I know about Team A, could it be that your background is even bigger than Team A?

"A." Xu Shaoyuan took a sip of his drink, saying just the letter "A." If Ye Hao asked him what he meant, he wouldn't bother explaining, because Ye Hao didn't know about Team A at all, so it would be pointless to tell him.

"So you're with Team A. Hello, my name is Ye Hao." Ye Hao reached out his hand, smiling as he spoke.

"You... you know about Team A?" Xu Shaoyuan originally thought that Team A was the most mysterious entity in the eyes of regular soldiers, but he didn't expect that just mentioning the letter "A" would make someone recognize Team A.

"Of course I know! Because I used to be part of Team A." Ye Hao said with a smile.

He reached out to shake Xu Shaoyuan's hand, who intentionally gripped it tightly. Although Ye Hao felt the pain, he managed to endure it.

He was secretly surprised that Xu Shaoyuan, not yet thirty years old, had already reached the sixth level in National Martial Arts.

Xu Shaoyuan was also amazed by Ye Hao; he couldn't gauge Ye Hao's martial arts level, but to be able to withstand his sixth-level power, at least he's around that level. Although Ye Hao didn't fight back, Xu Shaoyuan believed that if Ye Hao did, he might not be able to subdue him.

"A master among ordinary men, I'm Xu Shaoyuan!" Xu Shaoyuan said with a meaningful smile at Ye Hao.

"You're the master; I'm only at the fifth level, while you're already at the sixth." Ye Hao replied with a smile.

Xu Shaoyuan was taken aback; Ye Hao could see through his skills so easily? And Ye Hao claimed to be at the fifth level; how did he discern his own ability?

"Haha, Ye, you are too modest. Here's to us meeting, cheers!" Xu Shaoyuan, unable to figure it out, didn't get bogged down and took a big sip with Ye Hao.

Though curious about Ye Hao's previous role in Team A, Xu Shaoyuan understood the team's confidentiality policy, knowing he couldn't tell anyone about his own position except for organizational leaders.

For instance, Xu Shaoyuan was responsible for Jiepeng, and even his family didn't know where he was.

Even his father, a General, was uninformed about his assignment! Of course, if his father insisted on finding out, family members might know, but his father would never overstep like that since Team A was a significant asset under the top leader, and probing into Team A's matters would be defiant of that leader.

"Let's have another drink." Ye Hao clinked glasses with him with a smile.

In the hall, a few men were chatting, occasionally glancing at the women among the crowd.

"Huang Zushou, spot any beauties?" a young man with eleven fingers asked.

"No, many look good only with makeup; without it, they'd be terrifying," Huang Zushou shook his head, then asked, "Xie Shuxin, what about you?"

"No, indeed many aren't attractive," Xie Shuxin shook his head.

"Zhong Risheng, what about your side?" Xie Shuxin looked towards his two companions, Zhong Risheng and Dai Jingwen.

Zhong Risheng was a member of the Zhong Family's extended line. Even though it's extended, the Zhong Family's extended line is still top-tier in Yanjing, so they could join in.

As for Dai Jingwen, their family background was simpler, with a minister being the sole highlight.

"There's one, but she's sitting next to Chen Shuyan; I don't dare approach," Zhong Risheng smiled and shook his head.

"What? Miss Chen's female friend?" Xie Shuxin asked, puzzled.

"I think so. Look over there," Zhong Risheng pointed towards the booth where Ye Hao was.

They all looked over and indeed recognized great beauty.

"She's truly stunning," Xie Shuxin commented as his first response.

Afraid of competition, Huang Zushou quickly said, "She's mine; I'm going over first."

So Huang Zushou carried a glass of red wine over. Despite being short, his features were quite delicate.

He reached Ye Hao's booth but didn't step inside, standing outside with a gentlemanly smile, he said, "May I come in?"

Huang Zushou's gaze was fixed on Lin Ruyu. Even though a little intimidated by Chen Shuyan, missing this exceptional beauty beside her would be a lifelong regret.

Indeed, in the main hall, as Xie Shuxin and others watched, they felt a growing discomfort, internally chiding themselves for not acting faster.

"We're full, and I'm expecting more friends soon," Lin Ruyu smilingly declined.

Ye Hao ignored him and continued chatting with Xu Shaoyuan about amusing everyday topics.

"No worries, I'll leave when he arrives. Shuyan, I didn't know you were here too," Huang Zushou asked with a familiarly warm smile.

Out of politeness, Chen Shuyan nodded. However, she couldn't recall who he was.

"Hehe, look, I know Shuyan, so could I come in for a chat?" Huang Zushou shamelessly inquired.

Lin Ruyu glanced over at Ye Hao upon hearing this.

Ye Hao gave Huang Zushou a brief look, then said, "Come in and sit down."

"Thanks!" Huang Zushou intended to sit next to Lin Ruyu, but Lin Ruyu seemed to warn him, saying, "That's not a suitable spot for you. Pick another one, or don't blame me if someone gets mad."

"Oh? Is someone else supposed to be sitting there too?" Huang Zushou smiled and made a move to sit down, unconcerned.

"Swish!"

Just as he was about to sit, a dice shot from somewhere, hitting his knee, causing him to crumple to the ground.

"Thud"

Huang Zushou landed, making a loud sound as he sat on the floor.

"Who! Who attacked me?" Huang Zushou looked fiercely at Ye Hao and Xu Shaoyuan.

Xu Shaoyuan smiled but didn't say anything, being an unfamiliar face in Yanjing was understandable.

Ye Hao also merely smiled without speaking up.

"Cowardly scum, who was it really?" Huang Zushou continued glaring at Ye Hao and Xu Shaoyuan in anger.

In his mind, it had to be one of them; after all, it couldn't possibly be Chen Shuyan, who hadn't even moved.

"Alright, stop making a scene. If you can't stay steady, just go somewhere else. Stop disturbing us," said Ye Hao, waving him away. If it weren't for the presence of so many wealthy heirs, Ye Hao would have slapped him already.

"Hmph! Was it you?" Huang Zushou snorted coldly.

"Hey, I warned you, no one's giving up that seat. You wouldn't believe it; isn't it uncomfortable now?" Lin Ruyu said amusedly to Huang Zushou.

"You know who it is, don't you? Tell me who it is, see if I don't break their bones for playing dirty." Huang Zushou dropped his facade, showing a rogue demeanor.

"Enough, enough, what can you do if it's me? Get lost! You're bothering me," Xu Shaoyuan impatiently swatted him away like a fly. (To be continued.
