Encountering the Tibetan antelope didn't delay them much, and they successfully transported the apples back to their temporary camp.
Li Tianming and Wang Qin were unaware of their impending arrival and had already left the Micro World.
They piled the apples in the camp, covered them with leaves, and then left; it wasn't a suitable place to stay overnight, so it was better to leave.
The next day, Chen Yang and Mo Xi continued their tour of Shanghai, visiting the Oriental Pearl Tower, seeing the Huangpu River, and eating local cuisine. The day was quite fulfilling. However, after taking Mo Xi home that evening, Chen Yang encountered some roadblocks.
"Your name is Chen Yang, right?"
He Xiao appeared before Chen Yang, accompanied by eight burly men, several of whom were carrying iron bars. The situation was quite clear.
He looked at Chen Yang with a sneer. So what if Chen Yang had training? Two fists can't beat four hands. Just to be on the safe side, he called over eight people, and all eight of them were retired soldiers.
"Chen Liu, come here. Your uncle will teach this heartless man a lesson for your mother."
He Xiao waved to Chen Liu.
"Uncle He, let me mourn for you for three minutes first," Chen Liu said, blinking.
He Xiao was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Liu didn't answer him. Instead, he said to Chen Yang, "He is the only son of the second largest shareholder of Grandpa's company. Although he is called the second largest shareholder, his shareholding is 124 percent less than that of Grandpa. Grandpa has absolute control."
"So he's pursuing Mo Xi?"
Chen Liu nodded and said, "Yes, he was assigned to be the deputy general manager of a subsidiary company that works with my mother. If he can marry my mother, he should be able to take control of the company. I don't know the specifics."
The father and son's exchange stunned He Xiao. He had always known that Chen Liu was a genius, but in his eyes, a genius was a child who could instantly calculate numbers like 4581*4556. He never expected that Chen Liu's emotional intelligence would be so terrifying.
He Xiao knew of Chen Liu's existence, and he also knew of Chen Yang's existence, but he had never taken Chen Yang seriously. In addition, Mo Xi had been paying attention to Chen Yang, so it was inconvenient for him to take action. He never expected that Chen Yang would actually come to him.
He didn't know what happened back then, but he knew that Chen Yang was an obstacle he had to eliminate.
If he could marry Mo Xi, then taking control of the company would be just around the corner. As for the younger heir, Chen Liu, there are plenty of ways to deal with that.
"Go, but don't hurt the child," He Xiao said fiercely. He didn't intend to argue with Chen Yang anymore. In his eyes, Chen Yang was the kind of opportunistic sycophant who came back for money and tried to get back together with Mo Xi. He had seen too many people like this. He would beat him up and throw a few hundred thousand yuan at him, and he wouldn't dare to come back. He could even become a pawn under his control.
Several burly men approached with sinister grins. They had done this kind of thing many times before. Although the employer had said that the man in front of them had martial arts skills, so what? They believed they could take on many opponents at once, especially since they now had the overwhelming numerical advantage.
"Chen Liu, step back, don't hurt yourself," Chen Yang said.
Xiao Chen nodded obediently, ran a short distance back, and then turned around.
"You're smart enough to go easy on me then," a burly man at the front sneered.
Chen Yang shook his head, assumed the starting stance of Xingyi Quan, and said, "I am very grateful to you. I haven't had much opportunity to fight since I learned the boxing. The eight of you should be able to pose a threat to me."
The eight burly men found it utterly ridiculous when they saw Chen Yang strike the same pose as the old man practicing boxing in the park.
"Kid, I've seen guys like you before. By now, the grass on your grave is already three meters high. Today, I'll show you what real boxing is."
The big man's fist, as big as a clay pot, came crashing down on me. It was clear he was trained; his movements were simple, without any unnecessary tricks, and had a military style.
Chen Yang's eyes narrowed. He wanted to test how strong he could be by combining his strength with his technique, so he didn't use any other techniques and threw a straight punch just like the big man. However, unlike the big man, his fist shot out like a spring.
Before anyone could react, they heard the big man scream in pain; his hand had been dislocated in the collision.
Chen Yang's strength was at most similar to his, but when his fist made contact with Chen Yang's, he felt as if his fist was being sucked in, and then a force suddenly burst out, which he was completely unable to resist.
Chen Yang wasn't going to just watch the big man yell. He moved nimbly, lunged forward, and punched the big man in the chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Then, he quickly pounced on his next target.
"Go, go quickly!" He Xiao shouted anxiously. He hadn't expected that Chen Yang could still hurt his men under these circumstances.
However, he didn't think Chen Yang had a chance to win. He believed that his subordinates had underestimated him and Chen Yang had taken the initiative. Moreover, Chen Yang himself had some skill, so it was normal for him to win in a one-on-one fight. If it were a siege, they would be doomed.
But when he saw what happened next, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Chen Yang moved like a monkey amidst the attacks of the group, easily dodging their attacks with simple bends and stretches. He nimbly darted among the group of veterans, who were unable to form a proper encirclement.
Chen Yang's fists didn't stop either. After just over a minute, there was only one person left standing on the field, and that was Chen Yang.
Chen Yang frowned and rubbed his shoulder blade; he had been accidentally hit. With his wolf-like agility and the locking ability of his Eagle Eyes, he shouldn't have made such a basic mistake. It seemed he still lacked practical experience.
He Xiao was completely dumbfounded, never expecting that Chen Yang was still reflecting on his actions. Chen Yang stood silently among the eight burly men lying on the ground groaning, his calm expression utterly awe-inspiring.
“Uncle He Xiao, you should run away now. It’s unwise of you to stand here,” Xiao Chenliu said to He Xiao as he walked over again.
He Xiaogang paused in his steps as he was about to leave. After hesitating and struggling for a long time, he ultimately didn't have the courage to rush up and fight Chen Yang to the death, nor did he have the face to leave.
"Chen Yang, don't be so arrogant. There's absolutely no way Mo Xi will marry you. Stop daydreaming," He Xiao said angrily, her face flushed.
Chen Yang glanced at him. With such a mindset and audacity, he still wanted to marry Mo Xi and fight for the shares. It was simply wishful thinking. Mo Xi probably wouldn't even need to use her brain to deal with him.
“Son, go back and teach your mother the Xingyi Quan that Grandpa Yun gave you. I reckon this guy will do something desperate sooner or later.” Chen Yang picked up Chen Liu and said to him.
After saying that, he ignored He Xiao and walked towards the hotel.
He Xiao looked at Chen Yang, who was facing away from him and still holding Chen Liu, and a sinister look appeared on his face. He quietly picked up the iron rod that a retired soldier had just used but had not done any good, and threw it at Chen Yang.
"Go to hell!"
At the crucial moment, Chen Yang dodged lightly, and the iron rod missed its target, crashing onto the lawn beside him.
"They didn't even have the courage to rush up."
Chen Yang shook his head, then picked up a stone from the roadside and threw it at He Xiao. He Xiao had no time to dodge. He was hit in the abdomen and fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Chen Yang, carrying Chen Liu, left without looking back.
In a corner of the alley, Li Si took in everything. Looking at the group of people lying on the ground, he fell silent.
Li Si considered himself a fairly skilled fighter. After retiring from martial arts, he had learned a few moves from a certain grandmaster. He believed that if he managed to deal with these people properly, he still had a chance of defeating them.
But Chen Yang completely overwhelmed him; his movements were incredibly agile and precise, and Li Si could tell that he was using Xingyi Quan.
To reach this level in Xingyi Quan requires both talent and over a decade of hard work. According to his sources, Chen Yang didn't grow up practicing martial arts from a young age.
"It seems we need to investigate this further."
