"Guaiguai, I used to hear people say that Master Xiaobei was incredibly awesome and super overbearing," one remarked. "At the time, I thought those descriptions were too exaggerated, but now it looks like they were spot on!"

"Yeah, yeah! Master Xiaobei is indeed quite the tyrant," another enthusiastically agreed.

"Right! I think so too!"

Watching as Hu Xiaobei sent Gu Tong and his group packing, everyone was amazed...

The scene of Hu Xiaobei ferociously beating Gu Tong was something they'd never forget!

And it made them thoroughly convinced of Hu Xiaobei's capabilities...

Upon hearing the astonished remarks from the customers, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but smile.

Shortly thereafter, Hu Xiaobei lightly clapped his hands.

After drawing everyone's attention, he apologized, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry about earlier. Now you can all continue lining up! Also, to celebrate the reopening of my shop, there will be lots of activities and discounts for the next few days. I hope everyone will come and join in!"

"Great!"

"We'll definitely join!"

"That's right! As long as your store is open, we'll support it every day!"

"Absolutely!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's invitation, everyone began to express their enthusiasm excitedly...

Earlier, when Gu Tong had appeared, they thought Hu Xiaobei would be defeated!

They feared they would no longer be able to enjoy Xiaobei Brand's vegetables and fruits.

But Hu Xiaobei had managed to chase away Gu Tong in a domineering fashion.

This shocked them and gave them a sense of joy and relief for being able to have Xiaobei Brand's vegetables and fruits once more.

That's why they treasured it even more and were so excited by Hu Xiaobei's invitation...

...

"That's Hu Xiaobei, the founder of Xiaobei Brand! No wonder he was able to cause such a stir back in Provincial City! He truly has got skills!" said an elderly man with a sprightly energy, smiling from a distance as he watched Hu Xiaobei easily mingle with everyone.

Soon after, he leisurely took a few steps forward and joined the queue with everyone else...

Hu Xiaobei had no idea this old man was watching him, nor that he had started to line up!

After chatting with everyone, Hu Xiaobei and Fang Xiaoxiao went back to the office...

Inside the office, noticing that Fang Xiaoxiao seemed down, Hu Xiaobei curiously asked, "Xiaoxiao, what's the matter? You were fine just a moment ago! Why are you feeling so low all of a sudden?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's curious question, Fang Xiaoxiao sniffled and whispered, "Well, Xiaobei Brother! I saw Gu Tong earlier and was worried you'd be at a disadvantage if things escalated with him, so I wanted to come over to persuade you. In my hurry, the apple I had washed fell to the ground! I just went over to look, and it was all smashed, and I felt so sad about it."

"Eh, I thought it was something serious! There are plenty of apples around, and some in the warehouse, so you don't have to feel so upset!"

"But I am upset!"

"A foodie is always a foodie, huh!" Hu Xiaobei muttered, rubbing his nose as he saw she was genuinely distressed.

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei spoke to comfort her, "Alright, Xiaoxiao, don't feel bad! In a few days, when we get to Lake Heart City, I'll get you your own fruit tree, alright?"

"You'll get me a fruit tree? For real? Xiaobei Brother! You... you're not lying to me?"

Sensing her anxiety, Hu Xiaobei nodded, "Yes! I'm not lying to you! Once you have your own fruit tree, you'll be able to sleep cuddled up with its fruit every day!"

"Then... then you have to keep your word!"

"Of course, I always keep my word!"

"Then... let's pinky promise!"

"Alright! Pinky promise!" Hu Xiaobei agreed and stretched out his hand.

Fang Xiaoxiao looked at Hu Xiaobei's outstretched hand and eagerly extended hers. Quickly, their fingers hooked together.

While some rejoiced, others were in despair...

Just as Hu Xiaobei and Fang Xiaoxiao were happily making their pinky promise, everyone in the business van that had left Hu Xiaobei's place had gloomy expressions...

Indeed, they all looked as if they had lost someone dear to them...

Especially Zheng Cun...

This time, not only had he lost face, but he had also lost two million...

He had skimmed about that much from Hu Xiaobei before, so now he felt as though he had coughed it all back up...

Thinking about it filled him with regret!

If only he had known things would turn out this way, he never would have fallen out with Hu Xiaobei...

"Xiaocun, are you very disappointed in me right now?" he asked.

"Isn't that obvious?" Zheng Cun muttered bitterly to himself as he observed Gu Tong's swollen face, saying, "Godfather, what are you talking about? How could I be disappointed!"

Hearing Zheng Cun's response, Gu Tong squinted his eyes, "Really not?"

"Yes! Really not!"

Gu Tong, hearing this firm response, said, "Alright, enough with the strong front! I know you're disappointed in my earlier performance! Actually, it's not just you; everyone else is disappointed too. After all, I was completely overpowered by Hu Xiaobei."

Caught in his true feelings, Zheng Cun forced a laugh, "Godfather, I am a little disappointed! But I know your capabilities and that you'll soon make a comeback!"

Feeling the expectation in Zheng Cun's words, Gu Tong replied pensively, "Make a comeback? Of course, I'll make a comeback, but I won't act hastily in seeking vengeance because I'm no longer the young and hot-headed youth I once was."

"So... Godfather, what are you planning to do? Could it be... could it really be over just like that?"

Seeing Zheng Cun getting anxious, Gu Tong reassured him, "Don't worry, although I won't send someone with a knife for revenge, I have plenty of ways to take Hu Xiaobei down! This is Sanfeng City, I know thousands of people here, just by finding a few, I can make Hu Xiaobei obediently kneel before me and apologize!"

Upon hearing Gu Tong's explanation, Zheng Cun's eyes lit up, and soon, he excitedly rubbed his hands together, "Godfather, do you mean to leverage your connections to target his shop?"

Seeing that Zheng Cun had understood his plan, Gu Tong nodded and said, "Exactly! That's what I mean! As soon as I have someone seal his shop, he'll be desperate! If he wants his shop to reopen, he'll have no choice but to come and beg me, don't you think?"

"Right, right, right!"

Seeing Zheng Cun's manic laughter, Gu Tong, whose face had swollen up, lectured, "In business, use your brain! Don't just blindly use force. Now, I'll call someone I know, and very soon, his shop will be completely shut down, and you just wait for him to kneel before us begging for forgiveness!"

"Great! Great! Great!"

Nodding vigorously, Zheng Cun eagerly watched as his godfather Gu Tong took out his cellphone...

Those in the game are often blind!

Zheng Cun knew that he had indeed been obsessing over a petty issue...

There were plenty of ways to deal with Hu Xiaobei, no need for a life-and-death struggle because it really wasn't worth it...

...

"What? Someone fainted?"

Hu Xiaobei quickly stood up after hearing the news from his subordinate!

In no time, Hu Xiaobei and the person arrived at the outside of the first floor.

Here, Hu Xiaobei saw many people gathered around...

"Excuse me!"

After saying that, Hu Xiaobei saw everyone quickly making way!

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei hurried over.

As he approached, Hu Xiaobei saw an elderly man wearing a Zhongshan suit unconscious.

"Purplish complexion, blackened lips, seems like a heart issue!"

After assessing the situation, Hu Xiaobei quickly took the elderly man's pulse...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei beginning treatment, everyone around watched intently.

Just a moment ago, the elderly man had suddenly fainted, which startled many people...

Now, seeing Hu Xiaobei stepping in to help, they all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Hu Xiaobei had medical skills, they were confident he could handle just about anything...

"Indeed, it's a heart issue!"

After checking the pulse, Hu Xiaobei identified the specific problem!

Taking another deep breath, Hu Xiaobei quickly took out acupuncture needles.

Twirling the silver needle gently, Hu Xiaobei aimed at the right spot and swiftly pierced...

One, two...

After piercing over a dozen needles, Hu Xiaobei slightly relaxed...

"Is it taken care of?"

"Really?"

As Hu Xiaobei paused, everyone who had been staring spoke in hushed tones...

It didn't take long for everyone to realize Hu Xiaobei had managed the situation.

Because at that moment, they saw the elderly man who had been unconscious open his eyes.

Meanwhile, his complexion and lips gradually returned to normal...

"Uh? What happened?"

Upon hearing the elderly man's puzzled questions, Hu Xiaobei, while putting away the silver needles, explained, "Sir, you just passed out a short while ago!"

The elderly man thought for a moment after hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, and soon, he remembered the previous incidents!

Just now, while he was queuing, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Knowing that it was an old issue, he didn't pay much attention and reached into his pocket for his pain medication.

But soon, his complexion worsened, remembering he had left the medication at home after changing clothes...

Realizing he couldn't go on without his medicine, he panicked.

Just as he was about to do something, it was too late, and he fainted...

"Young man, thank you. If it hadn't been for you, I might be on my way to meet King Yan by now!"

Hearing his exaggerated statement, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand dismissively, "Sir, it's not as dramatic as all that!"

"It's not an exaggeration, I know my own body, so I really need to thank you!"

"Sir, let's not talk about that now, let me help you inside to rest for a bit!"

"Okay!"

Hearing his agreement, Hu Xiaobei carefully helped him up, and soon, they slowly walked inside...

"Master Xiaobei is kind-hearted!"

"Indeed!"

"Such people deserve to prosper!"

Watching as Hu Xiaobei carefully assisted the elderly man, everyone expressed their genuine admiration...
