Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 696

Keep in mind that Hong Kong's economy hasn't even truly taken off yet. Even the four most famous trading houses don't have much spare cash. So, for the average person, assets worth millions are definitely a huge fortune!

Boss Pan said angrily:

"I was really looking forward to meeting some amazing person, but it turns out he's just a nobody with a few million in assets who's so arrogant and domineering in front of me!"

"Hmph, if this were in Taiwan, I could come up with at least a hundred ways to make this kind of scum disappear completely."

It's important to know that those who are successful and well-known in Hong Kong are usually referred to as triads, but the situation is quite different in Taiwan.

Many of the so-called gang members there are actually retired soldiers.

Back then, they had a mighty army of millions, but Chiang Kai-shek wiped them all out. As a result, those soldiers lost their men and no longer needed to support their troops, so they all turned to the underworld.

These guys are all veterans who have survived countless battles and hardships. They are ruthless and have absolutely no bottom line when it comes to doing things.

At first, he really couldn't figure out what the situation was.

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Despite his considerable strength, he unfortunately didn't have many capable and trusted followers around him.

That's why he inadvertently fell into Cao Huiyang's trap and was brutally beaten.

At this moment, the hatred he felt for Cao Huiyang was burning like a raging fire in his heart. He wished he could kill Cao Huiyang's entire family to vent his anger.

He slammed his fist on the coffee table in a fit of rage and yelled at Tiger across from him:

"Brother Tiger, this is your territory! I came here today with a sincere heart, hoping to make this deal with you, but I never expected to end up like this! Tell me, how should this be resolved?"

Du Feihu's anger burned fiercely; his eyes widened, and veins bulged on his forehead. He was on the verge of success with this cooperation; just one more step forward and he could smoothly extend his reach to Taiwan, supplying them with a continuous stream of goods.

The substantial profits from each deal made him feel as if countless banknotes were flowing in like a tidal wave.

However, things didn't go as planned. At this crucial moment, someone actually dared to cause trouble on his own turf! And right in front of his business partner, Mr. Wei, they beat him up. This was a blatant slap in the face!

He gritted his teeth in anger and said fiercely to Boss Wei:

"Don't worry, since this happened on my turf, I will give you a satisfactory explanation today no matter what!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Wei's gloomy expression softened slightly, and his mood improved considerably.

With a casual pull, a girl who was serving drinks fell into his arms. Then, without any hesitation, he slipped his hand inside the girl's extremely low neckline and began to roughly knead her.

The poor girl looked pained, but dared not utter a sound. She could only bite her lip and silently endure the humiliation.

At this moment, Du Feihu was talking to Boss Wei while giving a slight wave of his hand.

Instantly, a burly man with a fierce face walked quickly up behind him.

This man was muscular and had a fierce look on his face, which made him intimidating.

"Dafei, quickly take a few men and bring that arrogant Cao Huiyang back to me! I want to see what kind of audacity this kid has that makes him dare to act so recklessly and arrogantly on our turf!"

Tiger roared, his face contorted with rage.

"Yes, Brother Tiger! Just you wait and see!" The burly man called Dafei responded in a booming voice, his menacing appearance sending chills down one's spine.

At this moment, He Yuzhu, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, saw several burly men walking quickly toward them from afar, and he knew in his heart that today's matter would not end easily.

Sure enough, before the others could react, several burly men in brightly colored floral shirts rushed over like a storm.

The one in the lead was Dafei. He stared with wide, copper-bell-like eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Which one of you is Cao Huiyang?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Huiyang was taken aback at first, but quickly stood up and replied with a hint of suspicion on his face:

"I am Cao Huiyang, so what?"

Upon hearing this, Dafei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer. He then used his sharp eyes to scrutinize Cao Huiyang from head to toe, as if trying to see right through him.

After a moment, Dafei slowly and deliberately spoke:

"Hey, you think you, a greenhorn like you, dare to act so arrogantly here? Let me tell you, kid, you're in big trouble today! Come with us, our boss wants to meet you personally!"

However, before Dafei could finish speaking, two fierce-looking henchmen immediately appeared behind him and pounced on Cao Huiyang without saying a word, trying to capture him firmly from both sides.

"Let me go! Do you know who I am?"

Cao Huiyang shouted angrily, and at the same time, his friends were also anxious and shouted at the top of their lungs.

The scene descended into chaos...

He Yuzhu shook his head at Huang Zhirou, then took her small hand and shielded her behind him.

Chapter 487 Today I'm Going to Teach Him a Lesson

Liang Ming rushed forward, spread his arms, and firmly blocked the group of people, saying with a smile on his face:

"Brothers, please calm down. We can talk this out slowly."

I think there might be some misunderstanding. Just now, we had a pleasant drink with Sister Xia!

However, Dafei was unmoved and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, if it weren't for Sister Xia's sake, I would have arrested all of you arrogant fools today!"

"You bunch of lads have got some nerve! You actually dared to hit one of Tiger Brother's guests? You've got some serious guts!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming, Cao Huiyang, and the others turned deathly pale, their hearts skipping a beat, and they knew something was wrong.

They initially thought it was just a drunken ordinary customer, and that they could easily resolve the matter with their abilities.

But to everyone's surprise, the guy with the thick gold chain around his neck was actually Tiger's honored guest.

Speaking of Du Feihu, he is a well-known figure in Causeway Bay.

He not only monopolized a busy dock, but also employed a large number of strong and capable laborers.

Moreover, he also owned several prime locations on land, where his business was thriving and booming.

More importantly, he has the Li family as a powerful backer.

You have to understand that the Li family holds a very important position in the area and wields immense power. Most people avoid Du Feihu like the plague, so who would dare to provoke him?

Liang Ming gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and forced himself to remain calm as he said:

"Brother, listen to me! I'm from the Leung family in Sheung Wan. My father is the famous Leung Si-chi of the Leung Family Restaurant! Besides, we've known Sister Xia for a long time. So, in my opinion, let's just let this matter go today and not hold a grudge anymore, okay?"

However, faced with Liang Ming's words, Da Fei only showed disdain and contempt. A slight smirk appeared on his lips as he coldly sneered:

"Oh ho, who do you think you are? Don't even mention a greenhorn like you. Even if Liang Siqi himself stood here, I doubt he would dare to say such arrogant words!"

Hearing Dafei's blunt response, Liang Ming felt his face burning hot and inwardly groaned.

After all, he was the one who organized this gathering. If he just stood by and watched others forcibly take Cao Huiyang away in front of him, how could he face everyone in the future?

Thinking of this, Liang Ming quickly spoke again:

"Brother, how about we do this? I'm willing to go with you, but before that, could you please release him? Look at how you're holding him up like this, it's really inappropriate!"

Dafei was originally determined to complete the task assigned by his superiors and take the person away directly, but after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that Liang Ming's words made sense, so he nodded in agreement:

"Alright, since you want to come along, then you can all go."

It was only then that people realized that they had all drunk quite a bit of alcohol over this period of time, and now they were all in a state of drunkenness and disorientation.

As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens the timid, and given that everyone present had a decent background, they all responded to Dafei's request in a daze and staggered into the private room with him.

Behind them stood a group of burly men in black suits, their faces full of menacing features. They all looked menacing and sent chills down one's spine.

Directly in front of this group of people, a man sat casually in a large chair; this man was none other than Du Feihu.

He crossed his legs, a cigar dangling from his mouth, his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face appearing and disappearing amidst the swirling smoke.

Only then did everyone realize, as if waking from a dream, that they had seemingly provoked an extremely powerful figure.

Huang Zhiru had never seen such a terrifying scene before. Her originally fair and delicate face instantly turned bloodless and ashen.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly held her small hand tightly, trying to comfort her, but at this moment he had also lost his previous courage to resist.

Huang Zhiru trembled slightly and involuntarily moved closer to He Yuzhu.

She could even clearly feel her calves trembling uncontrollably, as if they were about to collapse to the ground at any moment.

Meanwhile, Liang Ming, though inwardly terrified, maintained a defiant stance. He forced himself to remain calm and said to Du Feihu:

"Brother Tiger, hello! My brother did accidentally have a small conflict with your elder brother today. I hope you can forgive him this time for the sake of my father."

Du Feihu's already stern face now wore a disdainful and chilling sneer as he spoke in a mocking and contemptuous tone:

"Heh! How utterly laughable! You ignorant fool, what kind of person are you anyway? Even if your own father stood before me, he would have to respectfully address me as 'Tiger Lord'! And you? You actually dare to call me brother? That's just wishful thinking!"

"Tiger Lord?" When these two words came out of someone's mouth, the scene instantly fell into dead silence, and then someone's face changed drastically.

You know, if you simply mention the name Du Feihu, most people might feel unfamiliar with it, but if you mention the Tiger of Causeway Bay, it's a name that's legendary and infamous!

In the city's underground world, the Tiger of Causeway Bay represents absolute power and authority, and his legend has long been known throughout the streets and alleys.

Everyone who had ever heard of him felt a deep sense of awe and reverence. Now, this mysterious and terrifying figure had actually appeared here; how could the people present not be filled with fear and unease?

Liang Ming, Cao Huiyang, and the others stood there arrogantly, looking as if the world revolved around them.

They thought that having vast wealth gave them the right to look down on everyone and regard others as worthless.

However, in the end, they were nothing more than a group of spoiled brats who relied on their family wealth for support.

Normally, these rich young men, relying on their families' vast wealth, act recklessly and domineeringly.

They boasted and bragged among their classmates, praising themselves to the skies.
