Xiao Yunlong had originally planned to eliminate Jin San directly. As the renowned Zhenbei King of Dragon Country, he would not be threatened by the other party. However, upon hearing that the boss of Jiaxing Entertainment was Master Fo, he immediately changed his mind.
Since Jin San was Master Fo's subordinate, he would let the fat Master Fo handle it himself, saving him the trouble of dirtying his own hands.
Furthermore, he considered Liu Ruyan. Emotionally, she still wanted to act in "Su Cheng Yan Yun," as it was a cherished aspiration of hers.
Xiao Yunlong had been contemplating a foolproof method to help Liu Ruyan secure the role of the female lead. Since the fat Master Fo was the boss of Jiaxing Entertainment, this matter became much easier to handle.
With this thought, Xiao Yunlong pulled over another chair and sat down, with Liu Ruyan leaning beside him.
Jin San shot a cold glance at Xiao Yunlong and snorted, "So what if you know Master Fo? I have a close relationship with Master Fo. When he arrives later, we'll see how he deals with you!"
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. More and more onlookers gathered around, but no one dared to approach, merely watching from a distance.
Jin San also pulled over a chair and sat down. His subordinates continued to surround Xiao Yunlong and Liu Ruyan, the atmosphere still tense and volatile.
Xiao Yunlong remained calm and composed. He suddenly turned to the barbecue stall owner and shouted, "Get some more barbecue over here, lightly spiced, and make it quick!"
The barbecue stall owner naturally dared not disobey and reluctantly complied. He worked quickly, and soon a full plate of barbecue was served.
Without further ado, Xiao Yunlong picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
"Come, Ruyan, you eat too. You're too thin; you need to eat more normally," Xiao Yunlong said, picking up a chicken wing and offering it to her.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao!" Liu Ruyan accepted with a smile.
Liu Ruyan knew about the incident between Xiao Yunlong and Master Fo that night, so she was no longer worried about Master Fo's arrival. Instead, she felt a sense of anticipation.
"Boss Jin, this young man named Xiao is eating as if no one else is here. He's too arrogant, clearly not putting you or our boss, Master Fo, in his eyes!" a confidant whispered to Jin San.
Jin San grinned and snorted, "Let him be arrogant and show off for a little longer. If nothing unexpected happens, this meal tonight is likely his last. Before he departs, shouldn't we let him eat his fill, right?"
"Yes, yes, Boss Jin, you're absolutely right. When the boss arrives later, we'll see how this kid dies!" the confidant nodded repeatedly.
Not long after, as Xiao Yunlong finished ten skewers and half a bottle of beer, two cars sped towards them.
These were Master Fo's vehicles: a stretched, limited-edition black Rolls-Royce, and the other was the car of his two chief bodyguards.
"Boss Jin, the boss is here!" the confidant suddenly said.
In fact, he didn't need to remind him. The moment Jin San saw the cars, he immediately shot up and scurried over with his short legs.
Master Fo, who bore a striking resemblance to the Maitreya Buddha, pushed open the car door himself before the driver could.
"Master Fo, you've finally arrived!" Jin San said with a beaming smile, a hint of flattery in his tone.
"Where is Mr. Xiao? Where is he?" Master Fo immediately asked.
"Mr. Xiao? Which Mr. Xiao?" Jin San was stunned and a bad premonition suddenly struck him.
Master Fo glanced inside and saw Xiao Yunlong. Without a word, he walked over.
"Master Fo... what is going on? Do you know this young man named Xiao?" Jin San quickly shouted.
However, Master Fo ignored him and went straight to Xiao Yunlong. He then bowed respectfully, clasping his hands, and said, "Greetings, Mr. Xiao. I heard you wished to see me. May I ask what this is about?"
Jin San, who had also intended to run over, froze as if electrocuted upon witnessing this scene. A look of profound shock filled his pupils.
"This... how is this possible? Master Fo is so respectful to this kid... What on earth is going on?"
Jin San's head buzzed, and the world spun around him. He almost couldn't stand steady.
The onlookers who had gathered to watch the spectacle were also dumbfounded. Many of them had heard of Master Fo's reputation. They had all assumed that once Master Fo arrived, the young man with the buzz cut would be in trouble, as Master Fo was the overlord of Su City's underworld.
However, they never imagined that Master Fo would bow and greet the young man with the buzz cut so respectfully upon his arrival. It was too unbelievable. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
"Who exactly is this young man with the buzz cut?" This thought arose in the minds of many onlookers.
Xiao Yunlong remained seated, holding a skewer in one hand and a beer bottle in the other. Without looking at Master Fo, he said indifferently, "I was the one who wanted to see you. Something happened between me and Jin San. I heard you are the boss of Jiaxing Entertainment, so I called you over!"
"So that's how it is. Mr. Xiao, are you alright?" Master Fo asked, bowing.
Xiao Yunlong chuckled, "Do you think, with these guys, I would be alright? Do they have the ability to do that?"
Master Fo quickly responded with a smile, "Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao is exceptionally skilled. With Jin San and his men, they probably couldn't even touch your hair!"
With that, Master Fo turned and shouted at Jin San, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get over here!"
Jin San trembled with fear. Although he didn't know who this Mr. Xiao was, he wasn't stupid. He could clearly see that the other party's background and status were extraordinary, otherwise, Master Fo wouldn't be so polite, even so respectful.
With this thought, Jin San mustered his courage and walked over.
With a thud, Boss Jin knelt directly before Xiao Yunlong and said, "I was wrong, Mr. Xiao. I didn't know you had such a close relationship with Master Fo. I was blind and offended you. I beg your magnanimity to forgive me this time."
Xiao Yunlong did not speak, nor did he look at him. He casually picked up a skewer of grilled cartilage and began to eat.
Seeing this, Master Fo slapped Jin San, sending him flying to the ground. Several of his front teeth were knocked out, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. It was clear the beating was real.
"You dog, how dare you offend Mr. Xiao! You're blind!" Master Fo roared.
The surrounding onlookers were so shocked their jaws nearly hit the ground.
"Holy crap, this is so exciting! That's Jin San, the third boss of Jiaxing Entertainment. I've seen him on TV quite often. I never thought this guy would be beaten like a dog today. This is too damn exciting!"
"That fat bastard Jin San, it's said he's harmed many innocent young girls before, even forcing one to jump off a building. Now seeing him beaten like a dog is his just deserts, it's so satisfying!" the surrounding onlookers discussed.
Seeing that Xiao Yunlong still hadn't responded, Master Fo cursed, "You scoundrel Jin San, it's one thing for you to act recklessly normally, but today you dare to lay hands on Mr. Xiao. Are you pretending to be dead on the ground? Hurry up and kowtow to Mr. Xiao nine times to apologize!"
However, Jin San suddenly got up and roared through gritted teeth, "Master Fo, I've followed you for so many years. As the overlord of Su City's underworld, aren't you afraid of this..."
But before he could finish, Master Fo kicked him to the ground.
"You dog, how dare you speak so recklessly at this time? Do you really want to die?" Master Fo roared.
He was truly furious. Although he was the overlord of the underworld, who was Xiao Yunlong? He was a Martial King above a Grandmaster of Hua Jin. If he offended such a powerful expert, what good would having many subordinates do? He could take your life with a flip of his hand!
At this moment, Xiao Yunlong finally finished his barbecue and drank the last bottle of beer. He clapped his hands and said, "Fatty Fo, I don't have time to watch you scold your subordinate. I won't say any more unnecessary words. Listen carefully, I'll only say one thing!"
"Mr. Xiao, please speak. I am listening!" Master Fo nodded repeatedly, feeling immense pressure.
He could tell that Mr. Xiao was truly angry. Although Mr. Xiao appeared calm on the surface, beneath that calmness seethed a fiery rage, and even killing intent.
Master Fo had spent most of his life in the underworld and was naturally good at judging people. This time, Mr. Xiao was likely going to kill someone.
Xiao Yunlong said, "I still owe Jiaxing Entertainment two million. That's one million per life. These two guys should be worth that price!"
After speaking, Xiao Yunlong pointed at Jin San and the scarred strongman standing not far away.
Jin San's face instantly turned pale. The scarred strongman, seeing the situation was bad, turned and ran.
Xiao Yunlong's gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his wrist, a bamboo skewer shot out.
With a "whoosh," the bamboo skewer flew like an arrow, piercing the scarred strongman's right calf and causing blood to gush out.
The scarred strongman let out a pained cry and fell to the ground. The entire scene erupted in an uproar.
Master Fo felt immense pressure, and sweat beaded on his forehead. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively said, "Mr. Xiao, Jin San has been with me for a long time. Can you..."
But before he could finish, Xiao Yunlong interrupted him sternly, "Yes, if you don't want him to die, then use your life to compensate him. I'll give you one night!"
After speaking, Xiao Yunlong stood up, took Liu Ruyan's hand, and walked away.
Master Fo thought for a moment and then beckoned his assistant over, saying in a low voice, "Quickly tell me, what exactly happened between Jin San and Mr. Xiao?"
The assistant then briefly explained the entire matter.
After listening, Master Fo glared at Jin San and cursed, "You dog! How dare you lay hands on Mr. Xiao's woman! I can't save you this time. Hurry up and make arrangements for your funeral!"
With that, Master Fo hurriedly strode after Xiao Yunlong.
Jin San's face turned ashen, and he collapsed onto the ground like a puddle of mud.
"Mr. Xiao, please wait, Mr. Xiao!" Master Fo chased after him anxiously.
"Is there something else?" Xiao Yunlong stopped at the car.
"Mr. Xiao, I have investigated the matter. It is indeed Jin San who deserves to die. I guarantee you that he will not see the sun tomorrow alive."
Master Fo said, catching his breath, and then quickly added, "Also, regarding Miss Liu, she will still be the female lead in 'Su Cheng Yan Yun.' I will notify the crew shortly, and filming can begin tomorrow. Her treatment and standards will be in accordance with the company's highest artist level. Furthermore, Miss Liu will have priority in choosing all future film and television resources. What do you think, Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Yunlong did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Liu Ruyan, who nodded slightly.
Only then did he say, "If that's the case, have the crew drive to the Liu family to pick her up tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I guarantee the crew will be at the Liu family's doorstep on time!"
Master Fo said repeatedly, finally feeling relieved. Mr. Xiao's agreement meant he no longer intended to pursue the matter. Moreover, with Miss Liu as a connection, he could finally establish a relationship with Mr. Xiao.
Xiao Yunlong stopped talking, opened the car door, and got in, then drove away with Liu Ruyan.
