About half an hour later, Ding Jinghui arrived at the Ling Family.

Chen Xuan looked over. Ding Jinghui was in his fifties, not very tall, just a little over 1.6 meters.

His body was medium build and slightly overweight, making it hard to see where his waist was.

His hair was cut very short, sticking straight up like steel needles.

As soon as he walked in, he shouted loudly, "Old Master Ling, what did you call me over for?"

Chen Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, his voice was very resonant, like he was a small bass speaker.

Old Master Ling stood up with a smile, "Ah Hui, let me introduce you, this is Chen Xuan, Mr. Chen, a distinguished guest of the Ling Family."

Hmm?

Ding Jinghui immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Chen Xuan, "So you're Chen Xuan? And a distinguished guest of the Ling Family!"

"No wonder you had the guts to act so recklessly and injured my men!"

Old Master Ling hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "It's all a misunderstanding, and it also has something to do with my Ling Family."

"I specifically invited you over today to resolve the conflict. Ah Hui, give me some face and have your men withdraw from the store entrance. Let's all be friends in the future."

Hmph!

Ding Jinghui snorted lightly, "Old Master Ling, I can give you that face, but this kid injured my men and even broke one of Ma Liu's fingers."

"If I don't punish him, I won't be able to explain it to my brothers when I go back! I'm also a man of face, I hope Old Master Ling understands."

Old Master Ling gave a dry laugh, "That's easy to solve. The Ling Family will compensate, what do you think?"

Ding Jinghui waved his hand, "Old Master Ling, what does it mean if you pay the compensation? It must be him who compensates for the losses!"

"Also, he must come back with me and apologize in person!"

"This..."

Old Master Ling was a bit troubled, "Ah Hui, you're going too far!"

"To be honest, it was precisely your subordinate Ma Liu who vandalized the store first, which is unreasonable."

Ding Jinghui's face was expressionless, his voice cold as he said, "That has nothing to do with me, but he injured my man, which is a slap in my face."

"He must apologize in person, no room for negotiation! I'm already taking Old Master Ling's face into account and not making it too hard for him. Otherwise, I'd have killed him already!"

Old Master Ling's face grew dark, "Ah Hui, I just said, Mr. Chen is a distinguished guest of the Ling Family."

"If you insist on being at odds with him, you're making things difficult for the Ling Family!"

Ding Jinghui looked unconcerned, "If that's how you want to see it, Old Master Ling, I have no interest in explaining further."

"In short, I've given the Ling Family face. If my demands are not met, I'll have people smash up the store now!"

"I hope Old Master Ling won't interfere. I don't want to stand opposed to the Ling Family."

Though somewhat angry, Old Master Ling couldn't vent it directly.

As one of the four big shots in Jiangbei, Ding Jinghui, also known as Mad Ding, had a reputation for daring to do anything.

If it came to a head, the Ling Family would get nothing out of it, and both sides would suffer.

Among the three top families, though the Ma Family had been wiped out, there was still the Qian Family.

If the Ling Family and Ding Jinghui fought to the death, leaving them severely weakened, the Qian Family would certainly take the opportunity to attack the Ling Family.

If that happened, the Ling Family would be on the brink of destruction.

At the moment, Old Master Ling didn't know what to do, so he turned to look at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan remained unmoved, calmly looking at Ding Jinghui, "So, Hui Ye, you don't intend to settle this amicably with me?"

Haha!

Ding Jinghui sneered contemptuously, "Who do you think you are, to be qualified to sit down and negotiate with me?"

"If it weren't for giving Old Master Ling face today, you wouldn't even have the chance to sit in front of me!"

Old Master Ling was afraid the two would clash, putting him in a difficult position and causing harm to the Ling Family's interests.

He quickly stepped in to mediate, "Let's not create a tense atmosphere. There's really not much of a grudge here; let's sit down calmly and find a solution together, shall we?"

Ding Jinghui rolled his eyes, "Old Master Ling, I've given the necessary face."

"Give this kid half an hour to consider. If I'm not satisfied, I'll have my men smash up the store immediately!"

Having said that, he made a point of calling, "In half an hour, if you haven't heard from me, move in at once!"

Old Master Ling was visibly worried. He had hoped to mediate and resolve the matter harmoniously.

Unexpectedly, this Mad Ding showed no respect at all, insisting on going his own way.

A typical case of not taking Chen Xuan seriously, treating him like an ant, without regard.

"Old Master Ling, it seems your goodwill is not appreciated!" Chen Xuan said with a light smile.

Old Master Ling smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry to show such a spectacle to Mr. Chen. It's Zhao Hongxia's fault; I feel ashamed."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "Old Master Ling has helped me quite a bit in the past, so out of respect for you, I won't escalate things."

"Since Hui Ye has given me half an hour to consider, I'll think it over and respond."

Hmph!

Ding Jinghui snorted lightly, his eyes filled with disdain, and a sinister sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Xuan said nothing more, instead taking out his phone and sending an order to Zhang Zhibao—

Within half an hour, take control of the tutoring center entrance and round up all those causing trouble!

Report back to him at the Ling Family once done!
