Chapter 661: Encounter with Ma San

I actually want to leave right away; I have many important matters to attend to, I have no leisure to argue over who's the boss on the street.

This is the kind of thing only little Mao Hai and petty thugs play.

Dealing with such arrogant, ignorant kids only requires me to make a few phone calls, and that's enough.

He already said it: he's a member of the Cui Family.

So Cui Rulin, Cui Chengshan and the others, this kid must know them.

I was just about to pull out my phone to call Cui Rulin.

I didn't expect the other side to quickly summon people over the phone.

Not two people, but a dozen or so.

These years we've been cracking down on crime and evil,

and there's still some left unchecked,

there are too many idle people in society.

These dozen or so immediately surrounded me and Shi Yong.

I furrowed my brow,

thinking to myself, these guys need no introduction; they're just street thugs who pick on ordinary civilians.

Today, I decide to eliminate the menace for the people.

Hmph, there's been no fighting for a long time.

Fine, since my idle hands are itching, Li Ming's complaints give me a perfect outlet.

I put down my phone; I'm not going to call anyone else.

Alright, then let's start training.

I gave Shi Yong a glance, and he instantly understood.

He strained and pulled the yellow‑haired guy straight out of the car.

I could even hear the skin scraping against the car.

The wounded yellow‑haired guy screamed loudly in pain.

Shi Yong grabbed the kid's throat,

"Dammit, today I'll teach you how to be a man; if you can't handle it, I'll make you reincarnate. You little piss‑kid, daring to dig at the Tai Sui's head."

At that moment, a steel pipe came hurling toward Shi Yong,

I kicked the guy's wrist, and the pipe flew off.

The guy let out an 'ouch',

"My hand—" and then he dropped to the ground.

Another clueless guy came up wielding a steel pipe.

Shi Yong swung his fist and smashed it straight into the man's face,

the man's nose collapsed instantly.

Shi Yong and I kicked and punched, making the two men scream.

The others watched and dared not advance.

One of them shouted, "Quick, call the boss; we've run into someone on the road."

"Go call him, bring your boss over. Hmph, I guarantee that when he arrives, he'll let you smash my head." Shi Yong shouted.

"Shi Yong, they aren't from Mao Hai's crew, are they?" I asked.

"Doesn't look like it; I know all of Mao Hai's subordinates. We're not aligned with Mao Hai. Once their boss shows up, I'll recognize him." Shi Yong said.

"Looks like today we'll properly deal with this bunch. Shi Yong, how are you? If you can't, we'll call for help." I said, looking at Shi Yong.

"My body's fine. I've been bored these past days, and today's a perfect chance to have some fun." Shi Yong said cheerfully.

I was just about to say something,

when I heard a middle‑aged man's voice,

"May I ask which mountain you two are from, which deity you worship, who's in charge? How dare you come to Zaocheng to attack the Cui Family."

No need to ask; their boss is already here.

I looked at the boss: he was in his fifties, bald, wearing sunglasses,

his face covered in horizontal scars.

But from his voice I recognized it as that of an old friend of mine.

Who.

Ma San.

He's the Ma San I once partnered with; we later fell out, and he went to side with Bai Lang.

I used him to capture Bai Lang.

Bai Lang was finished, and he ended up in prison.

He served a dozen years inside,

never expecting to meet an old friend here.

I gave Ma San a look, pretended not to recognize him,

pulled out a cigarette and lit it,

"We're not from the street; we're just here eating kebabs. This kid caused trouble, so we dealt with him."

"Ma San, finish off those two guys quickly, or you won't be welcome in Zaocheng any longer." the yellow‑haired guy said, pointing at Ma San.

"These days, you can't just beat people. If you strike someone, it's a crime." Ma San said, after giving us a glance.

"Brother, let me put it this way: do you want to settle this publicly or privately?"

"How to settle privately, how to settle publicly?" I asked.

"If we go through official channels, I'll call the police, then the authorities will handle it, and you'll end up spending a few years in jail—know that you hit the young master of our Zaocheng Cui Family; this isn't just anyone. Have you heard of the Zaocheng Cui Family? Huh, with just a word from them they could take your life."

"If you want to settle privately, then pay up—each person gets 100,000 yuan,"

"All together, that's 500,000 yuan."

"If you can't come up with this money, then don't say I'm not being polite." Ma San said with a cold smile.

"Ma San, still the same old way, you like to extort people." I said, looking at Ma San and smiling.

Ma San was taken aback, quickly taking off his sunglasses,

staring closely at me,

He seemed reluctant to recognize me.

Shi Yong called out from the side: "Ma San bro, I never expected we'd meet again here. Do you still know me, Shi Yong?"

"Shi Yong bro, Jianqiang younger bro, I really didn't expect to meet you here."

"Great, everyone put away your weapons quickly—we're all one family, no need to talk about two families." Ma San ordered his subordinates.

His subordinates collected everything.

At this moment, the yellow-haired guy shouted: "Ma San, I got beaten—what should I do?"

"I can't let them hit me for nothing."

Ma San was about to say something,

I walked up to this yellow-haired guy and directly asked him,

"Cui Rulin, you know him, right? What about Cui Chengshan?"

"Cui Rulin, that's my grandfather; Cui Chengshan is my uncle. Who are you?" The yellow-haired guy heard me directly mention Cui Rulin's name.

"Now call your grandfather or uncle and say that Zhao Jianqiang and Shi Yong beat you, then hear what they have to say." I said.

The yellow-haired guy really took out his phone and made a call.

I also ignored this kid,

Ma San came over, grabbed my hand and said: "Jianqiang, we haven't seen each other in over ten years. How are you?"

"Still the same. Ma San bro, why are you still sticking to your old trade, acting as a street tyrant?" I said with a smile.

"Brother, you're joking—I have no other skills. After coming out, I have no other line of work; I can only keep mixing in society. Unlike you, who became chairman of Da Heng Group. After coming out, I originally wanted to catch up with you, but we're not on the same level,"

"There's nothing to be done. Hey, I heard your Da Heng Group has also run into trouble."

"How are you doing now?" Ma San said deliberately.

"Being able to meet you here, what else can I say? My situation isn't as good as yours. I came here today mainly to contend with you for the dominance of this food street." I said with a smile.

"Brother, you're teasing me again. What are you fighting me for over being a street tyrant? I'm just trying to earn a meal."

"Brother, let's find a stall later and have a drink—it's been so many years since we last saw each other." Ma San invited.

At this moment, that yellow-haired guy came over and, seeing me,

"Grandfather Zhao, my grandfather, let me kowtow three times to you, begging you to let me go—I know I was wrong."

After saying that, the kid really knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to me.

I also didn't help him up,

"Damn, what an arrogant piece of work, no limits."

"Let you know there are always people better than you and skies beyond the sky."

I said to this yellow-haired guy: "On this food street, if you drive in and cause a collision, what then? Don't think you're something special—actually, there are plenty of people more capable than you."

"Alright, today I'll let you off, but if you drive into the pedestrian street again, next time I'll have you killed. Believe it or not."

The yellow-haired guy quickly nodded,

"Grandfather Zhao, I believe you. Can I leave now?" The yellow-haired guy said in a meek voice.

I waved my hand,

"Get lost."

That yellow-haired guy hurriedly ran back to his car, started it, and drove off.

Ma San watched me easily make that yellow-haired guy kneel, and he was a bit dazed.
