“The four of you are finally here. I’ve been sitting here for a long time.” Ye Ying, who was sitting in the middle of the living room, saw the four of them and his lips curled into a perfect smile. “1 know everyone must have questions in their hearts as to why 1 called everyone over at this time.”

“That won’t happen. You must have something important to discuss by calling us over.” Elder Hu was the first to speak. “Everyone knows very well that the situation outside is extremely serious. Of course, we have to discuss a solution.”

“Elder Hu is indeed smart. You’re right.” Ye Ying led the way and led everyone into the dining room. “But I still have to trouble everyone to wait for a while. Elder Qiao is still on the way here.”

“Of course there’s no problem.” Elder Qi chimed in, “We, the juniors, naturally have to wait.”

At the same time, Yu Feng and Elder Qiao had already gotten into the car. They were only a few minutes away from their destination. The atmosphere in the dining room was a little awkward. It was the butler’s footsteps that broke the silence.

He bent down slightly and whispered into Ye Ying’s ear, “Young Master, dinner is ready. Should we serve the dishes now or wait a little longer?”

“There’s no need to wait. Just serve the dishes.” Ye Ying waved his hand and said to everyone, “Yu Feng just sent me a message. They’re about to arrive. When the dishes are served, everyone will basically be here.”

Right on the heels of that, delicacies were served one after another from the kitchen. Just as the last dish was served, Yu Feng brought Elder Qiao into the dining room and walked straight to the two empty seats beside Ye Ying.

As the two of them sat down, the bodyguards outside the door followed Ye Ying’s instructions and closed the door.

All the small teams were on the move, surrounding the outside of the house. There would also be people standing guard at regular intervals. No one would be allowed to escape.

“Boss, they’re all here.” After saying this, Yu Feng lowered his head and went to Ye Ying’s side. He covered his lips with one hand and said in a low voice, “Elder Qiao didn’t do anything strange. I’ve been watching him when he’s working. You can rest assured.”

After hearing this, Ye Ying’s expression didn’t change at all. He just turned his head to look at everyone. “Since the dishes are all served, let’s talk about serious matters while eating.”

“Of course there’s no problem. Young Master Ye, if you have anything to say, just say it, especially about our regiment’s future plans.”

Elder Qiao, who had just arrived, acted naturally and treated this place as his home. “Anyway, the people at the table are all family. There’s nothing to hide.”

“Before 1 get to the main event of the day, 1 think it’s better for us to eat first. I’ve been away for a while recently. The last time 1 ate with everyone seemed to be a long time ago.”

A strange smile appeared on Ye Ying’s lips, making people break out in cold sweat. “I’m just afraid that after 1 finish what I’m about to say, some people at the table won’t be in the mood to eat properly. Wouldn’t I have prepared such a sumptuous table for nothing?”

As soon as he said this, many people at the table looked surprised. Everyone understood what Ye Ying meant.

“Young Master Ye’s words are really intriguing. 1 don’t even dare to think deeper.” However, these words did not affect Elder Qiao much. He still appeared very casual. “I wonder if you’re emphasizing the importance of what you’re going to say later, or…”

“That’s impossible. Elder Qiao, you’re overthinking if you’ve thought of the second situation. I don’t mean that at all.”

Before Elder Qiao could finish speaking, Ye Ying interrupted him and cut off the second half of what he wanted to say.

Ye Ying’s gaze was fixed on everyone present. “Everyone, don’t think too much. 1 hope it didn’t affect everyone’s appetite because of me.”

“Of course not. All the elders have made a lot of contributions to the mercenary group. How can they be affected by such a small matter?” Yu Feng quickly came out to mediate. “Since Brother Ye has spent so much effort preparing dinner for us, let’s do as Brother Ye says. Let’s eat first before we talk.”

Although the others had their own opinions on what he had just said, Ye Ying was still the boss of the mercenary group after all. They had to listen to him unconditionally.

The expressions on everyone’s faces returned to normal and they began to immerse themselves in the delicacies on the table..
