Li Se did not expect to encounter this Brother Wu here. He quickly recalled that Brother Wu had mentioned being the president of a branch of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, so meeting him here was not surprising.
"Are you here to kneel and apologize for what happened today?" Li Se asked calmly.
Brother Wu was stunned by this. He clearly hadn't expected Li Se to dare speak so brazenly here.
"You impudent fool!" his female companion scolded. "Do you know where you are? Everyone here now belongs to the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. This place is equivalent to the territory of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. How dare you be so presumptuous here? I'm telling you, *you* are the one who should be kneeling. Get down on your knees and apologize to Brother Wu!"
The female companion's voice was loud, immediately drawing a lot of attention. People began to look over.
"No way, which branch is this guy from to dare be so disrespectful to President Wu?"
"President Wu is a president of our Chamber of Commerce's branch, after all. Where did this kid get such courage?"
"He probably doesn't even know President Wu's identity."
"I think so too. If he knew, how could he say such rebellious words?"
"..."
Many people were murmuring. They were all members of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, so how could they not know Brother Wu's identity?
The Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce spanned across Jiangbei, but there were actually only a handful of branch presidents. Therefore, as members of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, they could certainly recognize him. As for Li Se, he was too unfamiliar, likely just a follower, so they didn't think much of it.
"Kid, the fact that you're here means you're also part of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. Tell me, who is your direct superior?" Brother Wu said coldly.
"I don't have a direct superior," Li Se shook his head. "Either you kneel and apologize now, or you get beaten again. I was going to let today's matter slide, but you're deliberately provoking me, aren't you?"
"Pfft..." Many people couldn't help but laugh. Arrogant, this kid was truly arrogant to the extreme. Where did he even come from, not even recognizing a branch president?
"How bold!" the female companion shouted angrily.
Brother Wu sneered twice. He had feared being beaten by Li Se before, but could he be afraid now? This place was booked by the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. If Li Se dared to lay a hand on him, he would be doomed!
"Hit me? I actually didn't plan on kneeling today. Kid, not only that, but I'm going to have your woman today and make sure you leave here on a stretcher!" Brother Wu declared with immense authority.
"Are you sure?" Li Se narrowed his eyes.
Brother Wu smiled, then extended his head and patted his cheek provocatively. "Hit me if you dare. Hit me right here. If you have the guts, hit me. I want to see if you dare to do it!"
"Kid, which branch are you from? Hurry up and apologize to President Wu!" Old Gao reprimanded.
Li Se ignored them completely. Seeing Brother Wu extend his face like that, he found it incredibly amusing.
"You don't dare, do you?" Brother Wu, seeing that Li Se still hadn't moved, became extremely smug. "Since you know you don't dare, then get on your knees! I want you to kneel down immediately! Today, I will make sure you know that some people are beyond your reach in this lifetime. As for the beauty beside you, haha, I will treat her well. I will vent all my anger on her, haha!"
Brother Wu burst into wild laughter towards the end.
At this moment, many people also noticed Zhang Aimin, and couldn't help but swallow. She was truly beautiful and sexy, and mature. No man could resist such a woman.
"Did you hear that? Why aren't you doing as Brother Wu said? Are you really going to anger Brother Wu, can you afford to bear it?" the female companion sneered.
Li Se remained expressionless. Seeing that Brother Wu was about to retract his head, he raised his hand and slapped him.
*Slap!*
A crisp, piercing sound filled everyone's ears.
At this moment, everyone froze, simply unable to believe what they were seeing. After all, this place had been booked by the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce; for the time being, it was their territory.
But at this moment, a kid who appeared out of nowhere had actually struck a branch president of their Chamber of Commerce. This was serious!
In the entire Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, only the President of the General Chamber or the Young Master could strike someone like this directly. But if they were of such a high status, as members of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, how could they not know?
And they had genuinely never seen Li Se before, making them absolutely certain that if he belonged to the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, he must be a minor figure. If not, then it was tantamount to offending the entire Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce!
"It's over, it's over, he even dared to hit President Wu!"
"Did I see that wrong? He actually hit him?"
"A newborn calf fears no tiger. I don't know how he'll die later."
"That beauty has a good temperament, what a shame. She'll probably be taken by President Wu later."
"His whole family will probably be utterly destroyed."
"..."
Discussions erupted.
In everyone's opinion, Li Se was doomed. After all, he had slapped Brother Wu heavily right in front of everyone from the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. This one slap had already sealed Li Se's fate.
"Ahhh, you still dare to hit me?" Brother Wu was dumbfounded. He truly hadn't expected Li Se to dare hit him in such a setting. Was he crazy?
Old Gao also sucked in a cold breath. Where did this reckless youngster come from? He actually dared to hit someone? Even he, as a branch president, wouldn't dare to act like this. This kid wouldn't know how he'd die later.
"Didn't you ask me to hit you?" Li Se asked calmly.
Brother Wu was furious, roaring, "Guards, all of you, come here! Kill this kid!!"
As a branch president of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, Brother Wu naturally had many subordinates. A group of people immediately swarmed over, their faces fierce. A chamber of commerce like this often had a bit of a shady nature, so they were no strangers to fighting.
"Kill him!" Brother Wu roared.
This group consisted of about ten people. They all rushed towards Li Se, surrounding him instantly, but they hadn't made their move yet.
"Kid, if I don't peel your skin off today, I won't be called Wu!"
Brother Wu grabbed a stick, shook his head, and coldly shouted, "Get out of the way!"
A path was immediately cleared, but Li Se was still surrounded by these people, with no chance to escape.
Brother Wu's face contorted with cruelty as he walked towards Li Se step by step, waving the stick and grinning sinisterly, "I'll make your head explode!"
Li Se remained calm and replied, "You can try."
