Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Marital Discord?
Zhou Yu greeted Old Chen, saying, “I heard you were at West Street Bar before, making He Xuan’s lackeys howl in pain. Tonight, I need to trouble you again to block those hangers-on.”
“Mr. Zhou, don’t mention it. The young master pays me a hundred thousand a month; this work is a breeze for me.”
Old Chen looked honest and simple, but he was anything but foolish.
He was definitely not an ordinary person.
Zhou Yu barely knew anything about him, just that he was a retired special forces soldier. He had always been by Huo Xingzhou’s side, ensuring his safety. The only mishap was that car accident when Old Chen had been lured away.
“Your salary is really high.”
Zhou Yu looked at him enviously, thinking even a driver could make a million a year.
Such an enviable job!
Old Chen proudly said, “The young master also got me commercial insurance, benefits for life. I could stop working for the rest of my life and still not starve.”
“Impressive.”
Zhou Yu gave him a thumbs up.
He led the way, scrutinizing Huo Xingzhou’s expression and whispered to Old Chen, “He always manages to hide his feelings; why is he so angry tonight? Something seems off.”
Old Chen knew his limits and shared a bit of his guess, “It seems there was some unhappiness between the young master and the Young Madam.”
“Marital discord?”
Zhou Yu smacked his own mouth. Grandma Qiao Xi had just passed away; she wasn’t in the mood for that stuff.
Never mind.
After finishing tonight’s business, he’d better ask Huo Er.
The trio approached suite 820 and could feel the liveliness from outside. Someone was singing loudly off-key; it was practically an assault by sound waves.
The club manager still followed them, unclear on what Huo Xingzhou was up to.
“Kick the door.”
Huo Xingzhou said indifferently.
The club manager turned pale and stammered, “Mr. Huo Er, that’s not allowed! If there are any issues, please let us know, and we will try to resolve them.”
Old Chen shoved the club manager aside, his muscular thighs tensed fiercely, and he kicked the sculpted door with a bang.
The door wobbled a few times and the lock burst open.
He pushed the door open, and the deafening sound inside escaped into the corridor.
The several dandies inside turned toward the door and swallowed their curses.
“Damn, Mr. Zhou!”
“Bro Huo Er!”
“You all… What brings you here? Meeting here must be fate. I’m just gathering with Brother Huai. He said he’s been in particularly good spirits lately, so he’s picking up the tab.”
Xiang Huai was well-known in the Imperial Capital for his lavish spending.
That’s why in Haicheng he also had a lot of fair-weather friends; young and naive wealthy boys sometimes got drawn to his lavishness, thinking he was someone worth befriending. Moreover, Xiang Huai and Huo Xingzhou used to be on good terms before.
Thus, Xiang Huai also had a good time in Haicheng.
Huo Xingzhou’s cold eyes surveyed the entire room, like an emperor.
He didn’t see the person he was looking for.
He calmly asked, “Where is Xiang Huai?”
A young wealthy man pointed outside the room, his voice shaking, “Brother Huai went to the restroom.”
Huo Xingzhou didn’t linger, his long strides and imposing presence carrying him towards the club’s restroom.
The rest inside the suite glanced at each other and said, “Should we… also take a look?”
“Let’s go!”
“See what’s going on.”
They rushed out, following in the footsteps of Huo Xingzhou and his group.
The restroom in Fuchun Garden had floors so polished they could reflect images, and it was magnificently decorated with lit incense.
Clean and bright.
At that moment, Xiang Huai was at the sink washing his hands, his cheeks flushed red, reeking of alcohol.
He drank merrily, letting Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou feel defeated, yet they couldn’t do anything to him.
He was extremely happy.
Finally, he had managed to put Huo Xingzhou at a disadvantage.
After washing his hands and drying them with a clean towel, he turned around only to see Huo Xingzhou, formidable as a death god, standing in front of him. His gaze was cold, his expression somber.
Xiang Huai was startled, instinctively stepping back two steps to maintain outward composure, he asked, “Xingzhou, what are you doing here?”
He forced a smile, exchanging pleasantries.
The matter of the clinic fire was clear to everyone.
But Xiang Huai was convinced that Huo Xingzhou couldn’t do anything to him — perhaps he was just here to make a scene. Thinking this, the instinctual fear he felt towards Huo Xingzhou lessened significantly.
“How about a drink together? The brothers are all here having a great time.” Xiang Huai said with a smile, his handsome face full of pretense.
Huo Xingzhou looked at him expressionlessly, then suddenly punched Xiang Huai in the face, “Have a drink?”
Xiang Huai was stunned, his nerves numbed by alcohol, and he couldn’t react immediately.
He only felt severe pain in his cheek.
Huo Xingzhou kicked his knee, causing Xiang Huai to kneel on the ground in pain.
“Huo Xingzhou, have you lost your mind? How dare you hit me…” Xiang Huai cried out through gritted teeth in pain, “What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pull him away!”
He looked towards the young men outside the restroom.
Most did not dare intervene in the conflict between Huo Xingzhou and Xiang Huai, though a few were itching to move, all were stopped by Old Chen’s fists, as big as casserole pots.
“Whoever dares, I’ll twist your heads off.”
Old Chen suppressed them with overwhelming force.
Xiang Huai panic-stricken, he realized Huo Xingzhou was serious.
“Huo Xingzhou, don’t mess around. The Imperial Capital’s Xiang Family is behind me, if you touch me, the Xiang Family will…”
“Heh…”
Huo Xingzhou scoffed, “How has our petty skirmish turned into a family feud? Ask your father if he would oppose Tianyuan Group directly for your sake?”
No, he wouldn’t.
Huo Xingzhou had said it was a petty skirmish, just a personal conflict between them.
Xiang Huai was just a lesser son of his family, not pinned with any hopes for leadership; the Xiang Family would definitely not establish a powerful enemy just for him. Business matters could be settled by business means, personal vendettas, however, were another concept altogether.
“I… Huo Xinghou, aren’t you afraid I’ll report this assault to the police, get you in the police station?”
“Since I’m here, there’s nothing I’m afraid of.”

Huo Xingzhou lifted his leg again and kicked harshly on his back, leaving a clear footprint. Xiang Huai lay powerless on the ground.
He tried to stand up, but Huo Xingzhou crisply and efficiently unbuckled Xiang Huai’s belt.
With a whoosh.
He pulled out his designer belt.
Xiang Huai’s face turned red with rage as he shouted, “Huo Xingzhou, what are you trying to do!”
He had heard about Huo Xingzhou’s actions in West Street Bar before, where he made others strip He Xuan completely and forced those dandies to grope him.
It’s said that He Xuan still has psychological trauma, apparently he ended up in a psychiatric hospital.
“Get away!”
“Huo Xingzhou, leave!”
Huo Xingzhou sneered, his eyebrows fierce as he swung the belt down on Xiang Huai’s body.
Smack!
The sound of the belt striking flesh echoed, Xiang Huai howled.
Smack!
Cool and aristocratic, his demeanor icy, the belt in his hand struck fiercely on Xiang Huai’s back, buttocks, and legs.
Again and again!
The sound of smacks reverberating.
Xiang Huai was beaten until he ran off in terror, tears and snot streaming down his face.
