Southern suburbs, across the Qiantang River.

It was originally a little remote, but a few years ago, the city government began to shift its development strategy to the Qiantang River, and it began to become an inch of land, with high-rise buildings and European-style villas rising from the ground.

There is a hill about four or five miles away from the river, which was very barren a few years ago, but now a villa area has been developed under the mountain, which belongs to the place where the rich live, and later golf, equestrian, shooting and other clubs have been developed one after another, but they are all places for rich people to play.

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove slowly and smoothly into the place where the rich lived, not followed by a car.

It seems that Shangguan Mingyuan is here to negotiate peace, otherwise he should be followed by a slippery car.

In a room of the golf club in the distance, through the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Rolls-Royce phantom slowly driving away, Yao Weiye, who was tall and slightly fat, breathed a sigh of relief.

The car passed through the clubhouses, and then slowly drove to a central clubhouse surrounded by stone walls to isolate the outside world, the main building is a full-scale glass clubhouse, as well as a variety of guest houses, swimming pools, tennis courts, bars, artificial lakes and other top-level clubs.

Unlike other clubhouses that are full of all kinds of famous cars, there are only about 20 cars parked in the empty parking lot here.

Looking at the staff who were only standing at the door in charge of reception, Ah Chang's eyes flashed with a trace of dissatisfaction, and his old face, which was as cold as a stone sculpture, became more and more cold.

Shangguan Mingyuan obviously felt Ah Chang's mood fluctuations, and smiled faintly: "I still remember that I came here three years ago, and Lu Xiaochuan led a group of subordinates to stand at the door with great fanfare, and I was a little embarrassed by my enthusiasm. ”

"Later, he will definitely regret not coming out to greet the master in person like last time. Ah Chang said calmly, but his tone was full of coldness, which made people feel chills in their hearts when they heard it.

Shangguan Mingyuan glanced at Ah Chang and smiled: "Your temper is still the same. ”

Ah Chang's calm old face showed a rare hint of embarrassment, and then stopped the car steadily.

The two walked one after the other on the winding path, which stretched to the clubhouse in the center of the main building.

From a distance, the two saw five people standing at the door, one of whom was very fat, and his eyes were squeezed by the fat on his face so that he could barely see it. The other four have their own characteristics, but one thing is the same, they are all over forty years old, and if you feel it carefully, you can detect a hint of a fierce atmosphere.

When the five of them saw Shangguan Mingyuan and Ah Chang appear on the tree-lined path, their eyes lit up slightly, their expressions immediately became serious, and they hurriedly took a few steps forward. Only the middle-aged fat man in the middle, that is, Lu Xiaochuan, the owner of this club, looked a little unnatural, and barely squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile, completely squeezing out a pair of eyes.

"It seems that Zhang Bao invited a lot of like-minded people tonight. However, I heard that there have been a lot of newcomers on the road recently, and all the old faces I see are them. It seems that young people don't look down on us old people. Shangguan Mingyuan said lightly as he walked forward leisurely. It doesn't seem to realize that tonight's date is a dragon and tiger fight.

Ah Chang didn't speak, just quietly followed behind Shangguan Mingyuan, but his face became more and more cold.

"Boss!" the four middle-aged and elderly men greeted Shangguan Mingyuan with a respectful face. Then he hugged his fist at Ah Chang.

They are all people who have experienced the era of Shangguan Mingyuan, and even mixed with Shangguan Mingyuan for a period of time when they first debuted, and they are all Shangguan Mingyuan's younger brothers. This is also one of the reasons why although Shangguan Mingyuan has washed his hands for many years, his status in the rivers and lakes is still unbreakable. Because he not only has direct children like Hu Dong in his hands who still dominate the underground forces, but also many of the people in Hanglin Road who used to be his younger brothers.

Shangguan Mingyuan smiled, then took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with them one by one, and said: "They have all withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, what boss is not the boss, if you can afford it, you can call me Brother Shangguan, and it seems casual and kind." ”

The four men looked a little gloomy when they heard this, thinking about how high-spirited Shangguan Mingyuan was back then, and how masculine and domineering he was in his gestures, but now he can, but he is more like a kind and kind old man, and his words also reveal the loneliness of no longer being competitive.

Could it be that Shangguan Boss is really old, does he really want to surrender to defeat?

The four of them all thought so in their hearts, and they held Shangguan Mingyuan's hand tightly with a heavy heart, to show that no matter what the situation was, they all supported him in their hearts, and they all recognized him as the boss.

The four of them didn't know that Shangguan Mingyuan's unintentional dispute between the rivers and lakes was indeed true. After all, he has now embarked on the path of immortality, and if he wants to compete for hegemony, he is not fighting for hegemony in the world. He talked to them so cordially, without showing a trace of the domineering spirit of the past, not because he was afraid of Zhang Bao and wanted to make peace, but because he felt the importance of affection and righteousness with them.

Lu Xiaochuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his power and his industry were all in the south of the city, and Zhang Bao's power also happened to be in the south of the city. Although he had tried his best to curry favor with Shangguan Mingyuan before, but now that Zhang Bao is in the limelight and is in the same territory as him, he naturally has to turn around, so as not to offend Zhang Bao. Therefore, as the master today, he deliberately went to the gate to greet Zhang Bao, but he greeted Shangguan Mingyuan here, which was a gesture.

Of course, Shangguan Mingyuan's prestige is especially there, Lu Xiaochuan's heart is actually still up and down, and now that he heard Shangguan Mingyuan say this, he finally completely relieved his heart. Facing Shangguan Mingyuan, he was no longer so nervous, and the expression on his face became natural.

"Brother Shangguan is here, it's really brilliant!" Lu Xiaochuan took two steps forward and said with a smile, stretching out his fat hand to shake hands with Shangguan Mingyuan.

The faces of the other four changed slightly, and they glanced at Lu Xiaochuan with some disdain and some anger.

The people on the road are very particular about their status and status, and Shangguan Mingyuan is the recognized godfather and the recognized boss of the entire Hanglin City Road, and he is a legendary figure. What is Lu Xiaochuan? When Shangguan Mingyuan was in the power of the rivers and lakes, he was just a gangster at the bottom. Even now, although Lu Xiaochuan has made a name for himself, he is still far from qualified to call Guan Mingyuan a brother and shake hands.

A cold snort came out of Ah Chang's nose, and an extremely sharp gaze flashed in his seemingly dim old eyes. The hostile cold snort and fierce gaze made Lu Xiaochuan's heart tremble, and a chill rose from his spine, and then he suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little too presumptuous.

Shangguan Mingyuan only smiled faintly, shook hands with Lu Xiaochuan, and said, "I'm sorry to borrow your place to do business tonight." ”

Only then did Lu Xiaochuan put his mind at ease, and the four of them looked more and more gloomy when they saw this, and even a little sad and sad.

Shangguan Mingyuan glanced at the four of them, knowing what the four of them were thinking, but he didn't break it, nodded at everyone, and said, "Go in." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked leisurely inside.

The hall of the club is spacious and gorgeous, and the decoration is luxurious and luxurious, but also elegant.

Usually, the lights are always brilliant here, and celebrities and celebrities mingle here, gather and talk, and look like a prosperous scene of high society. But tonight, the lights were still bright, but the whole hall was empty, except for a large oval table, under a ridiculously large crystal chandelier in the center of the hall.

The crystal chandelier emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the long table below it extraordinarily abruptly, making the whole hall look extremely empty and serious.

At the top of the long table, facing the door, sat Zhang Bao, and behind him stood a man in a black suit, all with a fierce light in his eyes.

There were more than a dozen people sitting on both sides of the long table, men and women, young and old, all of whom were faceless people on the road in Hanglin. There were also more or less one or two of his men standing behind them.

Everyone saw Shangguan Mingyuan, who was dressed in Tang costumes, and it seemed that everyone was elegant and elegant, and some of the slightly older people reflexively wanted to stand up, but they were swept away by Zhang Bao's murderous gaze, and sat back again, not daring to look at Shangguan Mingyuan again. Some young faces boldly looked at Shangguan Mingyuan with curious eyes, they were young and vigorous, and their hearts were arrogant, although they had heard of Shangguan Mingyuan's prestige, but they were not afraid of him in their hearts, but they were very curious about what kind of person he was.

Seeing Shangguan Mingyuan walking over with a calm face, the big man who used to say that he was just a kind old man who had passed his prime, and those young people couldn't help but show great disappointment and contempt on their faces.

How can such an old man be compared with Zhang Bao, who is like Zhongtian and ruthless?

"Brother Shangguan, it's been a long time, haha!" Zhang Bao stood up and hugged his fist towards Shangguan Mingyuan from afar.

Seeing Zhang Bao standing up with a smile from the position of representing the boss with an arrogant face, Ah Chang, who was closely behind Shangguan Mingyuan, immediately looked at the fierce light, shook his fists, and the roots and tendons burst out like the roots of an old tree, and his footsteps moved forward slightly, just waiting for Shangguan Mingyuan to speak.

"It's been a while when it's gone, it seems that Shibei Sanyu should be impressed!" Shangguan Mingyuan said lightly, and then sat down at the other end of the long table with a calm face.

Everyone saw Shangguan Mingyuan sitting down calmly, with all kinds of expressions. There are contempt, there are gloomy sadness, and there are also secretly relieved......

Zhang Bao saw that Shangguan Mingyuan, who was known as a powerful Quartet in the past, sat down like this, which was completely inconsistent with the image he imagined, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

But soon, Zhang Bao's deeply sunken eyes undisguised his contempt, and the smug and arrogant look on his face was also a lot stronger. Now he is completely relieved, even if Shangguan Mingyuan was once strong, he is still old after all.

"I don't know, what advice does Brother Shangguan have for meeting the junior brother this time?" Zhang Bao leaned back leisurely, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked.
