Chapter 33 - Bai Zhou is a Reckless Fool? Does He Not Know His Limits?



Chapter 33: Bai Zhou is a Reckless Fool? Does He Not Know His Limits?

“Crap!” Ma Dezhong was stunned by the situation. His son had been warned, yet he still dared to make a move? What the hell … His son had always been a bully to the weak but a coward to the strong. When did he suddenly get so gutsy?

Wait! This isn’t a matter of being gutsy!  

He finally got some courage, and now his life is on the line!

He immediately turned to his son in anger, pointing and cursing: “Are you serious?! Is what he said true?! You idiot!!”

The young man with a bandaged head was dumbfounded.

“Wait, did he warn me? Yes! He did warn me! But why did I still hit him? Am I stupid? No … he didn’t mention that he was Li Tai’s son, did he? Huh? What’s going on?!”

Ma Dezhong glared at his son and almost kicked him. But he didn’t know what had actually happened at the scene.

Bai Zhou had come in and said, “Do you know who he is?”

Who is he? He didn’t say!  

To a second-generation heir who bullies the weak and fears the strong, wouldn’t that sound like a provocation?! Of course, he would fight!

Then Bai Zhou added, “You blind dog!”

Well, after Li Yonggang was beaten into a pulp, Bai Zhou finally said, “He’s Li Tai’s son!”

Whether Bai Zhou did this unintentionally or intentionally, only he would know. However, Li Yonggang’s current state was probably Bai Zhou’s way of getting revenge for when Li Yonggang pointed a gun at his head just after Bai Zhou transmigrated into this body!

At least, that’s how Bai Zhou justified it to himself.

Now, Ma Dezhong had no way out. He spread his hands and looked at Li Tai, saying: “Your son also hit my son. At most, my son was just retaliating. How are you planning to handle this? Give me a clear answer.”

He knew Li Tai wouldn’t actually shoot him. Li Tai would weigh the risks. After all, Ma Dezhong held the same status in Hancheng as Li Tai did. It wouldn’t make sense to stir up a major conflict over a scuffle between their sons. Even though his son had hit the other first, it was clear from the extent of the injuries who got the worst of it.

Besides, they were on Li Tai’s home turf.

Li Tai was furious, but at this moment, he slightly turned and gave Bai Zhou a glance, saying: “Bai Zhou, what do you think we should do about this?”

“Huh?” Hearing this, everyone around, including Bai Zhou, was taken aback.

Why ask Bai Zhou how to handle this? What was Bai Zhou’s status, that Li Tai would need his opinion?  

Moreover, Li Tai’s close ally Zhou Yuntian was standing right there!

Even Bai Zhou himself felt puzzled. But Bai Zhou knew the personalities of each character in the original novel. So, he realized that Li Tai was most likely testing him, with at least an 80% certainty!

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t so much a test as it was an “evaluation.” Ever since Li Tai had given Bai Zhou that dagger, Li Tai had been keeping his eyes on him. After all, confidants needed to be groomed! Plus, Li Tai was getting older, and the future would belong to his son. He was already preparing for his son’s future!

Understanding this, Bai Zhou immediately decided how to handle the situation.

His gaze darkened as he slowly turned to the young man with the bandaged head behind Ma Dezhong and coldly said: “To dare lay a hand on the young master—death!”

“What?!” Both Ma Dezhong and his son exclaimed at the same time upon hearing Bai Zhou’s words.

Even Li Tai was momentarily stunned.

Death?  

In this situation, killing was obviously not the right solution. If Ma Dezhong’s son were killed, Ma Dezhong would definitely retaliate like a wounded lion. In the end, both sides would be severely damaged.

“Hiss—”

A trace of doubt appeared in Li Tai’s eyes, and he thought to himself: Bai Zhou, who could think so clearly about the Mu family’s situation, seems to be missing something here. Could I have misjudged him?  

Li Tai’s close ally, Zhou Yuntian, also shook his head slowly after hearing Bai Zhou’s words.

It was as if he was saying, Tai, your subordinate isn’t quite up to par.

On the other side, the young man with the bandaged head, after recovering from his shock, stepped forward and pointed at Bai Zhou, shouting: “You dare?!”

“What wouldn’t I dare?” Bai Zhou chuckled lightly.

In the blink of an eye, he swiftly snatched the gun from Li Tai’s hand.

“Hey! Bai Zhou!!”

Li Tai, caught off guard, had his gun taken away, and instinctively reached for his waist, where there was another knife. It was clear that Li Tai still harbored some degree of wariness toward Bai Zhou. However, Bai Zhou immediately cocked the gun and pointed it straight at the bandaged youth.

“Hey! What are you doing?!” Ma Dezhong’s son was instantly horrified.

He grabbed one of the nearby underlings, using him as a shield, crouching behind him and shouting: “If you dare kill me, you won’t live to see tomorrow!!”

The underling in front was utterly flabbergasted!

Seeing the barrel of Bai Zhou’s gun pointed at his chest, cold sweat poured down his face.

He knew Bai Zhou would definitely shoot! This guy was a hothead! Even with a gun pointed at him, he had still dared to slap people senseless!

At this moment, Li Tai also looked at Bai Zhou with caution. If Bai Zhou really killed Ma Dezhong’s son, it would plunge everything into chaos!

Behind them, Ye Qiantong anxiously took a step forward. Having followed these big shots for so many years, she understood some things just from observing.

Ma Dezhong shouted loudly: “Kid! Put the gun down!!”

But … was Bai Zhou really that reckless?
