Unexpectedly, when Jiang Hao asked for help, Liang Yida not only ignored him but also exploded in anger: "Have you ever thought about it, everything you eat, drink, and use, who provides it? How dare you play both sides and speak for Ling Zhenfei, do you really think I, Liang Yida, am that easy to bully?"

"Boss, that's not what I meant…"

Being pointed at and shouted at by Liang Yida like this, Jiang Hao couldn't even explain himself properly and was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about this matter, go attend to your own duties!"

A look of disdain appeared on Liang Yida's face as he gestured sharply with his hand for Jiang Hao to leave.

Jiang Hao wanted to say more but, seeing the decisive look on Liang Yida's face, he could only sigh sadly and leave.

"Hmph, Ling Zhenfei, don't think that just because you once did some minor things for me, you can do whatever you want, even buying off my people. Hmph, I will make you understand, I, Liang Yida, am not someone to be trifled with!"

Watching Jiang Hao leave, the muscles on Liang Yida's face twitched violently, and finally, he gritted his teeth and let out a chilling sneer…

Fatty originally thought that today he would definitely lose over a million but, to his surprise, with a little trick, Ling Zhenfei managed to win back all the money he lost. Delighted in his heart, Fatty dragged Ling Zhenfei, insisting on treating him to a meal.

Ling Zhenfei didn't want to go, but he was badgered relentessly by Fatty and had no choice but to agree.

Now revering Ling Zhenfei to the extent of complete admiration, Fatty felt his own restaurant wasn't classy enough and brought Ling Zhenfei to the largest hotel under his second uncle, Lu Renben's name, the "Hilton International Hotel," to host a banquet for Ling Zhenfei.

Since using the vegetables grown on Ling Zhenfei's farm, all the major hotels and restaurants under Lu Renben had extraordinarily good business.

Especially the Hilton Hotel, which periodically introduced various innovative dishes to attract customers and business was booming.

Lu Renben, who was usually stationed at the Hilton Hotel, heard that Ling Zhenfei had arrived and immediately set aside what he was doing. Taking a few people with him, he personally came out to greet Ling Zhenfei.

"Ah, Young Master Ling, you really are a noble guest, it's truly not easy to have you over!"

After Lu Renben had received blood pressure medication from Ling Zhenfei last time—which worked significantly well—he naturally held great gratitude towards Ling Zhenfei. After they met, he immediately gave Ling Zhenfei a warm bear hug.

After shaking hands with Ling Zhenfei, he smiled and pointed to a few middle-aged entrepreneurs standing behind him and said to Ling Zhenfei, "Come, Young Master Ling, let me introduce you. These gentlemen are prominent bosses in Binyang's food and beverage and processing industry. Perhaps you all could become partners in the future!"

Then, Lu Renben introduced the influential figures around him one by one, and true to what Lu Renben had said, these people, just like Lu Renben, were all well-known bosses in Binyang City's catering and food processing industry.

Although Ling Zhenfei's appearance and attire were very ordinary, making him look like an average Joe, these bosses, though generally conceited, were mostly polite to Ling Zhenfei considering Lu Renben's presence.

The only one named Wang Changming, owner of a seafood processing factory, was particularly arrogant towards Ling Zhenfei. While others shook hands with Ling Zhenfei after Lu Renben's introduction, he disdained to even acknowledge Ling Zhenfei, even scoffing coldly under his breath.

"President Wang, this…"

Seeing Wang Changming's proud demeanor, Lu Renben felt embarrassed and was about to speak when Ling Zhenfei smiled and stopped him without saying much more.

Next, under the arrangements of Lu Renben, everyone took their seats in sequence.

The main reason Lu Renben had everyone sit down together was to help Ling Zhenfei promote the vegetables. Consequently, the dishes served were all made from vegetables sourced from Xi Shan Farm, prepared uniquely by the hotel's high-level chefs, resulting in an even more delicious taste.

The bosses present were tasting such delicious vegetables for the first time. After trying them, most of them praised incessantly, but only Wang Changming ate his vegetables without expressing any opinion.

Lu Renben didn't bother with him, and was busy consulting with a few vegetable-related business owners at the table, facilitating several deals with Ling Zhenfei during the dinner.

The banquet proceeded smoothly, although Wang Changming, as a spoiler, occasionally showed his disdain for Ling Zhenfei. However, all were suppressed by Lu Renben playing the host's role.

Just as the banquet was about to conclude, Wang Changming's cell phone suddenly rang.

A cell phone is indeed a communication tool; its ringing was nothing unusual. However, the panicked expression on Wang Changming's face when he picked up the phone made Ling Zhenfei's heart jump, and he couldn't help but glance at his phone screen.

Between Ling Zhenfei and Wang Changming, there were several people in between, and even the keenest eyes would not be able to see the caller ID displayed on the phone's screen.

However, for Ling Zhenfei, who possessed "Perspective Eye," this was not an obstacle at all. As he looked over, he saw the name "Hei Biao" flashing on Wang Changming's phone screen.

Hei Biao!

What is this? Could it be... that Wang Changming is on familiar terms with Hei Biao, and this call is from Hei Biao?

"Mm, okay, I got it, I'll come right over!"

As Ling Zhenfei was pondering this, Wang Changming had already finished the call and stood up to speak to Lu Renben, "President Lu, sorry, I have something urgent, I need to leave first!"

After speaking, this guy didn't even bother to greet anyone else, and just walked out holding his phone.

Although Ling Zhenfei was far away and hadn't heard clearly what Wang Changming had said on the phone, knowing the person on the other end was Hei Biao convinced Ling Zhenfei that it surely wasn't anything good, and it might even concern him.

After all, he had offended Hei Biao before!

"President Lu, everyone, I just remembered that I also have unfinished business today. I need to leave first as well."

Seeing Wang Changming leave in haste, the idea of following him suddenly popped into Ling Zhenfei's mind. After bidding farewell to Lu Renben, Fatty, and all the other bosses, he hurried out the door.

Ling Zhenfei followed Wang Changming from a distance, watching as he darted into a white Mercedes and sped off. Just as he was about to hail a taxi, a car suddenly pulled up next to him with a swish, and Han Lian poked her head out, smiling, "What, are you planning to follow that car up ahead?"

Though startled to see Han Lian, Ling Zhenfei understood immediately once she spoke. Clearly, Han Lian had been keeping an eye on Wang Changming for a while.

Without hesitation, Ling Zhenfei got in the car, pointing at the speeding Mercedes ahead and said, "This Wang Changming must have some connection with Hei Biao, right?"

"It's not just a connection; they are actually in cahoots!"
