The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

Chapter 52: Xu Linlin's Death, Visitors from Fengbei

As ten o'clock approached, Xu Zhenlin and Lao Huang went to play with their friends, leaving Zhang Ye alone, hiding in a corner to enjoy delicious food and wine.

The best part about this large-scale cocktail party is undoubtedly their buffet, which serves grilled steaks and small cakes in unlimited quantities. As long as you can eat, you can eat as much as you want.

"Shanzi, this beef is good, come and try it."

Zhang Ye held the plate and handed the freshly grilled beef ribs to Lu Shan.

The two of them were like beggars, huddled in a corner, eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls. They were completely unlike those well-dressed "gentlemen" who were gentle and polite, and they had no intention of chatting with anyone, they just wanted to eat.

blah blah blah...

As the two of them were enjoying their meal, they heard hurried footsteps. The next second, Xu Linlin's face turned red, and she put her hands on her hips, looking very angry. She came closer and asked.

"Where's my dad?"

"I don't know." Zhang Ye raised his head and looked at the crowded banquet scene, wondering, "I saw them just now, but I don't know where they are now."

"Come with me!" Seeing that she couldn't find her biological father, Xu Linlin didn't care about anything else. She grabbed his arm and dragged him to the small box next to her.

Judging from his posture, it seems that he has encountered something urgent and is waiting for someone to help him.

"What's going on? What are you doing?"

Zhang Ye had a confused expression on his face, with a lot of oil stains on the corners of his mouth. He couldn't understand why this young lady was going crazy again.

"Avenge me!"

As Xu Linlin walked, her small silver teeth were grinding against each other, and she spoke angrily.

"I lost all the money you gave me. You must win it back today!"

"Hey, I don't think it's a big deal." Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye immediately relaxed and said jokingly, "With your card skills, it's normal for you to count money. You're also a sucker for it!"

"Who are you talking about?"

Xu Linlin, whose anger was already rising, turned around and glared at him fiercely after hearing his ridicule, like an angry little tiger.

"They're bullying me, they must be cheating, every single one of them is a big one!"

"Who, let me see who it is!"

Zhang Ye was also shameless. Seeing that he was about to vent his anger on her, she immediately changed the subject, rolled up her sleeves and started fighting for the eldest lady.

"You dare to take our young lady's money? You don't want to live anymore. Come on, I'll take you to win it back!"

"That's pretty much it..."

Seeing how understanding he was, Xu Linlin's delicate little face showed a satisfied smile.

In fact, she is a noob. From childhood to adulthood, this girl has never won when it comes to gambling.

This is because the Xu family is rich and doesn't care about this expense. If it were an ordinary family, they would have prepared rat poison and committed suicide if they lost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan in an hour.

……

Pushing open the door of the private room, the small space was filled with smoke.

At this moment, several people who were playing cards saw Xu Linlin and teased her.

"I'm back, Linlin. Did you find the money?"

"Not only did I find the money, I also brought a helper!" Xu Linlin looked at everyone very arrogantly, and stretched out her hand to pull Zhang Ye out.

At that time, Feng Laowu, who was sitting at the west gate, immediately showed joy when he saw Zhang Ye appear, and stretched out his hand to greet him.

"Brother Chao Rong, where have you been hiding? I just had people search the banquet hall several times, but I couldn't find you anywhere."

"Hehe, I was eating outside just now, I didn't notice when you came."

Zhang Ye felt much more relaxed after seeing his acquaintance.

These days, he gets together with Feng Laowu almost every day, either playing cards, finding a place to drink, or finding a brothel to listen to music.

Life was quite happy and the relationship became much closer.

"I heard the kid was losing badly, so I came over to take a look."

"Who are you calling a kid?"

Xu Linlin's cheerful smile suddenly turned cold, and she reached out and pinched his arm.

"Hiss...I, my child, can't I?"

Zhang Ye turned around and glared at her, secretly cursing this woman for being so ruthless and almost strangling him to death.

Little did they know that this scene took on a different meaning in the eyes of everyone. They didn't think they were just ordinary friends, but more like a pair of flirting lovers.

Especially Feng Laowu, after seeing this scene, he became more determined in his idea that Zhang Ye had probably already won over the little princess of the Xu family.

When he came just now, he saw Xu Zhenlin chatting with Zhang Ye for a long time. Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he could tell from Xu's constant laughter that he was in a good mood at the time.

From this we can see that Zhang Ye is really capable. Not only did he win over the girl, but he also made the old man very happy.

It would be strange if such talents didn’t get promoted!

"Come on, friends, I'm going to shamelessly join the game today and play a couple of rounds on behalf of our young lady."

Zhang Ye had no idea that everyone was talking about him in their hearts. He leaned forward and sat at the south gate, looking at the slightly immature boy opposite him, and asked with a smile.

"Brother, where are you from? It looks like you've won a lot."

"Don't move, let me introduce you."

Upon hearing this, Feng Laowu stood up, pointed at the young man beside him, and introduced him solemnly.

"This is my childhood friend, Master Zhang of Fengbei. The girl next to him is his wife, Zhang Yu. They came to the capital for a visit and happened to catch the cocktail party tonight, so they came over to have some fun."

"Ouch, disrespectful!"

After hearing the other party's name, Zhang Ye immediately stood up, his expression became a little serious, and he extended his hand and smiled.

"Welcome Master Zhang and his wife to the capital. I've heard of your great name for a long time but never had the chance to meet you. I'm really lucky to have caught up with you today."

In the intervals of speaking, Zhang Ye was not idle either. His eyes rolled around, looking at the young marshal who was famous in history.

I found that this legendary young man was not very tall and his appearance was quite ordinary. The only thing that made him different was his clear and deep eyes. Despite his young age, he gave people an indescribable sense of sophistication.

From this point, we can see that none of the young men who come from top wealthy families are easy to deal with, and they are not cowards as rumored by the outside world.

"Brother Chaorong, thank you. I don't hold a military position, nor do I work in the government. I'm just here for a couple of days of sightseeing."

Zhang Liuzi spoke slowly and calmly, with a gentle smile on his face at all times, appearing to be very approachable and without any airs.

"Brother Chao Rong, you have become very famous recently, attracting the attention and support of countless people. I just heard about your deeds when I arrived in the capital."

"Hey, it's just rumors, made up by my friends in the newspaper."

Zhang Ye patted the back of his hand affectionately, with an expression of regret that they had met too late, and chuckled.

"We've gotten to know each other today. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. We'll see!"
