Just when I was about to walk over, I was suddenly pulled by someone. I turned my head and looked, and found it was Sister Ling. Sister Ling looked at me and shook her head, saying: \"Have you thought it through? What can you solve by going over like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sister Ling's words, I slowly regained my reason. Sister Ling was right. I couldn't solve anything by going over now, and the other party was followed by five or six people. I was alone, and going up was obviously going to my death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded at Sister Ling: \"Thank you, Sister Ling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you have hatred for Su Xueyan's previous incident, but you can't do anything now. If you really want to seek revenge, you have to change yourself. Otherwise, I still suggest you honestly go to school!\" Sister Ling said without any politeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I understood Sister Ling's meaning and also knew that Sister Ling was doing it for my own good. I put away my anger and followed Sister Ling into the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the hotel, I was shocked by the scene inside. This was simply too gorgeous, and it couldn't be compared with what I had seen before. I guess if Sister Ling hadn't brought me in, I wouldn't have been able to get in at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but ache. How much money would this meal cost? Sister Ling brought me to a private room on the second floor. What surprised me was that Zhang Longtao also followed us into the room. I was very confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Ling patted me on the shoulder, signaling me not to speak. I could only shut my mouth and follow Sister Ling into the private room like a little follower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Longtao sat there like a master. Seeing me behind Sister Ling, his expression was cold, and he said coldly to Sister Ling: \"Sister Ling, you brought this guy here, are you trying to plead for him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Tao, after all, you two don't have any deep hatred. It's better to resolve grievances than to keep them. For my sake, don't care about him!\" Sister Ling also sat down, while I stood on the side, not daring to sit down, because the people Zhang Longtao brought didn't sit down, and I dared not sit down even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next moment, Sister Ling directly took my hand and signaled me to sit down. I was extremely nervous, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Longtao looked at me and Yu Manling, his expression strange, and then smiled and looked at Yu Manling: \"Is Sister Ling determined to protect this guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Manling didn't speak, but called the waiter to serve the dishes, and then smiled slightly at Zhang Longtao: \"Let's eat first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Longtao's expression was uncertain. He didn't understand what Sister Ling was trying to do, but he wasn't afraid either. He took a cigarette out of his arms and lit it. You know, Sister Ling had always disliked others smoking in front of her. This was clearly a provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Manling frowned, looked at Zhang Longtao smoking, coughed twice, and said: \"Little Tao, this is a public place. It's not good for you to smoke here, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Sister Ling, I'm used to it!\" After saying that, Zhang Longtao quickly took the cigarette and pressed it on the table to extinguish the cigarette butt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dishes that came up next made me dumbfounded. Many of them were dishes I had never seen before, and they didn't look cheap at all. This was indeed the life of the rich, which was really unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter opened a bottle of wine and poured it for me, Sister Ling, and Zhang Longtao. There was actually a dedicated 1-on-1 waiter serving. This place was really extravagantly unimaginable. Yu Manling picked up the wine glass, raised it, smiled, and said: \"Little Tao, Yang Yun is my younger brother, so I don't want my younger brother to be hurt. Let's finish this glass of wine and we'll be the same as before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yu Manling's words, Zhang Longtao's face turned black, and he stood up angrily: \"What if I don't accept it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we won't even be friends anymore, and all the venues under my banner will naturally cancel their cooperation with you!\" Yu Manling smiled slightly, not at all frightened by Zhang Longtao's momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Longtao looked at Yu Manling's expression and saw that Yu Manling was serious and not joking. He was even angrier, pointed at me, and shouted: \"Sister Ling, are you going against me just for this stinky fool?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this guy call me a stinky fool, I stood up and wanted to beat him, but after all, this was a negotiation between Sister Ling and Zhang Longtao. If I interrupted at this time, it might break Sister Ling's rhythm, and it wouldn't have any effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Manling's smile faded, and it turned into coldness, shouting: \"Let me correct you, he is my younger brother. If you insult him like this again, there will be no need for us to negotiate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Yu Manling was really angry, Zhang Longtao quickly smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said apologetically: \"Sister Ling, sorry, I was impulsive just now, I'll punish myself with a glass!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Zhang Longtao drank the wine in one gulp. At this time, I was very confused. Zhang Longtao was actually scared by Sister Ling. Was Sister Ling's background so powerful that even Zhang Longtao was wary of her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remember Sister Ling's husband seemed to be quite powerful, but Sister Ling was already a widow now, and her husband's threat was no longer there, yet she was still so overbearing. I now realized that the situation in the upper-class society was not something a small person like me could figure out. I don't know when I will be able to integrate into them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhang Longtao filled the wine again and toasted Sister Ling: \"I naturally have no opinion on what Sister Ling said just now. Since he is Sister Ling's younger brother, I naturally won't make things difficult for him, but I have a condition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Manling sat down slowly, looked at Zhang Longtao, and asked: \"What condition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very simple, it's that this guy stays away from my sister!\" Zhang Longtao held the wine glass and still stood there, not daring to sit down, waiting for Sister Ling's answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Manling smiled slightly and said: \"These are all young people's affairs, how can I manage them? If you really want your sister to stay away from him, I suggest you go back and discipline your sister well first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now it's me talking to you like this. If this matter is known by my father later, then it won't be me talking to you, it will be my father talking to you. Don't blame me for not reminding you!\" Zhang Longtao snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, how scary. Using your father to pressure me? Sorry, I don't eat this set. That's your family matter, solve it yourself!\" Yu Manling pretended to be scared and teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I've said all I have to say, I can't manage the rest. I'll finish this glass of wine!\" Then Zhang Longtao drank the wine in his hand and then left with his people directly. When he left, he stared at me viciously for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Ling, why is Zhang Longtao so afraid of you?\" Seeing them leave, I asked my question. ===== CHAPTER 31 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1312,"2026-06-11T15:09:04.179Z","2026-06-11T16:09:06.539Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","cccf71a8044b3716aeac5deeef6be36a959ccecb35d8d03c4fdeb10921d276ea","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-31","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-29",227,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-warlord-cover.jpg"]
