Chapter 131: A Big Background

Because the argument between Third Brother and the security guard was quite loud, we only then realized that Third Brother hadn't actually entered yet. Turning our heads, we saw Third Brother arguing with the security guard. The main issue was that Third Brother’s attire was truly a bit comical—he was wearing a tank top, cargo shorts, and a pair of flip-flops. It would be a wonder if he wasn't stopped by security when trying to enter such a venue.

I thought Sister Ling would step forward to smooth things over, but I noticed she had no such intention, which left me very puzzled.

"Sister Ling, what are you doing?" I asked, feeling quite confused.

"It's fine, no need to rush. Let's watch first!" Sister Ling looked at Third Brother with great interest.

Just as I was about to say something else, Huang Laohu, who was standing to the side, pulled me and said, "Boss, don't worry. Sister Ling is observing Xu Hongzhi’s personality and his attitude and ability in handling matters. It seems this guy is lucky. Don't worry, when the time is right, Sister Ling will definitely step in!"

Seeing them say this, I was speechless and could only watch Third Brother and the security guard bickering.

The security guard saw that Third Brother was still standing there and refusing to leave, and he was even cursing. Plus, with quite a few people around watching, he figured that if this really turned into a scene, his hotel would be embarrassed. So, he decided to end it quickly and barked at Third Brother, "If you keep making trouble here, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Third Brother was furious by now. Seeing that there were quite a few young married women watching, he couldn't back down. Instead of coming over to acknowledge us, he retorted directly to the security guard, "Damn it, try touching me today and see what happens!"

The security guard was also incensed and cursed, "I see it now, you brat are just here to cause trouble. You're looking for death!"

With that, the security guard rushed over to lay hands on Third Brother. However, where was a security guard a match for Third Brother? The security guards here were at most a bit stronger than the average person. Before he could even reach Third Brother, he was kicked flying by Third Brother. Third Brother looked at the security guard with disdain and said, "That’s it? And you work as a security guard? I think you should go home and farm!"

The security guard’s face turned livid as he slowly climbed up from the ground. He immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted into it, "Captain, Captain, bring the brothers to the entrance quickly! Someone is causing trouble, the other party is very strong, he’s a martial artist!"

Not long after, over a dozen people arrived. The leading security captain looked at the beaten guard and asked hurriedly, "Xiao Wang, what’s the situation?"

The guard named Xiao Wang pointed at Third Brother and said, "Captain, it’s this guy. This guy came to make trouble and even hit me!"

Hearing this, the security captain looked at Third Brother, scrutinized his attire, and then felt reassured. He snorted and said, "Brat, are you looking to die?"

"Your subordinate has eyes but fails to see. I’m helping you teach him a lesson. I already told him I’m here to attend the banquet, but he wouldn't believe me!" Third Brother said helplessly, as if he were completely innocent.

"You, attending the banquet? Do you know what kind of people are here today? I think you really are here to cause trouble. Brothers, get him, take him down!" the security captain said angrily.

The group of people around them prepared to rush up and beat Third Brother, but Third Brother didn't flinch at all. He gave his body a shake and prepared to engage. I could already foresee the miserable state these people would be in. I secretly glanced at Sister Ling to the side; she still had no intention of stepping in to resolve the situation and continued to watch the show.

Sure enough, the security captain and his men didn't last a few moves in Third Brother’s hands and fell one by one. Seeing this, the security captain was terrified. He looked at Third Brother and hurriedly shouted to those around him, "Stop, everyone stop!"

The surrounding security guards looked at their captain, puzzled, and asked, "Captain, why stop? He injured so many of our brothers, we can't let him off so easily!"

"What do you know? All of us combined aren't a match for this guy. This guy is no ordinary person; he’s not someone we can handle!" the security captain said with a frown.

"I can't tell, you little security guard actually know quite a bit. It seems you’ve seen quite a lot of the world!" Third Brother said, smiling at the security captain.

The security captain didn't speak. Just then, someone walked over, saw the situation, and asked furiously, "What’s the situation? What’s going on here? Who can tell me?"

The security captain walked over quickly and said respectfully, "Manager Liu!"

"What exactly is going on?" the man called Manager Liu asked sternly.

"It’s like this, Manager Liu. This person came here to cause trouble and even claimed he was here to attend the party. Look at this guy, how could he possibly be here for the party? Look at how he’s dressed, how could he be here for the party!" the security captain said.

Hearing the security captain’s words, Manager Liu frowned, looked at Third Brother, and asked, "May I ask if you have an invitation, sir?"

"I already said, I came with others. I don't have an invitation. How many times do you want me to say it!" Third Brother said angrily.

Manager Liu was, after all, the manager of this hotel; his discernment and experience were far superior to the security captain’s. He didn't get angry at Third Brother immediately but looked around, finally locking his gaze on us. Seeing that our eyes were also on Third Brother, he felt a bit puzzled and tentatively asked Third Brother, "May I ask if you are with that group of people?"

Third Brother followed Manager Liu’s gaze toward us and said triumphantly, "That’s right, I am with them. Do you know who the leader is? And you actually dared to stop me? You really have eyes but fail to see. So what if I’m dressed like this? Don't I look handsome enough?"

When Manager Liu saw our group, his expression didn't change much. However, when he saw Sister Ling at the front, his face changed instantly. He ran over and said respectfully, "General Manager Yu, when did you arrive? You didn't even tell me so I could come to receive you!"

"No, I just arrived," Yu Manling said.

"General Manager Yu, the person behind you?" Manager Liu asked, tentatively looking at Xu Hongzhi.

Yu Manling nodded and said, "That’s right, he is indeed with me!"

Hearing this, Manager Liu’s expression shifted dramatically. He hurriedly apologized, "I am very sorry, General Manager Yu. I didn't know he was with you. I’m sorry, I..."

At this moment, the security captain and the other guards were stunned. They hadn't expected that Xu Hongzhi had actually come in with the people at the front. They knew they had caused trouble today, and it was clear that the other party’s status was terrifying—even their own manager was being this respectful and submissive. They figured that if things went poorly, they might not even be able to keep their jobs.
