Chapter 34: Xu Baifeng

A young, burly man walked up to Chen Che and poked his chest with his index finger, putting on a performance he felt was perfect.

"Kid, no matter who you are, if you dare to meddle, I'll kill you..."

"Crack!"

Before the burly man could finish his sentence, his forearm, which was as thick as a woman's calf, was snapped clean in two.

"Ah... my arm!"

The burly man let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

"Get lost!"

Chen Che raised his hand and slapped the burly man, sending him flying directly into the wall, where he passed out.

The rest of them were all dumbfounded!

That wasn't how it was written in the script, was it?

And how did he send a grown man flying with a single slap?

Was he on a wire harness?

While the others were still in a state of shock and confusion, Chen Che began to move again.

"Crack!"

"Snap!"

"Cr-cr-crack..."

The sound of bones being snapped was incessant, and the tall, fierce-looking burly men all let out screams like slaughtered pigs one after another.

"My hand, my hand!"

"My leg, my leg is bent!"

"I'm not acting anymore! I'm not doing this! I'm going to die!"

Watching his men's limbs all turn into twisted shapes, Yu Long felt a chill rise in his heart, and cold sweat streamed down.

He quickly pulled out his phone, and just as his finger was about to press the call button, Chen Che appeared before him like a ghost.

Yu Long's heart trembled; he slowly looked up, his face filled with incomparable fear.

"Big brother, it's a misunderstanding... Augh!!"

Chen Che stepped on Yu Long's right hand, which was holding the phone, and ground down with force.

The crunching sound of the phone's metal shattering and bones breaking made one's skin crawl.

At this moment, Ma Menghan trotted in, helped up Fu Lang and his daughter Fu Yanyan, who had fallen to the ground, and hid them in the room where Fu Lang's wife was.

"Who are you?"

Once the door was closed, Fu Yanyan, her hair disheveled and still shaken, asked Ma Menghan.

"And who is that person? Why are you helping us?"

Ma Menghan gave a sweet smile to Fu Yanyan, who was the same age as her: "Because good people are rewarded!"

Ma Menghan's answer was cryptic; not only Fu Yanyan, but even Fu Lang didn't understand it.

Fu Lang spoke up: "In any case, thank you both, but I still want to ask, what will your friend do to those people?"

Ma Menghan nodded with a serious face: "Given his personality, those people probably won't survive."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lang was shocked and turned pale.

He was already drowning in debt; if human lives were lost, the situation would be even more impossible to resolve!

Fu Lang opened the door, rushed out, and shouted: "Stop! You can't kill anyone!"

Fu Lang rushed over, pushed Chen Che away, and said hurriedly: "Young man, you can't kill them. If they die, my trouble will be even greater!"

A trace of sadness flashed across Chen Che's face: "Uncle Fu Lang, do you not recognize me anymore?"

Looking at this former kind elder, his savior when he was in distress, now reduced to such a wretched state, Chen Che felt immense grief in his heart!

Fu Lang was stunned. He looked Chen Che over carefully, then suddenly exclaimed: "Chen Che! You're little Che, you didn't die?!"

Chen Che smiled: "Uncle Fu Lang, I didn't die, I'm still alive."

Fu Lang grabbed Chen Che's hand and wept with joy: "That's great, that's great! If your father knew you were still alive, he would be so comforted!"

Chen Che supported Fu Lang, his own eyes moistening. Glancing at Yu Long, who was curled up on the ground wailing, Chen Che's expression changed.

"Uncle Fu Lang, let's talk in a moment. I'll kill these few first to vent your and Yanyan's anger!"

Chen Che said, consumed by rage.

"No!"

Fu Lang blocked him: "Little Che, you cannot kill. If you kill them, your own life will be over too. It hasn't been easy for you to stay alive; you must not be impulsive again!"

"But if I leave them, you will still have trouble," Chen Che said.

Fu Lang shook his head: "You have already taught them a lesson, and I really do owe them money. It is only right and proper to pay back debts. If you kill them, my trouble will only be greater."

Chen Che was unwilling, but facing Fu Lang—this elder, this savior—he chose to compromise.

"Alright, I will listen to you," Chen Che said.

Fu Lang nodded and gave a gentle smile.

"Are you not leaving yet?"

Fu Lang said coldly to Yu Long and the others lying on the ground.

"We're going, we're going, we're leaving right now!"

Yu Long and the others scrambled to their feet and fled out the door.

"Brother Chen Che..."

Fu Yanyan stood at the doorway of the inner room, looking at that tall, straight back in disbelief.

Chen Che turned to look over.

In ten years, Fu Yanyan had also grown from the little girl of back then into a graceful young woman.

She wore her hair in a ponytail and was dressed in a floral dress, leaning against the doorframe and looking at Chen Che timidly.

"Yanyan, it's me, I'm still alive, I've come to find you!"

Chen Che's smile was gentle, without a trace of the ruthlessness and chill he had shown when facing Yu Long and the others.

Fu Yanyan looked Chen Che over carefully, and when she fully recognized him, she suddenly lost control of her emotions, threw herself into Chen Che's arms, and said in a sad and resentful tone: "They all said you were dead, and I thought you were dead too! You lied to me! You lied to me!"

"It's my fault, it's my fault, don't cry... don't cry..."

Chen Che patted Fu Yanyan's back lightly, comforting her in a soft voice.

Outside the bungalow, in the alley next door.

Yu Long and the others scrambled into a business van, holding up his right hand with its fingers twisted into a ball, and shouted: "Young Master, hurry and take me to the hospital, it hurts too much!"

Xu Baifeng ignored Yu Long's right hand and said with an unhappy expression: "What happened? I've been waiting for your call!"

"There was an accident!"

Yu Long said: "I took the brothers to cause trouble according to the script you gave me, and just as I was about to call you, a man rushed in. That man is a Martial Artist; he beat up all the brothers, and my hand was stepped on by him and ended up like this!"

"What?!"

Xu Baifeng was burning with rage and slammed his fist into the seat back.

He had planned this self-directed and self-acted drama for so long, never expecting that in the end, he had done the work for someone else!

Xu Baifeng's father, Xu Songbai, and Fu Lang had both previously worked at Jinhai Group and were the right-hand men of Chen Che's father, Chen Xin.

Because of the relationship between their elders, Chen Che, Fu Yanyan, and Xu Baifeng were childhood friends who grew up together.

It was just that Xu Songbai and Fu Lang did not get along due to many company decision-making matters, and Xu Baifeng had been unruly since childhood, so much so that Fu Lang disliked him very much.

Later, when something happened to Chen Xin, Xu Songbai, for the sake of his position in the company, resolutely threw himself under the command of Yang Wanqing.

Afterward, he seized upon the excuse of Fu Lang helping Chen Che to join forces with Yang Wanqing and kick Fu Lang out of Jinhai Group.

The discord between the older generation naturally affected the relationship of the next generation as well.

However, Xu Baifeng liked Fu Yanyan very much, and today's drama was performed specifically to win Fu Yanyan's favor.

Xu Baifeng frowned and pondered: previously, because of the matter with Fu Yanyan's mother, Fu Yanyan had already developed a favorable impression of him, and Fu Lang had also changed his view of him quite a bit.

Although this time it had backfired, he absolutely could not just leave like this.

It was still not too late to go in now; even if the effect was greatly reduced, it could still be considered offering timely help.

It is never too late to mend the fold after the sheep are lost!

"You guys go to the hospital yourselves!"

"Bang!"

After dropping this sentence, Xu Baifeng opened the car door, got out, and sprinted toward Fu Lang's house.

Yu Long could not care about Xu Baifeng anymore at this moment; his hand hurt too much, and if they didn't go to the hospital, not only him, but the brothers under him would also be in agony!

"Drive, hurry!"

Yu Long shouted at the driver.

The vehicle drove out of South Pass Village and entered the main road, but was forced to a stop at an intersection by a red Ferrari.

"Damn it, is this person looking to die!"

Yu Long cursed angrily, but his heart trembled when he saw the license plate number, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"It's over!"
