BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31 - Could It Actually Be Chu Yun's Future Underground Force?!
“Bang!” The warehouse door was suddenly opened. More than ten people rushed in from outside once again!
The group of underlings inside trembled instinctively upon hearing the sound. But after turning around and recognizing who had come, they all let out a sigh of relief.
The young man took a step forward to greet them: “Dad, I …”
Before he could finish his sentence, the middle-aged man leading the group lifted his hand without hesitation.
Slap!
A loud slap landed on the young man’s face.
“Sss—” All the underlings around sucked in a breath of cold air. Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal. But at this moment, they had just witnessed Bai Zhou continuously slapping someone until they were knocked unconscious!
It was as if the earlier scene was playing out again.
The furious middle-aged man pointed at the young man’s nose and angrily scolded: “I shouldn’t have brought you along on this business trip to Magic City!!”
The young man, feeling wronged, said: “He hit me first! Look, my head’s been busted open!”
Indeed, it was busted open, but the injury wasn’t serious. Otherwise, the middle-aged man wouldn’t have been so angry with his son.
The young man continued: “Dad! With you here, we don’t need to be afraid of Li Tai!”
“Rubbish!” The man raised his hand, about to hit him again, but held back and said, “Haven’t you ever heard that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake?!”
“Sigh …” The middle-aged man let out a heavy sigh.
He quickly rushed forward, stopping in front of the swollen-faced Li Yonggang. Seeing Li Yonggang’s pitiful state, the middle-aged man stepped back in shock.
His eyes filled with fury: “You actually beat someone to this state?!” He said this while chasing after the young man, intending to hit him again.
Bang!
The warehouse door was flung open once more. This time, it was even more forceful than before. Twice as many underlings stormed in.
Then, a thunderous roar was heard, echoing like a bell: “Who dares lay a hand on my son?!!”
Li Tai had arrived!
Upon hearing Li Tai’s voice, Li Yonggang burst into tears.
He stood up with his swollen lips and cried, “Dad—”
The crowd parted. Li Tai and Ye Qiantong walked at the forefront.
When Ye Qiantong saw Li Yonggang’s miserable condition, “Ha——!” She gasped sharply, instantly covering her mouth. A wave of overwhelming tension surged in her heart.
If even young master Li Yonggang was in such a state, could it be that Li family’s henchman, Bai Zhou, was already dead?
At this thought, Ye Qiantong’s eyes began to well up with tears.
“Who did this?!!” Li Tai’s enraged voice filled the entire warehouse.
At that moment, the middle-aged man who had entered before Li Tai, forced himself to step forward and said: “This matter is our responsibility.”
“Hmm?” Li Tai instantly turned and glared at the middle-aged man.
When he saw who it was, Li Tai’s eyes narrowed.
As if biting his molars, he said: “Ma Dezhong! Why didn’t you stay in Hansheng? You came to Magic City just to hit my son! Should I take this as a declaration of war?!”
As soon as Li Tai said this, the person who had the biggest reaction was Bai Zhou.
Ma Dezhong?!
That name—Bai Zhou knew it well!
This was the biggest ally of the original male protagonist, Chu Yun, in the underground world!!
If the surface-level businesses of the Li family were taken down with the help of Chu Yun, Mu Qingqing, and a few large corporations working together, then the underground forces of the Li family were completely handled by Ma Dezhong!
At this point in time, Ma Dezhong had not yet offended Chu Yun.
Yes, “offended.”
It followed the typical novel trope. Ma Dezhong, lacking awareness, provoked the protagonist, who then used his martial prowess to intimidate Ma Dezhong. And in the process, the protagonist found Ma Dezhong’s weakness, forcing him to pledge allegiance to the original protagonist, Chu Yun.
Ma Dezhong’s status in Hansheng was on par with Li Tai’s—equal in every respect! And now, to encounter such a figure this early on?
This was truly …
As Bai Zhou pondered, “Thud!”
Li Yonggang, who had just stood up, wobbled and nearly fell. Bai Zhou quickly reached out to support him.
At that moment, Li Tai and his group finally saw Bai Zhou.
They all paused in confusion: Why doesn’t Bai Zhou have a single injury?! Why is young master in such a pitiful state???!
Three enormous question marks popped into everyone’s minds.
Only Ye Qiantong, upon seeing Bai Zhou, revealed a visible look of delight, followed by a long sigh of relief.
She even gave Bai Zhou a resentful glance, as if to say: “You made me worry so much.”
But Bai Zhou had no idea what Ye Qiantong was thinking! After all, it was their first time meeting today! There had been no interaction before this, and they hadn’t even spoken.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Bai Zhou certainly didn’t.
But Ye Qiantong’s reaction really did have that kind of vibe!!
So, regarding Ye Qiantong, Bai Zhou mentally labeled her as: “A crazy woman with a few screws loose!”
