Chapter 370 Offended Black Tiger?
Tang Yunpeng was stunned. He looked at the young man with a cold sneer. "Kid, are you looking for death? Do you believe I can have you lying dead in the street with just a word?"
As soon as he said this, the surroundings instantly turned cold.
Aunt Tang, full of worry, quickly spoke, "Yunpeng, Chen Xuan is ignorant. Your eldest sister apologizes to you here."
Tang Yunpeng turned to look at Aunt Tang, still full of official authority, speaking in an official tone, and adopting a condescending attitude. "Elder sister, it's not that I'm saying this, but in the future, when you make friends, you should have some discernment. Don't bring any swindlers or poor folks home."
Aunt Tang could only nod quickly, "I know, I know. Let's just let this slide this time."
In front of Tang Yunpeng, Aunt Tang was as humble as dirt on the sole of a shoe.
"It's the New Year, let's be auspicious. I'll let you off this time."
Tang Yunpeng glared at Chen Xuan and then ignored him.
Tang Yunpeng wasn't letting Chen Xuan off the hook. He was vindictive and cared about his reputation. Agreeing to Aunt Tang's request made him seem magnanimous and filial, but in reality, he was already thinking about how to deal with Chen Xuan.
After a few rounds of wine and several dishes, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill. Many people, emboldened by the alcohol, approached Tang Yunpeng to ask for favors. Regardless of the size of the favor, Tang Yunpeng agreed readily and with great generosity. Many people looked at Tang Yunpeng with admiration.
Amidst the flattery, Tang Yunpeng was puffed up with pride.
"Yunpeng, I want to send my son to Xuanji Hall to learn martial arts, but I can never get him in. Do you have any connections?" a Tang family member asked.
Xuanji Hall was all the rage now, and countless people were scrambling to get in. He had applied for his son several times, but there had been no news.
Tang Yunpeng chuckled, "To be honest, I'm not very familiar with the people behind Xuanji Hall, but we've had a few drinks together. Moreover, I know Black Tiger, the big shot in charge of Xuanji Hall. If I put in a word with Black Tiger, it should be no problem."
"Amazing!"
"You actually know a big shot like Black Tiger!"
"And you've had drinks with the big shots behind Xuanji Hall!"
The Tang family members were full of admiration.
Tang Yunpeng was basking in his moment of glory, but his gaze swept over Chen Xuan. "Young man, as a middleman, you should know Black Tiger, right?"
Before Chen Xuan could speak, Tang Yunpeng continued, "Black Tiger, you probably don't know him. He's a big figure in Jiangzhou's underworld, and currently the person in charge of Xuanji Hall. He's so imposing. If it weren't for me working for Mayor Huang, I'd probably have a hard time getting a word in."
"How about this? Given that you know my elder sister, all you have to do is kowtow to me three times right now, and I'll have Black Tiger sort out your middleman issue."
"Isn't this a good deal? Anyway, people like you have no dignity, and anyone important would kowtow to them a few times."
"Oh, and by the way, when you see Black Tiger again, kowtow to him three times too, just as a New Year's greeting."
Tang Yunpeng narrowed his eyes, staring at Chen Xuan, his gaze filled with a cold glint, as if he had Chen Xuan cornered.
This was exactly how Tang Yunpeng planned to get revenge on Chen Xuan.
"Black Tiger? What is Black Tiger? Ask him if he dares to make me kneel?"
Chen Xuan took a small sip of water and said indifferently.
His casual voice carried a hint of strong disdain, but the mention of Black Tiger's name caused the temperature in the private room to drop several degrees.
"Damn it, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? How many heads do you think you have to dare to say what Black Tiger is?"
Tang Yunpeng slammed the table and stood up, his eyes glaring at Chen Xuan in anger.
Chen Xuan smiled calmly, "I only have one head, but Black Tiger truly doesn't deserve me to kneel to him!"
"You're still smiling? Kid, you're finished. You wait for me. I'm calling Black Tiger right now. You just wait to be ruined!"
Tang Yunpeng was utterly enraged. He turned to Aunt Tang and said, "Elder sister, it's not that I'm not letting this guy off, it's just that this guy is too conceited. If these words get out, he'll bring harm to the entire Tang family!"
The rest of the Tang family also sided with Tang Yunpeng, scolding Aunt Tang loudly, saying she only knew how to bring trouble to the Tang family.
At this moment, Aunt Tang felt like an abandoned child of heaven and earth, lonely and helpless.
Tang Yunpeng took out his phone and found Black Tiger's number, showing it to Chen Xuan. "Tell me, should I call him, or will you kneel?"
"Then call him. I'll wait for him here."
Seeing Aunt Tang's state, Chen Xuan also got angry. He said to Tang Yunpeng with an icy tone.
"Damn it!"
Tang Yunpeng cursed and directly dialed Black Tiger's number. The call was answered almost instantly.
Black Tiger's voice was a bit hoarse. "Hello? Secretary Tang, what is it?"
"Brother Hu, I'm wishing you a Happy New Year."
"New Year's greetings? Damn it!! Don't bother me if it's nothing. What if Mr. Chen calls and I can't answer? Can you bear that?"
Black Tiger's tone was full of disdain.
Tang Yunpeng's face darkened, and he quickly said, "It's like this. Earlier, at the Tang family banquet, a young man spoke disrespectfully to you, saying you were nothing, simply too arrogant."
Black Tiger didn't take it seriously at first, but then he suddenly realized something.
A young man daring to be so arrogant in Jiangzhou, besides that esteemed person, who else would dare to be so bold?
"What's his name?"
"I don't know that yet."
"What does he look like?"
Tang Yunpeng roughly described Chen Xuan's appearance.
Upon hearing this, Black Tiger slapped his thigh and jumped up from his seat. "Good, I'm coming over right away!"
He had tried calling so many times without success, and now he finally knew Mr. Chen's location!
Tang Yunpeng's eyes lit up. "Brother Hu, don't worry, I'll wait for you here."
On the other side.
Black Tiger hung up the phone, trembling with excitement.
Suddenly, a stern voice rang out, "Black Tiger, do you know where Mr. Chen is?"
The speaker was none other than Mayor Huang. Reading books.
Mayor Huang was sitting opposite Black Tiger, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with gloom, staring intently at Black Tiger.
It was only then that he realized that Black Tiger was currently in a large conference room. Besides Mayor Huang, Alliance Leader Long, and the President of the Medical Association, the three major powers of Jiangzhou, many wealthy businessmen from Jiangzhou were also present.
This statement seemed to have struck a sensitive chord with everyone. They all perked up, staring intently at Black Tiger.
These people had gathered together to resolve the matter of Xiao the Devil's revenge. To resolve this, they naturally needed a powerful martial artist, and Chen Xuan was the only one who came to mind!
However, they couldn't get through to Chen Xuan's phone.
That was understandable; Chen Xuan had blocked them all because he didn't want to be bothered.
Now that there was finally news, they were naturally excited.
"Mr. Chen is in Daliu Town," Black Tiger said.
"What should we do?"
Someone asked, but then fell silent. The room was as quiet as a tomb. Finally, all eyes converged on Mayor Huang.
Mayor Huang gritted his teeth, his gaze becoming more determined. He suddenly stood up and roared, "Let's go, we'll go to Daliu Town to pay our New Year's respects to Mr. Chen!"
Everyone was stunned and nodded in unison:
"Let's go, we'll pay our respects to Mr. Chen!"
"Haha, remember to prepare plenty of gifts!"
The three major powers took the lead and walked out, followed by countless wealthy businessmen from Jiangzhou, quickly leaving the conference room in an orderly fashion.
At this moment, it began to snow heavily, with goose-feather-like snowflakes falling rustling from the sky!
In the blink of an eye, Jiangzhou had a new look!
Vroom, vroom, vroom!
A few minutes later, blinding headlights tore through the dark night sky. Engines roared like beasts. Cars after cars departed from the city center, carrying an overwhelming momentum, heading towards Daliu Town on this snowy New Year's Eve!
