Last night was a whirlwind that kept everyone up through the night, and after a bit of rest in the morning, a celebration banquet was held at noon in a hotel owned by Li Lianshan.
No outsiders were allowed in the hotel at lunchtime; it was a gathering of our own people. Brothers brought over by Ye Qing from Jiuchuan County, including former members like Mad Dog and Da Fei, showed up. On Li Lianshan's part, even more people came, and when everyone gathered, it turned into a lively affair.
Thankfully, Li Lianshan's hotel was large enough to accommodate so many guests without difficulty. Tables were arranged all over both floors, with Ye Qing's and Li Lianshan's subordinates mingling together. By now, both sides were essentially insiders, and the underlings got along very well.
