"Sir Gu, how should we deal with this person?"
Looking at Wang Hu on the ground, Gu Chenan crouched down with a smile and nodded, asking, "Where are Liu Dong and Liu Wan now?"
Fear flickered in Wang Hu's eyes as he blinked and said, "I- I don't know."
After witnessing Ma Bing's skills earlier, Wang Hu knew he stood no chance against him, and even attempting to escape would be impossible.
Their attempt to confront Gu Chenan was like throwing eggs at a stone!
Although he hadn't figured out Gu Chenan's true identity, Ma Bing's respectful attitude toward him was enough to prove that Gu Chenan wasn't as simple as Liu Dong had claimed.
How could it be possible that Gu Chenan's family ran a small convenience store?
How could it be possible that Gu Chenan was just a pretty face?
Even wealth couldn't command such respect from an extraordinary person like Ma Bing - there had to be something else!
Though Wang Hu couldn't figure out the reason, he knew better than to push his luck, even if Gu Chenan was ordinary!
"I..." Wang Hu hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the indifferent Gu Chenan and said, "Mr. Gu, both Chairman Liu and Miss Liu are at Golden Luxury KTV."
After speaking, Wang Hu begged, "Mr. Gu, I was just following orders, there's no personal grudge between us."
"Very good."
Gu Chenan nodded and stood up, then nodded to Ma Bing, "Take some men to Golden Luxury KTV and bring Liu Dong and Liu Wan to see me."
"Understood."
Ma Bing nodded and walked out of the Caiying hall.
Seeing Ma Bing leave, Wang Hu felt slightly relieved.
His eyes darted around as he calculated his next move, then he stood up and looked at Gu Chenan: "Mr. Gu, can I leave now?"
To be honest, his fear earlier was entirely due to Ma Bing's presence. Now that Ma Bing had left, how could Gu Chenan stop him, a six-foot-tall strong man?
Moreover, although the dozen or so men he brought were knocked unconscious by Ma Bing, being unconscious didn't mean they were dead. They could wake up at any moment. Logically, Gu Chenan should want him to leave more than he did, right?
But Gu Chenan gave him an indifferent look: "Your boss will be here soon, just wait a bit longer."
"But..."
Before Wang Hu could finish speaking, Gu Chenan stood up and kicked him in the face. Wang Hu's face felt like it had been struck by an iron hammer, his head slammed against the ground, and he instantly lost consciousness.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
Mr. Gu was truly ruthless!
......
At Golden Luxury KTV.
Liu Dong was confidently puffing on a cigar while occasionally checking his phone.
Today, he had sent Wang Hu with all his elite men to Caiying. They would definitely be able to bring both Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo to Golden Luxury!
Once those two arrived at Golden Luxury, their fate would no longer be in their own hands!
"Dad, how's it going?"
Liu Wan asked anxiously from the side. Now that everyone in Shanghai knew about this matter and was laughing at her, Liu Wan couldn't wait for Wang Hu to bring Gu Chenan to Golden Luxury!
"What's the rush? Wang Hu took so many men with him, it's absolutely foolproof," Liu Dong said confidently.
Liu Dong naturally wanted revenge too, but such things couldn't be rushed.
This time was different from before. Usually, he would have someone quietly eliminate Gu Chenan, but this time Gu Chenan had humiliated him.
What he wanted to do was openly kidnap Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo from Caiying, letting everyone in Shanghai know that if you offend Liu Dong, he can deal with you anywhere, even in your own company!
Now everyone in Shanghai knew he would definitely seek revenge, but they didn't know how he would do it.
Liu Dong felt that nothing could be more satisfying than brazenly kidnapping someone from their own company and teaching them a lesson.
Only this way could he regain his lost face.
However, at this moment, he heard a commotion outside his office.
It was accompanied by sounds of collisions and wailing.
Liu Dong frowned and was about to go check the situation, but as soon as he pushed open the office door, he saw the tall and imposing Ma Bing with several black-suited bodyguards behind him.
Liu Dong was stunned: "Who- who are you?"
Ma Bing didn't waste words, grabbed him by the hair and dragged him out of the office, then nodded to those inside, "Bring that woman too."
"Yes!"
Several black-suited bodyguards nodded and entered the office together.
Seeing this situation, Liu Wan in the office immediately panicked. She kept backing away while fearfully saying, "Who- who are you, what do you want?"
"Do you know who I am? What you're doing is suicide!" Liu Dong, still being held by the hair, quickly spoke up.
"Heh."
At this moment, Ma Bing gave a cold laugh and said, "Our Young Master Gu requests your presence at Caiying."
Young Master Gu? Caiying?
Hearing these two terms, both father and daughter were shocked, suddenly understanding who these people were.
However, they were still confused. Wasn't Gu Chenan just Gu Zheng's son? Since when did people address him as Young Master?
And where did Gu Chenan find these people?
Before they could figure it out, Ma Bing and his men dragged the father and daughter out of the office.
Only then did they understand where the earlier commotion had come from.
Outside the office, all the security guards were lying on the ground, and the decorative items around were scattered in disarray.
Obviously, when Ma Bing and his team entered, they had already dealt with all the security guards who might have tried to stop them from taking Liu Dong and his daughter.
Liu Dong, who had been hoping his security guards would help, completely panicked.
He quickly said, "Brother, let's talk this through. I don't know what Gu Chenan promised you, but if you let me go, I can give you money, a lot of money!"
"There must be some misunderstanding, you probably don't know who I am? I'm Liu Dong, the famous Liu Dong of Shanghai, half of Shanghai's underworld belongs to me!"
"I don't know why you call that Gu Chenan 'Young Master,' but in fact, his family runs a small convenience store. You must have been deceived by him!"
"You're in big trouble for kidnapping me!"
"I'm not bragging, but I know quite a few people in Shanghai. My friends won't let you get away with this!"
"If you let me go, I'll not only give you a large sum of money but also forget about today's incident, how about that?"
At this point, Ma Bing couldn't stand listening anymore. He was naturally impatient and had no interest in Liu Dong's nonsense, so he simply knocked him out with two punches.
"Dad!"
Seeing this, Liu Wan immediately cried out in shock.
Ma Bing didn't show any mercy to her either, turning around and delivering two more punches.
Well, that settled it - both father and daughter were now quiet.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
