Chapter 11

"Damn, I just came out of the toilet and saw a woman who looked like a hostess, and she was quite flirtatious." The middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears sat down on the sofa and drank a large glass of alcohol.

"I thought she was young and new to the job, so I patted her butt to ask about the price. I didn't expect her to slap me, and then her boyfriend came over and kicked me hard, saying something about Ding Junfei. I don't know who he is," he said.

"Ding Junfei? Isn't he from the Queen Hall?" Sister Hong interjected.

"Yes, yes, that guy also said he was from the Queen Hall and said he was waiting for me, with a very arrogant tone," Boss Zhang quickly added.

Brother Hao frowned and looked at Sister Hong beside him. "What's going on? Do you know him?"

"It's nothing. He used to come here often. His father runs a small factory in the Development Zone, with assets of a few tens of millions," Sister Hong said, elegantly crossing her legs and smoking a lady's cigarette.

"Damn, I thought he was some big shot. A few tens of millions? Is that even money? In Jinxi, I could crush him in a minute," Boss Zhang said, his face fat trembling with anger. He had contracted a coal mine in Jinxi, with assets ten times more than Ding Junfei's family. He also had a team of dozens of mine guards who often fought with other coal mine bosses, usually leaving a few injured or disabled. Today, he was actually bullied by a young guy.

He slapped the table and looked at the man in the Zhongshan suit. "Brother Hao, what should we do about this?"

"Ha, that's great. A kid from a small boss in the Development Zone dares to hit people in my place," Brother Hao said, not angry but smiling.

The group of beauties sitting on the sofas around them immediately fell silent. Since they worked at the Royal Entertainment, they naturally knew how terrifying this man was in Chuzhou.

Zhou Tianhao, a powerful figure who controlled both the black and white markets, was the chairman of Tianhao Entertainment, with more than a hundred people under his command.

At the level of the Royal Entertainment, he had over a dozen venues in Chuzhou, with most of the city's KTVs, bars, and nightclubs having his shares, not to mention other black market businesses.

Once, a city's industry and commerce bureau chief had a conflict with him and threatened to investigate his venues. A few days later, he was taken away by people from the provincial government.

Recently, he had started to gradually retire and focus on the white market. Boss Zhang, who had contracted a copper mine in Chuzhou, sought him out to collaborate. But now he encountered this situation, how could he not be angry?

"Boss Zhang, don't worry. You are my esteemed guest, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory response," he said, waving his hand. A muscular man with a fierce look, wearing a thick gold necklace and a white tiger tattoo, walked over.

"Ah Biao, take two men to the Queen Hall and bring Ding Junfei and his companions here. I want to see who in Chuzhou dares to challenge me, Zhou Tianhao," Brother Hao said calmly.

"Yes, Brother Hao," the tiger-tattooed man bowed and said loudly.

...

Chen Fan was about to leave when the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. Several men in black suits, with tattoos on their arms, rushed in. The leader, Ah Biao, shouted:

"Who is Ding Junfei?"

"That's me. What's up?" Ding Junfei stood up, puzzled.

"Good, come with us. Our boss wants to see you," Ah Biao said, and two black-suited men rushed over to grab him.

"Stop, what are you doing? Do you know who I am?" Ding Junfei struggled, and his friends around him started cursing.

"Brother, let's talk this out," Yang Chao stopped a few rich second-generation who wanted to fight, looking coldly at Ah Biao. "This might be a misunderstanding. What do you want with Xiao Fei?"

"He hit someone, and it was our boss's esteemed guest," Ah Biao said with a fake smile.

"You were called by that Jinxi guy," Ding Junfei's face changed.

"Brother, my father is Yang Yifan from the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel, and we know the owner of this place. You can't just help a Jinxi guy bully us from Chuzhou, right?" Yang Chao said proudly.

"I don't care who your father is. You have the guts to say that to my boss," Ah Biao spat and sneered.

"Fine, let's go see your boss. First, let your men release him, okay?" Yang Chao didn't back down.

Ah Biao thought for a moment. His boss only told him to bring the people over, not how to do it, so he nodded. "Alright, follow me, but don't try to run. Don't blame us for not giving you face later."

He led the way out of the private room.

"Brother Chao, what should we do? Should we call home?" Ding Junfei asked anxiously.

"Don't worry. A Jinxi guy can't know anyone here. At most, he's just a local boss or a small-time thug. We have so many people here, what do we have to fear?" Yang Chao said with a cold laugh.

His father, Yang Yifan, owned one of the top five hotels in Chuzhou, so his connections were extensive, even in the new district.

A group of drunk, arrogant rich second-generation followed Ah Biao and his men excitedly.

Chen Fan saw Jiang Churan being dragged along by Zhang Yumeng and couldn't help but laugh. "Let's see how you handle this."

When Yang Chao and the others arrived at the Emperor Hall and saw the group of black-suited men behind Brother Hao, they were slightly taken aback. This local boss seemed quite powerful. But their families all had backgrounds, so they weren't afraid.

"Brother, what's the matter with my friend Xiao Fei?" Yang Chao asked proudly.

"Oh, who are you?" Brother Hao, with one arm around Sister Hong and the other around a woman in a cheongsam, looked at the group of immature kids with interest.

"My name is Yang Chao. My father is Yang Yifan from the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel. If we offended you, please give us some face," Yang Chao said, bowing.

"Yang Yifan?" Brother Hao snorted.

"Even your father would have to toast and call me Brother Hao when he sees me."

"Who are you?" Yang Chao's face changed, as if he realized something.

"I am Zhou Tianhao. You hit someone in my place and don't even know who I am?" Zhou Tianhao said with a cold laugh.

"Brother Hao?" Everyone's faces changed, and Ding Junfei felt a chill run down his spine.

They had just been discussing how powerful Brother Hao was, and now they had actually provoked him?

Yang Chao and his group might seem tough, but in Chuzhou, they were only second or third-tier rich second-generation. The highest-ranking official in their families was a deputy district chief, not even in the new district. How could they provoke such a powerful figure who controlled both the black and white markets?

"Boss Zhang, the people are here. What should we do?" Brother Hao looked at the fat middle-aged man.

The man rushed forward and kicked Ding Junfei hard, sending him to the ground, his face pale.

"Kid, you thought you were tough, didn't you? Let's see how your father deals with me tonight," he sneered.

"No, no, brother, I was wrong, really wrong. Please let me go," Ding Junfei pleaded, covering his head, terrified.

"Let you go? Sure," Boss Zhang laughed. "Let your girlfriend spend the night with me, and I'll let you go."

Xiao Xin was already trembling in fear and tried to shrink back when he looked at her.

Sister Hong smiled. "So, Boss Zhang, you like that. I can get you a bunch of high school girls in a minute."

Yang Chao swallowed hard, looking at his friends, who all looked scared. He knew he had to step up.

When he heard "Zhou Tianhao," he knew this wouldn't end well. He had to tough it out.

"Brother Hao, my friend offended your esteemed guest. We will apologize and make amends. But please don't involve the girl," he said.

"Sure, I've had a few meals with your father. I'll give him some face," Zhou Tianhao said with a sly smile.

Before he finished, Yang Chao's face lit up.

"You can leave, but leave these two behind," Zhou Tianhao continued.

Yang Chao and the others' faces changed dramatically.

If they left now and left Ding Junfei and his girlfriend behind, they would lose this friend forever. In the future, if people in the circle mentioned Yang Chao, they would laugh at him for being unrighteous.

"Why should we leave them behind? That's illegal detention," Zhang Yumeng couldn't help but say.

As soon as she spoke, Yang Chao knew it was bad.

His girlfriend was used to being pampered and had no idea how terrifying Zhou Tianhao was.
