Ye Shan immediately burst into laughter, walked over, and embraced Wu Tian warmly. "What a coincidence, Wu Tian! I never expected to run into you here!"
Wu Tian smiled. "I didn't expect it either, that it would be you."
Zhao Huadong was stunned to see how familiar Ye Shan and Wu Tian were.
He asked hesitantly, "Brother Shan, you know each other?"
Ye Shan smiled. "Of course, Wu Tian is my good brother."
"There's no one I wouldn't know, but I certainly can't not know him!"
After speaking, Ye Shan turned to Wu Tian. "Wu Tian, my subordinate got into some trouble here. Please wait a moment, I'll come find you after I've dealt with this!"
Wu Tian chuckled. "No need, Boss Ye. You can deal with me directly. Your subordinate was beaten by me."
Ye Shan froze upon hearing this.
After a two-second pause, he asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Dongzi had a conflict with you?"
He then turned to look at Zhao Huadong, his expression immediately darkening. "Dongzi, what exactly happened?"
Zhao Huadong had been planning to rely on Ye Shan to teach Wu Tian a lesson, but given the current situation, it was unclear who would be teaching whom.
He didn't dare to say anything foolish at this point and could only shake his head repeatedly. "It's nothing, it's nothing. It was all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding, haha!"
But Wu Tian had no intention of letting it go. The corners of his mouth curved into a smile. "A misunderstanding? How interesting."
"You cut in front of me, then you tried to stab me with a knife, and now you're calling it a misunderstanding. Do you really think I'll buy that?"
Seeing that Wu Tian had laid everything out.
Zhao Huadong's face turned pale with fear. He quickly stammered, "This... I..."
"Dongzi!" Ye Shan's voice suddenly gained a touch of authority.
"You've gotten quite bold, daring to provoke Wu Tian."
"Do you know who Wu Tian is? Even Da Gou and the others call Wu Tian 'Second Brother.' How dare you offend Wu Tian?"
"Sec-Second Brother? He's Second Brother?" Zhao Huadong almost shrieked.
He knew Da Gou and knew that Da Gou had once been bested by a young man, that young man being the so-called Second Brother.
He had always thought Da Gou's words were just drunken ramblings.
He never expected that all of it was actually true!
What was even more terrifying was that he, himself, had now offended Second Brother...
Zhao Huadong felt his heart all but stop beating, and a tingling sensation spread across his scalp.
He trembled and said, "I didn't know this gentleman was Second Brother. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to act rashly against Second Brother even if you beat me to death!"
Ye Shan coldly reprimanded, "Do you think saying that will absolve you of responsibility, Zhao Huadong? You're thinking far too simply."
Zhao Huadong was on the verge of collapse!
He knew Ye Shan's temper. When Ye Shan still used a nickname, it meant there was still room for negotiation.
But if Ye Shan used his real name, it meant Ye Shan was truly angry!
Fearing that he would become a corpse floating down the river the next day, Zhao Huadong quickly begged for mercy. "Brother Shan, Brother Shan, I know I was wrong!"
"I was blind and offended Second Brother. I am guilty, I am guilty!"
"I've followed you for so many years. For the sake of those years, please spare me!"
Ye Shan snorted coldly. "Spare you? If I let you off just like that, who will address the grievances of my brother Wu Tian?"
Zhao Huadong dared not speak. He was powerless against Ye Shan. Even if Ye Shan wanted him dead, he could only accept his fate.
Ye Shan was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked to his car and took out a sledgehammer!
"Brother Shan, what are you..." Zhao Huadong was terrified.
Ye Shan walked towards Zhao Huadong without a word, then brought the sledgehammer down with a powerful swing!
"Ah!" Ye Shan's action almost shattered Zhao Huadong's courage. He instinctively closed his eyes.
But the sledgehammer did not hit him.
He opened his eyes and was stunned.
Ye Shan was using the sledgehammer to repeatedly smash his car. In just a few blows, the entire hood was almost destroyed.
"Brother Shan, you're..." Zhao Huadong asked blankly.
Ye Shan swung the hammer again, shattering the windshield, and then said coldly, "Can you accept this punishment?"
Zhao Huadong finally understood, and a pang of heartache shot through him.
After all, this Mercedes-Benz was bought with a loan, and he still had two years of payments left!
But since Ye Shan had said it, what choice did he have?
If he dared to say a single word of refusal, the sledgehammer would be coming down on him!
He quickly nodded and said, "I can accept it, I can accept it! Thank you for sparing my life, Brother Shan!"
Ye Shan tossed the sledgehammer towards him and growled, "In that case, why aren't you getting out of here?"
Zhao Huadong trembled, then quickly drove away in his damaged car.
Ye Shan turned to Wu Tian with an apologetic expression. "Wu Tian, I'm truly sorry about this. My discipline is lacking. I apologize."
Wu Tian smiled. "It's nothing, it's a minor matter. Boss Ye doesn't need to worry about it."
Ye Shan said, "To express my apologies, how about I invite you to my bathhouse for a foot massage?"
Wu Tian knew what Ye Shan meant. He shook his head. "No, thank you, Boss Ye. You know I don't like doing those kinds of things."
Ye Shan laughed heartily. "Is that so? Then never mind. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
"Some of my brothers have called me to discuss some business. Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer."
Wu Tian nodded, and the two prepared to part ways.
Just as Ye Shan turned to leave, Wu Tian's brow suddenly furrowed.
"Boss Ye, please wait a moment!" he called out to Ye Shan.
Ye Shan turned around, looking puzzled. "Wu Tian, what is it?"
Wu Tian observed Ye Shan with a look of surprise, then asked, "Boss Ye, let me ask you something. Have you been feeling a pain in your back recently?"
Ye Shan paused, then instinctively touched his back. "How did you know?"
"For the past half month, my back has been hurting from time to time."
"And sometimes it hurts terribly. I've gone to the hospital for check-ups, but they found nothing. Isn't that strange?"
Wu Tian's expression was very serious. "Boss Ye, please wait for me. It seems I need to go with you."
"You want to go with me?" Ye Shan was very confused. "Wu Tian, what do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying."
Wu Tian said, "You'll know soon enough. Don't worry, you definitely won't lose out by waiting a moment."
Although Ye Shan didn't understand Wu Tian's intentions, he trusted him.
