Silence filled the journey as the car soon reached the front of the hotel.
Wang Xu and Wu Yafei had been waiting by the entrance and quickly went to greet Zhou Qing and his companion as they approached.
"Everyone's here? Let's go inside then."
Zhou Qing waved at them and led his group toward the private room.
Two burly men in black suits were standing outside the room; they blocked their path as Zhou Qing's party attempted to enter.
"This is my brother, Zhou Qing!"
"Stand aside."
Wu Yafei's face darkened. Were they daring to pull rank in front of them?
Courting death!
The two suit-clad men glanced at Zhou Qing and finally stepped aside.
Inside the private room, Ma Youren was chatting and laughing with a man in his forties, seemingly enjoying a good conversation.
Chen Wen whispered into Zhou Qing's ear, "Brother Qing, that's Jin Meng."
Zhou Qing nodded, his gaze drifting over Jin Meng. As he took his measure of Jin Meng, the latter was also scrutinizing him.
