On the day of checking out, I made a phone call to thank Bi Zhengxiang.
During my stay in Yanjing, all my food and accommodation expenses were covered by him, and it would have been impolite not to express my gratitude.
Bi Zhengxiang said on the phone, "Young Brother Xiang, you're too kind. I was actually planning to invite you to stay with me for a while after I finish my business these days, so we could have a good chat..."
"Old Master Bi, I'm truly sorry, but I have some matters to attend to. Once they're resolved, I'll be sure to spend some time chatting with you," I replied with a smile.
"Certainly, certainly. Call me anytime you come to Yanjing."
"Alright."
As soon as I hung up, Fatty's dilapidated van slowly drove around the corner.
Behind him was a Crown, and the driver poked his head out and cursed, "What a piece of junk! Can it still drive? If not, don't block the road!"
Fatty, never one to back down from an insult, immediately stopped the van and got out, walking over to the Crown. "Yo! Are you in a hurry to be reborn? I'm not moving, what are you going to do about it?"
The owner of the Crown got out of his car, spewing curses, and looking aggressive, as if he were about to throw a punch.
Seeing this, I quickly walked over, intending to mediate. However, Fatty launched a preemptive strike.
He threw a flurry of wild punches towards the other man's face. The opponent was not to be outdone and immediately started performing monkey fist techniques, leaping and darting around.
"Fatty! Stop fighting!"
I shouted, but he replied, "Boss Xiang, wait a moment. Let me finish this bastard off, and then we'll go!"
Soon, a crowd gathered around, and even the hotel security guards rushed over.
Seeing that Fatty wasn't at a disadvantage, I didn't intervene.
However, at that moment, several Santana sedans appeared from nowhere. Before I could react, many people alighted from them.
These men were burly and powerfully built. Their first action upon getting out of the cars was to charge directly at Fatty!
Sensing trouble, I mentally cursed and quickly rushed forward, grabbing Fatty and pulling him towards the hotel!
However, before we could even enter the main entrance, the two of us were surrounded!
"Trying to run? Damn it!" The Crown owner's face was bruised and swollen, clearly having taken a beating from Fatty.
"Damn it, beat them to a pulp!"
At his command, those men lunged at Fatty and me.
Just as a fierce battle seemed inevitable, a figure appeared before us. Before I could get a clear look, two men were already subdued!
"Gai Bodyguard?!" Fatty exclaimed with joy.
Only then did I realize it was Gai Hongkuang.
Why was he here?
Within minutes, all the men the Crown owner had called were lying on the ground. Even the owner himself stood trembling to the side, "Sir... let's talk this through properly. Which gang are you with? Do you know Brother Kun?"
Gai Hongkuang cast a faint glance at him and said, "I don't know Brother Kun, but have you heard of Master Bi of Erdao Alley?"
The man was taken aback, his face filled with shock. "You're one of Master Bi's men?"
"It's wise of you to recognize that. Hurry up and take your people away," Gai Hongkuang waved his hand.
The man nodded, glanced at Fatty and me, and even managed a grin. Before leaving, he apologized to Fatty and handed us two business cards.
I took one and looked at it. It bore a title: General
