Chapter 148: Chapter 147, you little twerp, weren’t you very arrogant before?

Mining operations, whether in private or state-owned mines, feared nothing more than an unexpected underground accident because such incidents could be fatal!

Without hesitation, Gou Shengli quickly asked, "Are there any workers trapped underground? Hurry, hurry, hurry, contact the mine rescue team. If our rescue capabilities are insufficient, report to the province. We must spare no effort to rescue those trapped."

Gou Shengli was thoroughly panicked. Currently, the state was cracking down harshly on illegal mining. Although he had a coal mining permit, which allowed him to exploit coal legally.

But if something really happened, the first thing to be revoked would be the coal mining permit. This involved tens of billions in investment!

"Chairman, don’t worry. No one was working in the B2 Mining Area today," said the manager, still trembling with fear. "To be honest, it’s all thanks to you! If you hadn’t changed the plan at the last minute, we would all have perished in the B2 Mining Area!"

Upon hearing this, cold sweat instantly appeared on Gou Shengli’s back, and his face showed an expression of horror. Was this really thanks to him?

No!

It was Xu Wendong who saved the lives of dozens of people, Xu Wendong who saved the Gou Family!

If Xu Wendong hadn’t warned him not to go to dark places today, he would have certainly perished in the B2 Mining Area...

For a moment.

In his heart, Xu Wendong became like a god, a presence that could foresee the future and see through life and death.

"No, no, no, I must bring a generous gift to thank Mister Xu for his life-saving grace."

------

In the clinic.

Xu Wendong’s work wasn’t tiring, but staying connected with Ding Yao for a long time was somewhat exhausting. Not because he was physically weak, but because he had been with his sister-in-law in the morning, and the prolonged back and forth took its toll on him.

Seeing it was time for a meal, Xu Wendong took Ding Yao across the street to Pizza Hut. He didn’t like Western food, but Ding Yao wanted it.

They found a spot by the window and sat down. From here they could clearly see if anyone entered the clinic, and it was also relatively quiet, without disturbance.

Just as they finished ordering, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man wearing a branded watch, with a pale and beautiful long-legged student girl on his arm, approached. He spoke in a haughty tone, "I’ve taken a liking to this spot. You two, pick another place!"

"As compensation for you, this meal is on me. I advise you not to be ungrateful."

He wore a proud expression and didn’t even look Xu Wendong and Ding Yao in the eye during the whole encounter, which made both feel a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

Ding Yao added, "Isn’t everything done on a first come, first served basis? Do you think having money makes you great? Sorry, but we definitely aren’t moving today."

A flash of coldness crossed the young man’s eyes, and he said in a cold voice, "Refusing a face-saving proposition, aren’t you? Do you know who I am, dare you speak to me like this..."

"Smack!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Wendong backhanded a slap on the young man’s face. The crisp slap drew a lot of attention.

No one had expected Xu Wendong to make a move.

The young man became furious, holding his burning face, "Damn it, how dare you hit me? I’ve never been hit in my whole life. You’re dead, you’re going to die miserably. If I don’t make you kneel and call me ancestor, I’ll take your last name."

Boom!

Xu Wendong gave a direct kick, sending the young man flying several meters. He hated these rich kids who bullied others under their parent’s influence more than anything, and a slap was a lesson.

But after receiving threats, another lesson was warranted, wasn’t it?

"You ungrateful bastard, you’ll regret this. I promise you’ll pay a heavy price!" The young man fled in panic. After leaving Pizza Hut, he dialed a number, saying in a deep voice, "Brother Long, I ran into some trouble. Bring some brothers over to help me vent!"

Yes, he made this call to Zhao Dalong of the Black Dragon Hall.

Hearing the call, Zhao Dalong was taken aback, "Who has such guts to dare to mess with you?"

The young man ranted, "I don’t know where this nobody came from. He’s arrogant and slapped me right in the face, and even kicked me. If I don’t teach him a lesson today, I’m not a Gou!"

"Alright, we’re coming over." Zhao Dalong didn’t refuse, since the Gou Family was one of Qingyuan’s Four Great Wealthy Families. Maintaining good relations with them would bring many benefits.

And so, Zhao Dalong brought over ten younger brothers, arriving at Pizza Hut in two business vehicles and meeting Gou Yangqing, whose right cheek was still red and swollen.

"Whew, that’s quite a slap!" Zhao Dalong’s heart jolted, and he continued, "Young Master Gou, didn’t you introduce yourself before?"

Gou Yangqing’s eyes were filled with rage, "That guy didn’t even give me a chance to introduce myself! But that doesn’t matter anymore. Brother Long, leave that guy to you, and of course, the brothers will be well rewarded if you handle him."

"No problem."

"Let’s go, follow me inside." Gou Yangqing grinned wickedly, leading Zhao Dalong and the others storming into Pizza Hut, where they saw Xu Wendong and Ding Yao.

"You good-for-nothing, weren’t you really arrogant earlier? Come on, be arrogant again, let’s see if I don’t break your dog legs today." Gou Yangqing laughed unscrupulously.

Before his laughter ceased, however, he was shocked to see Zhao Dalong bowing respectfully, "Good afternoon, Mister Xu."

???

Gou Yangqing’s smile froze instantly.

Did they know each other?

Even if they did, was there a need for bowing and addressing him as Mister?

This nobody wasn’t even old enough to deserve such deference from Zhao Dalong, was he?

Xu Wendong continued eating his lunch, casually saying, "Oh? Was it this guy who asked you to cause trouble for me?"

Zhao Dalong responded nervously, "We didn’t know he intended to cause trouble for you."

Xu Wendong, a figure in their hearts more esteemed than even Zhao Sihai, had inadvertently put them in an awkward position, and they felt uneasy about it.

Xu Wendong calmly said, "So, now you know what to do, right?"

Zhao Dalong replied, "Yes, we do."

"Alright, take him away!" Xu Wendong waved dismissively.

With that, Gou Yangqing was carried out by Zhao Dalong and others and loaded into a business vehicle.

At that moment.

Gou Yangqing panicked, "Brother Long, who on earth was that guy? And where are you taking me?"

Zhao Dalong sighed, "Young Master Gou, we can’t disclose Mister Xu’s background. However, we can give you a choice."

Gou Yangqing instinctively swallowed, "What choice?"

Zhao Dalong smiled wickedly, "Do you want to go to the ICU or the orthopedic hospital? Pick one, and we’ll take you there now."

Gou Yangqing was terrified, "Can’t I not choose?"

Zhao Dalong raised an eyebrow, playfully saying, "Or should I choose for you?"
