“Dad, Uncle Li, you’re here? Why are you standing there? Come on in!” Tang Meng could only shout at them. He couldn’t move since there were too many people surrounding Ling Yun and him.

“Uncle Li, let’s talk inside?” Ling Yun smiled at Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng nodded slightly. His aura was so powerful that the people around them took the initiative to give way.

That was the benefit of power.

Ling Yun didn’t care, but that didn’t mean ordinary people could follow suit. A deputy provincial officer was a dazzling existence in Huaxia!

Ling Yun could kill. Li Yifeng naturally couldn’t. Similarly, Li Yifeng could let people take the initiative to give way without speaking, which was also something Ling Yun couldn’t do.

Su Lingfei squeezed out to the clinic front when she heard Tang Meng shouting. She regretted deeply in her heart for not bringing the photographer when she saw Li Yifeng, Tang Tianhao, and Ling Yun alongside each other. This was headline news!

There was no loss, however. Ling Yun wouldn’t have accepted her interview anyway.

Long Tianjiao was irked and helpless that Ling Yun left him hanging outside of the clinic. He was the nouveau riche of the Long Family. He couldn’t possibly just enter the clinic uninvited, right?

“Ling Yun, I saw some people I knew by the side. What are they here for?”

Li Yifeng asked as they walked. Of course, he was asking about the business leaders beside Long Tianjiao. Some of them greeted him with great awkwardness when he passed by just now.

“Probably here to congratulate me? There are too many people in the clinic, so I didn’t let them in...” Ling Yun laughed audibly.

Li Yifeng was speechless. Ling Yun really didn’t care about these big players, eh. Every one of them was a huge taxpayer in Qingshui City. No matter who they came with, their purpose was to congratulate him, and he actually got them to stand outside?

This lad was really ridiculous! Simply ridiculous!

“Erm... Ling Yun, it would be bad to leave them standing outside like this...”

Li Yifeng roughly understood Ling Yun’s temper. It wasn’t convenient for him to make things very clear, that’s why he had to use a roundabout tactic on him.

“I’ll let them come in since Uncle Li says that it’s bad to do otherwise...”

Ling Yun instructed Tang Meng with telepathy, asking him to bring Long Tianjiao and his gang in. Tang Meng had met Long Tianjiao and his gang, so this job was perfect for him.

“Uncle Li, there are too many people on the first floor. Let’s go up to the second floor to talk...”

It was nearly time. The most important people were already here. Tang Tianhao and Li Yifeng were the last group of people he could personally receive.

Tang Meng went to welcome Long Tianjiao and his gang while Tie Xiaohu and his brothers prepared for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The Green Dragon Sect was a gang, but that didn’t mean that the people inside were bad. Long Kun didn’t accept those who were bad to the core.

Green Dragon’s main businesses were mainly underground casinos, bars, karaoke establishments, clubs, spas, high-end leisure clubs, hotels, grocery stores, and transportation. They were also loan sharks but were determined not to deal in drugs.

They had to be loan sharks, how else could they maintain the gang?

Don’t ever look down on the humble grocery store. The citizens had to eat every day, and Green Dragon monopolized pork, beef, and mutton. That in itself generated huge income.

What the people of the underworld meant by obtaining territories actually meant who controlled these side businesses in secret. Whoever made more money could feed more members.

The brothers that Tie Xiaohu called over to help were all decent people, devoid of criminal records and responsible. They were smart, capable, agile, and they had seen the world. They were much better than the five nouveau riches Tang Meng brought with him.

The second floor of the Ordinary People’s Clinic was actually filled with people now. There was Qin Dongxue, Miracle Doctor Xue, Lin Zhenggang, Zhuang Tiande, and some people with powerful backgrounds. There was no place for the young to sit.

Liu Li, Li Hongmei, Zhang Manyun, and the other women had gone to the bedroom.

The protagonist of the second floor, the beautiful Qin Dongxue, had now turned into a statue. She stopped taking the initiative to talk even though she was sitting in the middle. She had a fixed smile on her face as she listened quietly to the chattering of the people around her.

Qin Dongxue was fuming inside. Who were these people? Miracle doctor, military commander, the richest man in Qingshui, Cui Lao, a pregnant woman — it was a huge mess! She would have escaped long ago if she wasn’t the only elder in Ling Yun’s family present at the occasion.

Qin Dongxue finally heaved a sigh of relief when Ling Yun appeared. Her wait was worth it!

Li Yifeng had come to the second floor as well. The first person he saw was Miracle Doctor Xue. He walked over immediately and without hesitation and gave a respectful bow. “Hello, Uncle Xue.”

Miracle Doctor Xue smiled without getting up. “You’re here, Yifeng? Don’t stand on ceremony, sit down quickly!”

Miracle Doctor Xue’s status was undeniable. He was also a benefactor of the Li Family. He had the qualifications to stay put in his seat.

Li Yifeng nodded respectfully and solemnly to Miracle Doctor Xue before turning to Lin Zhenggang, who was seated beside Xue Miracle Doctor. Li Yifeng was stunned inwardly but extended his hand to Lin Zhenggang nonetheless.

“Rear Admiral Lin, you are here as well?”

Were Li Yifeng and Lin Zhenggang acquainted? No, they had never met, neither had they spoken on the phone.

However, that didn’t mean they didn’t know who the other party was!

Lin Zhenggang had to understand everything about the place his precious daughter was working. As for Li Yifeng, he had to at least pay attention when the Jiangnan Provincial Military held military exercises with another provincial military, didn’t he?

Therefore, they knew who the other was.

The military and political circles were two distinct factions in Huaxia. They couldn’t appear to be too close.

That was why one would rarely see a general have a meal with the provincial party secretary. It was even more impossible on television. It was taboo.

This was in certain considerations to the country.

Only the real head of state lead both the military and political circles. Everyone else would only die trying.

Lin Zhenggang stood up slowly and took Li Yifeng’s hand. He smiled but didn’t say anything.

It wasn’t convenient for him to speak.

Lin Zhenggang was actually very annoyed. He never thought that the grand opening of a small clinic would create such an uproar. It was almost bigger than his military exercise!

It was inappropriate for a rear admiral like himself to appear at such an occasion. He thought that he would bring his daughter to congratulate Ling Yun, give him his gift, lecture him, and then leave.

However, he wouldn’t be able to answer to his old man if he were to do that now! That was the source of the fire in his belly.

It would reflect badly on him if he were to leave before the grand event. Therefore, he had to sit there and reply only when he wanted to. He felt as though his seat were on fire.

Li Yifeng started greeting everyone else with a face full of spring breeze, missing no one. Tang Tianhao did the same, but he was caught off-guard. Big pearls of sweat ran down his head.

Ling Yun had the easiest time. He would have gone to Yao Rou’s room if he wasn’t required to introduce everyone.

Bai Xianer, Miao Xiaomiao, Xue Meining, Yao Rou, and Zhang Ling were in one big bedroom together. He didn’t know what they were chatting about, but they didn’t appear even when they heard Ling Yun coming up the stairs.

Lin Menghan, Kong Xiuru, and Liang Fengyi — the more mature woman — were in another bedroom. They were of similar age and had more in common.

In yet another bedroom, Zhang Manyun, Li Hongmei, Liu Li, and Xu Bingyan were seated alongside the bed. Zhang Manyun was collecting all sorts of useful information about Ling Yun, as she assumed the identity of his mother-in-law.

Zhuang Meina was the most pitiful. She didn’t seem to be able to integrate herself into the room where Xue Meining was. She was more reluctant to interact with those who were more mature. Hence she had to stand around alone.

“So lively, but it’s a bit too huge this time...” Ling Yun could see everything easily with his divine senses. He scratched his nose as he spoke.

“Rascal, this is your doing! See what I’ll do to you after today!”

Qin Dongxue’s protest buzzed around Ling Yun’s ears. That was through telepathy, of course.

“Aunty, I didn’t want it to be like this either. Who knew that so many people would come today!” Ling Yun offered.

“Don’t act stupid with me. You know I’m not referring to that!” Qin Dongxue pouted.

Qin Dongxue didn’t mean the total number of people, she meant the woman that came over today! There were simply too many! Two hands weren’t enough to count them!

Moreover, they were all of goddess level!

Ling Yun could only chuckle, knowing that he couldn’t get past that.

He decided not to return to Qingshui Wharf’s Mansion Number Nine after the opening. He would find all sorts of excuses, such as busy in the clinic, busy studying, etc. He swore not to see Qin Dongxue in order to keep his head on his neck.

There was no choice, he wouldn’t be able to explain this!

Tie Xiaohu pattered up the staircase right at this moment.

“Big Brother Yun, we’re ready. Shall we have the grand opening now?”

Ling Yun couldn’t help thinking that Tie Xiaohu was really timely. “Yes! Let’s open her up!” he said without hesitation.
