Seeing Zheng Cun's reverent demeanor, Hu Xiaobei knew the smiling elder must be his godfather, Gu Tong...

"He really looks kind, seems he's whitewashed himself thoroughly!"

As Hu Xiaobei was muttering to himself, all the customers queuing downstairs caught sight of the elder, and instantly, everyone fell silent.

Because they all recognized this old man as Gu Tong...

Regarding Gu Tong, they understood two aspects.

On one hand, Gu Tong was genuinely kind.

He sponsored the impoverished, showed filial piety to the lonely elderly, and was one of the greatest philanthropists in Sanfeng City.

On the other hand, they'd also heard that Gu Tong was a bigshot in the Dark World, who could kill without batting an eye!

They knew they couldn't afford to provoke him on either count, so no one dared to speak up...

Seeing everyone step back, Gu Tong flashed a faint smile. Soon, he looked at several of Hu Xiaobei's employees and said softly, "Everyone, don't be nervous. I came here looking for Hu Xiaobei. Someone, please let him know!"

"Yes! I'll go find Master Xiaobei right away!"

Hearing Gu Tong speak kindly, one of Hu Xiaobei's subordinates agreed and prepared to notify Hu Xiaobei.

But as he was about to step away, he heard a lighthearted voice.

"There's no need to look for me, I'm here!"

With those words, everyone turned their heads to look at Hu Xiaobei...

In an instant, almost all the customers began to worry for Hu Xiaobei, they knew Gu Tong wouldn't show up without good reason, which likely meant danger for Hu Xiaobei...

...

"You're out, huh! I thought you'd be cowering like a turtle!"

Zheng Cun sneered inwardly as he looked at Hu Xiaobei.

At the same time, a bare hint of murderous intent flickered in his eyes!

Qi Xiaolu noticed that he was staring viciously at Hu Xiaobei and walked over, "Honey, don't be too dramatic. Let godfather handle it."

"Right! I know!"

Agreeing, Zheng Cun concealed the raw murderous intent. He then turned to look at Gu Tong...

He knew Qi Xiaolu's warning was well-founded. Now, as Gu Tong's underling, he really couldn't be too overt, or it would displease Gu Tong...

"So you're Master Xiaobei! I've heard of your great reputation before, and I admire you. Now that I've come to pay a visit, you surely don't mind!"

"If you're just here for a visit, naturally I don't mind! But if you're here to stand up for someone, then I might take issue."

Hu Xiaobei responded, giving Zheng Cun a piercing look...

Though he had concealed his murderous intent, Hu Xiaobei could still feel it very clearly.

So, Hu Xiaobei knew that Zheng Cun absolutely still wanted him dead!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Gu Tong was momentarily taken aback, then said, "Stand up for him? Oh, you mean the little misunderstanding between you and Zheng Cun! Well, let's put those things in the past. How about I mediate for you both here, and you just shake hands and make peace!"

"Godfather..."

Sensing Zheng Cun's urgency, Gu Tong's tone deepened, "I told you to make peace with Master Xiaobei by shaking hands!"

"Yes!"

Though still very irritated, Zheng Cun had no choice but to walk toward Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei glanced at Zheng Cun and said bluntly: "Don't come near me; I find you repulsive!"

After saying that, Hu Xiaobei looked at Zheng Cun, whose face had grown even uglier, and said, "Previously, I audited the accounts and you caused the company to lose millions. How do you plan to repay that money?"

"Repay? Go fuck yourself! Who the hell do you think you are!"

After venting out venomously, Zheng Cun turned quickly to Gu Tong, "Godfather, it's not that I don't respect you, but it's him who's disrespecting you now!"

Gu Tong frowned slightly upon hearing Zheng Cun's words. Soon after, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and said lightly, "What's the matter? Is making peace by shaking hands really that difficult? Can't you give me even a small bit of face?"

Hearing Gu Tong speak so coldly, everyone present shifted uncomfortably.

They all knew Gu Tong was truly angry now.

At that instant, they began to worry for Hu Xiaobei.

They were aware that if Hu Xiaobei really stirred up trouble with Gu Tong, it would be of no benefit to Hu Xiaobei, because Gu Tong was the local tyrant, with a terrifying influence in the area...

"This fool has completely done himself in now!"

Hearing Gu Tong speak icily, Zheng Cun took a deep breath...

Zheng Cun knew that since Gu Tong opposed Hu Xiaobei, Hu Xiaobei was truly in trouble!

Hence, he need not do anything now, just stand aside and enjoy the show...

...

"Is that man... Gu Tong? My God! What's he doing here?"

While Zheng Cun was grinning from ear to ear, Fang Xiaoxiao, who was happily munching on fruit, noticed a lot of people outside.

Looking closely, she spotted Gu Tong, notoriously influential in Sanfeng City, leading the group. Instantly, she panicked and, in the next second, tossed aside the fruit in her hand...

Having hung around in Sanfeng City before, Fang Xiaoxiao knew just how terrifying Gu Tong could be.

This was why, seeing him oppose Hu Xiaobei, she was worried for him...

"They cannot come to conflict, absolutely cannot!"

With that thought, she rushed towards Hu Xiaobei.

However, she had only run a couple of steps when she stopped, because at that moment, she heard Hu Xiaobei's absolutely domineering voice!

"Give you face? Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Hiss~"

After Hu Xiaobei finished speaking, everyone on the scene sharply inhaled a breath of cold air!

"Holy shit!"

"He's really got guts!"

"It's over, completely over!"

Murmuring like this, everyone stared at Hu Xiaobei, dumbfounded.

They really hadn't expected Hu Xiaobei to confront the situation head-on like this...

"This... wasn't he very clever before? How come he's courting death now!"

Qi Xiaolu was also stunned, looking at Hu Xiaobei...

In her view, Hu Xiaobei daring to speak like that meant he was really driving himself towards death...

"It's been many years since someone has dared talk to me like that. Now hearing it suddenly, it actually feels quite nostalgic!"

With a cold chuckle, Gu Tong spoke in a low voice...

After he finished, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "Initially, I saw you as a talent and wanted to recruit you for my own use. Now it seems you don't know your own weight. Since that's the case, I'll let you understand! I..."

"Talk so much, aren't you tired?"

Frowning, Hu Xiaobei charged forward and, while Gu Tong was still talking, landed a fierce slap on his face...

...

"Holy fuck!"

Seeing Gu Tong get knocked to the ground like a swatted fly, everyone was even more stunned...

"My God, this is really a case of a young calf not fearing a tiger!"

"Exactly!"

"That's too terrifying!"

Hu Xiaobei didn't care about them and continued to beat him furiously!

Soon, Gu Tong's miserable cries emerged from his mouth...

At this moment, Gu Tong was truly frustrated!

He thought, since both he and Hu Xiaobei were people of status, the most they would do was have a verbal dispute!

That's why he didn't bring many of his men this time, and yet Hu Xiaobei actually started a physical fight...

...

"Beating him up, feels freaking awesome!"

After thrashing the guy, Hu Xiaobei laughed!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, everyone didn't know what to say!

"Godfather!"

Zheng Cun quickly helped Gu Tong up!

At this moment, he got quite a shock because Gu Tong's face was swollen from being hit, looking nothing like his usual self...

Gu Tong, now being supported, glared at Hu Xiaobei with resentment, "Hu Xiaobei... you..."

Hearing him talk nonsense, Hu Xiaobei coldly said, "What? Haven't had enough beating? Still courting death?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's threatening words, Gu Tong's legs trembled, and he said, "Fine! Fine! Fine! You're tough, I'll give you that. This time, I concede! But this isn't the end! Very soon, I'll make you understand just how terrifying the price of provoking me can be! Xiaocun, help me leave!"

"Yes! Godfather!"

After agreeing, Zheng Cun glared resentfully at Hu Xiaobei and began to support Gu Tong as they made to leave...

Glancing at Zheng Cun, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes and said, "Did I say you could leave? What about the losses you've caused me?"

"You..."

Zheng Cun's expression changed slightly!

Quickly, he threw out a bank card and said viciously, "There's two million in here! From now on, we're even!"

Looking at the bank card, Hu Xiaobei said indifferently, "Only two million? Still not enough! But the rest, I'll consider it spent on feeding dogs! Lastly, let me remind you, don't court death again! Otherwise, you really might end up dead!"

"Humph! Who's courting death is still undecided!"

Leaving those words behind, Zheng Cun supported Gu Tong as they limped away...

...

"Brother Xiaobei, you... you were just too amazing! You actually beat up that Gu Tong!"

Hearing Fang Xiaoxiao speak excitedly, Hu Xiaobei turned his head.

Soon, he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing! He's just trash, that's all!"

"To you, he's trash, but in our Sanfeng City, he's not an ordinary person at all! Also, you've completely burned bridges with him now, he won't let this go easily!"

"Not willing to let go? Then I'll beat him until he does!"

Speaking calmly, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand...

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's indifferent words, Fang Xiaoxiao was utterly convinced...

In that instant, Fang Xiaoxiao thought back to the scene of Hu Xiaobei thrashing Gu Tong, and instantly, she smiled happily...
