Go ahead and try if you dare." Xu Enbo turned away with disgust. "I'm afraid of you..."
"Fuck your mother!" Song Tianyao suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed Xu Enbo's hair, and tried to slam Xu Enbo's head against the Xu Family's gate!
Xu Enbo stiffened his neck, turned around, and pulled Song Tianyao's hand away. "You're insane! Get them out of here!"
Several members of the Xu Family behind Xu Enbo immediately stepped forward, trying to pull Song Tianyao away. At this moment, Lu Yuanchun ran over first and suddenly raised his hand to slap Song Tianyao across the face!
The sudden turn of events startled everyone. Lu Yuanchun stood before Song Tianyao, his voice tinged with urgency and anxiety. "Have you had enough? Possessed by a ghost? Should I go back to Malaya to get a shaman to exorcise it for you?"
Song Tianyao touched his cheek and suddenly laughed, "Men on the left, women on the right. My face, the left side was hit by Yu Shiting, and the right side was hit by you."
Because of Lu Yuanchun's interruption, Xu Enbo had already returned to the Xu Family, and the gate of the Xu Family slowly closed.
"You are not Song Tianyao now. Song Tianyao wouldn't be so aggressive and trouble-making," Lu Yuanchun said, staring into Song Tianyao's eyes.
What kind of person is Song Tianyao?
Lu Yuanchun began, "Song Tianyao should have remained silent and at least figured out his position and qualifications in this turmoil. He..."
Song Tianyao gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "You need to understand one thing: does Song Tianyao have the right to think for himself about his own position and qualifications in this whole mess? If I don't rush to overturn the table, I won't even get a drop of soup!"
"You want to slack off?" Lu Yuanchun's eyes lit up.
Song Tianyao brought his mouth close to Lu Yuanchun's earlobe and whispered, "I want to touch you."
