Pang Zhen’s heart was restless.
Hadn't Luo Tianyou hired that expert from Qingcheng Mountain to kill Chen Nan?
Then why was it Luo Tianyou who was injured instead?
Could it be… that even the expert from Qingcheng Mountain couldn't defeat Chen Nan?
That must be it!
Otherwise, a scion of a prominent family like Luo Tianyou wouldn't have involved the judicial authorities.
Thinking this, he said with a smile, "As long as Young Master Luo sues Chen Nan for intentional assault, I can send him back to prison again!"
"Send him back to prison again?" Luo Tianyou frowned, catching the phrase.
Pang Zhen said, "Young Master Luo may not know, but this Chen Nan injured Young Master Zhao Yuan three years ago. I handled that case myself. He was convicted of provoking trouble. He was released from prison only a few days ago."
"So that's how it is!" Luo Tianyou changed the subject, "I heard you also want to get rid of Chen Nan?"
Pang Zhen said, "To be honest, Young Master Luo, Chen Nan doesn't respect me at all. He even said he would judge me. If I don't get rid of him, I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace!"
Luo Tianyou asked no further questions.
He knew exactly what kind of person Pang Zhen was.
Luo Tianyou said weakly, "I just had surgery today and am quite weak. I will contact the enforcement team tomorrow and report Chen Nan to the police. Once the case is transferred to your department, I hope Mr. Pang can severely punish Chen Nan."
"Rest assured, Young Master Luo. Chen Nan has just been released and is still on probation. Now that he has openly committed violence, he can be sentenced to at least seven years." Pang Zhen showed a sinister look. "With the influence of the Luo family, it would be easy to get rid of him in prison without anyone noticing."
Luo Tianyou’s eyes flashed with cold light. "I will surely toy with him to death then!"
------
Three in the afternoon.
Chen Nan arrived at the Serene Tea House.
"I'm sorry, sir, but our tea house has been booked out. We are not open to the public this afternoon!" the waitress said apologetically, blocking Chen Nan.
"Alright then!"
Chen Nan didn't say anything more. He wanted to call Zhang Hu but found his phone was out of battery and powered off.
So, he decided to wait for Zhang Hu at the entrance of the tea house.
After about ten minutes, a white Toyota SUV drove up.
"Why aren't you going in?" Zhang Hu got out, a cigarette in his mouth.
Chen Nan shrugged. "This place has been booked out."
"So what if it's booked out?" Zhang Hu said with a fierce expression. "I promised to treat you to tea, and you can't make me lose face, can you?"
With that, he walked towards the tea house.
Zhang Hu genuinely liked the Chen sisters, so he wanted to show off to Chen Nan.
If he could impress Chen Nan, perhaps he could marry one of the sisters.
"Brother Zhang, I'm truly sorry, but the tea house has been booked out today, and we cannot accommodate you!"
The duty manager of the tea house greeted him with an obsequious smile.
"Xu Chao, have your wings grown strong enough to push me away? Do you believe I can make you unable to stay in Nancheng?"
Zhang Hu was furious. He had intended to put on a show for Chen Nan.
But he didn't expect the duty manager to not take him seriously at all.
Xu Chao smiled obsequiously. "Brother Zhang, you know our tea house's rules. Please don't make it difficult for me, okay?"
"Damn it!"
Zhang Hu was enraged. "I'm gracing you with my presence by coming here to drink tea. Now you're rejecting me, aren't you slapping my face?"
"That's enough. Others are just following the rules. Why fuss about it?" Chen Nan said indifferently, taking out 300,000 yuan. "Besides, our acquaintance isn't deep enough to sit together and have tea! Take the money, and give me the IOU!"
"That won't do. I promised to treat you to tea. If I break my word today, how can I establish myself in the martial world later?" Zhang Hu angrily walked into the tea house. "I want to see who booked this place and dares to reject me, Zhang Hu!"
Sun Sihai walked down from the second floor with a blank expression. "So what if we reject you? Who do you think you are?"
"Yo, Fourth Brother!" Zhang Hu immediately put on a smiling face. "Brother didn't know you were here for tea. Um, all expenses today are on me. This tea is on me!"
Zhang Hu was very wary of Sun Sihai.
After all, he had many elite subordinates.
Let alone him, even his backer, the overlord of Nancheng, Master Long, wouldn't dare to offend Sun Sihai lightly.
Sun Sihai sneered. "What right do you have to treat me to tea?"
"Fourth Brother, I'm Master Long's man. They say you don't hit a dog without looking at its owner. Aren't you being a bit too unreasonable?"
A surge of anger rose in Zhang Hu’s heart. He could only invoke Master Long to intimidate Sun Sihai.
He didn't want to lose face in front of Chen Nan.
Sun Sihai turned his head towards the second floor. "Wu Long, your subordinate said you don't hit a dog without looking at its owner. Is he threatening me?"
As he spoke, a thin figure scurried up to the first floor with a fawning expression. "Fourth Master, you jest. If you hit me, it would be my honor!"
What the hell!
What happened?
Zhang Hu's scalp tingled.
I only went away for a few days.
Why is Master Long so deferential to Sun Sihai?
Just then.
A tall figure walked down from the second floor.
"Fifth Master?"
Seeing Li Pingan, Zhang Hu's heart skipped a beat, and his breathing became rapid.
He never expected to encounter Li Pingan here.
He didn't expect him to appear in the Nancheng district.
And to have booked out the Serene Tea House.
Thinking this, he quickly said, "Fifth Master, this humble one didn't know you were here for tea. Please forgive me for any offense!"
His posture was very low, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Heaven knows.
If he had known earlier that Li Pingan was here for tea, he would never have dared to disturb his peace.
Li Pingan didn't even glance at Zhang Hu. His tone was indifferent. "Wu Long, from now on, hand over all your work to Sihai and assist him well to consolidate his position in Nancheng."
"I don't care how chaotic Nancheng was before, but now, the situation in Nancheng must be stabilized."
"Most importantly, tell your subordinates not to provoke the Ancestor."
Wu Long respectfully replied, "Fifth Master, rest assured, I will fulfill your instructions."
Zhang Hu's scalp tingled.
Has the ruler of Nancheng changed?
What on earth is this all about?
And.
Who is this Ancestor that Fifth Master Li mentioned?
Heaven knows.
I just went on vacation in Sanya for a few days, why do I feel so out of sync with this world?
Can someone tell me what happened during the days I was away?
Before he could react, Li Pingan had already walked out of the tea house.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he had inadvertently disturbed Fifth Master's peace earlier.
But he was magnanimous and didn't blame him!
I'm so happy!
Just as Zhang Hu was feeling relieved, he was horrified to discover that Fifth Master Li, who had walked out of the tea house, knelt before Chen Nan like a subservient grandson, exclaiming, "This junior did not know of the Ancestor's presence. I beg the Ancestor for punishment!"
