Chapter 130: A Plan Within A Plan - The Hongmen Banquet!
Haikou, the provincial cultural center, transportation hub, and intersection of various cultures, its prosperity is self-evident.
Cockroach, in Haikou for four or five years, when I first arrived in Haikou, joined a small unknown gang, with a sharp mind and extremely strong ability to observe words and colors, quickly showed his edge in the small gang.
At the time of a fierce battle between two gangs, he inadvertently saved the leader of another gang. After his own gang was destroyed, the leader he had saved came to his rescue and recruited him into their gang.
After joining the gang, Cockroach relied on his extraordinary skills and ruthless methods to quickly rise through the ranks, becoming the hall master in just two years. In the following two years, he made great contributions to the gang, thus establishing a solid foundation within the organization.
After the old boss retired, the cockroach smoothly took over as the leader of the gang and led the gang to conquer east and west in the next two years, taking down countless bases.
It wasn't until recently that I started to clear my name, but unexpectedly I encountered Lin Yi and was suppressed everywhere, with everything going against me.
Ling Tian'ao and Baozi arrived in Haikou, accompanied by Zhong Shuai, they went to various nightclubs and had a great time.
Of course, this is just a cover-up. In secret, Ling Tian and his three men have been investigating Lin Yi and his father Lin Tianyang's affairs. It won't be long before they find out that Lin Tianyang is about to turn sixty years old. As Lin Tianyang holds an extremely important position in Huaxia, many big shots from Huaxia will attend this birthday celebration, including some high-ranking officials.
Ling Tian was too proud for a few people to dare make trouble at this critical moment, so they didn't bother him much. He continued to investigate carefully and made preparations.
No matter what, the opponent is a capable person. Although Ling's family can be relied upon, Ling Tian still has to be careful, and it's even more unlikely that he will let the Ling family take action before the critical moment.
At first, I refused to let my family send someone to follow me, because if they did, everything I did would be under their control, and they would definitely help me secretly to get everything done.
He hopes that one day he can stand on his own and be able to handle everything by himself. Rather than encountering things and going to ask for family help, although the family is very powerful, but that's not forever, only when he becomes strong will his family become strong, this is the eternal truth!
Traveling and playing in secret, investigating without letting the Lin family feel suspicious, let alone that the Lin family has been busy with the birthday celebration these past few days, having no time to pay attention to Ling Tian'ao and his men.
But on this day, Ling Tianao and several others had just returned to their residence when they received two invitation letters. One was an invitation from the cockroach. Although the cockroach is the big boss of Haikou's underground forces, it is also a prominent figure in Haikou's business community and is even known as Haikou's "great philanthropist". It was not excessive to invite him to attend the birthday banquet.
And another one is an invitation to Ling Tianao.
The invitation was simple, Lin Tianyang learned that Ling Tian'ao had arrived in Donghai and coincided with his own 60th birthday, so he wanted to invite Ling Tian'ao, this "world nephew", to attend his birthday banquet.
The Ling family's old couple is also a reputable person in China, and they have some relationship with Lin Tianyang, so it's not inappropriate to invite Ling Tianao to attend his birthday banquet.
"Haha! Ginger is still spicy after all these years!"
Ling Tian Ao finished reading the invitation letter and threw it on the table with a smile.
"Boss, shall we go?"
The cockroach looked at the invitation and was somewhat perplexed.
"Go, why not go?"
Ling Tian looked at the cockroach and leopard with a smile on his face.
"But, boss, I feel like they're up to no good."
The leopard also didn't quite understand, and had a feeling of being in a precarious situation, like the famous "Feast at Hongmen".
"It can't be said that Lin Tianyang is an ordinary person. His purpose for inviting us this time is very simple: first, he wants to see what my purpose is in coming to Haikou; second, he wants to take the opportunity to show off to us. If we don't go, wouldn't it be like we're afraid of him? Moreover, all the people attending the birthday banquet are influential figures, and he won't dare to do anything out of line."
Ling Tian Ao can't understand what Lin Tian Yang means, it's clear that the weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken!
"So we're going to attend it?"
The cockroach seemed to understand Ling Tianao's meaning.
"That's right, it's not just about going, but also about going openly and aboveboard."
Ling Tian Ao picked up the invitation letter again, flicked it with his finger, and smiled with a deeper meaning.
"Alright, I understand, I'll go prepare right away."
The cockroach took a look and suddenly understood the mystery, smiled slightly and turned around to leave.
"Lin Tianyang! Since you want to play, I'll play with you to the end!"
Ling Tian stood up straight, his eyes shining brightly, his tone firm and resolute!
If it were someone else instead of the cockroach, Ling Tian'ao might have let it go because the other party was Lin Tianyang, but this time Lin Tianyang is dealing with a cockroach, so that's a different story!
Although Lin Tianyang is powerful, but now Ling Tianao is not afraid of him at all. The dignity of the Ling family cannot be trampled on!
Lin Tianyang thought he was clever enough, gave the Ling family enough face, and solved a problem. However, what he didn't expect was that this birthday banquet would be the most unforgettable one in his life!
Ling Tian Ao was determined to go through with his plan, knowing that Lin Tian Yang didn't have good intentions. He still went to the banquet, wanting to see what Lin Tian Yang would do next!
The longevity banquet is set for two days later, and during these two days.
Haikou is refreshed everywhere, from streets and roads to airport terminals, everything is harmonious!
It can be seen that no one dares to make trouble at this critical moment, and all departments are doing their best to maintain Haikou's "harmony"!
Two days later, in front of Haikou's largest hotel, Junyue Huangchao, cars came and went, flowing endlessly!
Among them, many police officers in uniform shuttled back and forth, and from time to time, a group of people with majestic momentum walked through the crowd. Some people were over fifty years old but had a ruddy complexion and strong momentum, while others were young but had an extraordinary air and momentum!
These people were either in high positions or had strong powers, and their purpose for coming here was simple, which was to celebrate Lin Tian's 60th birthday!
Of course, although passing the exam is the first priority, in many people's hearts, building relationships and getting along with others is the top priority.
Everyone had their own thoughts and intentions, smiling and greeting each other as they entered Junyue Imperial Court.
At 9:00 am, three limited-edition yellow Ferrari sports cars sped over and stopped in the parking lot opposite the entrance of Junyue Huangchao like a gust of wind.
Three limited-edition sports cars of the same color naturally attracted people's attention, even though they were wealthy and influential, but seeing such a scene still drew some sideways glances.
High-profile!
This is their first reaction. Generally, people with money will not be so showy, so in their opinion, the people inside the car must be a group of 'nouveau riche' or some kind of second-generation rich kids!
The car doors opened simultaneously and three young men in suits walked down shoulder to shoulder.
He was the first, wearing a white suit, with a pale face, flat facial features, and slightly long bangs that covered his eyebrows. His body exuded an aura of royalty, surrounded by a faintly discernible aura of killing intent!
To his right, a young man with a shiny bald head and a prominent scar on his face, paired with his robust body, made people respect him from afar!
On the right, wearing a deep blue suit, the suit is somewhat inconsistent with his age, but it matches his temperament. There is a introverted and powerful aura on his body, his face is full of determination, especially that tall and strong physique, seems to be full of power!
The three of them got off the car and didn't say a word, they just raised their eyes to glance at the crowd in front of the Junyue Imperial Gate, smiled slightly, and walked towards the gate.
"Hello, this place has been booked by Mr. Lin and does not receive foreign guests. If you are here to celebrate Mr. Lin's birthday, please show your invitation letter, thank you!"
At the entrance stood a girl wearing a cheongsam and with a tall figure, staring at the three of them very politely.
Ling Tian Ao and the other three naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her, so they reached into their pockets and pulled out two invitation letters. After the girl read them, she smiled slightly at the three of them and let them pass.
Most people who come here are dignitaries, and it's normal to have one or two bodyguards by their side, so an invitation letter can usually get a lot of people in.
Entering the hall, there is a special person to greet you, and you will be taken directly to the rooftop.
The Junyue Imperial Building has a total of 108 floors, with a height of nearly 500 meters. On the rooftop, there are hundreds of tables, exclusively for people with status and prestige to hold grand banquets.
When Ling Tian and a few others arrived, there were already quite a number of people here.
Inside the attic, there was a large round table with a golden yellow tablecloth on it. It was very obvious that this table was different from all the others and extremely eye-catching!
Ling Tian and his three companions didn't pay attention, casually finding an empty table to sit down at, waiting for the protagonist's arrival.
The banquet starts at 10 o'clock, and now it's just around half past nine.
Others came early, meaning they socialized with some wealthy and influential people for their own benefit. As for Ling Tian and his three friends coming early, it was simply because they had nothing to do in the morning, so they came to take a look and see what kind of people were around.
Time flies, and there are more and more people on this rooftop.
They chatted enthusiastically, calling out each other's names and flattering one another.
In comparison, Ling Tian Ao's table seemed somewhat deserted. They didn't interact with others, and others didn't know what they did, nor dared to disturb them easily. The three of them sat there, chatting to themselves, and ended up being quite leisurely.
It was approaching ten o'clock, and everyone stopped greeting each other, returning to their own positions, waiting for the protagonist's arrival.
At this time, Ling Tian Ao's table had a few more people. They were all young people, among whom one person knew the cockroach and was a celebrity in Haikou.
He is said to be the richest man in Haikou and has a good relationship with Lin Tianyou, so it's normal for him to attend Lin's birthday party.
Moreover, it is obvious that Lin Tianyang's support for this richest man, and the people who can attend this banquet with him, have a strong relationship with the Lin family, and their own family strength will not be weak. Being able to make one or two friends here is absolutely beneficial and harmless!
At ten o'clock, on the rooftop, a pleasant music sound first rang out, then the elevator slowly rose up, and everyone turned their heads at the same time and stood up!
