Chapter 670: Visitors Are Guests
Because Shen Dong’s seat was at the highest and utmost position, it allowed him to capture every action below in his sight. Of course, he noticed their slight movement instantly, but dissatisfaction though present in his heart, was not revealed on his face. He simply watched indifferently, waiting to see what else they would do. At this point, a group of burly men nearby also caught Shen Dong’s attention.
As soon as he had entered, he had seen them and found it quite strange back then, and now, looking at them, it still felt off. After considering carefully, he realized that he knew nothing about these men’s identities, and wondered why they had suddenly appeared here. Nonetheless, he decided to observe quietly for a while longer, as every newcomer was considered a guest.
As long as they did not cause trouble, he naturally would welcome them, but he still needed to remain vigilant. If they were up to something they shouldn’t be doing and it led to the closure of his bar, he wouldn’t let them off lightly. Thus, he quickly called Mr. Lin over and arranged for a few people to go and watch what they were up to, ready to intervene immediately if they attempted anything illegal.
This bar could not afford any errors. When Mr. Lin was called over, he felt somewhat intimidated by Shen Dong, remembering that he had just accepted a bribe to arrange for that seat, an indisputably inappropriate act. However, considering that he had already admitted to his mistake and been punished, he hoped there wouldn’t be any further consequences. Thus, he approached to see what Mr. Shen intended for him to do.
"Mr. Shen, did you call me over for a specific task?"
As he spoke, his eyes conveyed a hint of uncertainty. Shen Dong pointed towards the group of burly men, who seemed to turn their heads thoughtfully, but unfortunately for them, Shen Dong’s cover was particularly good. At a glance, it appeared as though he was simply watching the dancers on stage, leading the burly men to think that perhaps their eyes were playing tricks on them, making them see things that weren’t there.
They resumed discussing their work. Mr. Lin was also a cautious man. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed to stay in his position for so many years. Realizing what Shen Dong’s gesture meant, Mr. Lin understood there were issues with the people at that table, and his boss had summoned him for this.
He definitely had to handle this task well; perhaps it would even bring him a step closer to the higher-ups, which would be an even better outcome.
"Send a few people to keep an eye on them, but remember, if there’s nothing unusual about them, absolutely do not stir up trouble. We can’t afford to provoke certain forces that are too dark. I don’t want this bar, of all places, to attract people we can’t afford to upset. After all, I plan to make a long-lasting fortune from this establishment.
I also need to repay the trust that other benefactors have placed in me. So, prudence is paramount. I trust you with this task; if you’re not sure about others, you can go yourself. It’s only a bit dangerous.
