Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Misunderstanding?

Hu Biao speculated that Fang Bai was a master of Ancient Martial, as the shout he had directed at himself earlier contained special power. When it reached his ears, it was like a thunderclap, nearly scaring his soul out of his body.

When Hu Biao had first arrived, he saw the club hall inside and out packed with small-time hoodlums, fully expecting to intimidate everyone; however, Fang Bai’s low shout had completely shattered his confidence.

What Hu Biao feared most now was that if a confrontation ensued, and his men had to intervene, angering Fang Bai could lead to a scenario where he would shout at them. Whether the dozen or so officers, including himself, would still be able to hold onto their guns was uncertain.

That was why Hu Biao had suggested to Shen Dongxing that they strengthen the police presence, believing that they could intimidate Fang Bai with their greater numbers and deter him from rash actions.

As for Director Shen mentioning that Mayor Lu might come, Hu Biao subconsciously assumed that Mayor Lu, like Director Shen, was there to deal with Fang Bai. He never considered that Fang Bai had called the mayor himself.

About ten minutes later, a black sedan stopped before returning to base, and a thin young man around thirty-five years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, emerged from the passenger seat and hurriedly opened the rear car door.

Shen Dongxing and Hu Biao both recognized the thin young man, knowing he was Lu Xinghe’s personal secretary.

Since the secretary had arrived, it was certain that the person sitting in the back of the car was none other than Lu Xinghe himself.

This kid isn’t bluffing—he really does know Mayor Lu!

Shen Dongxing and Cheng Dihaou turned their heads to look at Fang Bai, with a hint of foreboding in their hearts.

Indeed, as the rear car door opened, Lu Xinghe, with a stern expression, got out of the car and, under the protection of his driver-cum-bodyguard Xiao Wang, quickly walked into the hall.

"Mayor Lu, you’ve arrived!"

"Mayor Lu, hello! I am Hu Biao, the brigade captain of Zhongzhou City Police Station!"

"Mayor Lu, welcome! I am Cheng Dihaou..."

Seeing Lu Xinghe arrive, Shen Dongxing, Hu Biao, and Cheng Dihaou hurriedly went to greet him.

Lu Xinghe saw that the hall was filled with many people, including quite a few who seemed like improper thugs, and thought something had happened, which gave him quite a shock.

Then, Lu Xinghe’s gaze swept across the hall, and when he caught sight of Fang Bai surrounded by numerous small-time thugs and a dozen police officers, his expression changed.

Although Fang Bai was young, he was a reclusive master with special abilities, who not only had done favors for the Lu Family but was also a close friend of his father. Should he provoke Fang Bai, the consequences could be unpredictable.

Although Lu Xinghe had never witnessed Fang Bai’s power firsthand, he had heard from Yang Hu—the captain of his father’s security—who said that he had lost to Fang Bai in a sparring session with just one move and admired him wholeheartedly.

According to Yang Hu, if Fang Bai used his full strength, even small arms like pistols might not pose a threat to him.

With his mysterious and incredible medical skills and being impervious to the threat of pistols, Fang Bai could be regarded as an extraordinary figure. People should be falling over themselves to flatter someone like that, yet Shen Dongxing and his people dared to offend him...

Looking at Shen Dongxing, Hu Biao, Cheng Dihaou, and others with their faces plastered with fake smiles, Lu Xinghe felt like kicking each of them in the face.

Hmph—

Frustrated, Lu Xinghe walked over without exchanging handshakes or pleasantries with Shen Dongxing and his two companions. He went straight to Fang Bai, who was still sitting on the sofa, and asked with a forced smile, "Mr. Fang, are you all right?"

Seeing Lu Xinghe ignoring them with a sullen face and instead taking the initiative to speak to Fang Bai, and moreover, doing so with such respect as if a junior greeting an elder, Shen Dongxing and the others were dumbfounded and felt a chill rise in their hearts.

After all, Lu Xinghe was a direct descendent and core member of the Yanjing Lu Family, and a rising star in the political arena. For someone like him to treat another person with such deference, who exactly could that person be?

The sight of the dignitary they often saw on TV newscasts treating Master Fang with such courtesy deeply shocked Ruan Hongpeng and the others, their respect and admiration for Fang Bai growing even more.

Shen Dongxing originally thought Fang Bai might just be a younger relative or friend of Lu Xinghe and didn’t take him too seriously. But now, seeing Lu Xinghe’s respectful attitude towards Fang Bai, his heart sank; he realized he might have kicked an iron plate this time.

Shen Dongxing exchanged a secretive glance with Cheng Dihaou. They made up their minds that, later on, they would insist Fang Bai was there to create trouble. With all the people inside and outside the hall as witnesses, as long as they clung to that point of righteousness, even if Lu Xinghe and Fang Bai had a good relationship, in front of such a crowd, he wouldn’t be able to defend Fang Bai openly.

"Mayor Lu, I’m fine. It’s just that the bouncers from this establishment deliberately attacked me and my friends, and Director Shen tried to detain me without any questions. That made me quite angry," Fang Bai spoke casually after inviting Lu Xinghe to sit.

Cheng Dihaou and Shen Dongxing saw Fang Bai playing the role of accuser first and exchanged uneasy glances, both growing anxious.

"Mayor Lu, regarding my people attacking Mr. Fang and his friends, I still have no understanding of the incident. I think this might be a misunderstanding..." Cheng Dihaou hastily defended.

"Mayor Lu, this man injured four guards at the entertainment establishment, barged into the hall with his people, and threatened Mr. Cheng to give up the club and leave Zhongzhou City. I saw all of it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Fearing a bloody incident, I had to call in reinforcements from the police force... Most people in the hall can testify to this," Shen Dongxing explained confidently.

"This..."

Lu Xinghe, having rushed here after receiving Fang Bai’s call, saw Fang Bai and Shen Dongxing, Cheng Dihaou stuck to their own versions, and was unsure who was telling the truth.

Regardless, Lu Xinghe was inclined to side with Fang Bai psychologically, as a Master like Fang Bai, an almost divine figure, wouldn’t stoop to quarrel with mere mortals like Shen Dongxing and Cheng Dihaou unless provoked.

"Misunderstanding?"

Fang Bai sneered coldly, "If Mr. Cheng doesn’t know what happened, why not ask your subordinates, Brother Wolf and Abiao, and see if I’m lying."

"Fine, I’ll question those two rascals... If they truly offended Mr. Fang, I’ll break their legs myself and have them crawl over to apologize to Mr. Fang!"

Cheng Dihaou, convinced by Fang Bai’s certainty, was about to call Brother Wolf to verify the facts when suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall. Drenched, Brother Wolf, Abiao, and their companions walked in.

Having been thrown into the river by Fang Bai, Brother Wolf, Abiao, and the others knew he was no ordinary person. After climbing ashore, they gathered at "Di Hao Entertainment" to seek their boss’s help in avenging themselves. But to their surprise, upon entering the hall, the first person they saw was Fang
