Chapter 369: Chapter 369: A Call to Action!
At this point, all the guests present became anxious, breaking out in a cold sweat for the Gao Family!

The tables had turned, and if at this point, more people came out in support of Huang Xiaolong, the Gao Family would not have a shred of dignity left!
After all, it was the eightieth birthday of Old Master Gao, he was the man of the hour, and each guest present was invited by him. Yet, many of them choose to betray the Gao Family at this crucial moment, siding with their enemies!
Even some of the guests were starting to feel sympathetic towards Old Master Gao!
“Little Long!”
The twin sisters of the Shu Family, Shu Qinghan and Shu Qinglan, got up and walked resolutely towards Huang Xiaolong.
After taking the ancient medicine, Shu Qinglan, now standing at a height of 172 centimeters and looking elegantly poised, glanced at Huang Xiaolong with a peculiar gaze as she walked.

It was a gaze that said – “I belong to you.”
“Our Shu Family stands with this young man,” said the current helmsman of the Shu Family, Old Master Shu, with a cunning gleam in his eyes. He led his clan and walked over to Huang Xiaolong’s side.
The parents of Shu Qinghan and Shu Qinglan had quietly informed Old Master Shu about Huang Xiaolong’s true background.
As the most successful businessman in Binhai, Old Master Shu naturally understood the potential benefits Huang Xiaolong could bring to the Shu Family.
The secret formula of the ancient medicine was capable of placing anyone, any family, at the pinnacle of the world!
As a businessman, one would certainly choose the side most profitable to them after weighing the pros and cons!
Seeing that the entire Shu Family had also chosen to betray him and stand with Huang Xiaolong, Old Master Gao’s face turned somewhat pale.
The events of today were the most embarrassing, humiliating and disgraceful incidents he had faced in his eighty-year life!
He felt his reputation, status, and respect in Binhai were less than that of a mere peasant!
Old Master Gao deeply questioned his life!
However…
Old Master Gao looked towards the distinguished guests from Beijing, his heart settling a bit.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
At least for now, though most of the local bigwigs of Binhai were siding with Huang Xiaolong despite risking offending the Gao Family, the influential figures from Beijing stood by the Gao Family.
‘Hmph! Binhai? With the events of today, I have come to realize that all the major families of Binhai disliked the Gao Family from long ago. Now that our fortune is waning, they are eager to claim their share of our benefits? Well, fine then. If need be, we the Gao family can relocate to Beijing! Our growth potential in Beijing will surely exceed that in a remote place like Binhai!’
With things as they are, Old Master Gao had no option but to consider a backup plan for the Gao Family.
“Well, since all of you have chosen to support this little bastard, I have nothing more to say…” Old Master Gao said, his voice trembling.
However—
“Wait… I support him.” A young master from Beijing suddenly stood up and walked towards Huang Xiaolong.
“Huh?” Huang Xiaolong didn’t have any connection with this person, in fact, he didn’t even know him. Upon reflection, he realized that this must be one of the young masters he saw in the private club when Lin Zicong brought him there.
Huang Xiaolong didn’t expect that this guy would choose to side with him despite their brief acquaintance.
Actually, it wasn’t all that surprising. That night, Huang Xiaolong had defeated the four bodyguards of Young Master Yan and had publicly humiliated Yan Pianpian, earning the utmost respect from these second generation rich kids from Beijing.
They didn’t have any deep relationship with the Gao Family to begin with, so when the time came to pick a side, they naturally sided with the prodigiously talented Huang Xiaolong.
Suddenly, several others from Beijing also stood up and walked over to the lawn already filled with a significant number of people.
“Impossible! Impossible! How is this possible?” Old Master Gao was totally drenched in cold sweat, fear starting to well up inside him.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
Who exactly was this country farmer?
What exactly is his background?
Why is it that he can command such obedience, even from the nobles who ventured from Beijing, who unconditionally support him?
“This…this doesn’t make sense…there’s just no way…” Old Master Gao looked at Miss Yan Pianpian of the Yan Family from Beijing, with a helpless gaze.
‘Miss Yan Pianpian, from the venerable Yan Family in Beijing, is a Martial Arts Grandmaster in legend! Such a character, if born in ancient times, would be capable of beheading generals among millions of troops as easily as reaching into a bag… It can be said, Miss Yan Pianpian is the most esteemed guest at my eightieth birthday celebration today… As long as she still supports me, as long as the Yan Family supports me…my Gao Family still has hope!’
With this thought, Old Master Gao, like a drowning man grasping a lifesaving straw, respectfully said to Yan Pianpian. “Miss Yan Pianpian, today, I’ve made a fool of myself… Alas… I’ve spent over half my life, and still failed to discern who are true friends and who are real enemies…”
As Old Master Gao was chattering on to Yan Pianpian, suddenly!
Huang Xiaolong looked at Yan Pianpian with a playful gaze, and with an air of nonchalance, beckoned her with his finger.
“You!” Yan Pianpian was a mixture of embarrassment, fury, and fear, biting her teeth tightly.
She could never forget the humiliation Huang Xiaolong inflicted on her that night; her buttocks were still sore and swollen to this day.
Nor could she forget the despair Huang Xiaolong brought her that night!
Within a hundred steps, he took lives as easily as slaughtering animals!
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
As a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Yan Pianpian understood Huang Xiaolong’s techniques better than anyone else!
At this moment, she dared not defy Huang Xiaolong!
Yan Pianpian stood up!
“Yan…Miss Yan Pianpian… You…what are you…” Old Master Gao was beside himself with horror!
“We…let’s go…” Yan Pianpian said to her followers with a stern face, then walked directly towards Huang Xiaolong with graceful steps.
“Has the Yan Family…also abandoned my Gao Family?” Old Master Gao felt like the sky was falling!
By now, most of the influential guests at his eightieth birthday banquet had sided with Huang Xiaolong!
But!
It wasn’t over yet!
The other guests who had not yet taken a side, started gravitating towards Huang Xiaolong after a brief evaluation!
Some guests were already friends with the Lin Family, Sun Family, or Shu Family, and naturally they followed these families when they took sides.
Some analyzed the situation and realized that the Gao Family was being isolated. Remaining on the Gao Family’s side at this point would likely disadvantage them in the future.

Besides, humans are the most herd-like creatures. To put it bluntly, most people are like grass growing atop a wall, swaying whichever way the wind blows. Seeing the rise of Huang Xiaolong, they naturally chose to support him.
Soon, the once vacant lawn that Huang Xiaolong had pointed to was densely packed with people.
The ones still siding with the Gao Family were either the Gao Family members themselves, or underworld figures like ruthless bandits, assassins, members of the Eagle Claw Brotherhood, foreign mercenaries…
“Hehehe…” Huang Xiaolong sneered at Old Master Gao. “Do you understand now what is meant by ‘those along the right path will gain many helpers while those along the wrong path will have few?’ Old Man Gao, do you feel the sensation of being deserted by all alleys?”
On the stage, the people of the Gao Family felt a deep chill in their hearts!
They felt true fear!
This was not out of fear for Huang Xiaolong’s strength, but for Huang Xiaolong’s ability to rally supporters! And also, Huang Xiaolong’s intriguing background!
