Who would have thought that Ding Zongshu was so incompetent? He was wiped out by the Sanlian Gang in just a few days. Thinking of this, Minister Hou looked a little irritated. He waved his hand, signaling his secretary to leave, and then picked up the phone to call Zhou Chaoxian.

"Chao Xian, come to my villa."

Zhou Chao nodded and said, "No problem, I'll be there right away."

Chapter Ninety-Six: The Boss Lady, the Spirit Bone Tower

After Zhou Chaoxian hung up the phone, he knew that Minister Hou must have called him because of Ding Zongshu's matter, so he asked his subordinate Sanpao to prepare a car to go to Minister Hou's villa.

Half an hour later, Zhou Chaoxian arrived at Minister Hou's villa with Sanpao. They were welcomed in by Minister Hou's men. Zhou Chaoxian sat down in front of Minister Hou with a smile on his face, making no attempt to hide his expression.

He couldn't wait for Ding Zongshu to die. That bastard was always going against him, and he had long disliked Ding Zongshu.

Minister Hou, with a gloomy expression, sat alone smoking a cigar and didn't waste any words when he saw Zhou Chaoxian.

“Ding Zongshu was a native of Tainan City, after all. The Sanlian Gang wiped him out without a word and even took over his territory. Go and contact the Sanlian Gang and make them give me an explanation.”

No matter what, Ding Zongshu was a good dog raised by Minister Hou. If the Sanlian Gang couldn't give him an explanation this time, he would definitely take action.

Now that someone has been killed, Minister Hou will definitely stand up for Ding Zongshu. If the Sanlian Gang cannot give him a satisfactory explanation, he will make sure they get out of Tainan City just as they entered from Taipei City.

After all, Minister Hou wields considerable power, and targeting the Sanlian Gang members currently in Tainan City would not be difficult.

Zhou Chaoxian nodded and said, "Minister Hou, I understand. I'll contact the Sanlian Gang later."

Minister Hou looked somewhat annoyed: "Then get on with it as soon as possible."

After saying this, Minister Hou asked Zhou Chaoxian to leave. Zhou Chaoxian also got up and left the villa. After getting into the van, he instructed Sanpao:

"Go and contact Ren Jiu, the head of the Yi Zi Tang branch of the Sanlian Gang. I need to meet with Ren Jiu."

Sanpao nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, boss."

Soon, a day later, Sanpao arranged for someone to pass on the news that Zhou Chaoxian was going to meet with Ren Jiu. In the chairman's office of Qiangwei Group, Chen Guilin knocked on the door and entered with a respectful expression:

"Boss."

Ren Jiu waved his hand, sat down in the boss's chair, and asked, "What's up, Guilin boy?"

Chen Guilin said, "Boss, Zhou Chaoxian from Songlin Company in Tainan City wants to meet with you."

Ren Jiu had read Black Gold and knew that Zhou Chaoxian was a powerful figure. After thinking for a moment, he said:

“If you arrange for him to come to the Qiangwei Group headquarters, I’d like to meet with him.”

Chen Guilin nodded: "Yes, boss."

After saying that, Chen Guilin called Sanpao and said, "Our boss is willing to meet with Mr. Zhou, but Mr. Zhou has to come to the headquarters of Qiangwei Group."

Sanpao nodded and said, "I will ask our boss for his opinion."

After saying that, Chen Guilin hung up the phone and waited for news.

……

The next morning, Zhou Chaoxian led his top lieutenant, Sanpao, and a convoy of cars directly from Tainan City to the headquarters of the Qiangwei Group in Taipei City.

As they approached the headquarters building, Sanpao, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Zhou Chaoxian in the back and said:

"Boss, we're almost at the headquarters of Qiangwei Group."

Because they were driving Rolls-Royces leading the way, not Mazdas, there was no traffic jam.

Zhou Chaoxian looked outside and saw several rows of burly men in black suits standing at the entrance of the Qiangwei Group's headquarters building not far away, clearly there to greet them, making quite a show of force.

Zhou Chaoxian squinted. He had to admit that the Triads were indeed quite powerful.

After Zhou Chaoxian's convoy stopped, Chen Guilin was waiting at the door. When he saw Zhou Chaoxian coming over, he smiled and greeted him.

"I am Chen Guilin, a subordinate of the big boss. I came here specifically to wait for your visit, Mr. Zhou. Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Chaoxian nodded slightly, very politely, shook hands with Chen Guilin, and then looked at the pomp and circumstance of the Sanlian Gang. There were more than 200 burly men in black suits standing there.

They were all dressed in black suits, making quite a show of themselves. These underlings were incredibly imposing, clearly not comparable to ordinary short mules.

After the two sides finished greeting each other, Chen Guilin gestured, and the young man in the black suit parted to make way for him, smiling as he said:

"Mr. Zhou, please."

Zhou Chaoxian looked at the strength of the Sanlian Gang without caring, and led Sanpao and his dozen or so underlings directly into the headquarters building of Qiangwei Group.

Then, led by Chen Guilin, they took the elevator directly to the reception room.

Upon arriving at the reception room, Zhou Chaoxian saw Ren Jiu sitting on the sofa.

Ren Jiu was wearing a white suit and had a smile on his face. He looked very young, which surprised Zhou Chaoxian. Although he knew that Ren Jiu of the Sanlian Gang had a great reputation, he had even eaten Qiangwei instant noodles.

Zhou Chaoxian was taken aback by Ren Jiu's young age, but quickly added:

"Hello Mr. Ren, I am Zhou Chaoxian from Tainan City. I didn't expect you to be so young. I almost thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

Ren Jiu responded to Zhou Chaoxian's flattery with a remark:

"Mr. Zhou's Songlin Company is also very famous, and I have heard of Mr. Zhou's name."

After exchanging pleasantries, Ren Jiu invited Zhou Chaoxian to sit down.

Chen Guilin instructed his henchman, "Go and arrange for someone to serve tea."

The younger brother immediately nodded: "Yes, Brother Guilin."

A few minutes later, my younger brother brought in tea, which was a top-quality Longjing tea from mainland China, with a wonderful aroma.

After pouring himself a cup, Ren Jiu poured Zhou Chaoxian a cup as well: "Try it, the tea from the mainland tastes very good."

Zhou Chaoxian smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

After Zhou Chaoxian took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth, Ren Jiu looked at Zhou Chaoxian and asked:

"May I ask what brings you here, Mr. Zhou?"

Ren Jiu could actually guess that Zhou Chaoxian had come here because of Ding Zongshu's matter.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chaoxian didn't actually want to offend the Sanlian Gang. What did Ding Zongshu's death have to do with him? He only came because of Minister Hou.

“Mr. Ren, let me be frank. I came here this time on the orders of Minister Hou of Tainan City.”

"Ding Zongshu of the Tainan City Four Seas Alliance has always been one of Minister Hou's men. This time he offended your Sanlian Gang, and as a result, your Sanlian Gang wiped out the Four Seas Alliance and even destroyed its territory."

"Minister Hou is very unhappy this time. He sent me here to demand an explanation from your Triad. You can't just leave us here quietly."

After Zhou Chaoxian finished speaking, he sighed again: "Minister Hou has a lot of power. If you, Mr. Ren, cannot give Minister Hou a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid you will not be able to gain a foothold in Tainan City."

"Without Minister Hou's approval, no underworld force can gain a foothold in Tainan City."

Zhou Chaoxian's words were also a reminder to Ren Jiu, who himself was unwilling to offend the Sanlian Gang.

Upon hearing this, Ren Jiu frowned, knowing that Minister Hou indeed wielded considerable power in the film.

"Mr. Zhou, let me make a phone call first."

Ren Jiu thought for a moment, then made a phone call to Director Gao.

The call was quickly connected, and Director Gao's voice came from the other end:

"Mr. Ren, what's the matter? If it's about playing golf, I happen to be unavailable today."

Ren Jiu smiled and said, "Director Gao, I have a little trouble that I need your help with."

After Ren Jiu finished speaking, he told Director Gao about the destruction of the Four Seas Alliance. As for Taipei City, it was under Director Gao's jurisdiction, and he had previously not wanted Number Four to appear in Taipei City.

"Director Gao, Minister Hou has sent someone to ask me for an explanation. I hope Director Gao can help me resolve this."

Director Gao nodded, pondered for a moment, and knew he didn't want anything to happen to Ren Jiu, who was his business partner.

"Mr. Ren, wait a moment, I'll make a call to Minister Hou."

Because Tainan City is right next to Taipei City, Director Kao naturally knew Minister Hou.

After Director Gao hung up the phone, he called Minister Hou directly.

On the other side, Minister Hou was lying on his sofa in his own home, wearing a bathrobe, resting with his eyes closed while washing his feet. A beautiful female masseuse was massaging his feet.

Minister Hou's home has a technician who works specifically to massage his feet.

Minister Hou looked quite pleased with himself and occasionally took advantage of the situation.

At this moment, the minister's secretary came over and said respectfully, "Minister, you have a phone call."

Minister Hou slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Who called?"

It was a phone call from Director Kao of the Taipei City Bureau.

Minister Hou frowned, then answered the phone: "Hello, Director Gao, what can I do for you?"

Director Gao said with a smile, "Minister Hou, I heard that you want to ask Ren Jiu for an explanation. Ren Jiu is a good friend of mine, and you are also a friend of mine, Minister Hou. In my opinion, let's just let this matter go."

"It's just a minor skirmish in the martial arts world. Don't let it ruin our relationship. I'll have Ren Jiu go to Tainan City to serve you tea and apologize. That will be a way to give you a way out."

Minister Hou's expression was uncertain, and without a doubt, he was speaking up for Ren Jiu. Although he and Director Gao had met a few times, they were by no means friends.

He was particularly displeased when he heard Director Gao downplay the seriousness of the matter. Although Director Gao did not have as much power as him, his backing was much stronger.

Director Gao's backer, the boss's wife, is someone Minister Hou absolutely cannot afford to offend. Therefore, Minister Hou is very wary of Director Gao. It would indeed be a bad deal for him to fall out with him over a dead man.

"Then I'll give you face, Director Gao, and have him serve me tea and water. Let's just let this matter drop."
