Chapter 229: Chapter 205: [The First Direct Confrontation]

"Brother Han, should we go downstairs and wait for the chairman and, by the way, prevent that bastard Ye Fan from slipping away early?" a lean young man suggested to the leader, Han Tie, inside Tan’s Private Kitchen Dong hai Hall private room.

"Right, if that bastard slips away, wouldn’t the chairman have made a trip for nothing?" another young man spoke up, his expression slightly puzzled, wondering why Bai Luo wasn’t worried about Ye Fan leaving.

"Okay."

Han Tie was also somewhat puzzled, but his understanding of Bai Luo was the deepest. He knew well that Bai Luo never acted without certainty. Since Bai Luo wasn’t worried about Ye Fan running away, there must be a reason.

Whoosh—

A few seconds later, the lean young man opened the door of the private room for Han Tie, who stepped out and immediately looked toward the elevator.

Following his gaze, one could clearly see Song Ying throwing an expensive new Hermes handbag aside, trying to wake Zheng Xun, while Ye Fan, Pan Jueming, and Su Jindi were nowhere to be seen.

This discovery made Han Tie’s pupils suddenly dilate!

Where are they?

Surprised, Han Tie couldn’t help but ask himself.

Without an answer, Han Tie’s expression changed, and without another word, he quickly walked toward the elevator, the other three members of the Hong Ding Club following behind him.

"Where are they?"

Before reaching the elevator, Han Tie couldn’t wait any longer and asked Song Ying urgently, not caring at all about Zheng Xun’s life or death, but inquiring first about the whereabouts of Ye Fan and the others.

For him, no matter if Zheng Xun was dead at this point, it wouldn’t matter much to him, but if Bai Luo came up empty-handed today, that’s a responsibility he couldn’t shake off!

"In that private room!"

Song Ying pointed hatefully toward the ’Jiangnan Hall’ private room.

Swoosh!

Upon hearing this, Han Tie and his companions turned to look where Song Ying was pointing, and indeed saw Pan Jueming standing at the entrance of the private room like a steel rod.

"Hey, it seems the rumors are true. That bastard from the Ye Family is indeed bold and insolent, accustomed to nobody daring to challenge him." Seeing Pan Jueming, Han Tie’s mind stirred, and he instantly understood why Bai Luo wasn’t worried about Ye Fan escaping and couldn’t help but sneer.

After sneering, Han Tie then said, "You three wake Zheng Xun and then help him to the private room first, I’m going downstairs to wait for the chairman."

"Okay!"

The three members of the Hong Ding Club voiced in unison, then stepped forward to help Song Ying wake Zheng Xun, while Han Tie took the elevator downstairs.

Soon, one of the Hong Ding Club members slapped Zheng Xun’s swollen, blood-engorged face. In his confusion, the pain jolted Zheng Xun awake. His originally handsome face was as swollen as a bun, covered with dark purple bruises, his thin lips beaten bloody and raw, his whole face grotesquely deformed.

Under the lights, his gaze no longer had any arrogance, filled only with terror, seemingly afraid that Pan Jueming would continue slapping him!

"Young Master Bai knows about this and is on his way to stand up for you!" the lean young man reassured Zheng Xun, seeing his pitiful state.

"I... I want that Pan family bastard to suffer a fate worse than death!" Hearing his companion’s words, the fear in Pan Jueming’s eyes vanished, replaced by endless hatred.

"Not just that dog, but that bastard from the Ye family also needs to be dealt with!"

"Exactly, damn it, no one has ever dared to challenge our Hong Ding Club like this!"

The other two members of the Hong Ding Club, also angered, helped Zheng Xun to stand while furiously cursing.

Although including Zheng Xun, several of them wanted to tear Pan Jueming apart on the spot, when they reached the entrance of the Dong hai Hall private room, they didn’t dare to confront Pan Jueming directly but just glared at him viciously.

Clearly, they all understood the principle of not suffering immediate losses—not to mention that Ye Fan, Sun Pan Jueming’s backer, was right inside the Jiangnan Hall private room, and with Pan Jueming’s Postnatal Great Success strength, he could knock them all out with one hand!

Facing the murderous glares from Zheng Xun and the others, Pan Jueming didn’t even glance their way, treating the five like they were thin air, but thinking of the imminent direct confrontation between Ye Fan and Bai Luo, his heart couldn’t calm down, filled with nervousness, excitement, and mostly anticipation!

Meanwhile, Han Tie, as the deputy chief of the Hong Ding Club’s Dong hai branch, arrived downstairs and was just about to head outside the restaurant when he suddenly saw a chubby middle-aged man hurrying toward him.

"Qin... Young Master Qin!"

The chubby middle-aged man stopped two meters away from Han Tie, panting heavily while bowing and greeting Han Tie very humbly.

"What is it?" Han Tie asked from a superior position.

"Qin... Young Master Qin, I just heard from the lobby manager that there was a fight in the store, and upon asking, I learned it involved you and your friends, so I rushed over immediately."

The middle-aged man from Tan’s Private Kitchen, still bowing, first made an explanation, then pretended to be angry and said, "Who is the blind bastard who dared to provoke you, Young Master Qin?"

"Lord Bai will come here to take care of some matters soon. I don’t care how you do it, but I want all the guests on the fourth floor except for those in the Jiangnan Hall gone within thirty minutes," Han Tie spoke, his tone leaving no room for question.

Lord Bai?!

Upon hearing these words, the corpulent middle-aged man was stunned!

As the hidden owner of Tan’s Private Restaurant, who also owned several well-known eateries, he was considered one of the tycoons of the Dong hai catering industry.

His unique position made him aware of some specifics about the extravagant circle of Dong hai and he had also heard about the mysterious Hong Ding Club.

Right now, he could guess with his toes that the "Lord Bai" Han Tie referred to was the fourth-generation successor of the Bai Family, currently serving as the Grand Steward of Dong hai Province.

Realizing all this, he looked at Han Tie with utter shock, as if asking through his expression: Who on earth are the guests in the Jiangnan Hall that they can stir Young Master Bai himself?

Without answering, Han Tie passed by the corpulent middle-aged man with an expressionless face.

Gulp!

The corpulent man swallowed hard and then waved at the puzzled lobby manager, commanding coldly, "Immediately have the waitstaff inform all the guests except for those in the Jiangnan Hall and Young Master Qin’s private room that a fugitive is dining in the restaurant and the police will be here any minute to arrest people and seal the area. They need to leave. Try to make sure the staff’s attitude is sincere. Also, inform the guests that all food and drinks tonight are on the house!"

"Yes, boss!"

The lobby manager, experienced and knowledgeable, sensed that tonight’s affairs were extraordinary. She dared not ask any further, took the orders immediately, and then notified the waitstaff on all the floors via intercom to execute the corpulent middle-aged man’s orders.

After hesitating a moment, the corpulent man quickly stepped over to the cashier desk and said to the somewhat dazed cashier: "Pull up the video feed for the guests in the Jiangnan Hall, quick!"

"Okay... okay!"

The cashier was startled but did not dare to delay, quickly searching for the video of Ye Fan, Su Liuli, Situ Ruoshui, and Pan Jueming entering the restaurant.

Is it him?

As one of the giants of the Dong hai catering industry, the corpulent man not only knew from special channels about Ye Fan replacing Situ Chen to become the godfather of the Dong hai Underground World but also had seen Ye Fan’s photo through some private club’s information and knew about Ye Fan’s hidden identity.

At this moment, seeing that the person who had alarmed Bai Luo was Ye Fan, he was first taken aback, then he realized it made sense—in the vast Dong hai, the only person who could make Bai Luo personally come over for a brawl was the Ye Fan in the video!

After coming to terms with it, the corpulent man’s brow furrowed tightly, and after a moment of pondering, he said nothing and slipped out of the restaurant’s back door directly.

Although he was curious about what kind of sparks the first confrontation between the prominent Ye Family’s illegitimate child and Young Master Bai would ignite, he also realized that a confrontation at this level was not something he could participate in. Leaving early was the best option; otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he might die!

Later, while the guests at Tan’s Private Restaurant were enjoying their free dinner and cheekily cursing as if they had gotten away with something, in a villa in the family quarters of the Dong hai City government.

Bai Luo leisurely changed into a casual suit, took his briefcase, and walked out of the villa’s hall.

"Lord Bai, are you going out?"

Just as Lord Bai stepped out, a figure flashed out of the shadows like a ghost, appearing in front of Bai Luo, and bowed to ask.

"The illegitimate son of Ye Wenhao attacked people at the Hong Ding Club. I’m going to handle it," Bai Luo nodded in response.

"Lord Bai, it’s said that Ye Wenhao’s illegitimate son possesses strength comparable to the Innate Great Success level and is arrogant and prone to violence at the slightest disagreement. I suggest that you avoid direct confrontation with him," the shadow spoke again. He was a guard secretly retained by the Ye Family, responsible for Bai Luo’s safety and naturally did not want to see Bai Luo risk his life confronting Ye Fan.

"I must go," Bai Luo shook his head, the Bai Family had just been severely weakened by a joint effort from the Ye Family and the Yanhuang Organization, and their morale had plummeted.

Under such circumstances, if the news that Ye Fan had Pan Jueming beat up Zheng Xun got out, and he, as the president of the Hong Ding Club, didn’t even dare to fart, his prestige at the Hong Ding Club would plummet, leading to instability within the club!

He couldn’t allow that to happen.

He vividly remembered a saying from the Bai Family head: "Once the people’s spirit is scattered, the team is hard to lead!"

"If Lord Bai insists on going, then if there is a conflict, I will use the ’Forbidden Technique’ to fend off Ye Wenhao’s illegitimate son, and you should leave immediately," hearing his decision, the shadow did not dare to persuade further and solemnly reminded him instead, being an Early Innate Martial Artist, the only way he could counter Ye Fan was to activate the Forbidden Technique!

"Uncle Zhong, conflict will definitely occur, but you don’t need to use the Forbidden Technique," Bai Luo smiled gently, "Often, what seems like a terrible thing is actually a blessing in disguise."

"Uh..."

Hearing Bai Luo’s words and seeing his gentle smile, the middle-aged man named Zhong initially paused, then braced himself.

Although he did not know what Bai Luo planned to do, he knew that when Bai Luo wore a gentle smile, it meant trouble for someone... (To be continued.
