The finishing touches were being made in an orderly fashion, and Long Xiao approached Luan Jiping.
Luan Jiping couldn't suppress her emotions and stepped forward to embrace Long Xiao, her eyes red. "I thought I would never see you again," she said.
Feeling her soft warmth, Long Xiao patted Luan Jiping's back. "Sister, I, Long Xiao, am an unkillable cockroach. I'll be fine."
After embracing for dozens of seconds, Luan Jiping, blushing, released Long Xiao and looked at Qian Yun lying on the ground. "Qian Yun, that bastard dared to hurt my brother, I'll kill him."
Long Xiao quickly stopped Luan Jiping, who was about to make a move. "Sister, there are things we still need to ask him. Let him live a few more days."
Qian Yun was severely injured and unconscious. Long Xiao and Luan Jiping arranged for a car to take him and the other injured to the hospital. They also informed Lu Tianxing that this person was very important and needed to be specially guarded.
It was already noon by the time everyone returned to the city. As soon as the car entered the city, Xue Meiqin, who was in the same car as Long Xiao and the others, loudly demanded to go for a big meal.
"Boss, everyone is tired today, you should reward us and treat us to a meal," Xue Meiqin shouted.
Long Xiao looked at Xue Meiqin, who had a bandage on her arm, and agreed to her request.
This time, Xue Meiqin had exerted herself greatly and sustained a minor injury. Long Xiao wanted her to go to the hospital, but she refused, only allowing her wound to be stitched and bandaged in the ambulance.
Long Xiao had confidence in the healing pills he had refined, so he didn't insist on her going to the hospital.
"A big meal is fine, but no alcohol," Long Xiao said, pointing to Xue Meiqin's arm.
"As the boss commands," Xue Meiqin replied with a smile.
Luan Jiping, sitting next to Xue Meiqin, saw their cheerful expressions and felt a pang of sourness in her heart.
"It's just a meal, what are you so happy about?"
Seeing Luan Jiping unhappy, Xue Meiqin quickly said, "Sister, you don't know how stingy my boss is. Not only does he not pay me, but he also doesn't feed me well usually. If I have a chance to fleece him, of course, I won't pass it up."
"Are you complaining about me? Don't you usually cook what you want to eat? And you say you're not fed well."
"I didn't buy the groceries."
"Alright, from now on, you're not a nurse anymore. You'll be in charge of buying groceries and cooking..."
Before Long Xiao could finish speaking, Xue Meiqin's pretty face fell, and she cried out, "Sister, look, your brother is bullying me."
Xue Meiqin hugged Luan Jiping's arm and shook it vigorously. Seeing Xue Meiqin's affectionate behavior, Luan Jiping's jealousy subsided.
Several cars parked in the East Sea Grand Hotel's parking lot. Luo Tianshui and Bao Tie went in first to reserve a private room, while the others gradually entered the lobby.
"Are you blind? How dare you bump into me!"
Just as Zhang Eryong reached the entrance, he accidentally brushed against the arm of an old woman who was just coming out.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry," Zhang Eryong quickly apologized, not wanting to cause trouble for Long Xiao.
Seeing Zhang Eryong apologize, the old woman, unwilling to let the matter go, shouted, "Damn it, is an apology useful? If you don't pay me today, you're not leaving the East Sea Grand Hotel."
This was clearly an extortion attempt, and Zhang Eryong refused. "You're extorting me, aren't you? I didn't even damage you."
"I am extorting you, so what? You dare to challenge me? I'll have you killed."
Long Xiao, who had already entered the lobby, looked back at Zhang Eryong. "Sister, you all go up first. I'll wait for Eryong."
Luan Jiping looked at the arrogant old woman. "How about I go handle it?"
Long Xiao waved his hand. "Sister, you're all tired. Go up and rest for a while. I'll wait for him."
The East Sea Grand Hotel was an industry of the Ji family. Long Xiao knew he wouldn't be at a disadvantage here, so Luan Jiping didn't insist and took the others to the elevator to go upstairs.
Long Xiao sat on the sofa in the lobby and watched Zhang Eryong exchange a few words with the old woman. He then called out, "Eryong, let's go."
As Zhang Eryong was about to leave, the old woman grabbed his arm. "You want to leave? Not so easily."
Zhang Eryong shook off the old woman, who lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thump.
"Son, hurry up! Someone beat up your mother!" the old woman cried loudly, sitting on the ground.
The elevator door opened, and a middle-aged man in an expensive suit with a dark complexion walked out, followed by four women dressed provocatively.
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly when he saw the old woman sitting on the ground, and he looked at Zhang Eryong.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you bully my mother, Lin Xunfei!" the middle-aged man strode up to the old woman and yelled at Zhang Eryong.
Judging by his foul language, he wasn't someone who would reason. Zhang Eryong glanced dismissively at the mother and son and turned to leave, but Lin Xunfei grabbed him by the collar.
Zhang Eryong looked at Long Xiao. Since Long Xiao was here and hadn't spoken yet, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Long Xiao stood up and came behind Lin Xunfei. "Let go of my brother. I'll handle this."
Lin Xunfei turned to look at Long Xiao. Seeing that Long Xiao was dressed in ordinary clothes worth only three to four hundred yuan, he showed a look of disdain on his face.
"You'll handle it? He hit my mother, how will you handle it?"
Long Xiao raised his hand and slapped the old woman. "This is how I'll handle it."
The old woman, enraged, roared and lunged at Long Xiao, who kicked her over with a swift movement. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"See if that's handled properly?" Long Xiao asked with a smile.
Lin Xunfei knew that any further physical confrontation would put him at a disadvantage. He quickly said, "Mom, don't move. I'll call someone to deal with him."
Lin Xunfei took out his phone to make a call. Long Xiao gestured to Zhang Eryong, "You go up and eat."
Zhang Eryong walked towards the elevator. Lin Xunfei watched but didn't dare to stop him, afraid that Long Xiao would slap him again.
The people Lin Xunfei called arrived quickly. Less than fifteen minutes after he hung up the phone, a Hummer and several off-road vehicles pulled up in front of the East Sea Grand Hotel.
Lin Xunfei was stunned when he saw the cars arrive. He didn't have much influence with Brother Leopard of Nancheng; he only paid millions in protection fees annually, which was why Brother Leopard of Nancheng would always send people or handle things himself when trouble arose.
The Hummer door opened, and after Brother Leopard of Nancheng got out, Brother Hu of Xicheng, Dog Jiang of Beicheng, and Overlord Long of Dongcheng also alighted from their vehicles.
Lin Xunfei, sensing the unusual atmosphere, rushed forward to greet Brother Leopard of Nancheng.
"Brother Leopard, why have you brought so many brothers today?" Lin Xunfei asked, looking at the people who were successively alighting from the off-road vehicles behind.
Brother Leopard of Nancheng glared at Lin Xunfei. "Don't flatter yourself. You think we're here specifically to handle your affairs? We're here to eat, and we happened to meet you."
Lin Xunfei looked at the three men beside Brother Leopard. None of them seemed like Brother Leopard's subordinates.
"Brother Leopard, I'm truly sorry for disturbing your meal. This meal is on me, but..."
"It's just a trivial matter of someone hitting your mother, isn't it? Don't worry, I'll handle it for you," Brother Leopard of Nancheng said with a displeased look at Lin Xunfei.
"Thank you, Brother Leopard, thank you, Brother Leopard," Lin Xunfei said, bowing repeatedly.
Lin Xunfei, full of bravado, accompanied Brother Leopard of Nancheng into the East Sea Grand Hotel. The four men were stunned when they saw Long Xiao. They hadn't expected Long Xiao to be there alone.
"Brother Leopard, it's this little punk who bullied me and my mother!" Lin Xunfei pointed at Long Xiao and shouted.
With Brother Leopard around, Lin Xunfei felt emboldened. In his eyes, Brother Leopard of Nancheng was supreme, capable of crushing anyone.
As soon as Lin Xunfei finished speaking, a loud slap landed on his face.
With a crisp sound, Lin Xunfei was completely stunned.
"Brother Leopard, you've hit the wrong person, it's this kid!" Lin Xunfei said, covering his face with one hand and pointing at Long Xiao with the other.
