As the thugs' gazes all fell upon Yuan Bo, he felt a colossal shadow cast over him.
Fear immediately gripped him, and he stumbled back two steps, trembling as he asked, "What... what do you want?"
"I'm your boss, don't mess with me!"
But at this moment, the thugs were focused on their own survival, paying no mind to Yuan Bo's words.
Like hungry wolves, they pounced on Yuan Bo.
Yuan Bo let out a terrified yell and turned to flee. However, being a rather plump man who didn't exercise much, he couldn't outrun the young men.
Soon, he was tackled to the ground by the thugs, beaten severely, and then dragged before Wu Tian.
The thugs were truly brutal. Despite Yuan Bo having spent a considerable amount of money on them, they beat him until he was unrecognizable.
Watching Yuan Bo kneel before him, Wu Tian simply smiled faintly and said, "Well, well, isn't this Mr. Yuan?"
"Why are you kneeling before me? Get up, get up!"
Yuan Bo knew Wu Tian was mocking him and was furious.
Yet, he was helpless against Wu Tian and didn't even dare to stand up.
Noticing his angry glare, Wu Tian sighed again and said, "Seriously? Why is he still looking at me like that?"
"It seems you people really lack any deterrent!"
Upon hearing Wu Tian's words, the thugs were startled. They quickly slapped Yuan Bo and cursed fiercely, "What are you looking at? Keep looking and I'll dig your eyeballs out!"
These slaps brought Yuan Bo back to reality.
At this moment, he had to admit that his men had been turned by Wu Tian.
And now, he was the one being beaten.
He quickly averted his fierce gaze, his face now a mask of misery, and asked, "What... what are you doing?"
Wu Tian smiled and replied, "What am I doing? Mr. Yuan, I think you've got something wrong."
"You're the one causing trouble for me, so how am I the one causing trouble?"
"Oh, I get it, you're probably unconvinced, right?"
"No problem, I'm a reasonable person. If you feel unconvinced, then call more people."
"I'll say it again, I have no problem with that."
If Yuan Bo were to call for reinforcements now, with his wealth, he could indeed summon more people.
But the crucial issue was, how could he call them?
If he dared to make any move, wouldn't that be equivalent to seeking death?
Therefore, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I submit, I submit."
"This is all my fault, I was the one causing trouble. I'm sorry, truly sorry!"
Seeing this, Chang Luo was utterly shocked.
He had been worried about Wu Tian's safety, but who could have imagined that Wu Tian would be so capable, resolving the situation perfectly?
Wu Tian looked at Yuan Bo's pathetic state and smiled, "So you admit it was your fault. I thought you were completely clueless."
"You don't need to be so nervous. Although you haven't done anything decent, I don't plan to do anything to you."
"Of course, that's provided you cooperate with me. Do you understand?"
Seeing that there was still a chance, Yuan Bo readily agreed.
He quickly said, "I understand, I understand. Whatever you need to do, I will cooperate with you one hundred percent!"
"That's for the best," Wu Tian said, glancing at Chang Luo, who immediately understood and walked over.
Wu Tian then asked, "Come, tell me, what exactly is going on with Chang Luo's situation?"
"Since you call him young master, his identity must be quite extraordinary, right?"
"If his identity is extraordinary, then why did you dare to treat him like this?"
Hearing Wu Tian ask this question, Yuan Bo immediately froze, his attitude becoming uncertain.
He said with some difficulty, "This... this..."
Wu Tian disliked his hesitant demeanor and his tone grew a little deeper, "What 'this and that'? You don't want to tell me, do you?"
"Fine, no problem. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."
"However, you'll have to bear all the consequences yourself!"
As soon as Wu Tian finished speaking, the thugs immediately converged on Yuan Bo again.
Yuan Bo truly didn't want to be beaten again, so out of fear, he dared not offer any further resistance.
He could only shout loudly, "No, no, no! I'm willing to talk! I'm willing to talk!"
"We did this entirely on the instructions of the young master. We... we couldn't help it!"
"Young master?" Wu Tian was surprised by the term Yuan Bo used and was momentarily stunned.
He then looked at Chang Luo, only to find Chang Luo's expression particularly strange, as if he were experiencing immense terror about something.
Seeing this, he immediately knew that Chang Luo understood the reason behind it.
He then said, "Chang Luo, what's wrong? Do you know something?"
Chang Luo did not answer Wu Tian but continued to look at Yuan Bo with shocked eyes and retorted, "What did you say? The young master you mentioned... could it be my brother?"
Yuan Bo nodded and said, "That's right, it's your brother, Chang Tian."
Chang Luo fell silent, his face filled with even greater astonishment.
Wu Tian asked again, "Chang Luo, what is going on?"
"What happened to your brother? Why would he do something like this to you?"
Chang Luo's state seemed to be deteriorating. He still didn't answer Wu Tian, his whole body trembling slightly, as if he had encountered something unbearable.
Wu Tian knew that this matter must have had a significant impact on Chang Luo, causing problems with his mental and psychological state.
If he tried to question him directly now, he probably wouldn't get anything out of him.
So he turned to Yuan Bo and said, "Get a private room for me immediately. I need to discuss something with Chang Luo."
"If you still refuse to let him in now, then you can close this restaurant!"
With things having reached this point, Yuan Bo dared not refuse.
He quickly nodded and said, "I understand, I understand. I'll definitely get you the best private room, and it'll be free of charge!"
After Yuan Bo finished speaking, Wu Tian ignored him and entered with Chang Luo.
