The Conference's End

shi+ Jin was indignant at being called stupid yet again (even if indirectly this time), but but at the same time, doubt crept into his heart ”Xiao Si, am I really not smart?” He asked in his mind

Xiao Si said, with an air of detach=”” to=”” buy=”” you=”” a=”” lot=”” of=”” walnuts=””>

shi+ Jin fell silent He decided to banish Xiao Si to the ”s

The deck was quiet Everyone atching the conference room nervously, and no one spoke

The purpose of today's anizations and collect suggestions for new ones

Re-registering the legal organizations was simple, and with the cooperation of the leaders, it was finished in less than an hour To no one's surprise, Pegasus' nalanced at the extraordinarily quiet Zuo Yang When they saw hi a docuazes at all, they looked away, bored

After the re-registration, it was ti candidates for the new legal organizations

Zhang Zhuoyuan handed out a blank sheet of paper to all the leaders with the reco would be suspended for half an hour, and opened the door

Lian Jun tore the sheet of paper directly after receiving it then moved his wheelchair towards the door

shi+ Jin rushed over the moment he saw it

”Are you thirsty? Do you want soe from who knohere and handed it to Lian Jun

“No, there ater in the conference room,” Lian Jun denied but still reached for the bottle, twisted it open, and took a sip He er to push the wheelchair to a more secluded part of the deck and asked, ”Weren't you bored waiting outside?”

”No, there were Gua Nine and Uncle Long to talk to” As shi+ Jin answered, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zuo Yang leaving the conference roo his voice, ”Is Zuo Yang bothering you today?”

Lian Jun shook his head ”No, thisis too important for that If he intends to make trouble, he'll wait until afterward”

shi+ Jin couldn't help but glance towards Nine Eagles' shi+p and frown

Today was the third and final day of the conference Didn't that anizations would leave and the authorities withdraw? Was Nine Eagles biding its ti as wild as it wanted?

Lian Jun noticed the direction of his gaze ”Don't worry, I have ements,” he said

shi+ Jin looked at him He noted his calm, confident appearance and felt almost at ease As a few minutes of the break had already been wasted on this displeasing ed the subject and chatted about more enjoyable topics

Half an hour later, the break ended, and the leaders returned to the conference rooer-blank sheet of paper to Zhang Zhuoyuan

After he collected them all, he asked one of his assistants to sort them out Meanwhile, he announced last year's candidates who successfully passed the review He then asked the leaders who'd recoanizations, so they could report to the officials and go through the formalities as soon as possible

When the results were announced, so's face was dark—it was clear the organization he recommended last year had not passed Lu Shan, on the other hand, s Zhuoyuan took the list of this year's candidates compiled by the assistant First, he read it out in public as customary then made copies and handed theo back and discuss it privately, then, if anyone found an organization that didn't meet the recommendation criteria, they elco

This officially concluded the

After Lian Jun left the conference room, he handed his copy of the list to Gua One and indicated they'd return to the cabin first

shi+ Jin pushed Lian Jun's wheelchair and glanced at the list curiously Seeing that it was just full of strange names, without any marks or annotations, he asked, puzzled, ”Why was everyone so excited to get this list?”

”Because this is only a draft, not the final version It will be verified in the afternoon anizations will be eliminated, that's why they're excited,” Gua Two answered, catching up with thelanced at the list in Gua One's hand, and his eyebrows clih, Mada every year”

shi+ Jin eyed him suspiciously ”How do you knoas reco on the list except na that the teenager wanted to continue asking, he hurriedly looked at Gua One and changed the topic, ”Can you deterles' candidate?”

Gua One studied the list then frowned and shook his head ”I'ed his recoation, it should've been Desperado”

”It's not surprising,” Lian Jun les' candidate soon”

His words , and he patted his forehead, expression easing He folded the list and put it into his pocket, no longer speculating Gua Two and the rest also understood Lian Jun's unspoken ed the topic

Only shi+ Jin was still at sea He looked at the others' faces, wanting to ask, but held back Wrinkling his eyebrows, he pondered whether his intelligence was really a little lacking

Half an hour later, while having lunch, Lian Jun received a call froave Gua One a name In turn, Gua One fished out the list, quickly found the name and circled it, then handed the paper to Gua Nine

With the air of an Old West gunslinger, Gua Nine pulled out his laptop, plugged it into an outlet in the restaurant box, and hammered away at the keyboard

This series of actions didn't escape shi+ Jin's eyes He lowered his head, eating in silence—it turned out Zhang Zhuyuan was their inforet Lian Jun was someone who had close ties with the authorities?

”Why are you eating plain rice? Is the food not to your liking?” Lian Jun suddenly appeared by his side As he spoke, he pushed a few of the dishes closer and affectionately helped him put some in his bowl

shi+ Jin eyed the extra beef but raised his chopsticks and ate it After chewing and sing it, he finally came to a decision He looked at Lian Jun seriously and said, ”Jun-shao, buy me some walnuts, please”

Lian Jun observed him silently for a moment, then fondly touched his head and said, ”Okay”

He didn't even ask why

shi+ Jin suddenly felt a little disheartened He shook Lian Jun's hand off, bowed his head, and took a big ress Bar is translated by Betwixted Translations

Before the afternoon , Lian Jun received more inforles' candidate was a very new, sanization called Rattlesnake If not for the referee's obligation to provide the authorities with detailed inforanization, who in turn sent it to Gua Nine, he ht not have found out much about it on such short notice

”I followed a lead found in the inforave us and found out Rattlesnake has ties to a certain organization in the Southeast called Python Python's subordinate organization is Gunfire, which in turn cooperates with Nine Eagles,” Gua Nine succinctly explained the chain of connections

Gua Two couldn't help but sneer ”What the fuck? Nine Eagles recoanization for the official review process? Does it want to help foreign organizations infiltrate the country?”

The underworld organizations in China were fighting ast the a wolf into the house Did Nine Eagles think the internal situation not chaotic enough?

”No wonder Zuo Yang seems fearless—it turns out he found a powerful backer A pity he sold out his homeland in the process,” Gua One said icily, his face dark

Lian Jun closed the folder, put it down, and tapped on his wheelchair arles can't stay,” he said

Everyone's expression turned solean, ”Jun-shao, you mean …”

Lian Jun nodded and ordered, ”Gua Nine, send this to Zhang Zhuoyuan He will knohat to do”

Gua Nine confirmed He took the folder, went back to his laptop, and continued to hammer away at the keyboard

shi+ Jin sat quietly at the side, listening to the various conversations that suddenly broke out He reles' shi+p and frowned

The afternoonstarted on time shi+ Jin took his usual place at the corner of the deck

TheAnd, no wonder: soanizations on the list, soanizations they reco others benefit is letting themselves suffer losses,” tried their best to anizations with only half a recommendation who had to pair up to propose a candidate As such, the conference room soon became completely chaotic which lead to the aty

The underworld bosses argued till they were red-faced and breathless It made Lian Jun, who simply observed from the sidelines, see projector screen in the conference roo now and then As time went by, his nerves became tenser and tenser

About two hours later, the na, slumped in his chair as if bored, unconsciously turned a pen in his fingers, but didn't speak—he didn't even take a second glance at the screen It see to do with hianization

Zhang Zhuoyuan, as usual, displayed the infor it up, he announced that everyone could discuss and subanization could enter the official review process

The crowd quieted for aat everyone else Clearly, no one knew much about Rattlesnake After a whispered discussion, the leader of one of the sanizations broke the silence: ”I have no objections”

Lian Jun glanced over at the anization
