Chapter 159 The 159th Day of Not Running Away The First Day of Not Running Away...
The tea was served a little slowly. Chen Bo was watching Wen Chan eat mutton soup. The mutton soup was good in every way, except it was a bit salty.
He went out and took care of himself, providing for his own needs.
These kinds of stalls sometimes inevitably end up like this, because during mealtimes, when it gets crowded, customers have to do it themselves.
Just as he was pouring tea into the teapot, a few thugs wearing gold chains walked past him and bumped into him. The leader, a thug with a buzz cut, even glanced at him and said, "Waiter, bring us five beers."
Chen Bo glanced at the other person with a puzzled look, said nothing, and took the teapot back to the table.
The thug glanced at him, probably feeling that Chen Bo was not giving him face, and his expression wasn't very good.
However, Chen Bozheng had more people on his side, so the thug didn't dare to cause trouble.
The thugs quickly chased away the people who hadn't finished eating at the table and plopped down in their seats.
One of the guys with dyed yellow hair cleverly lit a cigarette for the crew-cut thug: "Brother Li, Brother Xun promoted you this time, so you have to take care of us."
"Yeah, Brother Li, don't forget about us when you get any benefits."
The thug next to him also spoke up.
These thugs were loud and gruff.
The moment it arrived, it drowned out the voices of everyone else in the courtyard.
Seeing their menacing manner, the others dared not say anything more.
Liu Yan glanced at them and frowned, saying, "There are more and more thugs these days."
Wen Qunshu said, "Yes, I didn't expect to run into them during the New Year. I heard a few days ago that someone was robbing people on the road."
Chen Bozheng frowned deeply. "Is that so? Have you called the police?"
Wen Qunshu shook his head, took a sip of beer, and sighed contentedly: "So what if I called the police? How many police officers are there now? With so many cases, how can the police handle it all? Besides, we don't even know who it is or how they'll arrest them. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck. I'm fine, but everyone around me knows I'm notoriously poor. You rich folks better watch out."
Wen Qunshu spoke with a mix of teasing and concern.
The monk looked at Liu Yan: "Has anything happened on your end lately?"
Just as Liu Yan was about to speak, one of the thugs suddenly whistled at her, and the whistle was extremely vulgar.
Liu Yan looked up and glanced over there. The person on the other end chuckled and called out from under a stool, "Hey beautiful, you're so pretty! Is that your sister next to you? Why don't you come over and we can all eat together? It's on me!"
This is clearly referring to the cicadas.
A flash of anger crossed Chen Bozheng's eyes, and he pressed his hand on the table, about to go over.
Wen Chan grabbed his hand, not even glancing over there, and said, "Why bother arguing with them? They're a bunch of scoundrels. It's an eyesore to even look at them."
"Let's finish eating quickly and then leave," Liu Yan said. "Those thugs are ignorant and don't know what they're capable of. There's no need to pay them any attention."
Chen Bo took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and coldly glanced over there.
Seeing that they were being ignored and that the man seemed difficult to deal with, the thugs got bored and started spouting all sorts of vulgar and disgusting things.
The people at the surrounding tables couldn't help but frown as they listened.
Those thugs weren't ashamed at all; on the contrary, they were proud of it. Especially when they saw the girls' disgusted expressions, they gave them a disgusting, lecherous look.
"grass!"
Wen Qunshu couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "How disgusting these guys are, ruining the reputation of us men!"
Wen Chan said, "Let's eat, and then we'll leave."
There's so much garbage in society now, how can we possibly manage it all?
Out of sight, out of mind.
Wen Qunshu was about to lower his head when he suddenly saw something, abruptly stood up, pointed at the porter and yelled, "What are you doing? Why are you hugging that young girl?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over and pulled the young girl who worked in the shop out of the porter's arms.
The little girl was so angry that she burst into tears, trembling all over. She raised her hand and slapped the man, yelling, "Pervert!"
"Fuck your mother! You dare hit me!"
At first, Li Ge didn't react. But when he came to his senses and saw his underlings looking at him, he was filled with rage. He stood up abruptly, pulled a watermelon knife from his waist, and shouted, "If I don't shave your face, I'm not Cheng!"
Wen Qunshu quickly shielded the little girl behind him.
Chen Bozheng and the others walked over, staring at the man. Chen Bozheng said, "What are you doing? Trying to harass women in public and then commit violence? Do you know what crime you committed by assaulting someone with a weapon?"
"This is none of your business. Get the hell out of my way! I'm not someone to be trifled with. Watch out, or I'll take you all down with me!"
Li Ge took a knife and slashed at the table next to him.
Just as he made his move, Chen Bozheng gave the monk a look, rushed out, and kicked Li Ge's arm, causing the knife to get stuck on the table.
Several thugs rushed over to help, but the monk simply grabbed a stool and slammed it down on them.
In an instant, tables, chairs, and benches flew everywhere.
The chef who was in charge of making barbecue and mutton soup heard the commotion and, forgetting about his stall, ran to the back. He was startled when he saw his younger sister and rushed over, asking, "Girl, what happened?"
"Big brother!" The little girl, her eyes red, threw herself into her brother's arms, pointing at Li Ge, who was being held down on the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back by Chen Bozheng: "That bastard bullied me!"
The girl's brother was furious and was about to rush up and attack.
Seeing that he was big and burly with arms strong enough to run a horse, Wen Chan said, "Boss, you don't need to worry about the fighting. You should call the police and have these people arrested."
"Yes, yes, we have to call the police!"
The boss snapped out of his daze and, seeing that Wen Chan and Liu Yan were both women with rather unusual airs, said, "Then I'll leave my sister to you. I'll be right back."
Wen Chan agreed.
The police arrived within half an hour and took Li Ge and the others away.
Chen Bozheng and the monk both knew their limits and didn't make any more moves after subduing the man. As a result, the men, including Li Ge, wanted to smear Chen Bozheng and his group, but little did they know that they had provoked a troublemaker.
Chen Bozheng had been involved in the underworld much earlier than them, and he knew more about the law than they did.
"You just wait! Do you know who my older brother is?!"
Li Ge was being taken to give a statement, and he glared fiercely at Chen Bozheng and the others with a resentful and indignant expression.
Chen Bo glanced at him and said, "Who's your older brother? Tell me about it."
Li Ge sneered: "Do you know Chen Bozheng, the owner of Jingyun Residential Complex?"
? ?
Chen Bozheng and his group were stunned.
They're taking statements here too.
Wen Qunshu laughed and said, "What, is your eldest brother Chen Bozheng?"
Li Ge scoffed, raising his chin to reveal a scar on his neck: "My older brother, Xun Ge, is Chen Bozheng's friend. Now you know how powerful my older brother is, right?!"
A policeman walked towards Chen Bo, took out a pen, and tapped the table. "You two are chatting. Hurry up and take a statement. What's your name?"
Chen Bozheng glanced at the man in charge and touched his nose. "My name is Chen Bozheng."
The policeman was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him, "Chen Bozheng, the boss of Jingyun Residential Complex, Chen Bozheng?!"
The man was stunned, and his gang of underlings were also dumbfounded.
Chen Bozheng said, "Yes, it's me, officer. We were just doing a good deed and helping others tonight, not doing anything bad."
The police officers came over and looked at Chen Bozheng and his group with curiosity.
Chen Bo turned to look at Li Ge: "Hey you, I don't recognize your older brother, Xun Ge."
Li Ge's face turned bright red.
Chen Bozheng stared at him and said, "If you guys want to cause trouble, come find me. Although I, Chen Bozheng, am not very capable, I will definitely play along. If I hear that you went to make things difficult for the owner of the mutton shop, I may not have any other skills, but I like to punish evil and uphold justice."
Li Ge and the others looked increasingly grim.
After he made those harsh remarks, the police officer coughed and reminded him, "What are you saying? Hurry up and make your statement, then leave as soon as you're done. Coming into our police station during the Lunar New Year, aren't you afraid of bad luck?"
Chen Bo smiled at the policeman and handed him a pack of cigarettes.
By the time I finished giving my statement, it was almost nine o'clock.
The brother and sister who owned the mutton shop were standing at the door waiting. When they saw them come out, they hurried to greet them.
Boss Ma Da patted Chen Bozheng on the shoulder, "Brothers, are you alright?"
Ma Chi, the younger sister, looked at them with concern: "The police didn't want to fine you, did they?"
Wen Qunshu waved his hand and said, "It's alright, what could possibly happen? Our CEO Chen is on the case, he's worth two men."
Ma Chi immediately laughed and jumped up, saying, "That's great! I was worried I'd drag you down with me. Thank you, Jingming, for helping us tonight."
Chen Bozheng said, "That's all right. Li Ge and his gang are just small-time thugs. I warned them, and they probably won't cause you any trouble."
Chen Bozheng knew very well that these thugs valued face the most. After he made those harsh remarks, if those thugs really wanted to cause trouble, they would only cause trouble for him.
He may not have any other skills, but he has a reputation in the underworld, and he also knows Lin Zhiyong. If anything happens, he can handle it.
But Mada and his group are different. They are just small vendors with their stalls fixed in one place. If those bastards, Li Ge and his gang, are determined to cause them trouble, it's like a toad crawling on your feet. It's either disgusting or nauseating.
"Don't worry, we're not easy to bully. We have many relatives and friends, and everyone will help us."
"I'm so confident," Ma Da said, patting his chest.
Ma Chi also said, "Yes, if my second and third brothers hadn't accompanied my sister-in-law back to her parents' home today, those thugs would have been beaten to death by my brothers and sisters-in-law!"
Ma Chi said, clenching his fist.
Wen Chan was amused.
"Your brother and sister-in-law are so amazing!"
Ma Chi blushed. "My second brother is a policeman!"
Ma Da patted Ma Chi on the head and said to them, "Let's go, you haven't eaten well, have you? I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
Chen Bozheng and the others didn't stand on ceremony with him.
Motorcycles with main motors aren't cheap, so their mutton soup business must be doing well, and they must be making a lot of money.
If they want to treat you to a meal to express their gratitude, then let them do so.
Chen Bozheng also exchanged phone numbers with Ma Da, just in case anything happened.
Chen Bozheng and the others didn't take Xun Ge's matter to heart.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Brother Xun actually came to our door himself.
