Luo Yang glanced at the two bags of cash on the table, then turned his gaze to Qi Yun. After staring at him for a few seconds, he smiled and said, "Haha, since President Qi has spoken, I'll give you this face. The matter with those three people is in the past."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun also smiled, lifted his teacup, and said, "President Luo is straightforward. I'll use tea instead of wine to thank you for this gesture."

With that, he drained his teacup.

After putting down the cup, he planned to continue talking about finding the person, when he noticed Luo Yang looking at him with a half-smile before saying, "But President Qi, my little brother-in-law's issue is settled, yet your subordinate outside has injured several of my employees."

"Although the medical expenses aren't much, my face is genuinely lost. How do you think we should settle this account?"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive.

Zhang Dayong's face darkened, and his gaze at Luo Yang was tinged with coldness.

However, Qi Yun remained calm, speaking in a steady tone, "What does President Luo suggest?"

He naturally didn't believe the other was looking to save face; this wasn't a petty thug issue. Face was nothing compared to profit. Besides, the only ones who knew about the incident were Luo Yang's men, and there were no outsiders, so losing face didn't exist.

Luo Yang toyed with the teacup in his hand, a playful smile on his face, and remained silent for a long time.

Just as Zhang Dayong was about to lose his temper, Luo Yang suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, President Qi, I'm just kidding around, don't take it to heart."

"I'll finish this cup of tea, and now we're friends, meeting through a little quarrel!"

With that, he raised his teacup in a gesture.

Qi Yun watched Luo Yang's every move calmly and only let out a light laugh when Luo Yang emptied his cup, saying, "President Luo, that was quite a joke, my heart almost couldn't take it."

Luo Yang laughed twice, his thick hand slapping his knee, "Haha, I'm a rough person, that's just my nature, please forgive me, President Qi."

Silently watching, Zhang Dayong's icy expression finally relaxed.

After a few more pleasantries, Qi Yun got to the point, taking a photo out of his pocket and sliding it in front of Luo Yang, "President Luo, the other reason I invited you this time is to ask for your help in finding the person in this photo."

"He's a friend of mine, and he went missing a few days ago in an urban village in the New District, and we haven't found any trace of him since."

Luo Yang glanced at the photo, and his expression immediately froze. He looked up to stare at Qi Yun, asking, "Did something happen to Old Ghost?"

Qi Yun looked surprised upon hearing this, exclaiming, "You know Old Ghost too?"

Luo Yang nodded, "I grew up poor, with three siblings below me, and the family couldn't afford to feed so many mouths, so I started mixing in society at a young age."

"Old Ghost and I apprenticed under the same master; he's like a senior brother to me. But later on, I broke the rules and was expelled by the master."

Qi Yun clicked his tongue upon hearing this, remarking on the connection, indeed.

"Old Ghost did run into trouble. Two days ago, he sent a message to my friend saying someone was targeting him, and then he couldn't be reached anymore."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang looked concerned, "I'll arrange for people to investigate immediately and notify you as soon as there's news."

"Director Zhang, I'll visit you another day." With that, he got up and headed towards the door of the private room.

Qi Yun glanced at the two bags of money on the table and called out, "President Luo, take the money with you."

Without turning back, Luo Yang waved his hand, "Got a new wife, my little brother-in-law's matters have long ceased to be my concern."

Watching his departing figure, Qi Yun couldn't help but smile, finding the man rather interesting.
