Chapter 4114 - 4133: Hongmen Banquet?
"Someone is watching us in secret..."Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang were shopping with others, when he suddenly said, "Did you feel it?"
Nalan Wushuang replied, "Indeed, there’s a sense of being watched. But since this is a public place, I didn’t make a fuss."
Gu Yuexi answered, "No one is following us."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I mean someone is watching us secretly, not following us. With technology so advanced, watching people doesn’t necessarily require someone to follow, the thing watching us is in the skies."
Zhuang Susu added, "And there are various surveillance cameras. I’ve noticed them, when we entered indoor places, some surveillance cameras nearby automatically adjusted their angles to focus on the area where we were."
Shang Wenyao frowned, "Could it be that guy from a few days ago, unwilling to let go, wanting revenge?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "I don’t know. They can watch if they want, it’s a public place after all, it doesn’t matter."
Gu Yuexi said troubledly, "Federation technology is too advanced, both in the skies and on the ground, everything is within the network. Except for a few places, basically there are no blind spots, all cities are under surveillance, there’s no privacy."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Who let this be Emperor Star, and First District is the heart of Emperor Star, arguably the most important place in the entire Federation, so security issues are naturally the most important."
"If you don’t do anything illegal, it really doesn’t matter, these monitors are a form of protection for ordinary people..."
People discussed for a while, but didn’t pay much attention.
Whether the other side is observing themselves, or whether they’re planning revenge, everyone didn’t take it to heart, anyway, if soldiers come, use generals, if water comes, use earth.
Emperor Star’s First District is very prosperous, all kinds of high-tech can be seen everywhere in life, Planet 11 is already technologically advanced, but compared to Emperor Star, it’s like the difference between a county and a metropolis.
After the people played for a while, they returned to the hotel. As soon as they entered the door, they saw three men stand up from the hotel lobby’s sofa and quickly walk over, blocking the people in front.
Lin Chen looked at the men in front, "Blocking the road, what do you need?"
"Mr. Lin, the family head invites you."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, "We are new arrivals, we don’t know any family head."
The leading brawny man said in a deep voice, "The young man you had a conflict with here a few days ago is our Wei Family’s young master. The family head feels very sorry for the presumptuous behavior of the young master, so he arranged a banquet to apologize to Mr. Lin, and at the same time, the family head wants to make friends with Mr. Lin."
Lin Chen was slightly surprised, he originally thought the other side was coming to cause trouble, but turns out they’re saying it’s an apology?
Somehow it feels a bit unreliable?
"Wei Family?"
Lin Chen inquired, "Since you know my name, you must also know I’m not from Emperor Star, so I don’t know the Wei Family you mentioned, why don’t you give me a briefing, is this Wei Family very powerful?"
The brawny man calmly replied, "There are millions of wealthy families on Emperor Star, but only thirty-six have names and strength to be recognized as the most powerful, and the Wei Family is among them."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "So in other words, the Wei Family is one of the thirty-six most powerful forces on Emperor Star, is that what you mean?"
The brawny man replied, "Yes."
Lin Chen said coldly, "Such powerful people, their child was intimidated, not only did they not retaliate, but they are apologizing with wine, how can I find it hard to believe, are all the wealthy families on Emperor Star so rule-abiding, so polite?"
The brawny man calmly said, "The family head also wants to make friends with Mr. Lin, and discuss a big trading deal."
Lin Chen casually asked, "How big is this trading deal?"
The brawny man smiled and said, "In general, it won’t disappoint Mr. Lin."
Lin Chen turned to look at the women beside him, "What do you think, should we go?"
Nalan Wushuang replied, "Since the other side has come to us, this matter should have an ending. Let’s go, see what they want to say."
Lin Chen saw everyone was of this opinion, and readily nodded: "Alright then, since the meal is free, let’s go."
The brawny man extended his hand to guide the guests, "Mr. Lin, ladies, this way please, we have already prepared a car."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You have prepared quite thoroughly, aren’t you worried we might refuse?"
The brawny man softly said, "Meet once, there’s no loss, right?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Indeed."
People walked to the hotel entrance. A silently came luxurious flying car flew over and stopped in front of everyone.
Lin Chen and others boarded the car. The car quickly took off, heading into the distance.
In a room in the hotel, a young man in a leather jacket was lying on a bed, crossing his legs. A giant light curtain in front of him displayed the scene occurring at the hotel entrance.
The young man turned over, sat up from the bed, and frowned.
"What is the Wei Family up to, not seeking revenge, actually inviting people over, is the Wei Family so kind-hearted?"
The young man switched the screen, it changed to an overhead view, the luxurious car was at the center of the screen flying.
The young man watched just like that, observing the luxurious car leaving the urban area, then heading into a vast manor.
"Wei Family Manor, why are they inviting people there?"
The young man frowned, thought a bit, got up, turned off the light curtain, and headed outside while dialing the Team leader’s phone.
"What’s the matter?"
"Team leader, three people from the Wei Family just came. They invited Lin Chen and the others away. They’re now at the Wei Family Manor..."
The sound of the sunglasses woman coldly rang out, "Go watch the Wei Family. If there’s anything, notify me immediately. Keep a close eye, don’t get distracted."
"Team leader, you think something’s to happen?"
"With my understanding of the Wei Family, this meal is probably not a kind one. It could well be a purposefully calculated banquet. Anyway, watch outside the Wei Family, if there’s any situation, notify me immediately."
"Okay!"
...
Lin Chen looked down through the flying car’s window, below was a huge manor surrounded by an enormous fence.
Calling it a manor isn’t exactly accurate, it’s more like a county, not to mention the vast area, there are dense high buildings, and who knows how many people live inside.
"Is the Wei Family here?"
The brawny man explained, "Yes, now everywhere you see belongs to the Wei Family. After all, it’s a big family, more people, a small place can’t accommodate them."
Lin Chen smacked his lips, Good heavens, this one family must have tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand people.
Are the wealthy families on Emperor Star really so populous?
"Are other wealthy families like this too?"
The brawny man replied, "More or less, it’s basically like this. Each has its own territory, providing space for their family members to live and thrive..."
