Chapter 178: Chapter 0178: Give You an Explanation
"Who else could it be but me?" A middle-aged man’s voice came through the phone. Even though Chu Ge hadn’t turned on speaker mode, his loud voice still made it crystal clear to everyone around.
"Ma... Brother Ma, you know this kid?" Huang Gou glanced at Chu Ge and asked in a lowered voice.
"Quit your yapping and apologize to Mr. Chu, right now!" Ma Youcai’s voice carried a hint of urgency. He naturally didn’t care about Huang Gou’s life or death, but he was worried that Chu Ge would come after him because of Huang Gou’s business.
"Ap... apologize?" Huang Gou was stunned. "But, wasn’t that Master Snake’s order?"
"What time do you think it is, still TM Master Snake?" Ma Youcai let out a sigh and said, "Poison Snake killed himself, and now Hu is calling the shots. And the one who drove Poison Snake to his death, is that Mr. Chu standing next to you!"
"Ah?" Huang Gou was now utterly dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Chu Ge watched him with a smile that was not quite a smile, having not said a word from start to finish.
How coincidental this was—when he went on a rampage at Huo Tianqian’s headquarters company, the driver who had driven for him and Ah Hu was none other than Ma Youcai!
Ma Youcai was quite the opportunist. With Poison Snake in power, he naturally hung around with him. Later, seeing Ah Hu and Chu Ge arriving on the scene, especially after Chu Ge showed off his superhuman combat power, he promptly switched allegiance to Ah Hu.
With all the recent changes and major purges within the ranks, although Ma Youcai had been a weathervane figure, he did possess some managerial skills, so Ah Hu let him continue to serve as a minor leader for the time being.
"Anyway, now Hu is in charge. And Mr. Chu is Hu’s life-saving benefactor. Hu listens to him in every respect. You better figure it out yourself, don’t drag me into this—du du du—"
After saying this, Ma Youcai on the other end simply hung up the call.
"You’re done?" Chu Ge took the phone back, looking at Huang Gou with a light chuckle.
Huang Gou stared blankly at Chu Ge, then after a few seconds of being dazed, suddenly burst into tears with his mouth agape.
"Mr. Chu! No, Mr. Chu, Grandpa Chu! This junior was ignorant, I’ve startled you!"
Under the astonishingly shocked gazes of everyone present, Huang Gou immediately knelt in front of Chu Ge, one hand grasping his leg, the other wiping the tears: "Grandpa Chu, I was misled by others before! Poison Snake, that bastard Poison Snake, he’s the one who fooled me, please see the truth!"
"You..." Chu Ge was somewhat speechless as he looked at Huang Gou, who was on the ground sniveling and weeping.
Not just Huang Gou—all the surrounding hoodlums also knelt down on the ground. Dozens of people kneeling in a circle around one person was a rare sight indeed, even some employees took out their phones to snap photos as keepsakes.
These hoodlums had all spent some time inside and had gotten familiar with the strict rules over a few months. As far as today’s incident, if this person didn’t make a fuss about it, then it would be over. But if he did take it seriously, everyone present would be in trouble, and there would probably not be a single one left unharmed.
"Sha sha... sha sha..."
A sound of metal grinding against the ground rang out. Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Chu Ge pinched one end of a steel rod with two fingers, appearing effortlessly as he pulled the steel rod, deeply embedded in the concrete ground, back up again.
"Clang—" With a light flick of his wrist, the steel rod landed in front of Huang Gou.
"In principle, I shouldn’t really bother with you; after all, it would be beneath me." Chu Ge dusted off his hands, looking at Huang Gou indifferently: "But you’ve caused such a big scene. If I let you go back without any consequences, I’m afraid others might think I’m easy to bully in the future."
As he said this, Chu Ge stepped back a few paces, staring at Huang Gou: "Give me an explanation."
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and the surrounding thugs all turned their heads, looking anxiously at Huang Gou.
In that moment, Huang Gou’s forehead was already covered with cold sweat. He took a few deep breaths and suddenly shouted, "Skinny, San Yan, Haozi, Big River, you four come over here!"
The four named did not dare hesitate, they quickly walked over to Huang Gou and then knelt down again.
Huang Gou looked at them and let out a bitter laugh: "You should all be aware of the situation by now. If we don’t give a satisfactory explanation, we would be lucky to even keep our lives once we go back."
"Mr. Chu, I’ll explain!"
Huang Gou, it must be said, was rather manly. Picking up a steel pipe from the ground, he gritted his teeth and fiercely struck his own left hand with all his might.
"Crack—" With a crisp sound, Huang Gou’s left hand was visibly twisted in an unnatural way, clearly indicating that the bones inside had been broken by the blow.
"Aooow—" Huang Gou howled in pain, desperately enduring, and then threw the pipe in front of those four men.
Four consecutive crisp sounds.
Watching the five people rolling on the ground, clutching their arms and wailing, Chu Ge nodded, "All of you, get lost!"
The gang didn’t dare to delay, they hurriedly helped the five men up, scrambling and rolling to a few buses parked by the roadside, then vanished in the dust.
With the departure of Huang Gou and his men, the martial law state at the company’s entrance naturally dissipated as well. Since Mu Bingtong was standing there, the employees did not dare to ask any questions and all left in silence.
It was Wang Shunjie who was awestruck by Chu Ge, regarding him almost as if he were looking at a deity, filled with immense admiration.
After all, as someone who had once been part of the lowest social stratum, Wang Shunjie did actually know Huang Gou. Of course, he only knew some background information, and they weren’t friends.
And Ma Youcai, he was even the leading figure in a certain area!
Yet Chu Ge managed to make these individuals revere him like deities, which made Wang Shunjie feel incredibly relieved about the wise decision he had made in the past. It was good that he knew how to assess the situation back then, for if he had kept opposing Chu Ge... he couldn’t even bear to think of the consequences.
Mu Bingtong didn’t say much, just waited until Chu Ge started driving. Halfway through the journey, Mu Bingtong, sitting in the backseat, finally spoke, "Do you have a connection with Huo Tianqian?"
As the Chairwoman of Jinxiu Group and among the upper echelons of Shanghai, she naturally knew of some circles that ordinary people couldn’t even touch.
"Sort of," Chu Ge nodded, not planning to hide this from Mu Bingtong.
After all, having spent a considerable amount of time together, some things couldn’t be hidden even if one wanted to, so it would be better to let her get to know some things slowly when opportunities arose.
Hearing Chu Ge’s straightforward admission, Mu Bingtong’s brows furrowed slightly: "Huo Tianqian is just too dangerous... You’d better minimize your contact with him."
"Don’t worry," Chu Ge noncommittally responded to Mu Bingtong’s advice.
To ordinary people, Huo Tianqian was a tiger, always a threat. But to him, Huo Tianqian was nothing more than a house cat that he could play with at will.
Such is the world through the eyes of the powerful!
