Crack! The table was smashed, startling the barbecue restaurant owner.
Ye Xingchen took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the table: "Boss, this is to compensate you for your losses tonight. Don't call the police. Go find a place to rest for a while."
"Alright." The boss was used to these kinds of fights; he took the money and left.
Several bodyguards carried Chen Qiang over and then threw him to the ground.
Chen Qiang collapsed to the ground with a thud like a dead dog, struggling for a long time without being able to get up.
"What do you want? I'm warning you, this is Boss Wu's territory, don't cause trouble here." Wang Hao was immediately frightened, but he forced himself to remain calm.
Boss Wu is the owner of the black market and has a lot of influence here. He brought up Boss Wu in an attempt to scare the other party away.
"Slap him in the face." Ye Xingchen pointed at Wang Hao.
A bodyguard stepped forward, grabbed Wang Hao, and slapped him across the face.
The bodyguard was a big, burly man. He slapped Wang Hao across the face, making his mouth bleed.
"Keep going, don't stop," Ye Xingchen said.
Slap, slap, slap! Several slaps landed on Wang Hao's face, making him scream in pain.
"Stop hitting me! Just tell me what you want to do, please stop hitting me!" Wang Hao pleaded with a mournful face.
"Where is the thing?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“These things were borrowed by my cousin… no, Chen Qiang. They were originally collected by Boss Wu and were stored away. He borrowed them to use.” Wang Hao had a pig-like face.
"Take me to your boss," Ye Xingchen ordered Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang trembled with fear and said, "Find my boss now, he... he'll kill me, I beg you..."
*Slap*... Ye Xingchen slapped him again, sending him flying, then walked up to him: "Go, or not?"
A look of fear crossed Chen Qiang's face, but he still shook his head, refusing to go even if it meant death.
After all, he knew better than anyone what methods Boss Wu had. He might get a beating from Ye Xingchen, but if things escalated to his boss's place, he would be dead.
With a snap, Ye Xingchen ruthlessly broke one of his arms.
"Ah..." Chen Qiang let out a pig-like scream.
"You may have misunderstood something," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "My methods are perhaps more terrifying than your boss's."
As he spoke, he stepped on Chen Qiang's other hand: "You have five seconds to think it over."
"No! Stop! I'll go! I'll take you to Boss Wu!" Chen Qiang screamed and surrendered. If he hadn't gone, he probably would have been beaten to death by now.
Inside a building in the market, a burly man was tallying up the proceeds from tonight's auction with someone.
Two people were hanging on one side, and someone was whipping them with a water-soaked whip.
The two people writhed, half-dead.
Black markets are places that operate on the fringes of the law.
The burly man was none other than Boss Wu. He was smoking a cigar and glanced at the two men: "You've got some nerve, daring to cause trouble in our Black Wind Market. Who gave you the courage?"
"Master Wu, I will never dare to do it again, please... spare me." One of them pleaded in a weak voice.
"The future? You probably won't have a future. Drag them out and feed them to the wolves in the mountains." Boss Wu waved his hand, deciding the fate of the two men.
Just as his subordinates were about to act, two people were thrown inside with a thud.
The people inside stood up and grabbed their weapons.
Mr. Wu stood up, slowly walked up, glanced at the two people on the ground, and recognized Chen Qiang.
"Qiangzi, what's going on?" Boss Wu asked.
He's a man who's seen it all; things like this happen almost every day, so he didn't take it seriously.
Qiangzi raised his head, mumbling something incoherently, but he had been beaten so badly that he couldn't speak.
Ye Xingchen walked in slowly with Li Yijin. Ye Xingchen smiled and said, "Mr. Wu?"
"That's right, yours?" Boss Wu looked up at Ye Xingchen, his eyes narrowing into slits.
Ye Xingchen is a saint, and Boss Wu will not easily turn against him before he understands Ye Xingchen's intentions.
"Your subordinate sold us something for three million," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "But he switched the item when we paid. I'm here to get that item back."
"What is it?" Mr. Wu frowned.
"The Flower of Two Lifetimes," Ye Xingchen said.
"The Flower of Two Lifetimes?" Mr. Wu looked puzzled. One of his subordinates quickly said, "Mr. Wu, the herb we bought yesterday is said to be a miraculous medicine."
"Oh, which one?" Boss Wu suddenly realized, then glared at Chen Qiang, who was lying on the ground half-dead: "Didn't I tell you to put that thing in the warehouse?"
"Master Wu, please spare me! I... I was momentarily bewitched and borrowed it for a moment," Chen Qiang pleaded, his voice regaining some strength.
"Borrow? Heh, you son of a bitch, do you think you can just lend me my stuff like that?" Boss Wu roared and kicked Chen Qiang in the head.
With a thud, Chen Qiang's head hit the ground hard, immediately bleeding profusely. He didn't even utter a sound before passing out.
"Drag him out." Boss Wu waved his hand, and immediately someone came over and dragged Chen Qiang out.
Then Boss Wu looked up and said, "This kid doesn't follow the rules, so I'll naturally kill him. As for your money, I'm sorry, it's gone."
"We came here to buy things because of your name, Mr. Wu. From what you're saying, Mr. Wu, you're not planning to get involved anymore?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Haha, when have I ever cared about my reputation? Have you ever seen a black market that follows the rules?" Boss Wu said viciously, "You caused trouble here today, but since there was a reason for it, I won't bother with you. Get out of here now."
"You bastard, is this how you run a business? You believe me or not, I'll tear down this lousy place and turn you into a shell-less turtle!" Li Yijin couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing.
"Little girl, watch your mouth." Boss Wu was no pushover either. His face changed: "If you dare to speak rudely again, I won't be polite to you."
"Come on, try being impolite to me." With Ye Xingchen backing her up, Li Yijin wasn't afraid at all.
"Are you dead? Arrest this kid and this girl!" Boss Wu roared.
"Yes." The subordinates all drew their weapons and rushed forward.
A bodyguard behind Li Yijin suddenly appeared, drew his gun, and shot the man who was running in the lead and shouting the loudest in the thigh.
Bang... A gunshot rang out, followed by a scream, and those who had been howling and charging forward immediately fled in terror.
"Useless, all of you are fucking useless. You want to play with guns? I have one too." Boss Wu roared, pulling a gun from under the coffee table.
