355: Chapter 355: King Su!
At the hotel entrance, a group of renowned businessmen and celebrities respectfully approached and greeted the head of the Huang Family!
The man before them was none other than the head of the Huang Family, his status and power overwhelming.
Everyone feared the Huang Family and eagerly sought to establish connections.
Huang Datong slowly nodded, his gaze quickly swept over to Su Wanqiao at the entrance.
“Ms.
Su, young Mr.
Lin Shuang, what a coincidence,” Huang Datong said with a smile, making his way through the crowd directly to Su Wanqiao and the two exchanged greetings.
Su Wanqiao nodded slightly, “Mr.
Huang, hello, I didn’t expect your family to also attend tonight’s thank-you banquet.
What a rare guest.”
“Times have changed, we old folks hardly get together for a bit of excitement,” Huang Datong laughed.
Just then, another fleet of cars arrived outside the hotel.
Surrounded by a horde of bodyguards, the head of the Xu Family, Xu Wenhao, also arrived at the scene.
Seeing the head of the Xu Family also appear, the guests at the hotel entrance were even more shocked.
What?
The head of the Huang Family attending, and now the head of the Xu Family too?
It was as if two underground emperors had shown up in succession.
A group of businessmen and celebrities hurried forward to greet them respectfully.
Both were figures who could turn the world upside down with a flick of their fingers.
Xu Wenhao gave a slight nod and also directly made his way through the crowd toward Su Wanqiao.
“Yo, Miss Su, you arrived quite early,” Xu Wenhao said with a smile, approaching Su Wanqiao to greet her.
When Xu Wenhao saw Huang Datong nearby, he laughed again, “Brother Huang, didn’t expect to see you here too.”
Huang Datong slowly nodded, “I rarely come out for these events, Brother Xu, what brings you here?”
Xu Wenhao laughed, “I’m also here for a bit of excitement.”
Just then, another row of imposing black cars arrived outside the hotel.
Protected by countless bodyguards, a young man slowly got out of a car.
Seeing this man, all the guests once again looked shocked.
What?!
The Crown Prince of the Zhang Family, Zhang Ding, was also here?!
The patriarch of the Zhang Family, father of Zhang Ding, had just been buried a few days ago.
Unexpectedly, today the Crown Prince of the Zhang Family would also attend this business thank-you banquet?
A group of guests rushed forward to greet him.
Zhang Ding’s gaze was cold as he merely glanced over these guests.
Then his eyes pierced through the crowd, fixed on Su Wanqiao and Lin Shuang.
Zhang Ding’s gaze was cold and indifferent.
He simply gave Lin Shuang a cold glance, then turned and walked into the hotel.
He brushed past Lin Shuang without much verbal exchange.
Lin Shuang was the man who had killed his father; how could he possibly engage in conversation with his father’s murderer?
However, just in that moment as they brushed past each other, Lin Shuang caught a glimpse of murderous intent in Zhang Ding’s eyes.
This Zhang Ding indeed had murderous intent in his eyes.
Soon, the heads of the Huang and Xu families entered the hotel together.
“Interesting,” Lin Shuang smirked, leaning in toward Su Wanqiao’s ear and speaking softly, “Tonight’s banquet is quite interesting; you’d better be careful.
Why don’t you call over some security personnel?”
Lin Shuang had also sensed something unusual about tonight’s dinner; it seemed not to be straightforward.
“What do you mean?
Are they going to make a move?
With the City Lord here in person tonight, they shouldn’t dare to mess around, right?” Su Wanqiao said, taken aback.
She too had sensed something was amiss.
In previous years, the four major families had never participated in a business thank-you banquet.
The underworld families didn’t want to attend such official gatherings for fear of trouble.
But today, three major families had all come to participate?
Something felt off.
“I saw murderous intent in Zhang Ding’s eyes; better be careful and stay on alert,” Lin Shuang warned softly.
Su Wanqiao nodded and immediately called her group’s bodyguards, mobilizing a team to come over and ensure her safety.
Meanwhile, Lin Shuang also gave Dong Yongping a heads up, asking him to dispatch people from the Peace Society to be ready to respond to emergencies.
…
At dusk, in another part of Shanghai City.
In a mysterious villa, Beiqiang sat at a tea table, sipping tea calmly.
Opposite him sat Feng Chengqiao, the wealthiest man in Z province, along with another mysterious middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man’s skin was dark, and he bore a fierce scar across his neck.
If someone from Su province saw this middle-aged man, they’d likely tremble in fear.
Because this man was none other than the grey emperor of Su province, Song Gaishi!
He had another nickname—King of Su!
King of Su Province!
Beiqiang was having a tea chat with these two formidable men.
“Beiqiang, do you think tonight’s operation will succeed?” Feng Chengqiao asked casually after a sip of hot tea.
Beiqiang smiled profoundly, “Tonight’s operation is just the prelude; those three major families are merely the bait.
Success or failure doesn’t really matter.
We are the real back-up plan.
Let’s see how things unfold tonight.
There’s no rush to act.”
“What if the three major families realize your scheme?” The silent King of Su, Song Gaishi, suddenly spoke.
Beiqiang slowly shook his head, “Impossible, my strategy is seamless; they won’t anticipate it.”
Feng Chengqiao laughed along, “Indeed, how could the prestigious three centuries-old families imagine that they have been turned into chess pieces as bait?”
