The man dared not say more. Jin Ge had a powerful figure behind him, and few in Chu Zhou would dare to disrespect him.
At night, Chu Zhou's streets were ablaze with lights, and crowds bustled to and fro.
Jin Ge sat in a coffee shop, looking quite pleased, as if waiting for someone.
Before long, a figure arrived at the coffee shop and sat opposite Jin Ge. "I'm extremely busy, what do you want me for?"
"Cousin!" Jin Ge bowed and called out, "You're doing so well in Chu Zhou now, shouldn't you help out your brother a little?"
"Your Uncle only has you as a son. If there's anything good, I'll naturally prioritize you," Boss Qian said frankly. "But you should know, I only deal in legitimate businesses, and you probably can't handle that!"
"Brother, are you insulting me?" Jin Ge rolled his eyes. "It's precisely because I'm not doing proper business that I have no proper work, otherwise who would want to run around aimlessly!"
"Your reputation in Chu Zhou has not been good these past few years. Even if I let you manage business matters, you might not be able to handle them well," Boss Qian stated frankly. "It's not that I'm trying to criticize you, brother, but you should change your ways!"
Jin Ge looked displeased but dared not openly show it. He was well aware of Boss Qian's status in Chu Zhou, and his current swagger was largely due to Boss Qian's influence.
"By the way, what did you want me here for today?" Boss Qian asked curiously. "It can't be just for coffee, right?"
"Of course not. I think I offended someone today," Jin Ge said. "That kid had quite an arrogant tone. I don't know if he has the capability, so I'm a little uneasy!"
"Are there people in Chu Zhou you're afraid of?" Boss Qian scoffed. "But the few families I warned you about, you haven't offended them, have you? If it were them, I might not be able to do anything."
"Don't worry, cousin. I wouldn't make such a foolish mistake," Jin Ge nodded repeatedly. "Some people can be offended, and some absolutely cannot. I understand that clearly!"
"It's good that you think that way!" Boss Qian nodded. "But who did you offend today? Do you know their identity? So I can help clean up your mess."
"Actually, I don't know. It should be the boss of the abandoned factory," Jin Ge shrugged. "He looked very imposing, but he was very young. He's probably not a big shot."
"How did you get into a conflict with the factory owner?" Boss Qian frowned.
"It's not that I ran out of money, so I went back to my old tricks," Jin Ge said frankly. "That factory just opened. Is it too much for me to ask for a million?"
"What basis do you have for asking him for a million?" Boss Qian suddenly stood up. "With such behavior, if that person has someone backing him, do you know how much trouble that could cause!"
"Even if there is someone, don't I have you, cousin, backing me!" Jin Ge quickly said.
"While that's true, there have been many important figures in Chu Zhou recently. As long as you don't provoke them, I can help you resolve it!" Boss Qian nodded. "If you provoke them, even I might be in trouble."
"Is it really that serious?" Jin Ge was surprised. "Who are these people that make you so wary?"
"There are things you don't know!" Boss Qian waved his hand. "They are not for you to know. You just need to understand that some people can be offended, and some absolutely cannot. In Chu Zhou, if you hear the surname Lu, no matter who they are, retreat immediately!"
"Surname Lu?"
Jin Ge nodded slightly. "I haven't encountered anyone with the surname Lu all year round!"
"That would be for the best!" Boss Qian nodded. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going. Don't forget what I told you."
Jin Ge nodded slightly, preparing to stand up and see him off.
However, at that moment, several cars arrived outside the coffee shop, looking quite imposing. Several men emerged from the cars, approaching the coffee shop with cold expressions.
Jin Ge was also a bit surprised. "These people aren't here for you, cousin, are they!"
"Your cousin doesn't have that kind of clout!" Boss Qian frowned. "This is the livery of the Zhao family of Chu Zhou. How dare I offend them!"
With that said, Boss Qian sat back down. "These are people from the Zhao family. I don't know why they've come to this coffee shop. Let's not provoke them easily. Let's sit here and have a coffee first!"
Jin Ge nodded slightly, feeling a bit nervous. Those who could make Boss Qian so wary were no ordinary people.
Moreover, he had known in the past that within Chu Zhou, the Zhao family was the dominant force, a colossal existence that other powers could not afford to offend.
Now that the Zhao family had personally appeared, it was likely to cause endless ripples.
However, at this moment, Boss Qian felt a tremor of shock. Through the glass door of the coffee shop, he had already recognized the man being escorted by the Zhao family members.
"Someone from Lord Lu's side?"
Boss Qian muttered, even more surprised. Could someone have offended Lord Lu to cause such a stir?
Thinking this, Boss Qian was about to step forward to greet them when he saw Han Yunhai approaching them.
Jin Ge had initially paid no attention, but upon seeing Han Yunhai leading the group, he suddenly had a bad premonition. This bad feeling grew stronger and stronger, and he slumped onto the table.
"Clan Leader Han, could it be that someone has offended Lord Lu?" Boss Qian stood up and cupped his fists. "To cause such a grand display!"
"Boss Qian, aren't you asking the obvious?" Han Yunhai sneered. "I've inquired thoroughly. The person before you is your cousin. Are you trying to play dumb with me now, pretending to be so innocent?"
Boss Qian trembled and looked sharply at Jin Ge. "How did you offend Lord Lu? You truly have the audacity of a leopard."
"I..."
Jin Ge collapsed onto the ground, his legs no longer obeying him. In the past, his cousin would personally resolve any issues for him in Chu Zhou. But if he had offended Lord Lu, even his cousin would be powerless.
"Allow me to tell you!" Han Yunhai said coldly. "Lord Lu's uncle opened a company, and your cousin extorted him for a million. When the Lord himself stepped forward, he showed no respect and took the million-dollar check!"
"You scoundrel!" Boss Qian was furious. "You dared to offend Lord Lu, you deserve to die!"
Boss Qian slapped him. Jin Ge, under everyone's gaze, was knocked to the ground, but he quickly scrambled up and knelt before Han Yunhai. "I didn't know, I truly didn't know he was Lord Lu, otherwise even with the courage of a bear and a leopard, I wouldn't have done such a thing!"
Han Yunhai's expression was cold. He paid no mind to Jin Ge's words but looked at Boss Qian. "You know Lord Lu. Handle this matter as you see fit."
