"Brother Qiang, I took a photo of that kid." A minion approached the leading brother with a cell phone in hand.

The leading brother was taken aback for a moment, then patted the minion on the shoulder, "Well done, nicely done, let Brother Hu take care of that kid today!"

After taking the minion's phone, Brother Qiang sent the photo of Jiang Chen to his own boss and started to dial to make a call.

Dinglingling!

Brother Qiang hadn't finished dialing when an incoming call came through. Brother Qiang saw it was from his own boss and was momentarily stunned, then picked up with surprise, "Brother Hu?"

"Qiangzi, what's the meaning of this photo you sent?!" The voice of Lin Bingrui's underling, Lei Hu, came through the earpiece.

Qiangzi's heart leaped with joy. Was the boss worrying about him? The boss really cared about him!

"Boss, me and the brothers got beaten up by this kid. He also said that even if it were you, Boss, stepping in, he wouldn't stop. Not even the big boss could do anything about it. Boss, this guy is way too arrogant!" Qiangzi began to make up stories about Jiang Chen.

"Arrogant my ass! What did you do?" The roar of Lei Hu came from the earpiece.

Ever since that incident in the bar with Jiang Chen, Lei Hu had been fearful that Jiang Chen would cause trouble. The moment he saw the photo of Jiang Chen on the phone, he was nervous. Could it be that his minion had provoked Jiang Chen again? Now, hearing this, his heart sank even more:

These damn fools! Even the boss stepping in wouldn't work? How did these fools manage to offend Mr. Jiang?

Qiangzi was stunned for a moment, then said with a grievance, "I-I didn't do anything! I just thought the chick with him was hot, so I asked her to have a drink with our brothers, that's all!"

"You fucking want to die! Where are you now?" Lei Hu was completely enraged and cursed outright.

Qiangzi was baffled, his heart skipped a beat. What was happening? Why was the boss... acting cowardly?

"I asked you where you are?" Lei Hu roared again.

"I'm at the Fuli Yun Hotel directly opposite Dingjing University," Qiangzi quickly replied.

"Wait there for me!" Lei Hu shouted and hung up the phone.

Qiangzi, looking at the phone emitting a busy tone, was somewhat dumbfounded. Hearing the boss's tone, it didn't seem like he was coming to avenge him. He suddenly felt unsure; who exactly was that kid?

Lei Hu was in his own turf, having a meeting with a bunch of small-time hooligans. After hanging up, he called out, "Let's go!"

The hooligans were stunned for a moment. Seeing their boss running out in a panic, they thought something had happened, so they quickly called their underlings and followed Lei Hu out.

Wuu wuu... Screech!

Series of harsh braking sounds rang out as dozens of cars stopped in front of the Fuli Yun Hotel. Lei Hu, without looking behind, rushed into the hotel with a panicked expression.

"Boss!"

Qiangzi hurried forward to greet Lei Hu upon his arrival and was momentarily taken aback seeing nearly a hundred henchmen following behind. So many brothers?

Was the boss bringing all the brothers to take revenge for me?

The boss was too good to me! I thought the boss was coming to teach me a lesson just now, but it seems I wronged him!

"Bang!"

Caught up in his thoughts, Qiangzi was suddenly kicked flying by Lei Hu.

Qiangzi was dumbstruck, so were all the henchmen!

What was going on? Did the boss bring us here to beat up Qiangzi?

"Do you fucking want to die? If you want to die, don't fucking drag me into it!" Lei Hu pointed at Qiangzi's nose and roared.

Qiangzi looked at Lei Hu, utterly confused, "Boss, didn't you bring so many brothers to help take revenge for me?"

"What so many brothers? I just brought these dozen or so as the big brother to let them recognize..." Lei Hu said while turning his head to look behind and saw the crowded crowd, pausing himself for a moment.

He had only been focused on securing Jiang Chen's forgiveness the entire way and hadn't noticed that his underlings had actually called for backup to follow them!

"You… Who told you to call for people?" Lei Hu realized and bellowed at his henchmen.

A close associate of Lei Hu whispered, "Boss, wasn't it you who wanted us to come?"

"I asked you to come so you could meet Mr. Jiang and open your eyes, so you won't end up like that bastard Qiangzi, crossing Mr. Jiang's path. Who the hell told you to bring all your little brothers?" roared Lei Hu.

"Mr. Jiang?!"

"The same Mr. Jiang who even our big boss respects?"

"The legendary Mr. Jiang?"

The henchmen were stunned for a moment, then their eyes shone brightly as they looked at Lei Hu.

Qiangzi was completely dumbfounded. Holy shit! Who? Mr. Jiang? Could it be… Holy fuck, did I offend Mr. Jiang?! Did I want to snatch a woman from Mr. Jiang's side?

Thump!

Qiangzi's knees buckled, and he fell to the ground, crying out loud, "Boss, you must save me! I…I didn't know she was with Mr. Jiang. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to trouble his woman, even if you killed me!"

"What?"

"Qiangzi had his eyes on Mr. Jiang's woman?"

"Holy shit! Isn't that like begging for death?"

The gang of little brothers looked at Qiangzi with shock written all over their faces.

"Bang!"

Lei Hu kicked Qiangzi to the ground, bellowing, "What the hell is the point of kneeling to me? Didn't you say that not even the boss could intervene if Mr. Jiang said so? Let me tell you, if Mr. Jiang gets angry, just as you said, not even the boss's coming would matter! You're fucking courting death. Get up and apologize to Mr. Jiang with me right now!"

With another kick to Qiangzi's body, Lei Hu snarled, "Lead the way!"

Qiangzi trembled all over, scrambled to his feet, and dashed upstairs.

"You all follow, since you're here, let's go together. Let Mr. Jiang see the sincerity of our apology. If Mr. Jiang won't forgive Qiangzi, we're all fucking done for!" Lei Hu turned and called out, striding after Qiangzi, as the rest of the henchmen hurriedly followed!

"Brother Hu, it's this private room!" Arriving at the entrance to Jiang Chen and the others' private room, Qiangzi pointed at the room and looked at Lei Hu.

A swarm of little brothers flooded into the second-floor corridor, jamming it to the point of impassability.

"What's going on here?"

"I don't know! It seemed like there was a fight in that room just now!"

"A fight? Are they here for revenge?"

"Should we call the police?"

"Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong!"

The diners in the other private rooms noticed Lei Hu and his group, murmured a few words to each other in hushed tones, and promptly locked their room doors.

In the private room where Jiang Chen was.

"Alright, that's enough eating, let's head back," Jiang Chen said with a light smile as everyone finished their meal.

"Okay, let's go," the others responded. Sun Hao, who was near the door, headed for it first.

As Sun Hao opened the door and was about to step out, he froze upon seeing Lei Hu and Qiangzi by the door. After a quick glance down the corridor, Sun Hao's face went pale with fright.
