Chapter 201: Taking on a Lackey
"Enough, stop pretending. Come over now. The location is XX!"
"This... Brother Yang, I have some things to deal with here. I’m afraid it’s not convenient for me to come over right now!"
It was clear that Yellow Tiger really didn't want to come.
I looked at the trembling fat man on the ground and smiled at him, "Fatty, it seems your boss doesn't want to come and save you!"
The fat man’s trembling fat shook as he quickly cried and begged, "Tiger Brother, save me, Tiger Brother!"
On the other end of the phone, Yellow Tiger frowned and continued, "Brother Yang, give me some face and let them go, how about that?"
"Give you face? Why should I give you face? What face does Yellow Tiger have?"
I had no intention of giving Yellow Tiger any face at all. Although my relationship with Yellow Tiger had been pretty good in the past, on the day the incident happened, even if Yellow Tiger wasn't necessarily the traitor, I was very angry just because the two of them didn't show up. I understood that they didn't want to submit to me as their boss, but when something happened, they should have at least come to help out. But at that time, not a single person came. Even if they weren't the ones who betrayed me, they were definitely involved in this matter. In short, they weren't good people either, and I still had to settle the score with them.
"Brother Yang, do you really have to be so absolute?"
"This isn't me being absolute; it’s you who acted so absolutely back then!"
"Fine, since Brother Yang has said so, then do whatever you want with those people!"
After speaking, Yellow Tiger hung up the phone directly. It sounded like he intended to abandon these people and wasn't planning to come. I had originally intended for Yellow Tiger to come so I could ask him some questions, but it seemed that was all ruined.
I looked at the group of people on the ground and said helplessly, "It seems your Tiger Brother doesn't want you anymore. What do you think should be done?"
"I’m sorry, Big Brother, it’s all our fault. Please let us go!" The fat man begged quickly.
The fat man had finally reached his current position after so many years; he didn't want to be crippled or killed.
Then, the fat man grabbed the Little Liu from before, kicked him, and said to me, "Big Brother, it’s all this guy who provoked you. I’ll teach him a lesson for you right now!"
After speaking, the fat man beat and kicked the guy in front of him. Little Liu was beaten until he was covered in blood. After all, the fat man had the tonnage, and his strikes were heavy. Little Liu’s small frame couldn't handle it.
After beating him for a while, the fat man quickly came over and said to me, "Big Brother, do you think this is okay?"
"You slapped Uncle Li earlier, and I told you to apologize at that time!"
Hearing this, the fat man quickly ran to Uncle Li, slapped himself, and cried, "I’m sorry, Uncle, it’s all my fault, it’s all my wrong. I’m an idiot, please forgive me!"
Uncle Li had never seen such a scene and was completely stunned. However, seeing the fat man’s swollen face, he quickly said, "Alright, alright, just don't bully people in the future!"
"Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Uncle!" The fat man thanked him repeatedly.
Immediately after, the fat man ran to my side and said to me respectfully, "Big Brother, no, Boss Yang, I know you and Tiger Brother probably have some grudges. I’ve followed Tiger Brother for so many years, I can definitely help you!"
Hearing the fat man’s words, I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to him, "You change your tune pretty fast. You followed your boss for so many years, and you betrayed him just like that. I don't dare to be your boss!"
"No, Boss Yang, this matter is clearly Yellow Tiger being unrighteous first. I followed him for so many years, and he actually refused to save me when I was in trouble. Zhu Zhen isn't a fool; why should I still risk my life for this boss!" Zhu Zhen said, his cheeks puffed up with anger.
Looking at his expression, it didn't seem like he was faking it. The person in front of me was a straightforward person, looked quite honest, and was decisive in his actions. Perhaps he could be useful to me.
So I said to Zhu Zhen, "You kid have a good eye. In that case, I’ll take you to have some fun today!"
Hearing my words, Zhu Zhen said to me excitedly, "Does that mean Boss Yang intends to take me in?"
I smiled and didn't speak, not denying it. Zhu Zhen was overjoyed and said directly to the brothers around him, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to Brother Yang, Boss Yang!"
"Brother Yang!" A group of people shouted respectfully.
I didn't react to this. Then, Zhu Zhen said to everyone present, "I know some of you might not be convinced, but I won't force anyone. You saw Tiger Brother’s situation just now. We followed him for so many years, and then what? He just abandoned us like that. What are we still following such a boss for!"
"But, Brother Zhu, this guy... although Brother Yang is powerful, he is only one person after all. Are we...?" This guy spoke very softly, basically whispering to Zhu Zhen. However, with my good hearing, I naturally heard it. I didn't say much about it; he was indeed right. I was only one person, and compared to the already established forces of Yellow Tiger and Wu Di, I really didn't count for much.
"Short-sighted! What do you know? Brother Yang is protected by Sister Ling and Sister Shuang. He has an extraordinary bearing and is clearly someone destined for great things. There are some things you don't know, but I do. Brother Yang is someone even the Li family fears!"
Hearing Zhu Zhen’s words, everyone finally understood how powerful I was. Especially when they heard that even the Li family feared me, they were filled with disbelief. You have to know that the current Li family was at its peak, and very few families could rival it. But such a large family actually feared me, which made them have to admire me.
I saw that we had eaten enough, so I took out money and handed it to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, your skills haven't changed; it’s especially delicious. I’ll definitely come often in the future!"
"No, no, how can I take your money? It was agreed that I would treat you. Take it back!" Uncle Li quickly tried to stuff the money back to me.
"Uncle Li, this won't do. You’re running a small business; I can't let you work for nothing. Just take it!" Uncle Li and I were pushing the money back and forth. Zhu Zhen on the side said impatiently, "If he tells you to take it, just take it. Why so much nonsense!"
When Uncle Li heard this, he was so scared he took the money. I kicked Zhu Zhen and cursed, "What are you doing? You scared him!"
Zhu Zhen smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and apologized quickly. However, it was precisely because of this situation that Uncle Li took the money. I could see that Uncle Li now had a trace of fear toward me. It seemed that Uncle Li and I could never go back to the way things were before.
