Qi Dongsheng had never thought that he would be caught by his nemesis even on the cruise.
He had been cautious and even avoided taking planes for this trip to j.a.pan fearing any public records on his pa.s.sport. Therefore, he had chosen to take the cruise. The tourism company operated the cruise offered a much more streamlined process that didn’t require stringent record keeping at the border. However, Din Duhai somehow was still able to catch a whiff of him and came after him. Worse, Yang Qinhu had accompanied him as well.
“We must have a mole inside of Dong Sheng.”
Qi Dongsheng cursed in his mind.
Without a source inside of his company, Din Duhai would never discover his itinerary. The mole must be hidden very deep among the high-level management of the Dong Sheng Group. Qi Dongsheng had kept his trip a secret to most people in the company, including his son.
However, that would be a problem he had to deal with later, his priority right now was to get out of the current mess he is in.
“Lord Yang, I apologize for our misunderstanding. You don’t have to come all the way from the northern border of China just to get involved with a trivial rivalry between me and Fu Hai.” Qi Dongsheng saluted to Yang Qinhu and said with a great measure of dignity.
“You think I have no idea what you are after? You had opened a branch in Sheng City right under my nose. Do you think I am blind?” The middle-aged man in plain clothes grinned.
Everyone in the room was shocked after they heard the middle-aged man’s name
“He is Yang Qinhu of Northeast China! He is Lord Yang, the Tiger!”
“He presided over the northern border of China with Russia, what is he doing here?”
Qi Dongsheng is in trouble. Lord Yang is not easy to deal with. He pretty much runs the entire Outer Guan Region in North-East China.”
Many tyc.o.o.ns who were from Outer Guan Region were stunned by the development. They looked to Qi Dongsheng and shook their heads in dismay. Those who had met Yang Qinhu for the first time hurried to ask people around them for more information.
Qi Dongsheng, Din Duhai and Yang Qinhu.
All of them were mighty figures in Northern China. Their status in Northern China was no less than Tang Yuanqin in Jiang Nan Province, if not even higher. That was particularly the case for Yang Qinhu.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel shocked by the appearance of such a legendary figure.
The cruise manager had already snuck out of the room to inform his boss about the development. The security guards on the s.h.i.+p kept a wary eye on the cohort of brawny men in black suits, reluctant to confront them. Kon Jen’yu lingered on the stage for a short while and then hurried off the stage. She chose to sit right beside Chen Fan and Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, the only two younger-looking people among her audience.
“Hey, what do you think is going to happen?”
Kon Jen’yu came closer to Chen Fan, nudged him with her shoulder and asked.
“Are you talking to me? Do I know you?” Chen Fan was suddenly at a loss.
The girl threw the question at him with such levity and casualness that it was as if they were BFFs.
“You are sitting in the front row and are accompanied by such drop-dead gorgeous, of course, I noticed you!” Kon Jen’yu rolled her eyes at Chen Fan and said with a slight hint of annoyance.
Chen Fan was light-hearted by the girl’s reaction. However, the girl’s remark didn’t sit well with Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa. She rounded her eyes and flung back at Kon Jen’yu.
“One more word of disrespect toward Young Lord, I will throw you off the s.h.i.+p!”
“Tsk… He is a Young Lord? Are you some kind of rich heir?”
Kon Jen’yu batted her curious lashes at Chen Fan. This young starlet had just risen to fame and seemed much less constrained and cautious when compared to Yun Qianqian or Li Xinru. She sounded more like a college girl rather than a professional entertainer.
“If you ask me, I say Yang Qinhu is going to win this round. I was born in Sheng City, you know, and I have heard of Lord Yang, the Tiger’s name. Everyone in the Outer Guan Region knew that he had enough power to do just about anything in Outer Guan Region.” Kon Jen’yu couldn’t stand Chen Fan’s silence, so she filled it in with her own words.
“Humph! Then he is lucky that the Young Lord is not from that region. Otherwise, he would know to come to our table and pay tribute to the Young Lord.” Yang Qinhu gave the girl a sidelong glance and reb.u.t.ted her with much rancor.
It was the first time Chen Fan realized that underneath Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s mask as the Queen of Kyushu’s underground world, she was just a little girl just like anyone of her age.
“Humph! Yea, yea, I have seen too many rich brats who were on their high horses. I knew one of them from Yan Jin who came to Sheng City and had messed with Lord Yang thinking he could get away with it. In the end, he left Sheng City with two broken legs. The supposedly ‘Powerful family’ of his didn’t even dare to speak out about it. That had served a lesson for many people in Sheng City and taught them to respect Lord Yang.” Kon Jen’yu said with a smirk. Seeing Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa was still not convinced, she continued.
“I have also heard from many of my clients that Lord Yang is a Kung Fu Master, and he killed a polar bear with his bare hands. He could easily wipe out a group of thugs armed with knives. Can you imagine those fat mom’s boys from the big city coming to face against a grizzled warrior of the North?”
“You are right, Yang Qinhu is a Martial Artist, and was ranked number twelve on the Heaven roll. No ordinary tyc.o.o.n would want to mess with him.” Chen Fan nodded in agreement.
Lu Tianyun presided over Lin City and dominated the entire Tian Nan Province. Hua Yunfeng had kept things in order in Zhong Hai and projected his influence across entire China. Du San claimed supremacy in Miao’s Land and had a strong following in Yun Gui Province. Yang Qinhu was the same as those powerful Grandmasters, and his territory was to the east of Chinese heartland, the so-called Outer Guan or Eastern Guan Region.
All these Grandmasters presided over their territory and secured their position with might and personal strength.
They seemed to have formed a symbiosis relations.h.i.+p with the government. On one hand, these grandmasters required the Government’s acuiacense to exist, meanwhile, they also offered service to the government by protecting the local area from invading elements. China is a big country and the special case departments with their limited resources and manpower was unable to cover the ground.
