A group of people, with great momentum, finally arrived at a compound.
The gate of the courtyard is open, and flags are waving inside and outside the courtyard. There is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. There are hundreds of well-dressed bodyguards waiting in strict formation.
The atmosphere was majestic and solemn, with a very obvious murderous intent.
Xia Ming remained unmoved and kept smiling. Accompanied by Braid King and Wang Li, he entered the courtyard.
There is a wide courtyard with a hall in the middle.
Above the door, there is a gilded plaque with three elegant characters: Meeting Hall.
The Braided King sneered: "This is the most important place in our East China Sea. Generally, only big and sensational events will have an opening ceremony."
"Wang Mian is here to receive Mr. Xia, which shows that he still attaches great importance to him. I guess he knows a little bit about it."
"Mr. Xia, please."
Xia Ming nodded, surrounded by everyone, and walked into the hall proudly.
The atmosphere in the conference hall seemed solemn. A dozen people were already standing next to a row of chairs on the left.
They are all high-level officials of Donghai. They received the news and came to participate in the discussion.
The right side is empty and should be reserved for guests.
Xia Ming looked towards the middle with a smile.
There are three chairs in the middle. The chairs on the left and right sides are empty. On the middle chair, a middle-aged man in shining gold clothes and a majestic face sits calmly.
The middle-aged man also looked towards Xia Ming.
Xia Ming took a step forward and said with a smile: "Senior must be the Marquis of Jinyi of the East China Sea, who is well-known overseas. I have heard about his name for a long time, and when I saw him today, he is really well-groomed."
"Junior Xia Ming is polite."
Wang Mian nodded and said: "Young Master Xia has had a hard journey, please sit down."
"Thank you." Xia Ming behaved very politely, like a humble gentleman. After thanking him, he sat down on the first chair in the right row.
The vulture sat next to him in the second chair.
The rest, Tong An and other people who followed Xia Ming from the north, fell one after another.
On the left, people from Donghai also sat down one after another. Both sides looked at each other, not knowing what to say. The atmosphere became awkward again.
The braided king snorted and walked towards the middle stage with great swagger.
Then, he sat on the chair to the right of Wang Mian.
On this stage, there was originally only one high-ranking chair, which was exclusive to the island owner. Now the island owner's position is vacant, and the affairs of the East China Sea are taken care of by the first and second kings.
So the original one chair became three.
The chair to Wang Mian's left is empty, and the king on his left shoulder has not yet arrived.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the braided king looked at Wang Mian and sneered: "Master Hou, can we start now?"
Wang Mian frowned, pretending not to understand, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the old prince is referring to."
The braided king snorted coldly and said angrily: "Young Master Xia is here, and you are still here pretending to be confused!"
"Didn't you receive the Xia family's marriage certificate?"
The smile on Wang Mian's face disappeared a bit.
The braided king felt that he had a chance to win. In front of everyone, it could be said that he did not take Wang Mian seriously at all.
He stood up and said loudly and excitedly: "Everyone, we in the East China Sea have been without a leader since the island owner died of illness."
"Although we can barely maintain the situation now, we have missed too many opportunities for development and growth. The reason is that the external situation has changed and we need strong foreign aid."
"Now is no longer the time to fight alone. Only by joining forces can we achieve the greatest win-win situation."
"I, Wang Shangqing, am dedicated to the Wang family and the East China Sea. After unremitting efforts, I finally found this powerful foreign aid for our East China Sea——"
