Lian Jun decided not to talk to hiht reveal so watched

Since he didn't get a response, shi+ Jin opened his ain, but Gua One finally couldn't endureHe put a hand on the teenager's shoulder and pulled hiave Gua Two a glance saying “look after him,” then pushed Lian Jun a little faster

Gua Two caught the “baggage” thrown at him and put a hand over shi+ Jin'sattacked and twisted, trying to jab his fingers into Gua Two's eyes

A bit rowdy, the group moved toward the restaurant for lunchUnexpectedly, Phanto Lian Jun's nalanced at Old Ghost and Fei Yujing, who approached rapidlyHis gaze pausing on the lawyer, he asked, “Do you need , Old Ghost?”

“I want to have lunch with you,” the ers forles

Lian Jun saw it and nodded“Co, the lawyer I invitedMy business had soht up in itHe's here to help solve it,” Old Ghost explained and made introductions“And this is Lian Jun, the leader of Annihilation”

Fei Yujing offered his hand to Lian Jun, his manner polite and respectful: “Pleased to meet you”

Lian Jun shook his hand but didn't say anything in replyHe nodded then signaled Gua One to continue pushi+ng him to the restaurant

Old Ghost was surprised—just now, Lian Jun very obviously gave Fei Yujing the cold shoulder, but Lian Jun was by no means the kind of person ould be rude to someone he met for the first timeHe frowned then asked, voice low, “Have youshook his head, neverhis eyes away from shi+ Jin, who tried very hard to pretend his brother was nothing round sceneryHe pondered for a moment“MrLian's attitude should be because of certain personal reasonsDon't worry, it won't affect your business”

Old Ghost had complete confidence in hi hiroup entered a box

shi+ Jin felt Fei Yujing's gaze on him from time to time and continued to pretend not to noticeHe sat at the far end of the table with Gua Nine, eating quietly

Since Phantom's leader was present, everyone was on their best behaviornobody spoke, except for Lian Jun, Old Ghost, and Fei Yujing

After exchanging the usual pleasantries, Old Ghost finally got to the point

“My business in the southeast has gone wrong, and it's confirles' leader, Zuo Yang, is ambitious—what he wants is not your position, but a position higher than yoursAccording to anizations, that's whyles stirred up trouble forit out with the able to do business is fine, however, I must protect er tapped on the wheelchair armrest“So?”

“So I hired MrFei and prepared to leave the underworldI'll use financial crimes as a pretext and ask the authorities to use official channels to let my people be extradited back to the countryThis is the safest way I can think of” Old Ghost explained his plan frankly and without reserve, his attitude sincere

Lian Jun, likely having already guessed the other leader's purpose in co to hiles and the local organizations who grabbed your people, what's more, across the border—the official hand doesn't stretch that far”

Old Ghost replied, “It indeed doesn't, but yours does”

This was a request for help

Gua One and Gua Two shot the azes returned to their plates as if nothing happened

Lian Jun didn't respondThe atmosphere became somewhat oppressive for a whileIt was obvious Old Ghost was ie Lian Jun to give him an immediate answer

“Excuse , quiet until now, suddenly spoke upHe looked straight at shi+ Jin, as engrossed in gnawing a spare rib

Like one, everyone at the table raised their heads and turned to stare at the teenager

shi+ Jin, suddenly finding himself at the center of attention, froze , then at Lian Jun, his expression innocent

“His my subordinate, code na“Why, is MrFei interested inlooked away frohtly, “A bitI haven't seen so timeIt's an experience”

His words ihtly

shi+ Jin spit out the bone, wiped his lips with a napkin, then retorted, “I didn't expect MrFei to have such ht so theirdecades of his life must have been exceptionally bitterJun-shao, it seems the way I eat disturbs MrFeiWould you like me to leave?”

“No need” Lian Jun stopped him, his tone faint“Gua Three, let the staff prepare another table for MrFei”

Gua Three set down his chopsticks and got up

The others focused on their

Old Ghost hadn't expected the situation to beco that Lian Jun really intended to have Fei Yujing sit at another table, he hurriedly took on the role of a peacemaker: he appeased shi+ Jin with a few sentences and stood up to try to stop Gua Three

Lian Jun could e but couldn't do the same to Old Ghost, so he allowed Gua Three to come backHowever, his attitude became colder

shi+ Jin stuffed another spare rib in hisat his brother provocatively

Fei Yujing returned his stare, not at all embarrassedOn the contrary, his expression was contemplative

Later, Old Ghost tried to pick up the previous topic, but Lian Jun wasn't willing to play along and avoided it with great finesseYet, the ent—as lunch came to an end, Phanto decided to go for broke, he said, “Jun-shao, if you help les”

This was a huge sacrificePhantom kept a low profile and never provoked trouble if it could help itNow, to obtain a favor from Lian Jun, its leader practically offered to become his pawn

Yet Lian Jun reles”

All his entreaties ignored, Old Ghost was getting visibly testyAbruptly, Fei Yujing broke the silence again“I'm sorry,” he said towards shi+ Jin

shi+ Jin blinked, unable to understand what the hell his brother was playing atAnd, to his surprise, he saw his progress bar drop back to 550

Lian Jun looked at Fei Yujing and finally eased up a bitHe said, “Old Ghost, I can deliver your e to the authorities and ask them to cooperate with your plan, but I won't help you with the southeastYour brothers' lives are important—my brothers' lives are equally important”

At first, Old Ghost's expression turned happy, but by the end of Lian Jun's words, it becaritted his teeth and forced out, “Actually, there is another reason why I was targeted by Nine Eagles”

Theto come clean

Inexplicably, the atmosphere became less tenseLian Jun leaned back in his wheelchair“Speak”

Seeing his attitude, how could Old Ghost not realize who lost their psychological war? He sighed inwardly, accepting his defeat, and said, “My subordinates discovered Nine Eagles was looking for the doctor that used to work for you and found a clue in the southeast”

The ated the instant these words left his ht and staring at Old Ghost

“Keep eating” Lian Jun knocked on the table

Everyone took control of their e was norh actually, all of their attention was on Phantom's leader

shi+ Jin also looked at Old Ghost with a slight frownHis intuition told hi to do with the state of Lian Jun's body, and his heart tightened

The strange athtforwardly revealed all he knew: “After discovering Nine Eagles' movements, I ordered my subordinates to pay attention to themThey followed their trail to a small, not well-known hospitalOn the surface, it seems to be just an old coanization as a place to store goodsThe doctor who betrayed you has been hiding there all these yearsHe had plastic surgery and changed his identity—if Nine Eagles hadn't been watching him, I would've never found him suspicious”

Lian Jun cal then asked, “What happened to him?”

Old Ghost clenched his fists“He was taken away by Nine Eagles after my subordinates tried to approach hiainNo one here was a fool—they were clear what Phantom's leader's intentions had beenThe “approach” hein contact with that person, but an atteles' handsAs for his purpose—needless to say, it was the saainst Annihilation or Lian Jun

Unfortunately, Phantorab but also suffered Nine Eagles' retaliationNow, they were driven out of the southeast where they advanced two years ago, and Old Ghost had no other recourse but to coainst to ask for helpThis behavior was nothing if not contemptibleIt was no wonder he was reluctant to disclose the whole truth—forget helping him save his people, he would be lucky if Lian Jun didn't kill him
