"Liu Qianze recognized the newcomer and said to Qin Xiaodong, 'He's Chen Fan's friend, the underground king of Jiangcheng, Big Bear!'"
The person who arrived was indeed Big Bear. Liu Qianze could never forget him. He clearly remembered that it was this Big Bear who had slapped him in public, causing him to lose face in front of many people.
Although they knew the underground forces in South China had changed, Big Bear's identity had not yet been officially announced. Therefore, these people clearly did not know Big Bear's true current status.
"How dare you, a mere underground leader of Jiangcheng, trespass into the Qin family! Even Ma Peng of South China is waiting outside at this very moment," Qin Xiaodong shouted angrily, pointing at Big Bear.
"Ma Peng? Young Master Qin, that person is a thing of the past," Big Bear said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Qin Xiaodong frowned slightly.
The old man who had tried to stop Big Bear earlier suddenly spoke, "Young Master, Ma Peng was long ago replaced by Big Bear. He is now the underground leader of South China Province."
As the Qin family's butler, he knew a thing or two about the underworld.
"What? You're saying he's now the underground leader of South China Province?!" Qin Xiaodong exclaimed in shock.
Liu Qianze, standing beside him, gaped in disbelief.
He knew that the underground leader of South China Province held a status and position comparable to his father, Liu Zhijun.
Big Bear had been following Chen Fan. If Big Bear was the underground leader, then what was Chen Fan's identity?
Thinking of this, Liu Qianze's expression immediately turned grim.
Big Bear ignored the surprised looks of those around him and strode up to Chen Fan. To everyone's even greater astonishment, he respectfully addressed Chen Fan, "Brother Fan!"
Brother Fan?
Everyone was stunned. The most surprised were undoubtedly Qin Xiaotong and Qin Xiaodong. They never expected that Big Bear, the underground leader of South China, would be so respectful to Chen Fan.
Qin Xiaotong couldn't help but ask, "Are you mistaken? He's just a bastard son born to his mother and another man. How can you be so respectful to him?"
This remark instantly caused Big Bear's expression to darken. His icy gaze fell upon Qin Xiaotong.
"What did you just say?" Big Bear asked coldly.
Qin Xiaotong, thinking Big Bear was unaware, smiled smugly at Chen Fan and repeated, "Big Bear, you might not know yet, he is his mother's... with another man."
"Slap!"
Before Qin Xiaotong could finish speaking, Big Bear raised his hand and slapped her across the face!
"Ah!"
A scream rang out.
With Big Bear's strength, especially when enraged, this slap sent Qin Xiaotong to the ground. Her mouth was askew, blood continuously flowed, and her cheek swelled up, the bright red handprint a stark contrast.
Qin Xiaotong was stunned. Even now, her ears were ringing, and a trickle of blood was flowing from them.
"Big Bear! How dare you commit violence in our Qin family! You have a lot of nerve!" Qin Hongwei roared, seeing his daughter being hit.
"Her mouth is too dirty. Your Qin family's upbringing is poor, so I'll discipline her for you." Having weathered many storms, Big Bear was naturally not intimidated by Qin Hongwei's imposing presence.
"You, a mere underground leader, are you fit to discipline our Qin family's juniors?!" Qin Hongwei was furious. Big Bear's actions were a direct slap in his face in front of everyone.
Zeng Wanrou's hostility remained directed at Qin Shuran, "Qin Shuran, what exactly do you mean? First, you put the Qin family in this predicament, and now you're letting Chen Fan bring people to cause trouble at the Qin family. Do you want the Qin family to be completely ruined before you're satisfied? I never imagined you to be such a vicious and cruel person!"
"I didn't!" Qin Shuran cried in protest.
Unfortunately, no one would listen to her now.
"Heh heh," Chen Fan let out a cold laugh at this moment.
"What are you laughing at?" Zeng Wanrou asked.
"I'm laughing at how my uncle could marry such a short-sighted woman," Chen Fan said calmly.
"You! How dare you!"
Then, Zeng Wanrou tearfully turned to Qin Hongguo, "Hongguo, look at your daughter. Look at the person she found and what he's saying about me!"
Qin Hongguo's face darkened, and his gaze turned icy towards Chen Fan.
"What about me? You dare say that about my sister-in-law? It's already giving you face that I haven't slapped you yet!" Big Bear's words were shocking, and he pointed at Zeng Wanrou, shouting at her.
Big Bear's ferocious gaze almost made Zeng Wanrou collapse onto the ground.
"Bang!"
"Presumptuous!"
Qin Hongguo, his face ashen, finally spoke, slamming his hand on the table in front of him.
The scene fell silent at this moment.
"Mr. Xiong, may I ask why you have come to my home? If there is no other business, please leave, or do not blame me for being impolite!" Qin Hongguo's cold gaze fixed on Big Bear.
Big Bear completely ignored Qin Hongguo and instead looked at Chen Fan.
This feeling of being ignored made Qin Hongguo's expression even more unpleasant.
"Is everything arranged?" Chen Fan asked.
"It was arranged this morning," Big Bear replied.
Chen Fan nodded slightly and looked at Qin Hongguo, "Uncle, do you remember the bet I made with Qin Xiaodong earlier?"
Everyone sneered, not expecting Chen Fan to bring this up now.
Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Fan continued, "Big Bear has opened new ports in South China Province. If your foreign trade business still wants to continue, you can use the ports opened by Big Bear."
"Big Bear opened ports?" Everyone was startled.
"How is that possible? Opening a port requires permits and licenses. It couldn't be this fast!" Liu Qianze couldn't help but question.
Big Bear sneered, "I acquired ports; they don't require permits."
Qin Xiaodong also questioned, "Ports are monopolized by the Huangfu family. How could you possibly acquire one?"
"You don't need to worry about that, Young Master Qin. I'm just asking you, will you use my shipping company or not?"
This question left everyone present dumbfounded.
"How can you prove you have ports? And the Huangfu family is not someone a mere underground leader of South China can offend, is it?" Qin Hongguo challenged.
"Patriarch Qin, you can make a phone call and see if your family's goods have already been loaded onto ships," Big Bear replied with a faint smile.
Qin Hongguo frowned slightly, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
Soon, the call was connected.
When Qin Hongguo heard the report from the other end, his expression instantly changed.
"Dad, how is it?" Qin Xiaodong quickly asked.
Almost everyone turned their gaze to Qin Hongguo, including Liu Zhijun and Liu Qianze of the Liu family.
Qin Hongguo did not answer Qin Xiaodong. Instead, he looked at Big Bear in surprise, "By doing this, aren't you afraid of offending the Huangfu family?"
