The crowd had never witnessed such a scene and were somewhat frightened.
Seeing his subordinates beaten black and blue, Li Cheng felt something was wrong.
Did something go wrong?
Upon seeing this spectacle, Zhong Sheng became even more excited.
This Li Cheng kid is quite something, making it seem so real.
Soon it would be his turn to descend like a god and drive away these thugs.
"Who is Li Cheng?" Yuan Ren asked with a smile.
"Me." Li Cheng quickly stood up, a forced smile on his face, "Brother, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."
"Come here." Yuan Ren beckoned.
Li Cheng quickly walked over.
Then.
"Slap!"
Yuan Ren slapped Li Cheng across the face and then kicked him to the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
What was going on?
Zhong Sheng was also taken aback, then silently praised Li Cheng in his heart.
This kid is truly dedicated, taking my six thousand yuan and performing so realistically.
Besides, this move is brilliant; by getting beaten himself, he distances himself from the situation, right?
"This is a lesson for not being able to control your own people," Yuan Ren spat, then grinned menacingly, "Now, all the men can leave, and the women stay to have a few drinks with us, and this matter will be over."
There were seventeen people present, seven women and ten men.
Upon hearing Yuan Ren's words, the women's faces turned pale.
Seeing that the time was right, Zhong Sheng stood up and sternly said, "Get out before I get angry."
Yuan Ren looked at Zhong Sheng and asked with a sinister smile, "What did you just say?"
"I told you to get out." Zhong Sheng's voice grew louder, "Do you know who I am?"
"I'm usually the one asking others that," Yuan Ren gestured to his men, "Bring him over."
A young man stepped forward, intending to grab Zhong Sheng.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Sheng kicked out at the young man.
He had already made arrangements with Li Cheng, so why should he be afraid!
Li Cheng, lying on the ground, seeing Zhong Sheng's boldness, couldn't help but close his eyes.
Alas, Brother Zhong, you're mistaken!
Didn't you see I was already beaten?
Enraged by the kick, the young man grabbed Zhong Sheng by the hair and dragged him over.
"It hurts!" Zhong Sheng cried out, "Let go!"
Zhong Sheng was dragged in front of Yuan Ren.
Yuan Ren grabbed Zhong Sheng's face and chuckled, "Pretty boy, you just told me to get out?"
"Get out!" Zhong Sheng roared with red eyes. Was he paying for this ordeal?
"Slap!" Yuan Ren fiercely slapped Zhong Sheng's face, "You dare to say that again?"
Zhong Sheng was going crazy. This wasn't part of the script! He immediately shouted, "Li Cheng!"
"Hahahaha." Yuan Ren slapped Zhong Sheng again, "Keep calling."
After two slaps, Zhong Sheng's face was already swelling. His eyes lost their luster; he was utterly humiliated and still couldn't comprehend why this was happening.
This was not what was agreed upon.
Then, Zhong Sheng was kicked towards Li Cheng's direction.
Lying on the ground, Zhong Sheng saw Li Cheng shake his head at him, his expression complex.
Suddenly, he understood.
These people were not called by Li Cheng!
He had just praised their acting skills, and now he realized how foolish he had been.
"Those who don't want to get beaten, get out now. The women stay." Yuan Ren said, whistling.
This time, several men stood up, intending to flee.
"Just a reminder, if anyone dares to call the police, I'll only spend a couple of days inside at most, but once I'm out, you'll have plenty of trouble," Yuan Ren added with a sinister grin.
The women trembled with fear. Qiao Zixuan clutched Wang Yue's arm, tears welling up, "Wang Yue, what do we do?"
Wang Yue had initially been watching for amusement.
He had thought these people were called by Li Cheng and Zhong Sheng.
Now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
He patted Qiao Zixuan's hand and grinned, "Don't worry."
He then stood up.
"Listen carefully, I'll only say this once."
"Leave." Wang Yue said calmly.
"Another one trying to act tough?" Yuan Ren chuckled and signaled his men.
The young man who had just grabbed Zhong Sheng rushed over, and then, with a bang, flew back faster than he came.
Before Yuan Ren could react, Wang Yue was already in front of him, and a punch landed squarely in his stomach.
"Ugh!" Yuan Ren's eyes bulged, he clutched his stomach and instantly knelt down, gagging. The intense pain left his mind blank.
Then came sounds of various screams around him.
In less than 30 seconds, those seven or eight young men lay sprawled on the ground.
"I told you, I'll only say it once," Wang Yue said with a smile.
Everyone was stunned.
"My God, Wang Yue can actually fight like this?"
"Amazing, this is Ip Man!"
"It's exhilarating to watch, he took people down in pretty much one move; I'd believe he was a special forces soldier."
The women looked at Wang Yue as if he were a knight in shining armor.
The men looked at Wang Yue with admiration.
Yuan Ren's mind finally cleared. He pointed at Wang Yue and said, "You're dead! My older brother is Yuan Jian!"
"Yuan Jian and Yuan Ren, together they make Yuan Jianren, hahaha." Wang Yue laughed.
Yuan Ren pulled out his phone, "You're so good at fighting, aren't you? Dare to let me call someone."
Wang Yue raised his hand and smiled, "Go ahead."
Yuan Jian was beaten to tears by him last time, and now he encounters his brother.
He wondered if Yuan Jian would want revenge when he found out it was him.
Seeing Wang Yue's arrogance, Yuan Ren ignored everything else and immediately called, "Brother, I've been beaten!"
"What! Who the hell dares to bully you! I'll cripple him!" Yuan Jian roared furiously on the other end of the phone.
"It's me," Wang Yue said with a smile, "Do you remember me, Yuan Jian?"
Yuan Jian found the voice familiar. In a flash of inspiration, the scene of him being beaten to tears that day flooded his mind.
Damn it!
How did this idiot brother provoke that King of Hell!
Yuan Jian was so scared he almost hung up the phone.
"Yuan Ren! Apologize to him immediately and beg for this great one's forgiveness!" Yuan Jian shouted almost hysterically.
Ever since Wang Yue had taught him a lesson, Yuan Jian had nightmares about being lifted by one hand and suffocated to death by this guy. He would never forget those terrifying eyes.
Yuan Ren was dumbfounded. He had never seen his brother like this before.
However, although Yuan Ren was a thug, he wasn't stupid. He immediately understood that Yuan Jian must have offended Wang Yue, which was why he was acting this way.
"Sir, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I know I was wrong. Please let me go like a fart." Yuan Ren forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Leave." Wang Yue waved his hand listlessly.
These thugs weren't up to much; they surrendered after just one beating.
Li Cheng's bruised subordinates, along with the disheveled Li Cheng and Zhong Sheng, became the most awkward presences on the scene.
