Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

Completely out of his mind, Sun Dashan suddenly heard a voice outside the door say, "Fifth Master has arrived."

It was like being doused with a bucket of cold water; all the impulse and anger vanished instantly.

My lost rationality has returned.

He then realized that he had acted impulsively.

I almost broke Fifth Master's rules just now, and my back was soaked with sweat.

Everyone unconsciously looked towards the door.

A man in his fifties, wearing a Zhongshan suit, walked in.

He looked like a simple, slightly overweight middle-aged man.

If no one introduced her, no one would guess that she was the Fifth Master, a figure revered by everyone in Shanghai's underworld.

Behind Fifth Master was an older man.

As soon as Fifth Master entered the private room, everyone, including Sun Dashan, quickly made way for him.

An invisible pressure came upon me.

The entire private room gave off a sense of oppression.

Sun Dashan hunched over slightly, barely daring to breathe.

Meng Chuan, who had been sitting, also stood up.

After all, this was Fifth Master's territory, and since the main person had arrived, he felt embarrassed to remain seated.

Fifth Uncle.

Alice greeted Fifth Master with a smile; the two were clearly very familiar with each other.

"You little brat, I told you to come but you didn't. Instead, you brought a bunch of people to cause trouble for your fifth uncle."

Fifth Master had a stern face.

But the doting affection in his eyes for Alice was undeniable, just like an elder's affection for their own child.

No one expected that Alice, this beautiful foreign girl, would have this kind of relationship with Fifth Master.

Sun Dashan secretly rejoiced that he hadn't said anything too offensive to Alice before.

Otherwise, things would have been terrible today.

"It's not that I'm looking for trouble. My friends and I came to support you, but some people always overestimate themselves and try to mess with me."

Alice said to Fifth Master in a coquettish tone.

Upon hearing this, Sun Dashan became anxious and hurriedly pointed at Meng Chuan, saying:

"Fifth Master, that's not how it is. He attacked first..."

If Fifth Master misunderstands him, even if Fifth Master forgives him...

He's bound to get a beating from his grandfather when he gets home.

After all, his grandfather had told him many times that he could act recklessly in Shanghai.

It's forbidden to kill someone in the street, as that would break Fifth Master's rules.

However, Sun Dashan hadn't finished speaking.

The old man behind Fifth Master suddenly appeared in front of Sun Dashan.

A loud slap landed on his face.

A bright red handprint immediately appeared on Sun Dashan's face.

Sun Dashan, the eldest son of the prestigious Sun family and the head of Sidu Company.

He was slapped in the face in public, his head was spinning, but he didn't dare to utter a sound.

"If Fifth Master doesn't ask, who dares to speak up?"

The old man spoke concisely and in a cold tone.

After saying that, he returned to behind Fifth Master as if nothing had happened.

Meng Chuan was stunned. Now he understood why Fifth Master was feared by others.

Even an ordinary-looking old man next to him possessed such skill.

They are even comparable to professional bodyguards like Natasha.

Just how powerful is the infamous Fifth Master?

No wonder even the wealthy families don't dare to easily provoke Fifth Master.

If you offend Fifth Master, you'll probably never get a good night's sleep as long as he's alive.

Looking at Sun Dashan, after being slapped, he not only dared not get angry, but his back was almost bent to the ground.

Fifth Master glanced at Sun Dashan and the man lying on the ground, and said coldly:

"I'll let it go this time for Old Man Sun's sake. But his influence won't guarantee you a second time."

It is obvious that Fifth Master and Sun Dashan's grandfather had some connection.

However, their friendship is probably not very deep.

But Sun Dashan felt relieved upon hearing this and quickly bowed and said:

"Thank you, Fifth Master. We'll remember that."

He bowed very low, and no one saw the deep resentment in his eyes.

Sun Dashan's resentment was not directed at Fifth Master.

He doesn't even have the right to resent Fifth Master now.

Therefore, all the resentment was automatically transferred to Meng Chuan.

Fifth Master's rule is that you can't fight inside the bar, but there are no restrictions outside the bar.

Fifth Master and Alice are acquainted, but Fifth Master has not given Meng Chuan a single glance since he came in.

Therefore, Fifth Master and Meng Chuan are definitely not familiar with each other.

Once you leave the bar!

As long as Alice and Fifth Master are not around Meng Chuan.

Sun Dashan still has a chance.

He wanted Meng Chuan to suffer a fate worse than death.

"Then why aren't you leaving? Do you want me to personally escort you?"

Fifth Master asked again in a cold voice.

Sun Dashan repeatedly said, "I dare not."

Have the bodyguards carry the injured person away quickly.

The more arrogant Sun Dashan was when he arrived, the more pathetic he became when he left.

After Sun Dashan and the others left, the atmosphere in the private room became even more oppressive.

Zheng Muchen had heard of Fifth Master's reputation ever since he arrived in Shanghai.

His legs have been trembling ever since Fifth Master appeared.

"You've got some nerve, kid! Do you know what happened to the guy who fought on my turf last time?"

Fifth Master stared at Meng Chuan, an invisible pressure pressing down on him.

Meng Chuan smiled faintly:

"This is my first time here, I really didn't know."

These words startled Zheng Muchen so much that he almost covered Meng Chuan's mouth.

How can you speak to Fifth Master like that?

With Fifth Master in front of him, Zheng Muchen dared not make a move.

"Haha, you've got guts. It's been years since a young person has dared to talk to me like that."

Fifth Master suddenly burst into laughter.

But the next second his eyes turned cold, and a murderous aura filled the air.

"No one has ever left this world with all four limbs intact after a fight at my Blackman Bar. Which hand are you planning to leave with?"

Fifth Master's question was a wake-up call.

Jiang Zhenyu and Zheng Muchen both felt a sharp jolt in their hearts.

It's over, Fifth Master is angry, we're completely finished!

"I didn't fight, so why should I leave with one hand?"

However, Meng Chuan remained calm and composed, speaking with neither arrogance nor servility.

"Oh? What about the blood on the ground?"

Fifth Master's gaze was sharp and piercing, like a knife.

"Fighting is defined as the act of attacking or fighting each other using limbs or tools."

Meng Chuan said softly:

“He didn’t hit me; I just hit him, so it can’t be defined as a fight.”

Meng Chuan's remarks shocked everyone.

Fighting? Can it be explained like that?

Even Fifth Master was surprised by Meng Chuan's response.

"So, you were involved in that 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' too, weren't you?"

Fifth Master asked again.

"It wasn't me who caused trouble. We came to the bar to patronize them, and they were the ones who barged in with their men. If anyone's causing trouble, it's them."

Meng Chuan spoke again.

Even Fifth Master was bewildered by Meng Chuan's explanation.

"So you mean you broke my rules and don't need to give me any explanation?"

Fifth Master glared at Meng Chuan.

"Logically speaking, I should ask Fifth Master for an explanation. Since I'm spending money on Fifth Master's turf, he has an obligation to provide me with a safe environment. If he can't, then I really won't dare to come here again."

Meng Chuan paused, then added:

"Of course, Fifth Master's timely appearance prevented the conflict from escalating, which is the best explanation I could give him."

Meng Chuan's audacious words made everyone break out in a cold sweat for him.

Fifth Master, do you want to explain? This kid is truly fearless!

Just when everyone thought that Fifth Master would definitely fly into a rage.

Fifth Master suddenly burst into laughter:

"Haha, cultured people just talk differently. He clearly broke my rules, but he still manages to act like he's in the right."

"The most ridiculous thing is that it actually sounds quite reasonable." [Please vote and leave a good review. Thank you all for your support. I'm terrible at naming characters, so I'm collecting suggestions. Leave your ideas in the comments, and I'll consider them. Thanks again for your support.]
