Chapter 63: Li ChengNuo and Lord Táng
In the banquet Hall, Zedong saw Xing leaving with Shengli following her and went to deep thoughts. As Rijun was about to leave, Lord Zedong asked him to pour tea for him and sent all the servants out,
"Didn’t think Lord Táng was associated with the Lone Wolf though. When I learned Lord Táng was a woman, I thought she’d be with Li ChengNuo", he spoke in a low contemplating tone making everyone curious.
"Who is this Li ChengNuo anyway?", AoTian asked a bit irritated. Why is his daughter getting associated with many sketchy people?
Zedong sighed,
"Little brother, you never look outside the dragon pond. But there is a scary jungle with many predators worse than the dragon you are serving out there. Li ChengNuo is one such predator in that jungle"
AoTian clicked his tongue, "You and your metaphors! Can’t you say it openly? And aren’t you one of those scary predators too?", he had lost his patience. He had an intuition that Shengli is Li ChengNuo but why does his brother think otherwise?
Zedong chuckled, "You really have changed a bit. Usually you’d have walked out by now"
AoTian got more annoyed by his mirth,
"I’m only interested because you said my daughter is involved. If you are just jesting, then..", he stood up to leave.
Feiye who was carefully watching his two brothers having conversation and wondered the last time they had exchanged this many words and couldn’t actually pinpoint when. He took a deep breath, his niece sure brought them a bit closer.
"Come on! Sit!", Zedong pulled him and AoTian sat back. Rijun wondered why he was held back here and went back to his seat confused.
"Li ChengNuo... Not many have seen him and those who had seen him say he was some foreigner with weird accent and that he has no respect for anyone. He just has this weird hobby of collecting old weapons and antiques. And he is a businessman who doesn’t own a single business",he paused and everyone was confused. How can someone do business without owning any business?
