Volume 1: Rebirth and Renewal Chapter 8: Yun Ting's Night in the City

  At night, at 7 o'clock sharp, Chu Yu arrived at No. 888 Lanxi Road on time. The magnificent "Yuntin Night" in front of him couldn't help but remind him of the years when he first entered the world thirty years ago. During that year in Hong Kong, he had indeed been to such nightclubs many times.

  At first, in order to build his own financial empire, Chu Yu naturally wouldn't let go of the lucrative business of nightclubs. The largest nightclub in Hong Kong, "China City", still has a 20% stake secretly controlled by Chu Yu to this day. Of course, this property also belongs to the Tianbao Financial Group.

  The "Cloud Pavilion Night City" in front of him was certainly not on the same level as the "China City" on Hong Kong's Kowloon Peninsula, but it was enough to evoke Chu Yu's memories of his past golden years.

  Just then, a middle-aged man with a suit and tie, slightly stout, walked up quickly, his bright laughter first entered Chu Yu's ears, "Haha, Xiao Yi, you still have a strong bookworm aura! It's great that you can come to help your uncle out."

  The newcomer was Zhou Hao's old man, Zhou Xinglong. Xiao Yi had been deeply loved by him since he was a child, and even now, he would often invite Xiao Yi to his home for dinner every few days. Xiao Yi's relationship with him was no different from that of a half-son.

  "Hello, Uncle Zhou." Chu Yu easily took on the role with Xiao Yi's complete thoughts and asked casually, "How are you?" Then he reached into his sleeve and pulled out a square-shaped jade stone, presenting it to him: "Uncle Zhou, congratulations on your new store opening. This is my gift to you, I carved this jade myself. Wishing you all the best and a prosperous business."

  Taking the square jade stone handed over by Xiao Yi, Zhou Xinglong laughed and said: "Carved by yourself? That must have taken a lot of thought. Uncle Zhou is delighted to see you come, and now you've given this generous gift to your uncle. You're thoughtful, and I accept the gift. From now on, come visit me often, you little scamp. You should be sixteen now, right? You're not young anymore, it's time for you to experience some adult games. Don't worry, as long as you speak up tonight, I'll arrange an unforgettable passionate night for you... Haha... Just like the year your uncle and aunt moved in together when we were seventeen..."

  Chu Yu heard the words and didn't take the back door, this Zhou Bo Bo is really an extraordinary person, with the identity of a senior talking to a half-sized boy who hasn't even turned 16 yet, ordinary people can't do it. With such a "broad-minded" old dad who has reached the point of being out of tune, no wonder Zhou Hao would take "mixing" as his life goal.

  He saw Zhou Xinglong put the jade he had given him into his pocket, and Chu Yu's mouth curled up in a faint smile. This mid-to-low-grade jade had been carved and refined by himself for over an hour, and it already possessed some of the characteristics of a protective jade amulet. Due to the lack of true yuan energy, it was only able to store and build a micro-defense array within the jade using his inner breath, making its effectiveness at most one-tenth that of a real protective jade amulet. Moreover, it would be rendered useless after a single use, but it could at least ensure his safety once.

  "This time you're a trustworthy kid, what are you doing standing outside the door? Hurry up and come in." Zhou Xinglong had just welcomed another group of friends who came to show their support when Zhou Hao rushed out from inside the door and grabbed Xiao Yi.

  Entering the VIP room, Chu Yu naturally had no discomfort or awkwardness, and sat down stiffly after looking around at the three young men in the room except for Zhou Hao, smiled and nodded to the three of them as a greeting.

  "How was your National Day holiday, I feel that you're a bit different now." Zhou Hao found Xiao Yi's calmness somewhat strange, but this guy was a complete simpleton, and after saying just half a sentence, he started chuckling, "This is how it should be, coming out to play is all about having fun, being open-minded makes for a more enjoyable time. Come on, let me introduce you, these three are my good brothers, and in the Putuo area, they're all well-known figures."

  Zhou Hao first pointed to a young man with a flat head and said, "Zhang Qingping, you have to call him Ci Tou. This guy has a bit of a temper, but he's absolutely loyal. Do you still remember that time three months ago when I was beaten up and hospitalized? Later, it was Ci Tou who single-handedly took revenge on those five thugs who beat me up, breaking their arms and legs. After that fight, this kid also ended up in the hospital with me, almost fully bandaged and bedridden for two months. He's only just been discharged from the hospital not long ago, haha."

  Ci Tou seemed to be a man of few words, and after nodding at Chu Yu, he considered the greeting done. Chu Yu had exceptional eyesight, and with one glance, he could see through Ci Tou's nature. He was also a straightforward person, although being a cultivator set him apart from ordinary people. However, when it came to the type of people he liked to interact with, there was no distinction - he loved making friends with those who were bold and forthright. Reaching out his hand first, he grasped Ci Tou's, whose expression showed slight surprise, "Brothers acknowledged by Zhou Hao are my brothers too. This is our first meeting, let's have a drink to start."

  After finishing speaking, Chu Yu raised his hand and picked up the glass of Chivas Regal on the table, drinking it all in one gulp, with an indescribable composure.

  He didn't expect that this bookish-looking young man would make such a bold move, and he was stunned for a moment before also raising his cup to drink it dry. Just over a cup of wine, the relationship between the two had already become much closer.

  "You little brat... can't believe it! Have you changed your ways? Zhou Hao looked at Chu Yu with some incredulity, and punched him on the shoulder, laughing: "To be honest, you little brat now has a bit of a gangster tone to you, haha."

  "Come out and play... In the years since I entered this world thirty years ago, I've had a lot of contact with both black and white forces. Hong Kong's Hung Hing Society, Taiwan's Bamboo Union, Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi, Russia's White Gloves, and Sicily's Black Hand have all been involved to some extent. What kind of scene haven't I seen? What kind of people haven't I dealt with? These are really just small stuff, but it's also fun to reminisce about the good old days..."

  Following Zhou Hao's introduction, Chu Yu toasted and drank with the other two people, the wine was finished, and they knew each other. The next content is naturally the nightclub's special project - calling a lady.

  In their room, the oldest was Zhang Qingping, but this "old" was also limited - only seventeen. The several half-grown boys had some experience with men and women, but calling a girl in a nightclub was absolutely their first time.

  Fortunately, there is Zhou Hao, a young master who has a deep understanding of "family businesses". Although he had never called a hostess to sit with him before, he had been frequenting his father's nightclub since he was 10 years old. He was more experienced in these matters than those guys who got drunk at the nightclub every night.

  "Little Zhang, go and get Dandan to come over. Tell her to bring a batch of high-quality ones. You tell her that if any of my brothers don't choose a girl to sit at the table today, I'll be asking her."

  Xiao Zhang is the "young master" brought by Zhou Xinglong to the old courtyard, and naturally knows what kind of person Zhou Hao is. After nodding and bowing out of the door, he rushed straight to Miss's room.

  After about five minutes, the door of the private room opened gently, and a slender woman with light makeup entered from outside the door, who should be Dandan Mommy summoned by Zhou Hao.

  It's clear that this woman knows how to dress up and conceal the marks of time, whether it's her attire or demeanor, all exuding a charming aura. After entering, she sat down beside Zhou Hao, hooked his arm and softly said: "Hello, young master!"

  "These are all brothers who have been through thick and thin with me, my old man's new store is opening, they came to show their support, what do you think I should do to entertain them?" Zhou Hao said calmly, allowing DanDan's ample breasts to press tightly against his side, as he lit a Marlboro cigarette with a carefree expression.

  Dandan apparently was very familiar with Zhou Hao, and after a soft rebuke, said: "Young master, are you still not at ease with the girl I brought out? You can rest assured..."

  While speaking, Dandan swept her beautiful eyes over Chu Yu and the other three men several times, then smiled coyly and said: "Young master, these few brothers of yours are all so handsome and charming. If my girls were to fight over them, what would I do?"

  "Stop messing with me, hurry up."

  With a "pop" sound, Zhou Hao lit the cigarette between his fingers, took a deep drag, blew out a smoke ring and cursed with a smile.
