"Hmm, I suppose so."
As Xu Fan tasted the complex expressions on Liu Cancan's face, he slightly nodded his head.
Now, under Han Dongxu's command, integrating the Ke Family's various forces, things were no longer as they used to be. At his call, it was nothing to gather thousands of people.
"This..."
Liu Cancan grimaced awkwardly, his forehead covered with cold sweat that trickled down like rain.
It was hard to imagine that this young man possessed such immense energy, able to summon so many people in an instant.
Turning his head, looking at the hundreds of men he had been proud of just minutes ago, Liu Cancan's expression became even more uncomfortable.
Clearly, the young man before him was an unmovable iron plate, and now that he had caused such a disaster, even if he managed to survive this ordeal, his brother probably wouldn't spare him.
At this moment, the flow of cars from all directions stopped abruptly, and beams of light projected from the headlights onto Liu Cancan and his group, who were surrounded in the middle.
In an instant, the area was as bright as day! The horror on the faces of the hundreds was unmistakable and inescapable.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another, car doors opened, and out stepped burly men in suits and leather shoes.
Unlike Liu Cancan's group, there wasn't a hint of street thug air on their faces, but rather, genuine murderous intent!
"Han... Han Ye's men..."
Soon, someone sharp-eyed among Liu Cancan's group recognized the source of this unexpected armed force.
As Han Dongxu, now a dominant figure in Shanghai's underground world, approached with a crowd surrounding him, the weapons clutched in the hands of this hundred-plus strong group felt like they weighed a ton.
Clang! Clatter! With fear spreading in their hearts, they could no longer hold onto the deadly weapons; without hesitation, they dropped their arms one after the other.
"You..."
The hundred-plus men who had been backing him all stepped back in fear, quickly retreating three or four steps. In a moment, Liu Cancan was thrust into the most treacherous position.
Subconsciously wanting to flee on his now jelly-like legs, he looked around, but there was no escape route in sight.
"Han Ye... Han Ye, it's... it's me, we've... we've met before, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
At this time, one of the men by Liu Cancan's side bent over and started to curry favor with Han Dongxu, who wasn't far away.
What made him uneasy was that Han Dongxu didn't listen to a word of his explanation.
At this moment, surrounded by his men, Han Dongxu lit the cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Through the swirling smoke, Han Dongxu's slender eyes narrowed.
From between his lips, he faintly exhaled two words.
"Take action."
It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm pond, and suddenly, these thousands of men, like dark clouds, burst into action.
This was destined to be a one-sided slaughter.
Without any resistance, nor daring any, Liu Cancan and his group could only willingly endure the beating.
Screams echoed one after another, while Miaomiao, sitting in the car, tensed up.
Just minutes before, Liu Cancan's group had been as arrogant as could be, but now, they were being beaten like worthless stray dogs.
She stared blankly, her gaze falling on Han Dongxu outside the car who calmly puffed on his cigarette.
With the bootlicking attempts at pleading from Liu Cancan's side and her years of experience in Shanghai, she was certain that this man could be none other than Han Dongxu, the current ruler of Shanghai's underworld.
"Brother Xu Fan..."
It was the first time Miaomiao had witnessed a gang boss of such stature, and her face filled with amazement beyond words.
Swallowing hard, she turned to look at Xu Fan beside her.
To be able to summon such a person, clearly, her lover Xu Fan had a close relationship with Han Dongxu.
"Outside... that person outside, he couldn't possibly be your godfather, could he?"
From the standpoint of age, Miaomiao felt it was a possibility, especially since Han Dongxu wouldn't likely summon so many people for someone with just a normal relationship, right?
"Pfft, silly Miaomiao."
Looking at the girl's curiously cute manner, Xu Fan couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
"Stop."
If they continued to fight, he feared the hundreds of people would end up lying dead in the street. At that moment, Han Dongxu tossed his cigarette butt down, stamped it out, and then called for everyone to halt.
With gleaming leather shoes tapping against the ground, Han Dongxu walked directly towards Liu Cancan and his group.
"Master Han... Master Han, spare us, we truly... truly didn't know this young master was your godson..."
The suit-clad man, gasping for air, crawled towards Han Dongxu, his bruised face etched with regret.
If he had known this young man had such a background, he wouldn't have dared to block his car even if it killed him.
"Bullshitting!"
The pleas for mercy garnered not a shred of sympathy at that moment, as Han Dongxu stepped forward and directly smashed his leather shoe into the man's face.
Let alone him, the thousands around them all cast murderous glances.
"..."
The man in the suit nearly fainted from fright, looking at Han Dongxu as timidly as a mouse facing a cat, not understanding what he had done wrong.
"Kid, you can mess up your food, but you mess up your words, and it's going to get you killed."
Uttering such heart-stabbing words in front of his own boss, Han Dongxu became intent on killing.
He glared fiercely at the man, then walked over to Xu Fan's car.
"Heh heh, master, I came in a bit of a rush, so I only brought this many people. I hope you won't mind."
Approaching Xu Fan's car window, Han Dongxu bowed and, smiling, began to explain.
His voice wasn't loud but struck like a thunderbolt, stunning Liu Cancan and his gang.
"This..."
Looking at Han Dongxu, who had been like a god of death just moments ago but was now humbly waiting in front of the young man's car, Liu Cancan and his group nearly popped their eyeballs out...
With such an apparent disparity in status, how could they all not realize what the man in the suit had done wrong?
"It's... it's over..."
The man in the suit knelt on the ground, looking at the young man in the car not far away with a complexion pale as death.
Mispeaking that one sentence tonight might just cost him his life!
Goosebumps spread across his body, and quickly, a name surfaced in his mind.
A name that had shocked the entire Shanghai in recent days.
Xu Fan.
The young man sitting in the car most likely was Xu Fan, who had been stirring up Shanghai these past days.
The Pavilion Master of Lingyan Pavilion in Jinling, Xu Fan!
"Qianfan brother, he... how come he's calling you master?"
Inside the car, Miaomiao was hideously scared and hid behind Xu Fan. She looked at the man filled with smiles inside the car with an expression of disbelief.
In the brief span before, she had conjured countless possible relationships between them in her mind, yet the only possibility she did not dare to even consider...
Even the Qing Gang boss submits to him...
Miaomiao's mind couldn't help but recall Xu Fan's words before he parked the car.
I, Xu Fan, am the greatest support.
