Yang Da took the Jade Ring back, and then Guo Tao took it in his hand, examined it, and extended his right hand.

"Alright, the grudges from over twenty years ago, as of today, we completely wipe the slate clean. If there are any disputes in the future, they can only be business-related. We will not initiate anything else."

"Good, I've been waiting for these words from you, Liuzai. It wasn't in vain that I brought so many people from overseas. Now that we've taken control of this hotel, I'll make a call and everyone should back off immediately, no one will cause trouble here."

"Do you really believe those people you call 'yours' can truly control this place?"

Liuzai suddenly said leisurely, at the time Yang Da just looked at him bewildered.

"What do you mean, Liuzai?"

"It means nothing, go ahead and make your call."

Although he didn't understand what Liuzai meant, Yang Da still calmly made the call.

However, he found the phone impossible to connect with. It had always been smooth communication between him and his people until now; such a thing had never happened.

Especially at critical moments during a mission, it was absolutely unthinkable to not be able to establish a connection.

If that was the case, it was very likely that this place had already been taken over by someone else, and all his people had lost their freedom.

"Liuzai, what... what's going on?"

"Did you really think I came here unprepared? All your reinforcements have been taken care of by my men; hence, they cannot get in touch with you right now."

"Heh, Liuzai, with you getting involved, all of this, I believe, should pose no threat. And that includes the members of the Scorpion Gang and those U12 members."

"Rest assured, everyone is under my control. I simply don't want any trouble now. If you seek trouble, believe it or not, I can make sure neither of you two will be able to leave this place."

"Yes, Liuzai, I understand. I understand. I thank you for your magnanimity in forgiving all of our actions,"

"Let's end today's matter here. From henceforth, I don't want to speak of this again.

"Alright, Liuzai, you can be assured. By the way, it's been a long time since we last met, right? Shouldn't we have a good sit down and a drink tonight?"

"I don't think that's necessary. Also, I've been abroad for years and wouldn't be here if it weren't for this matter. So, when the time is right, I'll make a timely retreat. From now on, I hope you manage on your own without my intervention, got it?"

"Yes, Liuzai, we understand."

"Alright, both of you can leave now. Ye Chen, you stay."

After saying this, Guo Tao and Yang Da stood up and walked to the door. When Guo Tao turned his head, he exchanged a look with Ye Chen.

The two just smiled at each other quietly. Guo Tao nodded firmly at him, and then the two left directly without looking back.

"President Guo, what do you think? Should I arrange an apology feast for you tonight? Today, we've reconciled after all."

"There's no need for that. I told you, this was just to give the old man face. If the old man wasn't here, the outcome could have been very different."

"Indeed, I know the outcome could even be uncertain, but sadly, once the old man takes action, neither of our families has any power to retaliate. By the way, my nephew, I can take him away, right?"

"You can, I already told you, my men will have pulled out by now. Take him back and make sure you treat him well, remember, treat him well."

"Heh, then there's no need for your concern. Also, I have another man who should be here with you, right?"

"Oh, you mean your Hei Hu?"

"That's right, where is he now? Should I also take him away?"

"Take him, but the man is basically done for. He's on the top floor. I will arrange for someone to bring him down immediately; you just wait outside."

"And as for that other person, should we track him?"

"The old man has been chasing him for so many years now, and still, there's no trace to this day. So, I believe it's beyond our capabilities."

"Damn it, I didn't expect to be fooled by him for so many years. If I had known it would come to this, I definitely wouldn't have let him off."

"Alright, I have other matters to attend to. Hereafter, when we meet in the business field, we must not hold back. Prepare yourself mentally for that."

"Heh, alright President Guo, I'm just waiting for that day to come. Until we meet again, President Guo."

With that, he turned around and, together with his men, left in a whirl of dust.

"Old man, where's Ye Chen? Why didn't he come out?"

After Li Gu came out, he saw that only Guo Tao and Yang Da had left, but Ye Chen's figure was nowhere to be seen, and neither was Anying.

"Liuzai has kept Ye Chen here. I guess there's something he needs to explain. Let's wait aside for now; I reckon Miss Lin will soon arrive here to meet with Liuzai. Thus, we shouldn't disturb them and just wait over there."

"Okay, I got it. So, this matter has been completely resolved, right?"

"There's no help for it. Once Liuzai intervenes, we're left without any power to not settle it. Besides, if I'm not wrong, U12's members have already been controlled by Liuzai's men."

"If Liuzai brings people over, then it wouldn't matter who they are – U12, foreign mercenaries, Scorpion Gang members, none of them are a match for him. Liuzai's background and power are just too formidable."

"Yes, if his power hadn't reached this level, who would be able to take Liuzai seriously? But there's no helping it; that's how the old man is. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, I'm heading back to my room."

After saying this, Guo Tao simply pointed in a direction, and then he followed Li Fu and Ada into a room nearby, starting to wait patiently therein.
