C131 He Went up to the Top Floor and Asked Hsiao Ruloong to Come out

When Lin Dong glanced at Lin Ruobing, he was inquiring whether the Skyfire Motorcycle Club members had arrived.

Lin Ruobing confirmed they had.

Despite their limited interactions, and Lin Ruobing's apparent disdain for Lin Dong at those times, they shared an innate understanding.

A single glance was enough to convey their thoughts to each other—a serendipitous connection.

However, Zhao Lee wasn't entirely at ease after hearing Lin Dong's words.

She was exceptionally capable, not one to take things step by step like most.

She was the kind of person who thought several moves ahead.

Zhao Lee considered Lin Dong's composure a sign of his preparedness, but she knew Manager Xiao was no ordinary adversary.

Manager Xiao, known as Hsiao Ruloong, had a rough past in the streets.

He later joined Auspicious Hero as a security guard and, somehow, climbed his way to the general manager position within a few years.

He was intelligent and exerted strong control over his subordinates.

Many had attempted to confront him, but those who did so covertly had all but vanished.

Though Lin Dong was the boss, a misstep could lead to a significant conflict with Hsiao Ruloong.

Such a conflict could jeopardize the future of Auspicious KTV, a situation Zhao Lee wanted to avoid at all costs—otherwise, she'd rather resign.

She told Lin Dong, "Boss, I've made some connections here. They've been oppressed by Hsiao Ruloong for a long time, suffering unfair treatment and harboring deep resentment. If I reach out to them, we can surely sway them to our side."

"Excellent!" Lin Dong's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

He had been concerned about lacking allies on site and thought he might depend on the Skyfire Motorcycle Club to take down Hsiao Ruloong.

Now, with Zhao Lee's assistance in rallying internal support, they could coordinate an inside-out strategy, adding a layer of security to their plan.

This bolstered his confidence in tackling Hsiao Ruloong.

Zhao Lee added, "Boss, I'll start assembling those who are ready to stand against Hsiao Ruloong. Many are veterans who've been demoted because they wouldn't kowtow to him. They're skilled and will undoubtedly become valuable assets to you in the future."

"Alright, you can go. I'll handle Hsiao Ruloong."

Lin Dong gave a nod of approval.

Zhao Lee promptly and decisively left to gather her contacts.

Watching her depart, Lin Ruobing slightly furrowed her brow and asked, "Aren't you worried she might betray us?"

Lin Dong offered a reassuring smile and replied, "I employ those I trust and avoid those I doubt! Since I've chosen to trust Zhao Lee, I'll let her act with confidence. If worst comes to worst, we can do without Auspicious. It's not the end of the world."

Lin Ruobing gave Lin Dong a look of astonishment.

Auspicious KTV was valued at a billion — no small sum.

Even top-tier wealthy families wouldn't easily give up such a lucrative opportunity.

Lin Dong's magnanimity was striking.

How wealthy must he be?

Unaware of Lin Ruobing's thoughts, Lin Dong casually tossed a grape into his mouth, chewed it with a crunch, and said, "Tell Bashan and the others to head straight to the top floor when they arrive. I'm going to meet Hsiao Ruloong now!"

Bashan was the tattooed man Lin Dong had encountered at the Skyfire Motorcycle Club.

Lin Dong remembered him well; his formidable build was not something the average person could handle.

"You're taking a big risk going alone. Wait for the others, then we'll all go up together," Lin Ruobing cautioned, frowning.

"Are you concerned about me?" Lin Dong asked with a smile.

Under his gaze, Lin Ruobing huffed, "I'm worried if you die, I won't be able to buy the Skyfire Motorcycle Club!"

"Ha, no need to worry about that. Hsiao Ruloong alone isn't a threat to me. I'll head up first; you follow when you're ready."

With that, Lin Dong left the private room, exuding calm.

His confidence wasn't born from recklessness, but from his exceptional soccer skills.

At that moment, he could control the muscles in his legs with precision — ordinary people were no match for him.

He took the elevator straight to the top floor.

As the elevator doors slid open, two men in black suits approached with furrowed brows and said, "Who are you? This isn't a place for just anyone. Please leave."

Lin Dong glanced at them, hands in his pockets, and declared, "I'm your boss. Tell Hsiao Ruloong to come out and meet me!"
