Protagonist:
Lin Hao
Lin Hao, like a war god amidst this chaotic situation, relying on his strong physique and learned force techniques, in no time beat Da D's men who charged in aggressively into disarray, one by one falling to the ground groaning in pain, no longer having the slightest bit of their previous arrogance.
At this moment, the scene in the restaurant's private room could be described as utter chaos.
Chairs and tables lay overturned everywhere, some even with broken legs and arms; cups, plates, bowls, and dishes were shattered all over the floor, leftover food and soup spilled everywhere, mixed with bloodstains on the ground, looking especially glaring; the walls were also slashed with marks, as if telling of the brutality of the fierce fight just now.
Outside in the corridor and the lobby, other diners had long been frightened out of their wits by this sudden commotion, screaming and fleeing in all directions, the originally lively and orderly restaurant instantly falling into panic.
The restaurant staff were also in a complete mess, some busy comforting guests, others looking nervously toward the private room but not daring to approach, afraid of bringing trouble upon themselves.
Jiang Tiansheng knew clearly in his heart that if this continued, if someone called the police, it would be trouble; by then everyone would be taken away by the police, and if this got out, it would be bad for the reputation of both Hung Hing and Wo Shing Wo.
So he made a quick decision, gave a wink to a few capable men beside him, and ordered: "Quick, take Deng Bo, Chui Ji, and Da D these three people with us; let's leave this place first, don't waste time here, to prevent complications."
After receiving the order, those men immediately went toward Deng Bo and the others. Deng Bo and Chui Ji were also looking helpless at this moment; originally a good negotiation had been messed up by Da D like this, and now they could only obediently follow along.
As for Da D, although he was still seething with anger inside, he had just been beaten up by Lin Hao and his body still hurt at this moment, having no strength to resist, he could only let Hung Hing's men drag him away, while still unwillingly muttering in his mouth: "Hmph, I've remembered this score, we'll see..."
Just like that, amidst the chaos, Jiang Tiansheng led his men, escorting Deng Bo, Chui Ji, and Da D, and hurriedly left the restaurant.
The mess left in the restaurant awaited the staff to clean up.
Everyone took a roundabout route and arrived at an old car yard of Hung Hing.
This old car yard was quite spacious around, usually piled with some old vehicles, everywhere exuding a sense of age and dilapidation, indeed a suitable place for private talks and not easily disturbed by outsiders.
Jiang Tiansheng led Deng Bo and Chui Ji to a relatively spacious and fairly clean spot in the old car yard, gesturing for the two to sit down first.
Afterwards, he said with a hint of apology on his face: "Deng Bo, Chui Ji, today's matter turning out like this is indeed somewhat beyond my expectation; originally I thought everyone could sit down calmly and have morning tea, properly discussing A Le's matter and some misunderstandings, but I didn't expect Brother Da D to be so impulsive, instantly ruining the scene, so we changed to this place; I hope the two of you won't take offense."
Deng Bo sighed slightly and waved his hand, saying: "Mr. Jiang, saying these now is of no use; since things have come to this, let's quickly discuss how to solve the troubles at hand. A Le is being detained by you, and Da D has had a conflict with you; if this matter isn't handled well, the relationship between our two gangs will become even more strained."
Chui Ji also chimed in from the side: "That's right, Mr. Jiang; we're all mixing in this Jianghu, and harmony is precious; tell us your thoughts, and we'll see how to settle this matter."
On the other side, Lin Hao dragged Da D to another corner of the old car yard.
Da D struggled while glaring viciously at Lin Hao and said: "You brat, let go of me; for that kick you gave me in the restaurant just now, I haven't settled the score with you yet; now what do you want to do?"
Lin Hao snorted coldly, let go of his hand, and looked at Da D, saying: "Da D, don't play the tough guy with me here; just now if you hadn't indiscriminately started cursing as soon as you came up, could it have turned out like that? I ask you, how do you plan to apologize to me?"
Da D, upon hearing this, was furious and shouted loudly: "Apologize? Are you stupid? Will I apologize to you?"
Lin Hao's gaze turned cold, his eyes staring at Da D like substance, and he said in a sinister tone: "Da D, I don't have time to keep arguing with you here. Today in the restaurant you indiscriminately cursed at us and even wanted someone to hack me to death; I haven't settled this score with you yet. Now I don't want to say any more nonsense to you; if you're sensible, quickly apologize to me, compensate my losses, and let this matter go; otherwise, hmph, I don't mind making sure you never open your mouth again right here today, and kill you directly. Think about it; if you're gone, A Le's side might even be happy; without you as a competitor, his future election as Talker would be much easier."
Da D, upon hearing these words, felt a "thump" in his heart, and instantly a chill rose from his spine.
He knew clearly in his heart that Lin Hao was not threatening him; just now in the restaurant he had witnessed Lin Hao's formidable skills, and if they really fought, his current injured body might not be a match for him.
Moreover, this was Hung Hing's territory, with Jiang Tiansheng's men all around; if he really angered Lin Hao, the other side killing him would be as easy as pie.
But Da D's nature was stubborn and cared about face; making him apologize to Lin Hao face to face was harder than killing him; he gritted his teeth, stiffened his neck, and said: "Lin Hao, stop trying to scare me here; want me to apologize? Not a chance! I, Da D, have been mixing in this Jianghu for so many years and have never feared anyone; if you have the ability, just try it; at worst, we'll go down together; if I die, Wo Shing Wo definitely won't let you Hung Hing off!"
Lin Hao, after hearing Da D's words, coldly laughed, stepped forward, approached Da D; the oppressive aura on his body made Da D involuntarily retreat a step; Lin Hao said: "Hmph, go down together? You think too highly of yourself; with your current sorry state, you still talk to me about going down together. I've laid down my words today; whether you apologize or not, weigh the consequences yourself; don't regret it when it's too late."
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Da D's forehead; he hesitated a bit in his heart; on one hand he couldn't let go of his face, on the other hand he was truly afraid Lin Hao would really be ruthless to him; for a moment, he was in a dilemma, standing there, his face alternating between green and white, not knowing how to choose.
