Facing Fan Ziruo, Tie Weiqi dared not be presumptuous at all, so he said, "Miss Fan, I am Tie Weiqi, and my father is Tie Pengjun, the leader of the Iron Eagle Gang."
Fan Ziruo bowed slightly and said, "Young Master."
Tie Weiqi had just been defeated by Pang Ce. Pang Ce couldn't even be called "Little Gang Leader" in front of Fan Ziruo, so naturally he wouldn't dare to be called "Young Gang Leader."
"No, no, Miss Fan, you can just call me Tie Weiqi."

The principle of "not allowing third parties to benefit" directly created a common enemy for both sides, making it easier for them to calm down.
With the groundwork laid in the previous two places, the phrase "sit down and talk" is the only way to turn hostility into friendship and conduct amicable discussions.
Although he didn't want Fan Ziruo to get involved in the matter, He Yunxiao had to admire her: Ziruo's wife was cultured, much better than him when he entered the scene and could only say "it must be a misunderstanding".
