Chapter 176 Mr. Su
Pan An was directly slapped unconscious by Long Xiaoshan, preparing to say something, but constrained by Long Xiaoshan's might, he just puckered his lips and didn't utter a word.
After hitting Pan An, Long Xiaoshan didn't bother with that prodigal son anymore and turned his attention to the jester:
"Sir, on behalf of both father and son, I offer you an apology, and I hope you can show magnanimity!"
In fact, Long Xiaoshan and Pan Wendao did not share a deep bond, but only because they had just collaborated on a very large project.
If something truly happened to Pan Wendao, the loss to him would be substantial, which is why he personally plead for mercy on Pan Wendao's behalf.
Everyone gasped in shock; they had never expected Long Xiaoshan, the underground boss of Jianghai, to actually show weakness before this handsome man.
"Why should I?"
The jester glanced sideways at Long Xiaoshan and spoke.
Hearing this, Long Xiaoshan couldn't help feeling somewhat angry; he had already lowered his stance so much, yet this fellow was still unrelenting—and he was a local bigshot, after all!
Just then, a faint voice came through:
"Jester, that will do, let's leave it at that!"
It must be said that the current Su Chen had changed a lot compared to before; he now preferred a peaceful life.
Generally, as long as others didn't cross his bottom line, he wouldn't push things to the extreme.
So even if the young masters from the Wu Family and Liu Family had conflicts with him, he didn't think about doing anything drastic to them, at most just a lesson.
Of course, if these people went too far, he wouldn't mind wiping out their centuries of heritage once and for all!
The jester seemed taken aback upon hearing Su Chen's words, sensing that Su Chen had changed.
The previous Su Chen would never speak like this; after all, people like Pan Wendao were mere ants, easily squashed.
Although confused, he followed Su Chen's order without fail and released Pan Wendao on the spot.
Pan Wendao was gearing up to explode, but saw Long Xiaoshan beside him suddenly tremble, his face changing color in an instant.
Before he could ask, he saw Long Xiaoshan shudder as he stepped forward, walking step by step until he reached a young man. Experience tales at empire
"Mr. Su!"
Long Xiaoshan bowed before the young man, his body making a perfect 90-degree angle, his tone humble!
Witnessing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded, their minds seemingly blown away.
What's going on?
The mighty boss Long Xiaoshan was actually bending his back to a young man!
And with such devotion, such humility!
Was this real?
The crowd felt as if they were in a dream, unable to believe their eyes!
Even Long Xiaoshan's plea to that handsome man hadn't shaken the crowd as profoundly as this moment!
"Long Ye, you..."
Pan Wendao was even more incredulous than others; he knew just how arrogant Long Xiaoshan was, barely concealing his disdain for the Four Great Families.
It was such an exceedingly proud man who was now adopting such a posture before a young man, utterly shocking and bewildering Pan Wendao!
"So it's you, Boss Long. Long time no see."
Su Chen glanced at him faintly, casually remarking with a slight smile still lingering on his lips.
"In front of Mr. Su, I dare not call myself Boss Long. Mr. Su can just call me Xiaoshan."
Long Xiaoshan's head bowed even lower, his tone became even more humbly respectful.
Lin Ruoxue stood beside, watching Su Chen with a look of utter infatuation; she certainly knew who Long Xiaoshan standing before them was, but it was precisely because she knew that she found it even more unbelievable!
"Boss, is this a new dog you've taken under your wing?"
At this moment, the clown walked up and asked casually.
"No," Su Chen shook his head.
"I thought as much, how could such a weakling be fit to be your dog, boss!"
The clown nodded as if this made sense to him.
Meanwhile, the rest of the crowd had completely lost it; could it be that the great boss Long Xiaoshan wasn't even qualified to be someone's dog?
Seeing that Long Xiaoshan didn't dare to retort after such humiliating words were spoken, everyone felt even more baffled.
It wasn't that Long Xiaoshan didn't want to, but rather that he didn't dare!
What a joke, whether it was the other's heaven-defying strength or his powerful background, neither was something he could compare with.
People like Long Xiaoshan may seem more hot-blooded than anyone else, but in reality, no one understands better than him the principle of knowing when to advance or retreat!
In their line of work, if one doesn't know when to advance or retreat, one might even die without understanding why.
"You can stand up now," Su Chen said casually, "Your son has already helped me out last time; our score is already settled."
What Su Chen was referring to was the time when Long Xiaobin had helped him by finding some plump women to entertain Ma Yuemin.
"I heard about that from my boy; it was merely a trivial favor," Long Xiaoshan said with a slight smile, slowly straightening his body, feeling his back drenched in sweat.
"Alright, you can all leave now, let's just consider today's incident a misunderstanding," Su Chen said.
"Then thank you, Mr. Su, for your magnanimity. I believe Mr. Pan will surely make a special visit to apologize later!"
Long Xiaoshan let out a sigh of relief and said:Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Then we will take our leave and not disturb Mr. Su any further."
With that, Long Xiaoshan took his leave.
Pan Wendo knew that Long Xiaoshan wouldn't do such a thing without reason, so without saying a word, he also followed suit.
At this moment, the gazes of everyone in the restaurant toward Su Chen were filled with strangeness; they had originally thought that the beautiful man was impressive enough.
Yet, they hadn't anticipated that the most impressive was actually the quiet young man, who had barely spoken or been very noticeable at all!
Shortly after Long Xiaoshan and the others had left, Su Chen and his two companions also made their way out.
"Do you have anything you want to say to me?"
Just as they stepped out of the restaurant's main entrance, Lin Ruoxue stared at Su Chen with intense curiosity.
"The time hasn't come yet, when it does, I will tell you everything, all of it!" Su Chen said, meeting Lin Ruoxue's gaze with sincerity.
He had long since realized that Lin Ruoxue had begun to suspect his true identity; after all, as husband and wife, she could always sense when something was off.
However, Su Chen also knew that his true identity couldn't be kept secret for much longer, but he hoped that day would come later rather than sooner.
After all, knowing the truth was bound to cause Ruoxue to worry, for his world was not one that ordinary people could understand.
He hoped that by the time Lin Ruoxue discovered the truth, he would have amassed enough strength to protect both himself and her, as well as everyone else he cared for!
In that moment, Su Chen genuinely felt his heart soften.
Lin Ruoxue looked at his sharply contoured face, then nodded:
"I'll be waiting for that day to come!"
What do you think?
