CHAPTER 261 A TRAP?

Jiang Ning only felt that Master Fu had good taste.

Of course Lin Yuzhen was a good girl. Jiang Ning was more aware of this than anybody else.

The dinner began.

Master Fu chatted casually with the other bosses of Shengcheng while Butler Zhao started serving the dishes.

Nobody talked about the Lu family, and nobody dared to talk about how Shengcheng was lost then restored. And absolutely nobody dared to talk about how Jiang Ning had slaughtered all the best of the Lu family and sent them right back to Linhai.

They couldn't even understand why Master Fu had invited Jiang Ning here.

Wouldn't these two tigers end up fighting if they sat next to each other?

If Jiang Ning was here to take control of Shengcheng's illegal circle, then tonight's dinner was very likely a trap!

But Jiang Ning had brought along the most important woman to him.

Zhang Cheng and the rest couldn't figure out what on earth was going on. They were all nervous, anxious, wary and uneasy.

But Jiang Ning still looked relaxed and very calm. He casually chatted with Master Fu about some things that happened in Shengcheng before, a few things about illegal circles and even talked about Master Fu's younger days.

They were like old friends reminiscing over a drink. They didn't look like enemies at all.

Even Lin Yuzhen had given a toast to Master Fu and wished him happy birthday.

The atmosphere of the dinner started to slowly relax. The bosses started to relax and started coming forward to give a toast to Master Fu and Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning didn't drink a single drop and didn't let Lin Yuzhen drink any either. Of course, nobody dared to make Lin Yuzhen drink either. They just drank their own cup down. It was enough for them if Lin Yuzhen even lifted her glass.

After a few rounds, Master Fu's face started turning a little red.

This was the most he had drunk for the past twenty odd years.

"Zhao, bring the cake out.”

They had finished drinking and eaten quite a bit. So it was time to share the birthday cake with everyone.

But when they heard Master Fu talk about taking a cake out, all the bosses started looking nervous.

Sharing the cake meant a different thing to illegal circles. That was not referring to splitting a real birthday cake up.

It referred to splitting the territory.

Was Master Fu finally going to make his

move?

Everyone kept a smile on their faces, but it was hard to hide their anxiety. All of them were holding their wine glasses with trembling hands.

They didn't know if it was the alcohol, but they were all really nervous!

Jiang Ning didn't react, but Lin Yuzhen was a little curious. Why did talking about a cake make everyone so agitated? Hadn't these people eaten cake before?

That was impossible.

Butler Zhao placed the cake carefully on the table, then took a cake knife and placed it in front of Master Fu.

"I'm already fifty, and within our circle, I'm really not considered young anymore," he sighed. "When I look at all of you, I would remember my younger days. When I was your age, I was probably very much like you now. I chased after many things and I wanted many things."

Master Fu scanned the room. "Humans are all like that, right? Without any ambition, then I would have lived for nothing, no?"

Everyone nodded.

"But after I've lived for so long, I started thinking to myself. What's the most important thing in life?" Master Fu turned to look at Zhang Cheng. "Do you know what's the most important thing?"

Zhang Cheng laughed, “Money, I suppose.”

Master Fu asked a few others, and they all gave different answers.

Master smiled and finally shook his head. "The most important thing is to be alive."

Everyone didn't dare to say anything. They could barely even keep a smile on their faces.

If this wasn't a trap, then what was it?

Where was Broken Sword?

They hadn't seen Broken Sword anywhere!Original content from .
