Chapter 275: Chapter 0275 What Happened?

Li Guangyuan only felt that this voice was somewhat familiar; when he turned his head and clearly saw Duan Shaojie’s face, he was taken aback for a moment.

"Duan... Mr. Duan?"

Unlike the low-profile Chu Ge and the eccentric Xiahou Wudao, Duan Shaojie could be considered a rather normal young master of a wealthy family, possessing both intelligence and tactics, not forgetting to win over some smaller forces and often appearing in various social events, which naturally made him quite recognizable.

Moreover, the reason Li Guangyuan had come to the bar was after hearing that Duan Shaojie would be here tonight, hoping to maybe run into him and establish some connections.

Hearing the way Li Guangyuan addressed him, and then looking at the knife on the coffee table, Duan Shaojie’s brows instantly furrowed.

From the standoff between the two groups, it was clear that this was nothing good.

"What’s going on?" Duan Shaojie’s gaze suddenly turned grim.

Li Guangyuan’s heart pounded; he glanced at the two people sitting on the sofa opposite, pondered for a few seconds, and then suddenly startled: "Could it be, they are Mr. Duan’s friends?"

Duan Shaojie didn’t speak.

Li Guangyuan became even more convinced of his guess, hastily slapped his thigh and laughed: "Oh my, look at this mess, isn’t this the case of a flood washing over the Dragon Temple—a family not recognizing its own members? If you had said earlier they are Mr. Duan’s friends, this misunderstanding could have been avoided."

Seeing no reaction from them, Li Guangyuan’s sense of foreboding grew deeper, but at that moment, he had no choice but to pick up a cup of wine and bravely said: "Ah, but indeed this was my own fault. Accordingly, I will drink this cup as an apology!"

After saying that, he neatly drained the wine in the cup and then gestured towards the others with the empty cup.

Duan Shaojie glanced at the two men; Xiahou Wudao had no reaction, he was just watching Chu Ge. As for Chu Ge...he hadn’t even lifted his head, only casually playing with a glass in his hand.

Chu Ge was definitely not a kind person; tonight Li Guangyuan had the misfortune to provoke him directly. Being lofty doesn’t mean enduring the bullying of insignificant people, after all, even a lion would squash an irritating bug underfoot!

As mentioned earlier, Duan Shaojie isn’t a fool, nor is he a good person. His eyes shifted quickly between the men present, fully understanding how he should handle this situation.

"This matter is too big; I can’t decide on it." Duan Shaojie suddenly looked at Li Guangyuan and shook his head.

"Ah?" Li Guangyuan was startled, feeling a sudden surge of unease.

"This gentleman here is the second young master of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Wudao. As for this gentleman, he is Mr. Chu, whom I’ve mentioned to you before!"

When Duan Shaojie had come over earlier, he had already asked Jianuo to leave, and the surrounding crowd was dispersed far away. Thus, the onlookers from afar didn’t understand what exactly was happening; they just saw the previously arrogant Li Guangyuan, who now softly slid down from the sofa and ended up kneeling on the ground!

And Li Guangyuan, at this moment, felt as if his soul had already drifted far from himself. His mind was buzzing, with only one voice echoing repeatedly.

"Xiahou Wudao... Mr. Chu..."

If one were to describe it with an idiom, then "heart turned to ashes" was undoubtedly the best testimony to Li Guangyuan’s current state!

His family had repeatedly warned him, never to seek out the recently famous Mr. Chu, yet to his surprise, this excessively young-looking man turned out to be the rumored Mr. Chu!

As for deception? As a young master of the Duan Family, he had no reason to commit such deceit.

Looking at Li Guangyuan, who was now limp on the ground like a dead dog, Duan Shaojie waved his hand, and two security guards immediately came over and dragged Li Guangyuan out.

Earlier, Xiahou Wudao had quietly spoken to Chu Ge, indicating that if this matter were left to Duan Shaojie, given his ruthless methods, Li Guangyuan could probably end up crippled!

However, Chu Ge just slightly lifted his eyelid to look, yet did not stop them.

Once Li Guangyuan had been dragged away, Duan Shaojie made a gesture, "Mr. Chu, it’s rare for you to come here, sitting here is also too noisy. I’ve already prepared a top-level VIP room; how about you come with me?"

"Sure." Chu Ge nodded his head, stood up, and followed behind Duan Shaojie.

After the incidents just now, everyone’s attention was focused here. Chu Ge naturally did not want to be stared at as if he were a monkey, so he went along with the flow and followed Duan Shaojie up to the VIP room on the floor above.

The VIP room was on the third floor, where there were only two rooms: one office and the other this luxuriously arranged VIP room.

The floor of the VIP room was covered with a thick layer of velvet carpet, and the walls were one-way glass, from which one could see everything happening in the hall downstairs clearly, but those outside could not observe anything in the VIP room.

This demonstrated how much Duan Shaojie valued Chu Ge.

"It’s really quite a coincidence, I actually planned to find a suitable time to visit Mr. Chu, and I did not expect Mr. Chu to grace my humble bar. I am truly honored."

After entering the VIP room, Duan Shaojie first poured a few glasses of wine, handed them to the two men, and then looked at Chu Ge with a smile.

Chu Ge sat on the plush genuine leather sofa, looked at Duan Shaojie, and his eyes slightly narrowed: "You don’t hate me?"

"Hate you?" Duan Shaojie widened his eyes, showing a puzzled look: "I have no grudge against Mr. Chu, where would the hatred come from?"

If one didn’t know his character, perhaps they would indeed be deceived by his appearance, yet Chu Ge had no intention of playing Tai Chi with him and directly got to the point: "Duan Congxing, Mr. Duan, though not killed by me, could be said to have died because of me. And your Duan Family has lost so much in resources over these months, almost all related to me; you say you don’t hate me, that seems a bit too false, doesn’t it?"

Chu Ge calmly drank a sip of wine, just staring at him.

Duan Shaojie couldn’t help but shrink back, averting his gaze, not daring to meet Chu Ge’s sharp-eyed gaze any longer.

"Mr. Chu indeed misunderstood; not only do I not have the slightest hatred for Mr. Chu, but I am instead filled with gratitude!" Duan Shaojie took a deep breath, looked at Chu Ge, and earnestly said.

"Gratitude?" Chu Ge looked at him, a curious smile tugging at his lips.

"I’m curious now; tell me, how so?"

Indeed, facing someone who almost personally killed his grandfather, yet feeling gratitude?

According to normal thinking, it indeed is difficult to understand Duan Shaojie’s psychology.
