Protagonist:

Lin Hao

By the time he reached the Casino, he had just stepped through the Door when he heard a familiar voice; looking up, he saw Chen Hao Nan and the others sitting there.

Lin Hao walked forward with a furrowed brow, looking at the disheveled traces of fighting still on Chen Hao Nan and the others, and asked, "Where did you few go?"

Chen Hao Nan raised his head, saw it was Lin Hao, and a bitter smile of having survived a calamity appeared on his face. He rubbed his still-aching head and slowly said, "Hao Ge, don't mention it. That day we went to a Venue of the San Chain Bang, thinking we could take back the Venue, but who knew there were too many of them, and each one was fierce; we were no match at all. While fighting, I let my guard down for a moment and was knocked out cold. Fortunately, the Brothers risked their lives to protect me, allowing us to carve a bloody path and escape."

Shan Ji at the side also said, "Yes, Hao Ge, the scene at that time was too chaotic. We only focused on protecting Nan Ge as we ran out. With great difficulty we shook off their pursuit, thinking in our hearts that the San Chain Bang would surely not let it rest and might chase us all the way to our Casino, which would be terrible. So we discussed simply running back to Hong Kong, but when we touched our bodies, we found we had no money at all. No travel money, so we couldn't leave even if we wanted to. No choice, we could only hide near the Wharf, waiting for the wind to die down before figuring something out. As a result, last night we heard Mr. Jiang had come to Ao Dao, thinking that with Mr. Jiang and you here, our Hung Hing's power would grow, so we dared to come back."

After listening to Chen Hao Nan and the others' account, Lin Hao's face instantly turned iron-green, his eyes full of anger. He casually grabbed an empty wine bottle from the table and, without thinking, smashed it hard toward Chen Hao Nan's head.

With a "thud," the wine bottle shattered on Chen Hao Nan's head, glass shards flying everywhere. Chen Hao Nan was knocked back several steps by this sudden blow, blood instantly flowing from his head. He looked at Lin Hao in utter shock, completely unprepared for Lin Hao to suddenly strike, and stood frozen in place for a moment, not even feeling the pain yet.

Lin Hao, meanwhile, was trembling with rage, his eyes wide, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Damn, you bastards are really something! Since you all knew the San Chain Bang might fight all the way to the Casino, why didn't any of you send me word? Dai Ge B was still there covering your escape, holding the rear alone, and now he's still at the police station. As for you, you only cared about saving your own skins, leaving him alone there. Are you even human? A bunch of scum. Now you still have the face to tell me this nonsense here? Why didn't you die out there? Our Hung Hing doesn't have dog scum like you. You've disgraced Hung Hing!"

Lin Hao's tirade plunged the entire Casino into instant dead silence. Others who had seen Lin Hao strike Chen Hao Nan were bewildered, completely failing to grasp what was happening.

Even Jiang Tiansheng's face turned cold, his brow tightly furrowed, his eyes revealing disbelief and displeasure. After all, Chen Hao Nan was a prominent figure in Hung Hing, usually highly regarded by everyone, and they hadn't expected Lin Hao to lash out so mercilessly.

But after hearing Lin Hao's scolding, the others' gazes toward Chen Hao Nan and the others gradually changed. Their original concern and relief vanished, replaced by scrutiny and contempt.

Everyone thought Chen Hao Nan and the others had indeed acted dishonorably. No matter what, they couldn't abandon Dai Ge B. That wasn't how Hung Hing Brothers should behave. For a moment, Chen Hao Nan and the others became the target of everyone's ire, stared at by those strange gazes as if pricked by needles on their backs, embarrassed and with nowhere to hide.

Chen Hao Nan held his bleeding head, opened his mouth wanting to explain something, but felt any explanation now would be pale and powerless. He could only keep his head down, silent, while Shan Ji and the others beside him were full of shame, not daring to meet everyone's eyes. The whole scene fell into an extremely awkward and oppressive atmosphere.

Just as the awkward atmosphere reached its peak, almost freezing solid, Chen Yao stepped forward.

He knew that if this deadlock continued, Hung Hing's internal affairs would surely erupt into a major contradiction. He hurried forward, smiling, smoothing things over while saying, "Ai, everyone calm down first, calm down first. Haonan and the others just came back from a great disaster; they were probably scared out of their wits, their minds not turning for a moment. Now Haonan's head is still bleeding. Let's first have someone take him to the back to bandage it and rest well. Whatever it is, let's wait until everyone calms down to talk about it."

Saying this, Chen Yao gave a wink, signaling the few Little Brothers beside him to hurry and support Chen Hao Nan toward the back of the Casino. Shan Ji and the others, seeing this, also hurriedly slinked away behind them, escaping this awkward scene that made everyone feel like sitting on pins and needles.

Others watched their departing figures. Although they were still somewhat indignant in their hearts, they couldn't say much more. After all, Chen Yao had stepped in to mediate, and now indeed was not the time to pursue the matter.
