Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

At this very moment, the entire shop was smashed to pieces.

......

That evening, Mr. Peel, the Consul of the Republic of France, attended the opening banquet of the business.

"I am delighted to welcome you all to our business for today's banquet."

"I believe that with everyone's support, my business will definitely thrive..."

Just as Mr. Peel, the consul from France, was speaking with great enthusiasm, a hurried figure came toward him from the crowd.

"Mr. Peel, something terrible has happened! Our trading company has been vandalized."

Upon hearing the voice, Mr. Peel froze on the spot.

How is this going? !

An ominous premonition suddenly loomed over him, and without thinking, he met the gaze of Feng Jingyao standing beside him.

In the instant their eyes met, Mr. Peel felt as if Feng Jingyao had seen through everything all along.

It must be related to Feng Jingyao in front of me!

With his lips pressed tightly together, Mr. Peel strode directly toward Feng Jingyao.

Just as they were about to approach Feng Jingyao, the butler, Uncle Xiang, immediately stepped forward, adopting a guard-like posture.

At that moment, the door was suddenly flung open, and Ding Li walked in with his head held high.

Seeing this, Feng Jingyao smiled and took the initiative to introduce them.

"Mr. Peel, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Ding Li, who works for my Chamber of Commerce."

But at this moment, Mr. Peel had no interest in listening to Feng Jingyao introduce the newcomers!

Seeing that he was related to Feng Jingyao, he immediately frowned and said in a serious tone.

"Mr. Feng, I'm sorry, this is my party, and I don't welcome him here."

That's tantamount to a slap in the face!

Ding Li, who walked over slowly, remained expressionless and simply spoke.

“Mr. Peel, I will walk by myself in a moment.”

"I'm only here to tell you something, you'll definitely regret it if you don't listen!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Peel looked at Ding Li with suspicion and asked a question.

"What's up?"

Then, Ding Li spoke slowly.

"Before I came here, I witnessed a huge scene. Your shopping mall was vandalized, completely wrecked, it was a disaster."

"Forget it, I'm not going to say any more. I'm afraid you'll get a heart attack if you listen too much, and then I won't be able to handle it later."

At that moment, as soon as Ding Li said this, Mr. Peel realized what was going on.

What's all the commotion about?!

It was probably done by the person in front of me!

In his extreme anger, Mr. Peel couldn't help but curse in French.

"Merde!"

Although Ding Li couldn't understand what he was saying, he immediately judged from Mr. Peel's expression that what he had just said was clearly not a good thing.

In a flash, he grabbed Mr. Peel by the collar and threatened him directly.

"Mr. Peel, could you please repeat what you just said in Chinese?"

Soon, Mr. Peel launched into another tirade without hesitation.

"You fucking bastard! You son of a bitch!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Li clenched his fist and then, without any mercy, punched Mr. Peel in the forehead.

Immediately, a stream of blood gushed from Mr. Peel's nose.

The guards maintaining order at the party also reacted, but they were no match for Ding Li!

One by one, they stepped forward, only to be knocked down again by Ding Li's punch.

Within minutes, all of Mr. Peel's guards were knocked to the ground by Ding Li.

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, but no one dared to step forward to help.

Meanwhile, Feng Jingyao, standing to the side, slowly puffed on his cigar, coldly observing the scene before him.

After slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Feng Jingyao spoke in a low voice.

"Ali, let's go."

Chapter 126 After the Opium Ban was issued, Feng Jingyao invited Ye Bai!

The news that Feng Jingyao had given a generous gift to the Tianlong Society and Mr. Peel soon reached Ye Bai of the Paramount Ballroom.

"This Feng Jingyao is indeed a ruthless person."

Xiao Aqiao was brewing tea on the side, shaking her head and sighing.

These words reached Ye Bai's ears, and Ye Bai smiled faintly.

"Those who can survive in Shanghai are no ordinary people!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The door was pushed open, and Xu Wenqiang, who strode in, had an unusually anxious expression on his face.

"Boss, this is terrible! The international community has issued a ban on opium, and the International Settlement has agreed to it. Now the entire Chamber of Commerce is in chaos."

As soon as the voice came out, Ye Bai's brows furrowed immediately.

It's important to know that he inherited a large business from Master Qin, which included the opium trade.

Fortunately, most of Ye Bai's opium merchants were concentrated in the French Concession, with only a small portion in the International Settlement.

Just because it has little to do with him doesn't necessarily mean it has nothing to do with other people.

This includes members of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce.

Since Ye Bai became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he has gained some understanding of the industries of the members within the Chamber.

Many of them run opium companies, large and small, and some even make opium companies their main business.

With this order from the International Settlement, isn't this directly cutting off the lifeline of opium companies of all sizes?

With a furrowed brow, Ye Bai turned his gaze to Xu Wenqiang beside him and spoke directly.

"Let's go to the Chamber of Commerce."

Upon arriving at the Chamber of Commerce, one could hear a commotion coming from the meeting room from the entrance.

"What are we going to do?! With this order issued, how are the opium merchants in the International Settlement supposed to make a living?"

"How come there wasn't even a notification? This is completely out of the blue!"

"My family deals in opium. If this order comes out, won't it take away my livelihood?!"

...

Amidst the chaotic chatter in the conference room, Ye Bai pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as he pushed open the door, the conference room fell silent.

Immediately, an even more lively discussion erupted.

"President, what do you think we should do next?"

"Yes, once this ban is issued, none of us can stop it!"

"I heard that special commissioners will be coming down soon to supervise! They might just wipe out all the opium dealers in the International Settlement!"

Amidst the chaos, Ye Bai sat in the main seat and tapped the table with both hands.

The crowd immediately fell silent, waiting for Ye Bai to speak.

"Everyone, please don't rush."

"Those foreigners don't genuinely want to ban it. They're making more money off the opium trade than anyone else!"

His calm and composed tone eased the tense atmosphere that had been building around the conference table.

However, some people still have doubts.

“Mr. Ye, what you’re saying is not something to be afraid of. You never know what might happen.”
