"People say ordinary folks can't fight officials. How can a rich second generation like him compete with you, an official's kid?" Luo Chao looked puzzled.

"It's not just that his dad's business is too big; it's leading the real estate industry not only in Liuhai but the entire southern Huaxia." Yang Wei sighed helplessly, "He's driving Liuhai's economic development, so my dad told me to avoid provoking that idiot."

"Hey! Yang Wei, I'm talking to you, did you hear me? What are you whispering about with that country bumpkin?" An arrogant voice came again, this time closer, already in front of the group, a nauseating mix of alcohol stench and the strong perfume of women with heavy makeup overwhelmed the senses.

Hu Pei said nonchalantly, "Look at yourself, how can you live up to the name of one of the Four Young Masters of Liuhai? You better announce your withdrawal early." Judging by his demeanor, he seemed to care a lot about this so-called title of the Four Young Masters of Liuhai.

Noticing Luo Chao and the others fixing their gaze on him with unusual expressions, Yang Wei awkwardly explained, "It's a title made up by some bored people, grouping four famous second-generation officials and rich kids in Liuhai and calling them the Four Young Masters of Liuhai. Damn it, I don't want this stupid title at all."

"What? You dare call me an idiot!" Hu Pei, drunk and hazy, heard Yang Wei's words and instantly shouted angrily.

"Pfft!" Luo Chao couldn't hold back his laughter, "In this day and age, I've heard of people wanting to be officials, striving for wealth, but this is the first time I've heard of people scrambling to be idiots."

Luo Chao's words made Hu Pei even angrier, and he finally noticed the young man standing beside Yang Wei. "Bumpkin, do you wanna die? Do you know how rich I am? I can kill you with just a pile of banknotes, bumpkin..."

His flaunting words made Luo Chao laugh even more. Luo Chao could completely affirm that this was a simple-minded guy with no depth, just relying on his parents' money to seek attention.

Hu Pei scanned the group of 'bumpkins' in his eyes and suddenly froze on Tang Yan's face. Releasing the woman he was holding, his lecherous eyes were fixed intently on Tang Yan.

Since the age of fifteen, after his father stopped controlling him, Hu Pei led a dissolute and extravagant lifestyle, immersed daily in a world of women with a bunch of frivolous friends, experiencing countless kinds of women, but never had he been as moved as he was now.

From the very moment he laid eyes on Tang Yan, Hu Pei told himself that he must have her; she was the perfect woman he had been searching for.

A bit stunned, almost out of his soul, he walked towards Tang Yan, "Hello, beautiful. I'm Hu Pei."

The woman who had been held by Hu Pei suddenly encountered this situation and instinctively tugged, "Young Master Hu…"

"Xiaoli, you head back first." Hu Pei dismissively brushed her off without even glancing back. He straightened his white suit, politely said to Tang Yan, "I am the young owner of Qiyue Group, very nice to meet you."

After saying this, he extended his hand, intending to shake hands with Tang Yan as a gesture of friendship.

Tang Yan did not respond to him; instead, she took two steps back, moving slightly away, instinctively leaning towards Luo Chao.

The woman stared angrily at Tang Yan, realizing that Hu Pei had taken a liking to this young woman, and unwillingly said, "Young Master Hu, didn't you say you'd spend the night with me?"

"Get lost! Don't let me see you again from now on." Hu Pei turned around, his face twisted as he shouted.

The woman didn't know her place, not realizing he was busy picking up girls. Hu Pei had already decided to send her far away in the future.

Scolded by Hu Pei, the woman shivered slightly, daring not to say more, fearing truly angering this wealthy second-generation master, whom she had painstakingly attached herself to. She left without saying another word, but not without giving Tang Yan a vicious glance before leaving.

But she didn't know that Hu Pei had already decided to banish her to the 'cold palace,' with no chance of coming across her again.

Seeing the woman leave, Hu Pei smiled and approached once again, "Miss, may I invite you inside for some fun? All the expenses are on me. I'm a top-tier member here."

Tang Yan looked at Hu Pei with disdain. Seeing this, Luo Chao gave Yang Wei a look.

Yang Wei got the hint and quickly said, "Let's go inside, no need to waste words on him." The group intended to leave.

Suddenly, several men clad in black behind Hu Pei quickened their pace and blocked their path.

Yang Wei's face showed a hint of anger, "Hu Pei, what do you want?"

"Nothing, just want to have a little heart-to-heart with this beautiful lady, it's none of your business." Hu Pei said dismissively.

Luo Chao looked at the scene coldly. If he were not considering Yang Wei's connections, worried a beating might cause trouble for Vice Mayor Yang, he would have started a fight already, rather than letting Hu Pei flaunt around with his group here.

"You must be Young Master Hu, right? Look, you can only stop us, not deal with us. My friend won't accompany you either, so standing at the entrance like this is not a solution. How about we play a game to settle this?" Luo Chao suggested a solution.

Hu Pei glanced at the guy who mocked him earlier, and though he was quite annoyed, he didn't want to lose face in front of the beauty, so he held back his anger: "Why should I play a game with you?"

Luo Chao first ignored him and cast an inquisitive glance at Tang Yan.

Tang Yan understood his intention. Trusting Luo Chao, she gently nodded in agreement. She didn't want to encounter such a bothersome issue while out for fun, and it'd be best if Luo Chao could handle it.

Seeing her consent, Luo Chao then smiled, saying, "As long as you win, you can make any request you want."

"Oh!" Hu Pei's eyes lit up. Luo Chao's words made him thrilled, and he glanced at Tang Yan, some thoughts developing in his mind. "What game to play?"

"Anything goes." Luo Chao smiled nonchalantly, confident in himself, "But what if you lose?"

"If I lose, you can make any request of me too." Hu Pei didn't for a second think he'd lose, especially since he could choose the game.

Luo Chao snapped his fingers, "OK! So, what do we play?"

After contemplating, Du Xin's pale face showed a sly smile, "There's an underground boxing ring here in Dynasty Club. How about we bet on a boxing match? Do you dare?"

Luo Chao laughed, laughed joyously, "No problem!"

"Then let's go," Hu Pei, seeming confident of victory, led his group, with Luo Chao and the others following behind.
