"It's fine. Brother, I'll help you deal with them when the time comes."
Bruised and battered, Xiong Jie was certainly not going to let this go. After a quick bandaging, he immediately used his connections to get revenge. They were just a bunch of thugs; with a little pull, he could make them disappear from this world.
Xiong Jie didn't directly answer Lin Yan's question, but the implication was clear: these hooligans were responsible.
"No need, I'll handle it myself."
Lin Yan's tone was extremely cold, and an intimidating chill permeated the air.
At this moment, Li Wei's Mercedes G-wagon also pulled up to the barbecue stall. If not for the speed limit, Li Wei wouldn't have been able to keep up with Lin Yan.
"Thanks, brother. I owe you for this!"
Lin Yan patted Xiong Jie on the shoulder. Regardless of the circumstances, this brother was decent.
"It's nothing, brother. These are minor matters. As long as sister-in-law is alright."
Lin Yan, in both his past and present lives, was a person who never let an insult slide. If someone bullied him, he would retaliate tenfold. Conversely, if someone treated him well, he would reciprocate.
Regardless of the reason, Lin Yan had decided to befriend brothers like Xiong Jie.
Glancing at the drunk hooligans being escorted into the police car by officers, a cold glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.
Did they think that after beating him, a few days in jail would settle it? It wouldn't be that simple.
He signaled to Yang Tianming and the others beside him. Yang Tianming immediately understood. They had witnessed the scene and Yang Tianming had been waiting for the order.
Under the surprised gazes of Xiong Jie and Su Mojin, Yang Tianming and the other three walked directly towards the police car.
"This..."
Seeing Lin Yan's bodyguards, Xiong Jie stopped talking, knowing that Lin Yan was about to take action.
The group of thugs was being escorted by officers to the police car. However, only one police car had arrived, and only two of the seven thugs could fit inside. The remaining five stood outside. In this area, with surveillance cameras everywhere near the school entrance, they dared not flee.
As Yang Tianming approached, a hint of confusion flickered in the eyes of the drunk hooligans. Why were these people walking towards them?
They absolutely did not realize that these individuals were here specifically to teach them a lesson. While they knew someone might be looking for trouble, they were right next to the police. Did the other party dare to beat them in front of the officers?
Before their confusion could last, Yang Tianming and the other three reached them.
"Bro, there's..."
One of the relatively sober hooligans mumbled, seemingly trying to remind Yang Tianming and the others that the police were present.
But Yang Tianming paid no mind. As he got closer, his fists, moving with the force of the wind, struck directly at the hooligan's face.
With a powerful punch to the face, the hooligan's right eye socket swelled visibly.
"Ah, you bastard, how dare you hit me! I..."
Suddenly struck, the hooligan was enraged, his senses even clearing up considerably. A string of curses burst out.
However, before he could finish, his words were replaced by screams. Yang Tianming could have finished him with one blow, but he deliberately held back his strength when punching, as Lin Yan had specifically instructed. He wouldn't let them off so easily.
"Don't... don't... don't break it, ah!"
Ignoring the hooligan's pleas, Yang Tianming exerted force, and with a crack, he broke both of the hooligan's arms. This time, unlike with Song Botao and Wei Shaoting, these were crucial bone locations. Once broken, it meant they would be crippled for life.
After the arms, it was the legs. Two more sounds of cracking bones echoed. The hooligan who spoke first slumped to the ground, his limbs completely disabled. Even if he survived at the hospital, he would essentially be a cripple.
Seeing their companions being beaten, the other four hooligans around them gradually reacted and prepared to intervene. But these petty thugs, accustomed to slacking off, were no match for Yang Tianming and his group. With a few punches, they were left bruised and swollen.
Cries of agony erupted. At this point, the screams of the hooligans attracted the attention of three police officers. They had been busy handcuffing two of the thugs and hadn't noticed the actions of those behind them.
"What are you doing! Stop."
However, Yang Tianming acted as if he hadn't heard them, throwing punch after punch at the face of another hooligan. The hooligan was beaten to the point where he couldn't even scream, only slowly stopping when the police reached them.
They stopped, but by now, these thugs were beaten beyond recognition. Their hands and feet were broken, and they didn't need to be sobered up; the pain made them acutely aware.
"Officer, save me, officer, my arm is broken..."
"Damn it, my leg is broken, it hurts so much! Call an ambulance quickly, they're assaulting people! In broad daylight, is there no law?"
As Yang Tianming and his group released them, the hooligans collapsed to the ground. Five people against four, almost a one-on-one situation, and within moments, each had received dozens of punches.
Now they remembered to seek help from the police. When the police first arrived, they had still considered resisting.
"What are you guys doing?"
Although the police also disliked these hooligans, they had to intervene. Turning their heads, the officers couldn't help but gasp. In such a short time, they had been beaten this badly.
"Quick, they're assaulting people, arrest them all!"
The hooligans, lying on the ground and wailing, shouted at the police.
They were all arrested for assault, so in their minds, Yang Tianming and his group were also to be arrested.
The miserable state of these hooligans startled the police officers, who quickly drew their batons and pointed them at Yang Tianming and his group. They now considered Yang Tianming's group to be extremely dangerous individuals.
"Don't move, hands behind your head, squat down!"
Mission accomplished, Yang Tianming and his group cooperated fully, squatting down obediently.
Just as Yang Tianming and his group squatted down, the sound of police sirens echoed from not far away.
Under the night sky, a string of police lights flashed on the eastern road. Motorcycle police and an ambulance approached from nearby.
The vehicles stopped in front of the restaurant, and over a dozen police officers and members of the criminal investigation team disembarked.
These motorcycle police were patrolling the vicinity and, upon receiving the news, had also come to clear the way for the ambulance.
