Chapter 108 Aren’t You Afraid that He Will Shorten His Life?
There was a fight between a group of students and an adult man, so although the timid ones ran away, a group of bold guests stayed in their seats to watch the show. But at this moment, when a group of aggressive, cold and fierce men in suits broke in and surrounded Xiao Zheng fiercely, almost all the guests in the restaurant ran away, leaving only a group of helpless waiters hiding in the back kitchen and not daring to say anything.
They could see that the group of men in suits who came after them were basically gangsters on the street, and they were also famous big shots. If they were really ruthless, they might get killed. Of course the waiter didn't dare to participate for fear of getting angry.
On the other hand, Xiao Zheng, who was stuck in the crowd, had an indifferent expression on his face. Even when faced with the verbal threats from Chen Chong, the boss of the Zhao family, he remained unmoved and instead counterattacked with cold words. It can be seen that he does not take Chen Chong and others seriously.
"You brat! Do you think you can do whatever you want with Ye Shiguan's protection?" Chen Chong took two steps forward and confronted Xiao Zheng. "Let me tell you, even if someone else in Ye Shiguan is rich, the pearl still belongs to my Zhao family, and he has no say!"
Xiao Zheng said lightly: "You should know that Ye Shiguan and I have broken up. What do you want to do to me, you don't have to look at his face, and you don't have to worry about his revenge."
When Chen Chong saw that instead of using Ye Shiguan to bluff people, Chen Chong announced his disagreement with Ye Shiguan in public, his pupils shrank and he said with a cold face: "So, you are not going to take responsibility for this matter?"
"What is it?" Xiao Zheng asked slowly.
"Li Zhuang is Mu Bai's nephew, which is also my nephew, Chen Chong. You beat him, don't you plan to do something?" Chen Chong was already making the final preparations.
"You misunderstood. I didn't hit him, I was just self-defense." Xiao Zheng put out his cigarette and narrowed his eyes slightly. "If I wanted to hit him, you wouldn't have seen the last of him."
"Presumptuous!" Chen Chong groaned and suddenly swung his arm to hit Xiao Zheng.
However, before Xiao Zheng could reply, Li Mubai, who was standing aside, stopped Chen Chong and advised him, "Brother, please speak up if you have anything to say."
"What can you say?" Chen Chong was furious. "He beat Li Zhuang and was still so arrogant. If I don't kill him today, how will the Zhao family establish its authority in Mingzhu in the future?"
"But the adoptive father clearly said -" Li Mubai's eyes flashed and he whispered. "None of us can lay a hand on him."
"One code equals one code!" Chen Chong said dissatisfied. "I didn't care about what happened before, but this time he beats Li Zhuang, I can't ignore it!"
Li Mubai shook his head with a complex expression: "Doing this always goes against Yiyi's intention. I'm afraid that the old man will be unhappy if he finds out."
"What, are you afraid?" Chen Chong gritted his teeth. "Who did he hit? It was your nephew! If you don't take revenge, how will you explain to his dead parents?"
Li Mubai's face was full of embarrassment, and his eyes showed contradictions. He seemed to be at an impasse.
On the one hand, he is his nephew, and on the other hand, he is his foster father who is so kind to him. How should he choose?
He is not a reckless Chen Chong, and he will not be easily controlled by emotions, but who is shameless in the street? If he ignores his nephew being beaten today, how will he take care of him in the future?
After a moment of concentration, Li Mubai turned around slightly, stared straight at Xiao Zheng, and said calmly: "Mr. Xiao, I don't want to go against you, let alone embarrass you. But you hit my nephew, you have to do this. Give me an explanation."
"How to explain?" Xiao asked expressionlessly.
He didn't understand either Chen Chong or Li Mubai. After all, he was working in the Taoist community, and although he was somewhat famous, his level was always too low, and he had no chance to deal with the four powerful generals of the Zhao family.
But after Fourth Master Zhao reminded him, he understood the situation of the Zhao family and the personalities of the Zhao family's godsons. Chen Chong was reckless and cruel, with a high status in the world, but he was brave and foolhardy and had no palace. Li Mubai is an extremely difficult strategist, extremely ambitious and dangerous.
He is not afraid of Chen Chong, but he has to be careful with Li Mubai. After all, hypocrites who talk sweetly but hide swords, and talk about benevolence and morality are the most terrifying enemies in the world.
"The old man told us not to embarrass you. As a son, of course you cannot go against his wishes. But now, you are beating my nephew, and I am his only relative in this world. You Should I do something? After all, in addition to being the father's godson, I also have an identity as Li Zhuang's uncle." Li Mubai spoke calmly, but his attitude was clear and firm.
"Uncle Li, it was indeed Li Zhuang who started the trouble today. My brother-in-law was just protecting himself." Lin Xiaozhu jumped out and explained with an anxious look.
There were nearly twenty vicious gangsters on the road opposite, as well as the two most powerful godsons of the Zhao family. No matter how confident she was in Xiao Zheng's abilities, she had to worry about Xiao Zheng. After all, the other party is a group of murderous gangsters on the road. If we really fight, it is inevitable that both sides will suffer losses, and the gains will not be worth the losses.
"It doesn't matter whether you want to protect yourself or not." Li Mubai asked Lin Xiaozhu with a dull look. "If you provoke me, even if you go too far, I will not take action against you. This is the principle of my life, and it is also the tolerance I should have as an elder."
pretty!
Xiao Zheng was moved. No wonder Mr. Zhao Si thought so highly of him. He was indeed a wise old man. It was Li Zhuang who was wrong first and had done something evil to him. How come he said that he was bullying the weak? Besides, you can be Lin Xiaozhu's elder, but I can only be Li Zhuang's brother. What kind of elder is this?
Lin Xiaozhu pursed her lips and turned to Xiao Zheng, who was depressed but had a tough face, and whispered: "Brother-in-law, don't be stubborn. Just bow your head and apologize. Anyway, they didn't say they would do anything to you. Why make a fuss?"
Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette with frustration, bowed his head and said to Lin Xiaozhu: "I, your brother-in-law, have never bowed my head in my life. I have always killed gods and Buddhas who stand in my way--" After a slight pause, he said again. "Today, for your sake, I'll just break my principles once."
After that, he blew out a puff of smoke and said to Li Mubai with a smile: "Okay, I'm wrong this time. I'll set up two tables to apologize later. Is that okay?"
Li Mubai nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I knew Mr. Xiao was not such a rude and unreasonable person."
"If you hit someone, just say sorry with your mouth!?" Chen Chong shouted angrily. "Xiao Zheng, do you really think my Zhao family is easy to bully?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but frowned and said impatiently: "What else do you want?"
Apologizing was the biggest concession he made. If it weren't for Lin Xiaozhu here, he was afraid that she would be hurt accidentally. Xiao Zheng didn't mind fighting with this group of second-rate people on the road.
Li Mubai wanted to stop Chen Chong, but was pushed away by him. He shouted at Xiao Zheng: "Forget about the two tables of wine. My Zhao family has no shortage of money for food. As long as you kowtow to Li Zhuang and apologize, this matter will be written off!"
"Kowtow to apologize?" Xiao Zheng asked back with his eyes narrowed slightly, his face cold. "Are you crazy, or did I hear it wrong?"
"You don't want to?" Li Zhuang asked with a cold face.
"Nonsense." Xiao Zheng said contemptuously. "I, Xiao Zheng, have never kowtowed to my parents in my life. If you kowtow to that kid, aren't you afraid that he will shorten his life?"
Li Mubai saw that the tension between the two was getting stronger and stronger. He was about to step forward to smooth things over, but he heard Lin Xiaozhu exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, be careful!"
