Chapter 303: 301, dark history? It doesn't exist!
He glanced through the detailed information about Rich Source Gold Group that Luofeng had posted.
The brotherhood chat group exploded.
"Damn it?!"
"Damn it?!"
"Damn it?!"
After three consecutive exclamations, Luofeng typed, "?????"
"Chen Ergou's family?!"
"Brother Feng, are you really going to make a move?"
"Calm down, Brother Feng. The Chen family's power is still very strong, not on the same level as Wu Yufan's house."
Unmoved, Luofeng replied, "What if I topple the Chen family's Golden Group?"
The chat filled with question marks.
"No way?!"
"Are you serious about making a move?"
Luofeng said, "I'm serious. If I have a way to topple Rich Source Gold Group, do you guys have any means to go after the Chen family?"
"If there's a way to topple the group, then there's definitely a way to deal with the Chen family," Chen Dali stated.
"The Chen family's reputation isn't great, but the Golden Group is too stable. After all, the fundamental market for gold is very solid. Theoretically, it should be untouchable," Li Bo Kai messaged.
Chen Dali added, "Even if something happens to this Golden Group, we still have another enemy: Capital City Commercial Bank."
"Yes, that bank has a good relationship with the Chen family. If anything happens to the Golden Group, they will intervene," Li Bo Kai typed.
"Normally, issues up to 10 billion aren't a problem for Rich Source Gold Group. But the group only has a market value of 20 billion, and most of that is the value of their physical gold holdings, so we can't really touch them."
Luofeng smiled. If it was truly untouchable, why would he even bring it up?
"There's a teahouse downstairs in our apartment building. Let's all come over for tea and discuss this."
Luofeng messaged the group.
"Received!"
"OK!"
"Brother Luo Feng, you don't even dare to leave Cloud View International anymore?"
"It's all Brother Dali's fault, saying he called for some 'atmosphere group'..."
Luofeng was speechless for a moment, then typed, "I'll wait for you at the apartment. We'll grab a casual lunch here too. I'll bring Duanmu Yunji. Are you guys bringing dates?"
Chen Dali replied, "I'll bring Su Xiaohu."
Lin Xiaoyun typed, "???? Damn it, Brother Dali! You just screwed over Brother Feng, and now you're going to screw us all over?"
Chen Dali typed, "You think I want to? You blocked her number yourself. She showed up at my door, insisting I bring her to you. What was I supposed to do?"
Li Bo Kai typed, "This is going to be entertaining. I'll bring Tang Shiyu, my high school classmate. I brought her to the club once before; you guys know her."
Lin Xiaoyun typed, "I'll message Wang Xue and make her think Brother Dali is inviting her to eat."
Luofeng instantly remembered this Wang Xue. Not because she was exceedingly beautiful—her looks were rated around an eighty. But she was a little chubby, and she kind of liked Chen Dali.
Luofeng typed, "Oh? Hitting each other where it hurts, are we?"
Li Bo Kai typed, "They're thinking that since our sister-in-law knows what happened yesterday, after today's meal when we discuss business, we can arrange a spa treatment for them. If our sister-in-law happens to mention yesterday's events, wouldn't that solve both of their problems at once?"
"Damn it!" Luofeng was speechless. "What a pair of scumbag men!"
Lin Xiaoyun retorted, "Aren't you the same, Li Bo Kai?"
Li Bo Kai replied, "I'm different from you two. Tang Shiyu and I are completely platonic. I just brought her to make up numbers. She's a good girl, and I feel comfortable having her hang out with our sister-in-law."
"Alright, see you later then."
Luofeng sent the message.
He then headed towards the piano and sat down next to Duanmu Yunji. They began their piano duet.
"Yunji, I've arranged lunch with the three brothers, right here in our apartment. We'll all go together in a bit. They're bringing their dates too," Luofeng explained.
Duanmu Yunji hummed, seemingly understanding. "Got it. I'll wait, and I won't expose them."
What in the world?! Luofeng had intended for her to reveal that the three brothers had brought girls over to stay the night yesterday. Considering both of them were such Scum Men, they wanted her to expose them to drive the two women away. And now Duanmu Yunji was choosing to keep it a secret? How infuriating could this be?
"No, what I meant was..."
Before Luofeng could finish, Duanmu Yunji interrupted, "Brother Feng, I understand. I won't make things awkward for you!"
Duanmu Yunji rested her small head on Luofeng's shoulder.
"..."
Luofeng was speechless. But on second thought, for the sake of their brotherhood, Duanmu Yunji had done the right thing. As their brother, he shouldn't tarnish his brothers' reputations, right? Yes. This is probably what being a good man is all about, huh?
「About half an hour later.」
Chen Dali and Su Xiaohu were the first to arrive. Luofeng and Duanmu Yunji were waiting in the entrance hall.
When Duanmu Yunji saw Chen Dali and Su Xiaohu come in together, she asked in confusion, "What's going on here? I don't get it!"
"We'll talk about it on WeChat later," Luofeng said, then greeted them, "Brother Dali, over here."
Soon, Chen Dali and Su Xiaohu walked over. Chen Dali naturally took a seat next to Luofeng, while Su Xiaohu sat next to Duanmu Yunji. The two young women quickly struck up a conversation.
Luofeng sat next to Chen Dali, consoling him, "Don't worry, Dali, our Miss Ferrari is reasonable and won't betray you guys."
Chen Dali gave him a death stare. "Brother Luo Feng, are you messing with me?"
"Sorry, even though our brotherhood is strong, this time, I have to be a 'Steel-Straight Man'!" Luofeng chuckled.
A moment later, Lin Xiaoyun and Wang Xue arrived.
Well, now. Mutual destruction. They really did bring the people the other least wanted to see.
Chen Dali said, "Xiaoxue, let me introduce you to these two..."
"No need, I know them all. Go ahead with your discussion, Brother Dali. Yunji, Little Fox, and I are all acquainted," Wang Xue responded.
Huh?! Chen Dali started to panic. Wang Xue had actually managed to bond with Su Xiaohu and Duanmu Yunji? When did this happen? He had no idea!
Li Bo Kai chuckled softly, "Hehe, Brother Dali, Lin Xiaoyun, congratulations to you both. All your problems are solved today."
Luofeng, however, laughed. "Not at all. Our Miss Ferrari is reasonable and surely won't gossip about your shady pasts."
"What the hell?" Li Bo Kai looked at Luofeng, puzzled.
Lin Xiaoyun complained, "I already got that off my chest earlier."
"Me too!" Chen Dali glanced at Wang Xue, who seemed to have smoothly integrated with the girls, and a sudden fear gripped him. Was he about to be played?
Soon, under Lin Xiaoyun's arrangements, the group had lunch in a private dining room. After all, this was Lin Xiaoyun's family business, so he naturally handled the arrangements.
The brothers chatted about everything under the sun, from cell phones to cars, from international affairs to global warming.
The four young women, on the other hand, discussed simpler topics like clothes, bags, and accessories.
After lunch, Lin Xiaoyun announced, "Ladies, I've booked a full spa package for you. Bai Jie will take you there. We guys will stay here, have some tea, and discuss things."
Duanmu Yunji smiled at Lin Xiaoyun. "No problem, thank you, Brother Xiaoyun."
"Thanks, Sister-in-law!" Lin Xiaoyun shot her a meaningful glance.
But Duanmu Yunji feigned ignorance. Secrets! They must be kept! I won't spill their shady pasts!
Yet, Duanmu Yunji sensed something. Do they actually *want* me to reveal their shady pasts? How odd!
"I've already given instructions. No one will disturb us for a while."
In the tea room, once Lin Xiaoyun had arranged everything, he casually closed the door.
