While Zhou Yu questioned him in such a chill manner, Mayor Zhou Xiyang of Sanfeng City received a report from his subordinates...

After listening to the very detailed report, he quickly asked, "Is it really confirmed? The old master and his friend, were they kidnapped by Wang Daniu?"

"Yes! We've checked all the surveillance along the way! We traced their route and confirmed that they were kidnapped by Wang Daniu!"

Nodding, Zhou Xiyang directly asked, "Find out for me, who does this Wang Daniu work for?"

"We've already checked, his immediate boss is Dong Zhengnan. Up one level from him is Fang Yongguan."

"Have them come see me now!"

"Yes!"

After agreeing, the subordinate quickly left!

After the subordinate had left, Zhou Xiyang coldly chuckled to himself, "It seems Sanfeng City has been too peaceful for too long! Someone dared to lay hands on my father!"

Having said that, Zhou Xiyang made a secret decision, ready to use this opportunity to reorganize things, at the very least to let everyone know that there are some people who absolutely must not be touched...

...

"Now that no one has come to question me, it looks like it wasn't my men who screwed up!"

At the Urban Management Bureau, Fang Yongguan breathed a sigh of relief with delight!

Before, he was worried that it was one of his men who screwed up!

Now, Fang Yongguan felt that this possibility was getting smaller and smaller, so he was becoming more and more reassured...

At this moment, his expression suddenly changed because, in that instant, the phone suddenly rang!

"Could it really be that one of my men screwed up?"

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yongguan quickly picked up the phone.

Two minutes later, after hanging up the phone, he muttered nervously to himself, "Mayor Zhou calling me over at this time, it's likely that really one of my men screwed up!"

Thinking so, Fang Yongguan cursed silently and set off...

At this time, he didn't know who was the screw-up, but in his heart, he cursed that instigator hundreds of times...

Dong Zhengnan, Wang Daniu's direct boss, was just as distraught!

Compared to Fang Yongguan, Dong Zhengnan was nearly peeing his pants...

He knew his rank was too low to have the chance to meet the mayor.

Now that the mayor wanted to see him, it was very likely that one of his men had screwed up...

"Who is it! Who the hell is it!"

Frenzied with this thought, Dong Zhengnan didn't dare to waste a minute, instead, he hurried his pace...

...

In the small dark room, upon hearing Zhou Yu's loud questioning, Gu Tong's legs trembled, and he immediately knelt...

"This... I..."

Wanting to explain something, but when Gu Tong opened his mouth, he had no idea what to say...

Because his mind was truly a blank...

Seeing his trembling and pitiful state, Zhou Yu felt disgusted!

After a wave of his hand, Zhou Yu said directly, "Get lost!"

"Yes!"

Having agreed, Gu Tong fled in a sorry state!

Gu Tong's subordinates, noticing this scene, also quickly scrambled away...

Wang Daniu and Wang Xiaoniu, among others, of course didn't dare stay any longer. In no time, everyone had vanished...

After those scumbags had run off, Zhou Yu began with some apology, "Xiaobei, I'm really sorry for the trouble you've been put through before. You can rest assured, us old fellows will definitely give you a satisfactory resolution!"

Hearing Zhou Yu speak, the other few also quickly chimed in!

"That's right, leave everything to us to handle!"

"Yes, we will definitely give you an absolutely satisfactory answer!"

"Agreed!"

Elsewhere, they couldn't guarantee, but in Sanfeng City, they had enough influence, so naturally, they wouldn't let Hu Xiaobei suffer in vain...

Hearing their solemn assurances, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Elders, you don't need to apologize to me, it's not your fault!"

"How can it not be our fault! Before, we knew that this Gu Tong was no good, but because he was good at socializing, we didn't deal with him. Now it seems, we really have been indulgent!"

"Exactly, but this time, we absolutely won't let him off!"

"Indeed!"

They spoke with cold determination on their faces...

A favor in a droplet of water shall be returned with a gushing spring!

They had previously received kindness from Hu Xiaobei, so naturally they wanted to properly repay him, thus they all prepared to make an example out of this Gu Tong...

...

"Godfather, how... how could these big shots, who could make Sanfeng City tremble with a stomp of their foot, be involved with that trash Hu Xiaobei? What on earth is going on!"

After clumsily running out of the little dark room, Zheng Cun scratched his head and spoke with frustration...

At this time, Zheng Cun really couldn't accept it.

In his view, even after being here for such a long time, he didn't know these big shots.

And Hu Xiaobei, having just arrived a day or two, had somehow become well-acquainted with so many important people.

Hearing Zheng Cun's frustrated words, Gu Tong, full of irritation, snapped back with a fierce growl: "Shut up, how would I know!"

At this time, Gu Tong was truly frustrated to the point of vomiting blood!

Because he knew he was unfamiliar with those big shots...

So he too wanted to know how Hu Xiaobei managed to establish contact with them!

Sure, he knew now wasn't the time to worry about that! The most important thing was to find out exactly what was going on.

Thinking this, he turned toward the nearly soul-scattered Wang Daniu and bellowed, "Get your ass over here!"

Upon hearing Gu Tong's hysterical shout, Wang Daniu forced a wry smile...

Quickly, he rushed over, "Master Gu!"

Hearing Wang Daniu's sycophantic address, Gu Tong gave him a cold glance and growled, "Master your ass, are you my grandpa now? You're my fucking lord!"

After growling, he nervously demanded, "You need to explain to me clearly what the hell is going on! I simply asked you to bring Hu Xiaobei to me. Why did you have to mess with those bigshots? Why?"

"I..."

Wang Daniu smiled bitterly.

He had no idea, prior to this, that those seemingly ordinary old men were actually bigshots with connections to the heavens.

Otherwise, even if you gave him a hundred guts, he would never have dared to court death!

Seeing him just smile bitterly, Gu Tong snapped, "Well? Are you fucking dead or something? Speak up!"

"Yes! Previously, I brought Hu Xiaobei here, and then, these old folks came to rescue someone. I didn't think too much about it and caught them all!"

Hearing his nonchalant account, Gu Tong wished he could strangle him on the spot!

"Motherfucker, what are those eyes of yours for? Just for breathing? You can't recognize such important figures?"

"I... I honestly didn't recognize them!"

Wang Daniu was so frustrated he felt like spitting blood...

Hearing Wang Daniu's depressed response, Gu Tong took a deep breath and said flatly, "Alright, I don't care how, just hurry up and send these gods away, otherwise, we're all going to die!"

"Master Gu... how exactly should I do this?"

"How should I know? Just send them away the same way you brought them here!"

"Yes!"

Having hit a wall, Wang Daniu dared not say anything more and hurriedly led his men back toward the dark cell...

On the way, Wang Xiaoniu glanced at Wang Daniu and whispered, "Big Brother, are we really going to let Hu Xiaobei leave?"

"Of course! What else can we do if we don't send him away?"

"But... but I can't bear to let him go just like that! He beat me up before!"

"Can't bear it? Do you want me dead before you'd be satisfied? Let me tell you, this whole mess was caused by you. The best thing you can do now is shut up; otherwise, I might just have to disown you."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Realizing Wang Daniu was truly angry, Wang Xiaoniu shrank his neck and dared not say another word.

Of course, he was still not reconciled in his heart!

He couldn't understand why a damn vegetable seller was connected to real bigshots...

He didn't get it, Wang Daniu didn't get it either, but he now understood one thing – Hu Xiaobei was not someone they could afford to provoke, so they had to play the fool in front of him...

...

Inside the dark cell, Zhou Yu and the others were looking at Hu Xiaobei and asked in unison, "Xiaobei, you tell us, what kind of price do you want them to pay?"

"I..."

Before Hu Xiaobei could finish, he heard footsteps approaching.

Looking up, Hu Xiaobei saw the smiling faces of Wang Daniu and Wang Xiaoniu approaching.

"Is this an apology?"

With a mocking smile, Hu Xiaobei gave them a few thorough glances.

Hu Xiaobei noticed that, compared to Wang Daniu's smile, Wang Xiaoniu's was much stiffer.

"It seems that, just on the basis of being human, Wang Xiaoniu is still far inferior to his brother," he thought to himself.

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei saw Wang Daniu and Wang Xiaoniu simultaneously kneel down before him.

...

"Master Xiaobei, I was blind earlier. Please don't stoop to my level! Now, I'll send you away from here. If you need anything in the future, just ask for my help. If I can help, even if it's through fire and water, I won't bat an eyelid."

Having said this, Wang Daniu looked at his brother Wang Xiaoniu and shouted, "Are you dead or something? Hurry up and apologize to Master Xiaobei!"

"Yes, I..."

Just as Wang Xiaoniu was about to apologize, Hu Xiaobei coldly interrupted, "Forget it, I'm not interested in hearing your apologies. Get the hell out of here..."

"Master Xiaobei, this..."

"Get out!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

With that, Wang Daniu and Wang Xiaoniu awkwardly turned and left...

"Stubborn as mules!"

Outside, Wang Daniu's eyelid twitched.

He knew that Hu Xiaobei wasn't planning to let him off the hook.

Which caused him quite the headache...

Seeing Wang Daniu at a loss, Wang Xiaoniu quickly suggested, "Big Brother, there's no need for us to grovel like this – let's just take action and drive them out!"

"Drive them out? You fucking moron, always spewing shitty ideas!"

"What's wrong? Big Brother, is my idea not good?"

"Good? Good my ass! It's already difficult to try to get on Xiaobei's good side, and you're still thinking of courting death! You can't be helped even by a wall of mud."

"I..."

"Enough, stop talking nonsense, I'm going to discuss with Master Gu!"

With that, Wang Daniu didn't bother with Wang Xiaoniu and quickly walked down...
