Clap! Clap! Clap!
"I'm... sorry, I'm s... sorry. I apologize, please... stop hitting me."
Finally, Zhao Lei couldn't withstand Bi Dou's continuous blows and surrendered.
He had lost several of his front teeth and begged for mercy with slurred speech.
Upon hearing this.
Lin Xuan finally stopped, rubbing his sore arm.
Sigh~~~
It seems that beating someone up is also physically exhausting!
…..
On the other side.
Seeing Lin Xuan stop, even though Zhao Hu was unhappy, he could only clasp his hands together and force a smile: "For my son Zhao Lei's rudeness, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Su and everyone here."
Although Zhao Hu spoke apologetically, his eyes never left Su Fan.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that his concession was entirely because of Su Fan.
However, what made Zhao Hu uneasy was…
No matter how much he tried to curry favor, Su Fan kept his hands in his pockets, maintaining a completely expressionless face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Seeing Su Fan's cold and indifferent attitude,
He Yi Cheng and the others were getting extremely anxious.
This guy is overdoing it!
Does he really think he's a martial arts grandmaster?
Since Lord Hu has given a way out, why not take it and end this incident?
If they delay any longer, things might get worse!!!
"It's nothing, nothing. Lord Hu, there's no need for this, it's all just a misunderstanding!"
"Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, everyone is happy. Alright, we've been delayed for quite a while."
"Tonight is mainly about celebrating my girlfriend's birthday. We still have things to do, so we'll take our leave first."
"......"
Grabbing Kong Lian's hand, He Yi Cheng was only thinking about making a quick escape.
As for whether Lord Hu would seek revenge once he found out the truth…
Right now, He Yi Cheng didn't want to think about it, or rather…
He didn't dare to think about it. He could only take things one step at a time!
Hearing He Yi Cheng suggesting to leave, Kong Lian and their friends immediately seized the chance to respond positively.
They had been dying to leave this place.
If they stayed any longer, they were afraid their hearts wouldn't be able to take it!
This was way too intense!!!
Finding a "fake master" to bluff in front of Lord Hu, and somehow fooling their way through~~
If this experience were written into a novel, readers would probably complain…
"This plot is way too fake."
Seeing everyone wanting to leave, Zhao Hu didn't react much—his target had always been Su Fan alone.
"Mr. Su, do you have some time? May I invite you to a private dinner as a sincere apology?"
Hearing Zhao Hu's request, He Yi Cheng and the others were startled—leave Su Fan alone with him?
Wouldn't the danger of exposure increase exponentially?!
"No way! Su Fan is my bodyguard; how can he leave my side?"
Chen Kexin was the first to step up and reject Zhao Hu's proposal.
After all, she was the one who pulled Su Fan into this.
There was no way she would leave him alone—what if something happened?!
Seeing this, Kong Lian and the others exchanged glances.
Though they were afraid, they still gritted their teeth and supported Chen Kexin.
"Lord Hu, we're all together. We said we'd celebrate the birthday together, no one can be missing."
"Next time, Lord Hu! Su Fan and I have an appointment to go get a foot massage later."
"ヽ(￣ω￣(￣ω￣〃)ゝ"
"......."
Looking at the group constantly making excuses to protect him,
For some reason, Su Fan felt a rare warmth in his heart.
These rich kids… aren't so bad after all!
It had been a long time since he had felt this way.
In the past, no matter where he went, he always faced ridicule alone, and he had never had any true friends to confide in.
But now, so many people were standing up for him.
A slight smile finally appeared on Su Fan's previously expressionless face.
Tsk tsk tsk…
Something about this scene feels off!
A group of rich second-generation heirs who were supposed to be cannon fodder villains, not only weren't humiliated by the protagonist, but they were actually standing up for him instead?
This was like… a cow pressing a doorbell—absolutely legendary.
Lin Xuan rubbed his chin with an amused expression.
"Don't worry. I actually have some business to discuss with Zhao Hu. You guys go ahead."
Su Fan raised a hand, first expressing his gratitude, then stating that he intended to stay.
Regarding the Su family, he had decided to gather some intelligence from Zhao Hu…
Seeing Su Fan's firm attitude, He Yi Cheng and the others were confused but didn't insist further.
At that moment, Chen Kexin furrowed her brows and squeezed through the crowd.
"Be careful. If anything happens, call me."
"And take this for self-defense!"
After saying that, Chen Kexin handed her red backpack to Su Fan, which still contained her remaining two "big weapons"…
Finally, the two groups temporarily parted ways, leaving Su Fan alone in the "King's" private room.
"Master Su, please have a seat, please have a seat."
Zhao Hu was extremely hospitable, first inviting Su Fan to sit at the head of the table.
Then he ordered his men—A Jian and the others—to take Zhao Lei outside, and also sent away Lin Jianjun and his son.
Soon, only Su Fan and Zhao Hu remained in the private room.
"How did you recognize me?"
Su Fan asked directly.
"Oh, that! I work under the Han family. Miss Han Xinqiao sent me your photo and instructed us to look for you."
"By the way, Mr. Su… I took the liberty of informing Miss Han Xinqiao that you're here."
"She happens to be nearby, so she should be arriving soon."
"........"
Through Zhao Hu's explanation, Su Fan finally understood the whole story.
But this wasn't what he was most concerned about at the moment…
…..
"Tell me! Everything you know about the Su family."
"What exactly is the current situation of the Su family?"
Hearing Su Fan's question, Zhao Hu was momentarily confused.
The Su family?
Why bring up something so unrelated???
Besides, aren't you already close with Su Jia's son-in-law? Why ask me???
But regardless of his doubts, Zhao Hu dared not be careless when answering Su Fan's inquiry.
"The Su family? You mean the one that was at its peak five years ago, but has been declining ever since?"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Su Fan's blood pressure instantly spiked,
But he managed to stay calm and nodded.
"The Su family… has had quite a rough journey…."
Then, in Zhao Hu's brief recount,
Su Fan gradually learned about the Su family's situation in recent years.
"That kid standing next to you just now… I think his name is Lin Xuan!"
"He's the one Su Shengtian found to marry his granddaughter, who's in a vegetative state."
"If I remember correctly, the wedding should be happening very soon…"
