What Xu Hu said was half true and false. Apart from the fact that his identity was fabricated, his willingness to protect Ding Wei came from the bottom of his heart.
If Ding Wei hadn't rescued Zhou Weiguo in time, he would probably be reincarnated as a human being by now.
After hearing this, Nantian Yangxun also respected Xu Hu even more.
Two generations, father and son, are serving the same family.
As an intelligence chief, he quickly noticed another thing.
That is Ding Wei’s identity!
What I heard them say just now is that this guy's father is serving the head of the Genji family and is his personal bodyguard.
But now, the descendants of that guard are serving this young master. Doesn't this mean that he is most likely the successor of the Genji family?
Thinking of this, Nantian Yangxun suddenly became happy, thinking that he had discovered some shocking secret.
In a large family, the position of the patriarch has always been kept secret, especially in a family like this. It is said that the Genji family has not yet established an heir.
This young master appears here and is frequently in Shanghai. Maybe he is preparing to win the position of family patriarch.
Looking at his personal guards, they all jumped out in critical moments.
If it hadn't been for someone using a gun, they would never have imagined that those harmless waiters were actually the young master's bodyguards.
If it weren't for his noble status, why would he protect him like this? Apart from the Genji family, there are a few people who have this kind of skill.
But those bodyguards that cost one for a hundred are difficult for ordinary nobles to obtain.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. The relationship between this young master and the Black Dragon Society is very delicate now.
The current president, Ken Chikayama, seemed to have received his guidance, stabilized the situation within the association, and began to secretly clean up some restless guys.
The best thing is that when the Black Dragon Society was in civil strife, he rescued many senior officials of the Japanese army in Shanghai and gained their friendship and favor.
Although I didn't feel it at the time, looking at these things together, in a way, they were already standing together.
Nantian Yangxun believed that once the young master hinted that he would fight for the team leader, the people attending the banquet tonight would definitely help him.
To be able to mix in this circle, most of them are people with a good background. It just depends on whether the background is sufficient.
But no matter what background these people have, they can't compare to the young master in front of them.
Nantian Yangxun thought carefully and became more convinced that he must hug this thigh tightly.
While several people were talking, they had already arrived in the banquet hall.
At this time, there were already many people standing in the hall, all of them were in suits and leather shoes, and they were surrounded by women of different ages.
Judging from their close attitude, she must be their wife.
Nantian Youxun explained: "Master Taro, everyone is here. If it weren't for your help that day, there would probably be half as many people here."
After seeing Ding Wei, they all gathered together to express their gratitude.
In short, they were just some polite words such as I left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to thank you. I must not come back drunk today.
But more people are making insinuations about Ding Wei's identity, and want to know where Ding Wei comes from.
Even if you want to express gratitude, the like must have an owner, right?
Many of the people who have a good relationship with Nantian Yangxun already know Ding Wei's identity, but most of them are still confused.
Because they had never heard of Ding Wei, they went to the Black Dragon Society to inquire, but the responses they received were all vague. Jin Shanjian did not dare or deliberately whetted their appetite.
After hearing these Japs' words, Ding Wei cleared his throat and said only one sentence, "On behalf of the Genji family, I would like to thank you for today's banquet."
With just this sentence, the smiles of everyone in the banquet froze.
They thought that the strength of the young master in front of them and the family behind them would naturally be extraordinary, but they never expected that he was so strong.
Nantian Yangxun was very discerning and turned to look at Ding Wei. After receiving his approval, he immediately beamed with joy and stepped forward.
"Everyone, this young master is the young master of the Minamoto family, Minamoto Kotaro."
After hearing this name, the expressions of the people in the venue were a little confused. The Genji family knew it.
But this Minamoto Kotaro?
Why does the name sound so unfamiliar? How come Minami Yosun knows him and has heard of him?
The atmosphere was a little awkward, because the head of the Genji clan protected this illegitimate son so well.
Not many people have met him, let alone Shanghai, which is nearly 2,000 kilometers away from the island.
It can be seen that Minamada Yosun looks like a dog-licker. He is also the director of the Special Higher Education Course, so he must have his own intelligence channels.
And this guy likes to cling to powerful people, so there must be no problem with the young master's identity.
"It turns out he is the young master of the Genji family." A person was the first to break the silence.
Nantian Yangxun whispered in Ding Wei's ear: "Master, this is Jin Sangang, and he has shares behind Shanghai Bank."
After a pause, he added: "Your gold can be compensated so quickly, and it is indispensable that he has contributed."
The boy who gives you wealth.
A bright smile suddenly appeared on Ding Wei's face and he stretched out his hand.
Jin Sangang took a step forward, stretched out his hands to hold Ding Wei's hand, and said: "I have long heard that there is a young master in the Yuan family who is not only outstanding in ability, but also handsome in appearance.
When I see you today, it’s really extraordinary!”
Ding Wei didn't bother to expose this polite talk. He had heard of this nonsense, but he had only just known about it not long ago.
If they had known that Kotaro Minamoto was coming to Shanghai, they would have held a welcome banquet long ago. Why would people wait until now?
But there is a saying that goes well, don’t hit someone with a smiling face. Ding Wei also smiled and did not expose it.
"Master Taro, thank you very much for what happened that day!"
Jin Sangang paused: "You must have a great time today. Just ask for anything you want. As long as I am here, I will do my best to meet your requirements."
"Okay, since you said that, I won't be polite to you anymore today!" Ding Wei laughed.
Afterwards, many people came forward to shake hands with Ding Wei one by one. With the introduction of Nantian Yangxun, Ding Wei finally figured out their identities.
The identities of these people are indeed extraordinary, and they are all involved in black and white military and business affairs.
If we say that these people want to drain Shanghai's economy or bring chaos to Shanghai, it is just a matter of one sentence.
"Okay, everyone, let's let Mr. Taro take his seat first." Nantian Yangxun said with a smile: "Don't forget, the focus of our banquet today.
Although the host of this banquet, Mr. Ken Chikayama, did not come, we still have to help him fulfill our friendship as a landlord."
It's already this time, and Minami Yosun didn't forget to throw some shade at Taken Mikasa, insinuating that he wasn't there on this important day.
Of course, he knew why Nantian Yoho didn't come, but since it was Master Litaro, he had to come, and he didn't want to be crushed to death by Takeyama Takeru.
Ding Wei also knew what this guy was thinking, so he just laughed twice and said nothing more.
"Since Master Taro is already here, let's take out the thank you gifts we prepared for Master and give them to him one by one!" Nantian Yoho said with a smile.
"Didn't you always want to prepare generous gifts and express your life-saving grace to the young master? Now that he is here, the time has come to show your kindness.
Whether we can satisfy the young master tonight and make him happy depends on your sincerity."
Hearing this, Ding Wei also showed a satisfied smile.
If he had been idle for a long time, wasn't it just for this generous gift? If he didn't know that he could take money out of the pockets of these little devils today, Ding Wei wouldn't bother to pay attention.
Speaking of this, Nantian Yangxun walked to Ding Wei again, asked a few questions in a low voice, and got Ding Wei's approval.
He walked forward again and said with a smile: "Everyone, Master Taro has important things to do tomorrow, so he has to take a special car to leave Shanghai.
Whether he will leave some more good memories before he leaves Shanghai depends on our sincerity."
Hearing this, everyone smiled in amusement.
They have all heard that this young master's gold was robbed by a group of daring robbers. It is said that there is collusion between internal and external parties?
However, they all knew that this was done intentionally by Nantian Yoshin, just to make more money, but some of them were also involved and did not say much at the moment.
"Good memories?" Ding Wei pretended to be angry: "If it weren't for my money being gone, maybe this would indeed be a good memory."
After a pause, Ding Wei added: "But now, there is no news about the person who robbed the gold. I am a little doubtful whether the bank is safe.
The money I keep in the bank, in case of a security incident..."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions became a little playful. This young master seemed to be complaining about his dissatisfaction with the safety of the bank.
Jin Sangang's expression became a little unnatural, and the corners of his mouth twitched. After all, he had a stake in the bank, but now he couldn't say anything.
Anyone whose gold is robbed must express some dissatisfaction.
"Master, please rest assured, we will definitely investigate this matter for you and give you a reasonable answer." Nantian Yangxun said hurriedly.
There were no clues at the scene, and the perpetrators were very professional, with no usable traces at all. Minamada Yoshin could feel that this was another unsolved case.
But you still have to comfort you when you need to, and you can't pretend that you can't hear it.
Ding Wei's words were also intentional. He had already heard that some people had begun to transfer some assets stored in banks, and now he just wanted to add fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, when some people heard these words, they nodded in agreement, waved to the side, and then someone ran to them.
After listening to a few words, he ran towards the back. Even without saying anything, Ding Wei knew that they were probably going to the bank to do business.
"Master, stop thinking about those unhappy things. We are here to make you happy tonight." Nantian Yangxun knew that he could not continue these topics.
Otherwise, there may be more trouble caused.
"Then I'll have to see your performance. Speaking of which, what exactly have you prepared? You actually only told me today." Ding Wei asked pretending to be curious.
"I saved you, but you didn't even say a word of thanks. If it weren't for tonight's banquet, I would have gone back to complain to my father."
"Master, you are joking, we are preparing a gift for you." Nantian Yangxun said: "Let me take the lead first. I hope you will not dislike my gift."
After saying that, Nantian Yangxun waved his hand and shouted to one side: "Hey, bring up the gift I prepared!"
lift?
Ding Wei suddenly became interested. What on earth had this guy prepared? He actually used the word "lift".
Soon, several people came forward carrying a board covered with red cloth. They didn't know what they were carrying. Their faces turned red, as if it was a lot of effort.
"Master, please take a look." Nantian Yangxun opened the piece of red cloth while speaking, revealing what was underneath.
Ding Wei's eyes lit up. The thing on it was exactly his favorite thing, gold.
On it are the twelve zodiac signs made of gold, each one is almost the size of an adult man's head.
Each one is lifelike, the twelve animals have different shapes, and their eyes are inlaid with gems of different colors.
No wonder it took several adults to carry this thing up.
If this thing melted, it would be worth a lot of gold. Not to mention the gold, the eyes on it alone would be worth a lot of money.
"Master, these are the Chinese zodiac animals. I originally wanted to be our zodiac animals, but then I thought, since you have come to China, why not do as the locals do?"
Nantian Youxun said with a smile: "So I temporarily changed my mind and changed it to the current twelve zodiac signs."
Ding Wei nodded while listening.
"I invited more than a dozen famous artists to carve these specially for you, day and night," Nantian Yoshin said proudly.
Master, I wonder if you like it, are you satisfied with my gift?"
"Not bad, pretty good." Ding Wei nodded and patted Nantian Yangxun on the shoulder encouragingly.
like?
I like it so much that nothing is as real as gold as a gift. Anyway, no matter what your style is when the time comes, just melt it and you will get gold nuggets one by one.
I like this kind of shining gold the most, Ding Wei thought to himself.
Seeing that Ding Wei liked it and did this to himself, Nantian Yangxun knew that the gift was the right one this time.
Originally he wanted to give some expensive antiques as a gift, but then he thought about it, what if the young master didn't like it, and he just lost gold tonight.
It's better to take advantage of the situation and give him more gold to make up for his losses. It seems that I will be one step closer to this young master.
Minami Yoshin was very proud of himself.
Ding Wei picked up the zodiac snake. Even the details of the tongue and teeth have been done, and the snake's eyes are inlaid with green gems.
It seemed that the snake was worried that it was too small, so it sat on the tree, raised its tongue and stuck out a red letter.
You can feel the details of every scale on the snake's body when you touch it with your hands. It is obvious that a great deal of effort has been put into it and it was made by famous craftsmen.
I weighed the amount again and found it was enough.
"Mr. Nantian, these zodiac animals should not only have a layer of gold on the outside, but they are all bricks on the inside, right?" Ding Wei joked.
When Nantian Yangxun heard this, he immediately became anxious and carefully explained: "Master, please stop joking, how dare I play such a trick in front of you.
These zodiac signs are all real gold, there is nothing mixed in them."
"Nantian-kun, don't worry, I'm just joking with you." Ding Wei said with a smile.
Nantian Yangxun breathed a long sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, and said in his heart: "Your joke really scared me..."
The twelve golden zodiac signs made of pure gold opened the curtain.
After Nantian Yangxun, various gifts were delivered to Ding Wei.
Every gift is unique and original. It is obvious that these devils put a lot of thought into the gift.
Among them, the gift given by Jin Sangang is the most unique...
