Chapter 625: Chapter 625

Seeing Wang Zhiyuan come in, Dongfang Yue, who had been beaten to a pulp, immediately perked up and yelled.

Wang Zhiyuan listened to his voice, which sounded familiar; then he took a closer look at his face, barely recognized him, and gasped in shock, "You are Dongfang..."

"I am Dongfang Yue, Dongfang Dian is my dad! Hurry, call my dad!"

Dongfang Yue urged anxiously.

Wang Zhiyuan glanced at Fang Bai and the others, saw they were all unfamiliar faces, and quietly asked a server, finding out they were not guests there to dine, his expression immediately darkened.

He had the security guard block the door to the Fortune Hall, preventing the assailants, Fang Bai and the others, from escaping, and then took out his cell phone to call Dongfang Dian.

Dongfang Dian and his son Dongfang Yue were regular customers at the hotel, and Manager Wang Zhiyuan was very familiar with both of them.

Fang Bai sat quietly at the dining table, watching Wang Zhiyuan call Dongfang Dian, a hint of a mocking smile on his lips.

It had been more than ten minutes since he called Dongfang Leiming, and if he was right, Dongfang Yue’s father Dongfang Dian should have already heard about the matter, and he might very well be on his way here, possibly even already arrived if he was fast enough.

Hotel Manager Wang Zhiyuan had just found Dongfang Dian’s mobile number and was about to dial when he suddenly heard a burst of urgent footsteps from outside.

The next moment, seven or eight men, surrounding a middle-aged man, surged into the not-so-large "Fortune Hall".

The seven or eight men, all in black suits, were clearly dressed as bodyguards.

The middle-aged man was wearing a dark gray jacket, slightly balding, and his features bore some resemblance to the Dongfang Family’s head, Dongfang Leiming; his face was colored with shades of worry and anxiety.

The balding middle-aged man was none other than Dongfang Leiming’s second son and Dongfang Yue’s father, Dongfang Dian.

Earlier, upon receiving a phone call from Fang Bai and learning that his grandson Dongfang Yue had led people to beat Fang Bai’s disciple, and Fang Bai was on his way to seek justice with his disciple, Dongfang Leiming was simultaneously shocked, angry, and anxious.

Fang Bai was a martial artist, and martial artists usually had short tempers and often acted without regard for the consequences. Dongfang Leiming was worried that Fang Bai, upon finding his grandson Dongfang Yue, would severely punish him. Without further thought, he immediately instructed his second son Dongfang Dian to hurry to the scene, and he reminded Dongfang Dian to be respectful to Fang Bai, regardless of the situation on-site, to obtain Fang Bai’s forgiveness.

After Dongfang Dian left, Dongfang Leiming thought about his second son’s narrow-mindedness and worried that he, in his eagerness to protect his son, might lose his temper and come into conflict with Fang Bai. Thus, he immediately had Lin Ruoxue, Dongfang Rushi, and Dongfang Ruhua, the mother and daughters, rush to the scene to plead with Fang Bai.

Dongfang Leiming knew that Lin Ruoxue and her daughters were on good terms with Fang Bai, especially his granddaughter Dongfang Ruhua, who was both a student and a friend to Fang Bai. Fang Bai treated her like a sister, doting on her immensely. With Dongfang Ruhua’s presence, there might be more room for the situation to improve.

After Lin Ruoxue and her daughters left, the more Dongfang Leiming thought about it, the angrier he became; he smashed several glasses, thinking that his grandsons Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Yue never did anything good but always managed to cause trouble. They were becoming profligates; when Dongfang Yue returned, even if Fang Bai spared him, he himself would have to punish him severely to prevent him from bringing disaster to the family in the future.

"Mr. Dongfang, your timing is perfect, I was just about to call you..."

In the Fortune Hall of Four Seasons Spring Hotel, Wang Zhiyuan greeted Dongfang Dian as he arrived, but before he could finish his sentence, Dongfang Dian pushed him aside.

As soon as Dongfang Dian entered the Fortune Hall, the first thing he saw was his son lying on the ground, beaten beyond recognition, and he cried out in agony, quickly stepping forward to lift his son up, and asked with reddened eyes, "Son... how are you?"

"Dad, if you had been any later, they would have killed me! Dad, you must take revenge for me!"

Dongfang Yue, seeing that his father had rushed over with the family bodyguards, clung to one of his father’s arms, sobbing with snot and tears, and pointed at Fang Bai and the others, speaking with a fierce tone.

Dongfang Dian stood up abruptly, his gaze fixed on Fang Bai and the others like a wolf. When his eyes rested on Fang Bai’s face, he was slightly startled and immediately remembered the instructions of his father, Dongfang Leiming, before coming over.

According to Dongfang Leiming, regardless of whether Dongfang Yue was at fault, they had to make him apologize to Fang Bai and seek his forgiveness, then return home to await punishment.

As Dongfang Yue’s father, although Dongfang Dian felt resentful about this, he dared not disobey, as the Old Master held absolute authority in the family.

As for Fang Bai, Dongfang Dian had only met him once at Dongfang Ruhua’s birthday banquet and hadn’t had any other contact with him. However, he had heard some things about the young man from his father, knew that he practiced both medicine and martial arts, and was not to be underestimated. His father was extremely grateful to him, held him in high esteem, and Lin Ruoxue, his sister-in-law, and her two daughters, Dongfang Rushi and Dongfang Ruhua, also had good relationships with him.

Like other wealthy families, the Dongfang Family had many internal conflicts. Dongfang Dian and his siblings fought over power and wealth, resulting in discord. Especially since the Old Master entrusted many important family businesses to his third brother’s wife, Lin Ruoxue, and her daughter Dongfang Rushi, this intensified Dongfang Dian’s grievances and secret animosity.

By association, anyone who had a good relationship with his third brother’s family, including Fang Bai, naturally received no goodwill from Dongfang Dian.

Despite this, Dongfang Dian did not dare disobey the words his father had instructed. He originally thought that if the conflict between his son and Fang Bai was not deep, he would let his son apologize to Fang Bai to resolve the matter.

What Dongfang Dian had not expected was that upon arriving at the scene, he would see his son beaten to such a state, which caused his blood to boil with anger, making him forget all his father’s previous instructions.

"Fang Bai! Regardless of what happened between you and my son, you’ve beaten him to this state, and today you’re going to give me an explanation!"

Dongfang Dian said bitterly, his chilling gaze fixed on Fang Bai’s face, his eyes shimmering with a sharp light.

The eight black-clad bodyguards who accompanied Dongfang Dian also stepped a few paces closer to Fang Bai and his group at this moment, confining them within a small area.

All eight bodyguards were martial artists, among whom four were at Yellow Level Perfection, just one step away from stepping into the Profound Level realm. Their encirclement instantly put tremendous pressure on Xiong Yingxiong, Xie Min, Lin Dahu, and Zhao Qiang.

Xiong Yingxiong, having undergone the Marrow Cleansing, was better able to withstand the pressure, but Xie Min, Lin Dahu, and Zhao Qiang turned pale, their legs went weak, and they looked like they might collapse at any moment.
