Chapter: 6393

He felt a sense of commiseration with Steve, who had experienced the sufferings of the common people.

After passing through the antique street after closing time, the place was as cold and desolate as a dilapidated building.

This kind of place has the most people in the morning when the market just opens and in the afternoon when it's about to close. At other times, it's basically a state where employees outnumber customers, and after closing, it's even more so, not even stray dogs dare to scavenge for food on the antique street because they don't have any fur.

Steve didn't know what this place was doing, but he relied on Leaf's instructions to find the entrance of Zhēn Bǎo Xiàn.

As soon as he confirmed it was the right place, he called Leaf a phone call in a courteous and slightly flattering tone: "Leaf sir, I've arrived, can you please open the door for me?"

"Alright, just wait." Leaf hung up the phone and told Zhou Liangyun, who was folding tables and chairs: "Zhou uncle, just wait. An old acquaintance has arrived."

He stood up from his stool, walked to the entrance, and opened the door.

"Leaf sir!" Seeing Leaf, Steve's face lit up with a smile, enthusiastically extending his hand, greeting him in a very polite manner: "What brings you to summon me here? Do you have any instructions?"

Leaf smiled: "No instructions. I called you to come and drink two cups of wine and see an old friend."

Steve laughed: "I only know one friend at Jinling, so that's it."

As soon as Steve was invited in, he saw a person busy at a small table. He was about to ask Leaf whether this person was his old friend, and just then Zhou Liangyuan looked up.

Their eyes met, and Zhou Liangyuan smiled, saying, "Mr. Rockefeller, it's nice to see you again."

Steve's face turned pale with surprise, and he muttered, "Leaf sir... I have some business to attend to, I need to leave first..."

Finishing his sentence, Steve turned around and was about to leave straight away.

Leaf called him back: "Hey, Steve, where are you going?"

Steve turned back around, looking desperate, and told Leaf: "You're doing it again, Leaf sir... and this time you're going to kill me!"

Leaf laughed: "Look at what you're saying. I invited you over for a meal, how did that become a plan to kill you?"

Steve looked at Zhou Liangyuan and spoke in a low tone to Leaf: "Leaf sir, my father still doesn't know where Peter is or if Peter can leave New York. It's all because of me, the son who has been eating inside and out. And Peter has already left New York, so my father won't have the chance to figure out what's going on. But if this thing gets out that I saw Peter here today, I'll really be done for! My father will definitely break my legs if he finds out that I sent him and Four Directions away from New York. Please don't torment me, just pretend I didn't come over tonight..."

Leaf patted his shoulder, consoling him: "Don't worry, Jinling is my turf, what happens here won't reach your old man's ears."

"Say that, Leaf laughed: 'We're old friends, aren't we? Can I still play tricks on you?'"

Steve cried and asked him with a pleading face: "Leaf sir, don't play tricks on me too much. If it weren't for your benevolence, I would have probably taken over the family business already."

"However, he had countless complaints in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud, so he just gritted his teeth and said: 'You can't...you can't...Mr. Leaf, you absolutely cannot deceive me...’"

"'That's fine.'" Mr. Leaf smiled and said: "'Come on, the wine and food are all prepared, let's go over and have a couple of cups.'"

"...I...he..." Steve turned around in circles, wanting to say something but couldn't.

Suddenly, he looked up and saw a surveillance camera hanging from the corner of the ceiling, and immediately knew that Mr. Leaf had got him again today. JrNovels.com
