Luo Xinghe immediately took out his phone to make a call.
“Little Huzi, what have you been up to lately?”
At that moment, in a neon-lit nightclub, a muscular man suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with excitement and enthusiasm.
“Young Master… Young Master, you’re finally reaching out to me on your own?”
“I… I’ve just been hanging out at Xinghe Nightclub lately. Thanks to Young Master Luo’s blessing, life’s been pretty decent.”
Around Little Huzi’s private room sat over a dozen younger guys and girls, all partying loudly.
As soon as they saw the man answer the phone, the room immediately quieted down, even the music was turned off.
One of the younger guys whispered, “Brother Hu?”
Brother Hu impatiently waved his hand and said, “Everyone out, don’t make noise.”
All the guys and girls quietly left the room, afraid of angering Brother Hu.
You see, Xinghe Nightclub was Brother Hu’s business—it was his territory.
Although Xinghe Nightclub didn’t hold much sway in Feng City, no big shot dared to cause trouble there.
Its reputation was quite formidable.
Clearly, Brother Hu had some serious backing.
At this point, even the notorious and fierce Brother Hu choked up, his eyes filled with tears.
“Young Master… sob sob…”
“Young Master, Little Huzi still wants to stay by your side.”
“Life back then was much better than it is now.”
“Young Master, when will you rebuild the Luo family? I still want to be your head of security… sob sob…”
Luo Xinghe sighed and said, “Huzi, don’t be like this. Isn’t it good just managing the nightclub and living life?”
Huzi wiped his tears and said, “Young Master, just say the word—whatever you need.”
“Whether it’s climbing a mountain of knives or jumping into a pot of oil, I’ll do it.”
Huzi was originally the head of security for the Luo family, protecting them for over a decade.
Since Luo Xinghe was a child, Huzi had always been by his side, until the Luo family went bankrupt.
But even after the family’s fall, Luo Xinghe made sure to give Huzi and the others a severance package.
A starved camel is still bigger than a horse, and the Luo family could still afford that much.
In fact, the Luo family still had a few million in their public account, but Luo Xinghe didn’t want to just sit around and deplete it.
He also wanted to mislead Zhou Shuai, which is why he went to deliver food.
Huzi used that money to open a nightclub.
He even named it Xinghe Nightclub, to commemorate the old days with the Luo family.
As a bodyguard of a prestigious family like the Luos, Huzi naturally held boundless admiration and respect for them.
After all, for over a decade, they never had to worry about food or clothing, and being associated with the Luo family made them people of status.
That kind of life couldn’t be replaced by simply running a nightclub.
Luo Xinghe hesitated and asked, “Huzi, how’s Xinghe Nightclub doing these days?”
Huzi replied, “It’s doing pretty well. Though it’s not that big, it has top-tier reputation in Feng City—thanks to the Luo family’s lingering influence.”
“Even though the Luo family has declined, no one really dares stir up trouble. That old prestige still holds.”
Luo Xinghe nodded and said, “Alright then. I want you to spread some rumors.”
“Say that Luo Xinghe is addicted to alcohol and women, likes to seduce and abandon them, especially targeting good women and students, and that he has terrible character.”
“Say he hits women when he’s drunk.”
Tiger Bro instantly flew into a rage.
“Which bastard dares ruin Young Master’s name like this?”
“Young Master, tell me—who is it?”
Luo Xinghe said helplessly, “I’m the one asking for it. Don’t worry about why, just do it.”
“I’ll be coming to Xinghe Nightclub often too.”
“Just make sure everything’s ready for me.”
Tiger Bro nodded, “Don’t worry, Young Master. I don’t know what you’re up to, but I’ll get it done, absolutely.”
“If I fail, I’ll shove my head down my pants.”
“Heh, Young Master, your Huzi will take good care of you—make sure you never want to leave!”
Luo Xinghe rolled his eyes but didn’t say anything.
The Luo family’s traditions weren’t particularly bad or good, and Luo Xinghe had a fairly decent reputation.
But his younger siblings didn’t enjoy the same standing.
So Li Hu had dealt with his fair share of wild situations.
Besides, Li Hu wasn’t exactly known for thinking things through—he was always impulsive and reckless.
As head of the Luo family’s security team, he often bullied others.
But that was all minor stuff.
The Luo family was the top household in Feng City. As long as no major scandal broke out, people gave them respect.
And when it came to shady dealings, Li Hu was quite experienced.
After all, he came from humble beginnings and was trained into a key player by the Luo family.
Luo Xinghe hung up the phone, feeling mentally drained.
What a wild day it had been.
He had used his brain too much, thought about too many things.
From the moment he broke off the engagement in the morning until night, his mind hadn’t stopped racing.
He’d even gotten into a fight over Shen Ying in the afternoon. Now that Zhou Shuai was arriving, he didn’t know what kind of trouble that might bring.
Tarnishing his own reputation was Luo Xinghe’s last resort.
The crooked-smiling Dragon King, Zhou Shuai, was about to arrive in Feng City—Luo Xinghe had no idea how to face him…
With all this on his mind, Luo Xinghe slowly drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, at the airport, a tall man with sharp eyes and a casual outfit had just gotten off a plane.
“What the hell? The flight was delayed this long?”
“This really messed up my schedule.”
Behind him followed a woman in a sleek outfit, her expression cold and stoic.
Hearing the man’s complaint, she said, “This was to help train the captain’s willpower.”
Zhou Shuai looked annoyed.
“The guy sitting in front of me had the stinkiest feet—I’ve got a headache from the stench.”
“If it wasn’t for that, the delay wouldn’t be such a big deal. What a crappy start.”
The woman replied, “What? How dare he?”
“Captain, should I kill him?”
Zhou Shuai gave her a helpless look and said, “Qiu Kui, we’re not on the battlefield right now.”
“Stop talking about killing all the time.”
“Use your brain.”
Qiu Kui paused, tilted her head, and absentmindedly touched her temple.
“Like this?”
Zhou Shuai took a deep breath. “Let’s go. We’ve arrived in Feng City. First, we’ll find a place to stay.”
Qiu Kui gave an “Oh” and stuck close behind Zhou Shuai as the two disappeared from the airport.
The crooked-smiling Dragon King, Zhou Shuai, had officially arrived in Feng City.
And the beautiful woman with him was one of the Five Blossoms at his side—the battlefield rose known for her ruthless precision: Qiu Kui.
Zhou Shuai had many fortuitous encounters since childhood, meeting masters who taught him martial arts.
He could sense danger even in a hail of bullets.
His combat skills were far beyond normal humans.
After years of fighting at the border, he was loaded with real battle experience.
And during that time, he’d met many remarkable women.
Qiu Kui, for example, was a Chinese female soldier he’d rescued during combat.
She was a martial arts prodigy.
But during one battle, she sustained a head injury, leaving her a little slow and dull at times.
Still, in close combat with a short dagger, she was deadly—even Zhou Shuai had to be cautious when facing her.
This time, Zhou Shuai had only brought her to Feng City. The rest of his team remained at the border, clearing the path behind him.
