His tone suddenly shifted.
"This way, the three of you will apologize to young Shan, cough, to young master Feng. If he forgives you, then there's no problem."
Before the three had a chance to speak, Feng Du interjected, "What if I don't forgive you?"
"If you don't forgive them, then you'll have to resolve it yourselves."
Li Chonglou's warning had also had an effect. Liu Rui understood that if he continued to entangle himself, it would only damage his own reputation. If this continued, his own grandfather would find trouble with him, so there was no need for that.
However, after speaking, Liu Rui did not leave. Instead, he stood aside with six men in black.
"Everyone, rest assured, I, Liu Fang, have always respected guests the most. Today was just a small misunderstanding. With me here, you can all be at ease."
Liu Rui shouted to the crowd. It was only then that A Dong reacted.
"What? You want me to apologize to him?"
A Hai also said with a dark expression, "What a joke! He was the one who came to provoke us first. Is your so-called Liu Fang a place where acquaintances can gang up to bully strangers?"
A Hai also wanted to use Li Chonglou's tactic, but he failed to grasp the situation properly, achieving the opposite effect.
Liu Rui's face also turned grim. "Please watch your words. It's not your place to dictate to me at Liu Fang!"
A Hai was not intimidated by the other's imposing presence and stared directly at him.
Feng Du chuckled, looking at Li Chonglou and the other two with disdain, "Are you three deaf? Do you want someone to put on a show for you? Still not apologizing to me."
Although Liu Rui had spoken, the attention of the crowd at the scene was still focused on them.
Originally, if it were just a private dispute, the two could have endured it, but now, in full view of everyone, unless they were willing to let their identity as members of the Green Gang be known, it would no longer be a matter of just their own pride.
If this kind of thing were to spread back to Shangjing, it would absolutely be used as a laughingstock by their competitors!
Therefore, how could A Dong and the other endure it!
"Apologize to your mother! If you have the guts, then fight. We from the Green Gang are not afraid of trouble!"
The two acted as if they had nothing to lose, stepping forward, appearing ready to fight if provoked.
Feng Du sneered, "I don't care if you're the Green Gang or the Red Gang. Old Liu, you've seen it. I wanted to give you face, but someone doesn't want it."
This once again dragged Liu Rui into it, and his expression darkened.
Just as he was about to speak, a man in black behind him suddenly stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.
Liu Rui's expression shifted several times, and finally, his brow furrowed tightly.
"Wait a moment, you said you were from the Green Gang just now? Shangjing Green Gang?"
A Dong said coldly, "How many Green Gangs are there in Shangjing?"
Feng Du frowned, "What Green Gang?"
He didn't know, but the bodyguards following him did.
"Young master, that is one of the four largest gangs in Shangjing. Even the family head would have to show some deference to their leader."
Deference was an understatement; a small regional power like theirs wasn't even qualified to meet them.
However, A Dong did not expose him, nor did he intend to bully people using the name of the Shangjing Green Gang. In fact, he was already prepared to flee for his life.
Members of the Green Gang were never cowards. When traveling outside, the honor that came with this identity was even more important than life itself!
Seeing that A Dong was about to make a move, Liu Rui quickly said, "Wait!"
"If you want to fight, go outside and fight. Don't disturb other guests here!"
Liu Rui's gaze was sharp.
"And you, Green Gang, this is not Shangjing. No matter how great your influence, it's not your place to act arrogantly here."
A Dong immediately retorted, "I am merely defending my gang's reputation. It is obvious to anyone who is acting arrogantly!"
The double entendre caused both Liu Rui and Feng Du's expressions to change slightly.
Feng Du said sternly, "So what if you're the Shangjing Green Gang? This is Feng Town! Are you, the Shangjing Green Gang, the heads of all gangs in the country?"
A Dong frowned, "I never said that."
"Alright, you can go out and cause trouble later. Private fighting is not allowed here!"
Liu Rui directly issued an eviction notice.
Feng Du was not afraid and directly issued a harsh threat, "If you have the guts, come out. I don't care what Green Gang you are, this is my territory!"
"Let's go! Am I afraid of you? There are no cowards in the Green Gang!"
The two were about to move out first when a large hand suddenly stopped them.
"Brother Hua, you don't need to worry about this. You just need to complete your mission. The prestige of the Green Gang cannot be tarnished because of us!"
Li Chonglou said helplessly, "You still remember the mission? Do you think all this commotion will scare people away?"
"Ah."
The two froze.
Seeing this, Li Chonglou couldn't help but shake his head. As expected, those who preferred to use force tended to act impulsively.
For a provocation from someone they didn't even know, whose name they didn't even know, they forgot their original objective. This kind of disposition was why Sister Feng would rather entrust the mission to an outsider like him than to the two of them.
However, the two did not know that this was also a blessing in disguise. Li Chonglou had been using his Heavenly Eye Clairvoyance ability to observe their surroundings. After their identities as members of the Green Gang were exposed, a man dressed as a middle-aged uncle quietly left.
At this moment, he was almost out of the basement door.
Everyone else was watching the commotion, but he was the one sneaking away. One didn't need to guess to know his identity.
It was only then that A Dong and the other realized they had ruined everything.
"It's over, what should we do now?"
He glanced at Feng Du, who clearly showed no intention of backing down. The two of them could not escape.
And if it were just Li Chonglou alone, even if he could catch up to the person, the one who died might not be him.
From the scene of the crime at the beginning, the other party was either a professional killer or someone with a twisted psyche, otherwise, they wouldn't have behaved like that.
Li Chonglou suddenly took out his phone.
"I'll call Sister Feng to ask. Your Feng family may not fear him, but someone else will."
Liu Rui's expression changed drastically. "What do you mean!"
Li Chonglou smiled faintly, "Nothing, I just want to remind you that Shangjing, as the center of China, having an influence that is one of the four major gangs within it, may very well be able to extend its reach beyond Shangjing."
A reminder, this was clearly a threat!
However, what Li Chonglou said was the truth, and Liu Rui didn't know how to refute him for a moment.
A Dong hesitated, "Should we trouble Sister Feng with this?"
Li Chonglou rolled his eyes, "Then do you have a solution now?"
No.
"Hurry up, let's go out first."
Li Chonglou glanced towards the exit. The guy was already greeting the security guards at the door.
If he didn't follow, even with the Heavenly Eye Clairvoyance ability, he might lose him.
A Dong, with a look of inner struggle, took out his phone and was about to dial when Uncle Fu's voice came from behind him.
"What's wrong?"
