Chapter 185 Supporting the Bai Family
The young master of the Bai family stared at Xiao Chen for a full half minute, but he couldn't see anything about Xiao Chen that made him seem like an important person.
"Is it really because of him that our disco is going to be shut down?" Young Master Bai asked in surprise.
“Yes, young master,” the manager replied. “It was the head of the security bureau who called personally, furious, and said he wanted to shut down the disco.”
"What is his identity?"
"I don't know either. When the chief arrived, he was very respectful to him and said that this was someone our Bai family couldn't afford to offend."
The young master of the Bai family's face darkened.
He didn't know when this person appeared in Jiang City, that he could actually alarm the higher-ups and order the disco to be shut down without any consideration for others.
"This is all your doing, you've brought this disaster upon yourselves!" the young master of the Bai family said angrily, glaring fiercely at the manager.
Knowing he was in the wrong, the manager dared not meet his gaze.
"This is an important asset of the Bai family, and it absolutely cannot be lost like this..." the young master of the Bai family said through gritted teeth.
His eyes flickered as he glanced at the glamorous young men behind him, a sinister smile creeping across his face.
"Someone that my Bai family can't afford to offend? That Director of the Security Bureau does carry a lot of weight in Jiang City, but what about outside of Jiang City? What is he anyway?"
Young Master Bai gave those young masters a meaningful look.
The Bai family had already pledged allegiance to Xiao Yichen.
Today, he was originally following his family's instructions to gather the young masters of various families in Jiang City to discuss matters and persuade the Heavenly King Palace to recruit more family forces.
But then a group of young masters from top families in the provincial capital suddenly visited Jiang City, supposedly to pay their respects to a big shot. He immediately assumed they were there to submit to the Heavenly King's Palace and quickly made connections to invite them here.
If he can win over all of them to the Heavenly King's command, it will be a great achievement for him!
"Young Master, you mean..." The manager seemed to understand something.
The young master of the Bai family sneered and put on a self-reproachful and guilty expression.
"Gentlemen from the provincial capital, you have come all this way, and I had intended to give you a warm welcome and hope you would have a wonderful time..." the young master of the Bai family said, feigning sincerity. "Unfortunately, things have not gone as planned. I have encountered some problems here, and I am afraid I will have to neglect you all. I am truly sorry..."
Sure enough, most of the young masters from the provincial capital frowned and showed displeasure.
"Tell me, what problem have you encountered? Is it because of this drunkard?" a young master said indifferently.
This is exactly what the young master of the Bai family was waiting for.
"Sigh, this guy is no ordinary person..." He shook his head, a helpless expression on his face. "This man has powerful connections. He caused trouble at my family's disco, and not only could we not do anything about it, we also angered him. With just one word from him, my family's disco is about to be shut down by the authorities..."
"It's all those small fry's fault for being blind and messing with a big shot they shouldn't have."
After the young master of the Bai family said that, all the young masters looked at Xiao Chen with scrutinizing eyes.
They came from prominent families in the provincial capital and held high positions. In a place like Jiang City, they were naturally arrogant and wouldn't take so-called important figures seriously.
Therefore, their gazes toward Xiao Chen, after scrutinizing him, revealed a hint of disdain.
"This kind of person can shut down your disco with just one sentence?" someone asked in a deep voice.
"What is his identity? What powerful background does he have? Tell us so we can see what kind of 'big shot' you are in Jiang City."
Seeing the disdainful expressions of the young masters, this was exactly what the young master of the Bai family wanted.
“Sigh, although our Bai family is known as one of the four major families in Jiang City, there are still many people we can’t afford to offend…” the young master of the Bai family said. “Like this person, who was previously unknown, directly alarmed the higher-ups in Jiang City. One phone call from the head of the Public Security Bureau and we’re done for. This place will be sealed off tomorrow. We have no choice but to accept it…”
"There's nothing I can do about it, I'm sorry to disappoint you all. I didn't want to, but there's nothing I can do..."
The young master of the Bai family spoke in a pitiful manner, which made the young men from the provincial capital even more uncomfortable.
What are these big shots from Jiang City compared to them?
"And who is that Director of the Security Bureau?" someone else asked.
"They're probably among the most influential people in Jiang City. Anyway, the Bai family can't afford to offend them."
The young men from the provincial capital thought about it for a moment, then decided that he wasn't anyone special and didn't take him seriously.
"The place isn't very big, but the people there are quite arrogant." A young master looked at Xiao Chen and sneered.
"Hey Bai, your Bai family is pretty cowardly. You call yourselves the four major families of Jiang City, but this thing has you completely suppressed."
"Yes, yes, I also feel aggrieved, but I'm powerless to do anything about it. How can our little Bai family compare to the big families in the provincial capital? We're just too far behind." While saying this, the young master of the Bai family was secretly laughing.
"What you said makes a lot of sense." The young men from the provincial capital were quite pleased.
"You don't need to be afraid. We're here today to back you up. What kind of powerful background this kid has, what kind of director of the Jiang City Security Bureau? They're all just small fry."
"No matter how great they are, can they possibly be better than us?" the young masters said arrogantly.
"Even if we're not important enough, the Dongfang family is the number one family in the province, and Young Master Dongfang is still here. If we're not even as important as Young Master Dongfang, what are we even doing here!"
"Now that you say that, I feel relieved and can finally stand up for myself," the young master of the Bai family laughed.
"Beat this drunkard up and throw him out. We'll protect him if anything happens," one of them shouted.
"Of course!" The young master of the Bai family turned around, his eyes no longer showing any fear, but filled with sinister intent.
Xu Lingling, standing next to Xiao Chen, was utterly shocked.
She never expected that the group of people opposite her were actually young masters from prominent families in the provincial capital, and that the young master of the number one family in the province was among them.
To Jiang City, this group of people are like princes who are high and mighty.
She panicked. Although Xiao Chen was remarkable, how could he compare to those people?
"Manager, didn't you hear the young masters' orders?" the young master of the Bai family shouted at the manager.
The manager was still somewhat hesitant.
"What a coward!" the young master of the Bai family roared. "No matter how powerful that guy is, he can only run rampant in Jiang City. Does he think he's more noble than the young masters of the big families in the provincial capital? Get to work right now!"
"Yes...yes, young master." The manager gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.
"All of you, get him! Throw this guy out!" he shouted.
A dozen or so people reacted at the sound and rushed towards Xiao Chen.
"What are you trying to do? We can walk by ourselves!" Xu Lingling shouted in a panic.
"Xiao Chen, let's go quickly, you can't afford to offend these people..." She tried to pull Xiao Chen away so that he could leave as soon as possible.
But she couldn't pull Xiao Chen away.
"I won't leave until I've had enough to drink," Xiao Chen said with a cold laugh.
Xu Lingling was extremely anxious. Didn't she see what the situation was like?
Which of those spoiled rich kids on the other side could he afford to offend?
Blind arrogance will lead to great suffering!
"Hurry up and go! Are you stupid?" She pulled with all her might, but she just couldn't budge her.
"Go!" The bar staff didn't hesitate, and more than a dozen people rushed towards the two men aggressively.
Seeing the fists and kicks coming at her, Xu Lingling was so frightened that she covered her head and squatted down.
