Capítulo 1505: Chapter 1704: More People Than Us? Who’s Afraid of Whom!

Street food stalls can be found in almost every city in Huaxia. During the day, they might only have a sparse few tables set up, but come night, they are bustling with activity.

The stall Hao Jian brought Liang Yuwei to eat at was virtually the busiest one on this street, never lacking customers, and today was no exception.

There’s a reason for the business being so good; the food is definitely authentic and tasty, so while eating, Liang Yuwei even praised the Big Fatty owner, saying it’s delicious.

Before long, as soon as the skewers came up, Liang Yuwei immediately polished them off.

Yellow Hair awkwardly laughed, could only drink some wine, and then toasted Hao Jian.

Hao Jian never liked this kind of scene; he preferred straightforwardness, just like his own personality, and he never liked this way of interacting.

Liang Yuwei not only devoured skewers quickly but also drank fast. Initially, the wine the owner served wasn’t much, but in no time, Liang Yuwei had swiftly finished several bottles.

At this point, Yellow Hair called out to the owner, “Owner, more wine!”

“Got it!”

Luckily, there were a few assistants who seemed to be the owner’s sons. They carried a case of bottled wine to the table and opened a few bottles to serve.

But then, suddenly, a group of people appeared on the street, marching towards the stall with a menacing air.

Hao Jian, holding a bottle, drank by himself, feeling secretly pleased that they finally arrived.

This group consisted of ten or twenty people, all armed with things in hand, shirtless, with most of them tattooed and looking fierce.

Yellow Hair saw this scene and knew they were targeting him, so he prepared to get up and deal with them.

Even though they looked menacing, there were only about ten or twenty of them, while he had forty or fifty people here. Who was afraid of whom?

Liang Yuwei was too focused on her skewers to notice any of this.

Hao Jian, however, pressed Yellow Hair back down, then whispered, “They’re here for me, you sit down!”

Yellow Hair had no choice but to obediently sit down.

Soon, the group arrived at the stall, with their leader walking in front.

Unexpectedly, it was Yan Chen, whom Hao Jian had just forced to take off his police uniform.

Yan Chen, leading the group of minions, approached Hao Jian. As they advanced, they started smashing things at the stall to drive people away.

The Big Fatty owner promptly rushed out, saying, “Oh, I’m terribly sorry, gentlemen. This small place didn’t host you well. If you want to eat, no problem, it’s on me today. But the seats are full right now. Please wait a moment, and I’ll arrange tables and chairs for you!”

But before Big Fatty could finish, one of Yan Chen’s men rushed out and kicked him hard, knocking Big Fatty to the ground.

In the past, they occasionally encountered unreasonable gangsters like this, mostly wanting free meals or collecting protection fees if they were more established. But rarely did they resort to direct violence like this.

Big Fatty was terrified, and his relatively young son was also scared.

The gangster who kicked Big Fatty said, “Screw you, who’s coming here to eat? Our Brother Chen is here for business.”

Big Fatty sat on the ground, not daring to utter a word.

A glance at these gangsters and you could tell they were vicious; speaking any further might provoke them to violence, which would be far too costly.

Meanwhile, Yan Chen only had eyes for Hao Jian, giving Liang Yuwei a brief look before focusing entirely on Hao Jian.

Hao Jian had instructed Yellow Hair not to move earlier, so Yellow Hair stayed still, and his group, seeing Yellow Hair unmoved, also stayed put.

However, they were all in suits, which was odd in such a large group, and it was hard to immediately associate them with gangsters. After all, only a few gangsters dyed their hair and wore suits, looking like real gangsters.

Yan Chen approached Hao Jian’s table with his minions, then placed a foot on a stool.

Looking at Hao Jian with interest, Yan Chen said, “What a coincidence! We meet again.”

But Hao Jian acted as if he didn’t hear anything.

In the past, Yan Chen might have controlled his temper, but now that his uniform was gone because of Hao Jian, without a position, there was nothing left to restrain.

Yan Chen said, “Not too long ago, you left me with nothing. Fine, I admit defeat, but now, heh, I’m going to make you kneel on the ground, beg for mercy, and lick my dragon root!”

“Do you know what dragon root is? Licking the dragon root! That way I might consider letting you go, but only consider it!” Yan Chen said with a laugh.

Yan Chen’s group of minions burst into laughter.

Yan Chen’s gaze suddenly shifted back to Liang Yuwei.

“Wow, wow, wow, isn’t this our Officer Liang? How has it come to this, eating at a street stall? I can still give you a chance. Follow me now, serve me well, and maybe this young master here will think twice and throw you a bone. Otherwise, once I’m done with Hao Jian, I’ll make sure you have a good time!” Yan Chen said with a menacing look.

The meaning in his words was clear to everyone, especially when he mentioned “a good time,” causing all of his underlings to burst into laughter.

People at the street stall who were eating their skewers quickly left after seeing the scene unfold. No one wanted to be caught up if these gangsters started fighting and ended up hurting innocent bystanders.

The Big Fatty owner looked terrified too. What if they trashed his store? He’d put all his effort into this place, and if it were ruined, everything would be for nothing, and his family would lose their income.

The Big Fatty owner came up and tugged at Yan Chen’s clothes, saying, “Brother, I beg you, I have elders and young ones to feed at home. Please don’t wreck my store, if you do, my whole family will have no place to eat!”

Yan Chen looked impatient, then kicked the Big Fatty owner away and said, “Get the hell out, I have no time for your nonsense right now.”

The group of underlings behind him then took it upon themselves to drag the Big Fatty owner aside and beat him up.

At this moment, Hao Jian said, “Don’t hurt innocent people!”

Yan Chen immediately burst into laughter, then suddenly walked over and knocked the glass out of Hao Jian’s hand, saying, “Who the hell gave you the right to speak here?”

Then he turned around and said, “Hit them, hit them hard!”

Yellow Hair had been suppressing his temper and didn’t say anything, but at this moment, Yan Chen knocked the glass out of Hao Jian’s hand.

Hao Jian’s status in his mind was now undeniable. He had finally found a big tree to lean on, and his future prospects depended on Hao Jian.

So seeing the glass knocked over, Yellow Hair immediately stood up and yelled angrily at Yan Chen, “Who the hell do you think you are, talking to my boss like that? Are you looking to die?”

Yan Chen laughed out loud, pointing at Yellow Hair and laughing.

“You say Hao Jian is your boss?” Yan Chen said.

Yellow Hair didn’t say anything.

Yan Chen suddenly grabbed a bottle in front of him and smashed it, saying angrily, “I dare hit your boss, and you act like a fool in front of me!”

However, at that moment, those underlings who hadn’t moved before suddenly saw their boss being insulted and all stood up at once.

The sound of chairs scraping on the ground, “swish!” as four or five dozen people stood up at once.

Hao Jian’s skewer table was conveniently in the middle, and as these people stood up, they surrounded Yan Chen and his group completely.

Yan Chen and his crew were caught off guard. The Red Hair who had fought with Hao Jian before stood up and yelled angrily at Yan Chen, “Who the hell do you think you are, talking to our boss like that? Planning to die?”

The well-dressed underlings behind him said, “If you want to die, just say so, no need for grandpa here to ask you!”

“Yeah, if you want to die, just say it!”

Yan Chen suddenly didn’t dare say anything because these people, all wearing identical attire, were far more numerous and outnumbered him by more than double, making him afraid to speak.

But he hadn’t noticed these people before; it was only when they all stood up that he finally realized.

At this moment, Yan Chen was dumbfounded.

He had been holding back his temper because Hao Jian said he would handle it, but later Yellow Hair learned that Hao Jian said he would handle it, he was actually testing his own attitude.

If in such a situation he didn’t take action, it would show he wasn’t loyal to Hao Jian; if he did, it would be a sign of loyalty.

So when Yellow Hair understood this, he immediately stood up to speak for Hao Jian.

Hao Jian subconsciously smiled a bit.

At this moment, the attention shifted to Yellow Hair, who looked at Yan Chen and said, “It might have been negotiable before, but now you’ve angered our boss. If we don’t make sure you’re missing an arm or a leg, how am I supposed to account to my big brother!”

At this moment, Yan Chen had finally figured everything out. The four or five dozen people standing were Yellow Hair’s underlings, and Yellow Hair called Hao Jian boss, meaning they all belonged to Hao Jian.

He originally came to trouble Hao Jian and brought along ten or twenty people to show him what’s what, only to find that Hao Jian had called four or five dozen people to deal with him.

Turns out it was a trap for himself, not a trap for Hao Jian.

With the situation clear, Yan Chen’s eyes turned bloodshot, veins bulging on his hands, and he suddenly slapped the subordinate next to him.

Yan Chen said angrily, “I told you to follow me, yet they set us up, didn’t you know.”
