Chapter 101 Cold Shot from Behind
When Li Yang arrived with Song Yili, Xue Yang was standing at the entrance of the bar. He had somehow found two bandages wrapped around his head, looking extremely disheveled and somewhat comical.
Not just him, but the two male subordinates beside him were also wrapped in bandages. As for that woman, her face was swollen and covered with purple-red finger marks, clearly showing she had been badly injured, with eyes full of resentment!
Seeing the Xue family young master in such a state, Li Yang’s heart immediately sank. He quickly ran forward and said with a face full of apology and concern: “Young Master Xue, how are you? How did you get injured so badly?”
Xue Yang didn’t even open his mouth, just let out a cold snort from his nostrils.
Li Yang said with heartfelt distress: “For something like this to happen in Ninghai territory is truly my negligence! Please understand, Young Master Xue, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation!”
In his conversation with Xue Yang, Li Yang didn’t use the honorific “nin,” as he was more than ten years older than Xue Yang, and using such a respectful term would have seemed too demeaning for himself.
Over two hundred people, filling six large buses, lined up in front of Max Bar, making quite a spectacular sight!
As soon as the vehicles stopped and the doors opened, many fierce-looking thugs jumped out, either bare-chested or tattooed, most holding steel pipes, hammers, and watermelon knives!
In an international metropolis like Ninghai, open gang fights hadn’t occurred for many years, so seeing such a large-scale gang gathering, pedestrians quickly scattered, not even daring to take out their phones to take pictures, fearing unnecessary trouble!
After all, these people were desperate characters, and offending them would definitely lead to suffering – those watermelon knives didn’t discriminate!
Looking at the manpower Li Yang had brought, Xue Yang’s eyes flashed with slight satisfaction, though this satisfied expression vanished quickly.
“Li Yang, I was hit with a bottle on your territory and my head was split open. In all these years, I, Xue Yang, have never suffered such humiliation, never.”
Xue Yang’s words made Li Yang’s heart tremble violently! Because he clearly saw the vicious meaning in Xue Yang’s eyes!
“Li Yang, because of this incident, I seriously doubt your power in Ninghai. You should know that our Xue family never cooperates with people who lack strength.”
Li Yang’s heart sank. He knew Xue Yang was waiting to see his performance. He wanted to see what his attitude would be, and if he said anything that displeased him, this spoiled young master would likely prevent his business from developing smoothly in the south.
Li Yang looked at the bandage on Xue Yang’s head, clenched his fists, and said with a fierce expression: “Young Master Xue, it’s my fault that you encountered this situation here, so I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”
“The person who hit me is the female owner of this bar, Xue Ruyun, and the other is her man. Now they’re both fooling around in this bar, so what to do, I think you should understand without my prompting!” Xue Yang said arrogantly, completely unaware that his haughty expression contrasted sharply with the pathetic sight of bandages wrapped around his head.
“Don’t worry, today I will definitely clean up this territory properly!” Li Yang turned around, looked at the large sign of Max Bar, and said angrily: “Come on, first smash this bar completely! Then grab that female owner surnamed Xue and bring her to Young Master Xue. Do you all understand!”
“There’s also a man,” Xue Yang reminded.
Li Yang immediately responded: “Break that man’s limbs, castrate him, tie his body with cement blocks, and throw him into the Ning River to sink to the bottom!”
How ruthless!
Li Yang and Su Rui had never met, yet merely for the immediate benefits, he could issue an order to sink Su Rui into the river!
This society is always about survival of the fittest. No matter how bright the surface appears, it cannot change the cruel and cold nature – this is the basic rule of society. Even with the changing times, it will not disappear, only change its form of expression.
After speaking, Li Yang looked at Xue Yang and said: “Young Master Xue, are you satisfied with my arrangement?”
Xue Yang nodded, touching the bandage on his head, the wound still throbbing with pain: “Actions speak louder than words. I’ll have to see your actual performance.”
Li Yang nodded and waved his hand: “Go ahead! If anyone dares to interfere, beat them hard, beat them until they’re crippled!”
At Li Yang’s command, those Qinglong Gang members charged toward Max Bar like hungry tigers pouncing on prey, yelling as they went!
Despite causing such a commotion, Li Yang wasn’t worried about the police showing up, because he had maintained excellent relationships with them. With just a heads-up, the police would delay their response by half an hour to an hour, by which time the smashing would be over.
Song Yili looked at the bandaged Xue Yang, rolled his eyes, then walked behind him, deliberately lowering his voice as if casually saying: “To dare beat Young Master Xue like this in Ninghai territory, if I were handling it, I wouldn’t just break his limbs or castrate him. I would twist his neck and bring his head before Young Master Xue!”
This statement clearly contained elements of instigation!
Hearing this, Xue Yang raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Song Yili with surprise and some amusement: “Who are you?”
“I’m the general manager of Ninghai Tianxiang Group, Song Yili.”
“Tianxiang Group? Never heard of it.” Xue Yang didn’t even look at Song Yili, his face full of arrogance.
Indeed, as a young master from one of the top southern families, few Ninghai enterprises could catch his eye. Since Tianxiang Group’s reputation was somewhat less than Bikang’s, it was normal that he hadn’t heard of it.
Seeing Xue Yang’s arrogant expression and obvious disinterest, Song Yili’s eyes flashed with a trace of gloom, but he quickly resumed his submissive demeanor.
He smiled and said: “Young Master Xue, the reason I came here and said these things to you is because we have a common enemy.”
Hearing this, Xue Yang glanced at Song Yili: “A common enemy, you mean Xue Ruyun?”
“Not just her.” Song Yili smiled, “Young Master Xue wants that woman, while I want that man.”
“Which man?” Xue Yang showed some interest in Song Yili’s words; this guy seemed much more interesting than Li Yang.
“The man who’s with the female owner of this bar.” Song Yili still wore a smile, seemingly with an intentional flattering quality.
“I see.” Upon hearing this, Xue Yang immediately pictured Su Rui’s face and said through gritted teeth: “That man is no good, he deserves to die.”
In all these years, when had Xue Yang ever suffered such humiliation? In the south, people treated him like a treasure, but in Ninghai, that wasn’t necessarily the case!
“He is indeed no good and truly deserves to die. Young Master Xue, I know that Xue Ruyun and Su Rui have offended you. If possible, I’d also like to do my part as a local host and help Li Yang capture them both.” Song Yili glanced at Li Yang in the distance as he spoke.
“Your hospitality seems to be riding on Li Yang’s efforts, doesn’t it?” Xue Yang sneered: “He sent so many people, but what about you? Just yourself? Isn’t this just taking credit for others’ work?”
Song Yili shook his head: “Young Master Xue, sometimes numbers don’t matter. One person can sometimes be worth thousands of troops.”
Xue Yang’s eyes brightened a bit: “Oh? So you’re a master?”
“No, I’m not a master, but I have a master with me.” Song Yili pointed to his car.
In the back seat sat a man wearing sunglasses. Even though it was night, he still hadn’t removed them, giving off an eerie vibe.
Below the sunglasses was a hawk-like nose, with a long scar extending from his temple all the way to his chin, looking as if the original injury had been quite severe, otherwise the scar wouldn’t be so striking.
However, even though Song Yili had gotten out of the car, the man remained steadily seated, not looking like a bodyguard at all.
“Your subordinate seems quite arrogant,” Xue Yang adjusted the bandage on his head and said coldly, appearing somewhat displeased.
Song Yili quickly explained: “Young Master Xue, many highly skilled people tend to be quite eccentric. This is understandable.”
“Hmph.” Xue Yang snorted coldly, clearly not believing it: “Just putting on airs!”
Song Yili lowered his voice again: “Young Master Xue, this man was brought over from Thailand at great expense. Perhaps you’ve heard his name.”
“Oh?” Hearing Song Yili’s words, Xue Yang’s eyes brightened again, “Who is he?”
“Tai Longsheng.”
“Tai Longsheng?” Xue Yang’s voice rose several decibels as he involuntarily looked toward the car!
Song Yili smiled coldly: “Yes, he’s currently wanted by the police in Thailand, Myanmar-Vietnam, and Malaysia.”
Xue Yang did know something about this name!
This man was very famous in Southeast Asian underworld circles, known for his extreme ruthlessness. He had quite a reputation in Thailand’s underground fighting rings, having fought ninety-six matches, knocking out his opponent in each one!
Once, a Malaysian tycoon offended him, and he killed all twenty-eight members of the tycoon’s family in one night!
Tai Longsheng had never joined any organization; his only faith was money. Whoever paid the highest price could use his services.
Ruthlessness and martial prowess were the basics and prerequisites for surviving in the underworld. In these two aspects, Tai Longsheng could be described as the ultimate!
As a young master from a prestigious family, Xue Yang naturally knew something about Tai Longsheng, and had even considered recruiting him. However, recruiting such a person was a double-edged sword – such a venomous snake could easily turn on its master!
“I didn’t expect you to have invited him here.” Xue Yang’s eyes flickered: “Very impressive.”
