Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 37

"Knock, knock!" There was someone at the door.

The man inside the room withdrew his gaze away from the scene in the distance and slowly turned as he gave a simple reply," Come in!"

His face did not appear handsome but his personality was aspiring and gentle, which made him look attractive. About twenty six years old, he wore a pair of rimless glasses, and looked very elegant even with an air of solemnity about him.

The door opened and a young man entered the room clad in a down coat. Holding a lollipop in his mouth, he took off his coat and then reported to the man inside, who happened to be the mayor of A City," Mr. Mayor, we've confirmed that David is in the hospital!"

Edgar Gu smiled upon hearing the news. Walking up to the table where a tea set was placed, he poured himself and Bill Li a cup of tea respectively. Then he replied flatly," David has been responsible for a lot of crimes in the city going back several years. He is so brutal that people from inside the government as well as criminal gangs let everything about him slide. Now who would dare to harm such a man ?"

Glancing at the tea Edgar had poured for him, Bill pursed his lips in disgust, but took it from his hands and sipped anyway. Its bitter taste made him frown. "Tea doesn't taste as good as coke," he mumbled. Then he said clearly," David has acted absurdly and run amuck in the city. But his gang members are powerful, tactful and sophisticated. The government and other gangs can benefit from them so they aren't willing to offend them."

He paused for a moment and continued," I think whoever harmed him is extremely daring. Hey hey..."

"Humph!" Edgar snorted. Staring at Bill, he said," Everyone in A city is afraid of the man who harmed David. He is powerful and overbearing. Do you know who he is?"

Bill Li was silent for a while. Suddenly his eyes lit up. With the lollipop in his hand, he uttered," Brian! ?"

Without saying anything, Edgar Gu added some water into the teapot. Under the glasses, a flash of contempt came into his eyes.

'Brian!'

Even today, no one knew his actual identity. Some people hadn't even heard his name. However, what really surprised Edgar was the fact that a man like him was able to become so powerful in such a short time.He had left the city for only five years and now had come back again.

"I've heard that Brian is cruel, but why would he take any action against David? Their activities are totally different." With furrowed brows, Bill took the lollipop out of his mouth and thoughtfully said," Who do you think is more powerful, Brian or David?"

Edgar Gu slightly raised a corner of his lips and slowly replied with an aggressive expression marking his gentle face," It doesn't matter who is more powerful. I think it would be best to deal with the matter properly and tactfully instead of directly standing against them. Now that they have become enemies, we don't have to deal with both of them!"

Bill shrugged and put the lollipop inside his mouth again, excitedly saying," The situation of A City is going to change and it will be under another man's control very soon..."
