He was confident in his martial arts skills and completely unaware of Ling Zhenfei's prowess. Seeing Ling Zhenfei's frail appearance, he thought he could knock Ling Zhenfei down with a single punch.

"Don't!" Ling Zhenfei's eyes shot a fierce light. He hadn't made a move yet when he saw Jiang Hao's figure flash like lightning, darting towards him.

Jiang Hao tightly gripped Liang Zhigang's wrist, angrily roared, "With your worth, you dare to make a move on Young Master Ling!"

Jiang Hao had great respect for Ling Zhenfei. He would rather take Liang Zhigang's slap himself than tolerate Liang Zhigang provoking Ling Zhenfei.

"Jiang Hao, you're rebelling, you... Let go immediately!"

With his wrist locked tightly by Jiang Hao, Liang Zhigang struggled in agony but couldn't break free.

He originally wanted to assert his dominance and intimidate Jiang Hao with his power, but seeing Jiang Hao's face filled with explosive anger, he was immediately scared out of his wits and dared not make a sound.

"Young Master Ling, you should go first. I can handle things here," Jiang Hao said, his hand still clamped on Liang Zhigang like an iron lock, turning to signal Ling Zhenfei and Fatty to leave.

"Jiang Hao, you are a hero. How could a hero stoop to living under a bear's thumb? If you ever find yourself with nowhere to go, just come to me," Ling Zhenfei said, giving Jiang Hao a look. He knew Jiang Hao was a capable man and had long intended to recruit him, but had never found the right opportunity. Today, he took the chance to make his intentions clear.

"Hmm, all right! Young Master Ling, I will certainly give it some thought," Jiang Hao replied, looking at Ling Zhenfei gratefully, his face full of solemn respect.

"Fatty, let's go!" Ling Zhenfei nodded approvingly at Jiang Hao, got into Fatty's car, and left.

"Jiang Hao, you've got some nerve, letting those two troublemakers go! Just wait until I see my uncle; I'll make sure you pay dearly! Ouch, let go of me now!"

Liang Zhigang could only watch in rage as Ling Zhenfei and Fatty left right under his nose. He was about to shout with fury when Jiang Hao slightly tightened his grip, causing Liang Zhigang to wince in pain, hunching over like a sorry figure, crying out in agony.

"Hmph, idiot!"

Jiang Hao looked down at him disdainfully, then finally let go and said in a deep voice, "Liang Zhigang, I, Jiang Hao, take responsibility for my actions. I will go and explain this matter to Boss Liang myself!"

With those words, Jiang Hao got into the car first, leaving Liang Zhigang and several henchmen behind, and drove off.

"Jiang Hao, you bastard, just you wait for me!"

Liang Zhigang, covered in soot from the car exhaust, was furiously stamping his feet. He immediately took out his phone and dialed his uncle Liang Yida's number...

Jiang Hao didn't care how much Liang Zhigang hated him; his first priority was to figure out how to explain things to Liang Yida.

Having worked for Liang Yida for many years, he knew all too well Liang Yida was a man of narrow temper and a vengeful nature. Liang Yida's actions were always driven by profit. Those who could make him money were his friends; otherwise, they were enemies.

Even though Ling Zhenfei had distanced himself from Hei Biao before this, Liang Yida had always been wary of him.

This time, Ling Zhenfei had won over a million in his newly-opened casino, which was like cutting a chunk of flesh off Liang Yida's body. Knowing Liang Yida's character, he certainly would not let this go easily.

However, even though Jiang Hao knew that Liang Yida would definitely cause trouble for Ling Zhenfei, out of respect for Ling Zhenfei, he felt that he must stand up and speak for him.

As expected, when Jiang Hao returned to Liang Yida's residence, before he had a chance to report the details, Liang Yida's face darkened as he stared at him menacingly and asked, "How did you handle the matter?"

Sitting beside Liang Yida was none other than the Cyclops Mountain Eagle.

At that moment, from his solitary eye, a chilling gaze that matched Liang Yida's in intensity was firmly fixed on Jiang Hao.

Although Liang Zhigang had not yet returned, Jiang Hao knew that Liang Yida must have already received news from his nephew. Moreover, Liang Zhigang had likely not refrained from badmouthing him.

"Boss, that person... he is... Young Master Ling?"

Jiang Hao, hesitant, had no choice but to mention Ling Zhenfei's name with some trepidation, hoping that Liang Yida would downplay the incident.

He was a man who remembered kindness. Liang Yida had shown him grace, and Ling Zhenfei had shown him righteousness. Morally speaking, he naturally hoped that the two families would leave each other in peace.

"I didn't ask who he is, I only asked you, how did you deal with the matter?"

A cold glint constantly flashed in Liang Yida's eyes as he bore down on Jiang Hao, his teeth clenched in a sinister growl, "Do you really think I would let this go just because he is Ling Zhenfei? Impossible. I will not let anyone off easily if they infringe on my interests!"

"I..."

Although Jiang Hao knew Liang Yida was a man who didn't care for personal sentiments, the fierce and bared-teeth expression on Liang Yida's face still sent a chill down his spine.

"Hmph! Do you even need to ask? Brother Jiang is a man of loyalty. His relationship with Ling Zhenfei seems quite extraordinary. If you ask him to deal with Ling Zhenfei, how could he possibly bring himself to do it!"

Cyclops Mountain Eagle, who usually didn't get along with Jiang Hao, saw an opportunity for schadenfreude as Jiang Hao was being scolded by Liang Yida, and immediately said gleefully, "Boss Liang, from what I see, relying on your own strength here won't be enough to deal with that Ling Zhenfei. It's time for me to take personal action!"

"You, take personal action? Hmph!"

Although Liang Yida was annoyed that Jiang Hao had failed to accomplish the task, upon hearing Cyclops Mountain Eagle's remark, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort from under his nose, "Uncle Eagle, you seem to be overestimating yourself, don't you? Didn't Ling Zhenfei win his money back from your hands? Are you telling me that you didn't take personal action then?"

"This…"

Cyclops Mountain Eagle, cornered by Liang Yida's retort, found himself at a loss for words. But he quickly covered his embarrassment with a loud yell, "Boss Liang, you can't say that. At that time, considering it was your casino, I didn't take action.

However, rest assured, although that kid has some skills, Cyclops Mountain Eagle is not to be trifled with. Since I've taken a share from you, I'll clear this obstacle for you. Leave this matter to me. Ling Zhenfei will be my responsibility. Just wait for my good news, I take my leave!"

With that, Cyclops Mountain Eagle, pretending to be valiant, thumped his chest, a wicked gleam shot from his eye as he swept a cold glance at Ling Zhenfei and strode out the door.

"Boss Liang, no matter what, Young Master Ling did help us out a lot last time, and I think with regard to this matter, perhaps we should just..."

No sooner had Cyclops Mountain Eagle left than Jiang Hao solemnly pleaded with Liang Yida.

He knew that although Cyclops Mountain Eagle was not particularly talented, the underworld force behind him was not weak. If this man were to employ his underworld influence against Ling Zhenfei, it would undoubtedly be difficult for Ling Zhenfei to manage.

"Shut your mouth! Jiang Hao, it seems to me that you've grown rebellious, siding with outsiders, haven't you?"
