In the villa's living room, Gu Changmin shook his head and said, "Let's go to your study! Some things will be very troublesome if they were to be spoken out. I've already wasted my friendship with Tan Xiu for the sake of you and your father. I don't want any more problems to crop up. "
"Brother Chen and Brother Gao are not outsiders. I think it's fine for them to hear it, no?" said Li Haoran lightly. "Today, I, Li Haoran, have lost face in front of them. If this matter were to be spread out later, I would have no place to hide my face."
Gu Changmin's expression turned cold. He angrily stared at Li Haoran for half a minute before he turned around and walked outside.
"Hey, Brother Gu, Brother Gu, what are you doing? Brother Li wants to save his face first, so … well, I and Old Gao will wait for you in the chess room. "The middle-aged man surnamed Li forced a smile and caught up with Gu Changmin, pulling his arm.
Li Haoran's expression slightly changed. Gu Changmin's abnormal attitude made him somewhat incredulous. It must be noted that he and Gu Changmin had known each other for decades, yet this was the first time he saw him acting so abnormal.
Could it be!
Was there really a problem with his attitude?
He …
Did he really help me?
Li Haoran's mind raced and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot. He walked a few steps toward Gu Changmin and forced a smile, "Brother Gu, I didn't mean anything by it. We've known each other for decades, so you should know what kind of temper I have. Today, someone came to my door and I have to bow my head and admit my mistake in my own home. I'm really angry inside! I hope you can forgive me if I offended you. "
The middle-aged man surnamed Gao also opened his mouth, "Brother Gu, tell us what's going on! We're not outsiders, and I don't understand why you acted like … afraid in front of that young man surnamed Tang. In any case, I'm afraid I'll also be like Brother Li if this matter were to happen to me. "
Gu Changmin took a deep breath. He looked at the curious expressions of the three people, as well as Li Zhen's embarrassed expression a few steps away. He sighed softly and returned to the sofa to sit down.
"Tell them to go out!"
Li Haoran immediately waved to all the bodyguards to leave the hall.
Gu Changmin slowly said, "Everyone, you should know the Miao Group in Haiqing Province, right? The Miao Group's Boss, Miao Wentang, is an old friend of mine for many years. You should also know him! "
"Got it!"
"I have!"
"En!"
The three of them nodded, their eyes filled with confusion.
Gu Changmin sighed and said, "Among the two women who followed Tan Xiu just now, I believe you've seen the slightly older one, right?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Gao said, "I've seen her, and I have a deep impression of her. She's the manager of the Everlasting Feast Hall, a slick and slick woman who's very good at management. "
"Yes, it's the Everlasting Feast Hall." Gu Changmin nodded. I don't know how much you know about the Everlasting Feast Hall. "
Li Haoran frowned and said, "Brother Gu, the Everlasting Feast Hall is just an upscale restaurant! Who are we? What's the point of knowing a restaurant? "
Gu Changmin shook his head and said, "If the Everlasting Feast Hall was just an upscale restaurant, I naturally wouldn't have any fear in front of Tang Xiu. I wouldn't have made friends with him. "As a matter of fact, it's fortunate that I'm here today. You don't see any obvious intention of fawning on me. If Old Jin … that is, Jin Xingkui was here, he wouldn't be hoping to befriend me, but flatter and flatter me instead. "
Li Haoran's expression slightly changed and he quickly said, "Brother Gu, tell me about the Everlasting Feast Hall."
"I learned about the situation of the Everlasting Feast Hall from Brother Miao Wentang a few days ago," said Gu Changmin slowly. "I learned that the owner of the Everlasting Feast Hall is Tan Xiu, so I sent some people to investigate it. Although I didn't dare to send people to investigate it in-depth, the little information I got was enough to shock me. "
"The Everlasting Feast Hall's headquarters is in Jingmen Island, which was established decades ago. The restaurant only has branches in Jingmen Island, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and the Imperial Capital. According to the information I got, it also has gold, silver, jewelry, real estate, and luxury jewelry businesses … "
"My ability is limited, and I don't dare to investigate the Everlasting Feast Hall with great fanfare, so I got this information. As for how much business the Everlasting Feast Hall has, I don't know. "
"Brother Gu, just because the Everlasting Feast Hall has a big business, you …" asked Li Haoran.
Gu Changmin waved his hand to interrupt him and lightly said, "Li Haoran, I actually regret it now. I shouldn't have meddled in other people's business."
"Brother Gu …"
Li Haoran opened his mouth.
"You don't need to explain." Gu Changmin shook his head. "Don't you want to know why I acted so strangely? I can tell you directly that your Li Family will be finished if I don't plead for leniency for you tonight. Perhaps tomorrow will be the death anniversary of you and your father. From another point of view, if the three of us didn't happen to come here to play cards tonight, I'm afraid your Li Family would have been massacred tonight. "
Li Haoran abruptly got up and looked at Gu Changmin, asking, "Brother Gu, you're not trying to scare me, are you? We're living in a society ruled by law now. Those rich and powerful people may be able to solve it by killing one or two people. But slaughtering an entire family is simply a joke, no? "
Gu Changmin coldly looked at him and coldly snorted, "You're just ignorant. If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you. "
Having said that!
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number. After it was picked up, he directly put it on speaker and said, "Old Jin, it's Gu Changmin."
"Brother Gu, you haven't rested yet?"
Jin Xingkui's cheerful voice came out of the phone.
"Old Jin, not only did I not sleep, but I also made a losing deal," said Gu Changmin.
"What happened?" Jin Xingkui was confused. "Tell me. Do you want me to help you with something? "
"It's me, Old Jin. I'm with Li Haoran now," said Gu Changmin with a forced smile. "I'll ask you a few questions. You just need to answer them, and you'll help me a lot. I don't want to use my relationship with Tang Xiu and end up in a situation where I'm in a bad position. "
"Alright! Tell me … wait a minute. What did you just say? You used up your relationship with Tan Xiu? We had to put on a smiling face in the Everlasting Feast Hall, and it wasn't easy to get it back? "Jin Xingkui's exclamation came out of the phone.
"Yes!"
Replied Gu Changmin bitterly.
Jin Xingkui was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Brother Gu, I don't know what you're going to say has anything to do with Tan Xiu. But I can tell you that unless it's a matter of life and death for our family, using up our relationship with Tan Xiu will be a big loss. Alright, tell me! What's the matter? "
"I came to the Li Family tonight by a freak combination of factors. As a result, I bumped into Tan Xiu who came to ask for an explanation. Li Zhen provoked Tan Xiu, and the enmity between them seems to be very deep. I believe you also know how protective Li Haoran is. I'm afraid that he also provoked Tan Xiu's dissatisfaction. Therefore, I came forward to plead for leniency, and this matter was resolved. "
Jin Xingkui was silent for a while before he lightly said, "His Li Family was lucky today and avoided a bloody disaster. In my opinion, if it weren't for you tonight, even if the Li Family had to spend all their assets, it would be good enough for them to keep their lives. As for Tan Xiu … hehe, anyone can be provoked in this world, but not that fiend! "
Li Haoran couldn't sit still. He didn't expect that Jin Xingkui would say such words, so he quickly said, "Brother Jin, I'm Li Haoran. Can you tell me who Tan Xiu is? Does he really have such a powerful background behind him? "
"His background?" Jin Xingkui sneered. "Hehe … he doesn't need any background. Just the Everlasting Feast Hall's Boss can easily destroy your Li Family. Let alone your Li Family, my Jin Family, and Brother Gu, even if the three of us join forces, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything to the Everlasting Feast Hall. There's a 99% chance that all three of us will be exterminated. "
"Brother Jin, aren't you just being an alarmist?" Li Haoran asked in horror.
"Hehe … do you think I'm an alarmist?" Jin Xingkui sneered. "Hehe … do you think I'm an alarmist?"
"This …"
Li Haoran's complexion turned a bit pale.
"Li Haoran, to tell you the truth, you owe Brother Gu a huge favor," said Jin Xingkui. "This favor is so big that it won't be an exaggeration to ask your Li Family to pay it back in the future. Alright, I've said everything I need to say. You're on your own now. "
The call ended.
"Now do you know why I asked you to apologize to Tan Xiu?" Gu Changmin said lightly. "It's because I, an outsider, personally hit your son in front of you? If I didn't hit him, he would've died tonight. Do you dare to intervene? If you intervene, your Li Family will be wiped out. You don't know how terrifying the Everlasting Feast Hall is. To be honest, even I don't know much about it. But my old friend, Miao Wentang, knows it, and so does Jin Xingkui. "
Li Haoran abruptly got up and strode toward the shocked Li Zhen. He fiercely slapped him a few times and angrily shouted, "Go to the study room and kneel! See how I'll deal with you!"
Li Zhen was trembling with fear as he covered his face and quickly ran toward the study room. If it were in the past, he might have gone against his father. But what happened tonight, as well as several powerful big shots in Shanghai who were terrified of Tan Xiu, made him realize that he had provoked a terrifying existence.
Li Haoran returned to the sofa, but he didn't sit down. Instead, he looked deeply at Gu Changmin and said, "Brother Gu, I, Li Haoran, will always remember today's kindness. You're a magnanimous man, so please don't lower yourself to my level for what I just did. If you need anything in the future, just say it. As long as I, Li Haoran, can do it, I'll do it without hesitation. "
Gu Changmin's expression eased a lot and he sighed, "Brother Li, if it weren't for our decades of friendship, I wouldn't have said anything more tonight. Had it been someone else, I might have hit Tang Xiu when he was down in order to express my goodwill. We're old friends, so I won't speak empty words with you. I kind of regret coming to your Li Family tonight! "
