Chapter 34

If the man in white really intended to harm Zhao Pingyuan and Huang Li, he wouldn't just stand by and watch them be bullied. However, he was worried about Liu Chunna, Zheng Xiaomin, and Qian Meihua. Once things got physical, he couldn't let anything happen to them.

Taking advantage of the fact that Kong Ergou and his gang were not paying attention to him, Chu Tianshu leaned over and whispered to Fan Yibing, "Old Fan, you take them and leave first."

Fan Yibing didn't quite understand. The trouble was caused by Qi Daguang and Zhao Pingyuan, so let them deal with it themselves. Why should he get involved? However, this wasn't the time to argue, so Fan Yibing just nodded slightly.

"Hold on, hold on," Qi Daguang hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

This was a great opportunity to save face in front of everyone!

The chubby boy suddenly pointed at Qi Daguang and said, "Second Brother, it was him who had someone kick my butt."

"Oh, so you were involved too?" Kong Ergou smiled, but his glasses flashed with a cold light.

"Second Brother, it's like this..." Qi Daguang's face immediately broke out in sweat.

Kong Ergou waved his hand, not letting Qi Daguang explain, and instead lectured him, "Comrade, you look like a little official. How can you order your subordinates to beat people? I'll give you some advice: when you're out, don't be too arrogant, or you'll end up getting beaten to a pulp. If you report it to your unit tomorrow, your boss will fire you. Do you believe me?"

Qi Daguang was stunned. Kicking a butt today was like kicking a steel plate.

He quietly took out his phone, dialed a few numbers, and then held the phone up to Kong Ergou, saying, "Second Brother, can you take this call first?"

The chubby boy shouted, "Who are you to ask Second Brother to take a call?"

Qi Daguang smiled, "Hehe, Second Brother, it's Hao Shuang who's calling you."

Kong Ergou was slightly taken aback, then he looked as if he had just realized something and gestured for his men to take the phone.

Chu Tianshu glanced at Liu Chunna and finally breathed a sigh of relief. North Lake District was Hao Shuang's father's territory. No matter how arrogant Kong Ergou was in Qingyuan, he wouldn't easily provoke Hao Shuang in North Lake District.

Kong Ergou laughed a few times on the phone, then put it down, smiled at Qi Daguang, and nodded slightly, saying, "Qi Ke, if you had mentioned Hao Shao's name earlier, you wouldn't have wasted this phone call. Alright, I can't refuse Hao Shao's face."

Qi Daguang's face lit up with joy, and he smiled, "Thank you, Second Brother. We'll take our leave then." He waved at Zhao Pingyuan in a very casual manner.

"Huh? Did I say they could leave?" Kong Ergou asked sternly.

"Did Hao Shuang not tell you on the phone?" Qi Daguang asked cautiously.

"Hehe," Kong Ergou smiled faintly, not even looking up, "Did he just let him kick our Qin Shao's butt for nothing?"

"Second Brother, we are all Hao Shuang's friends," Qi Daguang's tone hardened.

"Comrade, don't try to scare me with the police," Kong Ergou leisurely took a sip of tea, his posture somewhat like a teacher lecturing in class, "This is a law-based society. We haven't broken any laws. He kicked Qin Shao's butt, understand?"

Qi Daguang was dumbfounded.

Kong Ergou took out a cigarette from his pocket, and the man in white quickly offered a light. After taking a deep puff, he slowly exhaled the smoke and said, "Qi Ke, if it weren't for Hao Shuang's face, you'd have to crawl out of this room."

"Ah?" Qi Daguang's face turned pale with fear.

Kong Ergou looked at Qi Daguang with disdain, then at the trembling Zhao Pingyuan and Huang Li, and said, "Since Hao Shuang has spoken, I'll give him the face. You and the other friends can leave, but they two have to stay."

"This... Second Brother..." Qi Daguang tried to argue.

Kong Ergou pressed the long cigarette into the ashtray and asked coldly, "What, you don't want to leave? If you don't want to leave, you can stay too."

Qi Daguang's face turned green and white, his muscles twitching. His eyes swept over Zhao Pingyuan and Huang Li, and he grabbed his handbag from the chair.

"Qi Ke!" Zhao Pingyuan cried out pitifully.

Qi Daguang shrugged, left the trembling Zhao Pingyuan and Huang Li behind, and fled in a panic.

Chu Tianshu waved to Fan Yibing, signaling him to take Liu Chunna and the others and leave.

Liu Chunna nudged Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu, however, remained seated.

Fan Yibing pulled Liu Chunna and led the others out one by one.

"Hey, there's someone who doesn't mind getting blood on them," the chubby boy pointed at Chu Tianshu and said.

Kong Ergou looked up, stared at Chu Tianshu, and said coldly, "Brother, I advise you to leave now. If you get hurt, I won't be responsible."

"Today is my treat, and my guests haven't left yet. How can I leave? Second Brother, if I leave now, wouldn't that be ungracious of me?" Chu Tianshu smiled and asked.

The almost desperate Zhao Pingyuan had already cursed Qi Daguang's entire family hundreds of times in his mind. He looked at Chu Tianshu pitifully, his eyes full of pleading.

"Oh? This brother has some courage and loyalty. If it were another occasion, I'd like to be friends with you. But today is unfortunate. Your guest offended our Qin Shao, and I can't help you," Kong Ergou stood up, walked to Chu Tianshu with his teacup, and stared at him with a cold gaze.

Qin Shao? No wonder Kong Ergou was making such a fuss over this small matter. This chubby boy must be the son of Qin Daming, the boss of Qintian Real Estate.

Chu Tianshu estimated that Fan Yibing and the others had gone far enough and stood up fearlessly, meeting Kong Ergou's eyes.

The air instantly became tense.

Outside the private room, the security captain of the Kai Xuan Hotel, Huang Tianbao, covered his mouth and reported to the vice president, Fan Guoqing, over the phone.

"Mr. Fan, there's trouble in room 305."

"Do I need to ask? What are you for? Kick them out," Fan Guoqing, who was at the leisure and fitness center with Ouyang Meimei, said impatiently when he heard about the trouble.

"But, Mr. Fan, the leader is Kong Ergou."

"Damn, why provoke Kong Ergou? Who are they?"

"Can't tell. Everyone else in the room has left, leaving only one young man, who doesn't seem to have any background."

"Oh, let them have their fun then," Fan Guoqing said loudly.

Ouyang Meimei, who was sweating on the treadmill, heard the conversation and pouted, "Mr. Fan, there are still people causing trouble at Kai Xuan?"

"It's nothing serious," Fan Guoqing didn't want Ouyang Meimei to spread this to the city leaders, so he tried to cover it up, pinched her waist with his left hand, and praised, "Director Mei, your figure is really well-maintained."

Ouyang Meimei twisted her body and said, "Mr. Fan, you go about your business. Don't tease me here."

Fan Guoqing smiled apologetically and walked to the corridor with his phone.

"It seems they're about to fight. Should we intervene? After all, they are paying customers, and it wouldn't be good if it got out," Huang Tianbao suggested.

"Intervene? You're a man of the streets. Don't you know Kong Ergou's temper? When he's angry, who can stop him?" Fan Guoqing scolded, then added, "But keep an eye on them, don't let them go too far."

Huang Tianbao, the security captain of the Kai Xuan Hotel, was not an ordinary person. He and his two brothers, Huang Tianlong and Huang Tianhu, were known as the "Huang Family Three Cannons" and were famous in the underworld. If he couldn't even stop Kong Ergou from causing trouble on his turf, the Huang Family Three Cannons would lose face.

However, since the boss, Fan Guoqing, didn't want to provoke Kong Ergou, Huang Tianbao had to endure for now.

After a long standoff with Chu Tianshu, seeing that the other side wasn't backing down, Kong Ergou lost his patience and waved to the two men in white, saying, "Go ahead."

The men in white grabbed Zhao Pingyuan's arms and let the chubby boy kick his butt.

Chu Tianshu shouted, "Hold on!"

Kong Ergou pointed at Chu Tianshu and smiled, "Brother, I see you have some courage, but I still advise you not to get involved. It's not too late to leave now."

Chu Tianshu smiled and changed his tone, "Second Brother, I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs. I said earlier that I'm the host today. I should at least pay the bill before leaving."

Kong Ergou saw through Chu Tianshu's delaying tactics, hoping that Qi Daguang and the others would bring reinforcements. He crossed his legs, sipped his tea, and pointed at Chu Tianshu with three fingers, smiling, "Brother, don't waste time. With me here, no one will come to your rescue. If you want to pay the bill, hurry up. I'll wait for three minutes."

Chu Tianshu, seeing his intentions exposed, remained calm. He thought that delaying a bit would help. Qi Daguang had promised to help Zhao Pingyuan, so he would at least bring Hao Shuang over. Once they met, Kong Ergou would probably give some face.

Chu Tianshu took out a card from his pocket, slapped it on the table, and called out, "Waiter, the bill!"

The waiter in the private room had already run away. After the chubby boy was kicked out, she reported to the duty manager, who then called the security captain, Huang Tianbao, over the walkie-talkie.

At this moment, the duty manager was holding Huang Tianbao's arm outside the door, observing the situation.

When Chu Tianshu slapped the card on the table, the duty manager opened her mouth wide and whispered, "Wow, it looks like a Kai Xuan diamond VIP card."

"Are you sure? Can you see clearly?" Huang Tianbao wiped his eyes and asked the duty manager.

"It should be right," the duty manager nodded.

Huang Tianbao thought that if this young man held a Kai Xuan diamond VIP card, he must be a good friend of the big boss, Wang Zhiyuan. If he got hurt at Kai Xuan, it wouldn't matter if the security captain was fired, but the Huang Family
