"Then thank you very much, Minister Hou."

Director Gao hung up the phone, thus solving a problem for Ren Jiu.

In the reception room, Ren Jiu and Zhou Chaoxian were both calmly drinking tea. Zhou Chaoxian knew that Ren Jiu must have also contacted his superiors to arrange for someone to deal with Minister Hou, so he was not in a hurry.

Besides, Zhou Chaoxian wasn't stupid; he wouldn't make an enemy for no reason, since the Sanlian Gang had wiped out Ding Zongshu so easily.

Just then, Ren Jiu's phone rang. It was Director Gao calling. Ren Jiu answered the phone and laughed:

"Director Gao, how is it?"

Director Gao shook his head and said, "You really know how to cause me trouble. But I've already called Minister Hou. Minister Hou said that you just need to go to Tainan City to serve him tea and apologize. That'll be the end of it. Just apologize to that old bastard."

Ren Jiu smiled; Director Gao was indeed very helpful.

"No problem, I'm an expert at apologizing."

Sanpao also received a call and picked up the phone: "Boss, it's Minister Hou on the phone."

Zhou Chao answered the phone first, while Minister Hou said on the other end:

"Chao Xian,..."

Zhou Chaoxian nodded: "I understand."

After Zhou Chao hung up the phone, his gaze towards Ren Jiu changed. The fact that Ren Jiu could make Minister Hou bow his head showed that the power behind him was considerable, and this was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

He could only try to win them over, especially since the Sanlian Gang had a group of elite assassins under their command. He didn't want to die in the villa like Ding Zongshu, who died mysteriously.

In an instant, Zhou Chaoxian's face became more enthusiastic: "I didn't expect Mr. Ren to have such a strong foundation? Actually, I didn't want to antagonize Mr. Ren either."

Ren Jiu smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Everyone has friends. You have friends and I have friends. So let's not delay and go apologize to Minister Hou now."

Zhou Chaoxian nodded: "No problem, I know the way well."

Ren Jiu waved his hand and instructed Chen Guilin:

"Guilin boy, go prepare the car."

Chen Guilin nodded: "Yes, boss."

After the cars were ready, Ren Jiu arranged for seven or eight Mercedes-Benz vans to follow Zhou Chaoxian's convoy to Minister Hou's villa. It was already afternoon.

Upon arriving at the villa, Ren Jiu paid a visit, accompanied by Zhou Chaoxian. Minister Hou's secretary led Zhou Chaoxian and Ren Jiu to the living room to meet Minister Hou.

Ren Jiu and Zhou Chaoxian walked into the living room and saw Minister Hou, who was dressed in casual clothes. Minister Hou looked pale and unsteady on his feet, clearly suffering from severe kidney deficiency.

At this age, still playing cards every day, you can only say that he's old in years but young at heart.

Zhou Chaoxian looked at Minister Hou and called out with a smile, "Minister Hou."

Ren Jiu also called out, "Minister Hou."

Zhou Chaoxian then introduced Ren Jiuren to Minister Hou: "This is Mr. Ren Jiuren."

Minister Hou nodded, gesturing for the two to sit down.

Ren Jiu looked at Minister Hou and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to offend Minister Hou this time, so I came here to serve him tea and apologize."

Minister Hou glanced at it but said nothing.

Ren Jiu naturally knew that Minister Hou wanted to see sincerity, and he gestured to Chen Guilin with his eyes.

Chen Guilin, standing behind him, opened his briefcase, revealing ten million Hong Kong dollars inside. Ren Jiu said:

"This HK$10 million is a gift for Minister Hou."

Upon seeing the ten million Hong Kong dollars, Minister Hou finally felt a little relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

"Have a heart."

Although Minister Hou was very unhappy, Ren Jiu gave him ten million Hong Kong dollars, which somewhat eased his resentment.

“Mr. Ren, I will let this matter go this time for the sake of Director Gao.”

Ren Jiu also took advantage of the situation, and just then his secretary returned with tea. He proactively offered Minister Hou a cup of tea as an apology.

"Minister Hou is indeed broad-minded."

Minister Hou took the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Ren Jiu, warning him:

"Tainan City and Taipei City are different. In Tainan City, you must know how to follow the rules."

Ren Jiu smiled and said, "Minister Hou, I'm the best at following the rules."

Ren Jiu wouldn't turn against Minister Hou right now, but if anyone dared to sell No. 4 in his territory, he would kill Ding Zongshu even if it happened again.

Minister Hou looked at Ren Jiu, feeling displeased, but he couldn't say anything. He knew that Ren Jiu had already done a good job of putting on a show and wouldn't cause any more trouble. He also had to give Director Gao face.

However, Minister Hou seemed to suddenly remember something, and then smiled:

"Mr. Ren, Shanyuan Manor is planning a charity sale of the columbarium tomorrow. Why don't you come and participate and bid? You might even meet the master and make a good connection."

Hearing this, Ren Jiu was speechless. He knew that Minister Hou was greedy and insatiable. He knew that almost all the money from the charity sale of the columbarium at Shanyuan Manor went into Minister Hou's pocket.

Clearly, Minister Hou felt that ten million wasn't enough, but Ren Jiu didn't care; he wasn't short of money. He then smiled and said:

"Minister Hou, I will definitely attend tomorrow."

Ren Jiu was unimpressed by this charlatan-like activity, knowing it was just a way to make money.

He thought it would be better for Minister Hou to buy himself a position sooner rather than later, as he might need it in the future.

……

The next day, Ren Jiu was having breakfast at the Hilton Hotel in Tainan City. In front of him was bacon, bread, and milk. After taking a couple of bites, Ren Jiu wiped his mouth.

At this moment, Chen Guilin walked over, his face respectful:

"Boss, the car is ready, we can head to Shanyuan Manor now."

Shanyuan Mountain Villa has a considerable reputation in Tainan City. Many dignitaries and nobles come here to auction off columbariums and meet the so-called master, but this master is just a fraud.

Ren Jiu nodded, then led his henchmen, along with Rat Ming and his three bodyguards, into the car. These three bodyguards were Black Ghost, White Ghost, and Black Caesar Duncan. The convoy headed directly to Shanyuan Manor. ...

Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Still Charming Lady Hou

When Ren Jiu arrived at Shanyuan Manor, many dignitaries had already gathered there. At the entrance of Shanyuan Manor stood sculptures of the Four Heavenly Kings, their faces ferocious.

The entire Shanyuan Mountain Villa is magnificent in appearance and is shaped like an ancient pagoda umbrella. This is where ashes are usually stored.

Some people in Taiwan believe in these things. The reason why Song Miaotian was able to swindle people is also related to local customs. As for his so-called "cloning technique," it is actually quite easy to understand.

In fact, Song Miaotian has a younger brother named Song Miaodi. Song Miaotian coerced his brother to act as his alter ego. The outside world, unaware of the truth, has exaggerated Song Miaotian's abilities to an incredible degree.

As for Ren Jiu, having seen the movie, he knows that Song Miaotian is a conman who sleeps with female followers; he can only be described as a complete scumbag.

The columbarium here is not only for storing ashes, but also for trading No. 4 items. Before trading No. 4 items, Ding Zongshu would send No. 4 items to Shanyuan Mountain Villa for trading.

After all, the ashes and the number four look exactly the same. Without tasting them, you can't tell the difference just by looking at them. So this became the best place for them to make their deal without attracting the attention of the police.

At this moment, Chen Guilin and Lao Shuming followed behind Ren Jiu, looking around and sighing deeply. Then they said:

"Wow, there are so many people here, and they're all really rich."

Chen Guilin looked at the Buddha statues not far away, all of which were covered in gold, and was struck by the wealth and extravagance of the place.

Mouse Ming glanced around and noticed that some of the people he had seen on TV were also present at Shanyuan Manor.

Ren Jiu smiled and said, "This is the real gathering place for Tainan's upper class."

Most people were just giving Minister Hou face, because Minister Hou's wife, Madam Hou, had run a book club, and they were just using that as an excuse to build connections.

During the memorial service held at Shanyuan Mountain Villa, a large number of reporters were present to report on the charity sale of the columbarium.

After Ren Jiu looked around outside, he led Lao Shuming and Chen Guilin forward, where they happened to run into Zhou Chaoxian and his wife Cui Miaoxiang.

Zhou Chaoxian was wearing a suit today, and his wife was also wearing a formal dress, with her arm around his.

Upon seeing Ren Jiu, Zhou Chaoxian greeted him with a smile:

"Mr. Ren."

Now that Zhou Chaoxian has witnessed Ren Jiu's strength, he is more enthusiastic about Ren Jiu and wants to be friends with him even more.

Ren Jiu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is my first time visiting the Spirit Bone Tower. It's so lively here. You've arrived very early, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Chaoxian waved his hand: "I've only been here for a quarter of an hour longer than Mr. Ren. I've been here several times. I'll introduce myself to Mr. Ren when we get to 993."

"no problem."

After they finished speaking, the two of them entered the building together, chatting and laughing. Inside, the atmosphere was solemn and respectful, with many devout believers kneeling on prayer cushions to worship the Buddha.

When Madam Hou and Minister Hou came out, a large number of reporters rushed in and took pictures, but Minister Hou brushed them off.

Ren Jiu also saw Minister Hou and his wife, Zhao Mudan.

Lady Hou was dressed in a black and red gown, her hair was styled exquisitely, and she had a great figure. Her dress was bulging in the front, and she was also wearing a peony flower. Although she was getting on in years, she looked more like a mature flower, full of charm.

Ren Jiu's eyes lit up. This kind of woman was more attractive than a naive young girl, and he couldn't help but take another look at the Lady Hou.

In the movie, Lady Hou was indeed beautiful. Looking at her now, Ren Jiu also feels that she still retains her charm and is no less beautiful than a young girl. It can only be said that there is a reason why Cao Cao is remembered throughout history.

Ren Jiu glanced at the Lady Hou again before looking away.

Zhou Chaoxian pointed to the man at the very front, dressed in Buddhist robes and wearing prayer beads, and said:
