Taking a deep breath, Zheng Cun hesitated as he looked at the low-key quadrangle courtyard before him.

Sensing Zheng Cun's hesitation, Qi Xiaolu standing beside him slightly furrowed her brows, "Honey, what are you hesitating about now, let's go in! The sooner we tell godfather about it, the sooner we can deal with Hu Xiaobei, that piece of crap!"

Hearing Qi Xiaolu's urging, Zheng Cun took another deep breath and opened his slightly hoarse voice, "But… but once we go in, there's no turning back."

Hearing Zheng Cun hesitantly speak, Qi Xiaolu quickly said, "Honey, what are you talking about! You have no way out now. Do you still think Hu Xiaobei will forgive you? Think clearly, godfather is now our only lifeline. If you don't seize it, then your life is completely over. Do you still want to continue living that poor, destitute life?"

Hearing Qi Xiaolu mention the poor days made Zheng Cun's complexion change…

He knew he could no longer live those poor days of tightening his belt…

Thinking this, he gritted his teeth, "You're right! We have no way out now! Let's go!"

With that said, Zheng Cun quickly walked forward.

Just now, Zheng Cun hesitated because he knew his godfather was also not a good man.

So cooperating with him now was like seeking skin from a tiger.

However, he had no choice but to cooperate with him now because it was the only way out…

After entering the quadrangle courtyard, Zheng Cun calmly looked around…

Soon, he glanced at a gazebo not far away, decorated with sculpted beams and painted rafters.

In the gazebo covered with wisteria, a bald elder was sitting there, drinking tea…

At this time, he looked smiling, but Zheng Cun couldn't help trembling.

Because Zheng Cun knew this was definitely a man who could kill without blinking…

"Xiaocun, you've come!"

"Godfather, I've come!"

As he responded, Zheng Cun rushed over and picked up the red purple sand pot, beginning to pour water for him.

Pleased with Zheng Cun's attitude, the bald man smiled kindly and said, "Hmm, how about that matter we discussed earlier? Are you willing to completely turn against Hu Xiaobei? Are you willing to follow me?"

Hearing him get straight to the point with his questions, Zheng Cun put down the purple sand pot and respectfully said, "Godfather, I've thought it through, I'm very willing! But now, it's not up to me anymore since Hu Xiaobei has arrived and also drove me out. Now, I'm no longer the head of Xiaobei Brand in Sanfeng City!"

"Oh? You mentioned that Hu Xiaobei has come to our Sanfeng City?"

"Yes! He's come, and just now, he hit me in the face."

Hearing Zheng Cun's resentful words, he lightly touched the teacup in his hand, "That means he didn't give me face! Xiaocun, what are you thinking now?"

"I want godfather to take the lead for me. After this matter, I will absolutely follow your lead. Whichever way you ask me to go, I will never go the opposite."

Knowing he wanted him to make a statement, Zheng Cun gritted his teeth and spoke seriously…

The bald man laughed upon hearing Zheng Cun's commitment…

He knew Zheng Cun had some capabilities, so he had always wanted Zheng Cun to be his subordinate, but had never succeeded before!

Now, it had worked, and he was happy…

"Have you thought it through? I'm telling you, if you follow me, there's no backing out, or else, you know the consequences!"

"Yes! I've thought it through!"

Gritting his teeth, Zheng Cun quickly spoke…

Zheng Cun knew there was completely no turning back now, so he had no plans of looking back…

"Since you've thought it through, then that's settled! I've wanted a good time to meet this Hu Xiaobei. Now that I have the chance, I naturally won't let it go."

Hearing these cool words, Zheng Cun's eyes suddenly brightened, "Godfather, when shall we go?"

Sensing Zheng Cun's eagerness, he waved his hand, "No need to rush, let's make it tomorrow, I'll have a good talk with him. Then, I'll make him realize that in Sanfeng City, who exactly is the true king."

"Great!"

Thinking of this bald man's strength, Zheng Cun laughed excitedly…

…

Hu Xiaobei was unaware that Zheng Cun had found himself a powerful backer, standing at his shop's entrance, watching the people getting ready to queue…

Seeing everyone in high spirits, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "Everyone, no need to worry, today I'm opening up supply, everyone will be able to buy, and the price is the same as other places."

"Great!"

"Long live Master Xiaobei!"

Hearing everyone's enthusiastic shouts, Hu Xiaobei smiled!

Shortly after, Hu Xiaobei turned to glance.

After seeing that the shop was completely ready, Hu Xiaobei stepped away.

After Hu Xiaobei left, everyone began to shop inside...

Watching the shop get lively, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei began investigating matters concerning Zheng Cun…

After the investigation, Hu Xiaobei learned that Zheng Cun had a godfather named Gu Tong, a very notorious figure in the Dark World of Sanfeng City.

"Previously, he dared to make bold claims in front of me because he had Gu Tong backing him up!"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei sneered...

Hu Xiaobei knew how terrifying his own power had become, so he truly didn't take that damn Gu Tong seriously. As long as Gu Tong dared to stand up for Zheng Cun, Hu Xiaobei would teach him a lesson.

...

In the bustling district of Sanfeng City, after settling all his affairs, Hu Xiaobei wandered around alone...

Suddenly, he caught a whiff of a rich floral scent...

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw a quaint flower shop not far away.

"Flowers seem to be quite popular now; maybe I could grow some on the mountain!"

Seeing the busy state of the flower shop, Hu Xiaobei suddenly thought about planting flowers on the mountain...

Hu Xiaobei knew that to maximize the influence of his Xiaobei Brand, he needed to diversify his industries.

His vegetables and fruits were already hard to expand further, so he must develop new ventures.

Growing flowers was really appropriate...

Thinking so, Hu Xiaobei went straight into the not-so-large flower shop.

...

"Hello, welcome! What would you like?"

Hearing such a soft inquiry, Hu Xiaobei turned his head and saw a cute girl in a pleated skirt smiling radiantly at him.

"You are even more beautiful than the flowers!"

Admiring her, Hu Xiaobei quietly said, "Don't mind me, I'm just looking around."

After saying this, he admired her again.

Because she truly was beautiful!

"Alright, I'll be on the side. If you need anything, just call me!"

"Okay!"

Agreeing, Hu Xiaobei looked at the flowers here and found they were really well taken care of...

"It seems the people here really know how to care for flowers!"

While he was admiring, a man stumbled in from outside, running in a distraught manner.

"Daughter, daughter, you must help me, you must!"

"Dad, what... what happened to you?"

Hu Xiaobei was quite surprised when the girl who had just spoken to him walked over, looking very concerned!

Looking at the cute girl, he quickly said, "I... I'm being chased, hurry, give me money, give me money. Give me money."

Hearing his urgent request for money, the girl hesitated, "Dad, didn't I just give you three thousand yesterday?"

"How could that be enough! Hurry up, give me the money! Do you really want me to die?"

"But... but where would I get more money?"

"I don't care, just give it to me! Otherwise, those people will surely kill me!"

"Them? Dad, have... have you been gambling again? Didn't you promise me and my late mother that you would never gamble again?"

"I... I gambled because I want you to have a good life! Who knew I would lose again!"

"You... you really gambled again, you forgot the promise you made in front of my mother's tombstone!"

"Don't waste time! Hurry up and give me the money, they are coming after me."

"You... how much do you need?"

"Three hundred thousand!"

Hearing this astronomical number, the girl was dumbfounded!

"Three hundred thousand? Where... where would I get three hundred thousand for you!"

Hearing her desperate voice, he burst into a harsh scold, "You are useless, owning such a big flower shop and you can't come up with three hundred thousand? Do you really want to see your dad die?"

"I don't have it! Dad, you ask me for money every day, I don't have three hundred thousand now!"

"Then sell the flower shop, just hurry up and give me three hundred thousand!"

"But if we sell the flower shop, what will we do later?"

"I don't care about that, I..."

He couldn't finish speaking, because, at that moment, several more people walked in from outside. The one at the forefront was a man holding a golf club...

"Hey, I gave you the time, have you gathered the money?"

Hearing this chilling inquiry, the middle-aged man's complexion changed slightly, quickly he said in an ingratiating tone:

"I'll have it gathered very soon, very soon!"

After saying this, he looked at his daughter and hysterically shouted, "Hurry up and figure something out, do you want to see me die?"
