"Yes, that household's master is quite formidable, and very influential! Hero, you must be careful — that master shields his own people fiercely, and I fear you may be no match for him!" Xiao Ben said.
"Shielding his own still requires him to give me an explanation!" Er Gou Dan said furiously. "And if they dare to shield anyone, I will kill them all with a single punch of mine!"
"Mm... then, hero, you will have rid the people of a scourge!" Xiao Ben smiled faintly. "That family runs roughshod over this villa district; they have earned the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men. If you can beat them to death, everyone will thank you for it!"
"Tell me the address, and I will go and have a look at them right now!" Er Gou Dan was no fool, but he was simple-hearted by nature; whatever Xiao Ben said, he believed — otherwise Yu Xiaoke could never have tricked him out of every last coin he carried.
"Come, hero, let me see you out, and point the way for you while I am at it!" Xiao Ben made a gesture of invitation, speaking to Er Gou Dan with utmost deference.
Er Gou Dan left the Xiao family villa and, following the direction Xiao Ben had indicated, trotted the whole way toward the Gu family villa.
And watching Er Gou Dan's receding figure, the whole Xiao family broke into hearty laughter.
"Second Brother, you really are something — sending a formidable creature like that to make trouble for the Gu family. I doubt even Wei Zhao is his match!" Xiao Ji gave a thumbs-up in admiration and spoke cheerfully.
"Of course he is no match for him!" Xiao Ben laughed. "Best if their clash turns fierce in a moment, and Wei Zhao is beaten to death — then our next step can be to swallow up the Gu family's company!"
The Xiao family had long coveted Gu Pengzhan's holdings; their failure to lay hands on them last time had become a sickness in their hearts. Now, with the Pi family's backing, the Xiao family naturally wished to recover their face, but they had never found the opportunity. Now that Er Gou Dan had kicked up this fuss, even if Wei Zhao did not die, he would surely be gravely wounded — and then it would be time to move against the Gu family.
"Second Brother, brilliant!" Xiao Ji nodded. "By the way, those two experts of the Pi family..."
"Elder Brother, if you had not mentioned them, I would nearly have forgotten — get them to the hospital at once! We cannot have anything happen to them; they are the Xiao family's support!" With that, Xiao Ben turned and ran back into the villa. The two experts of the Pi family might be no match for Er Gou Dan, but against the other great families they were more than enough.
So Xiao Ji hurriedly dialed the emergency number and called for an ambulance.
Er Gou Dan ran all the way to the gate of the Gu family villa, and sure enough, at one glance he saw a lion and a dog lying on the lawn of the villa's courtyard; the dog seemed to be training the lion, making it leap up and down.
This dog was indeed no simple creature! Er Gou Dan glanced at it. Though he could not yet tell what its strength was, it clearly had to be considerable — otherwise a lion could never be so utterly obedient. Er Gou Dan had grown up in a mountain village and often went up the hills to hunt, so he knew the ways of animals; for a lion to fear a dog meant something was wrong!
And not far from this dog and lion stood two pretty girls, one tall and slender, the other a little fuller of figure; the fuller one was gesturing at the dog, directing it, as if telling it the training plan for the lion.
Seeing two unspeakably pretty girls, Er Gou Dan's face reddened at once. How was it that the girls in the city were prettier one after another? But he only took one look before shifting his gaze away — do not look upon what is improper; so Er Gou Dan's old father had taught him.
