Liu Dong was Gu Chenan's father's childhood friend, which made him Gu Chenan's uncle. That's why Gu Chenan's tone had remained calm throughout.
"Uncle Liu, let me explain how this situation came about. You see, that time when we met..."
Gu Chenan had intended to explain the whole story to Liu Dong, but he was immediately cut off by another angry outburst.
"Don't give me any excuses! I just want to know how you're going to resolve this!"
"How does Uncle Liu want to resolve it?" Gu Chenan, despite being interrupted, still didn't lose his cool. He asked with an attentive expression.
"Hah," Liu Dong sneered. "Aren't you cozying up to President Su from Caiying now? And that Caiying president also slapped Wan, right?"
"I could easily force you two to apologize to Wan through other means, but considering my friendship with your father, I'll settle for this: you and that President Su bow and apologize to Wan in person, and let Wan return those slaps to both of you. Then we can consider this matter closed."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering our relationship!"
The last sentence was delivered with a threatening tone.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenan finally felt his anger rising.
Apologize to Liu Wan in person and let her slap us back? What a joke!
"Hahaha," Gu Chenan laughed coldly. "Uncle Liu, please get one thing straight. I am me, and my father is my father. We can resolve this matter entirely without involving my dad. You don't need to consider your friendship with him, and I won't be constrained by your relationship with my father either."
Gu Chenan paused before continuing, "In other words, even if you weren't my father's childhood friend, I would have still slapped her twice."
He added, "Please tell Liu Wan that if she dares to disrespect me again, I won't hesitate to give her another slap."
These words immediately infuriated Liu Dong, who had initially wanted to settle the matter peacefully.
Who did Liu Dong think he was?
He was a local bigshot who owned several nightclubs and KTVs, and even a small real estate company!
It was well known that nightclub and KTV owners were usually not to be trifled with, and Liu Dong's small real estate company had quite a background too.
The main business of this real estate company was old building demolition and renovation. The company had numerous project managers responsible for demolition.
However, these so-called demolition project managers were actually a team of thugs recruited from society's fringes.
Whenever a project encountered trouble, these people would use intimidation and coercion to make the other party submit.
It's safe to say that if all of Liu Dong's deeds were brought to light, he would definitely be sentenced to prison!
One can imagine how furious Liu Dong was at Gu Chenan's audacious words, given the vast difference in their social status and power.
"Gu Chenan, don't you know what's good for you!" Liu Dong said through gritted teeth, barely containing his rage. "I'm calling you to talk this through nicely because of my friendship with your father. If you're so eager to die, I can help you with that."
"Haha," Gu Chenan sneered. "Uncle Liu, we live in a society governed by law."
"Scared?" Liu Dong raised an eyebrow.
"Not at all," Gu Chenan shrugged and smiled. "I just wanted to advise you, but if you insist on doing this, I'm happy to oblige."
"Fine," Liu Dong said with a menacing smile. "Don't think you're safe just because you've got Caiying's new president backing you. I can easily make both you and your little rich girlfriend disappear. Don't worry, the police will catch the culprit, but..." Liu Dong grinned, "...it won't have anything to do with me."
"Understood," Gu Chenan replied with a cold laugh, said "I'll be waiting," and then hung up the phone.
Liu Dong's words were very clear.
He could make Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo disappear without breaking a sweat, and then have someone else take the fall.
This wasn't an empty threat; Liu Dong truly had the power to do so.
But Gu Chenan also had the ability to easily deal with Liu Dong's ragtag bunch of thugs.
In fact, perhaps due to his experiences in the novel world that had raised his adrenaline levels, Gu Chenan was actually looking forward to this confrontation with Liu Dong.
He had originally thought that after returning to the real world, he would live an ordinary life, but now it seemed that wouldn't be the case.
"What's wrong, Chenan?" Liu Mingrui asked curiously.
Gu Chenan shook his head and spread his hands. "Nothing, just someone implying they want to kill me and Qianmo."
"What?" Liu Mingrui immediately became angry upon hearing this. "Who is it? I'll go kill them right now!"
In the novel, Liu Mingrui was a battle-hardened female general. In fact, according to the original plot of the novel, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Liu Mingrui a Valkyrie.
However, in the novel, Liu Mingrui rarely had the opportunity to take action.
"No, absolutely not. If you kill that person, you'll spend the rest of your life in prison," Gu Chenan quickly stopped her.
"Huh?" Liu Mingrui frowned, displeased. "Then what should we do?"
"Wait," Gu Chenan smiled.
...
Meanwhile, everyone who had been present at the banquet hall incident last night had learned about Liu Wan's identity.
Even many people at Dragon Power Group, where Liu Wan worked, had heard about this incident.
Caiying's new president and her fiancé had publicly slapped Liu Dong's daughter!
This was absolutely earth-shattering news!
Which company in the city would dare to make an enemy of Liu Dong?
Everyone knew clearly that the owner of a company that once offended Liu Dong had met with an inexplicable car accident and ended up in a vegetative state!
There were even cases where some companies had conflicts of interest with Liu Dong's company, and Liu Dong had his underlings cause trouble for those companies for a whole month.
Liu Dong's underlings were caught and sentenced, but Liu Dong himself remained untouched.
Even if everyone in the city knew that Liu Dong was behind these incidents, no one had any evidence!
These examples were just a few of the many things Liu Dong had done. In short, everyone knew that no one in the city dared to offend Liu Dong!
Everyone also knew what happened to those who did offend Liu Dong!
However, the president of Caiying, a company that had just pulled back from the brink of bankruptcy, had publicly slapped Liu Dong's daughter along with her fiancé.
This was simply asking for death!
Moreover, Liu Wan had publicly declared that she would make Gu Chenan and President Su pay the price. Anyone with half a brain knew what this meant.
It meant that Liu Wan would definitely have her father, Liu Dong, teach Gu Chenan and President Su a lesson!
Instantly, the entire city became worried for Caiying.
