Chapter 1103: Chapter 570: Gilding the Lily

Boss Yan never saw himself as an arrogant and domineering person, but when he did get arrogant, it was truly not something an ordinary person could match—at least it was more than the average person could tolerate.

This middle-aged man with a cropped haircut, Brother Hao, also prided himself on being cultured, but hearing Yan Fei’s comment about the "nice environment," he nearly exploded with rage—so according to you, I’ve taken all this trouble to build a compound on this mountaintop that’s even better than a villa, just so that people can disappear for three to five days without anyone noticing? Are you planning to wipe us all out in one go?

"Little brother, aren’t you exaggerating a bit?" Brother Hao said with a sardonic laugh, managing to address him as ’little brother,’ which took some restraint. "All of us here, just by you and the person behind you, you can make us all vanish? I, Jin Wanhao, have been through a lot over the years, seen all kinds of storms. But I have to say I find your words a bit hard to believe!"

Jin Er standing behind couldn’t help wanting to speak up, but upon gauging the distance between himself and Yan Fei, he wisely backed off a few steps and swallowed what he was about to say.

"This place doesn’t even have surveillance, right? And all those little gadgets your men rely on, I’ve played with them too, to be honest, they’re of no use to me..." Yan Fei said, expressionless. He had only spoken half a sentence when he suddenly didn’t feel like elaborating, so he simply stated outright.

"Enough with the nonsense, it’s pointless. Seeing a lot of stormy weather doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve seen all types. There are always some people you just can’t afford to offend. I may not have much skill, but I should be counted as one of them."

You, my old man, are just too "modest," so "modest" that we’re all feeling quite embarrassed!

The faces of everyone in the room all more or less showed this sentiment...

Brother Hao finally ran out of things to say, with a remark like that, what could anyone say in response?

In his intense irritation, Brother Hao suddenly felt that perhaps he didn’t need to be so angry. After all, wasn’t this just some skilled and naive young man?

Aren’t all young people like this nowadays? Especially his own son and that nephew who was still covering his face, weren’t they all just the same?

Thinking of his son, Brother Hao was filled with emotion.

Their mother died young, and then he himself had taken a younger woman, which the son hadn’t liked one bit. Fortunately, later this woman bore him twins, and the son did like his much younger brothers, which somewhat eased the tensions in the household...

"That’s quite a severe accusation, isn’t it? Are we really such sworn enemies?" Brother Hao said, momentarily lost in thought before addressing the young man before him with a casual question—truly, he also wondered why it was so hard to talk to the young people these days.

And so, Yan Fei had a barely perceptible moment of stupor, as he was still considering, if he really made everyone in the courtyard mysteriously disappear as he had said he would, how he would deal with his bodyguard, Jia Hao—should he ask him to go down the mountain first and wait for him?

Unexpected was Brother Hao’s sudden change of attitude...

Yan Fei was unaware that his own problem was being too honest, always speaking the harsh truth—just as he told Xu Xiaoyan that he played with dinosaurs, sometimes the truth isn’t easily believed. Brother Hao took his truth for the naivety of youth.

"I hate trouble!" Yan Fei quickly snapped out of his daze and blurted out the sentence.

"Hahaha..." Brother Hao suddenly burst into laughter. "Hate trouble? Then why don’t you accept my terms? I give you the money, you take it and walk away, wouldn’t that mean no trouble? I hate trouble too, so I had the down payment sent back to you, to spare you from lingering here and getting involved in this troublesome affair, right?"

Sometimes, that’s how things are. When both sides are locked in a stalemate, each is too stubborn to see beyond their own point of view. But now due to Brother Hao’s recent distraction, he found this stubborn and somewhat childish young man not so detestable anymore.

So he went on to say a few more words, "When I was making a name for myself in the underworld many years ago, earning the moniker Brother Hao, it was because I never partook in pettiness. With this matter, I feel I’ve done everything humanly possible. I’m even willing to cover your expenses here, so why won’t you accept my terms? Could this little hotel really mean so much to you?"

Had it not been brought up, Yan Fei might have calmed down, but the mention reignited his anger, "What do you mean by that? When have you covered our expenses? We gave that hotel fifty thousand yuan, and you sent over just five thousand yuan, are you treating us like beggars... Money is a small matter. Do you think I’m someone who deserves your contempt?"

"Five thousand yuan?" Brother Hao was stunned.

It wasn’t just Brother Hao who was stunned—even the fierce-looking man beside him was taken aback.

However, there was one person who didn’t freeze; Jin Er didn’t freeze.

This kid’s cheeks were red with handprints. He had wanted to interrupt several times, but never found the opportunity.

Mainly because he was preparing to interject; every time he thought to speak up, he couldn’t resist retreating a few steps to put more distance between himself and Yan Fei, and now he was almost out the door—far enough from Yan Fei that his slap wouldn’t reach him.

But before Jin Er could explain, the conversation between Yan Fei and Brother Hao had already nearly clarified things, and his face turned vivid with emotion.

Before Jin Er could get a word out, Brother Hao, seeing him at the doorway, already had a sense of what had happened: "The money he brought to you, was it five thousand yuan?"
