Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 419: Chapter 312: Breaking Through Limits (Please Subscribe)

Lianshang Song Bar is one of Sun Shangwu’s many businesses; in the city, Lianshang has thirteen branches, wielding considerable power, and the middle-aged man named Ma Yao standing before them is the general manager here.

Of course, to put it bluntly, the man before them was simply a wage earner, and if Chu Mo hadn’t taken the initiative to come over, he wouldn’t even have qualified to meet Chu Mo, let alone engage in a conversation with him.

Although he was a decade older than Chu Mo, the gap in status between the two was too great; even if Chu Mo were to call him “little Ma,” it would be considered a gracious acknowledgment.@@novelbin@@

The middle-aged man with the squinty eyes was very submissive, keeping his head down and smiling throughout the encounter, displaying an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

“Mr. Chu, our Chairman Sun will be here shortly. Shall we go sit in my office?”

As the middle-aged man named Ma Yao finished speaking, Chu Mo turned his attention to the clever and nimble Tao Yun standing by his side, who clearly also knew how to behave in such gatherings—in front of so many people, she conducted herself with great propriety.

Zhou Yuanyuan was still in the private room. Since Chu Mo had already come, he couldn’t let it be a wasted trip. Rather than exchanging pleasantries with the older man before him, Chu Mo preferred to spend time with Tao Yun, Zhou Yuanyuan, and other girls of his own age.

He turned his gaze to Fan Gao standing beside him and casually said:

“Director Fan, if Sun Shangwu comes later, please give him my regards. I’ll chat with some acquaintances here, and since there’s nothing else, we’ll head back after a while!”

As he finished speaking, the towering 1.9 meters tall Fan Gao immediately nodded. With his status as the secondary head of the Fan family, he even ranked higher than Sun Shangwu, and the middle-aged fatso opposite was equally beneath his notice.

Tao Yun’s face lit up with joy as she quietly tugged at Chu Mo’s sleeve, preparing to head towards the private room, when suddenly, Ma Yao across from them spoke with a serious tone:

“Is Mr. Chu’s friend in private room 555?”

Chu Mo remained silent; he had no idea which private room Tao Yun was in, so he waited for Tao Yun to nod, and the middle-aged man before them suddenly said:

“I see. Since everyone in that private room is a friend of Mr. Chu, then we can’t let Liu Kai and his gang stir up trouble here!”

Upon finishing his statement, the squint-eyed middle-aged man immediately turned to his entourage and commanded:

“Notify the security department at once. Call all the bouncers from the other branches to our bar. When Ma Kai’s men arrive, make absolutely sure they can’t come up and disturb Mr. Chu’s refined pleasure!”

The attendant immediately nodded and ran off to arrange various matters. Meanwhile, Chu Mo, whose expression had grown solemn, also realized that things were not as simple as Tao Yun had described. He stood firmly once again and asked the middle-aged man before him:

“Manager Ma, what’s going on?”

As Chu Mo spoke, the previously stern-faced Ma Yao instantly bent forward, his face full of apologies:

“I’m very sorry, Mr. Chu. We were unaware that the people in the private room were your friends. We let you and your friends be aggrieved. Here’s what happened: just now, one of Ma Kai’s henchmen was singing in our bar and somehow got into a confrontation with a young man in that room.

Then a young man from Mr. Chu’s side, skilled in martial arts, gave those hooligans a good beating. However, those hooligans work for Ma Kai, and he’s already vowed to seek vengeance.

I just received a call from Ma Kai as well. He’s gathering his people, and they should arrive in about ten to twenty minutes. But rest assured, Mr. Chu. I will deploy more staff to ensure that these ruffians don’t disturb your refined pleasure.”

Tao Yun’s eyes widened in shock. She thought the incident had already been dealt with, and her classmates were still bragging about their exploits in the private room, without realizing that this was merely the calm before the storm.

If Chu Mo hadn’t arrived, the consequences could have been dire once the hooligans showed up—it’s very likely they wouldn’t have been able to resolve the situation, which could have escalated into a terrifying, bloody conflict. The more the young girl thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her small face gradually turned pale.

Chu Mo simply nodded. He had thought his trip was in vain, but now that he understood the situation, it was fortunate he’d come. Otherwise, Tao Yun and Zhou Yuanyuan could have suffered.

As for Zhou Yuanyuan, he hadn’t won her over yet, which was another matter, but Tao Yun truly belonged to him. The thought of her being humiliated by a group of hooligans made his skin crawl!

Tao Yun, who was still visibly shaken, moved closer to Chu Mo. She bit her lip gently, and as her beautiful eyes looked up at Chu Mo, they were filled with emotion.

Chu Mo patted the young girl’s hand gently and, after calming her slightly, he turned to ask the middle-aged man:

“Who is this Ma Kai, and what’s his background? You run a bar, and popularity is most crucial. Won’t this trouble Chairman Sun?”

Just as Chu Mo finished speaking, the door of the private room opposite them suddenly opened, and a girl emerged, wearing black stockings and a beige dress.

The moment the girl appeared, the hallway seemed to be monopolized by her radiance. Tao Yun immediately waved to her. The girl, Zhou Yuanyuan, with her ponytail neatly over her shoulder and wearing white high-heeled sandals, looked elegant and graceful as she walked towards them with a puzzled expression.

Tao Yun then let go of Chu Mo’s hand and went to meet Zhou Yuanyuan, whispering an explanation to her about the situation.

The middle-aged man named Ma Yao shifted his gaze to Zhou Yuanyuan, seemingly impressed by her dazzling presence, but being of a certain age and cunning, he quickly glanced over her and then began to explain to Chu Mo:

“Mr. Chu, you should be familiar with Ma Kai. He’s a thug under Su Zhengxiong. Recently, with Su Zhengxiong withdrawing from this city, some of his business has been taken over by his underlings.

Among these, Ma Kai was the most powerful force, having swallowed up over a dozen bars and karaoke lounges under Su Zhengxiong’s name, and he was at the peak of his ambition.

Moreover, it was said that Ma Kai was backed by the shadow of a major family in Modu, but what exactly that entailed was beyond my knowledge.

Of course, although Ma Kai had gained considerable strength, he still did not dare to trouble our Director Sun. Mr. Chu, you can rest assured on that point,”

Chu Mo’s eyes widened slightly in surprise; he hadn’t expected this matter could be linked to him in any way.

This Ma Kai was actually one of Su Zhengxiong’s former subordinates.

Su Zhengxiong had already withdrawn from Modu, and his major assets were taken over by Chu Mo, but the one formerly known as King Su indeed had a large family with extensive businesses—too many to deal with, so they had no choice but to fall into the hands of his former subordinates!

Although Chu Mo was determined to deal with Su Zhengxiong, he had never paid much attention to the forces Su Zhengxiong left behind in Modu. For instance, this Ma Kai, who managed over a dozen dance halls, or other minor followers who gained related benefits, Chu Mo had never really taken them seriously!

Now that he had encountered the situation, Chu Mo was curious to see just how much power these remnants of Su Zhengxiong’s forces still had in Modu.

He nodded at the middle-aged man opposite him and said in a calm voice,

“Later, let your men not stop Ma Kai; let him come up. I would like to see what this man is capable of.”

The middle-aged man opposite him hesitated slightly, but after Chu Mo glanced at him indifferently, the man immediately agreed respectfully,

“Sure thing, Mr. Chu. I’ll instruct the guys downstairs to let him through, but… Ma Kai has a lot of underlings, and I’m worried if they cause a scene, and you get hurt, I won’t be able to bear the responsibility…!”

Chu Mo waved his hand to stop the middle-aged man’s words. He glanced at Fan Gao beside him, a man as strong as Jiang Tao. With him around, one man was as good as a hundred ordinary men.

Besides, aside from Fan Gao, Fang Lihu had sixteen well-chosen elite bodyguards. With such a protective lineup, if Chu Mo could still get hurt by a bunch of petty thugs, then all his bodyguards might as well pack up and leave.

Chu Mo had full confidence in his team of bodyguards. Besides, even if Su Zhengxiong himself came, he would have to behave in front of Chu Mo, let alone a toothless dog that had lost its master.

The middle-aged man opposite him went to arrange for the security downstairs, and at the same time, he picked up his phone to personally report the situation to Sun Shangwu, who was on his way.

At this moment, opposite Chu Mo, Zhou Yuanyuan, who had just learned of the situation from Tao Yun, stepped forward gently. Upon arriving before Chu Mo, the radiant ice queen softly spoke,

“Brother Chu, you’re troubled again!”

Chu Mo nodded. As he was talking to Zhou Yuanyuan, Ma Yao, who was on the phone across from him, immediately approached with a serious expression,

“Mr. Chu, security downstairs has informed us that Ma Kai is coming over with a group of underlings, around sixty or seventy people.”

Chu Mo glanced at Fan Gao, who was closely following him, and suddenly smiled,

“Minister Fan, it’s all up to you this time!”

Hearing this, the nearly two-meter-tall Fan Gao, who did not look particularly noticeable, nodded gravely. He knew this was Chu Mo’s test for him. If he couldn’t even handle this, not only would he, Fan Gao, no longer be of use, even his entire Fan family wouldn’t be likely to gain strong support from Chu Mo!

In that moment, Fan Gao moved to loosen his muscles, and amidst the crackling sounds reminiscent of popping beans, this otherwise unremarkable middle-aged man suddenly emitted a terrifying aura, like that of a fierce beast.

Under this powerful aura, Zhou Yuanyuan and Tao Yun, the two young girls beside him, immediately widened their eyes and subconsciously moved closer to Chu Mo.

The middle-aged man opposite shivered and his squinted eyes flashed a startled gleam.

At Chu Mo’s side, including Fang Lihu, over a dozen bodyguards instinctively tensed up under this powerful aura, and even veins on Fang Lihu’s forehead began to bulge!

Yet Chu Mo, standing in front of Fan Gao, had the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

He was all too familiar with this aura; whenever he met with the head of the detective agency, Jiang Tao, he would feel this oppressive power.

Now, however, this familiar aura gave Chu Mo a sense of reassurance.

Fan Zhijian’s younger brother, Fan Gao, truly was as powerful as a tiger!

At this moment, Chu Mo was even somewhat eager to witness just how strong this man, who would be protecting him closely in the future, really was.
