Ruan Hongpeng had such deep respect for Fang Bai that it penetrated his very bones. Fang Bai had ordered him to restrain his subordinates from committing any more egregious crimes, and he took that to heart. Should any of his men disobey, he would personally step in and chop off one of their hands as a severe penalty.
Furthermore, Ruan Hongpeng had distributed Fang Bai's photo to every one of his underlings, instructing them to firmly remember "Master Fang's" face, stating that anyone foolish enough to cross Master Fang would personally have his hand chopped off as reparation.
Therefore, when Brother Wei and the other three men saw Fang Bai, they were all scared out of their wits, fearful that this person, who even Master Hong respected, would cripple them in a fit of rage.
"Yes... yes... we are underlings of Master Hong..."
Upon hearing Fang Bai's query, Brother Wei rapidly replied.
"Is this man your friend?"
Fang Bai pointed at Zhan Xing.
