"Sorry about that, I went into the wrong room. Um... this meal is on me, my treat!" Baldy President Wu was no fool. He knew that in a situation like this, if he still couldn't figure out which way the wind was blowing, he'd be waiting for his own funeral!
A man even Li Cihua couldn't afford to offend — what standing did a baldy President Wu have to dare provoke him?
"All right, you'd better get going, don't disturb our meal!" Mama Tang waved her hand, borrowing the tiger's ferocity to play the fox, signaling that baldy President Wu could leave now. She was feeling mighty pleased with herself. Not convinced? Go on, bring your men! So what? Weren't they scared off by my son-in-law all the same?
And what of Li Cihua? A man of great renown in Songshan City, a figure of legend in Mama Tang's eyes not so long ago — and now he looked like nothing but a coward! Mama Tang thought to herself that she'd be one of Songshan City's elite from now on; even Li Cihua was no match for her!
Baldy President Wu hurriedly turned and left. Once out the door, he slunk back to his own table, thoroughly humiliated.
"President Wu, what was that all about just now? How come Brother Cihua came and left right away?" Xiaoli hadn't gone along earlier and still didn't understand the situation.
"Don't even mention it! We're in trouble this time — ran into some big shot even Brother Cihua doesn't dare cross. Best to just take our lumps!" Baldy President Wu was at least a realist; knowing he was outmatched, he didn't try to put up a front: "Waiter!"
The waiter hurried over. They'd seen the commotion baldy President Wu had kicked up earlier, but since neither party involved had said anything about it, they weren't about to stir up trouble.
"Sir, may I help you with something?" the waiter asked quickly.
"That private room's bill — put it on my tab!" Baldy President Wu pointed toward Wei Zhao's private room, then said to the waiter.
The waiter was taken aback. Earlier, baldy President Wu had clearly gone to that private room looking for trouble — so why was he now offering to pay their bill? But whatever was going on, it was none of his business. Startled as he was, he quickly nodded: "Certainly, sir!"
Only after the waiter had gone did baldy President Wu breathe a sigh of relief: "Damn it, if I'd known the people in that room were this formidable, I'd never have gone looking for trouble. Isn't this just asking for it for no reason!"
"What?" Xiaoli's spirits sank at once. Someone even Li Cihua couldn't afford to offend — what did they have to provoke him with? But now she was a little frightened: "President Wu, they won't come after us, will they?"
"They shouldn't. We're small fry. If he's after anyone, it's Li Cihua. They don't even know who we are!" Baldy President Wu was taking it philosophically.
"I think we'd better get out of here fast, not stay around. What if they come out in a bit and see us still here — what if they give us trouble?" Xiaoli was still worried.
"If we leave, who's going to pay their bill?" Baldy President Wu said. "I was very sincere just now, and they didn't come down on me. Clearly they don't consider me worth their attention at all, so there's nothing to fear. Let's just keep eating!"
How could Xiaoli possibly eat? After a few sips of her drink, she just sat in her seat waiting for Wei Zhao and the others to finish. Baldy President Wu was the same, sitting on pins and needles, just waiting for Wei Zhao and company to hurry up and finish...
Li Cihua got into his car the moment he stepped outside and headed straight for the hospital. Su Jiaonang naturally knew who Wei Zhao was, and also knew that it was because of this man that Li Cihua and Young Master Bing had been in a towering rage these past few days.
"Brother Cihua, are we really going to get him the silver needle? Doesn't that just weaken our position?" Su Jiaonang hadn't expected Li Cihua to actually go retrieve the silver needle.
