"You!" The man in the camouflage short-sleeved shirt was furious. Just as he was about to charge forward, Xiao Hei immediately stopped his companion and said, "Gangzi, don't make a mess; don't screw up Mr. Qin's plans."

Gangzi snorted annoyedly and finally halted his steps.

At that moment, the door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly opened. Qin Dalei, dressed in a polo shirt, stepped out of the car with a cigar in his mouth. He looked at Lin Chuan with a smile and said, "Lin Chuan, my young friend, it's our first meeting. How are you?"

"So you are Qin Dalei?" Lin Chuan was not intimidated.

"Kid, don't be disrespectful. Mr. Qin's name is not for you to casually call out," Gangzi scolded Lin Chuan, attempting to overpower him with his aura.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan was unfazed. He chuckled and said, "To a dog, a human is its master. But to a person, everyone else can at most be a friend, and beyond that, a stranger; or at worst, an enemy. I certainly won't lower my own status!"

"You!" Gangzi's volatile temper was ignited once again by Lin Chuan, and although he knew he was no match for Lin Chuan, he was not afraid at all.

"Enough!" shouted Qin Dalei, "I have some matters to discuss with Lin Chuan, you guys go back first."

"Mr. Qin, is this really okay?" Xiao Hei said awkwardly.

"What's wrong with that?" Qin Dalei replied irritably, "Anyway, you're not Lin Chuan's match either. If Lin Chuan really wanted to do anything to me, do you think you could stop him?"

Xiao Hei and Gangzi were both stunned for a moment, and their faces changed slightly. In the end, they could only walk away with their heads down.

Qin Dalei looked at Lin Chuan and said, "Brother Lin, get in the car. Let's find a place to have a good chat."

Lin Chuan didn't hesitate and took his own cigarette into the car. Indeed, a luxury car is a luxury car; even the rear seats are so luxurious, not only with massage functions but also the ability to fully recline the seat so that one could lie down and rest inside, just like two luxurious mobile space capsules.

After Lin Chuan got into the car, the driver immediately drove them away.

Qin Dalei directly took Lin Chuan to the Qin Han Restaurant and went to his office.

Entering Qin Dalei's office, Lin Chuan sat down across from him.

Throughout the journey, Lin Chuan didn't ask any questions or where Qin Dalei was taking him. He remained very calm, indifferent, showing no panic or fear. This alone made Qin Dalei respect Lin Chuan greatly. Being able to do this was enough to show that Lin Chuan had tremendous confidence in himself and feared nothing.

"Have some tea!" Qin Dalei's female tea master soon arrived, and Qin Dalei invited Lin Chuan to drink tea.

Lin Chuan raised the corners of his mouth into a strange smile and said coldly, "Mr. Qin, you haven't gone to all this trouble just to invite me for tea, have you?"

"Haha…" Qin Dalei laughed heartily, "Brother Lin, don't be too anxious. Let's have tea and chat."

At that moment, the female tea master had prepared a pot of tea for them, her delicate fingers serving the tea to both.

Lin Chuan took a sip and then smiled, "Not bad, the tea is very good, but unfortunately, it's still lacking a little in brewing perfection."

"Ah?!" The female tea master was startled.

"No, I'm not saying your tea-making skills are lacking," Lin Chuan chuckled.

"Then it is…" The female tea master was obviously still a bit shaken.

"I just feel that the weather and timing for drinking tea are not right," Lin Chuan gently put down the teacup and said, "The tea is good, the tea master is skilled, but the only issue is that 'the old man is lost in wine.' Mr. Qin, am I right?"

"Haha, you young man, you speak in such a roundabout way," Qin Dalei laughed and said.

"Since Mr. Qin thinks I'm being roundabout, why not get straight to the point?" Lin Chuan looked at Qin Dalei with a smile.

Lin Chuan reclined on the sofa, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, utterly disregarding the luxurious decor of the office. Qin Dalei didn't seem to care about Lin Chuan's disrespectful expression; on the contrary, he greatly admired Lin Chuan's boldness. He had never seen such a young man dare to be so arrogant and wild in his presence. This was his first time seeing Lin Chuan like this. Therefore, Qin Dalei not only did not blame Lin Chuan, but admired him all the more.

"Alright," Qin Dalei nodded and said, "Since you've said so, I'll get straight to the point."

"All ears," Lin Chuan responded with a calm smile.

"Lin Chuan, I have learned most of your affairs and know you are a formidable character," Qin Dalei smiled and said, "You must also be aware of the strength and influence of Qin Gang. Just you alone, Lin Chuan, cannot withstand Qin Gang. We have thousands of disciples in Qin Gang, and just among the mercenaries alone, there are more than five hundred. So…"

"So?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

"Although the Qin Gang has many members, it's not easy to find people who are both courageous and insightful," Qin Dalei sighed, then continued, "Now, the Qin Gang has reached a bottleneck that we can't seem to escape from. If we could find someone like you, I believe they could help the Qin Gang get out of this predicament. What do you think?"

"That has nothing to do with me!" Lin Chuan shook his head disdainfully.

"How can it not matter?" Qin Dalei laughed, "Actually, I wanted to invite you to join the Qin Gang this time. Of course, I won't let you down. The position of the Qin Gang's second-in-command is always open for you, and besides, you can choose between North Africa, North America, and Eastern Europe."

Lin Chuan was surprised; he didn't expect Qin Dalei to be so generous. Whether it's North Africa or North America, or even Eastern Europe, these places are all lucrative. North Africa's arms, North America's drugs, Eastern Europe's economy... these are all profitable sources. Just thinking about it is exciting.

"Wow, Mr. Qin is really generous!" Lin Chuan laughed.

"Ha ha..." Qin Dalei laughed heartily, "Of course. As long as you join the Qin Gang, you can name your conditions. As long as I can meet them, I will try my best to satisfy you!"

"Then I'm afraid I have to disappoint the Gang Leader," Lin Chuan sat up straight, stuffed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, and laughed, "I have no interest in joining the Qin Gang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Dalei's face drastically changed.

Being rejected, this was really the first time such a thing had happened. Qin Dalei not only felt humiliated but also felt a blow to his ego. He thought he could easily handle Lin Chuan and make him obediently join the Qin Gang, but Lin Chuan did not show any deference.

Bang!

Qin Dalei slammed his palm down on the tea table.

"Ah!" The female tea server shook all over in fright, spilling the scalding tea onto her delicate hand.

Lin Chuan glanced at her, reached out to caress her hand, and rinsed it with cold water. The female tea server's face turned red, not expecting such meticulous care from a stranger.

This scene further infuriated Qin Dalei. Lin Chuan dared to ignore his authority and even started flirting with his female tea server, which made Qin Dalei jump up in anger.

"Lin Chuan, don't push your luck," Qin Dalei's face darkened, resembling the face of the legendary General Guan Yu.

"Gang Leader Qin, why force someone against their will?" Lin Chuan let go of the tea server's hand and spoke cheerfully, "Everyone has their own aspirations, why insist on dragging me into your gang, right?"

"What I'm determined about has to be correct," Qin Dalei said arrogantly, "If you disagree, don't blame me for being ruthless. The Qin Gang is not something you can contend with."

"Humph!" Lin Chuan snorted coldly, "No one has dared to talk to me like that. Those who dared, like the 'Northeast Tiger', Song Hao… those who were arrogant towards me ended up in the crematorium!"

Qin Dalei was slightly shaken, and indeed, Lin Chuan's words truly scared Qin Dalei.

"Lin Chuan, is there really no room for negotiation?" Qin Dalei's tone softened slightly, "I see you as a person with great potential, that's why I wanted to recruit you for my own. I hope you can understand. If you join the Qin Gang, I will surely treat you like a brother. How about that?"

"No need!" Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "We should just leave each other alone, so I hope Gang Leader Qin can mind his own business."

Having said that, Lin Chuan stood up, ready to leave.

"Lin Chuan, don't be too presumptuous," Qin Dalei felt his fiery temper being ignited once again.

Lin Chuan glanced at Qin Dalei, his lips curling up slightly in a cold smile, "Gang Leader Qin, I was definitely not raised under threats. If you really want to play, I'll accompany you all the way. However, I must state in advance, if you accidentally end up like 'Northeast Tiger', don't blame anyone else."

After speaking, Lin Chuan turned and walked away.

Watching Lin Chuan's back, Qin Dalei had to admit, Lin Chuan's words had truly shaken him. Especially the imposing manner in which Lin Chuan spoke, it was overwhelming, as if instilling an unparalleled fear. That voice seemed like a soul-reaping whisper from hell.

It wasn't until Lin Chuan had left that Qin Dalei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He heavily exhaled a murky breath, then said, "This guy, I never knew he was so domineering. It seems, he can't be kept!"

Qin Dalei felt a deep dominance emanating from Lin Chuan. This dominance pressed straight to the bottom of his heart.

"Gang Leader." At this moment, Xiao Hei walked in from outside.

"Hmm!" Qin Dalei nodded, his cigar had long since gone out.
