Chapter 126 - 126 124 A Good Place for Murder and Looting


126: Chapter 124 A Good Place for Murder and Looting 126: Chapter 124 A Good Place for Murder and Looting “If you have things to do, go ahead without worrying about me, we can eat next time.” As soon as the call ended, before Tangyu could speak, Shiyi said with a face full of understanding.


Tangyu nodded at her and said, “Alright, sorry, I have to rush to the company.


I’ll be staying at Momo’s apartment from now on, you can also call me if you need anything.”


“Mhm, okay.” Shiyi nodded.


After leaving his phone number, Tangyu quickly left.


Just as he exited the park, a taxi arrived, into which he climbed and gave the company’s address.


Glancing outside, he noticed Shiyi was still watching him from a distance.


Tangyu chuckled silently, his relationship with Shiyi was developing the fastest; he believed it wouldn’t be long before Shiyi truly fell in love with him.


However, this issue was giving Tangyu a bit of a headache.


If he really got together with Shiyi, it would be difficult to explain to Momo and Feifei.


With their pride, they probably wouldn’t share a man with others.


There were also Sister Xin, Liu Shanshan, and Song Qingyu to consider.


So many beautiful women, he liked them all, wanted them all; indeed, it was a troubling dilemma.


“Am I too lustful, too greedy?


But my master often talked about his romantic exploits when he was young, I guess this is just the nature of a hero.


It seems that smooth things over with them won’t be easy.


Just let it be, for now, I shouldn’t think about taking any girlfriends first,” Tangyu touched his nose and shook his head.


Snapping back to reality, Tangyu suddenly furrowed his brows, looked behind him, and noticed a car following him.


He glanced at the driver next to him and saw his gaze was somewhat malicious, and this road, Tangyu remembered, was not the way to the company.


Tangyu immediately realized it was a trap, that there had been someone tracking him all along.


It was quite a meticulous plan to even have a taxi on standby.


Pretending he hadn’t noticed, Tangyu closed his eyes and feigned sleep.


“People really do take kindness for weakness.


Some people just won’t see reason until they’re forced, daring to bother me like this,” Tangyu thought to himself with a cold snicker.


The car drove for about fifteen minutes before stopping.


Tangyu opened his eyes and saw that they had stopped at a deserted garbage recycling station, a place secluded enough to go unnoticed.


“We’re here, get out,” the driver turned his face, looking fiercely at Tangyu.


However, when he saw the calm look on Tangyu’s face, as though completely unaware of the great peril ahead, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.


They were at this point, and still, he could remain so composed.


But after a moment’s thought, he just sneered, “Today, entering here, even a dragon will have to shed a layer of skin.”


A small smile curled on Tangyu’s lips, he said nothing but pushed open the door and got out.


Just as he stepped out, a swooshing sound reached his ears, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a steel pipe, already awaiting him, smashing down violently.


Tangyu had already noticed someone lurking behind the car door, naturally anticipating this attack.


Without panicking, his body ducked smoothly forward, then with a swift pull, he grabbed onto the wrist of the man attacking him, pressing hard.


The punk’s hand involuntarily changed direction, causing the steel pipe to smash into the car door.


While pressing down, Tangyu also turned his hand into a claw, directly grabbing the thug’s wrist and pulling forward.


The thug’s body immediately lost balance and flew forward, his hand holding the steel pipe striking deep into the car, creating a cacophony of clangs.


At the same time, Tangyu kicked the car door sharply, slamming it shut forcefully on the thug’s arm.


“Ah!”


A heavy clamp from the door was followed by the sound of bones cracking and the thug’s agonizing scream.


With no mercy shown by Tangyu upon disembarking, this clamp was enough to cause a comminuted fracture in the thug’s arm.


The sudden turn of events also shocked the others, who quickly encircled Tangyu.


Scanning the group, Tangyu saw there were quite a few, exactly fifteen more besides the first thug, each wielding a nearly one-meter-long steel pipe, all apparently intending to cripple him.


The fifteen thugs surrounded Tangyu, eyes fiercely fixed on him, no longer underestimating him.


It seemed they faced a tough nut to crack, otherwise why would they have had a disadvantage against Brother Niu the other day?


Tangyu looked at the crowd and smiled calmly; to handle these thugs, one had to utilize harsh measures to intimidate them.


If he could intimidate them into retreating without a fight, all the better.


Truthfully, Tangyu disliked fighting and beating people, especially these ordinary punks.


It was meaningless.


“This is indeed a great place for murder and robbery.


You’ve been following me for a long time, haven’t you?


Who sent you here?” Tangyu asked the crowd calmly.


“Hmph, don’t be arrogant, kid.


So what if you have some skills?


Today, this place will be your grave,” one of the younger thugs said.


“Hmph hmph, even if you don’t say it, I know you must be Brother Niu’s men.


It seems he hasn’t learned his lesson yet.


He really has gotten on my bad side.


I’m usually very easygoing, I never like to lose my temper, but that doesn’t mean I’m without it.


Keeping on provoking me like this?


Well, don’t blame me for being rude,” Tangyu said with a cold smile.


His eyes suddenly darted, and his body swiftly twisted towards the back, only to see the thug who had previously attacked him pulling out a sharp dagger and violently stabbing towards Tangyu’s back.


Instead of retreating, Tangyu advanced in a quick step towards the thug, seized the hand that wielded the dagger, then with a fierce twist, he grabbed that hand and stabbed the dagger into the thug’s thigh.


Stab!


The crisp sound of a knife entering bone sent chills down one’s spine, blood sprayed like an arrow, and the gangster let out another pig-slaughtering scream as he fell to the ground.


Disabled both arms and legs in just a few strikes, these methods once again intimidated the others.


Though they were all accustomed to living by the blade, licking up a life of violence, chopping and being chopped, they had rarely seen such ruthlessness.


“Get lost, I don’t want to beat you up, go back and tell your boss to wash his neck and wait for me.


I’ll personally come and settle this score,” Tangyu told the others.


“Fuck, guys, let’s get him,” the young gangster who had spoken earlier cursed and charged at Tangyu.


With someone taking the lead, the others hesitated no more and rushed toward Tangyu.


Retreating without a fight meant they couldn’t answer for themselves once back.


Besides, if they were so easily intimidated, they would lose face completely.


Tangyu shook his head lightly, it seemed the tree wants tranquility but the wind keeps blowing.


Tangyu rushed towards the speaking gangster and soon reached in front of him.


He dodged the gangster’s direct strike with a quick sidestep, moving to his side and snatching the steel pipe from his hand.


The gangster felt his hand empty and immediately realized his steel pipe had been taken.


His heart screamed ‘not good’, but before he could react, the pipe was crashing down on his head.


“Bang—”


The sound was like a watermelon splitting open, a thunderclap on a clear day, striking terror into everyone’s heart.


Blood mixed with brain matter splattered, spewing like a broken water pot, quickly dyeing the gangster’s head red.


The gangster, in immense pain, clutched his head and crouched on the ground, yet the blood continued to spray unstoppably, and he was in danger of bleeding out right there.


The rest of the gangsters’ eyelids twitched at the sight, none of them wanted to be next.


After all, they were just small-time hoods, not desperados.


Tangyu, holding the blood-stained pipe, pointed at the others and said, “I’ll say it again, I don’t want to beat you up.


If you don’t want to end up like them, then scram.”


His voice seemed to carry an intimidating force that made one’s heart skip.


After a moment of hesitation, the gangsters quickly lifted the two men and swiftly left the scene.


Having dealt with the gangsters, Tangyu casually tossed the bloodied pipe aside, “Humph, it seems I was too lenient last time.


For such people, a blow of death is the only answer.”


Xijijing River Road Bar, underground office.


“What?


So many of you couldn’t handle one person, are you shit-eaters or what?


You still have the face to come back and see me, you might as well go die.” Brother Niu roared into the phone angrily before smashing it down, extremely furious.


He had sent sixteen men, and yet they were thrown into chaos by one Tangyu.


Brother Niu’s eyes gleamed with a menacing light, and he slammed his palm on the desk, “Useless trash, a bunch of good-for-nothings, can’t even handle such a small task.”


“Brother Niu, should we just take him out?” Brother Niu’s confidant Gouzi suggested.


The cold light in Niu’s eyes flickered, “Don’t rush things yet.


The police have been keeping a tight watch on us, we can’t afford to stir up any trouble right now.


If something goes wrong, we’ll all pay dearly.”


“Brother Niu, it seems that kid is tough.


If a frontal approach doesn’t work, maybe we should play rough.


That kid is close to a couple of pretty girls, right?


Why not grab one of them?


Then he won’t dare to refuse compliance.”


Brother Niu nodded, “That’s an idea to consider.


Act fast, Lige is already very pissed off.”


“Rest assured, Brother Niu, I’ll handle it myself.”


“Mm, then, Gouzi, this matter is in your hands now,” Brother Niu nodded.


Gouzi suggested, “Brother Niu, I reckon that guy won’t just let this go and might come knocking again.


Should we close the shop and lay low somewhere else for a while?”


Brother Niu glared fiercely at Gouzi, who quickly added, “Brother Niu, a wise man does not eat the loss in front of him.


That guy indeed has some ability, and we can’t afford to stir up trouble in our own place.


We shouldn’t squabble with him over such trifles.”


“Hmph, I, Brother Niu, have been in the game for decades, faced all kinds of storms, retreat just because of a milk-smelling boy?


If that gets out, wouldn’t people laugh at me?


If he dares come, I dare keep him here.


Inform our guys, let them all bring their tools to the bar.


If he dares to show up, I dare to make sure he doesn’t leave,” Brother Niu snorted coldly.


“Yes, Brother Niu, it was an unnecessary worry on my part.


I’ll go inform the guys right now.


On our turf, no matter how capable he is, he can’t stir up much.


If he really comes alone, it might even be a great opportunity for us.


Brother Niu, you are truly wise,” Gouzi nodded repeatedly.
