Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 185: The Big Bosses Gather (10th Update)

Although Lin Kuang had left, Lin Wanli was still in a very good mood. After all, his goal had been achieved, and Lin Kuang didn’t seem to hold much of a grudge against him. Whether this was because of Lin Guo’er or not, it was a good start, and that was enough. The thought also made Lin Wanli reflect on his past. Sometimes you really can’t judge a person by appearances alone. And most importantly, you must never forget your roots!

Lin Kuang drove quickly back to the Liu Family estate. Seeing him return, Liu Shilin greeted him with a smile. "Finished with your business?"

"Hmph! What business could he have?" the Witch sniffed, wrinkling her little nose. "He reeks of alcohol. He was obviously up to no good!"

Lin Kuang was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the Witch’s sense of smell to be so sharp that she could detect even the faint scent of alcohol on him.

"Ahem," Lin Kuang cleared his throat. "No, I just had a little drink. You two chat. I have something to do, so I need to step out for a bit."

With that, he went back to his room and retrieved a long case from under his bed.

"Hey, where are you going?" the Witch couldn’t help but ask, her curiosity piqued by the long case.

Liu Shilin also watched him with curiosity, not understanding what he was about to do.

"I have some business to attend to. It’s better if you two don’t know the details," Lin Kuang said with a smile.

The Witch pouted, but a chill ran through Liu Shilin’s heart. She had a vague understanding of what Lin Kuang intended to do.

"Be careful," Liu Shilin whispered, her voice exceptionally firm. "I’ll wait for you to come back. Don’t get into any trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded. "Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll definitely come back in one piece."

With that, he carried the long case out of the room, got into his car, and drove away.

Watching Lin Kuang’s car disappear, Liu Shilin’s heart filled with worry. All she could do was pray silently that he wouldn’t run into any trouble.

At 8:50 PM, Lin Kuang arrived at the television station across from the Odin Hotel. Carrying the long case, he slipped inside the building, made his way to the top floor, and finally stepped out onto the rooftop.

Lin Kuang opened the case, took out the JS sniper rifle, and rapidly assembled it. In his hands, the meter-long weapon moved with the nimbleness of a pistol; he handled it with extreme swiftness. In no time at all, he had the JS set up and was aiming it at the Odin Hotel across the street, his eye pressed to the scope as he scanned the building.

Soon, he found Zhang Lianmei on the twenty-first floor of the Odin Hotel. The room was crowded, and each person had a bodyguard standing behind them, indicating they were all major underworld figures. Lin Kuang scanned the room, then centered the crosshairs on Zhou Datao’s head. He had seen Zhou Datao before, so he could easily pick him out. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He noted that Zhou Ertao was not standing beside Zhou Datao. Clearly, the younger brother wasn’t present and was likely holding down the fort at the Leopard Hall headquarters.

Lin Kuang wasn’t concerned. His target was Zhou Datao. He was just waiting for a signal from Zhang Lianmei to pull the trigger and blow Zhou Datao’s head off with a single shot.

At that moment, Zhang Lianmei was calmly interacting with the others in the room. She knew Lin Kuang must have already arrived. It was a kind of inexplicable trust she had in him. She was just waiting for the right moment.

By 9:30 PM, all the guests invited by Zhou Datao had arrived, and he had the waiters begin serving the food.

Once the dishes were on the table, Zhou Datao spoke up. "Gentlemen, you all know why I’ve invited you here tonight.

"Let me reiterate: my new channels can supply a large quantity of drugs, and the prices are lower than anything any of you are paying. Therefore, I sincerely hope you will all source your product from me.

"In the spirit of everyone making money together, my prices will be more than fair!"

Zhou Datao smiled as his gaze swept across the attendees, though it lingered for a few extra seconds on one person in particular. That man was Chen Jiachong, the boss of the Chen Gang, which was the largest gang in East Sea. Even Zhou Datao was quite wary of him.

Hearing Zhou Datao’s words, many were tempted. However, Chen Jiachong just sat there quietly without saying a word, and with him silent, no one else dared to be the first to speak. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room grew delicate. The air was thick with tension, like the calm before a storm. All eyes were fixed on Chen Jiachong and Zhou Datao, waiting for one of them to break the silence.

After a full five or six minutes, Chen Jiachong finally spoke. "Datao, you’ve done well to arrange this. We can certainly agree to this sort of deal. However, you at least have to give us the bottom line. Who is the supplier? What kind of power does he have behind him? I think that’s a reasonable question, don’t you?" Chen Jiachong asked nonchalantly.

A matter like this had to be handled with caution. Otherwise, Chen Jiachong worried it could attract trouble. While it might not affect him directly, men in their line of work hated complications.

Hearing Chen Jiachong’s words, everyone’s gaze focused once more on Zhou Datao. His expression remained calm, as if he had anticipated this question all along.

"Brother Chen, since you’ve asked, I won’t hide it. This supply line belongs to Chu Zhongtian!" Zhou Datao said calmly, his eyes again falling on Chen Jiachong. "I think you all know who Chu Zhongtian is. I shouldn’t need to say anything more."

Hearing Zhou Datao’s words, everyone was stunned. Even Zhang Lianmei was surprised. The shipment belongs to Chu Zhongtian? He’s a leading figure in East Sea’s legitimate world. It’s shocking that someone like him would get involved in drugs.

Chen Jiachong’s expression also changed slightly. He had heard rumors about this from his subordinates, and it had shocked him then. But hearing Zhou Datao confirm it himself, the shock was ten thousand times greater.

So it really is Chu Zhongtian. The man is truly formidable. He’s thriving in the legitimate world, and now he wants to dip his hands into our underworld. Tsk, tsk. This guy’s ambition is enormous!

"Oh? Well, since it’s Mr. Chu’s supply line, we naturally have no objections," Chen Jiachong said with a smile. "In fact, having Mr. Chu as a shield behind the scenes sounds like an excellent arrangement."

This was a good deal for Chen Jiachong. As long as there was money to be made without any major problems, why not make it? After all, this business was how he made his money.

Hearing the heavyweight Chen Jiachong give his approval, the others quickly expressed their agreement, Zhang Lianmei included.

Seeing this, a broad smile spread across Zhou Datao’s face. "Haha! Gentlemen, here’s to a pleasant cooperation. I’m sure Mr. Chu will be very pleased to hear this good news."

Raising his wine glass from the table, Zhou Datao laughed, feeling on top of the world.
