Ling Zi just happened to be hosting a banquet at a hotel not far from the night feast this evening, and the guest was none other than Hou Shilin, who had just taken over all the businesses of the Hou Family.
Ling Zi's backer was Hou Xiaozhi, but now Hou Xiaozhi had fallen from power, and everything of Hou Xiaozhi had been handed over to Hou Shilin. Being a clever man, Ling Zi immediately reached out through his connections to Hou Shilin, hoping to switch allegiance to his side.
However, Hou Shilin didn't give Ling Zi much face. Ling Zi had arranged to meet at seven-thirty, but it was already past nine, and Hou Shilin still hadn't arrived. Ling Zi waited with a look of dejection, only to be told by his subordinates that Hou Shilin had gone to the city hospital to visit Su Yang's father, and it seemed he would not be coming tonight.
