"I am Gao Hu, nicknamed Smiling Tiger."
The stout man, though nervous, spoke with a cultured air.
"Are you the boss here?"
Ye Zixiao lit a cigarette with an imposing gesture.
"Yes, yes, well, not exactly. I just work for the Longding Group. They gave me this place because of my good performance. Mr. Ye, please be kind to me!"
"You know who I am?"
"To be honest, I don't. But the Chairman instructed me never to offend you. You've already fought, and killed, so please calm down!"
The stout man was incredibly humble.
His subservient demeanor wasn't an act.
It stemmed from genuine nervousness.
Those further away couldn't hear clearly, but the people on the sofa could. Seeing the stout man speak so meekly, like a sycophant, Lin Bin and the four top hostesses were stunned!
"Is this a dream? Am I dead?"
Lin Bin couldn't believe his ears.
From his perspective, even his second sister, Lin Qingzhu, couldn't command respect from someone like Gao Pangzi. He was a high-ranking executive of the Longding Group; second-tier families were simply beneath them.
"Oh my god!"
"Did I hear that wrong?"
"Is this... our boss?"
"Heh, I'm drunk!"
The four top hostesses were even more bewildered.
Did any woman working here not know Gao Pangzi? This guy was lecherous and ruthless. He always had a smile, but he was a cold-blooded killer!
Ye Zixiao was here to cause trouble!
And Gao Pangzi was acting like a lickspittle?
"Boss Gao, you're a smart man, and I like that. For your sake, I won't harm your people. Tell them to withdraw, and I'll kill a few more."
Ye Zixiao said this as he stood up.
"This..."
The stout man broke out in a cold sweat.
"What's wrong? You can't?"
"Mr. Ye, with my status, I wouldn't dare stop you. However, killing people in my own establishment would damage my reputation. Moreover, Young Master Qin is a business partner!"
"You mean I can't kill Young Master Qin?"
"It would be best if you didn't."
"Fine, I'll give you face."
Ye Zixiao wasn't actually a killer.
In principle, Young Master Qin had been manipulated by Ma Ya'ai, and he was trapped. He disliked the situation but didn't feel an absolute need to kill him.
Ye Zixiao wasn't afraid of trouble.
But he didn't want to make the Lin family too anxious. Besides, showing off was enough. His brother-in-law had kindly brought him out for drinks, and killing too many people would spoil the mood.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye."
The stout man was very sensible.
He actually didn't know Ye Zixiao's relationship with the Longding Group. Because Ye Zixiao's reputation had recently become so prominent, the cunning stout man had made a perfunctory call to the Chairman.
He absolutely did not expect!
After hearing the situation, the Chairman had only said one thing: "Absolutely do not provoke Ye Zixiao."
"Boss, what's going on?"
Brother Cai looked at Gao Pangzi, dumbfounded.
He had called Gao Pangzi purely to avoid responsibility, without thinking too much about other factors. But now, his boss had arrived, why was he bowing and scraping?
"Retreat!"
Gao Pangzi whispered to Brother Cai.
"Retreat? Leave him?"
"Damn it."
Gao Pangzi leaned close to Brother Cai's ear and said softly, "Ye Zixiao is someone even I can't afford to offend. Don't get involved, tell your men to leave quickly, or you might get killed too."
"Then, what about Young Master Qin?"
"Damn it, forget him."
Gao Pangzi, holding his large belly, turned and fled.
Brother Cai also started sweating. He was someone who lived by his wits, and on his own turf, he never expected Ye Zixiao's status to be so sky-high! He panicked for a moment.
"Manager Gao, don't leave!"
Young Master Qin was flustered. He stepped forward to grab Gao Pangzi, saying anxiously, "What do you mean? I'm being bullied, and you're not going to help me? What, am I not your boss?"
"Young Master Qin, please let go."
Gao Pangzi said with a professional smile.
"Manager Gao, you must kill Ye Zixiao."
"I told you to let go."
"Old Gao, what the hell do you mean?"
"Little Qin, fend for yourself!"
Gao Pangzi pushed Young Master Qin away and strode off with his secretary. He didn't forget to glance back at Brother Cai, his meaning clear: tell him to retreat quickly.
Young Master Qin was completely bewildered!
The Qin family was a first-tier aristocratic family. In Beihai, who dared to disrespect them? More importantly, the Qin family held shares in the group, and Gao Pangzi was essentially working for the Qin family!
Before.
Young Master Qin was like a king here.
Gao Pangzi was extremely respectful to him.
With Ye Zixiao's arrival, everything changed.
Gao Pangzi dared to put on airs?!
"Retreat, everyone go back."
The astute Brother Cai immediately gave the order.
The security team was confused, they couldn't believe this was real. But Gao Pangzi had fled, and Brother Cai was also retreating. These hired muscle wouldn't seek trouble for themselves.
In an instant.
The internal security team rapidly departed.
"Young Master Qin, what's going on?"
"Are you not in charge here anymore?"
"No way, am I dreaming?"
The group of young masters finally erupted.
They had been very panicked, especially since Huang Yu was already dead. But with Gao Pangzi's arrival, they had gained confidence. They never imagined that Gao Pangzi was actually here to be a sycophant!
"Little Qin, aren't you leaving?"
Ye Zixiao looked at Young Master Qin, his legs crossed.
The onlookers who were watching the excitement from a distance moved closer, encircling the group of young masters led by Young Master Qin. Many knew that Young Master Qin seemed destined for trouble today.
"Husband, what should we do?!"
Ma Ya'ai, who had stirred up trouble, was a bit panicked.
"Damn it, it's all your fault."
Young Master Qin slapped her across the face, shouting angrily, "Are you drunk before even drinking? Damn it, this is so disappointing. I'm leaving, I'll go play somewhere else."
Saying that.
Young Master Qin tried to slip away.
"What, leaving already?"
Ye Zixiao suddenly stood up. With a swift movement, he pushed aside two young masters and blocked Young Master Qin's path, saying with a smile, "Trying to show off and getting beaten instead, is that fun?"
"Ye Zixiao, what do you want?"
Young Master Qin started sweating.
His status meant he wasn't afraid of Ye Zixiao.
But Ye Zixiao dared to kill!
"Young Master Qin, right? Are you really so clueless? Why are you trying to show off to me? Don't you know that I'm the 'Suit Thug' who dares to fight even the security forces?"
Ye Zixiao was incredibly boastful.
Young Master Qin was speechless.
Ma Ya'ai couldn't hold back!
"Ye Zixiao, don't get too cocky. Believe me, you're going to die a miserable death. Do you think your current strength is enough to oppose a great family like the Qin family?"
Ma Ya'ai was truly detestable.
She didn't mention the Ma family, but she had cornered Young Master Qin.
"Lin Bin, come here."
Ye Zixiao called out to him.
"Brother-in-law, what is it?"
Lin Bin trotted over eagerly.
"This woman is very annoying, but I don't like hitting women. Beat her up for me. Don't hold back, no matter how big the trouble, your brother-in-law will cover you."
"Ah? Forget it!"
"I told you to hit her."
Ye Zixiao narrowed his eyes.
Lin Bin grinned, thinking to himself, "Damn it, I've already provoked Young Master Qin, this trouble is big enough. Since it's come to this, I can only trust my brother-in-law's strength."
"Bitch, I'll fuck your mom."
Lin Bin lunged directly at Ma Ya'ai.
"What are you doing, ahhh!"
Ma Ya'ai instantly took a punch.
Lin Bin was a dissolute man, a loafer. He had no moral bottom line. While he was cunning in fights, he didn't hesitate to hit women hard.
Slap, slap, slap...
The slaps echoed loudly!
Ma Ya'ai's nose was instantly crooked, and her mouth started bleeding. She tried to hide behind Young Master Qin, but Lin Bin grabbed her hair, kicked her to the ground, and beat her mercilessly.
The scene erupted into chaos once more.
