In the evening, in front of Emperor International KTV, a Maybach slowly came to a stop.
The luxury car worth tens of millions caught the attention of bystanders.
Lin Hai got out of the car with Fan Jian.
Xiao Jiba had been waiting at the entrance and his eyes brightened when he saw Lin Hai, coming up to him with a fawning expression: "Brother Lin, you've arrived."
Lin Hai nodded slightly.
Fan Jian caught sight of Xiao Jiba, and a flash of fear crossed his eyes.
The notorious reputation of Young Master Xiao was well-known to those like him who struggled at the bottom of society.
Lin Hai pointed to Fan Jian, and said to Xiao Jiba: "This is my brother, Fan Jian."
"Brother Fan, I have long admired your great name. I was blind before and offended you, I ask for your forgiveness," Xiao Jiba said immediately, piling on a smile, humbly.
Fan Jian looked at Lin Hai in astonishment, then back at Xiao Jiba, who wore a pleasant smile, disbelief in his heart.
The usually arrogant Young Master Xiao, who treated him like an insect, was actually calling him Brother Fan!
It was unbelievable!
Quickly, Fan Jian began to understand and looked at Lin Hai with gratitude in his eyes.
At the same time, he was also surprised - just what was Brother Lin's status to command such respect from Young Master Xiao?
The three of them entered the KTV.
The manager of the KTV came forward to meet them enthusiastically, shaking Xiao Jiba's hand, and said, "Ah, Young Master Xiao is here, truly gracing us with your presence. Are you bringing your subordinates for some fun tonight?"
The manager felt he was giving Young Master Xiao tremendous face with his comment.
Based on what he knew of Xiao Jiba, as soon as these words were out, Xiao Jiba would definitely lift his head proudly, perhaps even spending tens of thousands tonight.
Under normal circumstances, in the eyes of the manager, Lin Hai and Fan Jian, standing behind Xiao Jiba, would surely be astute enough to play along and flatter Young Master Xiao.
Lin Hai and Fan Jian appeared casual, observing their surroundings, showing no intent to play along.
"These two idiots, how can they even be subordinates, they surely have no prospects," the manager scorned inwardly.
"Young Master Xiao, are these your new subordinates?" the manager asked respectfully.
Xiao Jiba glanced around uneasily until he confirmed Lin Hai was not upset, then he relaxed.
"Damn it, is this manager blind today? Or is his brain damaged?" Xiao Jiba cursed the manager bitterly in his heart.
"Hello, I'm a friend of Young Master Xiao," Lin Hai said smiling, extending his hand to the manager.
The manager scrutinized Lin Hai's attire, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
A mere little security guard, worthy of shaking my hand?
If it weren't for Young Master Xiao's face, I wouldn't even bother with you.
Of course, the manager thought this but would never say it out loud. He also didn't take Lin Hai's hand.
Lin Hai's hand hung in the air.
At this moment, Xiao Jiba internally cursed, realizing something was wrong.
As for Lin Hai, he didn't mind it and withdrew his hand.
The manager cast a disdainful glance at Lin Hai and Fan Jian, then ignored them.
"Young Master Xiao, haha, this way please. We've prepared the largest presidential suite you requested," the KTV manager said with a smile.
At this moment, the smile on Xiao Jiba's face had disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.
The manager felt puzzled and uneasy, wondering if he'd said something wrong, offending Young Master Xiao?
"The environment here isn't bad, huh? Nice place. Singing a song here must cost a pretty penny, right?" Lin Hai casually looked around and smiled as he spoke to Fan Jian.
Upon hearing this, the manager inwardly sneered at Lin Hai and Fan Jian: "Country bumpkins."
Just as the manager was inwardly sneering at Lin Hai and Fan Jian and was trying hard to tolerate Fan Jian's curious touching of the walls, Xiao Jiba did something that shocked the KTV manager immensely.
Xiao Jiba bowed to Lin Hai with great respect, saying, "Brother Lin, thank you for gracing us with your presence today. I am thrilled beyond words, immensely grateful. Please come this way. The manager is new here, a bit clueless, please don't be angry with him."
The manager fervently cleaned out his ears, surprised as he stared at Young Master Xiao.
Xiao Jiba didn't even give the KTV manager a glance and continued to politely say to Fan Jian, "Brother Fan, this way please. Whatever you want to play today, just go for it, don't worry about the cost. All expenses are on me. Even if you want this KTV, I will buy it for you right away."
The KTV manager was totally shocked, his mind not quite working.
What's going on here? Young Master Xiao, the son of Huadu City's Police Chief, an utterly awesome figure, could crush those little security guards like ants with just a flick of his finger.
And yet, how could he be so respectful to two men dressed in security guard outfits?
"Haha, don't be so polite, let's go," Lin Hai said, very calmly, as he took out a cigarette.
Xiao Jiba immediately acted with lightning speed, holding a lighter with both hands, shielding it as he lit the cigarette for Lin Hai with a flattery-filled expression.
At this moment, the waitstaff present in the KTV and the manager were utterly stunned.
Under the astonished and incredulous gazes of the KTV staff, Xiao Jiba respectfully led the way upstairs.
As they passed by the KTV manager, Xiao Jiba's gloomy voice quietly reached his ears: "Idiot, you're blind. You almost offended my important guest. I'll deal with you later!"
The manager instantly turned pale with fear, sweat breaking on his forehead as he nearly stumbled and fell to the ground. Eyes wide, he watched Lin Hai go upstairs.
It wasn't until then that the manager, even if he was an idiot, finally understood. Lin Hai and Fan Jian were the true low-profile power players. Even Young Master Xiao was so polite to them, weren't they significant figures?
After entering the Emperor International KTV's Presidential Suite, Fan Jian took a deep breath. It was his first time in such a luxurious place; usually, in a singing room, they would sing all afternoon without ordering anything, and it would only cost 25 yuan.
"Brother Xiao, you're here..."
As the people in the suite saw the door open, they immediately came forward, respectfully beginning to speak. Before they could finish, they were shocked to see Lin Hai, their eyes filled with terror, standing rooted to the spot.
Lin Hai also recognized the guy—it was Scar, who he almost beat to death last time.
"This..." Scar pointed his trembling finger at Lin Hai, taking shaky steps backwards, his face full of terror as if he were facing a great enemy.
Xiao Jiba frowned; he knew about the incident last time.
"Scar, have you lost your mind? Don't you hurry up and greet Brother Lin? From now on, you and I both work for Brother Lin," Xiao Jiba shouted.
Scar was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. Previously, Young Master Xiao had mentioned meeting an important guest and said if his group could follow this guest, they would have no problems strutting around Huadu in the future.
Now, he finally realized that this important guest in front of him was none other than Lin Hai, who had instantly taken down his whole gang last time!
Thinking of Lin Hai's terrifying combat power, Bald Scar swallowed hard, his eyes filled with excitement as he respectfully saluted Lin Hai, "Nice to meet you, Brother Lin!"
Lin Hai could clearly see the little schemes in the minds of Xiao Jiba and Bald Scar.
But he simply couldn't be bothered to point it out.
And today, after Fan Jian had suffered a deep blow, this group of people might just be of help to him.
"No worries, no worries. About last time..."
Lin Hai hadn't finished speaking when Bald Scar immediately stepped forward and fiercely slapped himself ten times, saying, "Brother Lin, about last time, it was a mistake on my part for not seeing your true worth, I hope Brother Lin can forgive me just this once."
Lin Hai smiled: "I've long forgotten about last time. You're quite forthright, aren't you?"
Scar broke into an excited smile: "Brother Lin is indeed a great man, broad-minded, I admire you."
The group quickly took their seats, with Scar's subordinates respectfully serving tea and pouring water for Lin Hai and Fan Jian. Fan Jian looked surprised and grateful, his gaze towards Lin Hai filled with admiration and emotion.
"Manager, bring over the best girls you have here, we have an important guest today!" Xiao Jiba yelled out loudly.
Before long, over twenty attractively dressed accompanying girls, dressed to the nines, lined up and walked in.
As Fan Jian opened a bottle of beer, curiously looking at these slender and decent-looking girls, suddenly his gaze froze. He saw the last girl who had just entered and was walking with her head down—wasn't it Qianqian, who had deeply humiliated him during the day?
