Chapter 273: I’ll Toast, It’s Up To You
Chapter 273: Chapter 273: I’ll Toast, It’s Up To You
“Chief Xu, this guy isn’t my classmate, he’s just a poor university student who comes from the countryside… he really likes to show off.” Deng Zihan explained hurriedly, worried that Chief Xu would be angry. “In that case, Chief Xu, I’ll drive him away now!”
“Hold on” Chief Xu glanced at Deng Zihan with meaningful eyes, “You want to drive him away?”
“Yes, Chief Xu, I’ve been irritated by this show-off for a long time. I’ll go straight to him now.” Deng Zihan rolled up his sleeves.
Chief Xu’s eye muscle twitched a few times.
Freaking hell…
Dude, do you know who he is?
Even Lin Jing, the captain of our city’s Public Security Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Brigade and the young lady of the Lin Family, one of the four major families in Binhai, always wears a warm smile when she sees him…
Do you know how capable he is?
He single-handedly beat up the entire First People’s Hospital, unmatched in his might, even Old Master Shi, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine expert in Binhai, knelt before him!
You, a mere deputy chief of a police station, dare to drive him away?
Also, Huang Xiaolong is Chief Xu’s benefactor!
If it wasn’t for Huang Xiaolong, Chief Xu wouldn’t have been able to access high-ranking official Lin Jing.
If it wasn’t for Huang Xiaolong, the unsolved case of dormitory 508 at the Binhai University branch campus wouldn’t have been solved.
In other words, if it wasn’t for Huang Xiaolong, Chief Xu would remain a deputy chief, most likely never promoted to full branch chief.
“Damn idiot!” Deng Zihan sneered, ready to rush over and drive Huang Xiaolong out.
In the room, the gleeful anticipation was evident in Yang Kai and the others’ eyes.
At this moment–
“Stop!” Chief Xu, with a face full of fury, shouted.
“Uh…” Deng Zihan halted abruptly, trembling as he turned to look at Chief Xu.
Chief Xu, however, didn’t even look at Deng Zihan, instead, he walked straight towards Huang Xiaolong, filling his cup with alcohol.
“Hey! Little Long Bro!” Chief Xu’s face completely changed. His face now showed warmth, admiration, and even some flattery. “Bro, I promised to treat you to a meal. I planned to invite you out in a few days, but I didn’t expect to meet you here tonight… what a coincidence! Hahaha! Little Long Bro, I must say, we sure have a destiny…”
Crack
Chief Xu’s words were like a heavy bomb exploding in the room!
Holy shit… Little Long Bro?
What’s going on?
Chu Tingting was dumbfounded;
Yang Kai was dumbfounded;
Deng Zihan was even more dumbfounded…
“W….what… what’s happening…” In this instant, Deng Zihan sobered up from fright, quivering with fear, sweating profusely…
“Come, Little Long Bro, do me a favor, let’s have a drink.” Chief Xu wore a pleasing smile, “You need to put in a good word for me at… you know where… Hahaha… No more talking, everything’s in the cup now, I’ll drink, you do as you please!”
After saying this, Chief Xu, who has already drunk a fair amount, knocked back the filled cup of wine.
“Oh… Brother Xu, why be so formal.” Huang Xiaolong grinned, also lifted his wine glass, but only took a sip.
He really meant it… When you finish, I do as I please!
“Ah? Old Xu, is this the Little Long Bro you mentioned?” Those that came into the room with Chief Xu were either key personnel in the new @cheng@ district’s public security system, or bureau-level officials, and even a deputy district chief.
“Yes, yes, this is Little Long Bro.” Chief Xu bragged, “Little Long Bro and I go way back!”
Immediately, everyone that came in with Chief Xu filled their glasses with wine, and flocked towards Huang Xiaolong passionately.
“Aiya, Little Long Bro, I’ve heard a lot about you from Old Xu although we’ve never met before. Old Xu really admires and worships you. Little Long Bro, I’m the deputy district chief of new @cheng@ district, you can call me Old Zou, let’s drink, I’ll finish, you do as you please.”
“Little Long Bro, I’m the political instructor of the district’s public security bureau, let’s get to know each other, I’ll drink, you do as you please.”
“Little Long Bro, I’m the manager of the tobacco company, I’m very honored to meet you, I’ll drink, you do as you please.”
These people were not stupid; they all learned about the intriguing relationship between Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing from Chief Xu.
Now that they had the chance to curry favor with Huang Xiaolong, only a fool wouldn’t come over to propose a toast!
Huang Xiaolong was surrounded!
Surrounded by a group of people who still held some social standing in Binhai!
The room fell into an eerie silence…
Many faces burned with humiliation, as if they had been slapped hard.
Especially those who looked down upon Huang Xiaolong, and scorned him as a poor college student, they wish they could find a crevice to crawl into.
“This… motherf*cker…” Yang Kai muttered under his breath.
At this point, the most conflicted were Chu Tingting and Deng Zihan.
Chu Tingting was completely surprised. She never imagined that Huang Xiaolong’s social connections could be this impressive.
Meanwhile, Deng Zihan’s heart beat with a chilling fear.
Just now, Huang Xiaolong said that he offered Deng Zihan face by agreeing to drink with him… and he wasn’t bragging or showing off.
Even someone as authoritative as Chief Xu drank with Huang Xiaolong in a respectful manner, ‘I’ll drink first, you can follow at your discretion’…
This gave a clue of just how profound Huang Xiaolong’s connections were!
Over there, Huang Xiaolong casually took a few drinks, everyone who toasted with him emptied their cups.
“Little Long, I won’t disturb you anymore.” Chief Xu patted Huang Xiaolong’s shoulder, “Let’s meet another day. I promise to provide you with excellent hospitality.”
“Sure, Brother Xu, we’ll touch base another day,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
Chief Xu tactfully took his leave from the private room with his people…
As he passed by Deng Zihan, Chief Xu paused, his face darken. “You, Deng Zihan, right? Be at my office before 9 am tomorrow.”
“Chief Xu!” Tears welled up in Deng Zihan’s eyes immediately. “Chief Xu…I…I…”
“You? Did a dog eat your eyes? You thought you could offend Little Long? Jumping around like a fool… Suicidal!” Chief Xu cast a disdainful glance at Deng Zihan, “Remember, be at my office before 9 am tomorrow!”
With that, Chief Xu left with his group.
It’s over…
Deng Zihan’s career path was completely ruined.
“Lit…Lit…Little Long!” Suddenly, Deng Zihan rushed over to Huang Xiaolong and, astonishingly, got down on his knees. “Little Long…I…I was wrong! I completely misread you! I looked down on you… I was wrong… Can you give me another chance? Please, give me another chance!”
Deng Zihan pleaded desperately, his voice choked with sobs.
Just now, Deng Zihan was exuding arrogance, speaking in an affected manner, but now, he was kneeling down, begging for mercy like a drowned rat.
This sort of arrogant then groveling attitude was truly disgusting.
“Tingting, I’m full.” Huang Xiaolong stood up, ignoring Deng Zihan. “Let’s go visit your good friend now. Don’t worry, Tingting, I will cure her.”
“Yes, yes!” Chu Tingting repeatedly agreed.
Most of the people in the room also expressed that they wanted to go visit Zhong Hui.
“Hey… can you really heal people? Then what’s wrong with me?” Yang Kai couldn’t help but shout at Huang Xiaolong.
“You’re not sick. However, you only have three days to live.” Huang Xiaolong grinned. “I told you before, if you kneel down, beg me to hit you, and give me enough money, I can help you heal.”
“You! Are you tricking me?” Yang Kai glared at him angrily. Although he knew Huang Xiaolong was well-connected, he himself was worth hundreds of millions and naturally wouldn’t fear Huang Xiaolong.
“I’m not tricking you. If you want to live, you have to beg me to hit you. I need to drive that thing out of you…” Huang Xiaolong laughed mysteriously, then glanced again at the starving ghost in Yang Kai’s belly. “Don’t worry, you will definitely come to beg me.”
With that, Huang Xiaolong, Chu Tingting, and a large group of classmates poured out of the room.
Yang Kai followed them out, his face dark.
