CHAPTER 1178: CHAPTER 1174: A SUDDEN TURN OF EVENTS

Five minutes later, five Land Rovers and five Prados pulled up in front of the restaurant.

Out of the cars stepped a uniform group of strong men in suits.

The scene was just like in the movies when the big shots of the underworld make an appearance, full of menace.

If it were an average person witnessing this, they’d probably have been intimidated.

But Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh at such a sight.

Because he recognized these vehicles and had a pretty good idea who was sitting inside them.

"Heh, kid, being able to have our big brother come over personally is quite an honor for you," said the thug, emboldened by the arrival of his boss.

He sneered at Chen Yang, then immediately changed his expression, walking obsequiously towards the people getting out of the cars.

At the same time, the spectacled man in the alley not far away also saw what was happening in front of the restaurant.

"Great, with Boss Fu here personally, what do we have to worry about? Let’s all go out together, brothers!" The spectacled man smiled smugly and then led the group of thugs out of the alley.

They also walked obsequiously towards the Prados.

In just five minutes, two groups of people had gathered at the entrance of the restaurant.

There were at least a hundred people, creating a rather frightening scene.

Yang Caiyun was somewhat worried seeing this scene.

Although Chen Yang could fight, there were so many of them on the other side, and there might even be hidden weapons.

"Yang Zi... maybe we should call the police..."

Yang Caiyun, concerned about Chen Yang, whispered to him.

Chen Yang smiled and patted Yang Caiyun’s hand, which was tightly gripping his: "Sis, don’t worry, no need to call the police for these small fry."

Yang Caiyun knew Chen Yang well enough to know he wasn’t the type to bluff.

So when she heard this, her tension eased somewhat.

"Alright..."

Yang Caiyun agreed softly, saying no more.

Once the thugs had gathered, the spectacled man spoke amongst them.

Then a hundred or so people swarmed towards Chen Yang, surrounding him completely.

The atmosphere was quite frightening, yet Chen Yang’s expression didn’t change at all; he remained calm and composed.

"Kid, got anything to say?"

The spectacled man approached Chen Yang with an air of arrogance, triumphantly asking.

Chen Yang slightly nodded, "Yes."

Hearing him say yes, the spectacled man became even prouder.

"Then go ahead and speak. I permit you to talk now."

"I realize that people like you won’t learn a lesson unless it’s a severe one," Chen Yang said calmly.

The spectacled man’s smile immediately froze upon hearing this.

He had expected Chen Yang to beg for mercy given their intimidating numbers, something anyone would fear.

Yet Chen Yang not only refused to beg but even scolded him.

This made him feel as though he’d been figuratively slapped, his cheeks burning.

"You’re begging for death, damn it!"

The spectacled man yelled, raising his hand to lead the charge against Chen Yang.

But just as he was about to make a move, a loud shout came from behind: "Stop!"

The site of thugs turned their heads towards the source of the voice.

They saw a well-dressed overweight man being escorted by a group of strong men as he got off a Prado.

Seeing the man, the thugs automatically made way for him, not daring to block his path.

The spectacled man’s face immediately turned obsequious: "Fu... Boss Fu, why did you come down? You’re really giving me face."

The spectacled man acted like a toady, approaching him with a fawning smile.

But Boss Fu didn’t pay him any mind, walking straight to the center of the crowd.

The spectacled man still hadn’t realized anything was wrong.

He assumed Boss Fu was backing him up by coming down personally.

Thinking this, he became even more confident, holding his head high.

"Boss Fu... it’s this guy, he attacked me in the street. You have to stand up for me," the spectacled man said loudly, pointing at Chen Yang.

Boss Fu’s face remained inscrutable, giving no hint of what he was thinking.

But the spectacled man misinterpreted Boss Fu’s grim expression as being on his behalf.

So he continued speaking with even more enthusiasm.

"This bastard doesn’t respect you at all. Even with so many of us surrounding him, he dared to spout off!" the spectacled man said.

"Kneel down and apologize."

Boss Fu finally spoke after a moment of thought.

The spectacled man’s face lit up with joy at these words, directly pointing at Chen Yang and loudly saying: "Did you hear that? Boss Fu wants you to kneel down and apologize!"

Slap...

Before he finished speaking, Boss Fu’s palm landed on his swollen face.

This slap left the spectacled man stunned.

The onlooking lackeys were also wide-eyed, utterly confused.

"Boss... Boss Fu, what are you doing..." After being in a daze for five or six seconds, the spectacled man finally asked incredulously.

Boss Fu’s face darkened to the extreme, yelling furiously, "I told you to kneel and apologize to him!"

This left the spectacled man even more bewildered.

What’s going on? He has to apologize himself, is this a mistake?

"Why... why, Boss Fu?" the spectacled man asked, bewildered.

For this question, he naturally earned another slap.

After the two slaps, the swelling on his face cracked and began to bleed.

"When I say apologize, you apologize. What’s with all the talking? If you dare to hesitate again, I’ll take your life!" Boss Fu erupted in fury, like an enraged lion ready to tear the spectacled man apart at any moment.

The spectacled man was frightened, not daring to say more, he immediately followed Boss Fu’s order and with a plop, kneeled before Chen Yang.

This scene left the surrounding thugs collectively dumbfounded, filled with question marks, unable to comprehend the situation.

"Heh, Brother Chen Yang, who would’ve thought we’d have such an unpleasant misunderstanding again, really sorry about that." After the spectacled man knelt down, Boss Fu suddenly changed his face, smiling as he apologized to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang chuckled at this, "Fu Deren, your men are quite something, always finding ways to trouble me. Did you just ignore my last warning?"

This Boss Fu was none other than Fu Deren from Shangshan Village.

Though he had been doing well in the county, he had been thoroughly dealt with by Chen Yang, to the point where seeing Chen Yang was like a mouse spotting a cat—absolutely terrified.

"No, no, Brother Chen Yang, it’s all because my men are blind to things. I’d never dare offend you, truly sorry," Fu Deren lowered his stance again, sincerely apologizing to Chen Yang.

This scene terrified the kneeling spectacled man, making him tremble all over.

He wasn’t a fool. From Fu Deren’s attitude, it was clear that Chen Yang was someone even Fu Deren couldn’t afford to offend.

If his big brother couldn’t afford to offend Chen Yang, and he had offended him, that was basically a death wish, wasn’t it?

Realizing this, the back of the spectacled man drenched in sweat instantly.

Sweat streamed down uncontrollably.

In just a few seconds, he was soaked as if he’d just stepped out of a bath.

"B-Boss, I was wrong, I didn’t recognize you, please don’t take it to heart,"

The spectacled man, being a shrewd person, immediately started kowtowing to apologize to Chen Yang the moment he realized the situation wasn’t right.

Previously, he had only kneeled without apologizing.
