"Alright now, I won't waste any more time. Since Master Zhou is in a hurry, I'll make this short."
Liang Hao-Nan refilled Zhou Bo-Tong's tea and started talking about why he had called them here together tonight.
He decided to just leave Ye Fan wherever he was standing.
Even though Liang Hao-Nan didn't think much of Ye Fan, Ye Fan was someone that Li Xue-Qi had recommended after all.
No matter how much Liang Hao-Nan despised Ye Fan in his heart, he didn't want to fall out with the Li family, so he just let Ye Fan listen in.
Ye Fan could follow them tonight if he wanted to.
Just like what he said earlier, even if Ye Fan wasn't able to fight, at least he could still be used to block an attack or two.
The room fell silent and it was left with only the sound of Liang Hao-Nan's voice.
Apparently, the Liang family knew about the jade hiding in a cave of Xishan a long time ago.
That was why they bought that section of Xishan and was going to mine the jade for themselves.
But just last month, a man named Wen Liang suddenly took over that cave and even injured the Liang family's subordinates.
"This Wen Liang is very highly skilled in martial arts. I sent a few dozen burly men over a few days ago with bats to beat him up, but he ended up defeating all of them instead. I really had no other choice but to ask that Mr Zhou goes over to get rid of that thief for me! As long as you're able to get rid of that Wen Liang and get that jade cave back for me, this $5 million in cash is all yours. You can take it that the Liang family is supporting the development of martial arts!"
Liang Hao-Nan got his subordinates to open a gunnysack to reveal cold hard cash inside.
Zhou Bo-Tong's breathing had clearly quickened when he saw so much cash.
But he pretended to be calm and waved his hands about. "We can talk about the money later."
"How much do you know about this Wen Liang?”
Zhou Bo-Tong wasn't stupid.
Money was important, but his life was more important.
If Wen Liang was too powerful, then even if Liang Hao-Nan gave him $10 million, Zhou Bo-Tong wasn't going to do this.
So Zhou Bo-Tong wanted to understand how powerful this Wen Liang was first.
He was going to evaluate if he could defeat this opponent first.
Liang Hao-Nan didn't reply Zhou Bo-Tong's question and just waved his arm.
Two of his men brought two jadeite rocks that weighed nearly 50 kilograms each into the room.
"Mr Zhou, please come and have a look,” said Liang Hao-Nan in a low voice.
"Is this...?" Zhou Bo-Tong furrowed his brows.
A neat and clean cut was seen on the two black and shiny jadeite rocks.
They looked like they were made from tofu and had been cut neatly by a steel knife.
"That's right, Mr Zhou. When I sent the last group of men over, my bodyguard risked his life to carry these rocks down for me. According to him, Wen Liang broke these rocks with just one hand! These huge and heavy rocks were broken into half with just one strike of the hand."
Silence.
It was silent for a long time.
After Liang Hao-Nan said these things, the entire room was quiet for a moment.
Many people in the room gasped.
After all, Liang Hao-Nan had also called several strong and muscular men to come along and help fight as well.
This was the first time they got to know about what this Wen Liang was capable of, and they were all shocked.
"This Wen Liang can break gold and jade?!"
"No wonder Mr Liang kept losing to him. It's hard to find someone like that even in all of Yunzhou," exclaimed some of the people in the room.
But just when everyone was still horrified by Wen Liang's capabilities, the old man who was sitting on the sofa suddenly got up.
He walked over to that huge rock with large strides.
He did a half squat and gathered his energy together.
