Su Bo walked up to Xu Dong, his face cold as he looked at the crowd. 520 official website

The security guard, seeing Su Bo, was both surprised and frightened. Before he could even speak, Su Bo's angry voice rang in his ear: "Mr. Xu is my friend. How can you two insult him so casually? Apologize now!"

Hearing Su Bo's commanding tone, the security guard trembled and hurriedly bowed to Xu Dong, stammering, "Mr. Xu, I failed to recognize your greatness. Please forgive me!"

"Mr. Xu, some people are blind and look down on others. Don't be angry," Su Bo said, turning to look at Xu Dong.

"It's fine, it's not a big deal. Let's go in," Xu Dong replied, his expression calm, showing no concern for what had just happened. After all, there were many such people in society, and it wasn't worth getting into a confrontation with them.

"This time, Mr. Xu is not holding a grudge against you. In the future, be more careful!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the security guard quickly responded.

However, just as they were about to enter, Su Bo suddenly turned his head, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd. Those who had mocked Xu Dong all lowered their heads, not daring to look up.

Seeing this, Su Bo let out a cold snort and entered the hotel with Xu Dong.

The crowd was abuzz, finding it hard to believe what had just happened.

"Does that guy really know Mr. Su? He's only wearing clothes from a street stall!"

"Some big shots like to keep a low profile. That young man might be the son of a prominent family! If he didn't have some background, would Mr. Su respect him so much?"

"That makes sense. We should be more careful in the future and not offend that young man."

For a moment, everyone speculated about Xu Dong's identity, all realizing that this young man was not to be underestimated…

At the party, Su Bo raised his glass and clinked it against Xu Dong's. "They're just a bunch of clowns. Don't take it to heart, Mr. Xu."

Xu Dong nodded. "I've seen it all before. It's fine."

"Alright, I'll go see a friend. You do as you please."

"Please do."

Xu Dong gently swirled his glass, looking at the dark red liquid inside, feeling a wave of emotion.

"I remember the last time I had a drink was before I went to prison…"

Xu Dong gave a self-deprecating smile, a sense of melancholy in his eyes.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out behind him. "Xu Dong? What are you doing here?!"

Xu Dong was taken aback and turned around. Sure enough, it was Ye Kai and Song Yu, both dressed formally, clearly attending the party as well.

Xu Dong sneered. "You're doing well enough to attend a party now."

"Hmph, Xu Dong, don't try to change the subject!"

"We were invited to the party, but I bet you snuck in. I remember clearly that your name, Xu Dong, wasn't on the guest list. After all, who would invite a murderer?"

Ye Kai's words were filled with coldness, and he emphasized the word "murderer" loudly. Many people in the room heard him, and dozens of eyes turned to Xu Dong.

Even a few timid waitresses standing near Xu Dong, upon hearing he was a "murderer," dropped their trays in shock, causing a commotion.

"This man is Xu Dong. He owes money and instead of paying it back, he stabbed the debt collector to death. And he was just released from prison yesterday and sneaked into the party today."

Ye Kai shouted, as if afraid no one would hear him.

"He looks so decent, but turns out to be a murderer. You can't judge a book by its cover!"

"Exactly, this kind of person can do anything. We should stay away from him!"

The crowd was wary, instinctively stepping back and keeping their distance from Xu Dong. Some even called for security.

Xu Dong saw this and gave a cold laugh. "Ye Kai, have you ever heard the saying 'you can't judge a book by its cover'? If you can be invited to this party, why can't I?"

"You say you were invited? Ha ha ha!" Ye Kai laughed, pointing at Xu Dong and demanding, "Who invited you? I want to see who the fool is who dared to invite a murderer. Step forward and let me see!"

"Exactly, who would dare to bring a murderer in? They must be fearless!" someone in the crowd chimed in.

"Mr. Ye is right. How can a murderer be here? And the person who invited him is probably no good either. They should both get out!"

Many in the room knew Ye Kai, after all, he was the general manager of Huafeng Pharmaceutical Group, a high-ranking position that was hard to ignore.

Seeing the crowd's support, Ye Kai felt more confident and looked at Xu Dong with a mocking smile. "Why don't you leave now? If I call for security, it won't be so simple!"

"Oh? Not simple? I'd like to see how you make it not simple!"

As he spoke, Su Bo approached with a grim expression.

"Mr. Xu is my benefactor and my brother. I'd like to see who has the nerve to call my brother a murderer!"

Su Bo's gaze swept the room, and the entire hall fell silent.

Murderer… Oh no, this young man was actually invited by Su Bo, and he is Su Bo's benefactor?

This is too unbelievable!

Ye Kai was completely stunned.

When did Xu Dong, the murderer, become Su Bo's brother?

Such a big deal, and he didn't know about it!

Seeing no one respond, Su Bo turned to Ye Kai and said coldly, "Ye Kai, you're getting too cocky now that you're the deputy general manager. You want to kick out someone I invited? Next, you'll want to kick me out and take over as president, right?"

"No, Mr. Su, I didn't know Xu Dong was your brother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have…"

"Slap!"

Before Ye Kai could finish, Su Bo slapped him hard across the face.

"Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to the company anymore. You have no connection with the company!"

Hearing this, Ye Kai trembled and grabbed Su Bo's sleeve, pleading, "Mr. Su, don't fire me. I've done so much for the company. You have no reason to fire me!"

Ye Kai had worked hard for his position, and his future was almost entirely tied to it. If he was fired by Su Bo, he would have to return to his previous miserable life, which he could not accept.

"Do you want a reason?" Su Bo gave a cold laugh and lowered his voice, "Don't think I don't know about your recent frequent contact with the Sun family. Are you planning to be a corporate spy?"

Ye Kai shuddered. Su Bo's words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling him to the bone.

"Mr. Su, I didn't…"

Su Bo waved his hand. "You don't need to say more! I've already shown leniency by not sending you to the police."

Hearing this, Ye Kai immediately knelt before Xu Dong, sobbing and begging, "Xu Dong, Mr. Xu, I was wrong. It was all my fault. Please help me beg Mr. Su not to fire me. Please, please!"

Seeing Ye Kai's terrified face, Xu Dong felt no pity, only a sense of relief. He replied coldly, "You reap what you sow."

Then, Su Bo waved his hand, signaling the security to take Ye Kai away.

"No, please, Xu Dong, Mr. Su, don't fire me, don't fire me!"

Ye Kai's cries echoed through the hall, growing fainter as he was taken away, and the hall fell silent again.

"Is there anyone else who wants to kick Mr. Xu out? I'm here, let me see who has the nerve!" Su Bo shouted.

The people who had been shouting earlier fell silent. After all, even Ye Kai had been kicked out. Who would dare to speak up now? It would be suicide!

Some even felt relieved that they hadn't looked down on Xu Dong earlier, or they would have been the ones kicked out.

"How… how could this happen?"

Song Yu murmured, her face pale, the scene unfolding like a dream, too surreal to believe.

She never imagined that Xu Dong would know Su Bo, the president of Huafeng Pharmaceutical Group!

She now deeply regretted leaving Xu Dong and being with Ye Kai. If she hadn't, Su Bo would have called her "sister-in-law," how prestigious that would have been!

Moreover, in terms of potential, Xu Dong, who was associated with Su Bo, had a much brighter future than Ye Kai. But she had made a mistake and chosen the wrong person!

Thinking of this, Song Yu rushed to Xu Dong's side, hugging him tightly and sobbing, "Xu Dong, I'm sorry. It was all Ye Kai's fault. You know our family has no power, how could we compete with Ye Kai? My heart still belongs to you. I don't want to be separated from you. I love you. Let's make up, okay?"

Faced with Song Yu's apology, Xu Dong felt nothing, pushing her away and asking, "Song Yu, am I a murderer?"

"No, you're not…" Song Yu cried.

"Come on, tell everyone here what happened four years ago. Who is the real murderer?" Xu Dong's voice grew colder. "Tell the truth, and I might consider forgiving you!"
