Ten antidote pills were stuffed into the mouths of the Zhang family members, and the poison in Zhang Yue's family and several other Zhang family members was quickly cleared.
Long Xiao recited an antidote prescription and asked Zhang Yue to fetch the medicine. The Zhang family members were all learned in medicine and had a pharmacy at home. Soon, Zhang Yue returned with a large bag of medicine and a decocting tool.
After decocting the medicine and administering it to the others, it didn't take long for those who were immobile to move again. The pain and dizziness in Zhang Huan's family had all disappeared.
Seeing that all the Zhang family members were safe, Zhang Yantong also breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and slapped Zhang Huan.
"You unfilial wretch, how dare you collude with outsiders to poison your father!"
"Dad, I really didn't know that Matsumoto old man poisoned you."
Another slap sent Zhang Huan sprawling.
"Dad, I really..."
Zhang Yantong slapped Zhang Huan again and said, "Guards, lock up Zhang Huan's family! If they dare to leave the manor without my command, break their legs."
Several bodyguards took Zhang Huan's family away. Zhang Yantong then said, "Mobilize everyone, find Matsumoto Tianyi for me."
Just after noon, peace returned to the Zhang family. Zhang Yantong was extremely grateful to Long Xiao, knowing that if Long Xiao hadn't been at the Zhang family, they would have faced disaster this time.
With nothing more to be done here, Long Xiao prepared to take his leave.
Sitting in the main hall, Zhang Yantong said, "Long Xiao, how can I thank you? Do you want money, or do you want my Celestial Master inheritance?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "Old Master Zhang, I am not short of money and I also have my own inheritance. I don't need these."
"Then what do you want? I will give you anything you want."
"Old Master Zhang, I don't want anything. Minlan is our friend, and it's only right to help."
Zhang Yantong looked at Zhang Minlan, then at Long Xiao, and a look of sudden realization crossed his face. "Oh, so that's how it is. I understand. Alright, I'll make the decision. I'll marry Minlan to you."
Long Xiao was completely taken aback by Zhang Yantong. Although Zhang Minlan was beautiful and cute, Long Xiao already had Lin Xuan. He only admired other girls and had no other thoughts.
Zhang Minlan's pretty face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head. Ever since she met Long Xiao, she had felt a sense of familiarity. She felt as if Long Xiao was like an elder brother next door, and she felt very safe by his side.
Seeing that Zhang Yantong had misunderstood him, Long Xiao hurriedly said, "Old Master Zhang, Minlan and I are just ordinary friends. Besides, I am already married."
Zhang Minlan looked up at Long Xiao, her eyes filled with disappointment and sadness. She felt a pang in her heart.
Zhang Yantong burst into laughter. "I'm sorry, Long Xiao, I misunderstood your intentions. Since you don't want money, I won't insist. From now on, if you have any trouble in the South Sea, our Zhang family will go through fire and water to help you."
Long Xiao nodded. "Good. If I encounter any trouble in the South Sea in the future, I will definitely seek the Zhang family's help, Old Master Zhang."
Long Xiao insisted on not accepting any reward, so Zhang Yantong felt embarrassed to let him leave empty-handed. He instructed Zhang Minlan to buy some South Sea specialties for Long Xiao and his companions to take with them.
Long Xiao couldn't refuse some local specialties. Zhang Minlan took Long Xiao and his companions on a tour for the entire afternoon, buying various seafood and South Sea specialties. They packed them into their car, filling the trunk to the brim.
Zhang Yantong offered to send them off by plane, but Long Xiao told him that they were not in a hurry to return and planned to travel around, so there was no need for a ride.
The next morning, the Zhang family saw them off at the entrance of the Zhang family manor, waving goodbye.
The South Sea was not large. Just after noon, Long Xiao and his group crossed the cross-sea bridge.
Xiao Ming, who had been playing on his phone all the way, cried out that he was hungry after crossing the bridge and wanted to have a big meal.
Long Xiao drove into the city of Haizhou and found a relatively large restaurant, parking the car at the entrance.
As soon as the car stopped, they heard a bang from behind as another car crashed into them.
Long Xiao and his companions got out to take a look. The car that had crashed into them from behind was a BMW Seven Series. The driver was an old woman in a red dress, and in the passenger seat sat a young man in his early twenties with oily hair and a powdered face.
"Are you blind? Parking your car here and crashing into our car. Pay up quickly." The young man got out, kicked Long Xiao's car, and yelled.
Xiao Ming, who was already hungry, got out and, seeing someone acting aggressively, walked over, ready to fight, but Long Xiao stopped him.
Long Xiao stepped forward and took a look. The damage to both cars was not significant. He said, "Brother, our car was parked. Your car crashed into us."
The young man, seeing Long Xiao engage, swaggered up to him and said, "Who the hell do you think you are? If I say you hit me, then you hit me. Don't you look at where this is and who is in the car?"
"I know where this is, but I really don't know who is in the car," Long Xiao said with a smile.
The young man reached out to grab Long Xiao, but Long Xiao dodged his hand and said, "Speak nicely, don't start a fight."
"So what if I start a fight? In Haizhou, my eldest sister calls the shots. My eldest sister is the king of Haizhou, the queen!"
Looking at the young man's arrogant demeanor, Long Xiao couldn't help but burst into laughter. "What era are we in? Still talking about the king of Haizhou? Are there still kings in this era?"
In the car, the woman in the red dress's face became increasingly ugly. Her already splotchy face turned even darker.
"You little brat, how dare you talk back to my little brother? Are you looking for death?" The old woman got out of the car and roared at Long Xiao.
Being called a "little brat," Long Xiao became angry. He raised his hand and slapped her, saying, "Watch your mouth when you speak."
"Brother Long, you told me not to hit them, so why did you hit her?" Xiao Ming said indignantly.
Long Xiao sighed and said, "I didn't want to bother with them, but they were too much of a nuisance."
"You're right, Brother Long. Can I hit them now?"
Before Long Xiao could answer, Xiao Ming swung his hand and delivered more than a dozen slaps, turning the young man's fair face into a pig's head.
"Sister, he hit me!" The young man cried, pulling on the old woman's arm and whining coquettishly.
The old woman shook off the young man's arm and said, "This is outrageous! You wait, I'll get people to kill you."
Long Xiao glanced at the old woman and ignored her, saying, "Let's go, we're going to eat."
The four of them entered the restaurant, took a private room, and ordered their food. Before the dishes arrived, the door was kicked open, and more than a dozen burly men armed with long knives stormed in.
The leader, a guy with yellow hair wearing a t-shirt, scanned the room and looked at Long Xiao and his companions. "They hit Sister Long, kill them."
Long Xiao sat there, picked up his teacup, and took a sip, not even looking at the young men who had entered.
Luo Tianshui looked at Xiao Ming, who was sitting near the door. "Xiao Ming, you're closest. You do it."
Xiao Ming nodded, swung his hand, and slapped a thug who was about to attack, then stomped on his leg with a crack.
A series of sharp slaps echoed, and the dozen thugs lay on the floor, beaten by Xiao Ming. He then proceeded to break the legs of each of the thugs.
The diners in the restaurant were stunned. Most people knew who these thugs were, and few dared to provoke them. Now, seeing them with broken legs, everyone felt a sense of satisfaction.
