When they saw this old man enter, the hall became quiet again.
This old man was different from the four people just now. This old man was the head of the Zhou family. The Zhou family was considered a second-rate family in Jingdu, and the four people who had just begged for mercy at this moment were the heads of third-rate families. It sounded like there was only one level of difference between second-rate and third-rate families, but in reality, there was a huge disparity in this level. If any core member of a second-rate family went to other places, he would be the target of many nobles who would fight to curry favor with him. His power was already enough to spread to many cities.
When such a big shot came here, even the surrounding people who were watching the show had to greet him politely.
And at this moment, when he just ran in, he staggered and prostrated at the feet of Xiao Bing and Yanzhi. He cried bitterly and said, "My son deserved to die. His death is really too good. I have specially come to thank Director Xiao. Thank you for helping me clean up the family."
Everyone's jaws almost dropped in shock. Someone killed his son, and he was actually kneeling here to thank him?
Xiao Bing said in an indifferent tone, "And who are you?"
"I am … I am Zhou Yan's father. My name is Zhou Yuan. I am the head of the Zhou family. I did not expect that my reckless son would actually provoke Miss Yanzhi. This is something I did not know. If I had known, I would definitely cut him into a thousand pieces before I could be satisfied!"
Yanzhi, who was at the side, saw these arrogant big shots wagging their tails and begging for mercy in front of power. She could not help but feel a little disdainful in her heart. These people who were high up in the past were nothing more than relying on their power. Once the power in their hands lost its effect, they were even inferior to ordinary people. They immediately lost their dignity and backbone. But her man was different. These people were simply too far apart compared to her man.
On one hand, Yanzhi despised these people in her heart. On the other hand, she felt proud of this man who was like a hero to her.
"Oh, so it's Zhou Yuan." Xiao Bing held Yanzhi's hand and looked at Zhou Yuan, who was at his feet. He said in a casual tone, "I killed your son. You should want to cut me into pieces. Why are you thanking me?"
"No, no, I don't dare to think that way …" Zhou Yuan said as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "This kind of unfilial son is a scourge even if he's alive. You killed him with your own hands. I'm just worried that it would stain Director Xiao's hands … But now that you've killed him, I can only be grateful to you. How could I want to … I don't even dare to think about it."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "So, I still did a good thing?"
"Yes, yes." Zhou Yuan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he said, "You helped me kill them. I'm grateful to you. From now on, our Zhou Clan is willing to serve you without any hesitation."
Xiao Bing nodded and said faintly, "I'm still very happy that you can be so reasonable. You can leave now."
"Thank you … Thank you, Director Xiao. Thank you, Director Xiao … Thank you, Director Xiao …" Zhou Yuan thanked him repeatedly as he crawled backward on the ground.
Xiao Bing glanced at the other four patriarchs and said, "You can go back too."
"Thank you, Director Xiao. Thank you, Director Xiao."
The four of them saw that even the Zhou Clan was wagging their tails and begging for Xiao Bing. Even the son of the Zhou Clan was dead. Although their son was seriously injured, at least he was still alive. They felt lucky and hurriedly left.
The entire hall was silent. Everyone had clearly seen Xiao Bing's majesty.
After those people left, Xiao Bing smiled and looked around. He smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Everyone, what happened today was all a small accident. I hope you won't take it to heart."
"No, no." A well-known rich man said, "Director Xiao can distinguish between kindness and hatred. We all admire him."
"Yes, Director Xiao's way of doing things is really admirable."
These people kept flattering him. This time, Yanzhi really saw what was called power. The distinguished guests who used to pretend to be masters here were all humble and flattering in front of Xiao Bing at this moment.
Xiao Bing laughed and said, "Thank you for your understanding. We are a place to do business. Peace is naturally the most important thing in business. So what happened just now will definitely not happen often, especially when you come here to support us. You are all our distinguished guests and our God. But I think there should be mutual respect between us. Yanzhi is the boss here and she is also my woman. Apart from the perspective of doing business, I certainly don't want to see my woman being bullied by others. So I hope you can be more considerate and take care of Miss Yanzhi in the future. "
"Of course, of course."
"Yes, Miss Yanzhi is such a good person. It's all that Young Master Zhou's fault. He really deserves to die."
"That's right. If anyone dares to disrespect Miss Yanzhi, I will be the first to agree."
These people began to promise Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing smiled and nodded. He knew that if he stayed here, these people would not be able to enjoy themselves. So he said, "Then I thank you. You can enjoy yourselves here. I'll leave first."
"Director Xiao, take care."
"Director Xiao, it's getting late. You have to take care of yourself."
"Director Xiao, it's getting cold. Remember to keep warm."
"…"
Xiao Bing and Yanzhi returned to the room and asked the staff to bring some food and red wine. Then the two of them ate and drank quietly in the room.
"It's better to eat alone in the room. If we eat outside, we can't stop eating." Xiao Bing said with a smile.
"It's all because of you." Yanzhi rolled her eyes at Xiao Bing. "You've been showing off. But how can these people act naturally when they see you next to them? And I guess that as soon as you and I sit outside, there will immediately be people next to us who will start to flatter us."
"Sigh, sometimes it's like this. In order for you to be safer here in the future, I naturally have to warn all of them. In this way, I can be more at ease. What happened to Young Master Zhou must not happen again in the future. But I think after this incident, it won't happen again."
Yanzhi said, "Brother Xiao Bing, I'm actually not worried about myself. I've been here for so many years. What happened to Young Master Zhou is also rare. It's a very special situation. What I'm really worried about is you … I can also hear about what happened to you here. I know that you have made a lot of enemies, including Kunlun and the Vatican. None of them can be provoked. You must be very careful."
"Don't worry. I know."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "From now on, no one can hurt me, and no one can hurt the people around me … I haven't done anything to the Vatican recently because I have been waiting. Just like when my strength was sealed to the Transforming Strength, I will make a plan before I act!"
Yanzhi said, "I'm so happy that you can think this way. Xiao Bing, this is also where you are different from others. In my eyes, the most terrible person was actually Young Master Xu because he was meticulous and knew how to hide himself. But now I find that you are even more terrible than Young Master Xu. "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Are you praising me or insulting me?"
"Of course I'm praising you." Yanzhi said with a smile, "I'm not saying this because you defeated Young Master Xu."
"Oh?" Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Then you have to tell me how I'm better than him. I like it when people praise me, especially beautiful women. "
Yanzhi said, "Although Young Master Xu is smart, good at hiding and meticulous, he has a weakness after all."
Xiao Bing asked curiously, "What is his weakness?"
"He grew up in a rich and powerful family, so no matter how low-key he was, how courteous he was, or how he tried to win people's hearts, from his point of view, he belonged to the upper class. If he showed a little bit of humility to win others over, it was enough to make others shed tears of gratitude. But his mentality was that of a superior, and his heart was full of pride. He was arrogant in his bones."
"But you are different." Yanzhi looked at Xiao Bing, her eyes sparkling. "You are also proud in your bones, but the two kinds of pride are completely different. You are more confident and more tenacious, while his pride is a kind of arrogance, a feeling that he looks down on the world. No matter how humble he is, he doesn't look up to anyone else. The only person he valued at the beginning was you. But I'm afraid that it's not true that he overestimated you. He underestimated you more or less."
"Yes." Xiao Bing sighed with emotion, "If he didn't underestimate me, how could he lose?"
Yanzhi said with a smile, "It's because although you are proud in your bones, you are more approachable. You are better at thinking from another's point of view, so you are more terrifying than him."
Xiao Bing snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "What you said seems to make sense."
Yanzhi said with a smile, "I'm afraid the Vatican also underestimated you, just like Young Master Xu. If that's the case, I'm afraid they will be defeated by you sooner or later, just like Kunlun."
Xiao Bing suddenly stood up and asked, "Are you full?"
Yanzhi said curiously, "Yes, what do you want?"
Xiao Bing walked over and picked Yanzhi up from the chair. Then he whispered in Yanzhi's ear, "I just said that I like it when a beauty praises me … But I like it even more when a beauty praises me in that aspect."
"Giggle … in which aspect?"
"In that aspect …"
