Chapter 997: Chapter 997 Someone Not to Be Provoked
A man who looked to be in his fifties slowly emerged from behind.
Upon seeing the newer, a triumphant smile curled at the corners of Fang Zhan’s mouth.
“Mr. Bai!” Mr. Yan nodded gently in greeting to the arrival.
“You still recognize me? I thought that I had been out of the picture for so long that everyone had forgotten this old man.”
“You jest, Mr. Bai!”
“Do I? But I just heard that you wouldn’t even show me respect,” Mr. Bai’s imposing demeanor made many present dare not even take a deep breath.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to show you respect, but I truly couldn’t guard against Li Ru!” Mr. Yan explained.
“What’s the matter? I heard it’s just about a young girl spraining her ankle, right? It’s hardly a matter of great consequence! We can take care of all the medical expenses, and even offer pensation to the other party!”
“Mr. Bai, the other party isn’t lacking money!”
“What? So you’re really prepared to be so unrelenting?” Mr. Bai’s face now showed anger.
With his status in the Jianghu, for someone to defy him was unthinkable. He had e personally, yet they still refused to release the person; it was practically a slap in his face!
“My apologies, Mr. Bai!”
“Good! Very good! It seems today we can only solve this with a show of force!” Mr. Bai stood with his hands behind his back.
“Mr. Bai, please don’t be hasty, may I have a word with you in private?”
Mr. Bai frowned slightly, but did not refuse. To not even receive his respect was indeed quite improper.
The two moved to an unoccupied corner, and Mr. Yan whispered something into Mr. Bai’s ear…
As Mr. Yan spoke, Mr. Bai’s brow deeply furrowed.
“Mr. Bai, do you understand now?”
“I understand! I will take my leave with my men right now!” Mr. Bai promised.
After the two returned, Mr. Bai spoke up, “Let’s go!”
“Mr. Bai, what is this…” Fang Zhan asked, still confused.
“I can’t handle this matter today, and it’s best you don’t either. Don’t lose your life over that woman!”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t ask any questions, just pull out!” Mr. Bai lowered his voice.
Once Mr. Bai had spoken, Fang Zhan naturally didn’t dare say more and led their people to withdraw.
Mr. Yan, watching their retreating figures, yawned heavily, “I really need to rest; not even a collapsing sky should disturb me now!”
“Mr. Bai, what exactly is going on?” On the way back, Fang Zhan couldn’t help but ask.
“Li Ru has really stirred up a hornet’s nest this time; no one can save her now!” Mr. Bai said, shaking his head.
“I don’t follow what you mean!”
“Let me ask you, do you know who are some of the most untouchable people?”
“Malicious Spirit, the dragon whose head is seen but not the tail, can take lives without anyone being the wiser. Malicious Spirit, known for heartless and ruthless killing, never leaves survivors. Gui Li, unpredictable, with a vast barrier of Xuan at his disposal and personal strength that is unfathomably deep!
Mr. Bai, why are you suddenly asking me this?
Could it be…”
“Correct! The reason Little Yan is so fearless is that the person behind him is Gui Li!” As Mr. Bai uttered these words, Fang Zhan felt a sudden rush of relief as if escaping from the jaws of death.
“The woman you’re involved with, of all the people she could’ve offended, had to offend Gui Li’s woman. She’s truly seeking death!”
“Mr. Bai, I understand! I’ll never mention Li Ru again!”
“Yes! Make sure to draw a clear line! To avoid bringing disaster upon the uninvolved!”
This damned woman, she almost dragged me down with her! Fang Zhan thought bitterly to himself…
