The night was also unable to be dyed red with blood.

That night, the darkness was so deep that it caused people to feel despair.

Even though there were fighting everywhere in Jiangyuan city, in Jiangbei and Xu Taiping's place, the atmosphere was extremely calm.

Xu Taiping and Jiang Hongtu sat opposite of each other, even Li Jin sat on the side.

This man sent by Hua Yi Society to manage the territory of the North China Kingdom had no idea that he would be able to sit together with a big boss like Xu Taiping in this lifetime.

Xu Taiping was very calm. In front of him, there was a huge carving of a tea table, with a dragon and a phoenix carved on it. There was also an old man fishing on the table.

Xu Taiping was making tea with a teapot made of purple sand.

It was hard to imagine that Xu Taiping still had the leisure to make tea despite the slaughter going on outside.

"All the schemes, tricks, battles, and the final goal is to allow us to lead a better and more comfortable life ourselves. And many times, wanting to live a better life is actually far simpler than we imagined. One side table, a few cups of hot tea, and a few friends is enough. However, in the end, people's hearts cannot be satisfied. Xu Taiping shook his head, picked up the teacup with a pair of tweezers and placed it in front of Jiang Hongtu and Li Jin.

Li Jin looked at the cup of light colored tea in front of him. He didn't know why, but he felt that his tense mood had actually become a lot more relaxed.

"Here, have some tea. I brought this Da Hong Pao from home." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Da Hong Pao?" Li Jin picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The smell was very faint. It was different from the smell of the Da Hong Pao that he remembered.

"Drinking Da Hong Pao requires one level of skill." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "So at the beginning, I made it a little faster, the taste was a little lighter, and the second cup after that would taste a little stronger than the first, I found a local tea farmer to study, and he said that the Da Hong Pao was a type of tea worth slowly savoring, starting with the first sip, then getting thicker, then getting stronger, and then returning back to normal. I don't like green tea because it tastes the same from the first sip to the last. "

Li Jin was a brute, so he did not know what Xu Taiping was talking about. He only felt that Xu Taiping's words had some mysterious meaning to them.

Could it be that even the boss was so secretive?

Jiang Hongtu didn't say anything. Xu Taiping poured him a cup of tea and he just drank it, one cup after another. The color of the tea changed little by little.

Xu Taiping had never comforted Jiang Hong Tu from the beginning. He was not Jiang Hong Tu, so he did not know what Jiang Hong Tu was going through.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Li Jin suddenly realized that this Xu Taiping in front of him was different from what he had expected.

In his mind, Xu Taiping should have been a boss who was full of ambition, and then a relatively strong one. At the same time, he was extremely cold-blooded, but now, he felt that Xu Taiping was just like a bottomless pool of water.

He still didn't understand what Xu Taiping was thinking.

The night gradually turned darker.

Xu Taiping's phone rang.

Jiang Hongtu's cell phone also rang at the same time.

Even more miraculous was that Li Jin's phone also rang.

The three of them picked up the phone at the same time. After listening for a while, Li Jin's expression turned ugly, Jiang Hongtu's face revealed an expression of relief, while Xu Taiping's face kept a faint smile.

After that, the three of them put down their phones at almost the same time.

"More than 90% of our Hua Yi Association's members died or were injured …" Li Jin said with an ugly expression.

"We should just kill them all!" Jiang Hongtu said through gritted teeth.

"Enough." Xu Taiping smiled, picked up the teapot, and said, "I'll have my last cup of tea and go home."

As he spoke, Xu Taiping poured a cup of tea for Li Jin and Jiang Hongtu, but he did not pour any for himself.

Li Jin picked up the teacup, looked at Jiang Hongtu, and said, "Boss Jiang, let me tell you one last time, all the movements of the Hua Yi Association were discussed by the four gangs, we are just following the wind, I wasn't involved in the assassination attempt on your son, I was only arranged by them to deal with you, now Boss Xu has let me go, but with that video, I'm sure that Hua Yi will not let me go, so, I hope, if there's a chance, we can let it all go, maybe even help each other, because I don't want to die."

Jiang Hongtu didn't even look at Li Jin, he picked up his teacup and drank the tea under the blanket, then stood up and said to Xu Taiping, "I'll be leaving first, I'll come find you tomorrow."

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded and watched Jiang Hong Tu leave.

When Jiang Hongtu left, there were only three people left, one Guan He, one Xu Taiping, and one Li Jin. As for Li Jin's men, they had all been killed by Guan He.

"Boss Xu, we'll meet again in the future." Li Jin stood up and cupped his fists towards Xu Taiping.

"If you don't die within one month, you can come to Jiang Yuan City to find me." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"One month?" Li Jin's expression changed slightly before shaking his head, "That's unlikely. Unless that video of yours is exposed, Huayi will send people to kill me. It won't be too realistic to survive for a month."

"Which country did you live in?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Our Evil Earth Gang is in Southeast Asia." Li Jin said.

"Understood, let's go back." Xu Taiping waved his hand.

"Thank you, Boss Xu. I hope to see you again in a month's time." As Li Jin spoke, he turned around and left.

Right now, only Guan He and Xu Taiping were left in the room.

"It's not too realistic to live another month under the Hua Yi Association's pursuit." Guan He said.

"So, if he really lives past one month, that means he's a talent, right?" Xu Taiping laughed.

"That's true." Guan He nodded, and then said, "However, what do you need so many people for now?"

There must be something extraordinary about Li Jin being able to be placed here by the members of the Hua Yi Association. As Li Jin said, he is a member of a small gang and is not qualified to be involved in the framing of me, so I did not have any blood feud with him, so I let him record that video. On one hand, it is to prove my innocence, and on the other hand, it is to let him break away from the Hua Yi Association. Xu Taiping said.

"You think too much." Guan He walked to Xu Taiping's side, hugged him, and pressed his face against Xu Taiping's back.

"You seem to have something on your mind?" Xu Taiping asked.

"No..." Guan He shook his head. In his mind, he recalled some of the information that his subordinate had reported about Zhou Qianyun two days ago.

Now that peace was so busy, shouldn't we just not tell him about this?

"Go back." Xu Taiping said.

"En!" Guan He nodded, and the two of them left together.

When he returned to Jiang Yuan City, it was already dawn.

Because the weather was getting colder, there were many swallows flying in from the north.

Swallows were huddled together on the telegraph pole.

By the roadside, the breakfast shop was already open for business.

Xu Taiping got off at a breakfast shop that was about a kilometer away from the villa and lined up behind the queue to buy breakfast.

"I'll cook for you when I get back, why do you still want to eat this?" Guan He asked.

"I ate this every day when I was in school. It's a little hard to eat it now, I just happened to see it, so I didn't want to miss it, you know? At that time, I could have breakfast with only two dollars and a cup of soy milk for a dollar and a brown sugar bun for a dollar. However, I usually would have bought a cup of soy milk and two white buns, because a white bun only costs fifty cents. Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Do you university students all eat like this?" Guan He asked curiously.

"I don't think so. There are meat buns, potato pancakes, and meat slices. However, these are all expensive." Xu Taiping said.

As he spoke, Xu Taiping arrived in front of the breakfast shop.

"What do you eat?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Same as you." Guan He said.

"Boss, four white buns and two cups of soy milk." Xu Taiping said.

"Alright!" The shop owner skillfully packed his things and said, "Six yuan."

"The price has risen?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Yeah, a dollar for each steamed bun." The boss said.

"The times are really improving!" Xu Taiping sighed and paid the bill.

"Eh, isn't this Xu Taiping?!" A person standing behind Xu Taiping suddenly pointed at him and cried out in surprise.

Hearing this person's shout, everyone turned their attention to Xu Taiping. When they saw him, everyone recognized him.

Although Xu Taiping had appeared on television quite a few times, he was still a stranger to many people. However, in Jiang Yuan City, it was impossible for people to not know Xu Taiping. After all, it had been so long since someone like Xu Taiping had appeared in Jiang Yuan City.

Then, everyone exclaimed and surrounded Xu Taiping. Of course, they didn't have any bad intentions, they just wanted to get in touch with him, and there were a lot of people who wanted to take a picture with him.

Xu Taiping really didn't expect that one day, he would be treated like a celebrity. He didn't reject this kind of behavior, and he accepted every single one of them that wanted to have a photo together.

At first, Xu Taiping was only planning to buy breakfast, but after he was recognized, he was forced to stay here for 10 minutes. Seeing that there were more and more people, Xu Taiping and his boss finished taking photos and pulled Guan He along.

"When I was in university, did I ever think that I would be like that one day?" Guan He asked with a smile.

"Nope." Xu Taiping shook his head.

"You've reached a position that many people would never be able to reach in their entire lives." Guan He said.

"Not enough." Xu Taiping took a bite out of the one dollar white bun and said, "I still have to go higher, farther. I want the sky, it can't cover my eyes, I want this road, it can't stop me, I want …"

"Alright, eat your white bread." Guan He said with a smile.

Xu Taiping grinned, held Guan He's hand and walked home.

The weather was clear, and all the darkness had been dispersed.

Suddenly, Guan He's phone rang …
