When the lobby manager saw that Fade Chen and Quin Lin had no reactions, he frowned discontentedly and waved his hand to call for someone to sort out this matter.

Fade said in a deep voice, "I am waiting for an honored guest here. Are you sure you want to drive us away?"

"An honored guest!" The lobby manager said, and he was stunned.

Marco Ji laughed coldly and said, "As an outsider, what kind of honored guest can you meet here? You can continue making up stories here!"

After hearing Marco's words, the lobby manager immediately came to his senses. These two people were obviously foreign tourists. What kind of honored guests could they know? Obviously, Fade was trying to scare him on purpose.

Thinking of this, the manager snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Even if your so-called honored guest is coming here, we will still drive him away. This is not the place for you guys."

Right then, a plump figure walked in. He

looked around and spotted Fade. He waved his hand and greeted, "Mr. Chen, I'm here."

Seeing the arrival of Big Brother Gu, Fade also waved his hand. Then, he looked at the lobby manager, Marco and the other people He announced, "My honored guest is here."

The lobby manager snorted coldly and waved his hand, saying, "I don't care who your guest is. Just get them out of here..."

As the manager spoke, he turned around and saw the fat man approaching. He was stunned, and he became so scared that his words were trapped in his throat. He looked at the person in front of him with a startled expression and said in amazement, "This, this is your honored guest?"

Without waiting for Fade's response, Big Brother Gu walked over enthusiastically. He grabbed Fade's hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, sorry to keep you waiting."

"What are you doing standing there? Come on, take a seat. Let's get down to business," Big Brother Gu said.

However, Fade glanced at the manager, Marco, and the others and declared, "Somebody doesn't want us to sit here. They even said that we are not qualified to be here for dinner. They want to kick us out." "Who dares to kick my guests out?" Big

Brother Gu shouted angrily.

The lobby manager on the side suddenly trembled with fear and apologized in a hurry. He said, "Big Brother Gu, I, I didn't know that they were your guests, I..."

"You don't know!" Big Brother Gu said. He glared at the manager and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to replace any excuses. Inform Chief Huang to come and apologize to me, and then submit your resignation letter!"

Hearing Big Brother Gu's words, the lobby manager didn't dare to respond. He could only nod and leave quietly.

Marco and the others were completely speechless. Some people who were still shocked said with puzzled looks, "This, this Big Brother Gu, is he powerful?"

Someone who had insider knowledge responded quickly, "Big Brother Gu is the real boss of Fuma Town, and he has connections with both the government and the underworld. Even when our investment team came here to investigate and do research, Big Brother Gu was the person in charge."

"What!" They didn't expect Big Brother Gu to be so powerful. Also, they didn't expect Fade, who was a complete outsider, to actually be friends with the local big shot. It seemed to them that their relationship was pretty close.

Marco's expression darkened and he looked unpleasant.

Big Brother Gu gave them a cold stare and said in a cold voice, "You were disrespectful toward my friends. Therefore, we won't need to discuss the investment project anymore. Your investigation team can go home now!"

Marco didn't expect that such a trivial matter would affect the whole investigation team. He panicked instantly. After all, at least seven to eight investigation teams had come over this time, and they were supposed to have an agreement in the end.

Now, with Big Brother Gu's words, the whole project was likely to be off the table and there wouldn't be any such opportunities in the future.

When Marco realized how he had messed up the agreement, his father would for sure beat him to death upon his return. Marco's whole body went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He was ready to beg Big Brother Gu for mercy.

Without waiting for him to speak, Big Brother Gu waved his hand and said with a straight face, "Get out of here. I don't want to hear your nonsense."

Hearing this, Marco's vision went black, and he fainted to the ground. His companions beside him quickly carried him away.

Since everything was resolved, and it seemed that Fade still had some matters to discuss, Eileen Yao bade them farewell. Then, Big Brother Gu ordered a full table of dishes and began to discuss Jeremy Lin's matter with Fade and Quin.

Big Brother Gu waved his hand. An old and tanned farmer in his fifties came over and looked at Big Brother Gu in fear.

Big Brother Gu allowed the farmer to sit down, then he took out a photo and said to Fade and Quin, "This is Old Ma, an old citizen of our town. He recognized the location in the photo."

"The location is on the western side of the town, right at the foot of Fuma Mountain. There used to be a neighborhood there, but due to the development of Fuma Mountain, all of the people there have moved out in the last few years. Now, the village is almost empty. Occasionally, some villagers will still sneak back to look for some things."

As he spoke, Big Brother Gu looked at Old Ma. Old Ma then explained, "I was from that village. I recognized it from the scenery through the window. This house should belong to Denzel Ma who lives at the edge of the village."

"Denzel is a reclusive man. His house was not in the village, and it was relatively close to the mountain. He doesn't interact much with people. Since everyone has moved out, he left the town for good as well. The house has remained empty, and it should look pretty old now."

Upon hearing this, Quin said with wide eyes, "Since we're able to determine the location, let's go there quickly!"

Big Brother Gu said, "Miss Lin, it's getting late now, and the roads in the mountain are difficult to navigate. If we hike up the mountain now, I'm afraid that it will not be safe. Also, it's really dark outside. If we encounter any criminals, it will not be easy to capture them either."

Fade held Quin's hand, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, tomorrow is the deadline, and there is still time."

Big Brother Gu nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, Miss Lin, what about this? I'll get Old Ma to go with you, and I'll send a few more people to go together."

"I'm going to have a meeting with the investigation teams, so I can't travel with Mr. Chen," Big Brother Gu explained.

Fade said, "Big Brother Gu has helped us a lot. Sorry for causing so much trouble. Alright then, let's go tomorrow!" Quin said anxiously, "I want to go with you as well."

Big Brother Gu immediately advised her, "Miss Lin, the roads are not easy to navigate. I'm afraid that it will not be convenient for you to go with them. Moreover, there is a high possibility that there are gangsters in the area. If there is any danger, it will be very troublesome."

Fade agreed with his words. After all, if it was a dangerous task, he didn't want his wife to be involved. Therefore, he pinched her hand and said, "Honey, don't worry. If I'm involved, there won't be any problems. Just wait for the good news from me."

Quin knew very well that she wasn't of much help in the past, so she nodded and agreed.

Big Brother Gu also immediately said, "Mr. Chen, Miss Lin, don't worry. I will get someone to protect Miss Lin. There won't be any problems."

"Yes, I appreciate that, thank you very much!" Fade and Quin said, and they nodded.
