Chapter 617 (2/2)

The door to the next box was pushed open by Li Chunlei. After which, Huang Xu went inside with a grim face. His eyes only glanced at Wang Zidong before falling onto Du Yunjie’s ashen face and then indifferently said, “Recalling the account between us as old friends, and on the account of your big brother who has once helped me, I’ll give you an opportunity to go with me to the Seacraft Hall to apologize now. Otherwise…”

Huang Xu’s statement fanned the flames and incited Du Yunjie. He suddenly slapped the tabletop, got up and yelled, “Huang Xu, on which side are you standing? You want me to apologize to them, to those hillbillies coming from the countryside? How will I, Du Yunjie, still have a face with this shame in the future?”

Huang Xu narrowed his eyes and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Then, he said with a cold and detached tone, “I think your face is not as good as your life. Yes, I know that they may be hillbillies in your eyes, people from low social strata. But I wanna I ask you something if you really are determined to lose all decorum with them. How much power do your Du Family need to destroy the Long Family of Star City? You will only kill 1,000 at the cost of the deaths of 800 of your men. Does your Du Family really want to pay such a big price?”

The Long Family from Star City?

Was it the Long Family who was now rapidly developing and became the first prominent family in Star City? Then, that guy named Long Zhengyu was from that Long Family?

“I can tell you something more.” Huang Xu sneered. “Long Zhengyu is the eldest son of Long Hanwen and is the future heir of the Long Family’s Head. He’s very powerful by himself, and 50% of the Long Family’s businesses are now under his flag, whereas Long Hanwen himself highly regards and favors him. If the Long and Du Families were to really fight, Long Hanwen will definitely not hold back all the power his family has to act for his son. Then, what will the Du Family do to help you?”

Du Yunjie’s gasped for breath as his expression grew cloudy and unsettled. He realized the reasoning in Huang Xu’s argument. Though the Long Family was headquartered in Star City, their strength was definitely terrifying. In the case that, as Huang Xu said, he and Long Zhengyu were to tear off all decorum, his family would definitely not be willing to wage war just for this matter.

However, he didn’t want to lower his head to apologize, either!

Du Yunjie fell into silence for a while before raising his head reluctantly, and then coldly said, “I’m going to end this matter at this point since I’m looking at your face, Huang Xu. Tell them to come over here to settle this matter.”

Apparently, Huang Xu also realized that this was probably Du Yunjie’s bottom line and felt somewhat helpless inside. However, he still said, “Come with me if you want to reconcile with them!”

Du Yunjie scrunched up before getting up and saying, “Let’s go then!”

Inside the Seacraft Hall.

Tang Xiu and Long Zhengyu were having their meal when they saw Huang Xu entering. There was a smile on Tang Xiu’s face was in contrast to the cold and detached as he glanced at him. He then smiled and greet Huang Xu.

“T-Tang… Brother Tang Xiu?”

Huang Xu was utterly taken aback. He never imagined that the person who came with Long Zhengyu turned out to be Tang Xiu.

This incident was troublesome!

He was perfectly aware of how ruthless and merciless Tang Xiu could be, and was crystal clear that he was not just solely the owner behind the Magnificent Tang Corporation. His identity was not that simple since he was Beijing’s…

Pa…

All of a sudden, Huang Xu turned around, slapped Du Yunjie’s face and bellowed, “You have killed me, you fucking asshole! I, Huang Xu, have done a lot of shameful things, but today… now… I wish that I could find a hole to burrow myself into!”

“WHAT THE…”

The slap made Du Yunjie perplexed and stunned. This wasn’t what they had agreed to previously, was it?

Tang Xiu pointed to the nearby sofa and smilingly said, “Well, Zhengyu hadn’t had much to eat today, so it’s best to wait until he finishes his meal.”

Huang Xu squeezed out a smile and nodded before forcefully pulling the perplexed Du Yunjie and then sitting on that sofa.

Finally, Du Yunjie snapped back to his senses. He subconsciously lifted his hand to touch his slapped chin as anger exploded inside his chest. He stepped back and pointed at Huang Xu, cursing angrily, “Are you fucking insane, Huang Xu? Spit it out if a problem crops up. What the fuck did you lash out at me for?”

“Will you fucking shut up?” Huang Xu was also incensed. “Get your fucking ass and sit down next to me!”

Flames of anger burst inside Du Yunjie’s eyes as he yelled back, “Huang Xu, you’re really a fucking trash. You of all people are siding with the outsides instead of your own people. I, this Du Yunjie, finally see through you. Hmph… I may dread you, but I was never once afraid of you! Do you want to stick out with them and then flush your shit on me?”
