He Wu had encountered martial arts masters in his life.
Although he held power in Xidu, he was unable to control such a person.
He knew that in front of such a person, not only he, but even powerful and influential families would have to be very polite.
He had tried his best to win over such a person.
However, he had met a few people before, but they didn't even look at him, let alone make friends with him.
Now that he and this Dr. Lin have crossed paths, it's like being in a favorable position, so he must seize this opportunity.
After thinking for a moment, He Wu immediately gave Zhang Biao an order: "Biaozi, this Mr. Lin is my honored guest and also my son's benefactor. You must treat him with the same respect you would show me. Even if it's just half of my fortune, or even if it costs you your life, you must offer him your neck clean! Understand?"
Zhang Biao looked horrified.
Since submitting to Fifth Master's command, Fifth Master has never been so respectful to anyone.
It seems his thinking was right; this person is absolutely not to be offended!
"Understood, Fifth Master. Don't worry! From now on, I will serve Mr. Lin as I have served you!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Biao wiped away his cold sweat.
Fortunately, he remained calm. If he had acted impulsively and had someone shoot Lin Yu in the back, he would have been in big trouble!
"From this moment on, none of you are allowed to cause trouble for Mr. Lin!"
Zhang Biao immediately ordered, "Furthermore, liquidate my assets and give half of them—no, two-thirds—to Mr. Lin!"
The men were all surprised, but none of them dared to say anything more.
...
at the same time.
Zhao Lei and Liu Song had already put on their clothes.
They were preparing to leave this place where they had suffered so much humiliation without stopping.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving in the hall, I encountered veteran comrades such as Yu Guorong.
"Hey, Zhao Lei, what happened to your face?" Yu Guorong's expression changed immediately when he saw Zhao Lei's bruised and swollen face.
Zhao Lei smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, Uncle Yu, I just slipped and fell while taking a shower!"
"Ouch! Look how careless you are!"
Yu Guorong couldn't help but shake his head.
He was just praising his future son-in-law to a group of older comrades, saying how much he had done for them. He genuinely cared for his son-in-law, and seeing him injured like this, he was truly heartbroken.
"Are you leaving already? Why don't we pay the bill together? The hospital has some benefits for Doctors' Day, and you can get reimbursed if you pay through me!"
Yu Guorong readily agreed to pay the bill for everyone.
Everyone went to the front desk together, and Zhao Lei handed his number tag to Yu Guorong, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Yu!"
Zhao Lei was quite touched.
Hmph! You surnamed Lin, you didn't expect this, did you? Although Xi Yan ignores me, my father-in-law is good to me. With my father-in-law's support, I've already won half the battle.
One day in the future, I will get my hands on Xiyan!
Zhao Lei made a silent vow in his heart.
Even now, he still clung to a sliver of hope, thinking he could still turn the tables and compete with Lin Yu again.
At this moment, Yu Guorong had already arrived at the front desk and handed everyone's number tags to the front desk staff to settle the bill.
"Sir, your total bill is 36,800!" the receptionist said after checking the bill.
"What?" Yu Guorong thought he had misheard and stared wide-eyed. "That's impossible! We old comrades just got a bath, how could it be so expensive?"
"Exactly! Taking a shower is so expensive! You're charging exorbitant prices!"
"Believe it or not, we'll call and complain about you!"
"This is extortion!"
The veteran comrades were filled with righteous indignation and expressed their dissatisfaction.
Faced with Guo Rong and the others' questioning, the receptionist remained calm and picked up a number plate. "Sir, we did not charge you maliciously. This number plate has a record. The two guests went up to the fifth floor, which is a high-end area. The minimum charge is 18,000, so for two people it is 36,000. The charges for the rest of you are normal, only 800!"
Yu Guorong was taken aback. This number plate naturally belonged to Zhao Lei. He immediately looked at Zhao Lei and asked, "Zhao Lei, you went to the fifth floor? What are you doing there?"
On the surface, the Water World is a normal bathhouse suitable for all ages. However, the shady practices upstairs are unknown to ordinary people, especially those with traditional values like Yu Guorong, who would never even think of such things.
This put Zhao Lei in an awkward position.
Damn it!
I didn't do anything, and I just got beaten up as soon as I went up there, and they even wanted to charge me!
How is he supposed to explain this now?
At this moment, an elderly comrade next to Yu Guorong came to his ear and whispered a few words.
"Old Yu, my son mentioned it, saying that upstairs is a place to find prostitutes..."
"What?!" Yu Guorong's face immediately darkened, feeling his old face burning with embarrassment, and he trembled with anger.
His chosen future son-in-law actually went to a bathhouse to find prostitutes, and in front of so many old comrades, where was he supposed to put his old face?
Zhao Lei looked embarrassed, "Uncle Yu..."
"Shut up!!" Yu Guorong roared immediately. "I don't care about this money, you pay it yourself! I thought you were a good kid, but I was blind! From now on, stay away from our Xiyan!"
"Uncle Yu, please let me explain..."
Zhao Lei felt like dying; Yu Guorong's support was his last hope in pursuing Yu Xiyan.
Yu Guorong wouldn't listen to his explanation and shoved him away, saying, "Get out of here, I find it disgusting!"
He was genuinely angry. He despised indecent behavior more than anything else in his life, and Zhao Lei's actions had crossed his bottom line. He decided to banish this scoundrel to the cold palace.
