Chapter 152: You Owe Me Ten Sticks
The audacious guy had already stripped himself bare.
Only his underwear was left.
The two people holding Zhao Xixi also released their hands.
At this moment, Zhao Xixi was no longer resisting. Like Chen Fang, she just sat silently on the ground, her eyes filled with despair.
It wasn't that she couldn't move.
She was afraid that if she made a move, Chen Fang would resist again. Consequently, she might put him in danger.
"Sweetheart, I'm coming."
The sleazy man rubbed his hands and then reached toward Zhao Xixi's chest.
It happened in a flash.
They only heard a loud bang as the huge wooden door behind them was smashed open.
The front of an SUV barged in.
Wood chips flew everywhere.
The people closest to the door,
were either hit by the car, thrown harshly to the ground,
or hit by the wooden debris from the door, writhing in pain on the ground.
"Grab your weapons!"
It was clear that Leopard hadn't anticipated someone breaking in this way.
He yelled loudly.
All the people in black masks immediately gripped their sticks, glaring menacingly at the car.
The car doors swung open.
A pair of long legs extended from both the driver and the passenger seats.
Both pairs of legs were clad in leather pants, the black kind.
Then, two women who looked identical appeared before everyone.
It was Fang Mei and Fang Gui.
"Tch, who did I think it was? After all that, just a couple of chicks for the boys to play with…"
Seeing it was just two women,
Leopard's worry was put to rest.
The two women had grim expressions on their faces,
standing with their legs apart, stationery.
Fang Mei yelled, "Come out!"
From the shattered doorway, one row after another of people clad in black suits ran in.
They not only had uniform attire but also carried identical steel pipes.
In the blink of an eye, about forty or fifty people had entered, completely surrounding Leopard's gang,
Fang Mei walked over to Chen Fang, helped him up from the ground, while Fang Gui picked up some clothes from the floor and draped them over Zhao Xixi, escorting her to the car.
"May I ask which group you fellows are from? Leave a name!"
Leopard, still somewhat courageous at this time,
only heard a loud, clear voice from the doorway, "Leopard from Dongli, it must have been five or six years since we last met, right?"
Upon hearing this voice,
Leopard began to feel nervous.
They saw a thin, small man, dressed in a Tang suit and wearing cloth shoes, walking in—It was Zhang Cheng.
"Cheng? Is that you?"
Squinting to confirm the identity of the person in front of him, Leopard's forehead began to sweat profusely.
If you looked closely, you would notice his hands starting to tremble slightly.
"It's me,"
Zhang Cheng said with a slight smile.
Leopard seemed still in disbelief, paused, then asked, "Cheng, this matter doesn't concern you. It's not like I deliberately came to your turf to cause trouble. It's a personal grudge, I hope you can turn a blind eye."
Clearly, in terms of underworld stature, this Leopard was no match for Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng walked over next to Chen Fang, frowned, and said, "You see, I, Zhang Cheng, don't really have many brothers, but unfortunately, Chen Fang is my brother. You messed with my brother and asked me to not intervene. Do you think that's reasonable?"
"What? Chen Fang is your brother?"
This response shocked Leopard.
Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Exactly."
"No... not possible... they didn't tell me this, they just said... that Chen Fang... no way, I didn't give them any chance to report, how did you know he was here?"
Leopard seemed to realize something, asking with a nervous expression.
Chen Fang sighed deeply.
He said, "Your plan today was indeed meticulous, you could even say watertight, but you forgot one thing—I live in Tiancheng Garden, and I know all the security guards there. Even though I can't make phone calls, as soon as I went downstairs and gave them a subtle hint, they started following me."
Having said that,
Chen Fang looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "You were a bit slow, I was almost killed."
"How is that my fault? They followed you to this warehouse, then called me, and I had to gather my men. Besides, I was only half an hour late."
Zhang Cheng said somewhat aggrievedly.
Chen Fang was speechless.
He complained, "Only half an hour, you have no idea what I went through."
"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to a drink as an apology when we get back, is that okay?"
"That's more like it."
Watching Zhang Cheng and Chen Fang chat leisurely.
A Bao finally couldn't hold back anymore.
He shouted, "Zhang Cheng, I'm warning you, the higher-ups ordered me to do today's job. I advise you not to get involved, or you won't get off easy either."
"The higher-ups? Who from the higher-ups? Do you think I'd be scared?"
Zhang Cheng asked.
"I won't tell you who. Just don't wade into these muddy waters."
A Bao warned sternly.
Chen Fang chuckled and said, "Isn't it just Mei Jun? Or perhaps it's Mei Shikang's mother, Zhao Shuhua, right?"
He directly named them.
This made A Bao shudder, and he asked, "How do you know?"
Realizing he had misspoken, he quickly explained, "It's not them, there are others."
Chen Fang waved his hand and said, "Stop hiding it, I indeed don't know who you are, but if I had known earlier that you came from Dongli County, I should have guessed who was behind this—all because Zhao Shuhua is one of the top three figures in Dongli County. No wonder you dragged Zhao Xixi into this; it turns out that's the reason. It seems that Shikang hasn't learned his lesson yet."
After saying this,
Chen Fang's gaze turned sharp.
He said, "But since you were able to find such a place and knew the whereabouts of me and Zhao Xixi, that must mean locals helped you, right? Come on, tell me who it is?"
"I'd rather die than tell you,"
A Bao gritted his teeth and said.
Chen Fang nodded.
He said, "Alright then, go ahead and die."
As he finished this sentence,
Chen Fang gestured with his hand.
Zhang Cheng's more than forty men charged out immediately.
A massively overwhelming force.
Although A Bao's men were also fighters, compared to Zhang Cheng's men, their combat strength was markedly inferior. They only lasted about ten seconds before they began to collapse completely; their numbers also put them at a disadvantage, and within a minute or two, the scene had turned into two men in black suits beating up one man in a mask.
In the vast warehouse,
it was filled with wails, screams, and various pleas for mercy.
A Bao still had some fighting capacity,
but compared to Fang Mei and Fang Gui, he was far outclassed.
After a few moves,
he too was laid flat on the ground.
However, his gaze was still resolute,
showing an attitude of dying before yielding.
"Shall I help you ask?"
Zhang Cheng asked Chen Fang.
Chen Fang waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll do it myself this time."
Having said that,
he dragged his stumbling body, bent down, picked up a stick from the ground, and walked over to A Bao.
"Don't think you can coax anything out of me. Beat me to death, and I still won't talk."
Seeing Chen Fang like this, despite being terrified, A Bao still did not show any sign of cowering.
Chen Fang smiled and said, "No worries, you don't have to say anything. Regardless, I need to return the favor of the ten hits you just gave me, right? That would only be fair, wouldn't it?"
After he finished saying this,
Chen Fang gathered his strength and, with a thud, struck A Bao's lower abdomen with the stick.
The "resolve" in A Bao's eyes dissipated instantly as he clutched his stomach and began rolling on the ground.
"That was only the first hit; don't rush."
Chen Fang took a deep breath, swung the stick again, and struck down once more.
