Chapter 583: Zhou Botao's Warning (1/3)
Zhang Shaoting hurried back to the hotel.
Because just now, his dad had called urgently, telling him to return immediately. Zhang Shaoting thought something had happened.
Opening the door to the CEO's office, Zhang Shaoting shouted, "Dad, what's going on?"
Upon seeing Zhang Shaoting, Zhang Qishan immediately stood up and said, "Do you know why Yang Chen came to our hotel?"
For top-tier business meetings like this, the chosen hotel is naturally the most upscale in Ningchuan, so the first choice was definitely the Zhangkou Grand Hotel.
But there had been an unexpected incident last time. Yang Chen had called in the guards, causing the hotel to close for several days, nearly shutting it down!
Honestly, if Yang Chen hadn't come out on top in the end, the Zhangkou Grand Hotel might have been an empty building by now.
So, now that Zhang Qishan saw Yang Chen bringing a group of foreigners and key figures, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
Zhang Shaoting was taken aback upon hearing this, blinking at his father and saying, "What? The boss came back? I mean, did Brother Chen come back?"
In Zhang Shaoting's eyes, Yang Chen was his boss now.
Zhang Qishan frowned and said, "You didn't know?"
"I didn't know!" Zhang Shaoting said, "I haven't heard from Brother Chen in days. Where is he now? Which floor?"
Zhang Qishan waved his hand, indicating that Zhang Shaoting shouldn't worry, and frowned, saying, "Since you don't know... then he probably just returned not long ago."
After the last incident, the Zhang family had exhausted all their resources, yet they couldn't find any information about Yang Chen, as if he'd disappeared into thin air.
Now that Yang Chen suddenly appeared, it was indeed quite shocking.
However, on second thought, since those people couldn't do anything to Yang Chen, it showed that Yang Chen was now fine, and even those in charge probably couldn't lay a finger on him.
With this in mind, Zhang Qishan informed Zhang Shaoting of Yang Chen's location.
Immediately, Zhang Shaoting eagerly ran to the floor specifically used by Yang Chen and his group.
However, as soon as Zhang Shaoting got out of the elevator, he was stopped by several people and asked various questions.
Zhang Shaoting could only express that he was there to find Yang Chen, which allowed him to stay and wait.
Soon, the meeting ended, and Yang Chen was the first to walk out.
"Brother Chen!" Seeing Yang Chen, Zhang Shaoting called out.
When Yang Chen saw Zhang Shaoting, he said a word to the people around him and walked over.
"Brother Chen!" Zhang Shaoting appeared very excited upon seeing Yang Chen, "When did you get back, Brother Chen? We've been worried sick lately!"
During this period, Zhang Shaoting had indeed been very worried, asking around everywhere but failing to get any information about Yang Chen.
Yang Chen said, "I'm fine. How have you been doing with your training lately?"
Yang Chen could see that Zhang Shaoting had not slacked off in training, as his muscular build was evident.
"I've been training every day. I've even started learning some combat skills from Brother Hao," Zhang Shaoting said.
Yang Chen thought for a moment, nodding slowly, "That's not bad. Start from the basics, but from now on, don't train with Wang Hao. Building up muscles isn't enough for actual combat."
"Then I..." Zhang Shaoting was excited, staring at Yang Chen.
If he isn't allowed to train with Wang Hao, could it be that he would receive real training?
Yang Chen said, "I'll let you know, and I'll arrange it for you!"
"Alright! Hehe!" Zhang Shaoting chuckled foolishly.
Yang Chen told Zhang Shaoting to go back first and then continued to dine with his group.
...
At the Dragon Tooth Base.
They welcomed their old friend, Zhou Botao, once again.
However, this time, it wasn't Jian Feng who greeted him, but Night Fire.
"Zhou Botao, why are you here again?" Night Fire frowned, staring at Zhou Botao, speaking in a deep voice.
Zhou Botao let out a cold laugh and said indifferently, "What? Not welcoming an old friend?"
Night Fire said sternly, "Zhou Botao, we were very clear last time: if you wish to rejoin Dragon Tooth, we warmly welcome you. But if you don't, stop showing up here! Otherwise, don't blame us if the bullets have no eyes!"
Honestly, in the years since Zhou Botao left the team, no one knew what had happened or how he had changed, and now Zhou Botao's image and strength commanded caution.
Moreover, his frequent appearances made Night Fire feel very insecure.
After all, Dragon Tooth is a top-secret organization, and no one could be allowed to enter so casually.
Zhou Botao waved his hand and said, "I'm not talking to you. Let Jian Feng come out."
"Sorry! He's in confinement. If you have anything to say, say it to me, I'm the acting captain," Night Fire said in a deep voice.
"You? Acting captain?" Zhou Botao frowned, sneering, "Are you kidding me? The captain is gone, fine, but can the acting captain be replaced at will?"
"You have no right to question our Dragon Tooth Squad's personnel arrangements!" Night Fire said coldly.
Zhou Botao gave a cold snort and prepared to walk inside.
"Stop!" Night Fire blocked Zhou Botao, staring into the eyes hidden behind the cold iron mask, saying coldly, "Speak if you have something to say, otherwise, leave immediately! Forget about entering the Dragon Tooth Base!"
Zhou Botao glared back at Night Fire angrily, "The Dragon Tooth Base isn't yours alone!"
"And it's definitely not yours! The Dragon Tooth Squad belongs to the Dragon Tooth Squad, and you're no longer part of it!" Night Fire roared.
Zhou Botao took a step back, staring at Night Fire with a sneer, "Without the Dragon King, what kind of Dragon Tooth Squad is that!"
"Zhou Botao!" Night Fire shouted angrily.
Zhou Botao paid no heed to the enraged Night Fire, saying coldly, "Without Yang Chen, there's no Dragon King. Without the Dragon King, what kind of Wolf Fang Squad is that!"
"Shut up!" Night Fire drew the knife from his waist, pointing it angrily at Zhou Botao, "You have no right to comment! You don't know anything!"
Zhou Botao glanced at Night Fire's knife, saying coldly, "Do you think you can beat me? If the Dragon King were here, perhaps I'd have some concerns, but in your case... hmph!"
Though Zhou Botao didn't say it, his contempt was evident.
But Dragon Tooth Squad isn't just Night Fire alone.
Mastiff came over, standing behind Night Fire.
Da Lei also came over.
And then there were Left Hand, Pole Star, Killing Star...
The members of Dragon Tooth Squad stood together, all staring at Zhou Botao.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Botao couldn't help but frown.
He glanced around at everyone, finally fixing his gaze suspiciously on Night Fire, "Are you so afraid of me meeting Jian Feng?"
Night Fire replied in an icy tone, "I already told you, Jian Feng is in confinement, and during confinement, it's not up to you to decide to see him!"
"Confinement!" Zhou Botao chuckled coldly, slowly retreating, "I never thought you'd still have time for this. Fine, let me give you a piece of free information: someone plans to make a move on Yang Chen, and this time it's different from before. Whether he'll live or die, no one can say for sure!"
With the last word spoken, Zhou Botao had vanished into the darkness.
"Damn it!" Night Fire cursed, furiously flinging his knife, but Zhou Botao was already gone.
