Before the words had even fallen, a middle-aged man in a suit, with a small mustache, walked in.
Upon seeing this person, Qi Tianhu's expression changed instantly, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Accompanying the man in the suit was a hulking brute, nearly two meters tall, with scorpion tattoos covering half his face, giving him a fierce and menacing appearance.
The man with the mustache spoke in a nasally tone, "Qi Tianhu, long time no see!"
Qi Qingfei immediately stepped in front of the mustached man, shouting angrily, "Stop! What do you want?"
This mustached man looked like trouble, and for some inexplicable reason, Qi Qingfei felt an instinctive dislike for him.
However, the mustached man didn't seem angered. His gaze towards Qi Qingfei even held a hint of kindness.
"You must be Lin Na's daughter. I didn't expect you to grow up so much in the blink of an eye!"
Qi Qingfei was startled, as Lin Na was her deceased mother.
"Who exactly are you?"
The mustached man smiled slightly, "Niece, there's no need to be nervous. Back in the day, your mother and I were very good friends!"
Qi Qingfei looked to Qi Tianhu for an explanation, "Dad, who is he?"
Qi Tianhu slowly replied, "This is Xu Ning. By rights, you should call him Uncle."
Xu Ning suddenly snapped his fingers, interrupting Qi Tianhu.
"Hold on, you talk too much. Let me say it. Simply put, your mother and I both pursued her back then, and in the end, she chose your father."
At this point, Xu Ning's face contorted into a ferocious expression.
"From that moment on, I vowed that one day, I would make your father die by my hand, to prove to your mother that her choice was wrong!"
Xu Ning was so arrogant that his face seemed to deform. Qi Qingfei felt he was like a madman.
Qi Tianhu sighed, "So many years have passed, I didn't expect you to still remember this."
Xu Ning said fiercely, "Hmph, if I don't kill you, I won't die in peace. How could I forget?"
Qi Tianhu asked, "So it was you who bribed Luo Shu to kill me? And you who poisoned me?"
"Who else could it be?"
Xu Ning readily admitted it.
Qi Qingfei was immediately enraged. This was the Qi family, Jiangcheng, Qi Tianhu's territory.
"You're looking for death! Have you come to die today?"
Xu Ning shook his head, "No, no, no, niece, you misunderstand. Since you could escape death even in this situation, it means he is not meant to die yet. So, we'll put the matter of revenge aside for now. I'm here today mainly for another matter."
"What matter?"
Qi Tianhu asked, confused.
He had no idea what Xu Ning was up to. He was a cautious man.
Without absolute certainty, he would never dare to meet him rashly, let alone admit to trying to harm him multiple times!
But where did his confidence come from?
Soon, Qi Tianhu knew the answer.
Xu Ning said, "Qi Tianhu, I've come today to deliver a message from the Dragon King to you. In three days, he will be waiting for you on Ling Shui! Please be there then, or face the consequences!"
"Dragon King?"
Qi Tianhu's eyes sharpened, "Are you from the Underworld Hall?"
Xu Ning smiled faintly, "I am but a humble servant, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master of the Underworld Hall, that is I!"
Qi Tianhu was suddenly greatly alarmed, his gaze towards Xu Ning filled with disbelief.
At this moment, he understood everything.
No wonder Xu Ning was so confident, no wonder he dared to come alone. It turned out he had the colossal Underworld Hall behind him!
Seeing Qi Tianhu's astonished reaction, Xu Ning became smug. "Qi Tianhu, I haven't been idling outside for the past twenty years, hehe. Is the leader of Jiangcheng very powerful? I'm sorry, compared to the Underworld Hall, you're just trash!"
"Don't worry, I won't touch you again before the Dragon King sees you. But after that, hehe... we'll see!"
"Alright, I've delivered the message. Qi Tianhu, we'll meet again! Hahahaha!"
Xu Ning laughed wildly and turned to leave.
However, just as he was about to reach the door, Chen Xiao said lightly, "Wait! Don't go yet!"
Xu Ning paused slightly, looked back, and saw that the person speaking to him was the young doctor who had saved Qi Tianhu. He frowned.
"Kid, what is it?"
Xu Ning thought, this kid has ruined my plans multiple times, and I haven't even dealt with you yet, and you're coming to me?
Chen Xiao asked, "Did you just admit that you repeatedly harmed Qi Tianhu?"
Xu Ning immediately became amused, "That's right, it was me. So what?"
He looked self-righteous, inwardly mocking Chen Xiao for meddling.
The main party hadn't even spoken, and you, a mere doctor, are sticking your nose in?
Chen Xiao let out a soft 'oh' and said calmly, "That's good then. You're not leaving today!"
"You brat, what do you mean?"
Xu Ning's temper flared. Did this kid look like he wanted trouble?
"You harmed someone and still want to leave? Is there such a principle in the world? If you insist on leaving, you'll have to leave your life behind!"
Chen Xiao said dismissively, as if discussing something trivial.
"You damned brat, are you looking for death?"
Xu Ning cursed loudly, then pointed his gun at Qi Tianhu.
"Qi Tianhu, you're really going downhill. How do you teach your subordinates to act?"
Qi Tianhu roared, "Xu Ning, how dare you be disrespectful! Chen Xiao is the new leader of Jiangcheng, not my subordinate!"
He had tolerated all the insults Xu Ning had thrown at him, but he absolutely would not allow Xu Ning to be disrespectful to Chen Xiao!
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning froze, then burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, Qi Tianhu, I've long heard that you feared the Dragon King Hall would trouble you, so you abdicated to a foolish boy!"
"From what I know of you, I thought this was just nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Qi Tianhu, oh Qi Tianhu, you're truly getting more useless as you get older. You were a formidable man before, look at what you're doing now. Finding a foolish boy to take the blame, how could you even think of that."
Qi Tianhu was furious, "Xu Ning, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I won't be polite to you!"
Xu Ning stood his ground arrogantly, hands on his hips.
"Not polite? Come on, I'd like to see how you're not going to be polite to me?"
"Qi Tianhu, I'll even wash my neck and offer it to you, do you dare to touch me?"
"I'm part of the Underworld Hall now. Believe it or not, if you dare to touch a single hair on me, the Underworld Hall will flatten your little Jiangcheng!"
Xu Ning arrogantly stretched out his neck, confident that with the backing of the Underworld Hall, Qi Tianhu would not dare to touch him.
However, in the next second, a size forty-five foot kicked towards his neck...
