Author: Not easy to change

Zhou Honglin's voice sounded outside the door.

Several people in the private room were stunned.

But Lin Yue was still feasting, as if he didn't hear Zhou Honglin's voice.

"Boss, Master Zhou is here. I don't know how he knew you were leaving seclusion. We didn't notify him."

There was some confusion in Zhang Tianfu's tone.

Lin Yue nodded when he heard this. He didn't say whether he should open the door to let Zhou Honglin in, but continued to eat and drink.

For a moment, Zhang Tianfu and the four of them couldn't understand what Lin Yue meant.

However, Lin Yue did not speak, and naturally none of them dared to open the door.

After waiting for a while.

Lin Yue then raised his head and signaled to Zhang Tianfu.

Zhang Tianfu naturally understood what Lin Yue meant immediately, and quickly got up and opened the door of the private room.

"Master Zhou, are you a rare visitor?"

Looking at Zhou Honglin who walked in with a smile on his face, Lin Yue said something with a half-smile while eating.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, you have not shown up for nearly two months. It seems that you are either in retreat or you are busy with something?"

Zhou Honglin looked at Lin Yue, came to the table, and asked with a smile.

Glancing at the few Zhou Honglin's men standing outside the private room door, Lin Yuepi smiled and said to Zhou Honglin:

"I didn't expect that Master Zhou paid so much attention to my Yue, not only during my absence, but also took great care of my Tianlong Gang.

Even as soon as I came out of seclusion, you received the news."

Listening to Lin Yue's pun, Zhou Honglin smiled, pulled out a stool and sat down.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, don't blame me.

Now there are too many monks pouring into Yongxing City, a mixture of dragons and snakes, and I am powerless and quite helpless."

After listening to what Zhou Honglin said, Lin Yue stopped what he was saying and looked up at him.

Smiled.

He took the handkerchief handed over by Ying Yi and wiped his mouth.

Putting down the handkerchief, Lin Yue looked at Zhou Honglin quietly and said nothing.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room became a little depressing.

Under Lin Yue's gaze, Zhou Honglin's face slowly lost its smile.

"Zhou Louzhu, if you return the lost shops of our Tianlong Gang now, we will still be friends."

"Fellow Daoist Yue, did you misunderstand something?"

Zhou Honglin's face showed a smile again.

"It seems I misunderstood."

Lin Yue nodded, with a smile on his face.

Seeing Lin Yue's reaction, Zhou Honglin also showed a hearty smile:

"I came to see Fellow Daoist Yue today because I actually wanted to negotiate another deal with Fellow Daoist Yue. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yue is interested?"

"Buy or sell?"

"Yes."

Lin Yue looked at Zhou Honglin without saying anything, and the smile on his face began to fade away.

After a while.

"Master Zhou, let me tell you first. If this deal is a good deal, you can consider it."

“Because this transaction is very confidential.

So if you, Taoist Yue, can't confirm it first, I can't say the content of the transaction for the time being. Please forgive me.

However, I can tell you the reward first."

Zhou Honglin looked a little apologetic and very sincere.

Nodding, Lin Yue picked up the chopsticks on the table again, glanced at Zhou Honglin, and said with a smile:

"Understood, Master Zhou, please leave slowly without seeing me off.

I just came out of quarantine and I'm very hungry. Please forgive me for having to eat alone this time.

But now, a large part of the Tianlong Gang's property has been occupied by unknown small gangs, and we are almost too poor to open the pot, so please forgive me for not entertaining them."

Lin Yue's sudden expulsion order was obviously beyond Zhou Honglin's expectations, which made the smile on his face suddenly freeze.

But, very quickly.

The smile on Zhou Honglin's face returned, he nodded, stood up and said to Lin Yue:

"In that case, I won't disturb Taoist Yue from eating.

But you don’t need to make a decision so quickly on this matter. After thinking about it carefully, if you are still interested, you can talk to me in detail."

Lin Yue smiled and nodded:

"Of course, I will consider this carefully, and if necessary, I will visit you.

Of course, I also hope that, Mr. Zhou, you can consider my previous proposal again."

Hearing this, Zhou Honglin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"I still said the same thing, Fellow Daoist Yue, you misunderstood.

It seems that this time, you do not agree with this transaction because you still have a misunderstanding of me for the time being.

It's okay. Fellow Daoist Yue has just left seclusion and hasn't figured out the relationship yet. This is naturally normal.

Therefore, I hope that Fellow Daoist Yue will consider it carefully again before giving me an answer."

After saying that, Zhou Honglin said no more, nodded to Lin Yue, then stood up and left the private room.

Watching Zhou Honglin leave, Zhang Tianfu stood up and closed the door of the private room.

Return to your seat.

Looking at Lin Yue, Zhang Tianfu and the other four did not say anything.

The atmosphere in the private room was a bit solemn.

Judging from the conversation between Zhou Honglin and Lin Yue just now, everyone present naturally heard something.

It’s just that they haven’t figured it out yet, what kind of relationship is this?

"Boss, according to what you just said.

You mean, the mastermind behind the siege our Tianlong Gang encountered this time is the owner of Shunxin Building, Zhou Honglin?"

This time, it was Sun Yonghong who spoke first.

She thought about it, but still couldn't figure out what was the basis for Lin Yue's judgment?

Zhang Tianfu, He Yuwen and Long Shili obviously did not understand this issue.

At this time, when they heard Sun Yonghong ask, they also looked at Lin Yue with some doubts.

Looking at the confused eyes of the four of them, Lin Yue slowly said:

"Think about it, what did I do before retreating?"

Without explaining immediately, Lin Yue simply asked and then asked them to think about it.

Not only does he need subordinates, he also needs subordinates with independent execution capabilities.

otherwise.

How is it different from being a nanny?

Lin Yue wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, so for these subordinates who had finally been recruited, Lin Yue hoped to cultivate their thinking ability.

But overall, Lin Yue was very satisfied with the four of them.

This time the Tianlong Gang was besieged by so many small gangs and small groups, but the four of them were able to defend a lot of property, as well as the shopkeepers and clerks, which was indeed very rare.

Of course, Lin Yue is most satisfied with this.

The few of them did not disturb their retreat because of this trivial matter.

You know, his retreat this time was to solve the problem of the [Prisoner Seal] on A Hong.

This last step.

What needs to be solved is the spirit pattern in the Nascent Soul area, which may be a little different from before. If it is disturbed and unable to use shadow threads to construct the spirit pattern and maintain the [Prisoner's Seal], there is no telling what changes will occur.

Especially the appearance of Wen Daoqi made Lin Yue a little scared when he thought about it now.

Fortunately, the final result is not too bad.

Naturally, Zhang Tianfu and the others were unclear about the thoughts that were passing through Lin Yue's heart. At this time, they were reminded by Lin Yue.

Only then did he have some reaction.

Before Lin Yue went into seclusion, he went to help Zhou Honglin deal with the bandits.

Not only that, the four of them also remembered Lin Yue's analysis.

"Boss, when you say this, I begin to understand a little bit.
