"Silly Miaomiao."
Watching Miaomiao's face filled with excessive fright, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh and cry as he pinched her tender cheeks.
He then hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and instructed, "Stay in the car and sit tight, I'm going to get out and handle this, okay?"
"Mhm! Miaomiao will listen to everything Brother Qianfan says."
At this moment, the young man before her seemed like a Heavenly God towering above the clouds, full of awe-inspiring grandeur; Miaomiao looked up to him with adoration and quickly nodded in agreement like a pecking chick.
"Sister-in-law, my name is Han Dongxu, you can just call me Xiao Han. If there's anything you need, just look for me."
"What are you standing around dumbfounded for? Call out to her!"
Just then, Han Dongxu, who was waiting outside the car, buttered her up with a broad grin.
Following his order, the thousands gathered outside shouted in unison, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
The overwhelming greeting shocked Miaomiao in the car; she instinctively shrank back, and then her fair cheeks flushed like a fiery sunset in her bashfulness.
"You... hello..."
She timidly greeted back and then her gaze covertly shifted towards Xu Fan beside her.
In her eyes, everything else vanished, leaving only this young man; at this moment, she felt as if she was the happiest woman in the world.
"Ouch!"
Xu Fan, having stepped out of the car, unceremoniously kicked Han Dongxu's rear.
Narrowing his eyes and observing Han Dongxu's grimacing face, Xu Fan hummed, "Boss Han, you sure have a slick way with flattery, huh?"
"Hehe, hehe, my lord, I...I was just trying to cheer up the sister-in-law..."
Han Dongxu chuckled while rubbing his backside, offering up an explanation.
"Enough with the act, go check on things," Xu Fan said, giving Han Dongxu a glare before walking over to where Liu Cancan was.
Not only had she been beaten up, but the previously disdainful Liu Cancan was stunned by the young man's revealed identity.
At this point, both her body and spirit were greatly struck; there wasn't a trace of her former arrogance.
Now, as Xu Fan approached, Liu Cancan sat on the ground, unable to utter a single word.
Without stooping to her level, Xu Fan tilted his head towards the suited man nearby and asked, "Are you her backer?"
The man in the suit, who had been rendered dumbfounded by his earlier slip of the tongue, watched Xu Fan approach, half-expecting death to be imminent.
However, Xu Fan didn't punish him, and like climbing from the Abyss, the man felt a glimmer of hope.
"Hehe, Xu... Lord Xu, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. She... she is our boss's woman..."
Showing no anger was a sign of a slim chance of survival; the suited man now fawned over Xu Fan with a wagging tail, wishing he could spill his guts.
"Is that so? Who's your boss?"
As Xu Fan inquired, the suited man hastily explained with a smile, "Liu Jin. You can just call him Xiao Liu. He's with the Sanfu Gang, not sure if you've heard of them..."
Though the Sanfu Gang had some fame in Shanghai, compared to Han Dongxu, they were not even close.
Well aware that his Family Head wouldn't bother with such low-end rabble, Han Dongxu whispered in Xu Fan's ear, "Family Head, this Liu Jin is at best second or third-rate."
"Mhm."
Xu Fan nodded and said, "As the saying goes, a dog emboldened by its master's power. Since you've caused trouble today, let him come and bail you out."
"Eh... eh..."
The suited man didn't dare show the slightest dissatisfaction with Xu Fan's command; he nodded vigorously like a pecking chick and took out his phone.
"Hello... hello, Brother Jin, it's me. There's been trouble. Please come and bail out me and the sister-in-law. We're at..."
The phone connected, and the man in the suit started to explain in a hushed tone.
"Fuck. His. Mother. Someone dares to mess with my people in Shanghai? I'm coming over now!"
He had just finished briefing the situation and hadn't yet had time to inform Liu Jin that what they had kicked was the Qing Gang's iron plate, which could not be moved. Liu Jin, furious and frantic, hung up the phone immediately.
"Didn't expect that your big brother is quite arrogant, huh?"
Seeing Xu Fan looking at him, the man in the suit's face turned green.
He knew all too well the fiery temper of his own boss, but today, this temper was likely to bring him no small trouble.
"Alright, then let's just wait and see."
Xu Fan, along with Han Dongxu, began to wait.
About fifteen minutes passed when a Highlander charged their way from a distance.
"Motherfucker, which blind..."
Four cars stopped, and a portly middle-aged man, somewhat drunk, jumped out of one.
His threatening tirade hadn't even reached the halfway point before it got stuck in his throat.
Looking at the pairs of eyes staring at him from the front, the drunkenness in Liu Jin dissipated instantly with a sweep of the night wind.
With a clang, Liu Jin, now sober, didn't hesitate to throw away the item in his hand.
"Heh heh heh, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, Brother Han, it's you... Look, this is all a misunderstanding!"
He had thought that with his reputation as the boss of the Heavenly God gang, he could handle it alone.
Who would have known that after dozing off in the car, he would be greeted by this scene as he got out?
Liu Jin's demeanor changed in an instant, a smile plastered on his face as he approached Han Dongxu.
"Liu Fatty, you think you're pretty badass? Trying to emulate Guan Erye by going into battle alone?"
As Liu Jin approached, Han Dongxu didn't hold back and slapped his face several times.
"..."
Bracing himself, Liu Jin bore this series of slaps without the slightest hint of anger and then smiled at Han Dongxu, "Boss Han, you really pack a punch…"
Sniggering, Liu Jin gestured with winks and nudges to the suited man.
The message was clear, why hadn't he been informed about the situation?
The man in the suit looked like he was on the verge of tears. Goddamn it, I'd have loved to say something if you had given me the chance!
"Are you not kneeling down?"
At Han Dongxu's thunderous shout, Liu Jin swiftly knelt down.
"Big Boss Han, I... I was wrong. Isn't that enough..."
"Hmph, Liu Fatty, today you're lucky that my family head was in a good mood and sent me to deal with you. Otherwise, the outcome wouldn't be this simple for you," Han Dongxu scolded directly.
A mere hundred men, with the skill of their own boss, there was no need for him to come and handle this personally.
Han Dongxu knew very well that the only reason his boss didn't come himself was to avoid dirtying his hands.
After the reprimand, Han Dongxu stepped back behind Xu Fan and said, "Boss, you ask."
"Hmm."
Xu Fan nodded, then turned his gaze towards Liu Jin, who was sneaking glances at him.
"Boss Liu, having fun, are we?"
