Chapter 308: Chapter 308: The Instigator_1
Just as the minute was about to end, Third Master’s cell phone finally connected to the call.
“Zhao… Brother Zhao, it’s Hu San…” Hu San said in a trembling voice over the phone.
This was the first time Hu San had called the current boss, Zhao Dong, since the Hu Family changed its helm, so he was feeling somewhat apprehensive.
“Third Master? What’s the matter?” Zhao Dong’s voice came through the phone, steady as ever.
Although he was only temporarily the Family Head of the Hu Family, he hadn’t fully consolidated power yet, so he was still courteous towards Hu Family middlemen like Hu San.
“Brother Zhao, I just encountered someone who beat up our people from the Hu Family, and even broke an arm…”
“What? Someone dared to bully the Hu Family? Who is he?” Zhao Dong’s tone rose higher, and though he was the new boss, he knew the importance of winning people’s hearts, so he took great interest in the injury of a Hu Family member.
Hu San, upon hearing Zhao Dong’s concern, thought there might be a chance for things to turn around and hurriedly said to Zhao Dong, “This person’s name is Xu Fan, he said he knows you!”
“Damn, Xu Fan… Big Brother!” Zhao Dong gasped over the phone.
“What? Big Brother?” Hu San was also shocked.
Zhao Dong was now the Family Head of the Hu Family, yet this Xu Fan was still considered his elder brother.
No way!
A bad premonition began to form in Hu San’s mind.
“Hu San, no matter who from the Hu Family it is, if they dare to trouble Mr. Xu… there’s only a dead end for them. Who annoyed Mr. Xu just now? Let him roll back here this instant, ready for the family law,” Zhao Dong’s cold voice came through the phone.
Damn!
Hu San glanced at the Seventh Brother who was hugging his arm and howling in pain below, a flicker of pity crossed his mind, but soon it solidified into a look of determination.
“You two, drag him to headquarters, the boss wants to see him.” Hu San pointed at the one on the ground.
The other two hoodlums felt a bit reluctant, but they had no choice but to obey orders.
This Seventh Brother was usually very impulsive and aggressive, and he often caused trouble. They never imagined that this time he would mess with someone even the newly appointed boss had to respect. He was definitely in for a severe punishment when he got back.
But they were powerless to intervene and didn’t dare to.
With a new leader comes three fires, and Zhao Dong, the new chief of the Hu Family, might seem young and always smiling, but he dealt with matters swiftly and decisively. Stone Brother, a middle-ranking member, was jumping around just the other day, and now he was destined to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
It was said that there was a bald bodyguard with exceptional skills by his side, and even the best fighters of the Hu Family couldn’t stop his single finger. With such a powerful boss, they truly had no confidence in defying him.
“Brother Zhao, I have done as requested and sent back the person who offended Mr. Xu, waiting for you to decide what to do,” Hu San said into the phone, terrified.
Now that Zhao Dong had just taken over the Hu Family, Hu San had made a big mistake. If Zhao Dong used this as a chance to deal with him, there was no escape. And so, Hu San’s mood was extremely gloomy as he glared at Li Niu in front of him.
It was all because of this idiot that he had angered someone he shouldn’t have. If Hu San had another chance to choose, he would never want to get involved with Li Niu’s mess.
“Now, as long as you win Mr. Xu’s satisfaction, you’ll be fine. If he’s not satisfied, then you and the person who offended Mr. Xu will come to the Hu Family to face the family law,” Zhao Dong said coldly and then hung up the phone.
Listenting to the beeping sounds from the phone, Hu San’s thoughts spun quickly, and then he made up his mind and knelt down with a slap.
“Big Brother, I really didn’t know you were one of us. It’s all my fault for believing this Li Niu’s one-sided story. I deserve to die! I deserve to die!” Hu San knelt on the ground and began to slap his own face, his expression one of sincere contrition.
Hu San did this because the Hu Family’s laws were too harsh. If the new boss, Zhao Dong, wanted to deal with him, he could end up like Stone Brother, confined to a wheelchair for life.
Of course, if he thought of resisting, the problem would be even more serious. But when Hu San remembered how Seventh Brother’s arm was broken in the blink of an eye by Xu Fan, he knew that resistance would be futile.
Now, the only thing he could do was lower his stance and beg the boss for forgiveness.
The Xu Fan in front of him was accompanied by a girl who looked as adorable as an angel. Hu San blindly guessed, given such a cute girl was with him, Xu Fan probably wasn’t a heartless person. On the contrary, he might be a very caring man, and as long as Hu San could win his forgiveness, Zhao Dong would likely excuse him from the family law.
Xu Fan glanced at Hu San kneeling before him and said with a mocking smile, “Hu San, why the rush to kneel? The instigator of this issue hasn’t even given an explanation yet.”
“Right, right, right, it’s all because of this bastard!” Hu San, kneeling on the ground, suddenly remembered Li Niu standing by upon hearing Xu Fan’s words.
Today’s incident was originally caused by Li Niu, and the fear of Zhao Dong’s family law had startled Hu San so much that he had forgotten the source of it all was, in fact, Li Niu.
“Damn it, you senseless thing, why aren’t you kneeling down!” Hu San grabbed Li Niu by the collar and dragged him down to the ground.
Li Niu was also a bit stunned by the rapid turn of events. With his intelligence, he hadn’t caught up with the fact that Third Master, who was so dominant just a moment ago, so proud and unchallenged, could end up kneeling like a dog after just one phone call.
And now Li Niu, after being yanked to the ground by Hu San, realized that from the beginning, he had misunderstood Xu Fan.
Xu Fan remained with the same calm demeanor, but as Li Niu looked up at him, he suddenly sensed an overwhelming authority in Xu Fan’s seemingly gentle expression.
Li Niu only glanced once at Xu Fan, and felt as if Xu Fan’s gaze was like two sharp swords lunging at him, almost paralyzing him with fear.
“Big Brother, I was wrong, I was so muddled, please spare me. I shouldn’t have vied with you for the championship, I shouldn’t have gotten people to beat you up…” Li Niu hastily begged Xu Fan for mercy.
“I’ve already spared you once, and yet you dare to act up again. I’m out of patience with you,” Xu Fan slowly revealed a cold smile to Li Niu.
