Upon hearing the other party was Yang Jian, not only Bao Guo was stunned, but even those behind him were dumbfounded. Immediately, half of them put away their cleavers and retreated into the crowd. They were worried that Yang Jian and his men would remember their faces, and it would be troublesome if they met again.
Bao Guo was now truly in a predicament. He didn't even dare to utter any harsh words. Although he had been in the limelight recently, it was because he had gathered a group of Lao Gui's former followers with the support of Hong Xing and taken over some of Lao Gui's territories and businesses, which led to his fame. He himself was not very capable.
In the past, Bao Guo, like Lu Feng, would lead a few people to make up numbers for support, or use the amateur gambling tricks he learned from Brother Mao to swindle people. He wasn't even a notable figure in Chengguan. After hooking up with Hong Xing, he became their puppet.
Now, if he were asked to pay a hundred thousand yuan, he would have to report to Hong Xing. Most importantly, if he admitted defeat in front of thousands of people, how could he still be the boss of Chengguan?
"Beep beep."
A silver SUV sped over. The onlookers parted, and it stopped in front of Bao Guo. To everyone's surprise, Brother Mao and Hu Zhenghua got out of the car.
"Mr. Yang, let's talk things through. No need for violence. It's all a misunderstanding."
As soon as Hu Zhenghua got out of the car, he shouted. He and Brother Mao were originally in Luogang Town helping Hong Xing manage the casino. Er Ping was his cousin. He knew about Er Ping causing trouble here. However, when Yu Feng called him saying Er Ping was detained by Yang Jian, he panicked and rushed over with Brother Mao.
Brother Mao also quickly waved his hands, "Little Yang, put down your weapons. It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Let's go inside and talk for a while."
"t"
Biao Biao pointed his pump-action shotgun forward, "Stop right there. If you take another step, I won't be polite."
Hu Zhenghua and Brother Mao were startled. They stopped immediately after taking two steps and looked at Yang Jian nervously.
Yu Feng walked out of the crowd at this moment and stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall, "Er Jian, let them two come over to talk. The commotion is too big. If the police are alerted, it will be troublesome."
Yang Jian nodded, agreeing with his suggestion. With so many people watching Biao Biao fire his gun, if he were held accountable by the police, he would go to jail.
Yu Feng waved his hand, "Mr. Hu and Brother Mao, come over."
With Yu Feng in between, the two cautiously walked over.
"Mr. Hu, to make a long story short, this person named Er Ping is your brother, right?"
Yu Feng directly negotiated with the two. At this moment, she wanted to use Yang Jian's influence to establish her authority, letting Bao Guo and others know that Yang Jian was her brother, and that the two of them joining forces would make anyone dare to bully her.
Hu Zhenghua looked at Er Ping, who was lying on the ground beaten, and stiffly nodded, "Yes, he is my cousin."
"Er Ping drew a gun and acted arrogantly at our casino, using a lighter as a bet. The first time he won a hundred thousand, Huang Di paid the money. Later, when he lost, he reneged on the payment, threatened my brother with a gun. Let's not waste time. Take the money and take Er Ping back quickly."
"How much?"
"One hundred thousand."
"Can it be less?"
"Mr. Hu, this money is to be paid to Huang Di Company, not to us. When Er Ping won money, Huang Di Company didn't short him a cent. Can he haggle when he loses?"
"But I don't have a hundred thousand in cash right now. Sister Feng, could you advance it first? I'll transfer it to you later. Let Mr. Yang release the person first."
"I'm sorry, I don't have money either. Besides, you still owe me the five hundred thousand from Lu Feng last time."
Yu Feng was now confident and no longer gave Hu Zhenghua face. This person appeared honest on the surface, but he was very cunning. Last time, to bring down Lao Gui, it was agreed that he would pay five hundred thousand, but in the end, when Lu Feng had an accident, he denied it.
How could she be fooled by him again this time? She also didn't plan to continue interacting with him in the future.
Hu Zhenghua was a bit embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing them dawdling, Yang Jian stepped on Er Ping's right leg. Er Ping, who was already in excruciating pain, let out another loud wail.
The onlookers found it chilling. This Yang Jian was too violent. Little did they know that Yang Jian had no intention of letting Er Ping go. Even if Hu Zhenghua came with money to redeem him, he would still cripple him. This was just the first step of his revenge.
"Pay the money, pay the money, Mr. Yang, don't hit him anymore. Can you arrange for two people to go with me to Chengguan to get the money now?"
Brother Mao knew that Yang Jian was ruthless. Without seeing the money, no one would be of any use.
"Then let Huang Di Company send people. The money is for them."
Yang Jian beckoned to Wu Zhi, who was standing not far away.
"We'll go with you."
Brothers Wu Zhi and Wu Xian immediately ran over. They were not afraid of offending people.
"Mr. Yang, release the person first. Er Ping needs to be sent to the hospital immediately. I guarantee I'll go get the money."
Brother Mao wanted to take Er Ping away immediately.
Yang Jian ignored him. These people were untrustworthy and had no credibility.
Hu Zhenghua could only turn to Yu Feng for help, "Sister Feng, can you say something to help?"
Yu Feng then turned and whispered to Yang Jian, "Let him go. Brother Mao, although he is a bit cunning, he still abides by some unspoken rules of the jianghu. He is more reliable than Hu Zhenghua. Moreover, he wouldn't dare to lie to you. Too much time has passed, and we need to wrap things up quickly."
Yang Jian nodded and said loudly, "Okay, Sister Feng has the final say. I'll let him go."
Just as Hu Zhenghua was about to help Er Ping up, Yang Jian suddenly swung his club and hit Er Ping's kneecap. Er Ping screamed and fainted on the spot.
"You, why did you hit him again?"
Hu Zhenghua, furious, ran over and picked up Er Ping.
Yang Jian put away his club, "I said, whoever points a gun at my head, I will make sure he has no chance to retaliate against me. He is not the first, but I hope he is the last."
This statement was a clear warning, directed at Brother Mao and Bao Guo.
Brother Mao dared not respond. He quickly helped Hu Zhenghua carry Er Ping into the small car, and then rushed to Chengguan with the Wu brothers.
Bao Guo also took the opportunity to slip away. He had no say here and didn't even dare to leave any harsh words.
"Remember, I run this place. Anyone who cuts off my financial path, I won't let them off easily."
Yang Jian roared at Bao Guo's retreating back, also warning some of the small punks present not to think of causing trouble here again.
Bao Guo fled in disgrace. Liang Liang went in and released the other young men who had been causing trouble, without further bothering them.
"Er Jian, you handled today's matter beautifully. Your prestige in the entire Xinhe is now completely solidified."
Yu Feng pulled Yang Jian into the ancestral hall and gave him a thumbs-up.
"Sister Feng, was Biao Biao's shooting okay just now?"
Yang Jian was concerned about his brother's safety.
"It's fine. No one should have called the police, and no one was injured. Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll handle it."
Yu Feng was very excited. On one hand, the rift with Yang Jian had finally healed. From now on, as long as she treated him sincerely, he would help her when she had problems. On the other hand, she had successfully leveraged his influence, making Bao Guo and others, as well as everyone present, believe that Yang Jian was still her brother and that they should listen to her at critical moments.
