After finishing her sentence, she gave a sideways glance at Ma Xiaonan and the others.
The worker immediately caught on. âCould you please show me your registration number?â
âIâm sorry, we do not have a registration number!â
Ma Xiaonan shook her head in embarrassment.
âThen go over and register for one!â the workerâs gaze hardened as he barked.
âWe do not have the money.â Ma Xiaonan bit her lips and faltered.
âWait, what? How did they even manage to get here?â
âHah! Donât they know what place this is? How dare they try to come in?! If you donât have the money then donât come!â
âExactly! So what if sheâs a pretty girl?â
Some of the merchants shook their heads and chuckled bitterly.
âChen Hao, Xiaonan, why donât we just leave?â
Xiaonanâs mother knew she had caused trouble for Chen Hao and her daughter. She pulled on her daughterâs arm anxiously.
âItâs okay, aunty. Just leave it to me!â Chen Hao assured.
Then, he turned around and looked at the worker coldly.
âLooks like youâre new here? Ask Zuo Zhongtao to come out now. Tell him that a young man with the surname Chen is looking for him!â
âWhat? You⦠How dare you call Master Zuo by his full name?! Your first name is Chen? Why does that matter?! H-H-How ignorant you must be!â the worker stammered in shock.
All the rich merchants at the hall stared at Chen Hao dumbfoundedly too.
âDamn, look at that guy! If his rudeness makes Master Zuo angry, he wonât see any of us!â Liu Mo commented, watching the scene.
âExactly! Where did this brat come from? Heâs too impolite!â
The merchants broke into fits of rage.
Even the cold-looking girl and the ill-looking old man gave Chen Hao the side-eye.
âHeâs so going to get it from me!â
The young man named Qingshu grunted and went up to them.
Although they knew he was going to pick a fight with Chen Hao, the old man and the cold-looking girl did not bother to hold him back.
It might even serve the ignorant guy a lesson.
âHey hey hey! Youâre the guy who rode an electric trike! If you have no money just piss off! Stop holding up the others who paid to get their treatment!â Qingshu smirked.
At the same time, he held onto Chen Haoâs shoulders forcefully.
Chen Hao glanced at the young manâs hands on his shoulders.
âYou better move your hands before I make you regret putting your hands on me!â
Chen Haoâs quiet demeanour disappeared and was replaced with a hint of hostility.
âRegret? Haha, Iâm sure you donât know who I am, right?â The young man snorted.
He tried to apply more force.
Unexpectedly, all Chen Hao did was shake his shoulder slightly.
A loud bang echoed in the hall.
If you listened closely, you could vaguely hear the sound of something breaking.
It was followed by the young manâs blood-curdling scream.
He held his palm and took a few steps back.
âAh! My hand!â
The young man was in so much pain, cold sweat started dripping from his forehead. When he looked at the back of his hand, he saw red veins popping out angrily like worms crawling all over his hand.
âI will f*cking end you!â
The young man was humiliated. He roared and moved to lunge at Chen Hao.
âQingshu, stop it!â
He was stopped by the ill-looking elderly man.
However, he did not notice the old manâs eye twitch when he saw the back of Qingshuâs hand.
The old man looked scared.
Yes, Qingshu was strong.
Put it like this, even if he stood alone against three men from the special forces who attacked him together, Qingshu would easily win.
However, defeating Qingshu with just a simple shake of the shoulder... the strength of the man standing in front of them was unimaginable!
âStay back!â the old man warned again.
The cold-looking girl was also looking at Chen Hao, her eyebrows knitted.
âHey, young man! I apologize for my grandson's impoliteness just now. I hope he did not offend youâ
cough!â
The elderly man apologized before he started coughing vigorously.
âGrandfather!â Qingshu and the cold-looking girl called out anxiously.
âItâs okay. Young man, if it is possible, Iâm willing to give you my position of being the first in the queue to let Master Zuo have a look at your family first!â
No one expected the old man to suggest something like this.
âGrandfather! Why should we give him our place? Who is he?!â Qingshu raged on.
âThatâs good. Your illness is incurable anyway, even Zuo Zhongtao wonât be able to help you!â Chen Hao replied. He didnât bother being courteous anymore.
âHow dare you?!â
Both Qingshu and the girl were enraged.
Even the elderly man grimaced.
âYoung man, I know that youâre strong, but you should always be careful with your words. Although I donât mind it, if you talk to others like this, you might get into trouble easily!â
The elderly man spoke with a grim expression to express his dissatisfaction. After all, no one liked to be spoken to in that manner.
Both sides looked as if they might start a war soon.
The worker rushed to the back when he saw the situation unfolding in front of him.
âChen Hao, letâs just drop it and leave! We canât afford to offend these people!â
However, Xiaonanâs mother was terrified as she tried to coax Chen Hao to stop.
At the same time.
In an incense-infused room at the inner part of the medical centre.
A middle-aged man was wiping his hands with a towel after sending off a patient.
âMaster, master! Something happened! A fight might break out at the hall soon!â
âWhat? What happened? How dare they start a fight at my place? Make all of them leave, now!â the middle-aged man commanded coldly.
âNo, the thing is, Iâve noticed that one of them bears the surname, Wei! They were also generous, paying 5,000,000 for registration!â
âThat personâs surname was Wei?â
Said middle-aged man was Zuo Zhongtao.
When he heard that the person paid such a large sum and had the surname Wei, he understood who it was already.
Right then, caution flashed over his face.
âAlright, I will go out now. Who is the other person who stupidly offended the Wei family?â
After rinsing his face, Zuo Zhongtao questioned.
âI donât know. Just some poor loser. He didnât even pay a single buck for the registration fees and wouldnât leave when I asked him to! He even asked me to summon you to meet him, and said his name was Chen something!â
âWhat?! His surname was Chen? Is he a young man?!â
Smack!
Zuo Zhongtao threw away his towel and questioned, an unreadable expression plastered across his face.
âYeah!â
The worker was taken aback.
âWhat if itâs him?â
Zuo Zhongtaoâs facial expression tightened.
Then, he ran out in a hurry.
âHeâs dead meat. His life is completely over now. Not only did he offend Master Zuo, he also offended a rich family on a completely different level! Hmph! Letâs see how he gets himself out of this!â Liu Mo smirked.
âExactly! Looks like we wonât have to see Ma Xiaonan in the Southwest region anymore!â
Yuanyuan too, chuckled coldly.
âMaster Zuo!â
âMaster Zuo!â
Suddenly, all the rich merchants in the hall started cheering.
It turned out that Zuo Zhongtao had come.
However, his gaze was fixated at where Qingshu and the others were at. He rushed over, excitement clearly on his face.
"Wow, what family is that? They can even make Master Zuo react like this?!â
âI know, right? Thatâs weird!â
Everyone was curious.
However, they were even more confused when Master Zuo went past Qingshu and the others, heading toward the poor loser instead.
The scene that happened next stunned everyone. Their mouths were opened so wide you could even stuff eggs inside.
Everyone watched as Master Zuo bowed down in front of the poor loser. âSenior Brother, I am here to see you!â
