153: Section 153
The commotion that just occurred attracted a lot of onlookers, including vendors from the snack street.
"Handsome Guy, why don't you leave first? Wu Zhongtian's backing is ruthless. Someone came to cause trouble before, and that person had his legs broken. He's still in a wheelchair now."
The speaker was the takoyaki (octopus balls) stall owner, a woman in her forties, whose face bore many traces of time.
But from her features, this woman must have been a beauty in her youth.
The woman tugged at Xiao Fan's sleeve and whispered from behind him.
"Auntie, don't worry, it's fine."
Chen Xueqi often bought her takoyaki (octopus balls) and was quite familiar with the woman, so she spoke up immediately.
"This... then be careful. If it really doesn't work out, it's okay to just pay some money. Money can be earned back... My son has some influence in this area. If you mention his name, it might work. His name is Yue Qian."
Seeing that they were determined, the woman stopped trying to persuade them. After a moment of hesitation, she still spoke the latter part.
Perhaps she didn't want to see a young couple separated like this, or perhaps seeing Xiao Fan and Chen Xueqi reminded her of her own past regrets.
"Brother Long, come quickly! I'm being bullied, and my stall has been overturned."
After the call connected, Wu Zhongtian's voice was full of grievance as he began to complain.
"Who is so bold? Didn't you mention my name, Liu Dalong?"
"I did... but... but..."
Wu Zhongtian's tone became hesitant and stammering.
"But what? Speak!"
"The other party said they don't care if you're a big dragon or a big worm. As long as you dare to come, they'll make you crawl on the ground."
"Bang!"
A loud noise came from the other end of the phone, clearly indicating that something had suffered.
"Alright, alright, alright. Since that's the case, I'd like to see who dares to be so arrogant and domineering on my territory!"
Liu Dalong was furious. How many years had it been? Since he became a boss, he hadn't been provoked like this in a long time.
"Xiaoyong, call thirty brothers for me and bring the tools."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin young man with a scar near his eye walked in.
"Brother Long, is there some action?"
"Heh heh, someone actually dared to say they'd make me crawl out. Let's go and see who this immortal is, to be so arrogant."
As Xiaoyong was Liu Dalong's confidant, Liu Dalong naturally didn't keep it from him.
"Brother Long, could it be..."
"No matter what it is, I have to go today. If I find out Wu Zhongtian dared to lie to me, this time next year, I'll send him a wheelchair."
Liu Dalong waved his hand, interrupting Xiaoyong. Hearing this, Xiaoyong didn't say much and hurried out to gather people.
Before long, thirty burly men appeared before Liu Dalong.
"Depart."
At Liu Dalong's command, he set off in his BMW.
The remaining subordinates also got into vans and followed... "Just wait to die, you. You'll see what Brother Long does to you."
Wu Zhongtian was full of confidence now, his face filled with an arrogant expression. In his opinion, there was nothing in this area that Liu Dalong couldn't handle.
If it weren't for the exorbitant protection fees to hire Liu Dalong, he would have called long ago.
Xiao Fan merely smiled faintly at this. He wanted to see who in Jiang Province would be so blind as to dare to touch him.
After waiting a few minutes...
"Get out of the way!"
A loud shout came from the crowd.
Liu Dalong's subordinates went ahead to clear the path. Those onlookers who didn't move out of the way in time were all slapped.
Many of those who were slapped wanted to fight back, but seeing the switchblades in the hands of the leading subordinates, and the fierce-looking twenty-odd men behind them, they immediately deflated.
They didn't dare to say another word and very sensibly made way.
"Brother Long, you're here! It's these few people!"
Wu Zhongtian's face showed a look of surprise as he pointed at Xiao Fan and the others. He seemed to already envision Brother Long beating Xiao Fan severely and then taking the three beautiful women.
Although he wouldn't get first dibs, perhaps when Brother Long got tired of them, he could get a share.
Wu Zhongtian licked his lips, and the smile on his face became increasingly twisted.
Liu Dalong quickly approached Chen Xueqi. Just as Wu Zhongtian thought Brother Long was about to make a move, to his surprise, Liu Dalong directly knelt down, his face full of respect.
"Young Miss, I didn't know you were here. I have greatly offended you. Please forgive me, Young Miss!"
Chapter 137: Fusion of Divine Body and Sacred Body
"Wow, who exactly is this beauty, to make Brother Long kneel down on his own accord?"
"Wu Zhongtian is going to be in big trouble now."
"..."
The onlookers whispered among themselves. One had to know that when Brother Long first appeared, his presence was absolutely commanding.
With that kind of demeanor, let alone people, even a passing dog would probably get two slaps.
At this moment, Wu Zhongtian finally realized he had kicked an iron plate. The seemingly invincible Brother Long, whom he had always believed in, actually knelt down the moment he saw her.
Unwilling to give up, he still wanted to make one last struggle,
"Brother Long, could this be a misunderstanding? Did you recognize the wrong person?"
"Misunderstanding? I'll misunderstand your ancestors! How dare you offend my Young Miss? Brothers, beat him! Beat him to death, and I'll take responsibility!"
Liu Dalong had already cursed Wu Zhongtian a hundred times in his heart. If he had known it was Chen Xueqi, how would he have dared to make such an arrogant entrance?
Now, he could only silently pray that Chen Xueqi wouldn't hold him accountable, otherwise, even if he had a hundred lives, he would never leave Jiang Province alive.
Hearing this, the subordinates dragged Wu Zhongtian to the center of the road and began to punch and kick him.
The force was so great that the surrounding onlookers all moved away.
Seeing Chen Xueqi remain silent, cold sweat broke out on Liu Dalong's back. At this moment, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Only Wu Zhongtian's screams were constant. After a few minutes, Wu Zhongtian's voice grew weaker and weaker. Just then, Xiao Fan spoke,
"Stop."
The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Hearing this, all the subordinates involuntarily stopped and looked at Liu Dalong, seemingly asking for his opinion.
Liu Dalong naturally saw Xiao Fan standing next to Chen Xueqi and knew that their relationship was unusual.
"Didn't you hear what this Handsome Guy said? Everyone stop!"
When the subordinates dispersed, Wu Zhongtian was already bruised and swollen, his eyes barely open, and his body covered in shoe prints.
"You're Brother Long, right? Coming to us so aggressively really makes people scared."
Xiao Fan stepped on Liu Dalong's shoulder, tightening his slightly loose shoelace.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. This Young Master can just call me Little Long."
Although he didn't know Xiao Fan's identity, anyone with an unusual relationship with Chen Xueqi was naturally not someone Liu Dalong could provoke.
"Alright, seeing as you're so sensible, I won't make things too difficult for you. From now on, beat this old fellow once every seven days, according to today's standard.
Two months later, send him to a mental hospital and lock him up for life. This small matter, I think you should be able to handle it, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm more than capable!"
Liu Dalong nodded incessantly like a pounding garlic, then looked up at Chen Xueqi.
"His words are my intention. Go and do it."
Hearing this, Liu Dalong felt as if he had received a great pardon. He was lucky today to have recognized Chen Xueqi's identity and immediately knelt down. Otherwise, if they had started fighting, he would have been dead today.
"Alright, take him to the hospital. Don't let him die."
Hearing this, Liu Dalong's subordinates quickly sprang into action, lifting Wu Zhongtian and tossing him into the van. Then, they floored the accelerator and quickly disappeared from sight.
After the matter was resolved, the onlookers also dispersed...
After the brief interlude, the group continued to enjoy themselves.
They only returned home when it was almost dark.
After sending the three to play landlord, Xiao Fan went alone to a bedroom on the third floor.
"System, will Divine Body + Sacred Body conflict?"
