is mother answer the door and say she would open right away, Xiao Yu pulled the blanket over his head to continue sleeping.Just as he intended to fall back asleep, he was startled awake by a baby's cr...Chapter 669: Old Five's Rivals

"Fourth, is what Second Brother said true" Although Zhang Qiuzhan believed it in his heart, he couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yu also found their expressions amusing, but he still nodded.

"Yeah... I knew my brother wasn't an ordinary person!" Seeing Xiao Yu admit it, the two of them stared at each other blankly for a moment before suddenly jumping up and shouting excitedly.

They were very happy to see Xiao Yu achieve success. To be frank, among all of them, Xiao Yu's family background was the worst, and when he was in school, his grades were also poor. This made them worry about Xiao Yu's future, but they knew his temperament, so no one said anything.

Their excited shouts echoed loudly in the quiet space since they hadn't lowered their voices at all. The originally noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent as people turned to look at where Xiao Yu and his friends were sitting.

Seeing this situation, Old Three and Old Five both felt a bit embarrassed and blushed slightly. They chuckled awkwardly at the people in the restaurant and quickly sat down.

Although they sat down, their excitement was clearly visible on their faces. They never imagined that Xiao Yu had achieved such great accomplishments without making much fuss.

To them, this kind of achievement seemed nothing short of miraculous. If they hadn't seen him for over a year and learned he'd become a billionaire, they would believe it because wealth could depend on luck; one lucky lottery win could change everything. But becoming an expert or master relied entirely on genuine talent and hard work, leaving no room for shortcuts.

"I said who's so uncouth! It turns out to be you! Looks like this lack of manners is inherited!"

As the two were celebrating Xiao Yu's achievement, a shrill voice from afar suddenly mocked them.

"Heh heh, it's Wang Wei! You eunuch, you're looking for death Last time wasn't enough of a beating for you" Hearing this voice, Xiao Yu and the others frowned slightly. Guo Liang even stood up, looked at the speaker with disdain, and mocked him.

The person's face turned red instantly upon hearing Guo Liang’s words, revealing a hint of anger.

At this moment, Xiao Yu and the rest also turned their gaze to this person. The speaker was in his twenties, not tall with an extremely frail body. His complexion was very pale, without even a trace of beard, which explained why Guo Liang called him a eunuch.

Moreover, from the looks of it, there seemed to be some grudge between them; otherwise, given Guo Liang's personality, he wouldn't have spoken so harshly.

"Guo Liang, you're looking for death!" Upon hearing Guo Liang’s words, this person's face turned red with rage as he clenched his teeth and spat out.

"Humph, it seems the lesson last time wasn't enough for you," seeing the other man’s reaction, Guo Liang replied coolly without any concern on his face.

"Hmph, fine then. You wait and see, I'll cripple your legs today if that's not who you want to be!" Hearing Guo Liang’s words, Wang Wei sneered and looked at him.

After saying this, the man ignored Guo Liang and started chatting with the two people beside him.

This place was akin to the headquarters of Zhejiang businessmen, so no one would cause trouble here. Especially these second-generation rich kids; they were extremely arrogant outside but very polite here. After all, those who could come here were mostly from Zhejiang and might be potential business partners in the future. If they left a bad impression on people here due to their behavior, it could lead to some possible cooperation falling through, which would be counterproductive. Therefore, when these second generations came here, they all displayed good manners.

When Xiao Yu looked at Wang Wei, he didn't show much reaction, but his brows slightly furrowed when he saw the two people beside him. It turned out that these two weren’t ordinary people; they were martial artists. Although both of them had just stepped into the stage of Ming Jing in martial arts, it was more than enough to deal with Guo Liang.

Seeing Wang Wei stop talking, Guo Liang also sat down somewhat boredly.

Zhang Qiuzhan had been sitting quietly beside them, watching Wang Wei with a thoughtful expression. He was roughly aware of Gu Liang and Wang Wei's enmity, which stemmed from their parents being business rivals, making the two young men enemies by extension.

Although Zhejiang businessmen formed a community, conflicts of interest were inevitable among individuals. When these conflicts were minor, they could be ignored; however, when they became direct and significant, reconciliation would become impossible.

"Old Five, what’s going on" After Gu Liang sat down, Wang Chengzhi asked with furrowed brows.

Upon hearing Wang Chengzhi's question, Gu Liang began recounting the story to them...

It turned out that their families had been enemies for generations. Their fathers never got along from day one in business, and as they delved deeper into the commercial world, conflicts intensified between both households. However, mutual restraint prevailed because of their social standing. Yet, a project dispute escalated when Wang Wei's family stole Gu Liang's family’s project data, leading to an irreparable rift.

Previously, Wang Wei had harassed a girl in a nightclub, which Gu Liang witnessed. If it were anyone else, Gu Liang might have let it slide since such incidents are common in nightclubs and the women there aren't typically of impeccable character; however, seeing that Wang Wei was behind this, he intervened.

Given their longstanding enmity, another person with comparable status might get away with meddling, but Gu Liang's intervention was seen as a direct challenge. Thus, Wang Wei did not back down.

The confrontation escalated quickly due to the imbalance in numbers and physical prowess; Wang Wei’s weaker physique made him no match for Gu Liang, who subsequently subdued him.

Generally, such conflicts among second-generation rich wouldn't involve their parents unless there was a significant loss. Moreover, each side had its own rules of engagement that rarely overlapped. If the losses were not severe, adults tended to turn a blind eye as it served as a form of training for these young men.

After listening to Gu Liang's account, Wang Chengzhi and others nodded but did not take it seriously. Even Xiao Yu was nonchalant about it; even if martial artists were present here, they were mere bystanders. Moreover, even if he weren’t around, these martial artists would handle such situations with restraint out of an unwritten rule. Few dared to violate this tacit agreement as there were severe legal repercussions and a special department in the Thirteenth Bureau dedicated to handling such issues.

If martial artists injured someone and it reached the Thirteenth Bureau's attention, any resistance from them would not be tolerated; they could take action first and only report it afterward.

When the Thirteen Bureau was first established, it ruthlessly eliminated a batch of martial artists to enforce its will. After all, there weren't many martial artists in the Thirteen Bureau; they were mostly special forces soldiers. Although these special forces soldiers might not be able to match individual martial artists, when it came to killing people, the martial artists couldn't compete with them. Moreover, these special forces soldiers could also use firearms.

Although Xiao Yu had his back turned to Wang Wei, he could sense that someone occasionally glanced in their direction. However, Xiao Yu didn't make a fuss about it and continued chatting animatedly with his brothers.

Xiao Yu and the others finished eating here, after which Guo Liang proposed going KTV singing. Since Guo Liang and Zhang Qizhan felt that men singing alone wasn't interesting, they called their respective girlfriends and asked them to bring two friends along as well.

Xiao Yu and Wang Chengzhi heard the phone calls too, but neither of them said anything because those who were invited were their respective girlfriends. Although such girlfriends might not necessarily end up marrying them in the long run, they at least took things seriously for now and weren't out to toy with women's emotions. Xiao Yu could tell this from their expressions when making the phone calls.

After making the calls, Xiao Yu and the others went to a teahouse for tea while waiting for their girlfriends to arrive.

About an hour later, Zhang Qizhan’s phone rang; his girlfriend had arrived. However, she wasn’t a member of this establishment, so after hanging up, Zhang Qizhan went out to meet her at the entrance of Golden Garden.

Shortly afterward, Zhang Qizhan brought in a girl aged around twenty-one or twenty-two. She had long hair that draped over her shoulders, but she was extremely bashful and kept her head lowered so that Xiao Yu couldn’t see what she looked like.

"Here, Xiaojing, let me introduce you to them. You know these two already. Haven't you always wondered who our fourth brother is Well, this is him!"

After bringing the girl in, Zhang Qizhan pointed at Xiao Yu with a smile and said.

"Fourth Brother, this is my sister-in-law Wang Jing from Zhejiang University's School of Business; she’s also an outstanding student!" After introducing Xiao Yu, Zhang Qizhan turned to introduce the girl beside him to Xiao Yu proudly.

This girl was in her second year during summer vacation and had been working part-time at a place called "坑爹基" (which stewed meat always felt was just plain rip-off! It wasn’t nutritious and was expensive, but kids loved it. The one who got ripped off was the parent...). One day when Zhang Qizhan went there to eat, he saw her; upon first seeing this girl, he felt an inexplicable attraction towards her that captivated him deeply. As a result, he launched a fierce courtship campaign and eventually won her over.hose people always made sure others knew they were rich — wearing gold and silver accessories or even wanting to hang a check around their necks — yet the most money in their cards was only several do...
