Thinking about this, Liu Dong felt a bit relieved.
Fortunately, he had been clean all these years, not allowing these big shots to distance themselves from him because of these underground matters. Over the years, he had done a lot for these big shots, and it was only fair that they would help him.
The big shots Liu Dong referred to were naturally the few prestigious companies in the city of magic.
Among these companies, there were many national leading enterprises in a certain industry, and many enterprises that could interact with the government.
Don't look at these as just companies, but the complex interests within large enterprises meant that these big shots were not to be trifled with.
Their resources, connections, backgrounds, and power were all overwhelming compared to Liu Dong.
In Liu Dong's view, if he, the local snake, couldn't handle Gu Chenan, then these big company people could definitely make Gu Chenan submit.
After all, Gu Chenan was just a commoner with a dozen troublesome bodyguards.
For a leading enterprise in an industry to deal with an ordinary person was as easy as squashing an ant.
"Shh!"
With this thought, Liu Dong made a shushing gesture and dialed a number.
Soon, the phone was picked up, and Liu Dong immediately began to flatteringly greet, "Hello, Mr. Zhang, it's me, Little Liu from the city of magic. I'm sorry to disturb you so late."
"Ah, no problem, I'm not in the country right now, and it's just morning here, no disturbance. What's the matter?" A deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
"No wonder," Liu Dong chuckled, "It's like this, I had a conflict with someone in the city of magic. Not only did he beat up my daughter, but he also humiliated me several times. I was wondering if Mr. Zhang could help me teach him a lesson."
"Oh?" The person on the other end sounded surprised, "There's something you, Liu Dong, can't handle in the city of magic?"
"Mr. Zhang, you're joking," Liu Dong flattered, "To be honest, I'm just a fox borrowing the tiger's might under Mr. Zhang's name. No matter where Mr. Zhang is, isn't the city of magic still your territory?"
"Hahaha."
Liu Dong's flattery made the other person feel comfortable, and he laughed heartily before asking, "Sure, sure. If someone dares to humiliate you, it means they don't take me seriously. Tell me, who is it? I'll arrange it right away."
Hearing this, Liu Dong's eyes lit up, and he straightened up.
"He's the gigolo boyfriend of the president of that small company, Caiying."
"Caiying?" The person on the other end paused, clearly not having heard of the name.
"It's just a local cosmetics company in our city of magic, not worth mentioning," Liu Dong explained.
"Just tell me the man's name directly, so I can make arrangements," the other person urged.
"Alright, alright," Liu Dong nodded and said, "His name is Gu Chenan."
"Who?"
The other person was shocked and quickly asked, "Say it again, what's his name?"
This reaction confused Liu Dong, and he repeated, "His name is Gu Chenan."
"Gu..."
The other person paused and quickly said, "The young master of the Gu family, Gu Chenan?"
Before Liu Dong could react, the other person anxiously said, "Liu Dong, are you crazy? You dare to have a conflict with Young Master Gu?"
"Even if you have a conflict with Young Master Gu, there's no need to drag me into it, right? I've treated you well all these years, haven't I?"
Listening to the other person's panicked tone on the phone, Liu Dong was completely baffled.
He was Gu Chenan's father's childhood friend, in other words, he had watched Gu Chenan grow up and knew exactly what kind of family background Gu Chenan had.
But today, first, those black-clad bodyguards called Gu Chenan Young Master Gu, and now his old friend called Gu Chenan Young Master Gu, which left him completely puzzled.
"No, no, Mr. Zhang, you must have misunderstood," Liu Dong quickly said, "The Gu Chenan I'm talking about can't be the Young Master Gu you mentioned. He's just an ordinary person, recently just relying on the president of Caiying."
"Really?" The other person was skeptical.
"Absolutely true, Mr. Zhang. Although I don't know who the Young Master Gu you mentioned is, I can tell from your respect for him that I wouldn't be so foolish as to seek trouble with that Young Master Gu," Liu Dong said.
After pondering for a moment, the other person finally nodded, "For safety's sake, let me confirm it first. Call me back later."
"Alright, alright."
Liu Dong immediately nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Dong looked puzzled and scratched his head.
"What's wrong, Liu Zong?"
Li Lin and Wang Hu, seeing Liu Dong's puzzled expression, both walked up.
Liu Dong rubbed the stubble on his chin and said, "Young Master Gu, do you know who Young Master Gu is?"
Wang Hu paused and blinked, "Didn't the black-clad bodyguards under Gu Chenan call him Young Master Gu?"
"It can't be him," Liu Dong waved his hand, "I mean, among the big shots you've heard of, is there one called Young Master Gu?"
Wang Hu and Li Lin exchanged a glance, then shook their heads, "Never heard of it."
"Right, we're just small fries, how could we have heard of those big shots," Liu Dong said, returning to the main topic, "Alright, never mind that. I've already asked a big shot for help, and that Gu Chenan is definitely doomed!"
"Liu Zong, I don't doubt you, but don't you want to ask more people for help? After all, that Gu..."
Before Wang Hu could finish, Liu Dong waved his hand to interrupt, "Heh, of course not. This time, Gu Chenan is definitely doomed!"
After saying that, Liu Dong stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and paced around the living room for a while. Suddenly, he said to Wang Hu, "You go spread the word now that I, Liu Dong, have started my revenge, and this time, with the help of a big shot, I will definitely take care of Gu Chenan!"
Then, Liu Dong sighed helplessly, "I can't let people on the internet keep discussing this anymore. I've already lost enough face today. If they keep focusing on this matter, I really won't be able to survive in the city of magic!"
"Yes, Liu Zong."
Wang Hu nodded.
