Chapter 98

And now,

Jiang Tiansheng had given Chu Tian such high praise.

One had to know, Jiang Tiansheng had never even praised Chan Ho Nam like that.

This made Shan Ji even more jealous, and he said with dissatisfaction:

"Who is this guy? We're all just low-level thugs, what's with the suit and tie? Playing at being a social elite???"

Chan Ho Nam knew Shan Ji's foul mouth; nothing good would ever come out of it.

And since they were currently at Luo Tuo's birthday banquet,

with Jiang Tiansheng and Luo Tuo chatting happily, if Shan Ji were to speak out of turn and embarrass the two leaders, it would be a huge disaster.

So he hurriedly tugged on Shan Ji's clothes, shook his head at him, and said:

"Shan Ji, don't talk nonsense."

But Shan Ji not only ignored him, he actually stood up from the table.

Because following his earlier outburst, he noticed that the eyes of everyone in the room were now focused on him.

Shan Ji felt this was an opportunity; perhaps he could step on Chu Tian to make a name for himself in the underworld.

He became even more energized, looked at Chu Tian, and said mockingly:

"You, and these people of yours, wearing suits and ties—

do you think dressing formally makes you a social elite? Does it mean you're not a gangster anymore?

Don't you all agree?"

As he spoke, Shan Ji looked at the other Hongxing members at the table with a face full of mockery.

Bao Pi and the others naturally stood on Shan Ji's side.

Moreover, Chu Tian hogging the spotlight earlier had made them, the Hongxing members, very unhappy.

They immediately chimed in:

"Exactly. A thug is a thug; what's with the social elite act?"

"Wearing a suit and tie, it's hilarious. Do you wear that when you go out to hack people too?"

"Of course he does, because he has to show off!"

Jiang Tiansheng and Luo Tuo saw this scene but didn't say a word, their faces remaining solemn, unreadable, as if they were deep in thought.

As for Chu Tian, he looked at Shan Ji as if he were a clown, a faint smile on his face.

Seeing this, Shan Ji thought Chu Tian was just forcing a smile, that he was scared and didn't dare to argue back. He became even more emboldened and asked Bao Pi and the others:

"Do you know a certain phrase?"

"What phrase?"

Bao Pi and the others asked in perfect coordination.

"A dog in human clothing!!! A low-level thug wearing a suit and tie—isn't that exactly what a dog in human clothing is???"

"Hahahaha!"

Once Shan Ji said this, Bao Pi and the other Hongxing members burst into loud laughter.

Even some of the Dongxing underlings couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Honestly, Shan Ji did have a point.

"Fuck! You motherfucker!"

Ah Hu saw how glorious he looked, yet someone was mocking him as a "dog in human clothing." Most importantly, Shan Ji had even mocked Chu Tian. He was instantly furious, ripped off his sunglasses, and prepared to teach Shan Ji a lesson, but was stopped by Chu Tian.

"Brother Tian, he..."

Ah Hu wanted to say something else, but Chu Tian shook his head, and Ah Hu had no choice but to shut his mouth.

This was Luo Tuo's birthday banquet.

Even if the matter were of monumental importance, Chu Tian could not let Ah Hu make a move now.

Seeing this, Luo Tuo looked at Chu Tian with even more affection.

Jiang Tiansheng felt the same, staring at Chu Tian, wondering what he was thinking.

Chu Tian didn't care about the gazes of the two bosses; he looked at Shan Ji like a clown, a trace of a smile on his face, and mocked:

"No wonder you've been a bottom-feeder for over a decade!"

"What do you mean?"

Shan Ji immediately turned his head, his face fierce as he asked.

"Exactly what I said." Chu Tian pulled a pack of Marlboros from his pocket and pulled out a cigarette. Seeing this, Ah Hu immediately lit it for him.

After lighting it, Chu Tian took a deep drag, then pointed at Jiang Tiansheng with the hand holding the cigarette:

"Take a good look for yourself. Mr. Jiang of your Hongxing, and our Dongxing's Boss Luo—aren't they both wearing suits and ties?

Do you think you're still like a bottom-feeder, only knowing how to fight and kill every day, wearing cheap street-market clothes and sunglasses, thinking you're so cool?"

"You..."

"What 'you'? And what 'dog in human clothing'? You call me a dog in human clothing, but don't you realize Mr. Jiang of your Hongxing is also wearing a suit and tie? His real identity is also a low-level thug—is he also a dog in human clothing?"

Chu Tian interrupted Shan Ji directly, shouting loudly.

Shan Ji panicked instantly.

Jiang Tiansheng was his boss's boss's boss; he absolutely could not afford to offend him.

Under Chu Tian's reminder, he realized that just now, he had indeed insulted Jiang Tiansheng as well.

Suddenly, Shan Ji couldn't care about Chu Tian anymore and hurriedly apologized to Jiang Tiansheng:

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that!"

Jiang Tiansheng shook his head, waved his hand at Shan Ji with disappointment, and said:

"That's enough, get out!"

"Mr. Jiang..."

"I said get out. Didn't you hear me?"

Seeing Shan Ji still unwilling to let it go, Jiang Tiansheng shouted angrily.

Shan Ji's face stiffened, and he stood there, stunned.

Seeing this, Chan Ho Nam hurriedly signaled Shan Ji to get out quickly.

Shan Ji had no choice but to leave the restaurant in a panic, looking dejected; he couldn't even worry about Chu Tian anymore.
