Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

But if Chu Longtu didn’t know that Pei Qinghai wanted to kill him, how can we explain Chu Longtu’s current actions?

Countless thoughts suddenly popped up in Gan Shaohua's mind, but he rejected them one by one, and he could not really confirm the reason why Chu Longtu acted like this.

But no matter whether he was sure of the reason behind Chu Longtu's actions, Gan Shaohua was very clear about one thing, that is, he could not remain silent any longer.

If this weird confrontation continues, there’s no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.

If Chu Longtu leaves and Pei Qinghai's plan fails, then there will be big trouble.

Gan Shaohua decided to take action and he forced a smile stiffly.

"Hello, Mr. Chu, I am..."

Chu Longtu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he just raised his hand to interrupt him, looked at him indifferently and spoke.

"I don't care who you are, I just want to ask you one thing."

"Are you Pei Qinghai?"

Gan Shaohua was a little confused by the question and instinctively shook his head to deny it.

Soon he noticed that Chu Longtu's expression became increasingly cold and his voice became increasingly harsh.

"very good."

"Pei Qinghai sent someone to invite me here for a meeting, but he didn't come here to greet me in person. Instead, he sent a small follower whose identity is unknown to greet me. Is this your sincerity in inviting me here?"

Gan Shaohua was stunned.

He never expected that the reason why Chu Longtu acted like this, which made him rack his brains but couldn't figure out, was actually because he was dissatisfied with Pei Qinghai for not coming to greet him?

Of course, according to the principle of equal reception, Pei Qinghai should have been the one to greet Chu Longtu in person.

But this is Pei Qinghai's territory after all, and given the Pei family's strong position in Hedong, they have never insisted on so-called equal reception.

The fact that Pei Qinghai asked his most trusted adopted son Gan Shaohua to receive him was enough to show that he valued this meeting. However, he did not expect Chu Longtu to directly attack him with this reason.

Gan Shaohua's experience over the years was not in vain. He reacted quickly and spoke immediately.

"Father is not unimportant to this meeting, but he is ill and too weak to come to greet me in person. I hope Mr. Chu will forgive me."

Chu Longtu listened to Gan Shaohua's lame excuse and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.

Shaking his head slightly, Chu Longtu did not bother to ask whether Pei Qinghai was really unwell, but directly issued an ultimatum.

"Either ask Pei Qinghai to pick me up in person, or I leave now."

“There is no third option.”

"I'll give you thirty seconds to decide."

Chu Longtu snapped his fingers lightly, and the big man standing next to him immediately raised his hand to look at his watch and started counting.

"30,29,28..."

Gan Shaohua wanted to continue explaining, but who would have thought that Chu Longtu didn't even give him a chance to talk nonsense and started the countdown directly.

As time passed, Gan Shaohua became more and more anxious.

He had no doubt that Chu Longtu would leave immediately once the countdown was over, and he was even more aware of what the consequences would be if Chu Longtu left.

At the very least, this could cause their plans to fail completely and all the resources invested to be wasted.

To put it in a bigger picture, they are very likely to miss this their only chance. Once Chu Longtu Casino opens and successfully establishes a foothold in Hedong, it will be really difficult for them to deal with Chu Longtu again.

Gan Shaohua knew that this was no longer something he could handle. While cursing Chu Longtu madly in his heart, he turned around and prepared to report the situation to Pei Qinghai.

But just as he turned around, he saw the door behind him opened again, and Pei Qinghai pushed the door open with a faint smile on his face, speaking as he walked.

"Thank you Mr. Chu for coming. I'm really sorry for not welcoming you."

Gan Shaohua widened his eyes and looked at Pei Qinghai in surprise and delight. He was about to speak, but as if he thought of something, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Chu Longtu looked at Pei Qinghai who was coming towards him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Pei Qinghai?"

"I heard from your son that you were not feeling well, and I was thinking that maybe today was not a good day, so I decided to come another day. Why did Mr. Pei come down again?"

Pei Qinghai listened to Chu Longtu's words without changing his expression and laughed.

"Mr. Chu is here. Even if I am lying in bed and unable to move, I have to come down to greet him."

"Children are ignorant. If I said something wrong just now, please don't mind, Mr. Chu."

"Come on, come on, I've already prepared some tea upstairs, and I'm just waiting for Mr. Chu to come."

Pei Qinghai very enthusiastically invited Chu Longtu to go upstairs. Chu Longtu curled his lips without comment, glanced at Gan Shaohua, and then said nothing. He walked inside with Pei Qinghai.

As soon as he moved, six strong men in suits followed him forward.

However, Chu Longtu passed through the gate smoothly, while six burly men in suits were stopped at the gate by Pei Qinghai's bodyguards.

"Wait, you can't go in!"

Pei Qinghai's bodyguards shouted coldly, while the members of the hound retrieval team who came with Chu Longtu were too lazy to pay attention to them. They followed them in with cold faces without even looking at them, and the two sides immediately started pushing and shoving each other.

Pei Qinghai's bodyguard drew his gun without hesitation and pointed it at the members of the hound retrieval team, giving them a stern warning.

"Stop it, or I'll shoot!"

Chu Longtu and Pei Qinghai, who were walking in front, stopped and looked back when they heard the sound behind them. When they saw Pei Qinghai's bodyguards drawing their guns and pointing them at the members of the hound retrieval team, Chu Longtu narrowed his eyes dangerously and said lightly.

"Mr. Pei, what does this mean?"

"They are my personal bodyguards. Do you have other intentions for doing this?"

Pei Qinghai did not reply to Chu Longtu immediately, but glanced at Gan Shaohua.

Gan Shaohua spoke quickly, looking embarrassed.

"Father, according to the rules they need to be searched before entering."

"Besides, they were carrying weapons..."

Gan Shaohua pointed at the bulging waists of six men in suits. It was obvious that what was contained there was not something pleasing to the eye.

Pei Qinghai then looked at Chu Longtu and said with a smile.

"Mr. Chu, if they are your bodyguards, of course they can go in."

"But according to the rules, in order to ensure that our conversation goes smoothly, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for them to bring their weapons in."

"look……"

Pei Qinghai didn't continue speaking, but looked at Chu Longtu.

Chu Longtu looked at him for a moment before speaking.

"Unarm."

"This is Mr. Pei's territory. With him protecting my safety, what am I afraid of?"
