"Before, I thought the Family Head hadn’t heard that shout, but now it seems I overthought it! He did hear it!"

While muttering this, he quickly put on a fawning smile, "Family Head! You’re here!"

Cao Meng glanced at the sycophantic Cao Yan, then directly raised his hand and gave him a hard slap in front of everyone.

This unapologetic slap made Cao Yan spin in place three times.

After spinning three times, Cao Yan stared dumbly at Cao Meng.

In fact, it wasn’t just Cao Yan who was stunned; many people present were dumbfounded.

Because they knew that Cao Yan was someone whom Cao Meng had personally promoted and was considered his closest confidant.

Therefore, they thought Cao Meng wouldn’t possibly slap him in front of everyone, as that would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

But he did just that!

"Family Head, this..."

Cao Yan looked at Cao Meng blankly.

He had all sorts of questions but couldn’t voice them because his mind was completely blank.

Cao Meng looked at Cao Yan’s gradually swelling face and said coldly, "I previously made you the head of security to protect our family, and what did you do? You let someone scream at our doorstep! What do you intend to do? Tell me, what do you really intend to do? If you don’t want the job, then get out."

Cao Meng got angrier as he spoke!

He was really angry now...

Because Hu Xiaobei had the audacity to come right to their door.

He knew that it wasn’t entirely Cao Yan’s fault, but he needed a scapegoat at that moment.

And Cao Yan, conveniently standing there, fit the bill perfectly.

"Family Head... I..."

Cao Yan looked at Cao Meng, wanting to explain, but was immediately cut off.

"Shut up and stand to the side quietly!"

"Yes!"

Upon agreeing, Cao Yan touched his face.

At this moment, he was really cursing those three subordinates because it was thanks to them that he got slapped so hard.

Cao Meng was unaware of what was running through Cao Yan’s head as he squinted and looked towards Hu Xiaobei...

He was surprised to see that Hu Xiaobei was only accompanied by Lin Ya...

"Hu Xiaobei, I didn’t expect you to come looking for me with just one person by your side. Looks like you’ve never experienced death, huh!"

Previously, he was worried that Hu Xiaobei might bring a lot of people, but now he knew otherwise.

With that realization, he completely relaxed...

"Even if I’m alone, I’d dare to come. Why? Is this place some dragon’s lair or tiger’s den?"

Glancing at Cao Meng, Hu Xiaobei chuckled softly...

Hu Xiaobei was really at ease because from start to finish, he believed that victory would definitely belong to him. After all, Cao Meng was nothing but trash.

"You’ll soon know that this place is indeed a dragon’s lair and tiger’s den!"

After saying this, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "By the way, Hu Xiaobei, I’m short on cash. I wonder if you have any money you could lend me."

Glancing at him, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Of course! But if you want to borrow money, you’ll need collateral. What do you plan to use as collateral?"

"Collateral? That’s simple! How much can your life be pawned for?"

"A whole lot, but the question is, do you dare to take it!"

"Not dare? On my turf, is there anything I wouldn’t dare to do?"

With a cold laugh, he directly shouted, "Cao Yan!"

Cao Yan, who was touching his swollen face, responded quickly and appeared in front of Cao Meng.

"Family Head! What are your orders?"

Giving Cao Yan a glance, Cao Meng asked calmly, "What should be done to someone disrespectful to me?"

"Capture him!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Cao Meng looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "If that’s the case, what are you waiting for? Capture him for me!"

"Yes! I’ll make my move right away!"

Excitedly agreeing, Cao Yan turned his head and looked at Hu Xiaobei with enthusiasm.

He knew that part of the reason he was slapped was because of him, so now he really wanted to take revenge.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei so nonchalant, he sneered, "I’ll soon make you regret this!"

After saying this, he clapped his hands lightly.

After clapping, he saw seven or eight people quickly approaching.

Smiling with satisfaction, Cao Yan arrogantly looked at Hu Xiaobei, "Kneel down and apologize to our Family Head now, and I might let you suffer less. Otherwise, I guarantee you’ll meet a terrible fate."

Upon hearing Cao Yan’s threat, Hu Xiaobei shrugged and said casually, "Sorry! My knees can’t bend, so I can’t kneel!"

"Can’t kneel? I’ll cure you of that ailment in no time and make you kneel!"

Saying this with a sneer, Cao Yan looked at those seven or eight people and said coldly, "What are you waiting for? Go teach him a lesson."

"Yes!"

They responded and quickly charged towards Hu Xiaobei.

At that moment, they moved swiftly, but in reality, they were a bit nervous.

Because they’d seen the wretched state of those three before.

They knew that if it were one-on-one, their strength was about the same as those three.

So now they really had to be careful, otherwise, they could truly stumble badly.

Everyone was watching, so if they did stumble, they’d die of embarrassment.

"Some people just have to see the coffin before they shed tears!"

Seeing them encircle him, Hu Xiaobei shook his head lightly...

Lin Ya, standing beside Hu Xiaobei, also shook her head lightly. She thought the same as Hu Xiaobei.

In her view, it would be best if these people didn’t come closer because the gap was too wide.

While Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ya were thinking, they took the initiative to make their move...

Having long planned their strategy, they attacked together in that instant.

Normal people couldn’t recover from such an attack.

But unfortunately, they weren’t facing ordinary people, so this seemingly crazy attack didn’t have much intimidation.

In just over ten seconds, they were all knocked to the ground.

Clapping his hands lightly, Hu Xiaobei looked at Cao Meng and said, "Are there any slightly stronger ones? These guys are too weak; I haven’t even started warming up, and they’re all down."

"Damn it!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s taunt, countless expletives galloped through Cao Meng’s mind.

He really wanted to curse back furiously, but he didn’t dare, because the strength Hu Xiaobei showed was truly intimidating.

He knew he could beat those underlings, but not with such ease and grace.

"No wonder you dared to come here. Turns out you really have some skills!"

Muttering to himself, he looked at Cao Yan and said, "What are you still standing around for? Go!"

"Me?"

Upon hearing such an order, Cao Yan looked at Cao Meng with a bitter face.

Cao Yan was self-aware and knew that going now was meaningless...

Because Hu Xiaobei’s strength appeared truly intimidating...
