Zhang Hao's face turned pale with fear as he repeatedly bowed to Chen Wanli, saying, "Mr. Chen, I was wrong. I failed to recognize you, and for that, I am deeply sorry! I hope you can forgive me this time!" Chen Wanli remained expressionless in the face of Zhang Hao's humility. He calmly replied, "Your mistake lies not in failing to recognize me?" Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment, then angrily slapped himself, saying, "My mistake was my incompetence! How could I fail to recognize you in broad daylight?"
The onlookers were stunned by Zhang Hao's sudden display of submission. However, Chen Wanli remained indifferent, accustomed to such behavior of yielding to power. He continued, "Even if you recognized me, what difference would it make?" Zhang Hao became even more flustered upon hearing this, unsure of what would happen next. Suddenly, a hurried footsteps approached from outside, followed by the forceful kicking open of the door.
Huang Wuye, accompanied by several bodyguards, strode into the room with a smile, saying, "Brother Chen, why did you come to my place without informing me beforehand? I would have prepared some fine wine to entertain you!" Everyone was astonished by the sudden appearance of Huang Wuye, especially when he referred to Chen Wanli as "brother."
Upon noticing the chaos in the room, Huang Wuye's expression changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "What's going on here?" Zhang Hao stepped forward and briefly explained the situation to Huang Wuye. After hearing the explanation, Huang Wuye's expression turned peculiar for a moment before quickly returning to warmth. He patted Chen Wanli on the shoulder and said, "Brother Chen, don't bother with these fools. Come upstairs with me for a drink!" Chen Wanli remained silent but did not refuse, following Huang Wuye out of the room.
Witnessing this, Li Tianyang couldn't help but feel tense, unable to believe what he was seeing. Huang Wuye was unexpectedly so warm towards Chen Wanli, even disregarding the chaos in the room and taking Chen Wanli away directly. This scene plunged Li Tianyang into contemplation as he silently speculated about the relationship between Huang Wuye and Chen Wanli.
Inside the room, Tang Yanran faced the gazes of the crowd calmly and firmly declared, "Chen Wanli is my husband. If he has done wrong, we will bear the consequences accordingly. Everyone is equal before the law, and I refuse to believe that anyone can escape justice!" Her words earned silent admiration from everyone present.
Outside the room, Chen Wanli listened to Li Tianyang's words with a cold gleam in his eyes, silently pondering. Meanwhile, Huang Wuye pulled Chen Wanli aside and said, "Brother Chen, you are not involved in the underworld, so you don't know the situation. Li Gang has some influence in the Jiangnan business district, and Li Baofeng has only one son. I made a pact with Li Baofeng not to involve each other's families in underworld matters. But now that his son has caused trouble in my establishment, if tomorrow my daughter faces trouble in his establishment, it will be chaos. Fighting will only escalate the situation. Everyone is striving to make a living, so we should maintain calm."
As he spoke, a flash of silver suddenly appeared, and a blade came straight at Huang Wuye. Huang Wuye's heart tightened, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. Feeling a chilling aura approaching, he couldn't help but lament, "My life is in danger!" At that moment, Chen Wanli intervened, saving Huang Wuye from harm.
In this thrilling scene, everyone was stunned, feeling an inexplicable fear and unease in the face of the sudden crisis.
Inside the room, Zhang Zhili saw the urgency of the situation and acted decisively. He grabbed Huang Wuye, successfully avoiding the fatal blow of the blade. This scene sent shivers down the spines of everyone present, who couldn't help but admire Zhang Zhili's quick thinking and bravery.
Outside the room, Huang Wuye's bodyguards quickly reacted and rushed forward to respond. However, the speed of their opponent was so fast that they could hardly resist. Suddenly, one of the bodyguards was struck by the silver light, blood splattering everywhere, and screams echoing in the room. The situation became chaotic in an instant.
At this moment, Zhang Zhili calmly considered his options. He knew that their opponent was not an ordinary person and had to be careful. The situation had far exceeded his expectations, but he showed no signs of retreat.
With Zhang Zhili's assistance, Huang Wuye managed to stand steady, determination gleaming in his eyes. He took a deep breath and nodded heavily in gratitude. Meanwhile, Zhang Zhili kept a close eye on their opponent, ready to face the next wave of attacks.
Inside and outside the room, the fierce battle raged on, every second filled with the test of life and death. The seamless cooperation between Zhang Zhili and Huang Wuye made everyone admire their strength and courage.
However, the enemy's attacks did not cease, and they seemed undeterred, continuing to launch fierce attacks against Huang Wuye and Zhang Zhili. As the situation grew increasingly dire, Zhang Zhili knew he had to quickly find a solution, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
