Chapter 1222: My Battlefield
Yang Fei gently closed the gift box and said indifferently.
"I just don't know who would send such a grand gift, I can't possibly accept it."
Yang Zongren chuckled, "That guy is reckless in his actions and has offended Brother Yang."
"He doesn't dare to show up, but he asked me to apologize to Brother Yang on his behalf. If Brother Yang forgives him, he will personally come out and toast to Brother Yang as an apology."
Yang Fei made a sound of acknowledgment and looked at Yang Zongren calmly.
"So, Brother Yang knows what wrongdoing this person has committed?"
Yang Zongren laughed heartily and poured a cup of tea for Yang Fei.
"I'm not clear about the details, but I know that guy's flaws, nothing more than petty and despicable deeds that are beneath dignity."
"This fool must have either offended Brother Yang over a woman or failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended Brother Yang."
"But regardless of the reason, the fact that he's willing to send such a heavy gift as an apology shows that he's sincerely remorseful."
"I hope Brother Yang, for the sake of so many good friends, can forgive him this once. More friends mean more paths, right?"
By now, Yang Fei's mind was clear; the "fool" Yang Zongren referred to was undoubtedly Chu Liang.
Listening to Yang Zongren, Yang Fei realized that Yang Zongren did not know about Evil Dragon's betrayal, and he felt relieved.
Yang Fei thought silently to himself.
"This Yang fellow seems like a decent person. If he were in cahoots with Chu Liang, I'd show no mercy. But if he's just trying to be kind, there's no need."
He pondered for a moment, noticing Susu observing him with a complex gaze.
Yang Fei smiled slightly, "In that case, please invite the person who sent the gift to come out and meet. Having accepted such a grand gift, I feel a bit embarrassed."
Yang Zongren was overjoyed upon hearing Yang Fei's words.
He cheerfully stood and pulled out his phone to make a call.
"Brother Yang has graciously agreed to forgive you, hurry out here and toast to Brother Yang."
All the rich heirs present cheered loudly, except Susu who looked at Yang Fei with a peculiar smile.
Soon, a young man entered from the front door, slightly overweight, showing utmost respect, walking cautiously, barely daring to look at Yang Fei.
Chu Liang!
Upon seeing him, Yang Fei's anger surged.
Yet his face remained extremely calm, and he said indifferently, "Chu Liang, you finally showed up."
Chu Liang hung his head low, not daring to approach Yang Fei, whispering.
"Brother Yang, I know I was wrong, I hope Brother Yang can forgive me."
Yang Fei pointed to the nearest chair beside him indifferently, "Sit!"
Chu Liang hesitated for a moment, eventually not daring to approach Yang Fei, and forced a smile.
"I was wrong, I'd better stand and listen to Brother Yang's teachings."
Seeing Chu Liang so afraid of Yang Fei, everyone couldn't help but be curious, asking Yang Zongren about the story.
Yang Zongren scolded with a laugh, "It's nothing serious, just a mistake every man makes."
After saying this, he recounted the affair between Chu Liang and Xue'er, making everyone jeer, laugh, and curse.
"Chu Liang, you're quite good at enjoying life. Looking all honest but secretly not at all!"
"Come on, what's this? Anyone here dare to swear they've never played around like this?"
"Pfft, you men are all rotten!"
"Sister Jing, I heard recently you're quite close with a handsome athlete from Huaqing University, is there a secret affair?"
...
Everyone joked about crude topics, their previously displayed artistic flair turning into vulgar street rogues.
Yet Susu remained silent, always watching Yang Fei, her gaze soft like a gentle spring.
Chu Liang, however, anxiously looked at Yang Fei, his eyes full of pleading.
Yang Fei also looked at him coldly, as if flames were about to burst from his eyes.
Thinking of the Evil Dragon Brothers' deaths, he wished he could slice this guy before him into pieces.
After reveling for a while, they finally noticed the abnormal tension between Yang Fei and Chu Liang, voices quieting down, eventually becoming extremely silent.
Yang Zongren frowned, reaching out to gently pat Yang Fei's shoulder.
"Chu Liang indeed was wrong, but he's offered cars and properties and apologized sincerely, I'd say let it pass."
"As far as I know, that girl and Brother Yang only had a brief encounter, nothing more."
Yang Fei snorted coldly, turning around, his eyes icy.
"Do you know that girl slit her wrist and committed suicide? She died in her father's arms."
Yang Zongren's frown deepened.
"Love causes the most harm. Since the girl stepped into this circle, she should know she couldn't be with Chu Liang. It's just unfortunate this girl was too sentimental and foolish."
Yang Fei laughed coldly, "So, you're saying she deserved to die? Anyone who truly loves deserves to die?"
The betrayal involving Evil Dragon was a top secret.
Before Yang Fei clarified the details, he would never reveal it.
Yang Zongren was a bit displeased.
With his status, treating Yang Fei with such courtesy was only because Yang Fei had an influential uncle, Li Qing.
But now, this kid was being disrespectful.
His expression turned much cooler.
"I didn't say that girl deserved to die. I'm just saying, within this circle, let's not harm the harmony."
"Brother Yang doesn't accept Chu Liang's apology, that's fine, but this is Yiyun Studio, we ought to give Susu some face."
"Why not discuss things with Chu Liang?"
At this point, he signaled Chu Liang to leave quickly.
Seeing Yang Fei's angry gaze, Chu Liang's heart was already beating nervously. He turned and left as soon as he noticed Yang Zongren's eyes.
His heart guilty, he started running after just a few steps, looking extremely embarrassed.
Yang Fei sneered, "Finally seeing you, and you think you can slip away?"
As he spoke, he slapped the table, and two keys sprang from the gift box.
Yang Fei grabbed the keys and threw them backhanded.
"Return your gift, take back and buy a coffin!"
The two keys whistled sharply, with two thuds, blood splattered, piercing Chu's calves.
He let out a scream, staggering, and then became a rolling gourd.
All were in an uproar!
Though the Chu Family wasn't significant, Chu Liang himself held an important position in the Military Affairs Office.
However, at this moment, Yang Fei attacked and injured Chu Liang; this courage was audacious beyond belief!
Yang Zongren was furious, leaping to his feet.
Chu Liang had sought his help to plead with Yang Fei.
But now Yang Fei not only refused the plea but also injured someone, where did this leave Yang Zongren's honor?
"Yang Fei, don't go too far! This is Yiyun Studio in the Capital City, not your battlefield."
Listening to Yang Zongren's angry shout, Yang Fei laughed coldly.
"Wherever there's injustice in The Human Realm; that's my battlefield!"
