Ruiyuan City Jail.

At the door.

Xu Taiping's BMW 740 stopped right in front of the gate. Then, Xu Taiping looked at his watch.

It had been more than half an hour since he left the police station in Ruiyuan City.

The guard at the entrance of the prison was the same one who had told Belgarath that he would walk him out if he left the prison within three days. He was surprised to see Xu Taiping's car.

"Could this person really be that powerful?" The prison guard frowned. However, after some thought, he thought that he hadn't heard anything today. This person should be here to look for someone, right?

At that moment, the prison guard suddenly saw a person appearing at the other tunnel.

The man was carrying a suitcase, and his clothes had changed into those of an ordinary person.

The guard walked out of the sentry pavilion in surprise and stood by the passageway. He looked at the guard beside the old wolf and asked, "What's going on?"

"This person will cure it if it means that he is defending another's wife." Another guard said.

"Bail out to a doctor?" The prison guard at the entrance looked at the old wolf in shock.

With a smile on his face, Old Wolf walked in front of the prison guard and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to send me off?"

"I've been here for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen one like this. "Awesome!" The prison guard couldn't help giving a thumbs up and said.

"It's not that I'm awesome, it's that person outside the door who's awesome." Belgarath said.

The guard nodded and followed Wolf out of the prison.

Xu Taiping saw the old wolf and got out of the car. He walked over to him with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades!" Xu Taiping took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave two to the two guards.

The two guards already knew that Xu Taiping was definitely a capable person. Seeing him offer a cigarette, they quickly took it.

"Go out and live well. Don't come in again!" a guard said to Belgarath.

"I won't come back to this damn place!" Wolf shook his head.

"Then we'll be leaving first!" As the two guards said their farewells, they turned around and left.

"Your ability is far greater than I thought. Even Xia Jiang from back then couldn't do what you're doing now." Belgarath could not help but exclaim.

"Xia Jiang? "Haha, he can't." Xu Taiping shook his head, then asked, "I see that you also have a bit of a grudge against Xia Jiang."

"He abandoned us." Wolf shook his head and said, "As you said, all of us are in jail and he is alone. We respect him as our boss and help him do things, but he only has himself in his eyes. If a boss gives up on his brothers, then he doesn't have the qualifications to be the boss. "

"I won't abandon anyone." Xu Taiping said.

"In the past, Xia Jiang said the same thing. However, people change." Old Wolf shook his head and looked at Xu Taiping, "It's been a long time since I've had a good meal."

"Let's go back to Jiangyuan City and eat!" I told Xiaoyu to drive faster. " Xu Taiping said.

"I'm not interested in what we eat in Ruiyuan city at all. Going back to Jiangyuan city is just nice!" Belgarath nodded, and Xu Taiping and Belgarath got into the car.

Zhou Xiaoyu drove the car towards Jiang Yuan City.

Along the way, Xu Taiping and Old Wolf chatted about a lot of things, mainly about the development of Taiya Group after Xia Jiang's death and the enmity with the Prince. As for the smuggling, Xu Taiping didn't mention anything, because it was clear that it wasn't something that could be discussed in the car.

"Xia Jiang is dead. Taiya Group has shrunk quite a bit, according to what you said." Belgarath said.

"The total industry has shrunk by about a third." Xu Taiping said.

"Just as I expected." Belgarath nodded, then said, "Other than fishing for me, did you fish for anyone else?"

"No, to me, their use is very limited, and I can't guarantee that they'll be like you. Some of them still care about Xia Jiang in their hearts." Xu Taiping said.

"I also miss him, but I miss him as he was ten years ago. At that time, he was full of vitality and he was very good to all of us, unlike when he was blinded by power. "Sigh!" Belgarath sighed.

These years, as his position grew, many people would be blinded by many things. For example, that Nan, who used to be a middle-level hoodlum, was now about to become one of the top hoodlums in the entire Gold Spot City.

Xu Taiping didn't think that it was bad if a person's heart became big. As the saying goes, only when one wasn't satisfied would one be able to improve. However, if one's heart didn't grow stronger, then the end result would be greed devouring the elephant, and one's death would result in self-detonation.

This was what Xu Taiping believed in. If he wanted to obtain more benefits, then he would have more ability.

A few hours later, the car arrived at Jiang Yuan City.

Xu Taiping didn't bring Old Wolf to any big hotels, but to a genuine restaurant in Jiangyuan City.

It was said that this store had been open for more than 30 years. The store was small, but there were a lot of people eating here.

Even if Xu Taiping was the elder brother of Jianghu, he would still have to wait. Of course, he was also willing to wait. The process of waiting was actually also very beautiful, because it would only stimulate one's appetite even more.

Of course, with Xu Taiping's status, if he wasn't willing to wait, no one could do anything to him. However, the truth was that Xu Taiping wasn't willing to use his identity to show off in public. He liked to act tough, but it was only for some idiots.

Xu Taiping and Old Wolf waited patiently for half an hour before the table outside the shop was empty.

Xu Taiping, Old Wolf, and Zhou Xiao Yu sat around the table. Zhou Xiao Yu sensibly wiped the table clean, then went to get three sets of cutlery.

"Go and order." Xu Taiping said to the old wolf, "The dishes in this restaurant are all very well-cooked."

Old Wolf nodded and walked into the store. After ordering a few dishes, he returned to Xu Taiping's side and sat down.

"Do you want to drink?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Hah!" Wolf nodded.

Zhou Xiaoyu immediately got up from the car and came out with a bottle of Maotai. She then took it to the table, opened the bottle and poured Xu Taiping and Old Wolf each a cup of wine.

"Let's go." Belgarath picked up his glass and said to Xu Taiping.

"Not eating anything?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I think I've been thinking about this white wine for months. Hurry up." Belgarath said.

Xu Taiping smiled, picked up his glass and clinked it with Belgarath's, and they both finished their glasses in one gulp.

Zhou Xiao Yu quickly refilled the glasses with wine for the two of them.

Not long after, the dishes that the old wolf had ordered were served. The three of them sat around the dining table, eating and drinking. In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

"They're already drinking in the afternoon, how interesting!" The shop owner had to stand at the entrance and smoke, smiling as he spoke to Xu Taiping.

"Would you like two drinks?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.

"You can't drink during the day. You have to let my wife know. You have to kill me!" The owner shook his head.

"Sister-in-law isn't here?" Have a drink, quick! " He had eaten in this shop many times, so he could be considered acquainted with the boss. Of course, this was only in terms of face.

The shop owner rubbed his hands together, threw his cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it. Then, he turned around and looked at the interior of the shop.

Since it was afternoon and there was no meal time, there were not many guests. His wife had gone upstairs to bed, therefore, the boss hurried over to Xu Taiping's side.

Zhou Xiaoyu quickly poured a glass of wine for the boss.

"I can smell the fragrance of this wine from far away. Isn't this old Maotai?" the boss asked, holding his glass.

"A few years." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Come on, one!" The boss said to Old Wolf while holding the wine cup.

Xu Taiping smiled as he picked up his wine cup, and the old wolf was a little taken aback, because in his eyes, the owner of this restaurant was too familiar, and the owner's identity was as different as heaven and earth from Xu Taiping's. Xu Taiping actually smiled at such a person and invited him to a drink, was this Xu Taiping trying to get something out of him?

"Old Wolf!" Xu Taiping shouted.

"Oh, okay, a whole one!" The old wolf picked up the wine cup, and after the three of them clinked their cups, the boss drank the white wine in one gulp.

"It really is delicious. This is truly outrageous!" The owner licked his lips and praised.

"Then let's have another cup!" Xu Taiping said.

"No, no. My wife won't be able to smell it after drinking one or two cups. You guys eat first, I'm going to get busy!" The owner shook his head before turning around and leaving.

"What background does he have?" Belgarath could not help but ask.

I don't know either, but the owner here has been running a shop for more than 30 years, and he's a pretty good guy. I once had a meal here, and I was in line with a young man who was driving a Ferrari, but he got chased away by the boss in the end. From then on, I thought he was a good boss, and it's also very interesting. Xu Taiping explained.

"That's it? Could this be some kind of hidden expert among the common folk? " Belgarath asked.

"How can there be so many powerful people hiding among the commoners these days?" Of course, as far as cooking is concerned, he is indeed quite awesome, but the others are just average. " Xu Taiping said.

"Other than that? "Then why are you doing this?" Belgarath asked with a frown.

Although the old wolf didn't ask why, Xu Taiping still understood what the old wolf meant.

"I told you before, I'm different from Xia Jiang." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "You have a lot of power, so I might not just leave you alone. You're a merchant, so I might become your best friend. I'll make friends with you, see your character, and not see anything else."

Old Wolf looked at Xu Taiping, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I finally understand why you can replace Xia Jiang."

Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to replace Xia Jiang. I am me, a different color firework."

"My brother's song, my favorite." Belgarath said.

"Elder brother, have a drink!"
