419: Chapter 419: Enemies Meet 419: Chapter 419: Enemies Meet Deng Li hadn’t noticed the danger yet, which could be said of many people, as the Signal Fire Platform’s dagger was deeply hidden, extremely difficult to detect.
It was like a venomous snake lying in wait, killing invisibly.
By now, it was obviously too late to warn anyone.
Tangyu’s gaze turned cold without hesitation; his figure transformed into an arrow-like streak as he dashed forward at high speed, reaching the front of Signal Fire Platform.
Just as Signal Fire Platform’s cold dagger was about to stab Deng Li, Tangyu grabbed Signal Fire Platform’s wrist and twisted it hard.
Signal Fire Platform’s arm was twisted around, and his body flipped in the air, akin to performing a trick.
The move was graceful, yet the chilling ‘crack’ of breaking bones was extremely harrowing.
Tangyu jerked hard, almost tearing off Deng Li’s entire arm.
His hand relaxed and the dagger dropped to the ground with a clang.
With a kick, Tangyu harshly kicked Signal Fire Platform’s body, sending him flying like a sandbag.
He flew four or five meters before crashing heavily to the ground.
These beautifully linked strikes effectively left Signal Fire Platform unable to get up, and one of his arms was clearly broken.
Tangyu’s sharp moves and swift actions left everyone around him with their mouths agape, as if they had witnessed something utterly inconceivable.
It was like a child had mauled an adult.
In terms of body size, Tangyu and Signal Fire Platform indeed differed greatly.
Yet, such disproportionate figures led to this result, which was truly astonishing and made everyone look at Tangyu with newfound respect and admiration.
Chang Baosheng also watched Tangyu with a mixture of surprise and admiration.
Indeed, such skillfulness demanded respect.
Deng Li was initially stunned, then finally realized how much danger he had been in moments ago.
If his master hadn’t acted, he likely would have been seriously harmed.
Deng Li opened his mouth to say something, but Tangyu spoke first, “In future, regardless of the situation, your vigilance must not slacken even slightly, otherwise you will suffer a great loss.”
Deng Li nodded vigorously, “Understood, Master.
I will remember.”
“Ha, Master Tang, truly a heroic figure, extremely admirable.
I’m very grateful to Master Tang and Brother Deng for your righteous actions today,” Chang Baosheng said.
“It’s just a trivial matter, no need to be so formal, we’re friends, aren’t we?” Tangyu said with a light smile.
Chang Baosheng laughed heartily, feeling fortunate to make such a capable friend.
A strong murderous aura surged forth as Wei Yaoye approached with a sinister stride, followed by the other three of Linwu’s Four Young Masters.
Behind these four, there was a group of people in black, clearly there to manage the scene.
As Wei Yaoye advanced, a strong presence immediately made many feel oppressed and anxious.
If Linwu’s Four Young Masters were angered, it could turn Linwu County upside down.
Many had already sensed the smell of a brewing storm.
Wei Yaoye’s cold face also emitted a dense fury.
Someone dared to make trouble in his place, injuring his men, which was clearly a slap in his face.
When had Wei Yaoye ever been slapped like this?
“Hmm.” Wei Yaoye’s gaze quickly settled on Tangyu and the others, and Ma Tian and his two companions’ eyes also lit up strangely.
Seeing Tangyu and his group, the sinister smile on Wei Yaoye’s face grew thicker.
It was true what they said about enemies, meeting them really made the blood boil.
Wei Yaoye hadn’t forgotten the great loss he had suffered at Wanshan Village last time and had been considering how to get his revenge on Tangyu and regain his face.
Wei Yaoye did not like going to Donglin City—deep waters there.
In Linwu, he was a dragon, but in Donglin City, he would probably be nothing more than a little snake, or perhaps, not even a snake.
He hadn’t expected that his vengeful target would deliver himself to his doorstep, coming to Linwu County.
On his turf, things would be easier.
Even if the opponent was a dragon, he would have to bow his head here.
Upon seeing Wei Yaoye and his group, Tangyu also slightly curved his lips.
If given a chance, Tangyu wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson again.
None of these four were good fellows, daring to eye the woman by his side.
Since he had come to Linwu County, Tangyu knew a clash with Wei Yaoye was inevitable.
Having suffered a major loss at his hands last time, with the pride of Linwu’s Four Young Masters, there would surely be some action on his own turf.
Might as well resolve this matter tonight.
Wei Yaoye glanced around and addressed everyone, “Sorry, but I have some private matters to deal with today and can’t continue to host everyone.
Today’s drinks are on me; I hope to see you all again next time.”
The crowd knew that Wei Young was clearing the field to handle affairs; since things out here were unlikely to end swiftly, nobody harbored thoughts of staying to watch.
They quickly left the Signal Fire Platform.
Soon, the Signal Fire Platform was emptied, leaving only Wei Yaoye’s group and Tangyu’s group.
Wei Yaoye scanned the chaotic Signal Fire Platform, his lips curling into a sinister, cold smile as he turned to Chang Baosheng, “You’ve got some guts, daring to smash up my place and beat my people.
Did you really think I wouldn’t touch you?
Don’t be shameless when I offer you respect.
No one should try to test my patience.
You create trouble on my turf, and I move against you, and the Chang Family has no say in it.”
“Hmph, I know you would dare touch me.
What of it?
Do you really think I, Chang Baosheng, am scared of you, Wei Yaoye?
In Linwu County, can you bully me, Chang Baosheng, just because you want to?
You start trouble, and you won’t let me respond in kind?
Do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand in Linwu County?” Chang Baosheng coldly snorted, confronting Wei Yaoye so directly for the first time.
Wei Yaoye’s brow furrowed slightly, a sharp gleam flashing across his eyes, “What do you mean?”
Chang Baosheng sneered, “You know well what I mean.
Are you pretending to be unaware of the deeds you’ve done?
Quit playing dumb here.
Do you, Wei Yaoye, dare to commit acts you won’t acknowledge?”
“Hmph, watch your words, Chang Baosheng.
I, Yaoye, always act openly and honorably, daring to both commit and admit.
I truly don’t understand what you mean.
If you continue to speak disrespectfully, don’t blame me for not being polite.
If you have something to say, say it directly; there’s no need for words I can’t understand.
Don’t think that by doing this, today’s incident can be smoothed over.
You smashed my place and beat my people, which is akin to slapping my face.
In Linwu County, nobody dares to strike my people, nobody dares to disrespect me.
You, Chang Baosheng, are far from capable.” With a stern and powerful tone, every gesture of Wei Yaoye exuded the air of a king.
In terms of aura, Chang Baosheng truly was no match for Wei Yaoye.
Chang Baosheng was somewhat intimidated by Wei Yaoye’s powerful demeanor, but having Tangyu beside him today also boosted his confidence.
Furthermore, as the sole male of the third generation in the Chang Family, he had to shoulder the family’s responsibilities.
This was a problem he had to solve.
Otherwise, the decline of the Chang Family was probably just a matter of time.
“Today, I did beat them.
What can you do about it?
Stop feigning ignorance.
Do you dare to say that the person today wasn’t sent by you to release the Poisonous Insect in my hotel?
I’m still holding that person.
If you, Yaoye, dare not confess, shall we confront in person?
You dare to use such despicable tactics against my hotel; why can’t I smash your place?
You’re asking for an explanation from me, it should be you who owes me an explanation!” Chang Baosheng said.
Wei Yaoye’s expression changed slightly, a sharp look flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said coldly, “Do you just believe what others say about framing and setting up?
Hmph, I, Yaoye, would never use such methods.”
“Whether it’s framing or not isn’t something you can decide with just your word.
Whether it was your person, I will find out.
Today, I came here just to tell you, don’t think my Chang Family is easy to bully.
We’ve always been low-key, but that doesn’t mean we are afraid of you.
I rarely show my face in Linwu County, but that doesn’t mean I fear you, Yaoye,” Chang Baosheng said, knowing that no one could clear up such situations.
He knew he couldn’t really do anything to Wei Yaoye today, nor could he make him admit his wrongdoing.
He came here just to let Wei Yaoye know that he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
All he wanted was an attitude.
This sort of open and covert struggle was all too common.
Many things were not laid out in the open.
Because laying them out wouldn’t solve anything.
Rather, it was a battle in the shadows.
You act on the first, I respond on the fifteenth.
Wei Yaoye’s lips curled up, “Whether or not you fear me, I hardly care.
But let me also tell you, I don’t care if you keep a low profile, high profile, or contrary profile, in my eyes, Yaoye, none of that counts.
I have never taken you seriously.
Now that you’ve come here today, don’t even think about leaving easily.”
Chang Baosheng’s face instantly darkened, realizing there was indeed a gap between himself and Wei Yaoye.
“You dare?” Chang Baosheng exclaimed angrily, his eyes widening like copper bells as he stared at Wei Yaoye.
With a wicked smile, Wei Yaoye said, “Take Chang Baosheng aside, and if he resists, don’t be polite.
Whoever started the fight, hit back hard.
Especially—” Wei Yaoye pointed at Tangyu, “if anyone dares to hurt the Signal Fire, I want his hands and feet.”
“Yes!”
As soon as Wei Yaoye’s voice fell, the dozen or so uniformly-dressed bodyguards behind him responded in unison, and each hand suddenly held an iron stick.
Chang Baosheng felt a chill, having thought Wei Yaoye would at least be somewhat cautious, but Wei Yaofang actually dared to strike directly, showing such boldness.
The title of Yaoye was indeed not in vain.
Chang Baosheng grew worried, fearing that today he might really be doomed here, how detestable.
“Deng Li, protect them,” Tangyu shouted to Deng Li, who initially wanted to charge out but stopped immediately upon hearing Tangyu’s words, and he moved to protect Liu Shanshan and Lin Feifei behind him.
Chang Baosheng’s two bodyguards also tightly shielded Chang Baosheng.
With a burst of speed, Tangyu charged to the forefront.
Seeing Tangyu attempting to confront his dozen elite bodyguards single-handedly, the cold smile on Wei Yaoye’s lips deepened with a playful tone, “Go.”
“Kill!”
The dozen bodyguards raised their iron sticks and charged toward Tangyu with full force.
Wei Yaoye casually sat down, picked up a glass of red wine, and began to drink.
Ma Tian and the other two sat aside, watching the spectacle.
Today was Wei Yaoye’s turf, and they were content to be spectators rather than steal the scene.
Their bodyguards stood respectfully behind them, showing no intention of helping out.
