Chapter 571 Chongtian Tiger
"I can't do it," Sun said expressionlessly. Now that he knew Hao Jian was the one Ma Liben had offended, he naturally couldn't stand by Ma Liben's side anymore. Otherwise, he would truly be seeking death.
In his eyes, if Ma Liben dared to offend someone like Hao Jian, then not even a hundred and twenty lives would be enough to spare him from death.
"Why?" Ma Liben glared murderously at Sun, who dared to defy his will. This was as good as not giving him face.
"No reason, I just can't do it," Sun replied with the same icy demeanor.
"Fine, fine, fine... You dare to disobey me? Just you wait, when my brothers arrive, the first one I'll slaughter is you!" Ma Liben hissed through clenched teeth.
"Manager Sun, kick these idiots out!" Meanwhile, Hao Jian spoke up, ordering Sun to take action and expel the people.
"Yes, sir!" Sun bowed to Hao Jian and then picked up the walkie-talkie: "Security, come to the lobby!"
Ma Liben was completely dumbfounded. Sun wouldn't listen to him but obeyed Hao Jian instead? What was this supposed to mean? Who exactly was that guy?
Before long, more than a dozen security guards arrived in the lobby and surrounded Ma Liben and his group.
"If you dare to lay a hand on us, I'll make sure you regret it!" Ma Liben said fiercely. If they were really thrown out, it would be a massive loss of face.
"Shut the fuck up? All of you get up!"
But the security guards paid no heed to Ma Liben's threats, lifted him straight up, and one of them even kicked him in the butt.
"Fuck your mothers!" Ma Liben roared hysterically, feeling like a tiger fallen on flat ground, bullied by dogs.
"Smack!"
One of the security guards backhanded Ma Liben across the face and cursed, "Shut the hell up! Or you'll regret it!"
Afterward, Ma Liben and the others were taken out.
At that moment, everyone was still in shock, staring at Hao Jian as they pondered his identity. Even the hotel manager showed him deference.
"Mr. Hao Jian, I..."
Sun approached Hao Jian with an awkward expression, seemingly afraid that Hao Jian would take his anger out on him.
"Go on, I won't hold you responsible," Hao Jian said, waving him away.
"Thank you... thank you, Mr. Hao Jian." Sun was immediately delighted and breathed a sigh of relief as he walked away. Angering Hao Jian could've cost him his job, or worse, but fortunately, Hao Jian wasn't angry.
"What's gotten into you today?" As soon as Zhao Yating sat down, Su Xinya leaned in close and whispered in her ear.
"I need to vent!" But Zhao Yating merely said blandly, then picked up a glass of red wine from the table and downed it in one go.
Su Xinya immediately glared at Hao Jian with murderous eyes, and all Hao Jian could do was give a wry smile.
It wasn't long before a rowdy commotion came from the entrance, clearly Ma Liben's voice.
He had returned, probably with reinforcements, so he was full of bluster and thoroughly brazen.
The security guards who had expelled him earlier were all beaten up and then dragged in.
At Ma Liben's side stood a crew-cut middle-aged man with a malevolent expression and a dread-inspiring gaze, exuding an aura of death.
His eyes were sharp as they swept over the crowd.
"Ma Liben, what are you trying to do?" Seeing Ma Liben had actually brought people to cause trouble, he immediately became angry and lashed out at Ma Liben.
"Sun Yun, you fucking mongrel, dare to kick me out of the hotel? I'm going to take your life! Thought you were tough with your numbers, eh? Try me! See how tough you are now!" Ma Liben laughed maniacally, taunting Sun Yun.
Behind Ma Liben stood dozens of burly men armed with weapons, looking ferocious and terrifying.
The hotel guests were terrified, clearly seeing that these men were thugs, far from anyone benevolent.
"If you continue this nonsense, I'll call the police!" Sun Yun warned with an ugly expression, out of options except to invoke the police.
However, Ma Liben and his group clearly didn't care. Ma Liben sneered, "If you get the chance to call the police, then you win!"
Then, Ma Liben looked around and shouted, "Listen up, all of you! If anyone dares to call the cops, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Everyone kept their heads down, eating their meals, too frightened to speak a word.
"Ma Liben, hurry up and sort out your mess. I've got things to do later," Chongtian Tiger's face seemed a bit off. He had just returned from a business trip, to learn that one of his underlings had committed an incredibly foolish act, antagonizing the one person in Hua City who should not be provoked.
The person in question had summoned him by name, so Chongtian Tiger rushed back, originally intending to find Hao Jian himself. But along the way, he encountered Ma Liben seeking help, and given their decent relationship, Chongtian Tiger brought his men to help him seek revenge.
"Brother Hu, it's that kid. He's the one who hit me. Help me chop him to pieces!" Ma Liben pointed at Hao Jian not far away.
Chongtian Tiger looked over to where Hao Jian was and when he saw Hao Jian, he was instantly stunned. The person Ma Liben wanted him to deal with was Hao Jian???
"The person you want me to deal with is him?" Chongtian Tiger pointed at Hao Jian and confirmed with Ma Liben, his entire face turning dark.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ma Liben looked puzzled.
It's over...
Chongtian Tiger felt like crying at this moment. What the hell was going on? He was already dragging his feet with the apology, and now he had just come back and ended up confronting Hao Jian. Why was his luck so rotten?
Hao Jian continued to nonchalantly pick at his food, as if he hadn't noticed Chongtian Tiger's arrival, his expression calm, out of sync with the current tense atmosphere.
Because Zhao Yating and Su Xinya, among others, had also stopped eating, watching tensely as several dozen men stood around. But Hao Jian was there munching away, completely ignoring Chongtian Tiger and his men.
While Chongtian Tiger was lost in his thoughts, Ma Liben had already approached Hao Jian, sneering slyly, "Kid, weren't you being pretty arrogant? Why are you silent now? Pretending you don't see anyone? Are you scared?"
Ma Liben buzzed annoyingly around Hao Jian, his face full of a despicable sneer, obviously up to no good.
Hao Jian frowned, disliking being disturbed during his meal, particularly by someone with bad breath.
"Let's settle it this way, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Just give me all these beauties by your side, then kneel down and lick my leather shoes, and I'll spare your life, how about that? Hahaha..." Ma Liben burst into a fit of laughter.
"Bang!"
Hao Jian reached out and pressed Ma Liben's haid against the table with a loud thud.
Ma Liben instantly felt dizzy, and blood gushed from his nose.
"You..." Ma Liben was stunned, seemingly unable to believe that at this point, Hao Jian dared to lay hands on him. Didn't he see how many people were on his side?
"You're too noisy!" Hao Jian said coldly, looking at Ma Liben, then continued to turn his head back to his meal.
"Brother Hu, did you see that? Hurry up and chop him to pieces for me!" Ma Liben immediately became frantic, shouting at Chongtian Tiger.
Chongtian Tiger was itching with frustration. In fact, the first person he should be chopping down was Ma Liben.
If not for Ma Liben, he wouldn't have to be at odds with Hao Jian, let alone be this embarrassed.
But Chongtian Tiger also knew he couldn't escape, and he sighed helplessly, then instructed his subordinates, "Stay here and don't even twitch without my orders!"
After that, Chongtian Tiger approached Hao Jian.
"Hehe, you guys are done for, our Brother Hu is famously ruthless, he's going to slice and dice you in a bit!" Seeing Chongtian Tiger coming over, Ma Liben burst into laughter, as if he had found his backbone.
At that moment, Chongtian Tiger had arrived at Hao Jian's table, then proceeded to undo his suit buttons, roll up his trousers, and slowly knelt down!!!
"What?"
Instantly, the whole place exploded. Chongtian Tiger, the boss, actually knelt before this young man? Why?
Everyone was unable to understand. Chongtian Tiger had brought so many people, had completely dominated the scene, all those present should be at his mercy, right? Why kneel?
And Chongtian Tiger's men were also dumbstruck. In their eyes, Chongtian Tiger had always been the tough guy, always unbending. Yet now he was kneeling before this young man—who in the world was he?
Zhao Yating and Su Xinya, along with everyone who knew Hao Jian, were dumbfounded. They grew even more curious about Hao Jian's identity.
And the expressions of those directors and actors became strange too, recalling some rumors about Hao Jian, with the most famous being... his influence over both black and white!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hao Jian!" Chongtian Tiger called out loudly, full of vigor, and then prostrated himself before Hao Jian.
Ma Liben was petrified on the spot, feeling every pore in his body trembling. Even Chongtian Tiger was afraid of this kid? Just who was this kid?
Suddenly, Ma Liben realized how incredibly stupid he had been. It would probably be child's play for this guy to kill him, wouldn't it?
Yet Hao Jian acted as if he hadn't heard Chongtian Tiger speak, continuing to eat, while looking at the now dumbfounded crowd, he asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you going to eat?"
The others could only awkwardly smile. They'd like to eat, sure, but in the face of such a jaw-dropping event, how could they have an appetite?
