Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

"Just passing by?" Gao Zhao looked around. This is a brothel! How could you possibly just pass by and end up here?!

Upon closer inspection of the man's low-ranking officer attire, Gao Zhao immediately realized that this fellow must know Guo Weize and was trying to curry favor with him.

Gao Zhao was an upright man and had always looked down on such sycophants. He wanted to teach him a lesson, but after looking at his burly figure and glancing at the bamboo stick that had been knocked to the ground, he immediately gave up the idea!

It's not that he's afraid of this guy, but rather that he's now a scholar, and fighting and killing would be an insult to his culture, so it's not worth it to lower himself to his level!

Yes, that's it!

Guo Weize stood up at this moment, thinking about how he had been beaten badly by Gao Zhao just now, and his hands trembled with anger!

"Beat him!" Guo Weize ordered Wang Qing in a stern voice. Gao Zhao could see his intention, and so could Wang Qing.

There are plenty of people in Tokyo who are single-mindedly focused on climbing the social ladder. If they were willing to beckon, there would be plenty of people begging to do their bidding for them. Now that Wang Qing has delivered himself to their doorstep, they naturally won't be polite.

Wang Qing hesitated. He didn't know Gao Zhao, but he knew Guo Weize. This young man dared to beat Guo Weize so badly, so he must be an ordinary person.

If I hit him, what if he comes looking for revenge and Guo Weize sells him out again?

It's not impossible. They're both in Tokyo, and they're bound to run into each other all the time. If their families step in and resolve the conflict, then the other side will definitely want to take it out on them!

At this point, Guo Weize is most likely to choose to turn a blind eye!

He suddenly realized that he had indeed acted impulsively, blinded by greed, and lost his sense of proportion!

Just then, footsteps approached, and the manager of the brothel arrived with a group of burly thugs.

"Gentlemen, is there something wrong with our service? Why are you vandalizing us like this?" The head manager spoke with a stern face but still polite.

Anyone who has frequented brothels knows that to be able to run a brothel in a place like Tokyo, where all sorts of powerful and influential people mingle, one must have connections and backing, with powerful and influential figures often involved behind the scenes.

Guo Wei knew the owner of this brothel. Although he didn't think they would turn against him over such a trivial matter, it would be embarrassing to make too much of a scene.

As the saying goes, the world of martial arts isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions!

Besides, is it honorable to fight with your own nephew in a brothel, and be the one who gets beaten up?

With this thought in mind, he wanted to settle the matter peacefully.

But Gao Zhao was furious when he saw these people arrive. Pointing at the manager, he started cursing, "How much money have I spent here these past few days? You tell me! I was drinking fine wine and singing songs, and suddenly I was attacked! How can you run a brothel like this? Don't you care about the safety of your customers? I demand an explanation!"

The manager frowned, feeling quite troubled. Guo Wei was a regular customer here, but Gao Zhao's spending over the past two days clearly indicated that he was a big spender and that his status was quite extraordinary!

He didn't really want to get involved in this kind of messy thing; he might offend both sides.

"Gentlemen," the steward said, bowing slightly to the two men, "this place is for pleasure and entertainment. Fighting and violence would spoil our refined enjoyment, and it would also frighten these beautiful young ladies!" He added, "How about I prepare some simple wine to apologize to you?"

"Who do you think you are! You dare to apologize to me!" Gao Zhao pressed his advantage, pointing at him and yelling, "I came here to spend money, not to watch you try to smooth things over for me!"

Guo Weize also said, "This matter is too big; you can't bear the responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, the manager's face darkened, and he cupped his hands, saying, "What you two say makes sense. My shop is merely a place for drinking and entertainment; it certainly cannot handle a case. If you wish to settle this matter clearly, please come to the Kaifeng Prefecture!"

"Great!" Gao Zhao laughed loudly, "Don't even mention Kaifeng Prefecture, I'm not afraid even in front of the officials! Old Guo, do you dare to come with me to solve this case?"

Guo Weize snorted coldly and said, "I'm too lazy to waste words with you. I'll just tell you, if you dare to deny this money, I'll make sure you never have a peaceful day again!"

"Alright!" Gao Zhao kicked the bamboo pole up, caught it, twirled it with a flourish, pointed at it, and laughed, "Then let's give it a try! Who's afraid of who! Every time I see you, I'll beat you up!"

Guo Weize's face darkened. He had just said those words to ridicule Gao Zhao, but now Gao Zhao was using them to mock him!

Looking at Wang Qing, who looked terrified, he knew that the man must have been frightened by Gao Zhao's words about taking a lawsuit in front of the emperor. He cursed inwardly, "He's so hesitant and indecisive. He can't even go all out when it matters. You think you can make it big?"

He deserves to be a common soldier his whole life!

He glanced at the steward again, knowing he wouldn't get away with it today, and had no choice but to give up. With a flick of his sleeve, he shouted, "You just wait, I won't let this go!"

"You talk as if you've had a good relationship with me!" Gao Zhao said disdainfully, curling his lip as he watched him leave. "Old Guo, I enjoyed spending your money. I hope you'll do the same next time!"

"You son of a bitch! I'll fight you to the death!" These words broke Guo Weize's defenses. He could no longer suppress his anger and turned around to pounce on him, ready to fight!

The brothel manager and his thugs quickly grabbed him and tried to persuade him.

Gao Zhao, however, didn't care at all. Holding a stick in one hand and putting his other arm around a woman's waist, he raised an eyebrow and laughed loudly, "Come here! If you don't come, I'll have to spend your money to have fun again!"

"Gao Zhao, you little beast, I'm going to kill you!" Guo Weize roared furiously.

"Sir, please calm down... please give me some face..." The steward, fearing things would escalate, hurriedly pushed Guo Weize out.

He then turned to look at Gao Zhao, his eyes filled with unspeakable displeasure. "Your mouth is really foul!" He quickly gave the woman next to him a wink, signaling her to handle this guy.

Seeing his incompetent rage, Gao Zhao felt even more pleased and prepared to add fuel to the fire. If he could anger him to death, he would have an explanation when he returned to Biyong, at least he wouldn't have lied about his request...

The woman beside him quickly straightened her chest, pressed her arm against his, and said in a sweet voice, "My lord, please stop your magic! Our little shop can't withstand this kind of turmoil!"

Gao Zhao looked down and saw the faint outline of her fair skin beneath her thin clothes. He lifted her chin and laughed, "Your shop can't withstand my antics, but what about you?"

"Hmph, you're so naughty, sir!" the woman scolded playfully, then her beautiful eyes sparkled as she said coquettishly, "I will naturally submit to your will!"

"What a little slut!" Gao Zhao laughed, put his arm around the woman and headed into the room. After taking a few steps, he turned back to look at Wang Qing.

You scoundrel, how dare you ruin your son's good deed!

However, I, the young master, do not hold grudges. I'll let you know how much kindness I have shown you later!

Half an hour later, just as Gao Zhao was about to move to another place, Shi Qian hurriedly came looking for him.

"Young master, Lin Chong's case is closed, and he will be released today."

"So fast!" Gao Zhao was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly pushed away the woman beside him.

After working so hard for so long, even sacrificing my integrity, it's finally time to reap the rewards!
