"Alright, cut the crap. I'm on my way now!"
Xu Fan and his crew were nearby, and Hu Busan didn't dilly-dally. After giving his notice, he immediately hung up.
Clearly, Hu Busan had run into trouble. As soon as he hung up, Xu Fan asked, "Hu Busan, what happened?"
"Boss, there's trouble at the Night Drunk Bar..."
The Night Drunk Bar was the pet project of Hu Busan, and it had recently become Jinling's hottest club.
According to his subordinates, a bunch of cops had shown up and found some contraband in the bar, and they were about to shut it down.
Luckily, Hu Busan had been cautious from the start; the bar's legal person was not under his name. Otherwise, he'd be behind bars right now.
"Hu Busan, have you lost your damn mind over money? Daring to mess with that stuff? Forgot the rules of Lingyan Pavilion?"
Before Xu Fan could speak, Zhou Zhanlong, with a face full of fury, was ready to lay into him!
Since its foundation, Lingyan Pavilion had a rule against dealing with drugs, and Xu Fan had further emphasized this after taking over.
Right now, Hu Busan had broken a cardinal rule!
"Do you think I don't know that?"
Hu Busan was already pissed and shot Zhou Zhanlong a glare.
"Do you think I can't differentiate between money I should and shouldn't make?"
"This is definitely someone setting me up!"
Seeing that the group was about to start arguing, Xu Fan waved his hand and said, "Everybody just shut up for a minute."
Hu Busan was known for his strict discipline over his subordinates. He had been to the Night Drunk Bar and had never noticed anything illegal.
This matter was most likely a set-up from an outsider.
Xu Fan looked at Hu Busan and said, "Hu Busan, I'm going with you now."
"Boss, I'm coming too!"
...
The group left the clubhouse and headed straight for the Night Drunk Bar.
By the time they arrived at the Night Drunk Bar, it was around nine in the evening.
Usually, this time would be the peak business hours for the Night Drunk Bar, but tonight, it was unusually quiet.
Forget about bustling, there wasn't a soul in sight at the entrance...
"Boss, you've arrived..."
"Quit the damn chitchat and take me inside."
The group entered the bar and quickly encountered Hu Busan's subordinates.
Hu Busan was fuming with anger at that moment, in no mood for their nonsense. He glared at one of them and motioned to be taken inside.
Walking inside, the usually crowded dance floor was now empty, save for a few staff members who looked utterly dejected and scattered around.
Clearly, the police that had come to shut the place down had left before Xu Fan and his crew arrived.
With the Night Drunk Bar sealed, naturally, the customers had also dispersed...
"They've taken the people away, and then Heizi was also..."
Heizi was the legal representative of the Night Drunk Bar. With the bar in this situation, he had no chance of defending himself and was taken away in handcuffs.
After hearing his subordinate's explanation, Hu Busan, with a stern face, asked, "Which blind sod dared to deal drugs here?"
Basically, no one in Jinling should have the guts to pull off such a thing, and Hu Busan was curious to know which death-seeking fool had done it.
His subordinate wore an awkward smile. Hu Busan had always emphasized the necessity to watch carefully and not let those things in.
If they found anyone so reckless, they should drag them out and cripple them.
But this time, they were helpless.
"Boss, those guys didn't seem like the type to sell that stuff. They looked more like a bunch of rich second-generation kids," one subordinate reported.
"As soon as they arrived, they ordered the most expensive wine. We thought they were just wealthy people here to have fun, so we didn't pay much attention."
"Who could've known..."
This time, they had clearly been set up, probably even the police had been arranged in advance.
Having heard the full story, Hu Busan was so angry that he kicked over the table in front of him.
"Fuck, if I find out who did this!"
The bar got suspended, the loss was immeasurable, and Hu Busan felt like killing someone.
Xu Fan furrowed his brows in thought, about to ask questions, when suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the entrance.
"My oh my, I thought this Night Drunk bar was a busy place?"
"Why is it so quiet? Could it be that the cops shut it down?"
The voice carried palpable mockery, and Hu Busan, following the sound, saw Ke Longxiang entering with a bunch of people; his eyes instantly turned red with rage!
His mind was sharp, and now with the guests arriving, how could he not understand who had screwed him over?
He grabbed a liquor bottle from the table, ready to go at it with Ke Longxiang.
"Master!"
But before he could charge over, Xu Fan reached out his hand and blocked him directly.
"Yo? Xu Fan, what a coincidence?"
"Didn't expect to run into you here, huh?"
"However, it seems your friend here doesn't quite like me, does he?"
With a smirk on his face, Ke Longxiang saw Xu Fan's composed appearance and couldn't help but sneer.
This guy, having been outplayed by him, still managed to keep his composure—truly impressive…
"Ke Longxiang, had enough fun yet?"
Suddenly, Xu Fan looked over emotionlessly. Ke Longxiang was startled and then burst into laughter.
"What? Xu Fan, are you trying to scare me?"
"You think I could be afraid of you?"
"Humph, let me tell you, today's event is just an appetizer, there's a lot more waiting for you."
"I really don't understand why you would choose to follow such a person. How about, you guys come with me?"
"I'll take you to make more money, how about that?"
"Naive…"
Watching Ke Longxiang trying to tempt his people to switch sides, Xu Fan shook his head dismissively.
This guy probably didn't realize what it meant to be a lamb in a tiger's den.
"Hu Busan, I don't want to hear this guy's noise in my ear anymore."
Xu Fan had no interest in wasting words with this pampered, self-proclaimed invincible Crown Prince, so he looked indifferently at Hu Busan and walked towards the bar himself.
"Give me a bottle of whiskey."
"Y-yes, sir…"
The bartender behind the bar nodded meekly, poured a glass for Xu Fan, and then cautiously looked over at Hu Busan.
He just couldn't understand where this guy got his confidence from…
"You… you guys, what are you trying to do!"
Seeing the people in the bar close in on their group, Ke Longxiang couldn't help but become nervous.
He realized he might have overplayed his hand.
"I... I'll have you know, this, this is a society ruled by law!"
"A society ruled by law?"
Hu Busan, his eyes burning with fury, sneered, glancing at Ke Longxiang.
His beloved Night Drunk bar was sealed off because of this punk's nonsense.
He had the audacity to talk about law after framing him with drugs?
"Zhou Zhanlong."
Grinding his teeth, Hu Busan called out the name Zhou Zhanlong.
Zhou Zhanlong moved towards Ke Longxiang with a malicious grin on his face.
Seeing Ke Longxiang's bodyguards, excitement filled his eyes.
Cracking his neck, the bone-crunching sounds resonating, Zhou Zhanlong muttered, "Kid, Jinling is not a place for you to play house!"
