After playing for a while at the archery hall, Su Ming took Deng Zhigang and Tang Hanyang to the Hot Spring Hotel for fun.

This hotel was managed by Su Ming, although he hadn't visited in a long time.

Upon arriving at the Hot Spring Hotel, Su Ming went straight to his office.

Tang Hanyang, upon seeing the lavish office, couldn't help but praise, "Brother Ming, you're amazing to have such a luxurious office."

Deng Zhigang laughed and said, "You might not know, but the Cyan Mountain Archery Hall also belongs to Brother Ming."

"Amazing, truly amazing!" Tang Hanyang continuously praised, not knowing what other words to use besides "amazing"!

Tang Hanyang even imagined that Su Ming must have a remarkable background to own both the Cyan Mountain Archery Hall and the Hot Spring Hotel.

This made Tang Chaoyang even more determined to follow Su Ming wholeheartedly.

Su Ming, however, reminded them, "Be careful these days, I estimate someone might retaliate against us."

"Don't worry, Brother Ming, I'm already mentally prepared," Tang Hanyang said solemnly.

He also wanted to achieve something significant since he was only a kingpin in Jiang City, which was insignificant in Longcheng!

In the following days, Su Ming's schedule remained fixed; every day, he took Deng Zhigang and Tang Hanyang to the Cyan Mountain Archery Hall to play a bit and handle some affairs, then on to manage the Hot Spring Hotel.

Su Ming checked the cash flow at both places, totaling over twenty million.

Zhou Jingya had said that the working capital from the archery hall and the Hot Spring Hotel could be used by Su Ming at his discretion, but must be returned after use.

Su Ming could earn ten percent of the profits from both places each year.

Currently, Su Ming wasn't particularly concerned with money but with the connections these two places brought.

People who came to the Hot Spring Hotel were either rich or of high status.

Li Guoqiang's excellent network in the past was due to owning the Cyan Mountain Archery Hall and Yunze Outdoor Hot Spring Hotel.

The reason these prominent figures liked to bring their lovers there boiled down to two points.

First, this place had good feng shui, and prominent figures cared a lot about feng shui.

Being able to indulge in such an auspicious place was their favorite thing, and if they could conceive a child, it would be even more joyous.

Second, the Hot Spring Hotel offered excellent privacy, allowing for play without worrying about privacy breaches.

Moreover, the facilities and food here were top-notch, though this was just an added benefit, as they cared most about feng shui and privacy.

Recently, Su Ming had been in a bad mood because he broke up with his boss's wife.

He kept bringing Deng Zhigang with him, wanting to know whether his boss's wife would go to Mingchang Company to handle affairs.

If Su Ming went to Mingchang Company, his ex-wife would undoubtedly avoid him.

During this period, Su Ming was also keeping an eye on Wu Rong's two plots of land.

Although sending people to intimidate workers was one method, Su Ming was more worried about Wu Rong using connections to get the official stamps needed.

A construction site needed to go through multiple approvals with numerous official stamps required.

Su Ming used his connections to prevent Wu Rong from securing all the stamps while also stationing people at the construction site to drive off any workers, causing delays in the project.

At this moment, Su Ming was strolling around the Hot Spring Hotel parking lot when an Audi drove up.

An Audi is one of the most intimidating types of cars.

This car could be driven by an ordinary person or have the mayor seated inside.

Seeing this car, Su Ming felt a jolt of anxiety!

The car stopped, and two people emerged from it.

One was tall and muscular, with sharp, scrutinizing eyes, exuding an aura of decisiveness, clearly not an ordinary person.

The other was exceptionally beautiful, with outstanding charisma, and tall, a stunning beauty by any standards.

The two immediately looked like a couple, perfectly matched.

The beautiful woman saw Su Ming and exclaimed with a delighted face, "Su Ming, what a coincidence to see you here."

Su Ming pondered for a moment before recalling that the woman was the wife of Deputy Director Li Lisen from the police department.

And the man was the Deputy Director Li Lisen, who had done Su Ming a favor.

"Director Li, Mrs. Li, hello! The hotel is currently managed by me, and your stay here will be completely free," Su Ming warmly said.

"Alright," Mrs. Li happily accepted Su Ming's offer.

Li Lisen smiled and said, "So you're Su Ming!"

"Yes, Director Li, you've helped me so much, I've been meaning to visit to thank you, and since you're here today, let's have a drink together?" Su Ming politely suggested.

"Alright," Li Lisen agreed cheerfully, "It's my wife's birthday today, so I brought her to celebrate at the Hot Spring Hotel, and it's wonderful to run into you."

"Over this period, thanks to Director Li's care, I might have ended up in trouble otherwise!" Su Ming gratefully said, "Would you like to speak in my office?"

"Sounds good," Li Lisen nodded, following Su Ming to his office.

After Su Ming personally prepared good tea for the couple, Li Lisen spoke directly, "You had a conflict with Yuan Zhipeng last time, do you know who released him?"

"I'm really not sure," Su Ming was immediately intrigued.

"I released him," Li Lisen stated unexpectedly.

Su Ming was momentarily taken aback but then maintained his composure, saying, "You must have had your reasons for releasing him."

Li Lisen sighed and said, "Sitting in a position like mine is like sitting on a knife-edge; there are countless social norms to handle, with Li Guoqiang speaking for you and influential figures petitioning for Yuan Zhipeng!"

"I completely understand you," Su Ming agreed wholeheartedly.

After all, today's world wasn't about violence anymore, but about human relations!

"That night, it was Lin Yaodong who called me to release him," Li Lisen directly stated.

"Who is this Lin Yaodong?" Su Ming asked in confusion.

"You can oppose Lao Qiming yet not know who Lin Yaodong is?" Li Lisen asked somewhat perplexed.

"Yeah, I really don't know," Su Ming replied a bit awkwardly.

"He's a big shot in the Provincial City and my superior, when he called me to release him, could I refuse?" Li Lisen explained.

"Of course you had to release him," Su Ming fully understood Li Lisen's action.

After all, the rank above can crush people.

In this country, no one dares to disobey their superior's words.

"Sorry for the trouble, Director Li," Su Ming said a bit sheepishly.

"No worries," Li Lisen waved his hand and asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

"I have made an enmity with the Lao Family, they will surely retaliate against me, but I am not afraid as my conscience is clear," Su Ming declared resolutely.

"Impressive, facing a powerful entity and speaking such words truly commands respect, and I consider you a friend," Li Lisen said with admiration.

"Thank you for the compliment, Director Li," Su Ming sincerely thanked.

"Alright, I'll go for a swim with my wife first, and we'll drink later," Li Lisen said.
