At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Zhongren suddenly opened his eyes in the lounge, came to the window and looked downstairs.
At the gate of Lin's Restaurant, a black Maybach appeared. The door opened and the driver stepped out.
"Rich man, indeed the imperial capital is full of rich people, not bad."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the lounge was slowly pushed open, and Li Yang walked in from the outside.
"Master, people from the Ji family have come to pick us up, shall we set off now?" Li Yang asked with a smile.
Zhao Zhongren nodded: "Of course, let's go."
Li Yang called Lin Qingjun and Ji Yulan, and the four of them walked slowly downstairs, got in the car and drove towards Ji's house.
After getting in the car, Zhao Zhongren was all smiles, as if he was going to see an old friend. There was no friction at all like Ji Hongwu said.
When he arrived at Ji's house, Ji Hongwu was standing at the gate, which surprised Li Yang.
"This is because you knew I was coming and gave me such a big favor. You are really well-informed."
As he spoke, Zhao Zhongren turned to look at Ji Yulan and nodded with a smile.
Before the driver opened the door, Zhao Zhongren opened the door and got out of the car, and walked up to Ji Hongwu with Li Yang and the others.
"Ji, sir, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still so energetic."
Zhao Zhongren was smiling all over his face, but everyone could tell that he was cursing.
Ji Hongwu nodded and smiled indifferently.
"Mr. Zhao, isn't he always getting better and better? We haven't seen each other for a few years, so we really should have a good meal and a drink. Okay, let's go in, and we'll settle down when we're here, right?"
Zhao Zhongren hummed and walked into the door of Ji's house with a smile.
Coming to the living room, Ji Hongwu and Zhao Zhongren came to sit on the sofa, while the rest of the people stood aside.
"Brother Zhao is coming back this time, isn't it because of the incident in the South China Sea? The fall of the Dongfang family should have no impact on you."
No one expected that Ji Hongwu would go straight to the topic, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense.
Zhao Zhongren reached into his pocket, took out a cigar, lit it, and leaned generously on the sofa.
"Of course I came back not because of Dongfang Chenlong's death, but because of your assassination. I heard that the person who assassinated you this time was very powerful. You were also injured, right?"
Ji Hongwu frowned slightly when he heard this, never expecting that he came back because of himself.
"I understand. It turns out that you came back because I was investigating the Zhanwu Sect. I can explain this. After all, I was assassinated and the opponent was very powerful, so I suspected that it was the Zhanwu Sect, and Li Yang
I think so too." Ji Hongwu explained.
Zhao Zhongren couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and turned to look at Li Yang in surprise.
"Well, that's normal. After all, I didn't tell you that Zhanwumen is my organization."
Saying that, Zhao Zhongren turned to look at Ji Hongwu and shook his head with a smile.
"Actually, you are wrong. I came back this time not because you were investigating my Zhan Wumen, but because you were assassinated. I know the process very well. You were injured, which means that the other party is very strong. I want to know
Who in the imperial capital can hurt you?"
Hearing what Zhao Zhongren said, Ji Hongwu finally understood what he was doing when he came back.
"Brother Zhao, it seems that you are very interested in this person who can hurt me."
Zhao Zhongren nodded: "Of course. Although you Ji Hongwu is not the number one combat force in the imperial capital, there are definitely not many people who can hurt you. Although assassinating you is nothing new, the identity of the assassin is very mysterious. This
That makes me very curious.”
Ji Hongwu pursed his lips in thought, then turned to look at Ji Yulan who was standing aside.
"Yu Lan, let the kitchen prepare two tables of food. Your Uncle Zhao and I will go to the rooftop to eat and drink. Go ahead."
Ji Yulan nodded, then hurriedly turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Li Yang's expression turned gloomy. Thinking about it, he knew that the identity of this assassin was definitely not simple, or the power behind him was not simple.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the food was finally prepared in the kitchen. Then Ji Hongwu and Zhao Zhongren went to the rooftop, while the rest of the people were in the living room.
"Sister Yulan, why didn't sister Yuqin come?" Li Yang asked curiously.
"I don't know. I just came back and I haven't seen my sister yet. She must be away from home. It's okay. I'll stay with you two. It'll be easier if there are fewer people around."
The three of them, Li Yang, were naturally having a great time eating downstairs, but Ji Hongwu and Zhao Zhongren on the rooftop were not so relaxed.
The two talked for more than two hours, and until the end, both of them looked heavy-faced. Although there was no quarrel, it was obvious that the result was not very pleasant.
The three people downstairs finished eating in more than half an hour, and then visited the Ji family villa area under the guidance of Ji Yulan.
Although land in the Imperial Capital is very expensive, each family is willing to spend a lot of money to build their own headquarters and base to facilitate the mobilization of resources and manpower.
"How is it? Is the food tonight good?" Ji Yulan asked with a smile.
Li Yang nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "To be honest, it's really good, and I feel that the cooking tastes very similar to that of sister Yuqin."
Ji Yulan smiled: "It seems that you have eaten a lot. Let me tell you, the chefs at home are all my sister's apprentices, and they are all in their forties or fifties. These people were well-known in the imperial capital before coming to Ji's house.
Yes, but in order to learn cooking skills, I would rather be apprenticed to my sister."
Li Yang said oh, then asked: "Then when will these people graduate?"
"There are two ways. The first is to quit. My sister never stops people who want to leave. The second way is to graduate when the family dinner they cook satisfies my sister."
Lin Qingjun couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this. She had been taking over Lin's Catering for several years. Although she was not a chef, she knew that the last thing a chef wanted to do was a family dinner.
Most of the guests in the restaurant will accept the chef, but the chef who cooks family banquets will be put forward with many requirements. The only two family banquets Su Zhoushan did were both at the Lin family.
