Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Mysterious Xiao Zheng

Because Xiao Zheng from six years ago would not have been so merciful. Anyone who offended the Master of the Tianji Sect hardly ended well. However, the current Xiao Zheng seemed to exude a benevolent demeanor.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao, thank you, Brother Xiao; I will leave immediately and will never appear in Zhonghai again. Please rest assured, Brother Xiao!" Hong Tianzhao, who had been granted a pardon for his life, almost crawled out of the private room.

He was the owner of this club and had managed it for many years with impressive connections and tactics.

But before the Luo Sheng Sect, he was worthless!

At this moment, Liu Xiaoning saw that Hong Tianzhao had left and quickly got up, prepared to leave this place of trouble under the escort of his subordinates.

But how could Xiao Zheng possibly just let him leave?

"Mr. Liu is leaving just like that, isn’t that a bit too casual?" Xiao Zheng spoke as if he were a king.

Instantly, all the thugs in the private room blocked Liu Xiaoning’s way.

Liu Xiaoning turned pale with fear.

He turned to Luo Yusheng, who had a cold expression, and said, "Brother Luo, my father is Liu Zhonghua. He even had dinner and drinks with you before, have you forgotten?"

Liu Xiaoning believed that, with his father’s influence, Luo Yusheng wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

But, he was mistaken.

Not to mention Liu Xiaoning’s father, even if his father were there in person today, Luo Yusheng wouldn’t care.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng had already stood up.

He curled his lips, revealing a wicked smile as he looked at the panicked Liu Xiaoning, and jokingly said, "Mr. Liu just wanted to break my legs? Fine, I’ll grant your wish."

After speaking, Xiao Zheng glanced at Luo Yusheng from the corners of his eyes.

Luo Yusheng, having known Xiao Zheng for many years, naturally understood the hint. With a wave of his hand, immediately two burly men walked over to Liu Xiaoning and pinned him to the ground.

"Brother Luo! Brother Luo! You can’t do this! I am Liu Zhonghua’s son. We always see each other in public, and I’m his only son, you really..."

"Hmph, it’s not just you; even if Liu Zhonghua himself were here, I, Luo Yusheng, would not care," Luo Yusheng sneered, gesturing with his hand for the men to take Liu Xiaoning out and break his leg.

"No! No!!! Luo Yusheng, if you dare break my leg, my father will not forgive you! Just you wait!!! Ahhh!!!"

Amid Liu Xiaoning’s agonizing screams, the people in the private room finally came to their senses.

This seemingly ordinary young man was someone even Luo Yusheng, the owner of Luo Sheng Sect, dared not provoke.

"Brother Xiao, could we talk?" Luo Yusheng approached Xiao Zheng, having not seen him for many years, his heart filled with much he wanted to say.

Xiao Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Not today, maybe some other time."

After speaking, he gently patted Luo Yusheng on the shoulder, with a smile that was not quite a smile, and took Anna’s delicate hand to walk out of the private room.

Only then did Anna slowly come to her senses.

Watching Xiao Zheng leave, Luo Yusheng’s gaze was somewhat desolate, with a strong sense of unease in his heart. He wanted to speak, but couldn’t find the words to do so.

After leaving the club, Xiao Zheng leisurely lit a cigarette, his gaze complex as he looked at the dark sky.

Six years ago, there was only one power in Zhonghai City, and that was the Tianji Sect.

And Xiao Zheng was the Sect Leader of Tianji Sect.

Unexpectedly, less than a year after his departure, the Tianji Sect, which had dominated the entire Zhonghai City, collapsed and eventually split into four factions.

Divided into the East District, South District, West District, and North District.

And the so-called Luo Sheng Sect was merely a branch that had separated from the Tianji Sect.

However, the brothers of the past had now each become a formidable power in their own right.

Xiao Zheng’s return, did it affect them, and would they still recognize him as the Sect Leader? These were the issues troubling Xiao Zheng.

Although he no longer harbored such ambitions, could those brothers who had become powerful figures tolerate his presence? Would they see Xiao Zheng as a threat?

"How many secrets are you hiding?"

After leaving the club, Mo Anna couldn’t wait to know more about Xiao Zheng’s identity.

To this day, the courage and tactics displayed by Xiao Zheng had astounded Mo Anna.

Xiao Zheng gave a bitter smile and said, "What secrets, Sister Mo? You think too highly of me."

"Psh, keep pretending. We all have our eyes on you; you think you can hide, but don’t you think we can see through you?"

Mo Anna gave him a playful look.

"Yes, yes, Brother Xiao, just who are you really? I’m both amazed and shocked by you now." The few security guards were already treating Xiao Zheng like a deity.

Even the proud He Qiang now understood just how big the gap between himself and Xiao Zheng was.

"Get lost, get lost, I’m not as great as you guys make me out to be." Xiao Zheng laughed and scolded, handing out cigarettes to everyone.

"Brother Xiao, even Yusheng, the boss of Luo Sheng Sect, has to respectfully call you Brother Xiao; can you still claim you’re not a real big shot?"

"Yes, Brother Xiao, you’re being too modest."

Everyone chimed in, elevating Xiao Zheng higher and higher.

Xiao Zheng, however, shook his head sadly, a gesture that did not go unnoticed by the crowd.

"What’s wrong, Brother Xiao?"

"Sigh, you’re still too young. Some things are not as they seem," Xiao Zheng said, shaking his head in sorrow.

"Actually, my relationship with Yusheng is quite complicated. When we were young, our families were poor, and we used to beg for food together. Because I was physically stronger, I would share some of the food I got with him. Over time, he started treating me like an older brother.

Forced by life’s demands, I left Zhonghai City for years, and when I came back, my once close friend had risen to prominence, while I was utterly defeated. That’s why I never contacted him. Tonight, when he saw me, he was naturally overjoyed..."

Xiao Zheng vividly portrayed his emotions and scheme.

He absolutely baffled them with his act.

After all, they weren’t going to ask Yusheng about it, so whatever Xiao Zheng said was taken as the truth.

After listening, the security guards shook their heads, empathizing with Xiao Zheng’s dismal plight.

Even Mo Anna was almost fooled by him.

When the security guards had all left, Mo Anna pinched his waist hard, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Sister Mo, why did you pinch me?"

"Hmph, I must admit, you’re quite good at making up stories. Do you really think you can fool me?" Mo Anna crossed her arms and looked at him with a smirk.

She didn’t believe a word of Xiao Zheng’s fanciful tales about their childhood poverty, begging together, and being emotionally overwhelmed at their reunion.

In Mo Anna’s view, it was all just deception.
