“Chen Fan, how do you know Sister Hong?”
Xia Bingqing had always looked down on people from the underworld, but after meeting Hong Ying today, her opinion had changed.
Hence, she addressed her as Sister Hong!
Chen Fan was momentarily stunned and replied, "I went to her club once, and that's how we met!"
Xia Bingqing was no fool. One visit and they were now close friends?
And their conversation was so ambiguous!
The most important point was that she was willing to help him despite being mere acquaintances?
Clearly, he was lying!
“Chen Fan, if you're going to lie, at least put some effort into it, alright?”
Xia Bingqing’s expression soured.
Chen Fan immediately added, “Maybe it's because I'm handsome!”
“Get lost!”
Xia Bingqing shot Chen Fan a fierce glare, then slammed the door and got back into her car.
Chen Fan sighed. Telling the truth and getting cursed at?
That's just unfair!
Afterward, the two left the Royal Dynasty Club.
…
Meanwhile, at Jin Ding Villa.
Huang Tianxiong drove here after his conflict with Hong Ying.
The owner of Jin Ding Villa, Jin Shan, was an elder statesman of Lin City's underworld. His connections reached the provincial capital, and even though he had retired, he remained the hidden boss of Lin City's underworld.
Jin Shan had white hair and a kind face, holding a string of prayer beads.
He sat in the Buddhist hall, chanting scriptures.
Soon, Huang Tianxiong walked in, cupped his hands in prayer towards the Buddha statue, and said to Jin Shan, "Master Jin, I have something to tell you!"
Jin Shan stopped his movements and said faintly, "What is it?"
Huang Tianxiong spat, "Hong Ying has overstepped her bounds!"
"I plan to take action!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Shan furrowed his brows and asked, "What happened?"
Huang Tianxiong recounted the entire incident to Jin Shan.
Naturally, he omitted the part where his son had harassed someone.
Jin Shan didn't fully believe Huang Tianxiong and said calmly, "If it's truly as you say, then Hong Ying is being unreasonable!"
Huang Tianxiong clenched his fist. "This time, she's gone too far!"
As he was speaking…
"Huang Tianxiong, you have no class, coming to Master Jin to complain again!" Hong Ying said sarcastically, slowly walking into the Buddhist hall.
"You still have the nerve to come here?" Huang Tianxiong roared.
Hong Ying smiled indifferently. "I haven't done anything wrong, why shouldn't I dare to come? As for you, what face do you have to see the old master? If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to come to the old master to whine!"
Seeing Hong Ying, Jin Shan smiled warmly. "You girl, your mouth really doesn't spare anyone!"
"Master Jin, every word I say is the truth!"
Hong Ying snorted.
"Alright, alright, this is not a place for arguments. Hurry up and come out!"
"To argue in the Buddhist hall, what kind of decorum is that?"
Jin Shan placed his hands behind his back and walked out leisurely.
He arrived at the reception hall.
Huang Tianxiong's gaze was sharp, and he said word by word, "Master Jin, I'm here today to get an explanation!"
"Hong Ying has gone too far!"
"You see…"
Hong Ying sneered and interrupted. "Huang Tianxiong, look at the messes you've made, and you still think *I'm* going too far? Where's your face?"
"Master Jin, please don't interfere in this matter!"
"Let him make a move. I've been itching for some action lately and want to stretch my muscles!"
"You…" Huang Tianxiong trembled with anger, completely unexpected Hong Ying would say that.
Jin Shan did not get angry, a slight smile on his face, and said calmly, "Come, come, you both belong to the same circle, why must it be like this?"
"Speak your minds, why fight to the death, spilling blood?"
