Listening to Song Qiao’s words, Tao Jie quickly stood up and replied with utmost respect.
“Yes! Everything depends on you, sir!”
These people already knew Song Qiao’s true identity as the sect leader of Tongmen.
If he truly revealed his status, wouldn’t his reputation be fully restored?
It was a joke; for a sect leader to crush a deputy sect leader was as easy as playing a game.
Even when his father was alive, he couldn’t gain any advantage from Song Qiao.
Let alone Cheng Dong, a mere deputy sect leader!
Therefore, Tao Jie felt completely at ease.
Even if Cheng Dong wanted to seize the things held by the Tao family.
He only needed to cling tightly to Song Qiao.
With Song Qiao’s status as the Tongmen sect leader, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to subdue the entire Tongmen.
“Sect leader, what should we do now?”
Jiang Rou, unable to contain her curiosity, asked Song Qiao.
A smile played on Song Qiao’s lips. “Don’t worry, I already have a plan.”
“I think Tao Jie’s guess earlier was good, Cheng Dong probably wants to rise to power.”
“But as a deputy sect leader, to rise to power in Modu, he can’t avoid one person.”
Hearing Song Qiao say this, everyone’s eyes widened, and they said in unison, “Du Qin!”
Song Qiao nodded. “It’s Du Qin, also a deputy sect leader of Tongmen.”
“Du Qin and I are acquainted, so I can find him later to probe Cheng Dong’s true intentions.”
While they were discussing their plan, someone on the other side shouted loudly.
“Everyone, quick, look! Master Guo Shanhai is here!”
A loud shout drew everyone’s attention.
Especially the name of Master Guo Shanhai, which was resounding,
making it unforgettable even after hearing it once!
Under everyone’s gaze, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit, with his hair slicked back,
and looking like a gambling king, slowly walked into the venue.
No one dared to underestimate Guo Shanhai’s strength, and naturally, no one dared to comment on his appearance.
Because this man truly made his fortune through gambling!
But he didn’t gamble with dice or mahjong, but with jade!
There was a saying in the industry that any stone he handled could be bought with confidence.
In his more than ten years of practice, he had never misjudged.
Everything he authenticated was a priceless rare treasure!
Such a figure, even in a first-tier city like Modu, where talents were as common as dogs,
was an object of worship for many!
But there was one exception. When Song Qiao saw Guo Shanhai, he felt no reverence at all.
Instead, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, his smile filled with disdain, and said amusingly.
“Isn’t this my defeated opponent from last time?”
Last time, on the cruise ship, Guo Shanhai gambled with Song Qiao over stones and lost miserably.
He was almost thrown overboard to feed the fish!
Song Qiao hadn’t expected that the events on the cruise ship would become a secret.
There was no leakage whatsoever.
Everyone still revered Guo Shanhai to such an extent.
This was mainly due to the Guo family’s influence.
Of course, Song Qiao felt it might also be because he was too strong.
So people felt that even if Guo Shanhai lost, it wasn’t shameful.
From the enthusiastic discussions among the crowd, it was clear that almost no one knew about that secret.
They still firmly believed that Guo Shanhai was the only true god.
“But today is Miss Cheng’s birthday party, is Master Guo also here to join the fun?”
“Shh~ I don’t think it’s that simple. Look at how elaborately Master Guo is dressed, perhaps…”
“What? You think he’s the one! He’s over 30, and Miss Cheng is only in her early twenties.”
“What? You still think the Cheng family is at a disadvantage?”
“Not necessarily, I just feel a bit unhappy.”
Everyone knew that Cheng Dong had arranged a high-profile match for his daughter.
Guo Shanhai’s strength was unquestionable, and being able to ally with a family like the Guo family.
The Cheng family’s status in Modu would likely soar!
Even though Guo Shanhai was more than ten years older than Cheng Ran, age was never an issue.
The reason everyone felt unhappy was simply because that person wasn’t them.
Watching Guo Shanhai on stage, with a greasy face and looking triumphant.
Song Qiao suddenly wanted to go up and greet him.
He wanted to see what expression the other party would have when he saw him.
Just then, someone behind him gently patted his shoulder.
“Brigadier General Song, long time no see.”
Hearing this title, Song Qiao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Brigadier General was his identity in the Security Department. Now, someone was deliberately using this title to address him.
Could the other person also be a comrade from the Security Department?
Turning around, Song Qiao suddenly understood.
No wonder that Mrs. Shi looked familiar earlier; it turns out it was your wife!
That’s right! The person who arrived was none other than Shi Zhong, the deputy head of the Security Department!
