"Rumei, come over here," Lin Shuang beckoned.
Lin Rumei quickly brought Jiang Chen and Ding Yan to her father's side, and the three sat down. Lin Shuang scrutinized Jiang Chen. He had heard his daughter mention him before and knew that Jiang Chen was a martial arts expert. However, upon seeing him, he was somewhat surprised; Jiang Chen did not quite fit the image of a martial arts master. Although he had his doubts, Lin Shuang still trusted his daughter's judgment.
"Mr. Jiang, I've heard Rumei speak of you. Meeting you today, it's clear you possess an extraordinary demeanor," Lin Shuang said politely.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly but did not respond. Instead, his gaze swept around the room before finally settling on the tea table in the center.
At that table sat an elderly man and a robust middle-aged man covered in tattoos.
"Mr. Jiang, that elderly gentleman is Elder Liang, and the man beside him is Sang Ming," Lin Rumei whispered quickly.
Sang Ming noticed Jiang Chen looking at him but paid no mind; he hardly considered a young man worth his attention.
"Is everyone here? Then let's get down to business. I gathered everyone here today because I believe we all understand the situation. Some among us are starting to seek redemption. Of course, wanting to redeem oneself is your own right, but if it means we can't make money, then that's not acceptable," Sang Ming said with a smirk.
"I think there's no need for such people to occupy territory; it would be better to divide it up," Sang Ming added with a smile that didn't reach his eyes as he glanced at Lin Shuang.
"Sang Ming, if you have something to say, just say it directly. No need for roundabout talk," Lin Shuang replied coldly.
"Haha, since Boss Lin insists on being straightforward, I'll be blunt as well. Boss Lin, I've heard you're cleaning up your territory more strictly than the police do. This isn't how things are done in our line of work. If you can't manage your own territory, I'll take over for you—of course, I'll pay you an annual fee as compensation," Sang Ming sneered.
"My territory is not for you to manage, Sang Ming. Let me make this clear: as long as I am here, you will never get your hands on my territory. We can coexist peacefully for now, but don't push your luck; otherwise, it will end badly for both of us," Lin Shuang warned in a deep voice.
"End badly? Haha, you really overestimate yourself. Don't forget who I have by my side," Sang Ming replied smugly.
"Sang Ming, don't get too cocky. Just because you have Elder Liang backing you doesn't mean we're afraid of you. If you can invite Elder Liang, we can certainly invite others too. By the way, let me introduce you: this is Mr. Jiang, a top-tier martial arts expert." Lin Rumei's voice rose in anger as she spoke out against Sang Ming's arrogance.
At her words, all eyes turned to "Mr. Jiang," including Elder Liang's, who raised his eyelids slightly with newfound interest in this martial arts master.
However, upon seeing Jiang Chen's appearance again, Elder Liang lowered his eyelids once more, appearing uninterested.
Sang Ming openly displayed a mocking smile. "Miss Lin, what did you say? Did I hear correctly? This kid is a top-tier martial arts expert? Haha," he laughed boisterously.
"Sang Ming, to be honest, even Elder Liang might not be a match for Mr. Jiang. You'd better show some respect; otherwise, you'll find out how quickly things can go south," Lin Rumei said with a frown and a serious tone.
