Upon hearing this, Liu Bing's heart skipped a beat.

broken.

They actually came for Cigarette Scar?

He said he was just a nobody, and there was no reason for Master Xing to come looking for trouble.

but……

"Where did Mr. Xing get this information?"

Liu Bing licked his lips and asked, forcing himself to speak.

He can't afford to offend Mr. Xing.

Ning Zheyuan was someone he couldn't afford to offend either...

These two men were both incredibly important figures in his eyes, and Liu Bing couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Knowing that Xing Zhicheng was after Ning Zheyuan, Liu Bing instinctively wanted to pass this hot potato to someone else. In a flash, the equally shrewd Liu Bing even prepared a lie.

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Xing Zhicheng stared intently at Liu Bing, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Li Junyang stood behind Xing Zhicheng, looking at Liu Bing as if he were an idiot.

"...Mr. Xing?"

Liu Bing's heart sank to the bottom, her lips were dry, and she could almost hear her own heart pounding.

"Seattle is developing very well, which gave me a false impression, a false impression that you would be a smart person..."

Xing Zhicheng shook his head and chuckled.

Without further ado, he clapped his hands.

Bang!

The door to the lounge was kicked open, and three men in suits rushed in, each with a menacing look on their faces.

"Mr. Xing!"

The three men clasped their hands in a deep voice.

"Oh dear, what... what is this all about?"

Liu Bing was almost scared to the point of kneeling down. She quickly explained to Xing Zhicheng, "Mr. Xing, please listen to me, I really don't know Yanba at all!"

Xing Zhicheng didn't waste any more words with him. He raised his head slightly, and the three men in suits received instructions. Two of them stepped forward, each holding one of Liu Bing's shoulders and forcibly restraining him, making him kneel on one knee.

"Since you can't figure out the situation, I'll come back later."

Then, Xing Zhicheng looked at Li Junyang and said casually, "Let's go, let's go for a walk."

"Alright, Godfather."

Li Junyang laughed and hurriedly followed, spitting at Liu Bing as he left, "Pah, you fatso, you deserved it for disrespecting me before!"

"You...you..."

Liu Bing was spat on the face, his greasy face turning bright red with anger, he was so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

When has he ever suffered such humiliation?

When I was young and adventuring in the world, I had done it before, but since I achieved fame and success, no one in the entire Jiang City has dared to humiliate me like that!

not to mention……

The other person is just a little kid!

Even if Li Qingshan, the owner of Qingshan Real Estate, came, he wouldn't dare to humiliate himself like that, but his son did.

Not long ago, Li Junyang was quite polite to him. Although the shady things he did made Liu Bing look down on him, at least when the two met, Li Junyang would still respectfully call him Boss Liu.

"Is this person... so quick to turn on you?"

Liu Bing was so angry that his eyes were seeing stars. He had long seen that Li Junyang was no good, but he never expected that this man would dare to betray another person after he had latched onto a new powerful figure.

Isn't he worried that Ning Zheyuan will come after him?

Damn it!

"Mr. Liu, you're getting a bit too angry."

Just as Liu Bing was thinking rapidly, the only man in a suit who hadn't restrained him bowed slightly and looked at him with a forced smile.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Liu Bing nervously swallowed, and shouted, his voice trembling with fear, "I'm warning you, I'm the owner of the Seattle Western Restaurant and a member of the Jiang City Chamber of Commerce! You dare touch me?!"

"If it were just me, I certainly wouldn't dare."

The man in the suit wasn't buying it, and shook his head with a smile, "But... behind me stands Master Xing."

...

ah--

A bloodcurdling scream pierced the sky and echoed throughout the Seattle restaurant.

"Does this fat guy have such good lung capacity? We've walked this far, and he can still hear us."

Li Junyang glanced back with displeasure and picked at his ear.

"My men are all very rough. Maybe Boss Liu is too delicate and can't stand them."

Xing Zhicheng glanced at the luxurious decor of the Seattle restaurant and the staff who were huddled to the side, looking at them timidly. He didn't want to make things difficult for these ordinary people. Given his status, it would be beneath him to offend them.

Xing Zhicheng casually found a seat and sat down, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

"Godfather, is it a bad idea for us to come directly to cause trouble for Liu Bing this time?"

Li Junyang moved closer to Xing Zhicheng, looking somewhat hesitant.

Although he has now recognized Xing Zhicheng as his godfather, he had already promised Ning Zheyuan and even given him shares. Now he has assaulted Ning Zheyuan's men...

How could Ning Zheyuan let him off the hook?

Li Junyang weighed the situation in his mind and concluded that the Li family, in its current state, was no match for the Yan Yun Gang.

If the Yan Yun Gang can't deal with the Xing family, surely they can deal with the Li family?

"Don't worry, the adult world has no emotions, only interests."

Xing Zhicheng smiled confidently, "There is absolutely no special relationship between Liu Bing and Ning Zheyuan, but I know that, and you know that too, but the residents of Jiang City don't know that."

"If these uninformed people find out that I attacked Liu Bing, through their spreading of the information, everyone will receive the same message:..."

“I, Xing Zhicheng, look down on Ning Zheyuan’s friends, so I hit him. In other words, I didn’t hit Liu Bing, but Ning Zheyuan’s face.”

"This reason is enough to make him come out and see me."

Xing Zhicheng took a cigar out of his pocket, patted it lightly, lit it, took a satisfying puff, and held the cigar between his fingers. The smoke filled the restaurant, obscuring the "No Smoking" sign on the wall.

"What do you mean? Cigarette Scar... he's avoiding you?"

Li Junyang scratched his head, feeling completely bewildered, even though he always boasted of his deep cunning.

Is Ning Zheyuan avoiding Xing Zhicheng?

I didn't notice...

"Yes, and he hasn't shown his face since the day I arrived in Jiang City."

Xing Zhicheng, with a cigar in his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly: "You recognized me as your godfather, but he hasn't shown up. Although I haven't touched his interests for the time being, I suppose... as the most loyal dog of the Xia family, he's probably thinking about how to avoid a direct confrontation with me right now."

"But I won't let him hide from me."

Xing Zhicheng smiled confidently: "Just wait, the person we're waiting for will arrive in a little while."

"Really...really?"

Li Junyang turned his head away somewhat sheepishly; he felt guilty.

Although Liu Bing and Ning Zheyuan had no connection, and neither did Li Junyang himself, and their relationship was purely based on mutual benefit, Li Junyang's presence at the scene of Liu Bing's beating gave him a feeling of being betrayed.
