," the secretary replied."Alright, you tell them, the young lady will be there shortly!" Qin Ming beamed with joy."Dad, what's so exciting" Qin Hongjiang asked after Qin Ming hung up the phone. He had...[ ]

Half an hour later, Ling Hao and Lu Yue drove towards their destination.

More than an hour later, Lu Yue slammed on the brakes, bringing his car to a stop in front of a sizable teahouse on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city.

"Big brother!" The two had just gotten out of the car when the judge walked over and greeted Lu Yue.

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded and said, "How is the situation"

"According to what I've heard, the owner of this tea house is surnamed Zhang. He is a low-key person and rarely shows his face. The business of the teahouse is managed by a woman named Hongjie." replied the judge.

"When they took on assassin jobs, they never said they were from the Mok Geet and wouldn't let clients ask further questions. They just told the clients to go home and wait for news!"

"Well! Let's go have a look!" Ling Hao nodded again and turned to walk towards the teahouse. Lu Yue and the two followed closely behind.

Come in, please!

Three people walked into the hall, and a woman in a cheongsam came over.

"Are there any private rooms" the judge asked.

"Yes, please follow me!" The cheongsam woman smiled and nodded, then led the three of them into a private room.

"Would you like some tea" the woman asked with a smile after they entered the private room.

"I hear that your teahouse has a tea called Mo Xiang Chun" The judge looked up at the woman.

"Huh" The woman was slightly taken aback. "Are the three gentlemen here specially for Mo Xiang Chun"

"Hmm!" The judge nodded. "I've heard it tastes great, let's have a pot!"

"Sir, Mo Xiangchun is our most expensive tea here, the price is a bit high, I wonder if the three of you could accept it!" The cheongsam woman paused again after her surprise and continued.

"Is that so How much" the judge continued to ask.

"One pot, ten thousand!" the woman responded.

"My goodness, you guys are running a business here that could rival banks." The judge replied with an air of disbelief.

"Sir, you're joking!" the woman smiled. "If the three of you find the price a bit high, we have many other good teas here at very affordable prices. Perhaps..."

"We came all this way specifically for Mo Xiang Chun, otherwise, what would be the point of traveling so far" The Judge interrupted her.

"Go ahead, don't worry about the money, just make sure the tea is good. Bring me many pots, money is no object!"

"Alright then, please wait a moment!" The woman paused for a second before walking towards the door. As she turned around, a strange glint flashed in her eyes.

"When did you become so extravagant" Lu Yue asked after the woman had left.

"Not drinking this tea must mean you haven't met the boss, right Is there something special about this tea" Ling Hao said with a faint smile.

"Still, Big Brother is the most impressive!" The judge chuckled.

Generally speaking, Mo Ge doesn't accept orders from strangers. They rely on referrals from acquaintances, and this Mo Xiang Chun tea is only known to those in the know.

"Well done, even this you can figure out" Lu Yue laughed.

"Of course, what else would we do We can't just surround the tea house directly, can we" The judge grinned. "What if the owner of the tea house isn't there That would scare the snake away!"

"Good progress!" Lu Yue smiled again.

Tap, tap, tap!

After chatting for a while, the sound of high heels echoed down the hallway.

Then a tall woman walked in, followed by the cheongsam lady from before, carrying teacups.

Around thirty years old, with beautiful features and a well-proportioned figure, she exudes the unique mature charm of a married woman.

"Welcome, gentlemen, to my humble shop!" As the three men approached, the woman smiled brightly.

"Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Xu Hong, but everyone calls me Hongjie. I'm in charge of this tea house."

"Hello!" The judge smiled faintly.

"May I ask for your names, three" Xu Hong smiled in return.

"This is Ling Shao!" The judge pointed to Ling Hao and introduced him.

“It’s actually Young Master Ling!” Xu Hong smiled again and walked up to Ling Hao, extending her right hand as she spoke, “Welcome Young Master Ling.”

As they spoke, their eyes swept over Ling Hao, a strange glint in them.

Ling Hao's aura of a monarch, though veiled, gave her the first impression that he was extraordinary!

"No, no, you're too kind!" Ling Hao said with a smile as he shook hands with the other person.

"Young Master Ling, because the Osmanthus Fragrance Spring you ordered is a special tea in our teahouse, it requires a certain level of skill to brew it properly, otherwise most of the tea's flavor will be lost."

Xu Hong, while speaking, gestured for the cheongsam woman to put down the tea set and continued: "If Shao Ling doesn't mind, this humble woman would like to make tea for the three of you. Would that be alright"

"

“Thank you, Sister Hong!” Ling Hao responded with a smile.

"

"Ling Shao, you're too kind! It's nothing!" Xu Hong said, then went to sit down in front of the tea set.

"Ling Shao shouldn't be a local, right" Xu Hong said as she poured the tea, "Judging by Ling Shao's accent, he's from the north"

"Sister Hong, you have great taste!" Ling Hao smiled faintly.

"Ling Shao is right, it was just a guess of mine." Xu Hong placed the tea leaves in the tea holder and smiled gently.

Afterwards, he focused intently on making tea, his movements smooth and graceful, clearly those of a true connoisseur.

"Three, please!"

After a while, Xu Hong smiled and handed the three cups of tea to Ling Hao and his two companions.

"Thank you!" Ling Hao raised his cup for a sip of tea.

After putting down the teacup, he spoke: "Not bad! As expected of a renowned tea, worth the price!"

"Thank you, Young Master Ling, for your recognition!" Xu Hong smiled again and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Young Master Ling came to my shop besides tasting tea, there should be something else, right"

This is the rule of this teahouse. Even if someone orders Mo Xiang Chun, it doesn't necessarily mean they will accept the order.

Xu Hong's process of making tea is also her process of assessing the guests.

Unless she takes the initiative, one hundred thousand yuan will only be enough for a few cups of tea.

"Hehehe, it's a small matter indeed." Ling Hao smiled. "I want to find someone, I wonder if Sister Hong could help"

"Looking for someone" Xu Hong was taken aback. She rarely had customers ask her to find someone.

After a slight pause, she looked at Ling Hao and continued speaking.

"I'm sorry, I might disappoint Ling Shao. Besides tea, I have some other small businesses here, but I'm not good at finding people."

"Hee hee, Sister Hong doesn't need to reject me so quickly. I'm looking for someone, and you guys must know." Ling Hao smiled again.

"Oh" Xu Hong was taken aback again. "I don't know who Young Master Ling is looking for"

"This matter, Sister Hong might find it difficult to make a decision. If it's convenient, could you meet with your Mr. Zhou" Ling Hao didn't respond to her.

"Huh"

Xu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the woman in the cheongsam next to her was also taken aback.

The owner of the tea house, to begin with, isn't well-known. Most people believe that the owner is Xu Hong.

But very few people know that the boss's last name is Zhou!

It's obvious that the other party is prepared! nervous for a moment and didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth and blurted out the thoughts in her heart, "Why is the King so cold to me I know I made some mistakes these past few days, but d...
