Meanwhile, Wang Dazhi was pacing back and forth in his hotel room, looking anxious as if waiting for someone.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door, and Wang Dazhi scurried over.
The door opened to reveal a young man standing outside, wearing sunglasses and a trench coat.
Upon seeing the man in the trench coat, Wang Dazhi acted as if he had seen a relative, rushing forward to embrace him.
"My Brother Wei, you've finally arrived!"
The man addressed as Brother Wei pushed Wang Dazhi away with a look of disgust.
"What's wrong with you? I'm straight, not interested in men."
"Brother Wei, I was just excited. Why are you alone? Where's my father-in-law?"
Wang Dazhi, with a fawning smile, looked outside but saw no one else.
Brother Wei said, "Don't look anymore. Boss Wang is still on his way. I'm not saying this to criticize, but what's your situation? How did you get into trouble as soon as you arrived in Jiangcheng?"
It turned out that after Wang Dazhi was beaten by Chen Xiao and Cao Dayong the previous night, he had called his wife to call for backup, asking her to send a few people over.
Unexpectedly, the matter had alerted his father-in-law, Boss Wang, the underworld leader of Jiangkou City, who was personally bringing people over.
He said obsequiously, "Brother Wei, that kid is just an ordinary person. Why would you and my father-in-law need to come personally? Sending a few people would have been enough!"
Brother Wei was Boss Wang's right-hand man, a formidable fighter, and held a very high position within the organization.
Therefore, even though Wang Dazhi was Boss Wang's son-in-law, he still had to curry favor with him.
Brother Wei sneered, "Do you think we came here specifically for you? You're not that important. We have other business to attend to in Jiangcheng."
Brother Wei held a strong dislike for Wang Dazhi, considering him a superficial good-for-nothing. To be beaten by someone after meeting an old classmate, how useless must this person be?
Wang Dazhi's eye twitched, but he dared not speak out in anger. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Wei, what is the matter that you came to Jiangcheng specifically for this time?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Where is the person who beat you? Hurry up and take me there. After I deal with your matter, I need to rendezvous with Boss Wang."
Brother Wei said impatiently.
Wang Dazhi quickly replied, "Yes, Brother Wei. They are at the hotel right now. I'll take you there!"
...
Meanwhile, Chen Xiao and Cao Dayong had arrived at the Dragon Phoenix Grand Restaurant. As soon as they entered the lobby, Cao Dayong exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that Zhao Xiaobo!"
Chen Xiao looked ahead and indeed it was. They hadn't seen each other since he helped Wu Feier's mother with her illness last time.
He didn't expect the reclusive Zhao Xiaobo to be attending the class reunion today.
Cao Dayong's shout was loud, and Zhao Xiaobo heard it.
He looked back and seemed to see a ghost, quickening his pace forward!
"Hey? Why are you running, kid?"
Seeing him run, Cao Dayong immediately gave chase.
Chen Xiao watched, perplexed, not understanding why Zhao Xiaobo was running or why Cao Dayong was chasing him.
However, Cao Dayong caught up to Zhao Xiaobo, grabbed him, and asked, "Zhao Xiaobo, you brat, you don't recognize your old classmate anymore? Why are you running when you see us?"
"Who's running? I'm not running..."
Zhao Xiaobo argued.
Cao Dayong said displeasedly, "Are you lying with your eyes open? You were clearly running..."
"I'm not running, okay? I don't want to be involved with you guys, I'm afraid of being implicated..."
Zhao Xiaobo said with a troubled expression, finally telling the truth.
Chen Xiao had initially thought Zhao Xiaobo was running because of what happened last time, but hearing him say this, it was clearly not the case.
"How would being involved with us implicate you? What's going on? Can you explain it clearly?"
Cao Dayong asked with a frown.
Zhao Xiaobo countered, "Didn't you see the chat logs in the WeChat group?"
"What chat logs? I haven't looked yet!"
Cao Dayong quickly took out his phone and started scrolling through the class group chat.
Then he saw what Wang Dazhi had said in the group.
"I'm going to kill Chen Xiao and Cao Dayong today. Anyone who sees them should stay away, be careful not to get splashed with blood!"
Seeing this chat log, Cao Dayong's face filled with anger, "This Wang Dazhi is too arrogant! We just beat him up, and he has to say such harsh words?"
Cao Dayong had been speaking well of Wang Dazhi to Chen Xiao just moments ago, and now he realized he had been completely unnecessary.
Chen Xiao, however, revealed a cold smile, "Kill us? Heh, I'd like to see how he kills us!"
Zhao Xiaobo was too scared to speak. In fact, he still couldn't figure out if this was serious or if Wang Dazhi was just joking.
His avoidance of Chen Xiao and Cao Dayong was purely due to his personality, fearing he might get caught in the crossfire.
Especially after the previous experience, he knew Chen Xiao was not to be trifled with. It was better to stay away from them.
The three walked towards the reserved private room. As they got closer, Zhao Xiaobo suddenly stopped and said, "You guys go in first, I need to go to the restroom."
Chen Xiao knew what he was thinking and couldn't be bothered, walking into the private room with Cao Dayong in a swagger.
Quite a few people had already arrived in the private room, sitting around the table, bragging and chatting, but Wang Dazhi had not yet arrived.
Upon seeing Chen Xiao and Cao Dayong enter, everyone in the room showed expressions of shock or surprise.
They hadn't expected Chen Xiao and Cao Dayong to actually show up!
It was clear they had all seen Wang Dazhi's message in the group.
Normally, people in such a situation would hide and lie low.
Who would have thought these two would brazenly show up? When someone explicitly threatened to kill you, why would you still attend a class reunion!
Seeing them, Liu Qi immediately sneered, "Heh, you two really have guts. I was worried you wouldn't dare to come!"
"It's just a class reunion, why wouldn't we dare to come?"
Chen Xiao said dismissively, pulled out a chair, sat down, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table, and began cracking them leisurely.
Liu Qi stared coldly at Chen Xiao, "Fine, keep pretending. Let's see how long you can keep it up!"
Cao Dayong, knowing Chen Xiao's identity, also sat down with full confidence.
At this moment, the class monitor Wu Bin leaned over and said impatiently in a low voice, "Are you two trying to die? Wang Dazhi said he's going to deal with you. Didn't you see it?"
Wu Bin was the organizer of this class reunion. He had always been one to take charge when they were in school, and this habit hadn't changed after graduation.
Chen Xiao, cracking sunflower seeds, said nonchalantly, "We saw it, that's why we wanted to come and see if he's bragging again!"
