Chapter 379: Assault in the Middle of the Street
At the buildingâs entrance. Tang Xiu and Kang Xia had just come out and realized that something was amiss. Some eyes harboring evil intentions were constantly vying for him. With just a few glances, he could tell that there were at least twenty youths in outlandish attires slowly approaching him.
âFollow me closely. You must not get scared no matter what happens.â Tang Xiu pinched Kang Xiaâs hand and said with a serene expression.
âWhat happened?â Kang Xia asked, confused.
âSome people have narrow minds and want to find trouble with me.â Tang Xiu pursed his lips and lightly said, âIâm afraid this matter is related with that punk named Li.â
Turning to the direction Tang Xiu was looking, Kang Xia immediately discovered that four or five youths dressed in outlandish attires were staring at them. There was also the same number of youths in several other directions closing up on them.
âBoss, this block is very crowded. They shouldnât be that bold, right?â Kang Xia was somewhat afraid.
âThey are not the main instigator.â Tang Xiu said lightly, âSomeone must have pulled the strings from behind. So itâs quite likely they dare to act in this environment because of backing. Hence, you must follow at my side. These local thugs are not worth of me paying attention to.â
At this moment, Tang Xiu released his spiritual sense. Within a radius of 200-300 meters, he could clearly observe every personâs actions and movements.
âOh?â Tang Xiuâs brows furrowed, because he found an acquaintance he once met at Shanghai Universityâs entrance. It was a youth who was with Li Zhen at that time, who made impertinent remarks and was hit by him.
Moreover, through the observation of his spiritual sense, there were also four big men behind him who were also quickly coming toward them.
Once again, Tang Xiu found other acquaintances. They were Li Zhen and a youth who looked happy seeing othersâ misfortune. They had just bumped into him and Kang Xia before. This duo was hiding on the third floor of the opposite building instead of being together with the fellow he had hit before.
What a poor and pitiable guy. He is the cannon fodder, eh.
The thought appeared inside Tang Xiuâs mind. He then took out his mobile phone and said, âChi Nan, investigate Shanghaiâs Li Family. The more detailed the investigation, the better. Tonight will be a good time to visit the Li Family. Besides, Kang Xia is a good sister of Li Dan, the Li Familyâs Miss.â
At the Everlasting Feast Hallâs Shanghai Branch, Chi Nan was watching two Arowanas in the aquarium out of boredom. When she received Tang Xiuâs call and heard his chilling voice, her eyes suddenly lit up and replied loudly, âBoss, wait for my news. Iâll have the details of the Li Family clearly investigated at about ⊠half an hour at the latest. Anyhow, are you coming here or am I look for you?â
âIâll find you!â Tang Xiu said.
Chi Nan hung up the phone enthusiastically. Shortly after, she called everyone in the Everlasting Feast Hallâs intelligence network and began the operation. All core members of the Everlasting Feast Hall began to gather intelligence about Shanghaiâs Li Family through various channels and networks.
Tang Xiu looked around at the youths who were approaching from the four directions. His eyes finally fixated on Cheng Ye and the three big men beside him. His eyes particularly locked on Cheng Ye and the man next to him. What they carried at their waists were not knives, but guns.
âBefore you start, can you tell me the name of the guy at the corner of the street?â Tang Xiu looked at Cheng Ye and lightly asked.
Cheng Ye was dazed for a moment. Following that, he raised his brows and jeered, âWow kiddo, youâre quite awesome, arenât you? You even know that Young Master Yu wants to fix you up, eh! Since you already know, I presume you also know that heâs the eldest young master of Shanghaiâs Meidu Group, yes? Since youâre that tactful, how about you come with us?â
âI thought you wanted to act! Itâs not a problem with me!â Tang Xiu said with a smile, âIâll go with you, and the place had better be quiet.â
The smile on Cheng Yeâs face vanished, replaced by a dignified expression. As he looked at Tang Xiuâs serene expression, a bit of fear budded inside his heart.
âKiddo, are you someone from our world as well?â
âWell, it seems that youâre not stupid since you know to ask about me first.â Tang Xiu let out a slight smile and said, âBut that Yu Zhi doesnât even dare to come. That shows heâs afraid of me, yet you arenât? Alas, you donât seem to know about me.â
Cheng Ye frowned. He subconsciously looked at the place where Yu Zhi was hiding. After a moment of silence, he sneered, âKiddo, donât try to act. Youâve provoked Young Master Yu, so youâll end up with a bad life. Additionally, we wonât do anything to the woman beside you. But tell her to be careful and donât anything she mustnât, such as calling the policeâŠâ
Tang Xiu looked at Kang Xia as he smiled and asked, âDo you believe me?â
Kang Xia herself was a bit worried. But after seeing that the other party were not in a hurry and apparently had a trace of fear, she immediately revealed a smile. She shook her head and said, âOf course Iâm not afraid. Besides, Iâve witnessed the scene when you took your men to visit the Rising Dragon Martial School before. Relying on these chaps, Iâm afraid they wonât end up as good as those people from the Rising Dragon Martial School.â
Boss? Rising Dragon Martial School?
Cheng Yeâs brows furrowed yet again. At this moment, his fear toward Tang Xiu increased a bit more. Being able to take root in a metropolis such as Shanghai meant that he was no a fool. He knew whom he could provoke and those that were untouchable. Otherwise, he would have faced a great calamity already.
"Let's go! Let's talk elsewhere!" After weighing the matter for a moment, Cheng Ye thought that he got scared over nothing and immediately felt somewhat ashamed and angry.
"Take the lead!" Tang Xiu calmly said.
In a nearby street corner, Yu Zhi frowned and looked livid. What he wanted was Cheng Ye to hit Tang Xiu immediately the moment he saw him, discarding Tang Xiu and immediately leaving. However, he actually chatted with Tang Xiu and didnât act at all.
A few minutes later, the crowd came to a very quiet block compared to the street a moment ago. Yu Zhi tagged along carefully from behind. However, unbeknownst to him, two figures stealthily followed them, staring at him, Cheng Ye, Tang Xiu and the others.
âKiddo, tell me! What sacred being are you?â
As Cheng Ye and the others led Tang Xiu and Kang Xia here, he still didnât hurry to act. As discrete and cautious he was, he asked.
âEven if I tell you my identity, you still wonât know me.â Tang Xiu said faintly, âIf youâre afraid, you had better get the hell out immediately. But you can try me, if you want to. Regardless, that Yu Zhi kid has been secretly following behind us. Make him come here if you donât dare to act.â
Cheng Ye frowned yet again. He took a fast glance behind, but he didnât find Yu Zhiâs figure. After thinking for a moment, he nodded to a big man next to him. The later dashed toward the back and quickly found Yu Zhi in the street corner. He then strode toward him and respectfully said, âYoung Master Yu, the Boss is asking for you.â
âWhat happened?â Yu Zhiâs face changed and sonorously asked.
âThat Tang kiddo seems to have an uncommon identity.â The big man said, âThe Boss is kinda afraid of him. Furthermore, that Tang kiddo also found out that you were following us from behind and he wants you there.â
With a change in expression, Yu Zhi took a deep breath before striding over.
âCheng Ye, is this how you do things? I wanted you to fuck him up! Why are you still chirping and yapping about?â
Cheng Ye glanced at Tang Xiu, yet didnât say anything.
âYouâre called Yu Zhi? The eldest young master of the Meidu Group?â Tang Xiu smiled lightly.
âHow the hell do you know me?â Yu Zhiâs face changed as he snorted coldly.
âThey told me!â Tang Xiu smiled lightly.
Yu Zhi glared angrily at Cheng Ye.
Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, âYu Zhi, letâs have a talk about our issues. In the first place, youâre just like a lapdog, always following behind Li Zhen. Getting hit by me hurt, didnât it? Yet you even dare to provoke me now?â
âYouâre fucking court your death!â Yu Zhi scowled.
Tang Xiu fiercely kicked him, sending him to fly five meters away. Yu Zhi then sat on the ground for a while and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
At the side, Cheng Ye's and his 20 underlings' expressions drastically changed. Cheng Ye didnât think that this matter would actually involve Li Zhen. One must know that Li Zhenâs background was even more powerful than Yu Zhiâs. Yet this fellow seemed to not be afraid of Li Zhen at all.
What is his origin, exactly? To think that he even dares to beat Yu Zhi? And he even dares to fight against Young Master Li?
Tang Xiu came before Yu Zhi and gently kicked him. He lightly smiled and said, âYou donât need to worry. This kick of mine wonât kill you. But I wanna know about tonightâs matter. Did you send people at me? Or it was Li Zhen who sent you?â
While suppressing the uncomfortable feeling from his internal organs, Yu Zhi lividly shouted, âThis father has broken ties with Li Zhen. He is himself, and Iâm me.â
Tang Xiu suddenly realized something. He then said with a smile, âThen how did you know that I was in the mall before? Itâs impossible for you to follow me since I would have long discovered you. It seems someone called you, right? Even if it was not Li Zhen, it should be someone around him.â
Yu Zhiâs complexion changed as he angrily shouted, âHow the hell did you know that?â
âItâs pretty much obvious!â Tang Xiu casually said, âI bumped into him and another youth today. If it was not them, then Iâll have to admire your superb ability.â
Frowning deeply, Yu Zhi then thought for a moment. Recalling something, he got up from the ground and wiped the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth. He took a fast glance around and yelled, âLi Zhen, I, Yu Zhi, has broken off all relations with you, yet you motherfucker has done such a shady thing. This matter hasnât finished, Iâll settle the score with you later.â
Tang Xiu released his spiritual sense and clearly saw that Li Zhen and that youth were secretly hiding in a place about 100-200 meters away from them. However, he didnât have the intention to deal with Li Zhen now. He would personally visit the Li Family. If the Li Familyâs people didnât control him, he would teach him in front of his parents when the time came.
