I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 318 Come and hit me!

As soon as everyone heard her speak, they started to attack her with sarcasm.

They couldn't help but look at each other.

Qiu Xiaochi raised his head and laughed out loud, his laughter echoing throughout the hall.

He said loudly, "Haitang, why do you think so? We are all members of the East Lake Gang after all. Even if there are some disagreements and frictions, there is no need to cause misunderstandings. If we damage the harmony and cause the East Lake Gang to fall apart, wouldn't we be laughed at by outsiders?"

"Oh? Really?" Haitang's face was as cold as ice, with a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth, and her cold eyes stared straight at Qiu Xiaochi.

He said slowly, "But it seems to me that you invited so many people to the banquet with such fanfare today. It seems like you are targeting me specifically and want to harm me."

Qiu Xiaochi quickly waved his hands with a sincere expression on his face.

He explained, "Haitang, don't let your imagination run wild! Our East Lake Gang's leader has just been in an unfortunate accident, and we're leaderless right now. We in the East Lake Gang must not lose our composure and start killing each other!"

He paused and smiled.

He continued earnestly, "The reason I co-hosted this banquet with Mr. Zhou was simply to find an opportunity to challenge Gao Jin and have a chance to win a round. Therefore, I specially invited all of you friends to gather together so that we can get to know each other better."

Before Qiu Xiaochi finished speaking, everyone present started to applaud, and the cheers were endless.

After the applause subsided, Qiu Xiaochi continued, "And I also know that someone had a conflict with me in your place before, but I kept you in mind and never caused trouble in your territory."

"Now is the perfect opportunity. I plan to have a good fight with Shen Lang and put an end to it once and for all. As far as I know, he will be here soon. I wonder if you, Haitang, will come here to support him?"

After hearing this, Haitang frowned slightly, her face showing surprise. She said in a deep voice, "Shen Lang is also coming to your party?"

"That's right." Qiu Xiaochi nodded in response, staring at Haitang, as if trying to find some clues.

But Haitang looked surprised.

Then he asked, "I heard that Haitang has been with Shen Lang recently. If there is any conflict between him and me, which side will you choose to stand on? Will you lend him a hand, or will you side with me, Qiu Xiaochi?"

Haitang stared at Qiu Xiaochi with cold eyes and said in a tone as cold as ice: "What kind of friendship do I have with you?"

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then continued, "Could the dispute between you two possibly involve the entire East Lake Gang? Since you have a grudge against someone, do you want your enemy to cause trouble for your family?"

Qiu Xiaochi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly returned to normal. He said with a forced smile, "If that's the case, Haitang, are you clearly going to support Shen Lang?"

For a moment, the two of them were at loggerheads, neither of them giving in, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

It seemed as if a violent argument could break out at any moment.

Zhou Chaoxian saw that the situation was not good and hurried forward to smooth things over.

"You are all the backbone of the East Lake Gang! Boss Hai has just gotten into trouble, so please don't start a fight at this critical moment! I hope that for my sake, Zhou Chaoxian, you will put aside your differences for the time being and avoid damaging the relationship."

Just finished speaking.

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice rang out from the crowd: "Today's incident was originally a conflict between Boss Qiu and Miss Hai. Moreover, Miss Hai has a close relationship with that Shen. It seems that this is just an internal family struggle. We have come here for nothing."

When Qiu Xiaochi's men heard this, they shouted angrily, "Who's farting?"

"If you have the guts, come out and show up. How can you be considered a hero if you hide in the background?"

"Who is this blind person talking nonsense?"

"Fuck your ancestors! Who was it that just spoke? Stand up if you have the guts!"

Although everyone was cursing, the man didn't say anything after saying that, so no one knew who was speaking.

Qiu Xiaochi was very angry when he was mocked so coldly, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he had to swallow his anger.

Although the Donghu Gang has a big reputation, they are all gangsters and cannot be considered upper-class people, so naturally they will say whatever they want.

Listening to the noise around him, Zhou Chaoxian frowned and said, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Please be quiet for a moment."

When he started talking, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Waiting to see what Zhou Chao will say first.

Unexpectedly, that unpleasant voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "It seems that after Hai'an's death, the Donghu Gang changed their surname to Zhou. Otherwise, why would they listen to Zhou Chaoxian?"

Upon hearing this, the East Lake Gang members became even more enraged, and they all lifted up their clothes, revealing the guns hidden beneath. The other guests, thinking the East Lake Gang members were about to attack, also drew their own weapons, shouting and cursing incessantly, creating a chaotic scene.

Zhou Chaoxian and Qiu Xiaochi hurriedly advised everyone to keep quiet and not to start a fight, but their calls were drowned out by the noise in the hall.

In this chaotic scene, as noisy and bustling as a vegetable market.

Suddenly, another figure rushed in.

The man walked hurriedly, like an arrow shot from a bow, and rushed straight towards where Qiu Xiaochi was.

When he got closer, he leaned over slightly and whispered something quickly in Qiu Xiaochi's ear in a low voice.

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Xiaochi's originally calm face changed color in an instant, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on him, and a chill surged from the bottom of his heart.

He frowned, his face full of suspicion, and then he couldn't wait to ask a question.

The messenger did not dare to delay and quickly pointed outside the door, with an indescribable expression of horror and surprise on his face, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying or incredible.

After listening to this, Qiu Xiaochi pondered for a moment, then turned his head and whispered something into Zhou Chaoxian's ear.

In an instant, Zhou Chaoxian's expression changed slightly.

At this time, another person walked up to Qiu Xiaochi and asked in a low voice.

Qiu Xiaochi told him what he had just heard, and the man's face changed drastically when he heard it.

And so, the news spread at an astonishing speed.

First one passed it to two, then the two passed it to two more, and so on, spreading rapidly like a prairie fire.

In just a short moment, everyone in the hall knew about it.

In an instant, the originally noisy and bustling hall became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

The reason was simple: everyone clearly heard those four crucial words—"Shen Lang is here!"

Qiu Xiaochi took a deep breath, trying to calm the ups and downs in his heart. He glanced at Zhou Chaoxian, who nodded slightly.

Then, he turned his gaze to Haitang beside him, but saw that her face was still as calm as water, without any sign of panic.

After a short pause, Qiu Xiaochi finally said, "Guests are welcome, please come in!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to signal his men to go forward to greet them.

At this moment, everyone's hearts seemed to be hanging in the air, beating non-stop.

Although everyone knew very well that they had a large number of people, if they worked together and rushed forward, it would be easy to shoot Shen Lang to death.

However, this person actually made Qiu Xiaochi, who has always been arrogant and cunning, suffer such a big loss, and he even dared to go into the dangerous place alone. It seems that he is fearless. It is really hard to guess what conspiracy he has.

In the silence, only the sound of footsteps could be heard.

A moment later, a figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the newcomer.

He looks very young, probably in his early twenties, but he has a very good appearance. If he becomes an actor, he can definitely make a living with his looks.

Shen Lang stepped into the hall, clasped his fists, and said, "I heard that the gambling devil's apprentice Qiu Xiaochi is holding a banquet here. Although I, Shen Lang, despise Qiu Xiaochi's behavior, but since he wants to deal with me, Shen Lang, I have no choice but to come and take a look."

He looked around and continued, "Besides, I'm not very good at talking. If I say anything wrong, come and beat me up!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply. If it weren't for those words, his expression could be considered extremely respectful.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, feeling that this person really deserved a beating!

Just as Qiu Xiaochi was about to reply, Shen Lang's gaze fell on Zhou Chaoxian: "Who is this?"

"My name is Zhou Chaoxian." Zhou Chaoxian said.

Shen Lang nodded and asked, "Mr. Zhou, I came here in a Mazda. Am I eligible to attend this banquet?"
