　　"Hey, kid! We're talking to you!" The purple-haired hoodlum yelled out aggressively in an attempt to show off in front of his superior.

　　"Have you forgotten about me?" Li Yiming turned his eyes towards the obese gangster.

　　After the two exchanged a glance, Mr. Ma's recollections gradually came back to him, and his legs started shaking uncontrollably to the point where he almost fell to the ground.

　　"Y… you!" Mr. Ma said with a trembling voice.

　　"Sit," Li Yiming said as he picked up his teacup.

　　Mr. Ma was an old companion of Li Yiming, who had previously bullied the latter and Fu Bo at a tea restaurant. After meeting him again after his arrest, Li Yiming managed to extract some valuable information about Yunlong Construction Group.

　　"I… I…" Mr. Ma trembled as a mixture of sweat and oil on his face gleamed under the light.

　　"It's been a long time," Li Yiming wanted to laugh, but could only show an apathetic expression.

　　Mr. Ma finally crumbled under the pressure and fell to his knees.

　　"Boss…" The purple-haired hoodlum tried to help his boss back up, but was dragged along to the floor as he was far from being strong enough to pull up someone like Mr. Ma.

　　"Don't be so nervous, come, let's have a talk," Li Yiming said as he glanced at the window. He could see the rest of the gang trying to peek inside despite the smoked gla.s.s.

　　"I'm sorry sir... I didn't know you were here…" Mr. Ma explained as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He knew exactly what Li Yiming's smile had meant for Yun Long Construction Group, and he feared disappearing overnight just like the mega-corporation did.

　　A myriad of thoughts flashed past Mr. Ma's mind, from political struggles to cla.s.s struggles, to fierce compet.i.tion between rival companies. Of course, it was in his best interest to avoid getting involved in any of them. He now deeply regretted not biding his time in prison, or even going to a different city to start afresh. And then, he remembered Li Yiming's parting words.

　　'I'll be watching you, and I'll come find you.'

　　The purple-haired hoodlum finally caught on to the situation — he understood that Li Yiming was not someone to be trifled with. He struggled to get up and knelt down quietly right next to his superior and immediately thought about ways to please Li Yiming while deflecting blame onto Mr. ma.
