Previously, it had been a fight between a group of students and an adult man, so although the timid ones had run away, the more daring customers had stayed to watch the show. But now, when a group of menacing, cold, and fierce men in suits barged in and surrounded Xiao Zheng, all the customers in the restaurant had basically run away, leaving only a group of bewildered waiters hiding in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound.
They could tell that the group of men in suits who came later were gangsters, and they were all famous big shots. If they were really ruthless, they might kill someone. Of course, the waiters didn't dare to get involved, for fear of getting burned.
On the other hand, Xiao Zheng, surrounded by the crowd, had an indifferent expression. Even when faced with the verbal threats of the Zhao family's boss, Chen Chong, he was unmoved and even coldly retorted. It was clear that he didn't think much of Chen Chong and the others.
"Brat! Do you think that you can do whatever you want with Ye Shiguan's protection? "Chen Chong took two steps forward and confronted Xiao Zheng. "Let me tell you, no matter how rich and powerful Ye Shiguan is, the pearl is still the Zhao family's. He has no right to speak!"
Xiao Zheng said calmly, "You should know that I have already broken off relations with Ye Shiguan. If you want to do anything to me, you don't need to care about his face, and you don't need to worry about his revenge. "
Chen Chong saw that not only did he not use Ye Shiguan's name to scare others, but he even publicly announced his disagreement with Ye Shiguan. His eyes narrowed, and his expression turned cold. "So you don't intend to take responsibility for this matter?"
"What matter?" Xiao Zheng asked slowly.
"Li Zhuang is Mubai's nephew, which makes him my nephew. You hit him, but don't you intend to do anything? "Chen Chong was already making his final preparations.
"You've misunderstood. I didn't hit him. I was just defending myself. "Xiao Zheng put out his cigarette and narrowed his eyes. "If I wanted to hit him, you wouldn't be able to see him one last time."
"Insolence!" Chen Chong grunted and suddenly swung his arm at Xiao Zheng.
However, before Xiao Zheng could retaliate, Li Mubai, who was standing to the side, stopped Chen Chong and advised, "Big Brother, let's talk this out."
"Talk what out?" Chen Chong was furious. "He's still so arrogant after hitting Li Zhuang. If I don't kill him today, how can the Zhao family establish their dominance in the pearl?"
"But godfather clearly said —" Li Mubai's eyes flashed as he said in a low voice. "None of us can do anything to of of him."
"That's a different matter!" Chen Chong said unhappily. "I don't care about what happened before, but this time he beat up Li Zhuang. I can't just ignore it!"
Li Mubai shook his head with a complicated expression: "Doing this is always against the will of the old man. I am afraid that if he knows it, he will be unhappy."
"What, are you afraid?" Chen Chong said through clenched teeth.
Li Mubai's face was full of embarrassment, and his eyes also showed a contradictory expression. He seemed to be in a deadlock.
Of Chen. of. of of of of of Li Chen of it of it of it. of it of it of of of Chen of of the most.
Today, his nephew was beaten up. If he did not do anything about it, how could he lead others in the future?
After pondering for a moment, Li Mubai turned around slightly and stared straight at Xiao Zheng. He said calmly, "Mister Xiao, I don't want to go against you, nor do I want to make things difficult for you. But you hit my nephew. You must give me an explanation for this. "
"How should I explain it?" Xiao Zheng asked expressionlessly.
He knew neither Chen Chong nor Li Mubai. After all, when he was in the underworld, although he had some fame, his level was too low. He did not have the opportunity to interact with the four great generals of the Zhao family. But with Mister Zhao's reminder, he understood the situation of the Zhao family and the character of the Zhao family's godson. Chen Chong was impetuous and fierce. He had a high position in the underworld, but he was brave but not astute. Li Mubai was a scheming strategist that was difficult to see through. He was also very ambitious and dangerous.
He was not afraid of Chen Chong, but he had to be careful with Li Mubai. After all, a hypocrite with a honeyed mouth and a heart full of benevolence and morality was the scariest enemy in the world.
"The old man told us not to make things difficult for you. As a son, of course, we can't go against the old man's wishes. But now, the one you hit is my nephew, and I am his only relative in this world. Don't you think I should do something about it? After all, besides being the old man's godson, I also have another identity. I am Li Zhuang's uncle. Li Mubai's tone was calm, but his attitude was clear and his position was firm.
"Uncle Li, it was indeed Li Zhuang who started the fight today. My brother-in-law was just protecting himself." Lin Xiaozhu jumped out and explained anxiously.
There were nearly twenty vicious underworld gangsters and the two most powerful godson of the Zhao family. No matter how confident she was in Xiao Zheng's ability, she could not help but worry for Xiao Zheng. After all, the other side was a group of gangsters who killed without batting an eye. If they really fought, it was inevitable that both sides would be injured, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
"It doesn't matter whether it's self-protection or not." Li Mubai asked Lin Xiaozhu with a calm look. "If it was you who provoked me, I wouldn't do anything to you, no matter how much you did. This is my principle, and it is also the tolerance that I should have as an elder. "
Beautiful!
Xiao Zheng sighed in his heart. No wonder Mister Zhao had such a high evaluation of him. He was indeed a quick-witted old man. It was obviously Li Zhuang who was in the wrong first and tried to kill him. How did it become him bullying the young? Moreover, you can be Lin Xiaozhu's elder, but I can only be Li Zhuang's brother. What kind of elder is this?
Lin Xiaozhu pouted and turned back to Xiao Zheng, who was depressed but had a tough face, and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, don't force yourself. Just lower your head and apologize. Anyway, they didn't say anything to you. Why do you have to make a big fuss? "
Xiao Zheng sullenly lit a cigarette, lowered his head and said to Lin Xiaozhu, "I, your brother-in-law, have never lowered my head in my life. I have always killed Gods and Buddhas in my way — "After a short pause, he said again. "Today, for your sake, I'll let it go. I'll go against my principles for once."
Then, he spat out a mouthful of smoke, smiled at Li Mubai and said, "Okay, this time it's my fault. I'll set up two tables to apologize. Is that okay? "
Li Mubai nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "I knew Mr. Xiao wasn't such an unreasonable person."
"You hit someone, and you use your mouth to say sorry!?" Chen Chong shouted angrily. "Xiao Zheng, do you really think my Zhao family is easy to bully?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but frown, and said impatiently, "What else do you want?"
Apologizing was already the biggest concession he could make. If Lin Xiaozhu wasn't here, he was afraid that he might accidentally hurt her. Xiao Zheng didn't mind fighting with these hooligans at all.
Li Mubai wanted to stop Chen Chong, but he was pushed away. He shouted at Xiao Zheng, "Forget about two tables of wine. My Zhao family doesn't lack money. As long as you kowtow and apologize to Li Zhuang, this matter will be written off! "
"Kowtow and apologize?" Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and asked coldly. "Are you crazy, or did I hear you wrong?"
"You don't want to?" Li Zhuang asked with a cold face.
"Nonsense." Xiao Zheng said with contempt. "I, Xiao Zheng, have never kowtowed to my parents in my life. Kowtowing to that little bastard, aren't you afraid that his life will be shortened?"
Li Mubai saw the tension between the two was getting stronger, and was about to step forward to smooth things over when he heard Lin Xiaozhu scream, "Brother-in-law, be careful!"
