Chapter 197: Matters of the Jianghu are Settled by the Jianghu
At the entrance.
A big man with a tiger's back and bear's waist, sporting a stubbly beard, sauntered in, swinging his arms.
Just by the look of him.
He was likely scary enough to make a child cry at just one glance.
Behind him followed two rows of people.
Ten in a row, there were about twenty men in total.
In the hands of these twenty men, they each held a long object wrapped in newspaper. Chen Fang could tell at a glance that they were probably machetes.
"Brother Yong has arrived,"
someone whispered.
Sure enough, just as Chen Fang expected.
The muscular man leading the way was none other than the legendary boss of Jinde County, Niu Yong.
As soon as Niu Yong entered,
he saw the chaos in the hall,
and the followers rolling on the floor.
The one that was first hit by the ashtray struggled to his feet and staggered over to Niu Yong's side, whispering something about Chen Fang.
Blue veins popped on Niu Yong's forehead in an instant.
However, he didn't attend to Chen Fang first, but walked over to Sister Youyou and asked, "Are you okay? No harm done?"
"I'm fine."
Sister Youyou shook her head.
Niu Yong patted her waist gently,
and said, "Alright, leave this matter to me."
After speaking,
he pulled over a chair and placed it in front of Chen Fang.
He sat down,
crossing his left leg over his right.
He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and asked, "What's your honorable surname, young man?"
"Chen."
Chen Fang replied indifferently.
"Brother Chen, is this your first visit to Tonight's Gathering?"
"It is."
"Not a local?"
"That's right."
Don't underestimate these questions.
Niu Yong didn't get to where he was today without some smarts.
He saw Chen Fang's fearless demeanor as soon as he walked in; he always had to probe for the other person's background because ordinary ruffians wouldn't dare cause such trouble.
If he's not a local, there's nothing much to be afraid of.
Niu Yong snorted coldly and said, "Brother Chen, you came here to spend money. We at Tonight's Gathering treat our guests with respect, but you, you come here and trash the place? That seems a bit unreasonable."
Chen Fang chuckled and said, "If you're open for business, then the customer is always right. You don't need me to teach you that. If you didn't satisfy me, what's wrong with me losing my temper?"
"What's got the young brother dissatisfied?"
"I want her to spend the night with me, but she's unwilling. What, afraid I can't afford it?"
Chen Fang pointed at Sister Youyou behind Niu Yong as he spoke.
Niu Yong clenched his fists and said, "She's my woman."
"Oh? She's your wife?"
Chen Fang feigned surprise.
Then he said, "You let your wife sell herself? Quite the open-minded husband, I must say. No worries, I don't mind your wife. I'll be gentle with her tonight, to show you some respect."
"Impudent!"
With a smack,
Niu Yong finally exploded.
The lighter in his hand was slammed onto the ground and burst apart.
The other people jumped in shock.
He stood up abruptly, pointing at Chen Fang and roared, "You have some nerve, causing trouble on my turf, Niu Yong's territory. If I don't rip your mouth today, then my name isn't Niu."
"No need for that, Brother Niu, you're too kind. Just because I sleep with your wife doesn't mean you become my son. No need to change your surname to mine."
Chen Fang waved his hand as he spoke.
This was only adding fuel to the fire.
Niu Yong stretched out his hand, about to give an order.
At this moment,
Chen Fang also suddenly stopped smiling.
He slowly stood up.
His mocking gaze turned fierce.
"Niu Yong, keep calm. I advise you not to be rash, or else, by tomorrow, there'll be no place for the likes of you in Jinde County," he said.
"Quite the big talk, I don't believe it. You, an outsider, a small shrimp, what waves could you possibly make? Brothers..."
He was just about to shout out his last sentence.
Chen Fang in front of him sat down leisurely once again.
In the parking lot at the entrance of the club tonight.
The doors of countless cars opened at the same time.
Following that, an uncountable number of dark figures streamed into the lobby.
The first row blocked all the entrance doors to the lobby, the second and third rows watched over Niu Yong's men, and the last row of a dozen people directly blocked the club's main entrance.
They surrounded everyone inside the lobby.
Niu Yong was stunned.
And he wasn't the only one stunned.
All the staff of the club were stunned as well.
Such a grand spectacle.
They had never seen anything like it.
"All unrelated people, you have five minutes to leave this place, otherwise if you get hurt when we start fighting, don't blame me, okay?"
Chen Fang, on the sofa, shouted loudly.
Those who came to patronize, those who were prepared to watch the show, upon hearing this, fled in a panic.
Very quickly.
In less than five minutes.
Only the two groups remained in the club's lobby.
"Who the hell are you?"
Such a big display, it seemed you came prepared.
This act of provocation today was also something you had set up in advance.
Seeing the situation clearly, Niu Yong asked through gritted teeth.
Chen Fang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I said it when I came in, I'm a customer. Boss Niu, your hospitality is lacking, so my brothers just came out to show support. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Hmph, I don't care who you are, this is Jinde County. In Jinde County, nobody dares to touch Niu Yong!"
Facing a stronger enemy, Niu Yong did not back down.
He still carried the pride of being the top dog of Jinde County.
After speaking.
He stealthily glanced at a subordinate by his side.
The subordinate instantly understood.
He shakily took out his phone.
But Chen Fang caught him red-handed.
"Boss Niu, are you trying to call the police, or asking for help? It's a matter of the underworld, don't you even understand this rule?"
Chen Fang asked.
Niu Yong, with his actions seen through, blushed and became flustered.
He said, "I don't even know your damn background, and you talk to me about underworld rules? Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Oh? Boss Niu wants to know my background? Well, you could've just said so."
After Chen Fang finished speaking.
He took out his phone, pressed a few buttons, and then handed it to Niu Yong.
Niu Yong took the phone with skepticism and put it to his ear, and a cheerful voice said, "Old Niu, long time no see."
Niu Yong jerked in response.
It seemed he was remembering the voice.
Suddenly recalling someone in his mind, he asked, "Cheng... Brother Cheng?"
"Hehe, Old Niu, you still remember me, huh? Not bad, not bad, I thought you'd forgotten about your brother already."
The caller was indeed Zhang Cheng.
Niu Yong immediately became respectful.
He said, "How could I forget anyone, let alone Brother Cheng, huh."
Then he looked up at Chen Fang and inquired, "This Chen... Brother Chen, is he one of Brother Cheng's men?"
"My brother, my sworn brother. He is me, and I am him."
On the phone, Zhang Cheng said.
Niu Yong took a sharp breath and said, "Brother Cheng, I, Old Niu, have always kept the peace with you. What's the meaning of this move?"
"Old Niu, have you heard about what happened to Leopard from Dongli County a while back?"
Zhang Cheng asked.
Niu Yong said with a start, "I've heard about it, but it's got nothing to do with me."
"Do you know who Leopard offended?"
"Wasn't it you?"
Niu Yong asked.
Zhang Cheng laughed.
He said, "No, no, Leopard offended the King of Hell in front of you. When you have time, take a trip to Dongli County. I hear that guy now can't control his bowels, can't even take care of himself anymore, right?"
