Seeing Wang Zheng's arrogance and conceit, Xu Yifeng's mind began to race.

No one who has made it this far is a fool.

As the saying goes: the older you get in the world, the more timid you become.

In Xu Yifeng's eyes, he was now 90% convinced that Duan Zhengkai was indeed a young master with a powerful background in the capital, and that his arrogance and nonchalance were not something that could be faked.

Although the information he found through his own channels indicated that Duan Zhengkai from the capital city seemed to be a summoner, and his appearance was also quite different from the one in front of him.

But does it matter?

That's not important!

If you know the other party has a powerful background, then resolving the feud is the most practical approach. Judging from the other party's attitude, it's clear that he has his own confidence.

Moreover, ever since that young man came in, his good-for-nothing younger brother has been trembling incessantly.

Xu Yifeng had already decided to back down and settle the matter peacefully.

During the brief pause between Wang Zheng and Li Hao, he gave Shi Zhi a wink.

Although Shi Zhi was unwilling, he could only shakily pick up his wine glass and walk up to Wang Zheng.

"Young Master Duan, I was blind and offended you outside the city. I hope you can forgive me this time!"

Looking at the timid Shi Zhi in front of him and the "calm and composed" Xu Yifeng opposite him, Wang Zheng's mentality was already starting to break down.

"Damn! Does this A-level boss have any backbone at all?! I practically shit on your face, and you're still so spineless?"

If Wang Zheng knew that it was because his acting was too good, too realistic, that Xu Yifeng misunderstood his background, he might regret it.

However, the only thing Xu Yifeng guessed wrong was that Wang Zheng's confidence came from his own strength, not from his parents or Chu Tianxing!

Wang Zheng was still unwilling to give up and was thinking about how to provoke the other party.

He ignored Shi Zhi, who was standing in front of him trembling, and said to Li Hao, "Um, Brother Hao, there's something I need to apologize to you for!"

Although Li Hao had a vague idea of ​​what Wang Zheng was going to say, he really didn't expect why Wang Zheng would do this.

However, as the person who organized this dinner, he naturally couldn't just leave Wang Zheng hanging and ignore him.

So all I could do was force a smile and say, "What's wrong? If it's serious, I won't forgive you easily unless you're punished with a few more drinks!"

Wang Zheng once again displayed his superb acting skills, scratching his head with a simple smile.

"Actually, I'm not from the capital, and my surname isn't Duan..."

Although Wang Zheng's voice wasn't loud, it could still be heard clearly throughout the private room.

Li Hao's eyes gleamed, and he laughed heartily, slapping the table as he said:

"Oh, so that's what it is. I already knew. It's nothing serious. It's just a pity I can't be your senior anymore. But you'll have to be punished with a drink."

Without saying a word, Wang Zheng slammed his hand on the table, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"readily!"

Li Hao cheered loudly.

"There's one more thing."

Wang Zheng's gaze swept over Shi Zhi, who was holding a wine glass in front of him, and then he slowly spoke:

“My family’s financial situation is actually quite average. My father is seriously injured and needs a lot of money for treatment every month. My mother works overtime every day to pay for my father’s treatment. That’s why I secretly ran away by myself to try to earn more money to treat my old man!”

Wang Zheng: "Everything I said here is the truth. At most, I missed a little information, but it doesn't count as lying!"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao's face twitched violently. Even the old butler behind him, who had been expressionless the whole time, turned around and coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment at almost being unable to hold back his laughter.

The head housekeeper of the Li family is professionally trained and generally doesn't laugh unless he can't help it.

"Straightforward!"

Li Hao shouted, then decisively continued the conversation, downing his drink in one gulp before speaking:

"When I, Li, make friends, I never look at their status or position. What I value is you as a person! If there's anything I can do to help you, just say the word!"

Li Hao spoke with great enthusiasm, but in his heart he was cursing wildly.

"Don't you have any conscience saying that? Have you forgotten that top-grade sixth-rank spiritual energy crystal you were toying with when we first met? How can you say something like that that's unworthy of that treasure?"

"Damn it, I almost blurted out your father's illness. Seeing how vengeful this kid is, if I had, he might have held a grudge against me. Luckily, I was quick-witted and changed my mind in time!"

'Looks like my junior classmate is up to something this time. Judging by his confident demeanor, he's probably going to ruin Xu Yifeng. Fine, let's see what tricks he has up his sleeve!'

The second young master of the Li family was lost in thought. He didn't even look at Xu Yifeng sitting opposite him. Instead, he moved his chair slightly closer to his old butler.

Shi Zhi, who also heard Wang Zheng's words, seemed to believe them and turned to look at his brother-in-law.

But to his surprise, his brother-in-law's brows furrowed even deeper than before, making his already somewhat sinister expression even more terrifying.
