Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Negotiation Failure_1

“Bang!”

The door was kicked open from the outside, causing everyone in the lounge to look over.

Xu Fan walked in with a calm expression, followed closely by Lu Chenbing.

Zhou Xian sized up Xu Fan, his heart filled with suspicion. Was this the mysterious person who had promised to protect me via telepathy?

He didn’t look the part; not a trace of an Ancient Martial Artist’s aura was revealed.

Xu Fan glanced around the room then nodded slightly at Zhou Xian, signaling him to be at ease.

That look managed to calm Zhou Xian considerably. For some reason, he felt he could trust the young man, so he hurried to recover his strength, as the situation was still unclear.

“Fuck, do you think you can just come in here whenever you want? Tired of living, are you?” one of the armed bodyguards threatened with a vicious look on his face.

Cui Dong waved his hand to silence him, then suddenly burst into a ferocious smile and clapped his hands. “Perfect, I’ve been wondering how to find you, and here you are, delivering yourself. Well then, let’s settle this together.”

Hearing this inexplicable speech, Xu Fan was a bit dumbfounded. Who was this ugly guy? He definitely didn’t recognize him.

If there was a feud with his former self, his merged memories contained no trace of this person. Could there have been a mistake in his memories?

Xu Fan quickly searched his memories, confirmed he didn’t know this person, and then hesitated to ask, “You, who are you?”

Cui Dong was nearly hopping mad, cursing, “Damn it, you rob me and now you’re trying to deny it?”

“What’s going on? Make yourself clear!” Xu Fan looked utterly bewildered.

“It seems you truly have forgotten about me.”

Cui Dong felt like he was hitting air, his teeth itching with rage as he burned with anger. “You damn jerk, you rushed out of the car and kicked me, and on top of that, you stole my beloved car. How long has it been, and you’ve already forgotten?”

Xu Fan then remembered — it was indeed that incident, but it had been an emergency, and he couldn’t be blamed. At that time, the guy was wearing a helmet that covered his face, so he didn’t get to see his features.

“Sorry, there was indeed such an incident.” Xu Fan touched his nose and embarrassedly chuckled. “There was a reason for it. I’ll apologize to you, and your car will be returned to you, OK?”

“Hmph, you make it sound so easy.” Cui Dong barked furiously, “How about I take your wife, use her, and then return her to you? How would you feel? Uncomfortable, right? Let me make it clear to you, this isn’t over.”

“Then what’s your solution?”

Seeing Cui Dong being so unreasonable, Xu Fan was also somewhat displeased. It was already a miracle he was lowering himself to speak kindly.

But the other party simply didn’t appreciate it. Fine, you want to play rough? That can be arranged.

A cold light flashed in Cui Dong’s eyes: “I don’t want to make this too big, just break one of your legs simply, as a generous act on my part.”

Xu Fan’s expression turned sour.

This guy had no idea the extent of his folly. A little puppy had the gall to try breaking a tiger’s leg; he was truly courting death. Just as Xu Fan was about to make a move and teach this person a harsh lesson.

“Elder Brother Xu, don’t be angry, it’s not worth it.”

At that moment, Lu Chenbing gave him a meaningful look before stepping forward and calmly said, “Young Master Cui, could you possibly not hold a grudge for my sake?”

Cui Dong’s eyebrows furrowed, he couldn’t help but ponder for a while. Lu Chenbing was an exceedingly prominent figure in Zhonghai City, even more influential and powerful than his own father. Even if he wanted to cause trouble, he had to consider whether his father had the capacity to handle it. Cui Dong had caused a lot of trouble in the past, all because his father could settle it. But that didn’t mean his father could fix everything.

Cui Dong hesitated for a moment. Lu Chenbing curled his lips into a smile, “Consider this a favor from me.”

Cui Dong immediately grinned. A favor from Lu Chenbing was something many people couldn’t even ask for, and after all, he hadn’t suffered any loss, merely missing out on venting his anger.

Moreover, his father was recently dealing with a tricky matter. If Lu Chenbing could put in a good word, that situation would naturally smooth out. Thus, his father wouldn’t constantly scold him as incompetent, and would surely have some words of praise for him.

With this in mind, Cui Dong adopted a magnanimous demeanor and said, “Uncle Lu, what are you talking about? Do I look like such a petty person?”

Lu Chenbing also smiled, “Of course, Young Master Cui is nothing like that. Well, that being so, I’ll take my leave with my friends today, and will be sure to visit another day.”

Then, with a wave of his hand, he gestured to Zhou Xian, curling his finger: “Let’s go.”

“Wait!” However, Cui Dong raised his hand and called out.

“What’s the matter? Is there still an issue?” Lu Chenbing looked puzzled.

Cui Dong spread his hands and frowned, “Uncle Lu, I have no objections to you taking this man, after all, it was just about him taking my car, and that can still be returned. But this boxer, no way. He won the match but caused me a heavy loss. I’m not feeling good about it at all, and I was just planning to break his legs to vent my anger. Uncle Lu, you surely don’t intend to protect him as well, do you?”

Zhou Xian, who had been feeling relieved, started to feel uncertain again upon hearing Cui Dong’s insistent tone, growing nervous at the thought that Cui Dong might choose to pursue matters even at the risk of a fallout, leaving no room for a turnaround.

It seemed that he had to rely on himself; if things turned sour, he would have to run away immediately.

With that thought in mind, Zhou Xian once again assessed the condition of the bodyguards, looking for an opportunity he could seize to escape.

Lu Chenbing’s expression turned somewhat displeased. He was usually someone who practiced self-cultivation and treated others with kindness, rarely ever getting angry. But once someone did anger him, the consequences would be very severe.

He would go to great lengths to retaliate against his opponents. At the least, he could make someone lose their job and their company go bankrupt. At the worst, he could ruin families and lives.

And this junior before him seemed to have forgotten the legends about him in the martial world, now acting up, stirring his anger.

“Brother Chen Bing, seems like even your intervention isn’t effective, guess it’s time for me to step in,” said Xu Fan, noticing his troubled expression and couldn’t help but tease him.

Having said this much, Lu Chenbing also gave up on meddling in others’ business. If the other party was courting death, he couldn’t do anything about it. So, let him taste the bitterness himself.

Consequently, Lu Chenbing unhesitatingly stepped aside, adopting an attitude of watching from the sidelines.

Cui Dong couldn’t help feeling a bit triumphant — he never thought there would come a day when he would dare to refuse even the face of Lu Chenbing. His confidence surged, and seeing Xu Fan once again stepping up, he let out a laugh, laden with a mocking tone.

“So you guys have a plan B, huh? Bring it out then, let’s see what you can do to me,” he taunted.
