The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 359: Dark Breath……_1

Hai Xiaotang paused, then spoke with a smile, “It’s I who should feel honored to receive your help.”

Bai Jinyu let out a soft laugh, but his smile was so clean and calm that it felt like a refreshing breeze.

“So, let’s cherish our mutual honor tonight. And I wish you receive good news soon.”

“Thank you.” Hai Xiaotang smiled and hooked her arm through his, leaving with him.

On the way to the banquet, Shi Xiaotang listened as Bai Jinyu briefly told her about the person they were meeting today.

The man’s name was Lu Feng. It was his 70th birthday today. He only ran a few casinos in C City and his family wasn’t particularly rich.

But behind the scenes, he was respected and feared by many; hardly anyone dared to cross him.

As for why, Bai Jinyu did not explain to Hai Xiaotang. However, she could guess that the Lu family possessed some undisclosed influence.

These things shouldn’t concern her though; all she hoped for was his help.

According to Bai Jinyu, Lu Feng should be willing to help them, barring any surprises.

Seeing his certainty, Hai Xiaotang’s heart filled with anticipation.

Soon, they arrived at the hotel.

Many people had come to celebrate Lu Feng’s birthday and the hotel was already filled with guests.

However, Xiaotang noticed that many of the arriving guests seemed more than ordinary. Not that she knew them or they held any prestigious status.

It was because they all gave off a certain ominous aura…

Lu Feng himself, too, seemed to have a dark underworld persona.

In the past, Hai Xiaotang would have avoided these types of people. But now, circumstances were different; she probably required some darker underworld power to find her grandfather.

At the first opportunity, Bai Jinyu led Hai Xiaotang over to Lu Feng.

Despite being seventy, Lu Feng stood tall with a spirited and vibrant gaze.

Hai Xiaotang matched eyes with him once but dared not do so again…

“If it isn’t Young Master Bai?” Noticing Bai Jinyu, Lu Feng was quite pleased, “Having Young Master Bai attend my birthday banquet is truly an honor.”

Bai Jinyu replied with a faint smile, “You’re being too formal, Mr. Lu. I am the one who is honored to attend your birthday banquet.”

“Haha, Young Master Bai is as humble as always…” Lu Feng seemed to respect Bai Jinyu highly and his conversation was filled with courtesy and warmth.

Bai Jinyu exchanged pleasantries with him for a bit and then he introduced Hai Xiaotang.

“Mr. Lu, this is my friend, Hai Xiaotang. Her grandfather was the former general of C City – Hai Zhiyuan. I think you must know him.”

Lu Feng glanced at Hai Xiaotang; his eyes shimmered slightly, “Yes, of course, I know him!”

Hai Xiaotang also greeted him politely, “Mr. Lu, I am honored to attend your birthday banquet. I wish you happiness as boundless as the Easterly ocean, and a life as enduring as the Southern mountains.”

“Ha ha…” Lu Feng laughed heartily, “What a sweet talker! She’s a good kid. I like her!”

Seeing his satisfaction with Hai Xiaotang, Bai Jinyu got down to business, “Mr. Lu, the fact is, besides congratulating you today, we also have another request.”

Once he heard this, Lu Feng seemed to know what was coming.

His smile faded as he glanced at Hai Xiaotang, “Are you talking about General Hai’s situation?”

Hai Xiaotang was surprised; he knew about her grandfather’s disappearance.

Then again, considering his well-connected nature, he would naturally be aware.

Bai Jinyu calmly nodded, “Yes. I owe a debt to the Hai family, so I want to help find General Hai. However, as you know, I am unfamiliar with this place, so I must ask for your assistance.”
