"It's not just famous!" The taxi driver gently shook his head, "The capital is so big with so many hotels, and Times ranks in the top three. You tell me, is it famous or not?"

"Oh...really? Then I'm really uninformed."

Indeed, all taxi drivers are very talkative, and the journey was spent in intermittent conversation between Yang Yan and him.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, after paying the fare, Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun walked in.

They had already contacted Mr. Zhou before they came.

As soon as they entered the hotel, a staff member immediately came up to inquire about Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun.

When they found out that they were here for the banquet today, they enthusiastically led the two to the VIP room.

At this time, Mr. Zhou had already been waiting here for quite some time.

"Grandpa!"

Seeing Mr. Zhou, Zhou Hanyun immediately walked up quickly, hooked his arm, and sweetly called out.

"Haha! Good, good, you two have arrived. Rushing over to the capital like this, how's it going? Did you face any setbacks?"

Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Hanyun and Yang Yan and asked.

"Not at all! We just bought a house here, and many things are still in the initial stages, haven't really gotten into the work phase yet. But, after the New Year, it should be more or less sorted out."

Zhou Hanyun said with a smile.

"That's true, with this guy around, how could we let our Hanyun face setbacks!"

Mr. Zhou looked at Yang Yan, saying very satisfied.

"Um...sir, you flatter me too much, I might get proud!"

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"Alright, sit down! Why stand around?"

Mr. Zhou said with a cheerful smile, seeming in high spirits.

Once the two found a place to sit, Yang Yan began to look around.

The environment here, how to say, is indeed very good.

Moreover, it fully provides sufficient private space for the guests.

If there are any requests, just press the call button on the table, and staff will come in to serve you.

Furthermore, the surroundings are neither ostentatious nor elegant.

In short, it is an ordinary kind of plainness, giving a home-like feeling.

In a place like the capital, especially in a star-rated hotel, such a feeling is indeed rare.

No wonder the taxi driver praised this place so highly just now.

Indeed it lives up to its reputation.

"Grandpa, why did you think of holding a banquet?"

Zhou Hanyun seized an opportunity and couldn't help asking the question lingering in her mind.

"I don't know either! I just heard that someone set up a meeting for us old friends. As for who exactly it is, I don't know."

Mr. Zhou replied.

"Don't know who it is?"

Upon hearing Mr. Zhou's words, Zhou Hanyun couldn't help but frown.

This indeed sounds fishy.

Because usually in such events, the initiator of the banquet wouldn't have a reason to hide their identity.

"No idea! But I guess there's no ill intent? After all, I made some calls, and many old friends are coming."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhou had a look of anticipation.

This is quite understandable.

When people get old, you never know if you'll be around next year after this one, that's up to fate.

Especially for someone like Mr. Zhou, having a chance to see old friends is something you wish for and naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Alright, enough of that, come play a game of chess with me. When you're not in East Sea City, I can't even find an opponent to play chess with! Ah! To quote you young folks, life is truly as lonely as snow!"

Mr. Zhou put on a look of a lonely master, sighing as he spoke.

Seeing Mr. Zhou's expression, Yang Yan couldn't help but twitch his face.

Lonely as snow, he says?

If it were anything else, forget it, but with the way you play chess, last time I ate all your pieces and you still played rashly and stubbornly, did you forget?

Of course, bellyaching aside, one must know how to selectively forget such things.

No choice, he's an elder, after all!

Someone said before that the elderly and kids are alike, needing to be coaxed.

Moreover, in a public setting, you have to give Mr. Zhou some face.

Of course, you can't disappoint him either.

So, Yang Yan proactively called the staff to bring over a chess set, and the two began battling on the chessboard.

"Bro, everything's ready. That Zhou Hanyun has already arrived, surely there's going to be a good show tonight."

In another room in the hotel, Li Faction said expectantly to Li Zheng, who was sitting upright on the sofa sipping red wine.

"Heh, tonight's show is bound to be exciting."

Next to him, Li Zheng downed his glass of red wine, smiling meaningfully.

In the distance, in a standalone villa, a serene-looking woman gazed at Mo Ya, parted her lips slightly, and said slowly:

"Elder Mo, is that Yang Yan you mentioned really that extraordinary?"

Mo Ya nodded, saying very earnestly:

"Miss, I'm sure Mo Di has already told you about that day. I can only say, he displayed strength beyond what we described."

"Really?" A ripple passed through the woman's originally calm eyes, "Have you figured out his whereabouts? The Ming Ghost Scroll is the Mo Family's exclusive secret and must be retrieved quickly."

"We have figured it out." Mo Ya nodded, "He will attend a banquet tonight, and nearly all of the city's reputable families have been invited. Our Mo Family is no exception."

"Invited all the reputable families? The host is someone from the Hidden World? What's the purpose?"

The woman slightly knitted her brows and asked suspiciously.

"It's the Li Family's boy." Mo Ya smiled and explained, "His family isn't exactly from the Hidden World. However, due to having someone in the high echelons of Huaxia, they do know about the existence of the Hidden World."

"As for the purpose, it's actually closely related to this Moonlight Emperor we just mentioned. You could say, this is a Hongmen Banquet, targeting him."

When Mo Ya said this, he couldn't help but laugh.

However, the smile on his face was full of mockery.

"Oh? Someone's actually targeting the Moonlight Emperor, isn't that the same as courting death?"

The woman said curiously.

Mo Ya no longer kept it a secret and directly told the woman about Li Zheng and Zhou Hanyun.

"Really? Does Moonlight know?"

The woman also couldn't help laughing.

In her view, Li Zheng's approach was practically courting death.

Moreover, if he gets himself killed, whatever, but if he accidentally provokes Yang Yan, it could mean annihilation for his entire family.

"Moonlight probably doesn't know. After all, this is a matter of the present world, and he has no connections here in the capital."

Mo Ya said.

"Understood, pass the word, get ready, I want to attend tonight's banquet too."

the woman said with a smile.

Mo Ya nodded, turned around, and went out to prepare.
