Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Who else? Step forward!~
In reality, Huang Xiaolong’s move to have people stand up for him was not a plea for assistance. Taking on the rabble of the Gao family was something he could handle by himself!
However, part of him was doing it for fun, and part of him was curious to see if he had made any real friends since moving to the city from the countryside.
On the stage, the Gao Family representatives scornfully laughed at Huang Xiaolong’s naiveté.
“Hehe~ I really want to see who would dare to stand up…” Old Master Gao sneered continuously at Huang Xiaolong, “I gave you a chance, but you foolishly missed it. Now, don’t blame my heartlessness! From now on, everyone associated with you will die, and my Gao family won’t let them die peacefully…”
While speaking, Old Master Gao menacingly scanned the audience with a threatening gaze as if he was an emperor adjudicating life and death.
Seeing this, the majority of the guests believed that even those associated with Huang Xiaolong would shrink back, afraid to openly support him.
Just then!
In the midst of the silent crowd, the cold and aloof Cui Feiyan, who was dressed in a long dress, stood up. Without uttering a word, she walked towards the empty grass area Huang Xiaolong had pointed out.
Huang Xiaolong had helped Cui Feiyan many times, almost rescuing the Cui Corporation from a crisis once. This filled her with gratitude. Moreover, she had deeply fallen in love with Huang Xiaolong. Under such circumstances, she naturally wouldn’t like to see her beloved man stand alone.
Even though she wasn’t an influential person in Binhai, she wouldn’t hesitate when it was time to show her support.
“Hehe, Feiyan.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled while observing Cui Feiyan.
Cui Feiyan nodded at Huang Xiaolong affectionately and stood firmly on the grass patch.
The crowd was in an uproar.
“Oh my god! Who is that young lady who dares to stand up at this time? Isn’t she inviting trouble for her family?”
“Oh, that’s Miss. Cui Feiyan of Cui Corporation. From now onwards, Cui Corporation will face a crushing blow in Binhai and eventually vanish without a trace.”
…
“Umm…” Cui Feiyan’s father, Cui Dong, also stood up and walked to his daughter’s side with the help of his bodyguard, Uncle Fu.
“Hahaha~~~ Country bumpkins!” Old Master Gao sneered disdainfully. “What can such lowlifes do to support you, this little peasant? My Gao family can crush them with a flick of a finger! Any more? You may as well stand together!”
“Brother Xiaolong, I’m standing by you.” Brother Zhao Qi, leading a few followers, walked straight towards Cui Feiyan. He pounded his chest. “Brother Xiaolong, you saved my life. I’m with you to the very end! Damn it!”
“Master Huang, my wife is surely pregnant. Hahaha~~~ You’ve done me a great favor. There’s no question, I’m standing with you,” Chairman Qiu stood up and walked over to the grass patch.
“Master, you are the leader of our traditional Chinese medicine community. I’ll stake my old bones on you today!” Binhai’s renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Old Master Shi, along with several other old Chinese doctors, slowly walked towards the grass patch.
The dean of the First People’s Hospital contemplated, ‘This Master Huang is a great talent… like a god! I’ll lay my bet on him today. What can the Gao family do, kill me?’
With this thought in mind, the dean of the First People’s Hospital ran over promptly.
…
Suddenly, quite a few people chose to support Huang Xiaolong.
Moreover, they all held some influence; they weren’t nobodies.
This unexpected turn left the rest of the audience in awe.
No one had imagined that against such unfavourable odds, there would still be people willing to stand up for Huang Xiaolong.
Old Master Gao sneered, “Hahaha~~~ A motley crew! You dare to challenge my Gao Family with such crowd? A futile struggle!”
“Master!” The elegant Fang Zhaoyue stood up and ran towards Huang Xiaolong. Last time, at the Yelai Fragrance Bar, if it wasn’t for Huang Xiaolong’s intervention, she would have been in great danger. Reflecting on it, it still sent her shivers down the spine.
Seeing his beloved daughter supporting Huang Xiaolong, Mayor Fang Shijie also stood up.
In the end, Old Master Gao and the rest of the Gao family were somewhat taken aback.
“Mayor Fang, you’re not giving me even a shred of respect?” Old Master Gao’s face was full of indignation!
Compared to people like Cui Dong, Chairman Qiu, and Brother Zhao Qi, it was clear that Fang Shijie carried much more weight.
After all, he was the Mayor of Binhai City, a feudal lord in his own right.
“I apologize, master Gao. Dr. Xiaolong has done my family a great service. As the saying goes, when one receives favor of even a single drop of water, he should reciprocate with a bubbling spring. Also, today, I am representing myself, not Binhai City,” Fang Shijie said with a slight smile and then moved towards the empty grass lawn with his wife.
“My God… this farmer boy actually has connections with the mayor!”
“Wow, he’s got a background! No wonder he would dare come to the ancestral home of the Gao Family and cause a scene.”
“Impressive, with the mayor’s support, even old master Gao may need to tread carefully.”
…
“Humph! Brave boy! Let’s see who else is going to stand up for this mixed-blood whelp! Anyone else? Step out!” Old master Gao invoked with some anger.
“I will!” Lin Zicong stood up without hesitation. “If anyone dares to touch my teacher today, he will have to step over my dead body!”
Lin Jing also stood up.
Following Lin Zicong and Lin Jing, the Lin Family’s first-generation head, Old Master Lin, and other elders, as well as second-generation figures like Lin Jianfeng, the third and fourth generations, all stood up!
Dozens of them all walked towards Huang Xiaolong!
Wow~~~~~~~
The crowd went into an uproar!
The entire Binhai’s most significant family, the Lin Family, was supporting Huang Xiaolong!
“Old brother Lin, what do you mean by this?” Old master Gao, with his pupils visibly contracting, stared at Old Master Lin with shock.
Old Master Lin might be in his eighties, but he didn’t look his age at all. His spirit was as robust as ever. “Hahaha~~ Dear brother Gao, this young man has significant connections with us at the Lin Family. Our family has also received his favor and kindness. Furthermore, my grandson and granddaughter both owe him their lives… Dear brother Gao, I’m sorry.”
On the platform, the Gao Family members glanced at each other in dismay. This initially one-sided situation had shifted slightly with the entire Lin Family’s support!
The scales of justice began to lean slowly towards Huang Xiaolong!
“Hahaha! Everyone in the Sun Family, stand up for me!” Old master Sun shouted boisterously, standing up.
Boom~~~~~~~
Sun Wei, Sun Hu, Sun Feng, and others all got to their feet!
“Old Gao, I don’t know what grievance this young man has against the Gao Family, but as you know, I always support the family, not necessarily the cause. Our Sun Family, we are backing him!”
After saying this, a few dozen people from the Sun Family joined Huang Xiaolong’s side.
As he brushed past Huang Xiaolong, Old Master Sun bowed courteously, “We would like to ask you to convey our gratitude to your master on behalf of the Sun Family… and also… regarding Weiwei’s marriage to you…”
“Grandfather!” An embarrassed Sun Wei quickly tugged on Old Master Sun’s arm.
“Oh… I’ll look out for your family from now on,” Huang Xiaolong casually said.
At this point, Old master Gao seemed a bit disconcerted, unable to control the situation anymore, “Who… who else? Who else? Who else… Step out!”
All of the Gao Family’s heart tightened!
Out of Binhai’s four prominent families, two had already chosen to support Huang Xiaolong!
Could it be that there was going to be a change in Binhai’s power structure?
