Chapter 100 Leveraging the Situation
At that moment, Xue Yang and his three companions were standing at the entrance of the bar, their faces covered in blood and alcohol stains, looking utterly miserable.
He glared venomously at the entrance of Max’s Bar and screamed hysterically, “I’m going to tear this place down! I’ll make that bitch Xue Ruyun beg on her knees! I’m going to fuck her hard!”
“That bitch who was born to be ridden by men, I’ll make her my plaything, I’ll make her my slave. She dares to treat me like this, she must pay the price!”
At this moment, the woman with a swollen face clung to Xue Yang’s arm, sobbing, “Yes, Brother Yang, you must seek justice for me! That man hit me, he actually dared to hit me! I’m Brother Yang’s most cherished woman, and he just hit your woman like that. You must seek justice for me!”
The woman became increasingly upset as she spoke. Being grabbed by the hair and dragged around by a grown man, and slapped so many times, was utterly humiliating!
Xue Yang looked at the woman’s swollen face, a vicious expression flashing across his own. “Of course I’ll seek justice for you. You’re all my people. Let’s go back to the hotel to clean up first, then call Li Yang.”
“I was insulted on his turf. Let’s see how Li Yang handles this. This guy still wants to expand his business to the Southeast, but without my family’s approval, he won’t get anywhere there! He must give me an explanation for this!”
That night, Li Yang was watching models walk the runway as usual. Just as he was getting into it, his phone suddenly rang.
Li Yang looked at the phone and frowned. Most people knew about his habits and that he absolutely hated being disturbed at this time, because after the fashion show, there would be even more exciting scenes. Wasn’t it too annoying to receive a call at such a moment?
Li Yang answered the phone with a frown, his tone harsh: “What is it? Make it quick!”
Xue Yang’s voice came from the other end: “Li Yang, you’re doing quite well for yourself! You don’t even respect me, Xue Yang, anymore!”
Xue Yang from the Xue family!
Hearing these words, Li Yang immediately stood up from the sofa, his face full of shock!
Xue Yang from the Xue family, one of the top young masters in the South – why would he suddenly call him?
After the momentary shock, Li Yang’s face broke into a smile as he said, “So it’s Young Master Xue! Why did you think of calling me? What can I do for you?”
One was a somewhat inflated gang leader, the other a young master from a prominent family. Which one carried more weight wasn’t easy to determine.
Li Yang’s rise to become a so-called gang leader was inseparable from Ninghai being an international metropolis with relatively good public security, making it easier to climb to the top. Compared to other places, there was less bloodshed and fighting, and more diplomacy and networking.
For these reasons, Li Yang lacked the imposing manner of a typical gang leader. He was too shrewd, too opportunistic, and skilled at maneuvering.
However, at this moment, Li Yang needed the Xue family’s support, so he had to act according to their wishes. Recently, Li Yang had been planning to expand his smuggling business to Nanyang Province, and doing business there was impossible without the Xue family’s approval. Therefore, he naturally had to curry favor with the Xue family, especially with Xue Yang, who was likely to inherit the family business.
“How dare I give you orders? It seems Ninghai isn’t a place just anyone can come to!” Xue Yang’s voice carried a strange, sarcastic tone.
Hearing this, Li Yang immediately sensed something was wrong. He had never offended Xue Yang before. Every time he went to Nanyang Province, he would personally visit Xue Yang and bring generous gifts. Logically, the other party shouldn’t have this attitude toward him. Was there some misunderstanding?
“Young Master Xue, what are you saying? I, Li Yang, respect and honor you. How could I not take you seriously?” Li Yang quickly clarified his position: “Young Master Xue, you came to Ninghai without telling me, otherwise I could have shown you proper hospitality. Why don’t I send someone to pick you up now, and we can have some fun at my club?” Li Yang, who was more than ten years older than Xue Yang, still referred to himself as “brother,” truly humbling himself to the dust.
“Have fun at your club? Go have fun with your whole family!”
“Young Master Xue, why are you saying this?” After Xue Yang’s repeatedly disrespectful words, Li Yang was also getting annoyed. Even a man made of mud has his limits, let alone the nominal gang leader of Ninghai.
Xue Yang said viciously, “Why am I saying this? I’m in Ninghai right now, and I got beaten up on your turf!”
“What? You were beaten?” Hearing this, Li Yang’s voice immediately rose by eight octaves, his face full of anger!
This was no joke. Xue Yang was his current patron. If the Xue family approved his business in the South, Li Yang would rake in countless illegal profits! Which idiot in Ninghai dared to beat Xue Yang? This was openly cutting off his source of income!
It should be known that the other party was a prominent young master from a southern province. Being beaten on his turf made Li Yang look like a useless gang leader.
“I was beaten at Max’s Bar, almost had my head split open with a bottle. You figure out what to do. If you don’t handle this well, we can forget about discussing any business in the South!”
With that, Xue Yang hung up the phone abruptly!
And every word made Li Yang’s heart tremble!
Hearing the busy tone from the other end, Li Yang angrily smashed his phone onto the marble coffee table, instantly shattering the perfectly good device!
Seeing the boss angry, all the models stopped, not knowing what to do!
“Stop performing, all of you get out! I have something to deal with today, we’ll continue tomorrow!” Li Yang shouted angrily at the confused models on stage.
Hearing this, the models scattered like startled canaries, rushing out in a crowd.
Li Yang took a few deep breaths and said angrily, “Whoever dares to ruin my good time, I won’t let them off! I want to see who’s so blind as to bully my guest on my turf in Ninghai!”
With that, Li Yang picked up his phone and called Xue Yang again!
The latter was wiping his face in his room. When he saw Li Yang’s call coming in, a cold smile appeared on his face!
The reason Xue Yang had hung up so abruptly earlier was to make Li Yang call back, to make him declare his stance. It seemed this Li Yang was quite sensible!
“Young Master Xue, where are you now? I’ll bring people to tear down that damn bar.” Li Yang’s tone was full of sincerity.
“Very well, it seems Mr. Li is indeed loyal. Let’s meet at the entrance of Max’s Bar in twenty minutes.” Xue Yang examined the wound on his head in the mirror: “I hope your performance won’t disappoint me.”
With that, the call was hung up again!
Li Yang collected himself, then said to a subordinate beside him, “Pick some capable brothers, get the tools ready, and follow me to wreck a place.”
“Going to wreck a place with you, Boss?”
Hearing this, the subordinate was shocked!
Li Yang had been the boss of Ninghai’s underworld for so many years, how long had it been since he personally led people to wreck a place? Why did it feel so unfamiliar?
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up!” Li Yang glared.
The subordinate acknowledged and rushed out immediately! The boss personally leading a raid was a rare sight not seen for years. Today, the Blue Dragon Gang would send out their elite forces to support the boss!
Just as Li Yang was leaving, a figure bumped into him. Looking closely, it was Song Yili!
“Brother Yang, it’s so late, where are you going? Weren’t you supposed to be watching the models? I was just coming to have a drink with you.”
These two men shared similar tastes in women and often gathered to watch models perform. Sometimes Song Yili would specifically arrange provocative model shows in quiet places to please Li Yang, essentially nude models.
Seeing it was Song Yili, Li Yang said, “Brother Song, I can’t accompany you tonight. I have some urgent business to attend to.”
“Urgent business?” Hearing this, Song Yili’s eyes darted around. “What kind of urgent business? Can I help?”
“Brother Song, you don’t know, but Xue Yang, the young master of the Xue family from Nanyang Province, came to Ninghai and was just beaten up, even had his head split open with a bottle!”
“What?” Song Yili drew in a cold breath, understanding the implications: “Who’s so bold as to beat Xue Yang?”
“This is my territory. Someone beating up Xue Yang like this – where does that leave my face?” Li Yang said angrily: “Now Xue Yang has come to me for justice. If I don’t bring people to settle this for him, how can I expect the Xue family to approve my business expansion into Nanyang Province!”
“Brother Yang is right!” Song Yili’s eyes darted around again as he said, “As it happens, I have time tonight. Let me come along and see!”
“Alright then, you can come too!”
With that, Li Yang led his men out in a hurry. He didn’t care whether Song Yili followed or not; his mind was completely focused on Xue Yang!
This time, Li Yang had gathered quite a few brothers, at least two hundred men. As the so-called gang leader of Ninghai, his influence was still considerable!
Although he was gradually legitimizing himself, everyone in Ninghai knew about Li Yang’s power, and it had been a long time since anyone dared to offend him on his turf. His subordinates hadn’t caused trouble for a long time either. Mobilizing over two hundred men at once was quite a significant move for him.
To curry favor with the young master of the Xue family, Li Yang was going all out!
Li Yang might not have realized how tonight’s actions would change his life!
