C289 The Banquet Began
The method of poisoning could only be used once. Even if Fourth Lyu wasn't prepared for it, Shen Lang would completely eliminate this possibility.
With Chen Teng's wisdom, he could naturally see the helplessness in Zhang Chu's heart.
Knowing that there was no way to eliminate the root of the problem, using his trump card would only make his opponent more careful. It would definitely bring more harm than benefits.
However, there were two sides to everything.
What happened at the K bar would prevent Fourth Lyu from causing trouble and let Qin Siyu's birthday banquet be held normally.
Secondly, it would also show Zhang Chu's standpoint to the entire Dongzhou City. This person in charge was definitely not someone who could be easily bullied.
If he wanted to make a move against Zhang Chu and his family members, he had to weigh the severity of the matter.
The last point was purely to prove to Chen Teng and Pork Seller that Zhang Chu was trustworthy. It was not just that he was foolish and rich, but that he had sufficient strength to deal with any form of challenge.
Facts proved that Zhang Chu's decision was right.
When they left the K bar, the way Chen Teng and Pork Seller looked at Zhang Chu had completely changed.
"Brother Chu, please be magnanimous and don't lower yourself to our level." Chen Teng was straightforward. He admitted that he had doubted Zhang Chu's strength in front of Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu smiled casually. Obviously, he did not take this matter to heart.
Pork Seller said in puzzlement, "Brother Chu, if it was anyone else who knew that we had doubts in our hearts, they would also turn around and suspect us, causing the relationship to become more and more rigid. Why don't you take this matter to heart at all? "
Since he had said it to this point, Zhang Chu did not beat around the bush anymore.
"There is no such thing as good for no reason in this world, and naturally, there is no such thing as hatred for no reason. Without a relationship foundation, it is really difficult to trust a stranger. "Thus, the more you doubt me, the more at ease I feel. "On the contrary, if you follow my lead from the beginning and do your best, I will have to wonder what your intentions are."
Zhang Chu patted Pork Seller's shoulder and looked at Chen Teng, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. He took a deep breath and said, "I have already proved my sincerity to you. I hope you can show your sincerity next."
Zhang Chu added before the two could answer.
He seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, he meant something else. "Some things can only happen once. The second time might be another result."
Hearing this, Pork Seller and Chen Teng looked at each other. Neither of them said anything else.
However, both of them had the same thought.
Next, there was only one attitude towards Zhang Chu, loyalty.
Any form of suspicion or betrayal was enough to cause death. After all, Zhang Chu had already proved his means at the K bar.
Zhang Chu had an unshakable bottom line, and he treated people generously. Sometimes, he would even give rise to some unnecessary pity and goodwill.
However, the prerequisite for all of this was for himself.
If it was an enemy... Zhang Chu would immediately transform into an extremely treacherous and cruel tyrant who had no principles or bottom line.
He would nourish his family with the warmth of spring and three months. With the cold of winter, he would freeze his enemies.
This time, Chen Teng was completely convinced. The way he looked at Zhang Chu was full of respect.
As for the oath of loyalty, that was unnecessary. After all, most of the time, there was no need to talk so much between men. Usually, one look was enough.
There wasn't much time left. Zhang Chu didn't delay any longer and went straight to Yafei Hotel.
When he arrived at the hotel, it was already around seven o'clock. Looking at the desolate scene, Pork Seller could not help but feel puzzled.
"Why is there not a single person? The birthday banquet of Second Miss Qin is such a big event, why aren't the practitioners of Dongzhou City paying attention to it?"2
Chen Teng was also a little curious. "Logically speaking, guests should have already arrived at this time of the year."
At this moment, Wang Hui walked out of the hotel's door. When she saw Zhang Chu, she first heaved a sigh of relief, then frowned.
"Zhang Chu, you finally came. It was already past seven o'clock, and not a single guest had arrived. If our efforts were to be in vain, and not even a single guest was willing to give face to us, the Qin family would lose a lot of face. " Wang Hui was most concerned about the reputation of the Qin family. Looking at the deserted hotel, she was naturally incomparably nervous.
Zhang Chu gently patted the back of Wang Hui's hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, I don't think there is a big problem."
Wang Hui, who had completely regarded Zhang Chu as her backbone, naturally would not question him.
Since Zhang Chu had said so, Wang Hui quickly calmed down.
"By the way, where are Sitong and the others?" Zhang Chu glanced at them and asked casually.
"Wait in the hotel." Wang Hui blurted out.
Zhang Chu lowered his head and thought for a moment. He said softly, "How about this? Ask Sitong and the rest to come out and wait at the door."
When he said this, Pork Seller, who was beside him, did not agree. "Brother Chu, no matter what, Second Miss Qin's identity is not the same as before. How can she come out to welcome you personally? " Aren't you afraid of being discredited? "
"What's there to be discounted about!" Chen Teng rolled his eyes at Pork Seller. "I think what Brother Chu did was right. Everyone says that the new official will be the third in command. The problem was that Brother Chu had burned countless fires. If the fire continues, all the cultivators will be afraid of Brother Chu. At this time, Letting the Qin family come out to receive him was equivalent to telling the cultivation world of Dongzhou City. Brother Chu and the Qin family were not arrogant people. What they win is respect. "
Chen Teng's words had entered Zhang Chu's heart.
He only knew how to act willfully. He would become a muddle-headed ruler. He would only be soft-hearted and useless. He would only use iron fist techniques and become a tyrant in the end.
How to use the speed between boldness, benevolence, and violence was what Zhang Chu needed to learn all his life.
Zhang Chu had been fighting with the organization for so long, and now he had shown Fourth Lyu his strength. It was enough to prove his iron fist means.
This would inevitably make the cultivation world of Dongzhou fearful. Therefore, what they needed to do next was to show mercy to everyone, and let everyone relax from their tense and fearful emotions.
This was also the style that Zhang Chu had always advocated. It was both soft and hard, and there was a clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
After a moment, Qin Sitong and Qin Siyu walked out, and naturally followed Lin Lin and the others.
What surprised Zhang Chu the most was that they actually remembered Gu Yang and his sister.
"When did you come?" Zhang Chu asked in surprise.
"I came a long time ago." Gu Yang shrugged and said, "Such a big matter, we should hurry up and not be late."
Gu Nian rubbed the corner of her skirt and looked at Zhang Chu shyly. "I heard it's Siyu's birthday. My brother and I will be there in the afternoon."
Zhang Chu smiled knowingly. Compared to those practitioners who were enemies and friends, Gu Nian and Gu Yang were the purest.
Zhang Chu cherished this kind of pure friendship in his heart.
