l to the ground, transforming into a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He was plump, with a small round face full of curiosity towards their group.R ripples and Leia exchanged a glance, then nodd...Zhou Zi Jue held a glass of champagne and, when he had free time by the ripples, pretended to walk over.

Congratulations to Yunyi Sister, for becoming the new leader.

As he spoke, he also raised his glass of wine towards Ren.

The ripples were quite gracious, taking the glass in his hand, bumping it against the other's, and then smiling as he said:

"I'm lucky."

"Before Zeng Hongliang was powerful, he had been suppressing Yun Jie. Now that he's gone, you have actually made the entire group even stronger."

Zhou Zijue said something with a hint of meaning.

"

It's not about suppression, it's just that everyone has different business philosophies. In today's era of informationization, networking, and globalization, the way Zeng Hongliang used to operate, with violence and force, is no longer popular.

"

Ripples swayed in the goblet, cleverly retorted.

"How is that possible! Some methods never get old, they still work. For example, Yun Jie forcefully borrowed that batch of goods from the Zhou family. I wonder how we'll be able to return them."

Zhou Zijue asked very directly.

I'm not interested in your Zhou family's other businesses. I only want to reclaim all the arms trading leads, and from now on, only my family will be allowed to trade weapons.

Ripple didn't pretend not to know, but instead stated it openly.

"You want to monopolize everything! I see that you didn't show any mercy when Dan and Jian handed over their businesses."

Zhou Zijue snorted coldly.

You're wrong, they weren't willingly handed over, I took them myself!

Do you know how many assassins they hired to deal with me Why should I show them mercy Winners write the history, and they just can't face reality. I can only teach them a lesson.

Ripple smiled faintly.

"It's their fault for being naive. The Zhou family has always been low-key, and our main business isn't in arms. Perhaps we can explore a different way of cooperating."

Zhou Zi Jue saw that Lian Yi was unmoved, so he offered him an olive branch. This was also the purpose of his attendance at this banquet.

Before coming here, he visited his father, the former head of the Zhou family, Zhou Hongyu. He told Zhou Zijue that Yun Yi was currently in high spirits and had even used the police to bring down the Single family and the Jian family, causing trouble for their Zhou family as well.

In this game, they are already at a disadvantage. Since continuing to oppose the Zhou family wouldn't benefit them in any way, they should join Yun Yi. But this "joining" is within quotation marks. What they want to do is be flexible and adaptable, slowly working their way up.

After receiving his father's encouragement, Zhou Ziju would only propose the invitation so directly.

"What good suggestions does Miss Zhou have, let's hear them."

Ripple also chimed in.

Zhou Zi Jue was now leading Lian Yi towards a corner of the banquet hall. Some things were definitely not convenient to let a third party hear.

Ripple didn't refuse. She walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window, gesturing for the other person to speak. Meanwhile, Lion, Gong Fan, and Malu stood three steps away from the two of them, forming a semi-encircling formation that temporarily separated them from everyone else. This created a space where they could communicate privately while also being protected.

Zhou Zi Jue's female companion, watching the two of them chatting amiably, stomped her feet in anger. She directly tilted her head back and finished the red wine in her glass, then, holding up her skirt, walked away.

"Sister Yun, our Zhou family mainly uses the weapons we buy for ourselves. We rarely sell them, so it's fine if we don't do this business. It's just that our white transportation channel needs military support, so..."

Zhou Zi Jue spoke cryptically, but Lian Ri understood. She nodded thoughtfully and said:

"So, you're saying from now on you'll only sell arms to me and stop dealing in them altogether"

"Of course, and when we ship the goods, we can also ask Sister Yun's people to help transport them. We'll split 20% of the profit with you. What do you think"

"Aren't you afraid I'll take all the goods"

Ripples asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Sister Yun, every line has its own way. Just like what you do is the arms business, you can get on the European line, and our Zhou family also has our Zhou family's connections. Can you borrow our goods once You can't borrow from my family every time."

Moreover, since the Zhou family failed to deliver on time, the buyer would not let it go easily. If they knew the goods were in Yun Jie's hands, they probably wouldn't...

Zhou Ziju didn't finish his sentence, but Lianyi understood what he meant.

"You're threatening me!"

As soon as the ripples subsided, a sound like grinding stones reached her ears.

"You have been targeted by a sniper!"

Where

"The building opposite!"

Zhou Zi-jue watched the clouds in front of him darken his face. He turned to look out the window, and the next instant he heard a "poof" sound. Then he saw that on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window that Yun Yi was looking at, there suddenly appeared a hole with a bullet embedded in it. He instinctively lowered himself.

The man across the building, holding a sniper rifle, saw through his scope that his target was still standing. The glass in front of her hadn't shattered, and the red-clad woman's gaze was directly on him. He frowned and murmured:

"It's bulletproof glass!"

Immediately, he reloaded the bullet, one shot wouldn't do, so two shots it would be. He decisively pulled the trigger, aiming for the same spot as before. He was confident this time he would pierce the bulletproof glass.

Ripple looked at Zhou Ziju, who was shrinking back and preparing to leave the floor-to-ceiling window. She directly kicked out with one foot, kicking the other person far away, causing him to crash into a row of tables where self-service meals were placed. Immediately after, the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window where Ripple stood shattered with a "crash."

A series of incidents caused chaos in the ballroom, with women screaming incessantly.

As the ripples hit Zhou Zi-jue, he quickly ducked behind a pillar beside the floor-to-ceiling window, effectively concealing his figure.

But the sound of bullets hitting the ground kept going "poof, poof." The worst part was that guests were running around the banquet hall like headless flies.

The lion and Xuansi had already arrived at Ripples' side, while Gongfan hid on the other side. All three of them held guns in their hands.

"Lion, take Xuansi to disperse the guests. Don't let them become targets."

Gong Fan, we need to take out that killer and have Ma Lu bring the weapons.

"Received, take care of yourself!"

The lion and Xuansi immediately responded, saying that if anything happened to these people, this renaming ceremony would be a joke.

"Don't panic, everyone. Find cover, crouch down in place, and I'll take charge of getting you out of here. If you run around, you'll become targets!"

The lion's roar was powerful, everyone heard it. In order to save their lives, they immediately sought cover, either lying down or crouching, behaving themselves completely.

Two gunshots rang out from the entrance of the banquet hall, causing everyone to duck their heads lower in fear, terrified that a bullet might strike them.

"Bang!" The door was kicked open with a powerful kick. Ma Lu strode in, carrying a pistol box in his hand. He immediately threw the pistol box towards Gong Fan's direction.

With a "pop," the magazine was hit and veered off course, landing right in front of the wide-open bay window.

The lion and Xuansi have already begun to move, taking the guests closest to the gate first.

Gong Fan was looking at the gun case right in front of him. He just poked his head out when a bullet whizzed past his ear.

"Fan, come up with a way to kick the gun case!"cold. Yuan Chongming had no choice but to carry his child and venture out to find medicine, which is how he met the original owner who was almost frozen to death.""Thank you for the reminder, I'll go...
