Another four or five minutes passed, and the restaurant's main door opened. The four burly men who had been guarding the entrance walked in and nodded to Big Mouth Nine and his companions seated at the dining table. Without a doubt, their people had arrived.
Big Mouth Nine and the other two exchanged glances, then simultaneously stood up without any prior arrangement, yet they did not go forward to greet the newcomers.
Wang Yu nodded in approval of Big Mouth Nine's approach. Rising to their feet yet not advancing to meet the arrivals not only showed respect for the newcomers but also created an impression: we are not afraid of you.
