Zhou Bapi and Zhao Changfa were arguing there for quite a while, with no intention of paying.

Xu Xiangbei did not have time to waste with them here.

"Are you going to pay or not?" His voice was cold, as if coming from the depths of hell.

"This is just a wager, President Xu, don’t take it too seriously. Although I’m not very wealthy, I’m the general manager of a major company in Jiangcheng, respected and notable. And President Zhou has assets worth several billion. We are people of status, why would we owe you ten million?"

"Oh, so you’re saying you want to pay?"

"No, my point is this matter should end here, and there’s no need to strain relationships since we might meet again someday. Don’t you agree?"

Though Zhao Changfa’s tone seemed negotiable, the threat was clear.

"Oh, so you mean you’re not going to pay? Then I suppose I have to force you!"

As Xu Xiangbei spoke, he got out of his car, looking ready to take action.

"Seems like there’s no peaceful resolution today!" Zhou Bapi removed his jacket and stepped down from his Audi.

Xu Xiangbei noticed that he had practiced martial arts, though only at a basic level, but enough to deal with ordinary people. He had some muscle, but due to his years of indulgence, his physique was now weak and less obvious.

"President Xu, I advise you to let it go. President Zhou here is trained in martial arts, and handling two or three people is no problem. With your skinny frame, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle his punches! If you end up hospitalized, don’t blame us!" Zhao Changfa pretended to advise with a kind face.

"Yeah, you see I don’t usually have bodyguards with me. My family used to be a martial arts lineage, although now it’s abandoned, beating someone like you is a punch each!"

President Zhou laughed, squeezed his fists, bones cracking, and he looked at Xu Xiangbei like he was eyeing a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward, his punching speed extremely fast and powerful, not something an ordinary person could dodge. If a regular person got hit by that punch, they’d be down for weeks.

However, Xu Xiangbei reached out and caught his swinging fist. Although Xu’s arm seemed thin, at this moment, it appeared extremely strong. His palm tightly enveloped the other seemingly large fist. The two were like frozen in a contest of strength.

Then, Xu Xiangbei applied some pressure, and Zhou Bapi’s face began to turn red. He struggled with his hand, but found Xu’s hand was like steel, or a clamp, gripping tightly, unable to shake it off.

He tried to punch with his other fist, but Xu Xiangbei clenched,

"Ah!" His face turned red, he kneeled down, trembling, sweating profusely, as if undergoing immense torture.

"President Zhou, I checked your pulse just now, and found your energy is blocked! Recently, you should restrain yourself, don’t overexert, or else you might not live much longer!

You’d better transfer the owed money to me quickly. To be untrustworthy is intolerable! You are supposedly a gentleman, right? How can you not pay your debts?"

Xu Xiangbei smilingly looked at him, akin to looking at a puppy.

"President Xu, President Xu, I’m wrong, please spare me!" Zhou Bapi let out a pig-like howl, realizing he was like a chick in someone’s hand, toyed with at will.

"So, about the money?"

"I’ll transfer it, I’ll transfer it, I’ll do it right away!" Zhou Bapi grovelled on the ground, as if crying and begging for mercy.

Xu Xiangbei released him, while Zhao Changfa, seeing the situation deteriorate, immediately jumped onto his luxury car and fled like the wind.

"President Xu, Zhao Changfa has fled!"

"Don’t worry, he can’t escape, this makes it interesting. Playing catch the chicken, I love when others race against me! But act quick, if I don’t see the money within a minute, who knows what I’ll do to you?"

Xu Xiangbei watched the yellow sports car moving farther away, a faint smile on his face, enjoying the cat-and-mouse game.

Zhou Bapi originally wanted to distract Xu Xiangbei to escape, but found now it was just delusional, so he obediently picked up the phone and transferred the money.

Once the money was received, Xu Xiangbei helped Zhou Bapi straighten his appearance, patted his chest, and gently said, "President Zhou, you’re truly an honest child. If you want to bet with me in the future, feel free, I’m not afraid!"

After speaking, he leapt into his silver-white Porsche, fired up the engine, and sped away, tightly pursuing Zhao Changfa’s yellow sports car.

The two were about three kilometers apart, luckily there were no turns here, just a straight road, otherwise, he’d have lost track already. As the scenery on both sides flew by rapidly, the distance between them quickly decreased.

"Hey, I heard about your wager just now, why do I feel like you’re setting a trap for others, you rogue?" Qin Xue scrutinized Xu Xiangbei with a look of judgment.

"Where’s the trap? They’re the ones too greedy, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Do you know what their terms were?" Xu Xiangbei chuckled, multitasking as he quickly overtook the car ahead, leaving a solitary car shadow to the world.

"What were their terms?" At this point, Qin Xue seemed interested.

"They said if I didn’t let you on my car, they’d have your sister, Guo, accompany them for a night. Now you know how greedy they are?"

Li Jun in my heart is priceless, akin to the bright moon in the sky. To be admired from a distance, not to be played with!"

Xu Xiangbei continued to accelerate, watching the yellow sports car ahead grow closer, his face revealing a mischievous smile.

"You really can’t expect any wisdom from a dog, but you did say something right. Sister Guo truly is priceless. But what about admiring from afar, not being played with? Isn’t this from Zhou Dunyi’s ’On the Love of Lotus’? It’s about the purity of lotus emerging unstained from mud, why did you compare it to the bright moon? Totally unrelated!" Qin Xue mocked with a face of ridicule.

Xu Xiangbei awkwardly laughed: "I didn’t go to college, I dropped out of high school, my knowledge is limited, not competent enough, but it’s all the same!

Ancients often used the moon as a metaphor for longing, isn’t it a beautiful analogy? Why be so nitpicky, twisting words like that!"

"Without eloquence, don’t pretend. You’re totally barking up the wrong tree."

Guo Lijun listened to them praising her, with a faint smile on her face and a hint of blush, feeling sweet inside.

For some reason, though she was often praised before, it never felt remarkable, but Xu Xiangbei’s compliments made her feel really comfortable.

Speaking of Zhao Changfa, he was sweating profusely in the front, watching the silver Porsche draw closer and closer from behind. His body trembled, unlike Zhou Bapi who had a strong physique,

Having never practiced martial arts, he was even less than a chick in Xu Xiangbei’s hands? Not daring to imagine being caught by Xu, Zhao Changfa excessively accelerated.

Several times he nearly crashed into others’ cars, but fortunately his driving was quite good, narrowly avoiding collisions multiple times.

Once, he even grazed another vehicle, cutting into its lane unintentionally, fleeing before the other driver could engage him, making him even more of a startled bird.

"You clearly can catch up to him, why do it this way?" Qin Xue watched beside, frustrated! Xu Xiangbei’s car was so close to Zhao Changfa, about to catch up, but intentionally slowing down, only speeding up after Zhao fled a bit.

"Don’t you think it resembles a hawk catching a chick? I just want to see how capable he is!" Xu Xiangbei had an expression of assured victory, his powerful control and unwavering demeanor.

The two girls beside him watched in confusion, briefly ensnared.

Finally, Zhao Changfa couldn’t handle the pressure, the scene of walking on a tightrope shattered him.

He directly pulled over, opened the door, sat on the ground, panting heavily.

Xu Xiangbei saw his actions, faintly smiling while driving the silver Porsche straight at him, speeding up rather than slowing down. This terrified Zhao Changfa into paleness, wanting to flee, but realizing it was too late.

"Do you want to murder someone!" Qin Xue’s face was full of terror, shouting anxiously.

"Brake! Brake! Xu Xiangbei, or you’ll crash!" Guo Lijun’s face also changed, continuously urging.

Xu Xiangbei made no move, still accelerating, with a faint smile: "Relax, trust my skills!"

As he finished speaking, the car was only five meters away from Zhao Changfa, a distance where even a driving god couldn’t stop.

"Ah..." Qin Xue screamed, face pale as she imagined the ensuing scene, picturing Xu Xiangbei’s future in prison.

Guo Lijun tightly shut her eyes, afraid the next moment would be a bloody scene right before her.
