As Fei Hu was lost in thought, Brother Dong pulled him and seated him in the chair at the head of the table. Under Brother Dong's lead, everyone bowed to Fei Hu, which made him feel quite uncomfortable, causing Yingzi nearby to cover her mouth and laugh.
“Brother Dong, what do you mean by this? It seems a bit inappropriate!” Fei Hu asked Brother Dong with a puzzled expression.
After inviting everyone to sit down, Brother Dong smiled and said to Fei Hu: “I just received a call from the boss saying that you all have arrived. You are representing him, and you also carry his token. According to our rules, anyone who sees this token is equivalent to seeing the boss himself. So you don’t need to say anything; just make arrangements quickly. I estimate it won’t be long before this group comes back,” Brother Dong said as he took out a map of the wholesale market and briefly explained what had happened that evening.
Fei Hu pondered for a moment, asked Brother Dong a few questions about the map, and then whispered a few words to Yingzi, who turned and left. Just then, the person who had blocked Fei Hu at the door walked in with an air of arrogance. He asked Brother Dong: “Brother Dong! The boss only sent two people over; isn’t that a bit disrespectful to us? They’re definitely bringing at least a hundred people this time; we’ll be overwhelmed here!” As he spoke, he turned around and sat on the table in front of Fei Hu.
“Chen Qiang! You are being too reckless. He is representing the boss; you should get down!” Brother Dong couldn't help but shout.
The guy called Chen Qiang, somewhat unwillingly, stood up and muttered under his breath: “Even if the boss came personally, what would happen? We’d still get beaten.” Fei Hu heard him clearly but pretended not to notice, while Brother Dong glared at Chen Qiang anxiously.
“Brother Dong! They’ve arrived—there are so many of them, probably one or two hundred!” Suddenly, a young man rushed in from outside, shouting in panic.
Upon hearing this, Brother Dong’s expression changed slightly. He quickly said to Fei Hu: “Just stay here; you don’t need to go out. I’ll handle them. All Brothers, get ready!” As he spoke, he grabbed a steel pipe from the corner and ran out first. The people inside stood up one after another and rushed out, creating quite an impressive scene. Even Chen Qiang, with wide eyes, followed them out.
After pausing for a moment until everyone had exited, Fei Hu slowly walked outside. Outside the shop, there were crowds of people standing darkly; it was clear that the number of people on Brother Dong’s side was not on par with those opposing them. Just as Chen Qiang had said, they were indeed surrounded tightly. If a fight broke out now, there would be no chance of winning—only getting beaten.
Standing opposite Brother Dong was a bald man in his thirties or forties. He was thin and had sunken eyes that indicated either drug use or excessive indulgence in alcohol. With a sneer, he said: “Brother Dong, you’re quite an old hand at this. As they say, wise men avoid immediate losses; I suggest you take your few men and retreat! Once we start fighting, it will be too late to pull back.”
“Hahaha! Zhang Sijin, how dare you speak to me like that? If I remember correctly, back when you were nothing, I even helped you out. Now that you have numbers on your side today, you think you can point fingers at me? Isn’t that a bit too presumptuous? Let me be clear: I haven’t received any orders to retreat. Even if I die here tonight, I, A-Dong, will never take a step back,” said Brother Dong, swinging the steel pipe in his hand, which made Zhang Sijin step back several paces in fright.
Angrily, he shouted: “Don’t be ungrateful! I’m telling you all this for your sake and your brothers’. To be honest with you, I will be in charge of this wholesale market from now on.”
Fei Hu heard this and walked over, separating the crowd. He asked, "Who do you think you are to call the shots?"
Brother Dong saw Fei Hu come out and quickly made way for him, whispering, "Weren't you told not to come out? Look at the situation..." Fei Hu patted Brother Dong on the shoulder and stepped in front of him.
Zhang Sijin noticed and found it interesting; this person was wearing a mask and speaking arrogantly, clearly someone bold. He smiled and said, "Who I am doesn't matter; what matters is that I have two or three times more people than you do. So this market is under my control. Are you planning to make a move? Be careful for your life." As he spoke, a fierce look appeared on Zhang Sijin's face.
"Hahaha, that's quite a statement. So according to your logic, if I have more people, you'll just leave quietly, right?" Fei Hu raised his voice to ensure everyone could hear him.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Sijin stretched his neck to look at A-Dong's side and then laughed loudly, "Yes, I said that. Do you really think your lackeys outnumber mine? Impossible! Everyone can see clearly; we're not blind."
Seeing that the timing was right, Fei Hu placed his finger to his lips and let out a loud whistle. This sound left everyone present puzzled; did he have some hidden troops? Just as the whistle faded, three to four hundred people surged in from both sides of the shopping street, a scene that left everyone stunned.
As these two groups met, Fei Hu made a gesture to encircle them. Suddenly, these people scattered with a whoosh, surrounding Zhang Sijin's group in three layers. The rapid change left Zhang Sijin dumbfounded; he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Seeing that he had the upper hand, Fei Hu coldly asked Zhang Sijin, "Are we going to fight or are you leaving with your people? Please answer quickly." Fei Hu knew that with so many people gathered together, even if they didn't fight, it would attract too much attention; they needed to resolve this quickly.
At that moment, standing behind Fei Hu, Chen Qiang shouted loudly, "Big Brother, give the order! Let's take these bastards down!" With his shout, the dozens of people with Brother Dong joined in the chant. The atmosphere became extremely tense; sweat poured down Zhang Sijin's knife-like face like rolling beans. Trembling slightly and reluctantly, he said to Fei Hu, "I'll take my people away, but could you leave me a name for reference? I need something to report back."
Fei Hu was taken aback; he didn't know what name to leave. Beside him, Brother Dong quickly interjected, "The big brother of the Dragon Tiger Gang!"
Zhang Sijin looked skeptical; he knew that the big brother of the Dragon Tiger Gang was Ye Cheng, an elderly man in his sixties or seventies. How could a young man suddenly appear? But since it was an internal matter of their gang, he felt it inappropriate to ask further. Since even Brother Dong said so, it must be true. Zhang Sijin cupped his fist towards Fei Hu, turned around and waved his hand, leading his hundred or so men away quietly.
Chen Qiang hurriedly squeezed through beside Brother Dong, first bowing deeply to Fei Hu, then saying, "I failed to recognize your greatness earlier; please forgive my disrespect just now."
Fei Hu shook his head and replied, "It's fine. Quickly take your people away; don't linger here." As he spoke, he waved at Bald Zhang and Chen Lian. In an instant, the shopping street appeared empty again.
Just then, several police cars whizzed in and stopped right in front of Brother Dong's shop. A few officers jumped out of the cars, and one of them shouted, "We received a report saying that there is a brawl here. We need to conduct a routine check."
Brother Dong glanced at Fei Hu and said, "Feel free to check." Upon hearing this, the officer led his team inside, but they soon came back out, apparently having found nothing.
Watching the police cars drive away, Brother Dong smiled at Fei Hu and said, "You are really impressive! Even the police can't touch you. How about this? You might as well not go back; let's manage this market together." Fei Hu chuckled but remained silent.
Back inside the shop, several leaders had returned, and they each met with Fei Hu again. Especially Chen Qiang, who was in awe of Fei Hu and spoke with increased flattery. Yingzi suddenly asked Brother Dong, "They just left like that? What if they come back for a surprise attack? We really wouldn't have any way to deal with it."
Brother Dong shook his head and smiled slightly, saying, "They won't. In this line of work, credibility is important. Although what we do isn't exactly respectable, we still value trust highly. With so many people watching, at least Zhang Sijin won't cause trouble again in the near future. Oh! Those brothers and sisters who came earlier—why do they look so unfamiliar? It's like they aren't even from the Dragon Tiger Gang?" Brother Dong said this while smiling at Fei Hu.
Yingzi glanced at Fei Hu and paused before saying, "Those people just now are some friends from the streets; they aren't insiders of the gang. They came purely for personal reasons. As you know, those who can act within the gang are mostly controlled by Ye Wu. Grandpa's subordinates can't gather so many people in such a short time."
Upon hearing this, Brother Dong hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists towards Fei Hu and Yingzi, and said loudly, "Thank you both so much! It seems our big brother truly has an eye for talent; the Dragon Tiger Gang has promising successors!" As he said this, there was a glint of excitement in his eyes.
After chatting for a while and realizing it was getting late, Fei Hu and Yingzi waved goodbye to everyone. Brother Dong insisted on having a couple of drinks with them since Fei Hu had just recovered from an injury.
As they drove onto the overpass, Yingzi let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Tonight was really lucky. With so many people around, if a fight broke out, it would have been hard to control the situation. You were really calm at a critical moment; I didn't expect you to have such skills."
Fei Hu laughed and replied, "Not just skills; I should have many tricks up my sleeve." The two laughed heartily.
By the time they returned to the villa, it was already past one in the morning. However, Ye Cheng and Sister Wu were still awake. Upon hearing voices, Ye Xiaofei wrapped herself in a coat and came out. When she saw Fei Hu, she smiled beautifully.
