章 153: The Quarrel Over the Machetemen

On the surface, Gu Shenwei had made peace with Meng Mingshi by offering a drink to him, while in fact, their hatred for each other had increased.

Gu Shenwei came forward to pay his respects and Fifth Young Master Meng seemed to know that he was also here to hire machetemen. Fifth Young Master Meng feigned surprise and said, "Oh, this is so coincidental. Isn't this Slave Huan? Are you running errands for the Tenth Young Master? This young chap really doesn't know how to take care of his men, running errands in the middle of the night..."

Gu Shenwei felt certain that Meng Mingshi's coming "in the middle of the night" to hire machetemen was definitely not coincidental. He said, "These men have already decided to work for me."

"Has the payment been agreed upon? Has the contract been signed?"

Gu Shenwei shook his head.
