Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284: If You Dare, Youâre Considered a Man
The three men knocked down by Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun immediately got back up from the ground.
Seeing Li Yufeng being rescued, the three grew even more furious.
âWho the hell are you, daring to meddle in our business?â the burly man who first started the fight, and who had been involved in the car collision with Li Yufeng, bellowed viciously at Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun: âAre you tired of living?â
With a loud âsmack,â without any warning, Yang Xiaodong slapped the manâs face, sending him tumbling back to the ground.
After hearing the command from the man inside the BMW car, the others who had gotten out of the cars prepared to swarm and attack Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun.
To their surprise, the opponents made the first move again.
Their strongest man, a burly figure with the best skills among them, was publicly slapped, with a sound so resonant it shocked everyone.
Those who were itching to jump in couldnât help but hesitate.
But hearing that these men had northern accents, not local to the area, the locals grew angrier.
A few tourists from out of town dared to interfere in their affairs, it was sheer lawlessness.
Especially the man sitting inside the car, called âMaster Wu,â seeing his henchmen publicly slapped and the other partyâs arrogant demeanor, he furiously pushed open the car door and stepped out, pointing in the direction of Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun and bellowed: âBeat them to a pulp.â
After a loud shout, the whole group charged towards Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun.
The onlookers, relieved to see someone stepping in to right the wrong, all sighed with relief.
Even though they were afraid of getting into trouble themselves and didnât dare to step forward to save Li Yufeng from the harassment of several men, they were relieved to see someone else take a stand.
Seeing Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun knocking down the men who were bullying Li Yufeng, they felt a sense of pride.
Especially the tourist who had stood up for justice but got kicked away, who was now loudly cheering them on.
But as they saw Master Wuâs men preparing to beat up these defenders of justice, they all tensed up again.
âThese outsiders are in trouble,â a local who had heard many stories about Master Wu whispered to his companion: âMaster Wu is notoriously fierce in a fight. His guys are all good at Sanda. Did you know? Last time, for a transport terminal dispute, he personally led a few men to smash the place up. They routed twenty or so of their opponents with just five or six people, seizing control of that transport line.â
âYeah, these outsiders must be somewhat capable, but they have no idea how tough Master Wu is. Theyâre certainly in for trouble today,â another local couldnât help but sigh. âAlthough Master Wu has reformed, if anyone dares to provoke him, he still wonât let it go.â
âYes,â another local villager chimed in, âlast time a policeman tried to make trouble for him, and not only did he fail to jail him, but he ended up in trouble himself and had to leave the police force. Master Wu has connections in both the underworld and among the authorities. These people are definitely in for trouble.â
âThat woman is also out of her depth, arguing with these people,â the first local said, sighing deeply, âIf she hadnât leveled any allegations or demanded compensation, they might not have taken it out on her, especially since they violated the law and were drinking.â
âShould we call the police? If the cops show up, things might get better.â
âYeah, call! If things escalate, our business will be affected too.â
So the youngest local pulled out his cell phone and dialed 110.
Seeing the group approaching, Luo Ziling didnât move to fight but stepped back to guard Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli, who followed.
Today there was no need for him to take action.
If Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun couldnât handle a bunch of thugs, they had some serious thinking to do.
Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun did not disappoint Luo Zilingâs trust.
It took less than five minutes to knock down everyone who charged forward.
The one called âMaster Wuâ was also sent flying with a kick.
After being kicked away by Yang Xiaodong, Master Wuâs body slammed directly into the front shield of the BMW X5 he had just ridden in.
The windshield instantly cracked into a spiderweb pattern, and fortunately, there was a film on the glass, otherwise Master Wu would have definitely shattered the glass and fallen into the car.
The outcome astonished all the onlookers who were enjoying the spectacle.
Even Li Yufeng, who had returned to the car to comfort the elderly and children, was surprised and opened her mouth wide.
Luo Zilingâs two friends were so capable that they had knocked down more than a dozen of their opponents.
Li Yufeng was also somewhat relieved, thankful that she had encountered Luo Ziling here and that Luo Zilingâs friends were so capable; otherwise, she truly didnât know how she would have gotten away today.
However, seeing those people knocked down to the ground by Luo Zilingâs friends and unable to get up, she started to worry.
What if the police arrived, detained Luo Zilingâs friends, and even decided to detain or pursue their criminal responsibility? What then?
Li Yufeng knew that these people dared to act so arrogantly and unchecked because they must have backup.
Maybe they were the local bullies, and even the police might be biased towards them.
She was very grateful for Luo Zilingâs righteous rescue and did not want them to suffer because of it, so she immediately took her fatherâs cellphone, ready to make a call for help.
Li Yufeng, with her good medical skills and an administrative position, also knew some officials.
A deputy director from the city district bureau had sought her help before.
The deputy directorâs father-in-law had severe cardiovascular diseases, and under her treatment, his condition had improved significantly.
At that time, the Deputy Director Li had repeatedly taken the initiative to mention that he could be contacted for help with any problems in the future.
Li Yufeng prepared to ask this Deputy Director Li for help, but after taking her fatherâs phone, she remembered that she hadnât memorized his cellphone number.
Immediately, she made a call to her husband; he should have Deputy Director Liâs mobile number.
Worried her husband might get anxious, she did not mention the recent incident but simply asked him to provide Deputy Director Liâs phone number, stating her own phone was broken.
Her husband didnât suspect anything, but after searching, he found that he didnât have the number stored.
Li Yufeng was anxious, but without the number, there wasnât much she could do, so she could only dial 114 to search for the bureauâs number, planning to call the office and find the deputy director.
While Li Yufeng was busy making calls for help, the fight on this side continued.
Yang Xiaodong, with a mocking expression, asked the other party, âHow about it, do you still plan to take us down?â
Unexpectedly, Master Wu kept a tough demeanor, not caring about Yang Xiaodongâs threats at all, and spoke fiercely: âA few outsiders, daring to be so arrogant in Yuezhou, I donât believe you can leave Howling Mountain safely.â
âBrave,â Yang Xiaodong gave a thumbs up, praising with a smile: âAt a time like this, to still dare be so arrogant, thatâs what makes a real man.â
However, a slap was quickly delivered: âBut what I hate the most is when others are arrogant in front of me.â
Following that, another slap came his way, and both sides of Master Wuâs face instantly swelled up.
