Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 115 - 113: Give You Two Choices

With the right company, a thousand drinks are too few; with the wrong words, one word too many.

Tangyu and Xu Hu might well have been kindred spirits from first sight; it seemed as if they had become friends of many years in just a short time.

Tangyu had never really been part of the world, and it could be said that he didn’t have many friends. Having ventured out into society, of course, he needed some social interaction. At the company, Wang Dazhuang, Li Jie, and a few others were okay to mingle with. However, having spent some time with Xu Hu, Tangyu felt that Xu Hu was someone he could deeply connect with. He really admired his personality.

Before they knew it, they had boldly downed four shots of baijiu.

"Haha brother, today is truly a delightful drinking day; it’s been ages since I’ve drunk so happily. Without realizing it, we’ve already polished off two bottles of baijiu. Usually, I would be high by now, but today, meeting someone I like, I feel refreshed and not a bit drunk. Brother, you really can hold your liquor; it seems even better than mine. To have such an astonishing capacity at such a young age is truly admirable. It seems, brother, you are really extraordinary," Xu Hu laughed heartily.

Tangyu grinned and said, "Drinking delightfully naturally gives you a bigger appetite—it’s all about the joy of it for men, isn’t it?"

"Exactly, well put. Let’s go again—Today, brothers don’t go home sober," Xu Hu declared, reaching to open another bottle of liquor, but Tangyu stopped him: "Brother Hu, that’s enough; any more and I’ll be drunk. I still have to take three ladies home later; let’s call it a day now. In the future, we’ll definitely have a session where we drink till none of us can stand."

Xu Hu chuckled and retracted his hand, a suggestive twinkle in his eyes as he looked at Tangyu: "Haha, look at me, nearly forgot about that. Brother, you still have important tasks at hand. Can’t be careless now. Brother, these three beauties are not bad; you need to strive hard. If I were a few years younger, I’d be green with envy."

Tangyu touched his nose—all three ladies were indeed exceptional. Was he supposed to put in effort with all three of them? Momo and Feifei were okay, but Ya Ya was still a minor; wasn’t that a bit too guilt-inducing? However, it seemed like people nowadays quite enjoyed raising a "Lolita," so perhaps that wasn’t such a bad idea after all?

"Bang, bang!!"

Just then, a loud banging came from the door.

Xu Hu frowned slightly, at this time to be disrupted, it must be something important; he shouted toward the entrance: "What’s the matter?"

"Brother Hu, there’s trouble. That Director Gao and a few businessmen got drunk and barged into the private room of those three ladies just now; he’s insisting on—"

Xu Hu and Tangyu both sprang up at once; a sharp glint crossed through Tangyu’s eyes. Someone dared to mess with the women he fancied? He could tolerate even the Buddha but not this. A look of displeasure also crossed Xu Hu’s face as he spat out, "Scumbag, you’re really blind, lack even basic discernment, you really don’t know what death looks like."

Xu Hu and Tangyu quickly headed to the private room they had just visited, and, true enough, from a distance, they saw the door blockaded. Xu Hu’s four henchmen were staunchly blocking the door, stopping three red-faced, drunken middle-aged men from entering. Each of these men was burly and looked to be in their forties or fifties.

"Fuck, clear off, don’t ruin my fun, or I’ll have Xu Hu skin you. These pretty young things caught my eye, and it’s their good fortune," said a pot-bellied middle-aged man, slurring his words, his face red and reeking of alcohol.

"Director Gao, what has upset you so much?" Xu Hu walked over.

The one called Director Gao was Gao Mingsheng, the Vice Director of the Donglin District Sanitation Bureau. Although he was the least powerful among the vice directors, he still had actual authority. Xu Hu’s businesses included food and beverage services, which relied heavily on the Sanitation Bureau for operation licenses.

Therefore, Director Gao was one person Xu Hu did not want to offend. Each visit required meticulous attention. Whenever Gao got drunk, he liked to cause a scene here, and Xu Hu had long taken a disliking to him. But he had no choice and had to continue pandering to him.

Picking on this Bodhisattva meant that if he brought his people here to inspect every so often, finding fault even in negligible issues, there was nothing Xu Hu could do about it. The Sanitation Bureau had the power to shut down Xu Hu’s businesses for rectifications.

Moreover, Gao Mingsheng was specifically in charge of this area. Essentially, any shop wanting to operate here had to worship him like a Bodhisavttva. Gao loved drinking and women, enjoyed singing karaoke, and liked engaging with women in KTVs, hence he often frequented Xu Hu’s place.

If it had been a normal day, Xu Hu could have arranged for a couple of girls to satisfy Gao Mingsheng, but today was indeed an exceptional case.

Gao Mingsheng glanced at Xu Hu and snorted angrily, "Nice going, Xu Hu, haven’t seen you all day, thought you were dead. I patronize your shoddy place, and you can’t even come say hello. Now you’re successful enough not to keep this director in your eyes, isn’t it?"

Gao Mingsheng started off with making Xu Hu lose face, clearly trying to put him in his place right from the start.

Having been in the underworld for so many years, Xu Hu was neither lacking in perception nor intelligence. He knew Gao Mingsheng was rabid today, and wouldn’t stop without causing trouble. Xu Hu sneered inwardly, truly oblivious of how death comes, even daring to target these three beauties; he truly wouldn’t know how he might die eventually.

Nevertheless, this might be a good opportunity for him to seriously deal with him. Xu Hu glanced at the three women, Guo Momo included, in the private room. It was apparent that all of them were displeased, even somewhat angry.

"Look, Chief Gao, what you say - you honor us with your presence. How could I dare not to entertain you properly? I just got back from outside, you see. No sooner had I returned than I rushed over here. My boys don’t quite know any better. You’re a forgiving man, Chief Gao, please overlook this. It seems you’ve nearly had enough to drink. Why not go to my place for a foot wash and a massage? I’ve recently got some nice new girls, would you like to try them out?" Xu Hu said.

"Fuck, go to hell. I’m not interested in your shitty goods today. Today I’ve set my sights on these three beauties, don’t talk to me about anything else that’s useless. What about guests, what about students? I’ve never failed to get the girls I want. With their looks, aren’t they just meant for playing? How much for a virgin? Not enough at ten thousand? I’ll give twenty thousand each. Anyway, sort this out for me now or don’t bother running this place anymore," Gao Mingsheng cursed, glaring furiously at Xu Hu, pointing at his nose unmercifully.

He was clearly acting as if he had Xu Hu under his thumb.

Tangyu was getting very upset, moving forward but was stopped by Xu Hu.

Xu Hu too looked quite displeased and said, "Chief Gao, why make things difficult for these young girls? They are genuinely guests. This would not reflect well on you if word got out. Let’s just leave it and drop the matter. I’ll make sure you are satisfied, Chief Gao."

"Fuck, are you deaf or did your head get squeezed by a door? Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I don’t care about anything else today. If you can’t handle this, you, Xu Hu, might as well forget about mixing in here anymore. It’s that simple. Got it now?" Gao Mingsheng angrily said.

"Hmph, Gao Mingsheng, I call you chief out of respect. Don’t get too full of yourself. This is my territory, and I won’t let you mess around. Stop fucking pointing at my nose and talking. Think you can mess with me? I’ve been on the streets for decades; I’ve seen all the big storms. Try to screw with me, and I’ll screw your entire family. You dare shut down my place, I dare to rape your daughter. Fuck, what are you exactly? Don’t take it if face is given; do you really think I’m your lackey?" Xu Hu also really lost his temper, originally wanting to keep things quiet and small, not wanting to escalate the situation.

After all, escalating would not be good for either party’s reputation. Especially for those three beauties, their reputation couldn’t afford to be impacted.

Stunned by Xu Hu’s scolding, Gao Mingsheng was briefly taken aback and somewhat silenced.

But quickly, he became even more enraged, his eyes bulging with fury as he glared at Xu Hu, "Fine, you, Xu Hu, dare talk to me like this. Fine then, let’s see who can outplay whom. Hmph, even if you came crawling to me in the future, I wouldn’t care about you," he said.

Having said that, Gao Mingsheng was about to storm off but was stopped by a figure, it was Tangyu.

"Where did this kid come from, get lost," Gao Mingsheng was already furious, used to Xu Hu’s complete respect and flattery, and now Xu Hu dared to disrespect him. Now, a young man blocking his way made him even more upset.

"Hmph, you dare to insult my friend and think you can just walk away easily? Do you think everyone’s dignity is as cheap as yours?" Tangyu said coolly.

"Who the hell are you? Xu Hu, get your dog out of my way," Gao Mingsheng raged endlessly.

Xu Hu chuckled coldly, "He’s my brother. If he wants to settle scores with you, whose side do you think I’m going to take?"

"You—" Gao Mingsheng was choked with rage, somewhat sobered by the alcohol, and he could see the situation clearly. If Xu Hu really turned harsh, crippling him would be as easy as playing.

Xu Hu dared to speak to him in that tone, Gao Mingsheng didn’t doubt that Xu Hu would lay hands on him. Those who mixed in the underbelly, once they turned fierce, were indeed terrifying. Xu Hu was a known tough character, Gao Mingsheng was very aware of this. Only, such a rapid and large change, he wasn’t able to accept it just yet.

Really pushing Xu Hu too far was indeed not something he dared do.

If Xu Hu really stopped caring about everything, then he too shouldn’t provoke him; otherwise, it’d be akin to seeking death.

"Very well, I see it clearly now. Fine, Xu Hu, you want to turn against me, do you? Very well, I’ll make sure to repay you double for today’s incident," Gao Mingsheng pointed at Xu Hu and said, turning to Tangyu, "What about you? What do you want to do?"

"You have two choices: first, apologize sincerely to my friend and take back what you said earlier. Second, I will beat you until you do apologize," Tangyu said.

Such a tone nearly made Gao Mingsheng explode. After all, he was the deputy chief of a bureau, a noteworthy figure in Donglin City. One could often see him in the city’s news.

But now, he had been insulted back-to-back, how could he stand it? Where could he put his face? Apologize? When had he ever had to apologize to someone? If there were ever a need, it would only be to his own superiors.
