Opening a business, harmony is valued, so the manager had no choice but to call He Dong.
At this time, the boss, He Dong, was on a business trip out of town. He received a call from the manager in Haicheng and asked, "Manager Lu, what is it?"
Manager Lu glanced at the middle-aged guest and said, "Boss, a five-star VIP is dining in the Shang Shu Fang today. Before the VIP finished their meal, another guest arrived and demanded that the Shang Shu Fang be vacated for them."
He Dong asked, "A five-star VIP? Who is it?"
"A Mr. Ye," Manager Lu replied.
He Dong's heart skipped a beat. "Is it Ye Tian?"
Manager Lu: "Yes, boss."
He Dong said sternly, "Listen carefully, no matter who the new guest is, they are not to disturb Mr. Ye. Hand the phone over to the new guest."
Manager Lu handed the phone to the middle-aged man, saying, "This is our boss's call."
The middle-aged man took the phone and said coldly, "He, your manager is quite arrogant, not even giving my face, Ma Xingkong!"
Upon hearing the name, He Dong was startled. Ma Xingkong was a well-known boxing master in Haicheng. His disciples were spread across streets and towns, all local bullies. He was a formidable character.
He Dong immediately smiled and said, "So it's Master Ma Wu! Master, the Shang Shu Fang is a place belonging to a friend of mine. How about this, I'll have the manager tidy up my study. The environment there is also good, no less than the Shang Shu Fang."
Ma Xingkong sneered, "Boss He, if I were dining alone, it would be fine. But today, I've invited Master Bai Jiu from Lucheng. You must have heard of Master Jiu's reputation. He is a Hua Jin Grandmaster. I have something to ask of Master Bai Jiu, and I must entertain him in the Shang Shu Fang today, otherwise, where would my face be?"
He Dong was immediately put in a difficult position. While he didn't want to offend Ma Xingkong, Ye Tian had saved his life, and he had to protect him at all costs.
After a moment of thought, He Dong said, "Master, perhaps you could wait a bit longer? Maybe my friend will leave soon."
Ma Xingkong became curious and couldn't help but ask, "Boss He, who exactly is your friend that you are defending so fiercely?"
He Dong smiled and said, "He is a divine doctor, named Ye, and he saved my life."
Ma Xingkong frowned, "Just a doctor. Boss He, if you're not comfortable handling this, I'll go talk to him!"
With that, Ma Xingkong hung up the phone, pushed past Manager Lu, and headed upstairs. Manager Lu was shocked and said, "Mr. Ma..."
However, Ma Xingkong was too fast and rushed up to the second floor in a few steps.
Seeing this, Luo Shiping's spirit was lifted. He thought, "Ye Tian, Ye Tian, let's see how you handle this situation." He then followed them upstairs.
Ye Tian was dining with Lin Ziyi when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Ma Xingkong, followed by his subordinates, burst in.
Ma Xingkong's gaze swept around and he said to Wu Bei, "Friend, I will be entertaining guests in this Shang Shu Fang shortly. Please leave. I will cover your expenses."
Manager Lu also rushed up, bowing repeatedly to Ye Tian, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I couldn't stop him."
Ye Tian looked at Ma Xingkong and said calmly, "Get out."
Ma Xingkong was furious. In Haicheng, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that. He said sternly, "Kid, do you know who I am?"
Ye Tian, who had rarely taken Lin Ziyi out for a meal, was annoyed by the interruption. His expression turned cold, and he said, "If you don't leave now, no one will be able to save you."
"You're seeking death!"
Ma Xingkong was enraged. He took two steps towards Ye Tian, his palm emitting a layer of black energy as he struck towards Ye Tian's shoulder. He practiced the extremely sinister Black Sand Palm, which was fatal to anyone struck by it!
As he attacked, Ye Tian didn't even look. He simply waved his hand and struck back with a palm. Their palms met with a muffled thud. Ma Xingkong felt a surge of immense force flow into his arm, causing him to stagger backward. Subsequently, his arm went numb, and his entire side felt a sharp pain. A bad premonition struck him.
