The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The malice in the bald Brother Hu's eyes flared, his face already a ferocious mask.

"You're fucking with me!"

Anyone could see that Brother Hu was furious. In front of so many people, for her to use Xiao Shishou to mess with him was a blatant slap in the face.

He stood up, casually grabbed a wine bottle, and walked toward Xu Qing step by step.

Xu Qing was both scared and frantic. She wrung her hands and stammered, "I… I'm not lying! If you don't believe me… if you don't believe me, just call Xiao Shishou over, and you'll… you'll know!"

Brother Hu acted as if he'd heard the funniest joke in the world. 'She doesn't even have my boss's phone number, yet she claims to know him and even tells me to call him over?'

No one had ever dared to mock him like this in his own territory.

Sister Lan, off to the side, shook her head slightly. She thought this group of youngsters was far too naive. She had originally wanted to speak up for them—perhaps suggesting they leave the girl and let the others go.

But things weren't so simple anymore. Brother Hu's pride and authority had been seriously challenged. If he didn't do something, this matter wouldn't be resolved.

"I advise you to put the bottle down and call Xiao Kun over."

Chen Dong said coolly.

He hadn't wanted to get involved in his classmate Xu Qing's affairs. His initial warning was just to avoid trouble. He had a decent impression of Xiao Kun and saw no need to clash with him over a few students who had been targeting him.

If Xu Qing hadn't stepped forward, he wouldn't have even bothered to speak up.

Everyone in the private room was stunned once again. Even the girl in the spaghetti-strap minidress, who had been crying the whole time, stopped and stared blankly at Chen Dong.

He had actually dared to use Xiao Shishou's given name!

Brother Hu was at his wit's end, and Sister Lan felt like she was going crazy. Each of these youngsters was more audacious than the last.

'First, some girl steps up claiming to know the boss, fine. But now some kid not only uses the boss's name directly but does it with the attitude of someone calling for his grandson—so casual and unbelievably cocky!'

Facing everyone's stares, Chen Dong said calmly, "Why are you looking at me? I don't have his number either."

The bald Brother Hu was livid. These kids were way too bold. Or had his, Brother Hu's, blade gone dull? Did everyone think they could use his boss's name to act tough in front of him now?

The bottle in his hand flew fast and true toward Chen Dong's head. He would start by cracking open the skull of this most pretentious bastard.

But there was no dull thud of a bottle breaking against a skull. Chen Dong had easily caught the bald Brother Hu's wrist.

Everyone was in disbelief. How had Chen Dong, who was just sitting, suddenly stood up and grabbed Brother Hu's wrist? They hadn't seen him move at all.

Seeing their boss at a disadvantage, the underlings immediately charged forward.

Chen Dong's brow furrowed. Still gripping Brother Hu's wrist, he swung the bottle and smashed it over the head of a man charging at him. CRACK!

He then spun, swinging the 170-pound Brother Hu and throwing him into the crowd of black-clad men.

Then, with a kick here and a punch there, all twenty-plus men in black were on the ground in less than thirty seconds. This included the portly Boss Qian, who had charged in from behind; he took a heavy kick to the face and couldn't get back up.

The only one left standing was Sister Lan, her hand covering her mouth and her eyes wide in shock. She had never seen anyone who could fight like that.

Xu Qing's classmates were all dumbfounded. The guy they had looked down on from the very beginning was actually this strong.

The boys in the group, in particular, were shocked, scared, and relieved all at once. They had been plotting to teach this guy a lesson, but now they realized they would have been the ones getting wrecked. They had even mocked him for not daring to fight, yet now none of them dared to make a move. The memory made them want to die of shame.

At the same time, they felt a surge of relief, thinking that thanks to this guy, they might actually get out of here alive today.

Brother Hu clutched his stomach, struggling to get up. Sister Lan hurried over to support him. He had taken a kick to the gut and was still in agony. He had lost a tremendous amount of face today. He had to get it back, no matter what. Otherwise, how could he command respect in the future?

His lips twitching, he glared at Chen Dong and snarled, "You're a tough fighter, huh? Let's see if you can still fight against two hundred men! I swear I'll make you pay for this today!"

With that, he pulled out his phone to call for backup.

The glimmer of hope the students had just felt was replaced by terror. They didn't think Chen Dong could possibly beat two hundred people, no matter how good a fighter he was. Brother Hu wasn't just bluffing. This entire area was his turf; calling two hundred people wouldn't even take him ten minutes.

As the situation escalated, so did their fear.

Chen Dong planted his foot on one of the downed men, frowned, and said, "This could have been solved with a single phone call, but you just had to get physical. Don't piss me off. Before you call your men, you'd better call Xiao Kun. Tell him my name is Chen Dong, and see if he still wants you to make me pay."

At this point, Brother Hu was in a bind. He desperately wanted to regain his pride, but he was also afraid that this kid really did know his boss.

He hesitated for two seconds, then decided to call Xiao Kun first. If he brought in two hundred men, Xiao Kun would find out sooner or later anyway. Besides, he believed Xiao Kun would back him up, even if this kid knew him.

The call connected, and Xiao Kun's voice came through.

"Hu Zi, what is it?"

"Boss, there's a kid named Chen Dong causing trouble at my Silver Glow KTV!"

Hearing this, Xiao Kun said urgently, "Let Mr. Chen do what he wants! Whatever he wants to do, you help him do it! I'm on my way now!"

The bald Brother Hu was dumbfounded. 'What the hell does the boss mean by that? It looks like this kid really does know him, and their relationship is anything but ordinary.'

Still unwilling to let it go, he said, "But Boss, he trashed our place and beat up our men!"

Xiao Kun roared back, "Stop what you're doing right now! Apologize immediately, and do not get into any more conflict with Mr. Chen! I'm coming over now!" Then the call was disconnected.

Although the call wasn't on speaker, Chen Dong had heard every word clearly. He leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, "See? Wouldn't it have been better to just call him earlier? I don't like trouble. Can we go now?"

The bald Brother Hu's face alternated between red and white, so furious he couldn't speak. 'The boss actually told them to apologize? What a joke! For me, Brother Hu, my head can roll and my blood can flow, but asking me to apologize? You might as well just kill me.'

Sister Lan, standing nearby, had overheard the phone call. She guessed this Mr. Chen's identity was anything but simple. 'We can't let him leave now. Not only will it be hard to explain to the boss when he arrives, but this is a rare chance to meet such an important person. Luckily, no serious damage has been done yet. If we can get on good terms with Chen Dong, this conflict could turn into an opportunity.'

So she spoke up, "Mr. Chen, please don't be in a rush. My boss is on his way. It'll just be a few minutes!" At the same time, she spoke into her walkie-talkie, "Someone, prepare the Emperor Suite."

Chen Dong nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, Xiao Kun rushed into the private room, looking frantic.

Ignoring his bruised and swollen underlings, he spoke kindly to Chen Dong, "Mr. Chen, please don't blame my brothers for their ignorance. Xiao Mou is here to apologize on their behalf."

Chen Dong smiled. "You're much more reasonable, Mr. Xiao. We're good as long as they don't come looking for trouble with me."

Hearing this, Xiao Kun's heart skipped a beat. He ordered his men to bring wine.

An underling immediately brought over a bottle of The Macallan in Lalique whisky.

Xiao Kun took the bottle, opened it, and then bowed slightly as he spoke, "Mr. Chen, I was briefed on the situation on my way here. Please, do not hold this against my brothers."

After speaking, he tilted his head back and downed the entire bottle of nearly 100-proof liquor in one go.

Watching this, the students' jaws nearly hit the floor. They didn't dare to breathe. The legendary Xiao Shishou, downing an entire bottle of expensive liquor just to apologize... If they told anyone about this, no one would believe them!
