The arrival of the Rong Sect ultimately made Captain Ge dare not say a word, directly letting Ye Qiu go.
Ge Tian, standing nearby, was also dumbfounded.
The weight of Li Hai and Rong Sect arriving personally is imaginable.
Especially Rong Sect, his importance is particularly imnse.
Although Captain Ge personally watched Ye Qiu and the others leave, he still had questions in his heart, not understanding who Ye Qiu truly was to mobilize the Rong Family Patriarch and the Li Family's young master to co personally.
In summary, in a short ti, the matter of Rong Sect and Li Hai both appearing to bail out a young man caused a strong sensation between the sub-bureau and related departnts.
Afterwards, Ye Qiu left the sub-bureau with Rong Sect and Li Hai.
On the way, Ye Qiu thanked Rong Sect.
Rong Sect smiled and said, no need to be polite, it's all for the sake of our partner Bai Lan.
Ye Qiu smiled without speaking, but kept questions in his heart.
This Rong Sect, the more flawless he seed, the more suspicious he was, surely having another purpose.
But Ye Qiu couldn't figure out what Rong Sect's purpose was for the mont.
Next, Rong Sect made small talk with Ye Qiu, wanting to invite Ye Qiu to dinner, but Ye Qiu politely declined, and only then did Rong Sect leave.
After Rong Sect left, Ye Qiu called Bai Lan to assure her that he was safe, and Bai Lan felt relieved after hearing Ye Qiu was okay.
Then he hung up the phone.
At this mont, only Ye Qiu and Li Hai were left in the scene.
For Li Hai, Ye Qiu wasn't planning to just say a few words of thanks and leave it at that.
After all, Li Hai had helped Ye Qiu repeatedly on demand.
Ye Qiu wasn't good at expressing himself, but he always rembered in his heart who treated him well.
"Li Hai, thank you again today. Tell what you want to eat, and I'll treat you." Ye Qiu said generously, planning to invite Li Hai to dinner as thanks.
"Brother Ye, why are you being polite with ? The fact that you called ans you trust , I'm too happy to have your trust."
Li Hai chuckled and scratched his head.
"It's just… I didn't do much, it was Rong Sect's influence in the end…" Saying this, Li Hai's tone was sowhat dark, evidently disappointed for not being able to control Ge Tian and Captain Ge earlier.
Ye Qiu was not very familiar with Li Hai's family circumstances, but now that he was brotherly with Li Hai, he naturally had to do what he could for a brother, reaching out to pat Li Hai's shoulder.
"Li Hai, no matter how others see you, in my eyes, you are my best brother. Don't worry, I'll help you get the position you want whenever I get the chance."
This statent truly ca from Ye Qiu's heart; although it seed like re comfort to Li Hai for now, sooner than expected, it actually ca true.
With Ye Qiu's words, Li Hai was revitalized, a happy expression erging on his face, wanting to drink heartily with Ye Qiu.
But at this mont, Li Hai received a phone call.
It was his elder brother Li Cheng, telling Li Hai that the patriarch returned from a business trip today, and the family was holding a banquet, urging Li Hai to co ho.
The patriarch ca back today; doesn't this an the little gathering with Brother Ye is spoiled?
Li Hai was a bit hesitant, the family banquet was important, but bonding with Ye Qiu over drinks was also very important.
Li Hai didn't know how to choose when his brother Li Cheng asked.
"Li Hai, are you with Mr. Ye now?"
"Yes, Brother Ye said he wanted to treat to dinner. It would feel rude to turn him down."
Rather than returning to that scheming family, Li Hai preferred to drink candidly with Brother Ye. But with the patriarch back, attendance was also crucial, as missing it might not look good.
As Li Hai was about to succumb to choice paralysis, Li Cheng said.
"Dummy! Why don't you invite Mr. Ye to our family banquet?"
Li Hai slapped his forehead, "Of course! That would kill two birds with one stone!" Yet, turning his gaze to Ye Qiu, he felt a bit anxious, worrying Ye Qiu might decline.
"Li Hai, you must invite Mr. Ye. Last ti at the Rong Family, it was Mr. Ye who helped us get out of a tight spot! This ti, the patriarch wants to thank Mr. Ye face-to-face at the banquet."
Li Cheng instructed emphatically before hanging up the call.
Ye Qiu heard Li Hai speaking with Li Cheng, and before Li Hai could ask, he said.
"We can drink anywhere, going to your place makes no difference. Since your family is inviting warmly, I won't be polite and will go."
Li Hai imdiately rejoiced, thrilled at Ye Qiu's willingness to attend their family banquet, a sign that Ye Qiu was getting closer to them.
Actually, Ye Qiu was looking out for Li Hai, plus earlier at the sub-bureau, Ge Tian's remarks towards Li Hai intrigued Ye Qiu about the inner workings of Li Hai's family.
After speaking, Li Hai drove Ye Qiu to his family's villa.
Although the Li Family's villa wasn't located in the most bustling area of Hong Kong, it was certainly in a charming place.
The interior was almost as spacious and grand as the Huo Family's villa.
The broad and magnificent hall sparkled under crystal lights, with dozens of servants bustling to and fro, embodying the grandeur of a wealthy family.
As Ye Qiu and Li Hai entered the hall, it was filled with the Li Family's mbers young and old, over a hundred, almost like a small gala.
As Ye Qiu walked in, so of the Li family's younger mbers cast questioning glances at him.
Obviously puzzled why a stranger was at their family banquet.
These were naturally the family's lowest descendants, unfamiliar with Ye Qiu. But soon, so elders who attended the Rong Family event a few days ago recognized Ye Qiu, eagerly drawing near to express their admiration.
"Oh my! Isn't this Mr. Ye! We didn't expect you at our family banquet, what a pleasure it is!"
"My goodness! Mr. Ye, your presence at our banquet is indeed a surprising delight!"
"Mr. Ye, I am the old seventh in the Li family; I was in awe of your presence at the Rong Family's banquet the other day. Here's my card, I hope you'll accept it!"
"And mine, Mr. Ye, please take my card, so we can stay in touch if needed!"
Suddenly, Ye Qiu was surrounded by a layer of sowhat balding, pot-bellied, greasy middle-aged n.
Ye Qiu found himself a bit bewildered, not expecting to be overwheld by such enthusiasm upon arrival.
Turning back, he saw Li Hai couldn't even squeeze into this circle of fervor.
Nearby, the Li family's younger mbers exchanged confused glances, even more bewildered.
Who on earth was this guy?
The elders who usually looked down on people were sohow so reverent of him?!
