861 I’m Here to Deal with This

Lin Yi waved his hand and pushed Wu Jinsong away. “Don’t block the way ahead. I’m still waiting to go in for dinner.”

The latter watched as Lin Yi and Liu Wenchang left.

The hotel lobby was extremely quiet. They were so frightened that they could not speak.

Who was this person?

How dare he speak to Fifth Master’s son in such a tone?

Moreover, this was Fifth Master’s territory. Was he tired of living?

The two of them walked to the elevator, and the people who had been waiting for the elevator made way for them while keeping a meter away from them.

They were afraid that Wu Jinsong would misunderstand and a.s.sume that they had a relationship with the duo.

“Aren’t you guys taking the elevator?” Liu Wenchang probed.

“I’m not, I’m not. You guys go first. We’ll wait for the next lift.”

Liu Wenchang’s heart raced as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He followed Lin Yi into the elevator in a panic.

However, the moment he entered, Liu Wenchang was like mud. He gripped the elevator railing tightly, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

“We’re taking the elevator, not bungee jumping. Why are you so nervous?” Lin Yi asked.

“Boss Lin, we’re finished. Fifth Master already knows that we’ve taken away the project in the new economic zone.”

“Isn’t that great? We won’t have to waste our breath. Besides, didn’t we come here today to deal with this matter?”

“It’s mainly because we can’t handle it. There are so many people here. Just their spit alone can drown the two of us. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have come.”

“It’s over.” Lin Yi said.

“You can hide from him, but you can’t hide from him forever. Even if you don’t come to meet him, he would eventually come to you.”

“Most importantly, you just scolded Wu Jinsong. This makes things even more unpleasant.”

“Don’t worry. Just follow me boldly. I guarantee that you’ll get out of here alive.”

Liu Wenchang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

He was really unlucky.

The elevator quickly went to the third floor. After the door opened, it revealed the banquet hall.

Lin Yi looked ahead. The banquet hall was huge, measuring at least a thousand square meters, and it was dazzling.

The people who came to attend the birthday banquet were all in formal attire. Their every move was elegant.

The elevator door opened and Lin Yi and Liu Wenchang walked out.

The people attending the banquet subconsciously looked at the two of them.

Some of them didn’t think much of it and continued to do their own things.

This was because they did not know that Liu Wenchang had s.n.a.t.c.hed Fifth Master’s project.

However, there were still some big shots present who had heard about this long ago.

Initially, they thought that the people from Chaoyang Group would not dare to come here. It turned out that they were bold enough to really come.

“President Lin, those people all looked at us. They probably already know about this,” Liu Wenchang said carefully and nervously.

“If they know, so be it.” Lin Yi said indifferently.

“At dinner just now with Wu Zhaoyou, I drank too much and didn’t eat much food. After a few trips to the bathroom, my stomach is empty now.”

Liu Wenchang even wanted to die.

Now was not the time to focus on eating.

Lin Yi looked around and walked towards a corner.

There were not many people there. It was just right to eat there.

Because the banquet was self-service, Lin Yi didn’t stand on ceremony. He took a lot of food and went to a corner to eat.

“Is that Wu Tianfu here yet?” Lin Yi said as he ate.

“He’s today’s protagonist. He would not come here so early. We’ll probably have to wait for a while,” Liu Wenchang said softly.

“Then let’s wait a little longer. If we don’t have enough to eat, we won’t have enough strength.”

“Mr. Lin?”

Just as Lin Yi was eating, he heard someone call his name.

She looked up and saw a woman in a red evening gown.

The woman had a good-looking oval face. She was tall and had exquisite makeup. Among the people attending the banquet, she was considered amongst the most outstanding.

Lin Yi looked at the woman in front of him and felt that she looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered who she was.

She seemed to be Ning Yue’s boyfriend’s sister.

They had eaten together the last time he came to Yangcheng.

She seemed to be called Qu Bing. That should be her name.

“What a coincidence, you’re here too,” Lin Yi replied.

“My friend brought me here today. It’s a good opportunity to broaden my horizons.” Qu Bing smiled and said.

“With Mr. Lin’s wealth, you should have received an official invitation, right?”

“Not really. I snuck in to freeload.”

Qu Bing smiled awkwardly. ‘With your wealth, you still want to freeload?’

Did he have to be so low-key?

“Bingbing, what are you doing here?”

Just as the two of them were talking, a woman in a white low-cut tuxedo walked up to Qu Bing in a panic and pulled her away from Lin Yi.

Her name was Feng Peipei, and she was Qu Bing’s best friend.

She was the one who brought Qu Bing to today’s birthday banquet.

“What’s wrong, Peipei? I met a friend. I’m here to chat with him. Why are you so fl.u.s.tered?”

“Get away from them, or you’ll get into trouble.”

“Huh? What trouble?”

“Haven’t you heard? They s.n.a.t.c.hed the project that Fifth Master took a fancy to. Don’t you think this matter is serious?”

Qu Bing was stunned. This news surprised her.

Clearly, she, who was born and raised in Yangcheng, immediately realized the seriousness of this matter.

Although Lin Yi was also born and raised in Yangcheng, he was very poor in the past and hadn’t reached the upper cla.s.s, so he didn’t know Wu Tianfu as well as Qu Bing.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course I’m sure,” Feng Peipei said nervously.

“I heard that Fifth Master was very angry when he found out about this. In any case, stay away from them. Don’t provoke them. When the time comes, your Qu family will also be implicated.”

Qu Bing frowned, her expression conflicted.

“But we’re not just friends. My brother and his sister are in a relationship and we can be considered relatives. I can’t leave at this time.”

“I’m fine.” Lin Yi said.

“If you’re afraid, leave first. This is our private matter. It’s not good if we implicate you.”

“Look at what you’re saying. What would happen if I left?” Qu Bing said.

“This should be a misunderstanding. When the time comes, you can explain it to Fifth Master and return the project to him. It won’t be a big problem.”

“Why would we give him the project we got?”

“Well …”

Qu Bing paused for a moment. “Mr. Lin, I know you have a lot of power in Zhonghai, but Wu Tianfu’s reputation in Yangcheng is really not something ordinary people can compare to. Even if something happens, there will be people to protect him. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake. There’s no need to compete over this project. Otherwise, your business here will struggle to develop.”

“I know. That’s why I’m here today. I’m getting ready to deal with this matter. Otherwise, why would anyone come all the way here?”
