Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Zhan Qi is actually the one who has been most worried these past few days.

Although it was an order from Prince Fu.

But after all, he was the one who personally put Wolf Fang in the cage.

Moreover, he outwardly complied but inwardly defied the young master's orders and did not kill Wolf Fang.

Zhan Qi attributed all of this primarily to himself.

If he hadn't been so eager to kill the wolf fang that night, he would have killed it before the Prince of Fu arrived.

None of this will happen.

During this period, he served as the captain of the guard protecting Meng Chuan at Mar-a-Lago.

He deeply appreciated the charm of Mengchuan.

Meng Chuan treated every member of their battle hall very well.

They cherish their lives.

If such a young master were to become the leader of the Green Gang in the future, it would be an absolute blessing for every member of the Green Gang.

He almost ruined a prominent leader of the Green Gang.

Fortunately, the young master finally woke up.

Upon hearing this news, Zhan Qi immediately came to apologize.

He would be willing to bear any punishment, no matter how severe, as long as the young master wakes up.

"Zhan Qi, get up right now, what are you doing getting involved in this mess?"

Meng Chuan was almost speechless.

You need to know when to apologize!

This makes me look like a gangster boss. How am I going to explain this to my parents?

In my parents' eyes, I've always been a good kid!

"No, young master, Zhan Qi's sins are grave. If you do not punish him, Zhan Qi will not dare to get up."

Zhan Qi's stubbornness also kicked in.

He knelt behind Prince Fu, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Prince Fu, please get up first."

Meng Chuan couldn't lash out in front of his parents, so he could only speak to Prince Fu.

Of course, Meng Chuan didn't dare to get angry with Prince Fu.

“Master, this is all my fault. I acted on my own initiative and even encouraged Fifth Master. I was too hasty. If you don’t punish me, young master…”

"You get up first and then talk."

Meng Chuan emphasized his words.

If we keep going, we'll really lose our way.

Sensing the change in Meng Chuan's tone, Prince Fu's expression changed.

A look of determination immediately appeared on his face.

"Alright, please calm down, young master. This old servant will get up now."

As Prince Fu spoke, he was about to stand up.

However, at this moment, Yingdie finally led Elder Hua in.

Old Hua is not a martial artist, and he is old and has limited stamina.

"Wait, we can't let them get up."

As soon as Elder Hua appeared, he immediately spoke loudly.

Although it was Meng Chuan's first time meeting Hua Lao.

However, during Meng Chuan's coma, Hua Lao would come to diagnose Meng Chuan at least four or five times a day.

Therefore, Meng Chuan was no stranger to Hua Lao.

"Mr. Hua, what's wrong...?"

Meng Chuan looked at Elder Hua with a puzzled expression.

"Hua Yinyang greets the young master."

Hua Lao, who looked to be at least eighty or ninety years old and had an air of otherworldly wisdom, actually made a move to kneel down to Meng Chuan.

"Elder Hua, no need for formalities. Yingdie, there's no need for you to kneel before Elder Hua."

Meng Chuan said urgently.

Meng Chuan doesn't care about tradition.

All he knew was that Elder Hua had saved his life.

It was after Hua Lao performed the first acupuncture treatment that Meng Chuan regained consciousness.

Most importantly, at Hua Lao's age, he is more than old enough to be Meng Chuan's grandfather.

How could Meng Chuan, a scholar of the 21st century, accept Hua Lao's kneeling ceremony?

“Elder Hua, with your status, you don’t need to kneel.”

Yingdie hurriedly pulled Hua Lao back.

"No! This is my first time meeting the young master, and I must not neglect proper etiquette."

Old Hua, however, said with a serious expression.

Actually, the person who knows Fifth Master's health best is Elder Hua.

Given Fifth Master's current condition, he doesn't have much time left.

In other words, Meng Chuan's time as the leader of the Green Gang is not far off.

Although it was his first time meeting Meng Chuan, he was quite familiar with everything about Meng Chuan.

Every day when he treated and cared for Fifth Master, he heard Fifth Master talk about Meng Chuan quite often.

Therefore, he was completely convinced of Meng Chuan's authority as the young master.

He doesn't have to kneel anymore, but he must follow ancient etiquette on their first meeting.

"Old Hua, aren't you shortening my lifespan?"

Meng Chuan smiled wryly.

Because Hua Lao still knelt down.

"Get up quickly, Shadow Butterfly, please take a seat."

Meng Chuan said helplessly.

Hua Lao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately sat down in the chair Ying Die handed him after getting up.

"Elder Hua, what did you mean when you said we shouldn't let them get up?"

Meng Chuan asked Hua Lao.

"Young Master may not be aware of our gang's rules. They have offended you, so they must accept your punishment. Otherwise, they must be subjected to the three cuts and six holes punishment according to the gang's rules."

Old Master Hua earnestly advised:

"I'm not trying to excuse them; given their crimes, they deserve to be punished."

"However, the young master needs manpower right now. If the two of them get injured, it may delay the young master's affairs."

"Therefore, I humbly request that the young master punish them."

Although Elder Hua was old, his position was only that of a hall master, which was below that of Prince Fu.

He was not originally qualified to plead for Prince Fu.

However, because of Fifth Master, Elder Hua and Prince Fu have been by Fifth Master's side all these years.

He had a good personal relationship with Prince Fu.

He simply couldn't bear to see Prince Fu suffer the torture of being stabbed three times and stabbed six times.

"This... Shadow Butterfly, really?"

Meng Chuan looked at Ying Die in surprise.

The so-called "three cuts and six holes" punishment... Although Meng Chuan had never been involved in the underworld, he had at least read the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

In the novel *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, Qiao Feng suffered the punishment of being cut three times and stabbed six times.

The so-called "three cuts and six holes" means stabbing yourself three times.

It has to be pierced through to create six bloody holes.

How could the Green Gang still retain such a cruel form of punishment?

This is so damn fantastical.

"Yes!"

Yingdie nodded.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Meng Chuan was momentarily at a loss.

What kind of punishment should they give?

Meng Chuan has no experience!

"Young Master, you could actually punish him by making him clean the toilets after seven battles."

Seeing Meng Chuan frowning in deep thought, Ying Die stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.

"Can this still happen?"

Meng Chuan was taken aback, then he understood.

With this idea in mind, things will be much easier!

"Zhan Qi, I've heard that the sanitation at our Haihu Manor has been a serious problem lately! So, I'm punishing you by making you clean every single toilet in the entire Haihu Manor!"

Meng Chuan smiled as he looked at Zhan Qi.

This guy is really hateful; too lenient a punishment won't do.

"No! Young Master, you can hit me, scold me, even kick me a couple of times, just don't make me..."

Zhan Qi immediately burst into tears.

He's the captain, after all!

If we make a team leader clean toilets, won't his brothers laugh at him for a year?

"Zhan Qi, you have overstepped your bounds! How dare you bargain with the young master's punishment?"

However, before Zhan Qi could finish speaking, Ying Die spoke in an icy tone.

Zhan Qi immediately wilted.

"Thank you, Young Master. Zhan Qi accepts the punishment!"

Zhan Qi was really quite frightened.

It wasn't because of Yingdie, but rather that he had indeed gone too far and was suspected of disrespecting the young master.

Especially in front of the Left Protector King Fu.

If Prince Fu hadn't been kneeling here as well, he might have already arrested him and had him whipped.

"As for Lao Fu, you... oh dear, I'm still a little dizzy. I'll remember this and punish you later."

Meng Chuan was in a real predicament and could only make up an excuse to postpone it.

He can't very well make Prince Fu clean toilets too, can he?

However, as soon as Meng Chuan said this, everyone tensed up again.

Prince Fu, in particular, hurriedly stood up and made way for him.

"Elder Hua, please take a look at the young master quickly, we mustn't leave any lasting effects!"
