"Boss Qiu?"

"Hah... Doctor Zhao, you're so damn amusing. With your status, you think you know Boss Qiu?"

"Stop acting in front of me. I don't believe you at all. I once had the privilege to dine with Boss Qiu. Do you know his status? He's the local emperor. Someone like you, kicked out of the health center, is not even worth a glance from him."

Instead of retreating, Liu Hongfei started mocking wildly, treating Zhao Tienan as little more than a soft target, a disgraced local dog, never once seeing Zhao Tienan as a fellow human.

"You don't believe me?"

"Alright, I won't waste words with you."

"Didn't you have the honor to dine with Boss Qiu? Then you should be able to recognize his voice, right?"

Zhao Tienan smirked, then activated the speakerphone and thrust the phone towards Liu Hongfei.

"Huh?"

Liu Hongfei instinctively raised his eyebrows, then hesitantly took the phone.

"Liu Hongfei, right?"

"Come on, tell me, can you recognize who I am?"

A powerful voice suddenly sounded from the phone, full of authority, commanding respect without anger.

"Th-this, I can recognize it, are you really Boss Qiu?"

Liu Hongfei's arrogance was instantly extinguished, his demeanor drastically lowered, even his speech became submissive, now as docile as a local dog.

The reason was simple, in terms of power and backing, Liu Hongfei was not on the same level as Boss Qiu.

Liu Hongfei was merely a petty thug bullying locals, whereas Boss Qiu was the undisputed ruler of the underworld.

With just a word from Boss Qiu, it was uncertain if Li Hongfei would see the next day's sunrise.

"Good, now that you've recognized me, things will be easier."

"Let me make it clear to you once again, Zhao Tienan is my benefactor. Anyone who opposes him opposes me."

"You have only one day. If you don't handle Doctor Zhao's matters properly, then I'll handle you instead!"

Boss Qiu's voice resonated once more through the phone, not loud, but to Liu Hongfei, it was like a ringing death knell, sending shivers down his spine.

"Ah, right, Boss Qiu, I've been blind and offended a noble man."

"Don't worry, I will definitely handle Zhao Tienan's matters properly. I'll never dare bother him again. Please don't get angry."

Liu Hongfei groveled, like a local dog with a broken spine, his submissive demeanor a stark contrast to his earlier arrogant stance.

"Well, you deal with it!"

"If he doesn't call me to say he doesn't intend to pursue the matter, then I'll pursue you."

"You should know the consequences of offending me. I will not only completely destroy your two mountain goods stores in the town, but also secure you a spot in the crematory at the second funeral home!"

Clack!

A crisp sound, the call ended.

And Liu Hongfei suddenly exhaled deeply, realizing that he was unknowingly drenched in cold sweat...
