<h4>Chapter 1401: Chapter 1709: Who’s the Dog? (2)</h4>


    Shao An pointed at the foreign friends, displeased, and said, "Don’t you have a lot of subordinates? Teach these bastards a lesson for me and show them how powerful I am."


    "That’s not a good idea." Zhao Zhengxiong looked troubled and said, "Once inside, everyone is my guest, and I can’t be biased towards anyone. Besides, it’s better to resolve enmity than to deepen it; there’s no need to blow things out of proportion. President Shao, please do me a favor and let it go. All the expenses tonight will be on me; let’s consider it as my treat. What do you say?"


    Shao An originally intended to show off in front of Leng Feifei, but he didn’t expect Zhao Zhengxiong to refuse, which made him furious and embarrassed. Suddenly, Shao An pointed at Zhao Zhengxiong’s nose and cursed, "Give you face? Who do you think you are to make me give you face! Don’t think that just because I call you Mr. Zhao, you are someone important. In my eyes, you are not even qualified to be my dog. Hmph! Do you think I care about this little bit of drinking money? Let me tell you, I am not short of money." Saying this, Shao An took out a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and threw them in Zhao Zhengxiong’s face.


    When themotion started, the whole nightclub’s attention was drawn here. At this moment, seeing Shao An’s actions, everyone fell silent, even the DJ paused the music. The entire nightclub became extremely quiet, with only the sound of everyone’s breathing rising and falling.


    Zhao Zhengxiong rubbed his somewhat pained cheek, but still maintained a smile. However, those who knew him well understood that this was a cold smile, indicating he was genuinely angry.


    "President Shao, no one in the whole of East Sea City has ever dared to treat me like this; you are the first." Zhao Zhengxiong said indifferently.


    "So...so what?" Shao An asked. At this point, he sensed something was amiss, especially the looks from the onlookers outside, as if they were looking at a dead man, which made him feel uneasy.


    "Not much." Before Zhao Zhengxiong could speak, Ling Chen smiled and took over the conversation, saying, "I’m a civilized person and don’t like violence. However, Xiong is my brother. If you mess with my brother, you’re messing with me. If I don’t do something, wouldn’t that make us look ipetent? Don’t you agree?"


    Shao An sized up Ling Chen and said disdainfully, "Just you? Hmph! I know you have a lot of people, but so what? Do you dare to touch a hair on me? I’ll make you spend the rest of your life in prison."


    "Don’t worry, I just said, I’m a civilized person, not fond of fighting and killing. By the way, what did you just say? My brother isn’t even qualified to be your dog? Is that correct?"


    "I said it."


    "Very good." Ling Chen nodded and took out his cellphone, dialing a number.


    "Hello! Dong Ying, sorry to disturb you sote. I’ve heard of a Shao Group in Beijing, do you know it? Yes, that’s right, tell the chairman of Shao Group that his son is here with me, and he just told me I’m not even qualified to be his dog. Do you get what I mean? Okay, I’ll hang up now." After speaking, Ling Chen ended the call and looked at Shao An with a smile, saying, "I hope you continue to stick with what you just said."


    Shao An opened his mouth and said, "I didn’t say that you..."


    Ling Chen responded coldly, "He’s my brother. Do you know what brotherhood means? Brothers are like limbs; insulting him is the same as insulting me."


    Upon hearing this, others didn’t feel much, but Zhao Zhengxiong was immensely touched.


    In less than two minutes, Shao An’s phone rang. He took out his phone and upon seeing the caller ID on the screen, his expression changed slightly. He nced at Ling Chen nearby, then turned around and answered the call.


    "Hello! Dad, I..."


    Before Shao An finished speaking, a torrent of cursing came from the other end of the line, clear enough that even the surrounding people could hear it. After a while, Shao An shakily hung up his phone, looking pale as he looked at Ling Chen and Zhao Zhengxiong.


    "That... Mr. Ling..." Shao An swallowed hard, trying to squeeze out a smile, and said, "Mr. Ling, I didn’t recognize Mount Tai, please forgive my ignorance... I..."


    Ling Chen sneered and said, "Didn’t you just say that we’re not even qualified to be your dog?"


    "I... no, it’s not, I... I just..." Shao An was sweating profusely, stammering with no idea what to say. He initially thought Ling Chen and Zhao Zhengxiong were merely thugs, but his father’s call just now nearly scared him to death.


    Ling Chen! The controller of some major power in Beijing, the one who reced Hong Wei. Offending him is tantamount to seeking death. Just now, his father had issued a stern ultimatum: if Shao An couldn’t earn Ling Chen’s forgiveness, then his father would have no choice but to cut ties with him.


    "Actually, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I just want to know, amongst the three of us, who is really the dog." Ling Chen said indifferently.


    Hearing this, Shao An’s heart moved. He quicklyy on the ground, crawling around Zhao Zhengxiong and Ling Chen like a dog, barking ’woof woof’ twice.


    "Mr. Ling, in front of you I am just a dog. Please, be merciful and spare me this time. I promise, there will not be a next time." At this moment, Shao An could no longer care about his face. Compared to his dignity, the safety of the Shao Group was far more important.


    "Good." Ling Chen nodded and said, "At least you’ve recognized your ce. Since that’s the case, I will give Shao Group some face and won’t make things difficult for you." After speaking, Ling Chen waved impatiently, "Go, don’t let me see you again."


    "Yes, yes!" Shao An, as if receiving a great pardon, hurriedly got up from the floor, leaving his subordinates behind and quickly ran towards the outside.


    As this farce came to an end, Zhao Zhengxiong gestured to the DJ on stage, who understood and vibrant music once again burst from the speakers. Soon, everyone forgot the conflict that had just urred, and they danced freely in the dance floor, burning with passion.


    "Thank you for your help," Leng Feifei said to Ling Chen.


    Ling Chen smiled slightly, "Don’t get me wrong, I was helping my brother this time."


    "Mr. Ling, you’re really amazing." Sofia, standing to the side, looked at Ling Chen with glowing eyes, as if discovering a new continent, examining him with great interest, her fiery gaze making Ling Chen a little ufortable.


    "Everyone, I’m really sorry for disturbing your pleasure. How about this, I’ll arrange another room for you and cover all the expenses tonight." With that, Zhao Zhengxiong immediately arranged for someone to vacate the room next door and moved Leng Feifei and the others there.


    "Chen, stay with your friends, I’m going to check on Qiu."


    Ling Chen nodded and said, "Okay, let me know when things are done on his side."
