Chapter 95: Are You Handsome or Just Asking for a Slap?
After hanging up the phone, Bai Shishi gave Lin Tian a slight smile, "You really are a sly one!"
Lin Tian laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, since I’m passing the message anyway, might as well add a few more words!"
"You’re something else!" Bai Shishi changed the topic, "Have you eaten enough?"
"I’m full!" Lin Tian burped.
"Then let’s go. I don’t feel like eating anymore!" Bai Shishi’s mood for eating at a street stall tonight was completely ruined by Optimus Prime.
At this moment, there was no desire to continue eating.
"Mm!" Lin Tian nodded.
Bai Shishi settled the bill, and the two got into the car and went home.
Meanwhile, Optimus Prime took a cab to find his big brother, Du Dahai.
At that moment, Du Dahai was enjoying a massage from a young girl at an entertainment club.
"Big brother, someone is here to see you!" A young man dressed in all white came up to Du Dahai and said.
Du Dahai lazily opened his eyes, "Who?"
"Optimus Prime, a subordinate of the Four Associations’ president!"
"What’s the matter?" Du Dahai frowned. Why would a subordinate of the president come to find him?
"He said Bai Shishi sent him to deliver a message!"
Upon hearing Bai Shishi’s name, Du Dahai nodded, "Let him in!"
Optimus Prime, with a bruised face, walked into the room, saw Du Dahai lying on a bed enjoying a massage, and walked over quickly.
"Brother Hai!" Optimus Prime greeted respectfully.
"Hmm?" Hearing the title used by Optimus Prime, Du Dahai frowned with evident displeasure.
Optimus Prime quickly corrected himself, "Mr. Du!"
It didn’t seem appropriate for someone of Optimus Prime’s standing to address Du Dahai as brother.
After all, there was a significant hierarchy gap, and in Du Dahai’s eyes, Optimus Prime was just a pawn.
How could such a lowly character dare to call him brother?
"What message did Bai Shishi have you deliver?"
"How did you run into Bai Shishi?"
"What’s with your injuries?"
Du Dahai threw out three questions at once, waiting for Optimus Prime to answer.
"Tonight, I was having barbecue with the boys and ran into Bai Shishi, and she just beat me up without a word!"
Optimus Prime played a little trick, deliberately making himself sound very wronged.
Hoping Du Dahai would back him up!
"The injuries on my body were all her doing, and she told me to tell Mr. Du not to sneak around doing things behind her back. If he was unhappy with her, he could challenge her directly!"
After saying that, Optimus Prime hung his head, not daring to look Du Dahai in the eye.
"Bang!" Du Dahai, in his anger, smashed the teacup in front of him onto the ground.
"Damn you, Bai Shishi, being so arrogant, not putting me Du Dahai in your eyes at all!"
"Do you really think your Xianglong Tea House is so great?"
Du Dahai went on another tirade, scaring the massage girl into halting her efforts.
"Mr. Du, Bai Shishi told me to pass on that message, but I also overheard her talking with a young man!" Optimus Prime, seizing the opportunity for merit, chimed in.
"Speak!"
"It seemed to be a subordinate of Bai Shishi who suddenly mentioned model student Lin Tian, and then Bai Shishi scolded him harshly, saying not to expose their trump card carelessly in front of outsiders!"
"Model student!" Those four words made Du Dahai’s heart skip a beat.
Who exactly was this unknown enemy?
Optimus Prime continued, "They also said that Mr. Lin Tian is of noble status, nothing like Du Dahai..."
Optimus Prime suddenly choked, not knowing how to proceed—the next part was unkind.
"Continue!" A man like Du Dahai, who had weathered many storms, naturally understood why Optimus Prime choked.
"Said he’s nothing like a petty thug like Du Dahai in society!"
"Damn!" Even though Du Dahai was mentally prepared, he was still enraged enough to jump up from the bed.
"Fuck!" Du Dahai stuck a cigarette in his mouth, "Bai Shishi, you wicked woman, I’ll make you pay!"
"Brother Hai, don’t get angry. The enemy is in the dark, and we’re in the light. Until we figure out who this model student is, don’t act rashly!"
"Maybe Bai Shishi just wants to provoke you!"
The young man in white whispered into Du Dahai’s ear.
"First Da Xiong’s place was trashed by Bai Shishi’s subordinate Mei Ruyan, and now our people are beaten by her!"
"I can’t swallow this!" Du Dahai took a savage drag from his cigarette.
Having been a dropout at a young age and living in the underworld, Du Dahai despised when others referred to him as a petty thug.
Although he had risen to become a big brother, he was still, in essence, a hoodlum.
So, Du Dahai was desperately trying to clean up his act, desperately seeking status.
But being called a petty thug was undoubtedly a deep wound to Du Dahai’s heart.
"Brother Hai, I think this matter isn’t as simple as it seems. First, with Bai Shishi’s status, why trouble such a small fry?" The young man in white whispered into Du Dahai’s ear.
"If Brother Hai were eating and ran into a small fry from Bai Shishi’s side, would you beat them up for no reason?"
"Hmm?" Suddenly, half of Du Dahai’s anger subsided, restoring his calm.
At a high level, with a different perspective, naturally, he wouldn’t care about small fry, unless those small fry did something infuriating.
Bai Shishi and Du Dahai were both top bosses.
So their understanding in this aspect should be the same.
Therefore, Optimus Prime must be hiding some things.
"Come here!" Du Dahai beckoned Optimus Prime over.
"Huh?" Seeing this, Optimus Prime, bending at the waist, walked over swiftly.
"You just said you wanted me to back you up, right?" Du Dahai asked.
"Yes, Bai Shishi that woman beat up more than ten of us, the brothers are all hoping Mr. Du will stand up for us!"
Saying this, Optimus Prime’s eyes glanced to the side, not daring to meet Du Dahai’s gaze.
"Look me in the eye, and say it again!" Du Dahai lifted Optimus Prime’s chin with his hand, making eye contact.
A person’s eyes are the window to the soul, no matter how flawless the lie.
But a person’s eyes will still betray the lie.
Furtive eyes, that’s just the reason.
Fearful glances flickered in Optimus Prime’s eyes, but he still calmly said, "Bai Shishi that woman hurt us..."
"Slap!"
This time, before Optimus Prime could finish, Du Dahai gave him a hard slap on his already swollen face.
"Mr. Du!" Optimus Prime, frightened, quickly knelt on the ground.
"Pretty bold, daring to lie to me?" Du Dahai slipped on his slippers, standing next to Optimus Prime.
"Bai Shishi beat you up for no reason? Are you handsome or deserving of a slap?"
"What the hell are you, for Bai Shishi to bother teaching you a lesson?"
A series of questions left Optimus Prime speechless, not knowing how to answer.
"If you don’t want to die, tell me the truth, or I can’t guarantee the condition of your limbs!"
Hearing this, Optimus Prime continuously kowtowed to Du Dahai, "Mr. Du!"
"I... I was wrong!"
"I shouldn’t have lied to you!"
