In the other side of the hall.

“Weiguo, it’s already past 8, why isn’t Dali here yet?” Hong Jianye’s face was full of nervousness. “This is his coming of age ceremony, being late will leave a bad impression on him. Quite a number of guests are already impatient.”

It was a very rude thing towards the guests for the male character not to appear on his coming of age ceremony.

Hong Weiguo insipidly looked at his fourth brother, Hong Jianye, smiled and said, “Relax, he will settle things over at his side very quickly. I believe in him.” Saying so, he looked at one of the people in the crowd. “Don’t you agree, Chief Dong?”

“That’s indeed the case.” Vice-Chief Zhang from the sub-department had already informed him about the matter regarding Ling Xiaoyi, so he was aware of the situation. “I heard that this matter was because of Ling Xiaoyi’s brother. He was lured into consuming drugs. This matter must be taken care of, if not his subordinates will lose faith in him. Also…” Chief Dong took a look at Hong Jianye, gave him a mysterious smile, and said, “Also, I feel that this matter isn’t so simple. If we investigate further, we might be able to discover the main culprit behind this.”

At his side, Boss Jin smiled and said, “Oh my, speaking of which, Chief Dong, I asked a few underlings of mine to protect Young Master Dali. You have to help me inform your side to let them off. You know that it’s a hard time for us to make a living nowadays.”

“No problem.” Chief Dong patted Boss Jin’s shoulder. “Your Golden Light enterprise is doing quite well lately, and also helped me settle quite a lot of problems.”

When he just entered the triads, it could be said that there was a lot of bloodsheds. However, Boss Jin had been trying hard to wash away his triads bad image and had been secretly settling some things for the Police that couldn’t be shown in public. Therefore, his relationship with Bureau Chief Dong Huarong was quite good.

People like him who was in a triad normally had connections with both the Underworld and the Police. If not, they couldn’t have lasted long if the Police kept checking on them and their business every two to three days.

“Haha, you’re flattering me. I’m just helping to share some of your burdens, it’s my duty to do so!” Boss Jin laughed loudly. “But Chief Dong, it isn’t easy trying to find that two bastards who lured him into taking drugs. I’m afraid that someone may be hiding them.”

“Of course, I’m aware of this.” Chief Dong shot a meaningful look at Hong Jianye and then smiled and said, “However, nothing is impenetrable in this world. Can that person hide them forever?”

“That’s true!” Boss Jin cooperated.

Hong Jianye watched these two people act in from of him and gave a cold laugh in his heart. On the surface, he nodded and said, “Since this is the case, I shall wait for your good news. Speaking of which, this action of luring people into taking drugs must be taken care of.”

“That’s for sure.”

Seeing that they had nothing more to say to him, Hong Jianye instantly walked away. When he walked to a corner, his son Hong Anbao came up and asked softly, “Dad, they couldn’t have found out about us, right?”

“Of course not.” Hong Jianye smiled and said, “I’m careful when doing things. Hehe, because of Hong Dali, Hong Weiguo probably spent a lot of money for today. This is a good excuse to use during the family meeting. We shall just stand aside and see how it plays out from now on. We don’t have to do anything else.”

“OK.” Hong Anbao smiled and said, “It’s fine as long as our goal is achieved.”

As they secretly conversed in the corner, Hong Weiguo was also discussing this matter at his side too. Dong Huarong asked, “Weiguo, regarding the matter about Ling Xiaoyi, who do you think is the mastermind?”

“There are a lot of suspects.” Hong Weiguo shook his head and said, “Dali has been involved in a lot of industries, any of his rivals might be the one behind this. Of course, my main suspect is… Unfortunately, I don’t have any proof, so there’s nothing I can do.”

Boss Jin was from the triads, he was naturally familiar with such stuff. “I encountered such a situation before too. Someone wanted to lay his hand on my son. I didn’t waste any words but just broke the legs of all those related. And now, my son is living perfectly fine. Hehe, you can’t be soft-handed when dealing with such matters. If not, those bastards will think that you are easy to bully. A kind person will be bullied, a kind horse will be mounted on, this is how things are.”

“Yup, this is my intention as well.” Hong Weiguo gradually said, “Although I’m not sure who is the culprit this time, I can put stress on the people who executed the plan. I need to let everyone know that even if I can’t find the mastermind, I will take it out on those who executed the plan!”

“Yes, this is the right thing to do.” Boss Jin agreed. “After this incident, they won’t dare to lay their hands on Dali again. Back to the main topic, I wonder how Dali is doing now. There couldn’t be any problems at his side, right?”

“There’s no problem.” Hong Weiguo nodded affirmatively. “Although Dali is a prodigal, he isn’t silly. Don’t worry.”

…

8:10 PM.

When Hong Dali and his group arrived at Wan Hao nightclub and saw the situation there, they knew that things wouldn’t be easy!

This was practically a base for hooligans and gangsters. From the entrance of the nightclub, all the way to the entrance of the street, all kinds of motorbikes were parked along the road. There were hooligans with ear holes, nose holes, and tattoos littered everywhere along the road.

It was May 28th today, they all wore shirts with short sleeves which exposed the tattoos of all kinds of animals on their skin. There were snakes, cats, goat heads, and even one that was tattooed “Chui Chui, I love You.” This caused Hong Dali to be quite depressed. He was wondering if he should hit that hooligan later, or should he hit him, or should he just hit him…

Regardless, it looked like Yao Tianhao was really daring in his moves after hearing the news of their coming. It was no wonder that he could become the leader of so many people.

Speaking of which, he gathered all of the hooligans who were within five kilometers in less than ten minutes. Just from this scene along, it was quite similar to the final battle scene in “Young and Dangerous.” There were almost 300 plus people present—although half of them looked like it didn’t concern them and they were just here out of curiosity. However, if it weren’t because of his wealth and stature, even if he was very famous amongst the triads, Yao Tianhao also couldn’t have managed to gather so many people.

At this moment, the difference in the ideas of the people around Hong Dali could be obviously seen.

Tang Muxin pulled his hand. “Dali, be careful, they have too many people. Why not wait for Boss Jin’s people to come first.” This little lass wasn’t afraid that these hooligans would dare to hurt them, she was afraid that Hong Dali would be accidentally injured in the chaos.

Mu Zixiao excitedly licked his lips. “Damn it, I can finally enjoy myself today!” This fellow seemed to think that he was the protagonist of those novels where the main character could defeat anyone and everyone who stood in his way.

As for Geezer Wang, he said, “Looks like I have to be hard on them. Otherwise, they won’t be easily settled.” This old fellow’s movements were slippery like a loach. Unless those hooligans used mud to cover all openings on their body, they would be helpless against Geezer Wang.

The three male lackeys valiantly stood beside Hong Dali, each carrying an ax—it was more practical to follow Young Master than buying insurance. Even if they sacrificed themselves, the Hong Family would repay their families.

As for those from Sanquan Gang—these people each had an ax with them and smiled coldly at those hooligans.

Speaking of which, professional gangsters and those small hooligans who were just for show were totally different in terms of their mental quality. These people totally paid those small hooligans no regard at all. After all, in a group fight, the most important factor was to see who was fiercer than the other—they had an ax each, who did they need to fear!

Since they had already seen each other, Hong Dali and his group alighted from the cars. By this time, the hooligans had already surrounded them. Their expressions were quite frightening and malevolent, but Hong Dali totally ignored them. He just stood there and smiled coldly towards the entrance to Wan Hao nightclub. The hooligans were slightly dazed—they had probably never seen before people coming for a fight and bringing along women and old people with them. What was even more surprising for them was that the leading Young Master seemed to be quite familiar…

At this time, two extra people appeared in front of the entrance to the nightclub. The entrance was a revolving door, but these two people were standing outside guarding the door instead of standing inside. It was obvious that they were bouncers. They were still quite polite and asked from afar, “Are you guys here to cause trouble?”

This was probably the first time that the words “cause trouble” were said so politely ever since they were was created.

Hong Dali: “Something like that. You can also say that I’m here to find someone.”

“Then, please hold on a moment.” These two bouncers had probably heard that Hong Dali had real fighting experts on his side, so they were obedient like cats instead of their usual behavior. “We will ask our boss to come out now.”

Then, they went in.

Hong Dali touched his nose and looked at Tang Muxin who was beside him. “Xinxin, do you think they will bring out a table, then we will sit down, drink tea and talk?”

Tang Muxin violently nodded. “I think this is possible!”

Actually, it wasn’t because they were scared by Hong Dali’s behavior and appearance. The main reason was—just seeing the three Prayer Angels and the Soaring Angel alone was enough to scare them. Even if Yao Tianhao had ten guts, he would also not dare to immediately start a fight with them.

As Hong Dali and the rest were waiting for them to ask Yao Tianhao to come out, a hooligan suddenly shouted, “You are Chui Chui! You are my favorite Chui Chui!”

Then, the hooligan who had “Chui Chui, I Love You” tattooed on his elbow pounced on Hong Dali and hugged his leg, disregarding the fact that he might be beaten up. “Chui Chui, you are Chui Chui! My favorite Chui Chui!” Then, he started crying. “Chui Chui, it’s me! I’m your fan who refreshes the website every day! From day to night, I keep refreshing So Cool’s website. When willUnexpectedly! release the second episode! Can you give me some insider info, please!?”

“…” Hong Dali softly said, “Get up, quickly get up! This is embarrassing!”

“No! I shan’t!” The small hooligan actually started acting coquettishly. “If you don’t tell me when the second episode will be released, I will not get up today!”
