Chapter 188: 188
After Wei Dong’s drama, there was a subtle change in the way everyone looked at Ye Chen in the private room .
Even though that was the case, Wei Nan, Xue Lei, Su Jian, and the rest did not care . To them, Wei Dong was merely someone who lingered outside the Beijing wealthy family’s circle and was no one prominent .
Li Yuanqing, Han Xu, and some of them who were closer to Ye Chen secretly nodded . They began to take Ye Chen seriously now .
Because Zhang Daniu was injured, Ye Chen wanted to leave first . Yan Ning sent them back out of kindness, so the gathering ended just like that .
After the bill was paid, the bunch of people walked out of Pleasantville one after another . Xue Lei walked over while smiling after Zhang Daniu and Huang Pei had gotten into Yan Ning’s car while Ye Chen was just getting in .
He said softly, “I don’t care whether you’re Miracle Doctor Ye or whoever . I’m warning you to not even think of getting close to Yan Ning . Stay away from her, or…”
“Or what?” Ye Chen looked at him expressionlessly .
Xue Lei’s voice was deep as he threatened, “Or I’ll make you vanish from this world anytime . You’d better not doubt my ability . ”
“Here’s a warning for you too . ” Ye Chen smirked . “You won’t die if you’re not seeking death!”
‘Seeking death?!’ Killing intent flashed through Xue Lei’s eyes .
At that moment, Yan Ning, who was in the car, popped her head out and asked in confusion, “What are you guys mumbling about? Get in . ”
Ye Chen smiled coldly and subsequently got into the car . Yan Ning then drove away .
Xue Lei stood where he was while watching the car leaving . Su Jian sauntered over with a playful smirk at the corner of his lips . “Do you want me to get rid of him for you?”
“No need . ” Xue Lei left right after saying that . He took his phone out and seemed to be talking to someone while walking .
…
Ye Chen got Yan Ning to drive the car straight to the medicine hall .
Huang Pei helped Zhang Daniu into the store . With bloodshot eyes, she rummaged through the cabinets to look for medication for him while speaking, “Brother Daniu, why don’t I send you to the hospital?”
“There’s no need . I’m fine . I don’t want to waste money at the hospital . ” Zhang Daniu smiled in a foolish manner . He lifted his head to look at Ye Chen, appearing guilty . “Boss, I’m sorry to have created trouble for you today . ”
“Brother Daniu, it has nothing to do with you . It was I who created the trouble and caused you to be beaten up,” Huang Pei covered her lips and said, looking terrified, “Boss, fire me if you want . This has nothing to do with Brother Daniu . ”
“Who said that I’m firing you guys?” Ye Chen smiled in an awkward manner . He looked at Zhang Daniu and assured while smiling, “Daniu, you did great today . You’re courageous . Work hard here . ”
“Thank you, Brother Chen . ”
“Thank you, Boss . ”
Zhang Daniu and Huang Pei were over the moon . She then took out the first aid kit after releasing a sigh of relief . “Don’t move, Brother Daniu . I’ll apply medicine for you . ”
“Peipei, don’t stand so close to me . I’ll be cheating on Cui Hua if you do . ” Zhang Daniu blushed deeply .
Ye Chen was speechless . Zhang Daniu certainly deserved to be single given his behavior .
He shook his head and asked both of them to go home soon . He then returned to the villa Lin Tai purchased while carrying his daughter .
The night was quiet .
The next morning, Wang Meng called to report, “My lord, bad news . The people from the Fast Attack Group are here for protection fees again . They’re blocking the entrance, so our customers can’t go in . ”
“I’ll be right there!”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen urged his daughter to get up . He carried her out after washing up and headed straight to the Qi Medicine Hall in a cab .
As soon as the car pulled over, Ye Chen saw over ten people gathered at the door of the medicine hall . All of them wore suits and ties . Nobody dared to stop and watch at all as they clearly feared those people .
The racket of an argument between Zhang Daniu and someone else was heard among the crowd .
As he got out of the car with Mengmeng, Ye Chen saw Zhang Daniu guarding the medicine hall entrance with a boning knife in his hand . Zhang Daniu was glaring at the unwelcomed group furiously .
Meanwhile, Huang Fugui and Huang Pei were hiding in the store . Obviously terrified, they dared not get out .
A young man who had a grim expression and long hair held a cigarette in his mouth . He looked at Zhang Daniu in a playful manner . “Dummy, get your boss to come out . Otherwise, don’t blame me, Long Hair, and my brothers from destroying this stupid store of yours . ”
“I won’t hold back on defending the store from whoever dares to come forward . ” Zhang Daniu gripped the boning knife in his hand tightly . Cold sweat filled his palms . He was actually scared, but he put on a strong front .
Long Hair tossed the cigarette butt onto the floor and waved his hand after stepping on it . A brutal smirk appeared at the corner of his lips as he commanded, “Go, crush this store and cripple him . ”
Zhang Daniu shut his eyes by instinct upon hearing that . Huang Fugui and Huang Pei, who were in the store, had a change in expression . They thought that was the end of Zhang Daniu .
A cold voice subsequently came booming, “Go ahead and try!”
The people turned their heads to see a young man carrying a four- to five-year-old girl and walking over slowly . The young man looked calm as if he did not see the terrible commotion before him .
Elated, Zhang Daniu said anxiously, “Boss, B-Brother Chen, run . Run now!”
Although he was foolish, he was not stupid . These people were here for Ye Chen . If they captured him, he would end up in devastation .
“Run? Where are you going to run?” Long Hair snickered and took a good look at Ye Chen fearlessly . “Brat, so you’re the boss of this medicine hall? Aren’t you supposed to pay this month’s protection fees?”
“Boss, don’t listen to them . ” Huang Fugui walked out furiously and said standing behind Zhang Daniu, “You guys are pushing us over . We’ve just paid the protection fees a few days ago . ”
“Whoever told you that you’re allowed to speak, you old fart?!” Long Hair glared dangerously at him and grinned as he spoke, “This is our Fast Attack Group’s territory . We decide how many times you’ll have to pay per month . If you guys don’t pay up, then we’re smashing your store . ”
“You…” Huang Fugui was pissed off, but there was nothing that he could do about it .
Ye Chen responded to him extremely coldly, “How much are you guys asking for this time?”
Zhang Daniu and the other two had a change in expression hearing that . Disappointment filled their eyes when they looked at Ye Chen .
Long Hair laughed out loud instantly, the pride on his face obvious . “You’re wise . Pay 100,000 yuan up now . ”
“100,000 yuan? Why don’t you rob a bank instead?!” Huang Fugui almost spat blood from his rage . They usually paid 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per month, and now the gangsters were asking for 100,000 yuan . Meanwhile, the store only made a clean profit of less than 20,000 yuan .
“That’s right . I’m robbing you guys . What are you going to do about it?” Long Hair was smirking instead of being pissed . His eyes turned cold suddenly as he yelled, “I’m saying this one last time . You either pay up or I’ll destroy the store!”
Huang Fugui could not help but look at Ye Chen . He was panicking because he knew that his boss could not pay that kind of money . As soon as the store was destroyed, they would lose their jobs .
Zhang Daniu held the boning knife tightly . He secretly decided that he would protect Ye Chen no matter what as soon as these bunch of people attacked .
However, Ye Chen glanced at Long Hair with a dangerous glint in his eyes . “I wonder how much your arms and legs are worth . ”
“What did you say?” Long Hair opened his eyes wide and laughed hysterically . “Worth, my a*s!”
Whoosh!
He charged at Ye Chen instantly and grinned . “Have you seen a fist that’s as big as a sandbag?”
Zhang Daniu wanted to stop him by instinct .
However, the crowd felt dizzy from watching whatever that happened before them in the next second . A silhouette was thrown out directly, smashing against the store glass door instantly .
The glass door crashed into smithereens loudly, leaving shards all over the ground . Meanwhile, Long Hair was groaning while lying sprawled on the glass shards .
Ye Chen, on the other hand, stood where he was while carrying his child as if nothing had happened .
There was dead silence . One would hear be able to hear the drop of a pin .
Everyone’s mouths were wide open as they watched that in disbelief . Their minds were blank as they did not see what happened clearly at all .
“Kill him!”
Long Hair got up from the ground . His face was filled with blood, and he looked resentful .
The ten-odd men who stood there blankly only snapped back to their senses after hearing his instruction . They jostled against other as they charged at Ye Chen with their weapons .
Ye Chen looked calm as usual . He walked toward Long Hair one step after another while carrying his daughter as if he did not notice the people that were charging at him .
Bang, bang, bang…
The charging assailants felt a terrifying force coming at them as soon as they approached him . Subsequently, they were shot out with either their arms or their legs broken .
During the commotion, Ye Chen did not do anything . Meanwhile, the assailants did not even touch the hem of his shirt .
Both Zhang Daniu and Huang Fugui were stunned . Disbelief filled Huang Pei’s face . Their boss was so powerful!
Long Hair was horrified by what just happened . He could not help but take a step back upon seeing Ye Chen approaching him one step after another . He said ferociously, “Wh-what are you trying to do?”
“How much are your arms and legs worth?” Ye Chen looked at him expressionlessly .
Long Hair was stunned at first, then fear flashed through his face . He said instinctively, “N-no…”
Before he was done speaking, he felt a force that he could not withstand land on him . He knelt onto the ground, the glass pieces piercing deep into his thighs .
He failed to move .
Crack!
The cracking of joints was heard .
Long Hair’s right arm twisted on its own . Soon, it looked like fried twisted dough . His left arm subsequently twisted .
“Let me go . I’m begging you…” Long Hair begged while groaning . Fear filled his eyes that were looking at Ye Chen desperately .
Crack!
Another cracking sound came .
Both of his legs twisted 180 degrees and his kneecaps twisted towards his butt .
“Monster, y-you’re a monster!”
Long Hair felt like he was going to pass out from the agony .
Ye Chen said coldly, “Who sent you here? Who is the Fast Attack Group leader?”
“Our leader is an ancient martial artist . He won’t let you go . You’ll die a devastating death . ” Long Hair’s whole body was twitching .
“Really? Neither will I let him go . ” Ye Chen grinned . “Don’t worry . I won’t kill you . Go back and tell your leader that I, Ye Chen, am asking how many heads he has for me to sever!”
