Gu Yusheng was so upset that he threw his phone to the floor when he heard the dial tone. The phone had made a piercing noise and was in pieces on the floor near him.

Was he threatening him? No one had ever threatened him.

What the heck was the “Zhenhua Group”? It was just a small company that had earned their name with dirty tricks. How could they threaten him?

Gu Yusheng’s chest heaved up and down quickly in anger. He picked up the home phone and dialed Xiaowang’s phone number. “Prepare a contract for me. I need to sell the land on the east side of the city. Why do you care who I sell it to? Don’t ask. Just do what I ask you to do. Thirty, I mean, twenty, no, in ten minutes, deliver the contract to my house.” Gu Yusheng slammed the phone down.

He was so enraged. This was his first time being threatened by anyone. He couldn’t believe he had been threatened because of a woman.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. He stood up with his teeth clenched. He kicked the coffee table violently and walked upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes.

…

Gu Yusheng changed into a black suit with a white shirt. He wasn’t wearing a tie, but he had buttoned his shirt all the way up.

He buttoned his shirt sleeves as he walked downstairs with a gloomy face.

Gu Yusheng walked to the foyer. After he changed into his dress shoes and was ready to walk out of the house, he suddenly turned around and called the housekeeper. “Housekeeper!”

The housekeeper knew he was in a bloodthirsty mood after she heard the call, so she hid in the kitchen. When she heard him, she cracked the door open a bit and stuck her head out. She responded in a low pitch, “Yes, Mr. Gu?”

“Can you prepare some food for her? I’ll be bringing her back soon.” Gu Yusheng pulled the door open and stepped out of the house. He turned around and added, “The food needs to be easy to digest.” He closed the door behind him, got into the car, and drove away.

…

It was supposed to take two hours to get to Tingyin Tea House, but it only took Gu Yusheng an hour and twenty minutes. He parked his car in front of the tea house.

The Tingyin Tea House was owned by the Zhenhua Group. Two men in black suits standing at the door saw him and went forward to greet him. They called him “Master Gu” and showed him the way upstairs.

Gu Yusheng held the paperwork in one hand with his other hand in his pants pocket. He casually followed the two men to a private room at the end of a hallway on the top floor.

The two men in black suits who had shown him the way pushed the door to the room open and signaled for him to go inside.

Lame Wang warmly greeted him when he saw Gu Yusheng. “Master Gu, you came here fast. Come in. Take a seat please.”

Gu Yusheng didn’t move, standing still at the door. He calmly glanced around the room. A woman in cheongsam knelt next to a coffee table, making tea in front of Lame Wang, who was sitting in front of the coffee table. There were about eight people standing in the room. They were all big, muscular, and looked like they knew kung fu.
