Chapter 145 Face-to-face Engagemen (1/2)
t
These people were furious. The Long Family had never received such a treatment in the northern region. Even if it was just a servant from the Long Family, no one would dare to offend him or her. However, they had suffered a lot in Jiang City. It was very embarrassing.
However, they dared not say anything. They could only be angry. No matter how powerful the Long Family was, this was Master Hou's territory after all. An outsider, however strong, should never bully the local. These people looked at one another and said, ”Retreat.”
They came quickly and left faster than they came.
When these people left, Master Hou looked at Ye Xiaoxi and said benevolently like an elder, ”Don't worry and don't be afraid. This is Jiang City. Long Family doesn't call the shots here. As I have paid my respect, I will go first. If you need any help in the future, please contact me.”
Ye Xiaoxi was smart. She understood the intention behind Master Hou's action. On the one hand, he wanted to side with Brother Bing and her. On the other hand, he wanted to provoke the Long Family. He wanted to let Long Family know that although they were powerful, they couldn't capture Jiang City that easily. Furthermore, Jiang City would not yield easily.
Initially, it was a simple matter. However, through Master Hou's assistance, it had become slightly complicated.
However, after all, Ye Family owed Master Hou this favour. Ye Xiaoxi said gratefully, ”Thank Master Hou for coming forward. Please return.”
Master Hou nodded. When he passed by Xiao Bing, he suddenly handed Xiao Bing a name card and said smilingly, ”At three p.m., please go over and have a meal if you have the time.”
Xiao Bing received his name card and watched Master Hou leave. After the others saw this scene, they all realized that after the death of North Heaven Queen, Master Hou had no intention to kill Xiao Bing. Instead, he wanted to rope Xiao Bing in. It seems that Xiao Bing was currently very close to Master Hou. Furthermore, Master Hou came to Xiao Bing's aid just now.
However, they are worldly-wise. Although Master Hou and Long family had a delicate relationship, Long Family coveted H province. However, Jiang City was a stumbling block. Although Master Hou was influential in Jiang City, Long Family was a colossus, who possessed the underground of two and a half provinces after all. Hence, Master Long had kept a low profile all the time and didn't dare to provoke the Long Family. However, they fell out today.
What would Long Family do? Would they take the opportunity to kill them? If they strike, was Master Hou strong enough to withstand the powerful Long Family? There were many questions left unanswered.
Of course, even if they doubted Master Hou, as long as Master Hou was around, Master Hou still controlled Jiang City. With a casual order, he could destroy the families of most here.
The emperor of Jiang City's underworld wasn't joking.
Xiao Bing also knew this, so he never thought of refusing Master Hou's invitation.
After attending the funeral with Yezi, Xiao Bing asked Yezi to wait for him at home tonight. He then brought Dumbass to the location Master Hou had suggested.
Master Hou invited Xiao Bing to a clubhouse called Nine Heavens. When Xiao Bing mentioned the name Nine Heavens, the taxi driver was in awe. Xiao Bing could sense that those people who could access the clubhouse were extraordinary.
The taxi driver drove out of the city. Few Western-style buildings and European villas gradually appeared. Finally, he saw a western-style four-storey large building in front of him. The words 'Nine Heavens' were written on the plague. It looked exotic and magnificent.
The driver pulled up to the door and stopped. Xiao Bing paid the cab fare and both of them alighted. Dumbass' eyes lit up and shouted, ”Brother Bing, this place looks good. Is there a lot of delicious food here?”
Xiao Bing laughed and said, ”You shouldn't call yourself Dumbass. You should call yourself glutton. Let's go, don't let the host wait too long. ”
Xiao Bing walked over on crutches. Dumbass was following him like a bodyguard. The receptionist at the door reached out to stop Xiao Bing and said solemnly, ”Sir, please show me your membership card.”
”Membership card? I don't have.” Xiao Bing laughed and said, ”Master Hou invited us.”
The two men’s attitude changed. They immediately became respectful and said, ”Are you Mr. Xiao, the distinguished guest of Master Hou?”
”Yes.”
”Please come in quickly.”
Xiao Bing smiled and walked in on crutches.
The hall on the first floor is resplendent and magnificent.
Xiao Bing glanced at the receptionist beside the door and asked, ”Where is Master Hou? Take me there.”
”Yes, sir. Please come with me.”
The beautiful female receptionist led Xiao Bing into the bathing area and arrived at a separate changing room. After entering, she smiled sweetly and said to Xiao Bing, ”Master Hou is in room 1. The VIP room is reserved for Master Hou. Even if Master Hou does not come, other people will not use it. Please take off your clothes, Mr. Xiao. You can just enter the room in a moment.”
Xiao Bing agreed and said, ”OK.”
