Chapter 54 - Departure

Ye Fan said indifferently, “Did I say that you could leave after compensating?

I was dealing with the shop owner just now, now it’s my turn.”

“What do you want to do?” Fei Ge’s voice trembled a bit.

Ye Fan pointed at the thug with the green snake tattoo on his arm and said, “First, bring me a chair to sit on.”

The thug with the green snake tattoo was pointed at by Ye Fan, his face changing color and his legs starting to shake, stunned in place without moving.

Seeing this, Fei Ge slapped the thug with the green snake tattoo on the head and cursed, “Well, don’t just stand there, bring the chair for this big brother to sit on!”

The thug with the green snake tattoo was nearly knocked over by the slap, feeling dizzy, but still managed to staggeringly bring a chair over to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan nudged the chair with one leg, then sat down gracefully.

Just then, Fei Ge thought an opportunity had arisen and violently lunged at Ye Fan, who was sitting on the chair.

Ye Fan snorted coldly and kicked out.

Fei Ge’s large body was sent flying and crashed heavily against the wall before falling down.

The remaining thugs all visibly jumped in fright and took a few steps back.

Ye Fan chuckled and said, “Ha, ha, welcome to try a sneak attack, he’s your role model.”

The five thugs quickly waved their hands and exclaimed, “We wouldn’t dare!”

At this moment, Fei Ge got up while holding his stomach, his face full of fear, and dared not make another sound.

Ye Fan spoke calmly, “As I said before, now it’s time to settle my score.

Your interruption of my noodle meal is a grave sin.

Your outrageous actions have affected my mood, which is an even graver sin.

Moreover, your intelligence is so low, robbing a woman in broad daylight, making me feel like I’m demeaning myself by dealing with you, which is an immense sin.”

“Given your threefold offense, what punishment should I impose?” Ye Fan said thoughtfully, then looked up at Li Zhaojun and asked, “Li Zhaojun, why don’t you give me a suggestion?”

Li Zhaojun let out a surprised “ah,” not expecting Ye Fan to ask her.

She hemmed and hawed for a bit, then said, “Just let them go.”

Ye Fan shook his head lightly and said, “You’re too soft-hearted.

That won’t do.

As far as I know, there’s another woman also named Li Zhaojun, and she’s much tougher than you.”

“Another Li Zhaojun?

Who is that?” Li Zhaojun couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Ye Fan smiled faintly, didn’t answer, and then turned to address the six thugs, “Look how kind she is.

But, there’s no way I’m just going to let you go like this.

Let’s compromise, something too bloody would scare the girls, which isn’t nice.”

Fei Ge and the other six thugs thought they were off the hook and were about to cry at the thought that Ye Fan still wouldn’t let them go.

“You just slap yourselves,” Ye Fan instructed.

“Pair up and slap each other in the face.”

“You, and you, you two go first.

Come here and do it in front of me.”

The two thugs that Ye Fan pointed to instantly turned pale.

They looked at their companions to gauge their reactions.

Their companions were also clueless, so Fei Ge said, “Just do as he says.”

The two thugs had no choice but to steel themselves and walk over to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said, “Now, stand face to face.

Then start slapping each other.

I don’t have specific requirements for the force of the slap, but the sound must be loud enough for everyone to hear.

After being slapped, you have to insult each other first, then slap back.

Each person, thirty times.”

“Start now,” Ye Fan said indifferently.

“You with the rooster hairdo go first.”

The thug with the exaggerated rooster hairstyle hesitated a moment then slapped the thug with several piercings in his ear.

“Slap.”

The sound was so quiet, he had hardly used any force.

Ye Fan said, “That won’t do, the sound is too low; I can barely hear it, let alone others.

Do it again.”

The rooster-haired thug reluctantly said to the pierced-ear thug, “Ah Jian, sorry about this.”

After finishing his apology, he slapped a bit harder this time.

“Slap!”

This time the sound was louder, even though it didn’t seem much stronger.

“Right, it has to be at least this loud,” Ye Fan said, and then spoke to the pierced-ear thug, “Your turn, he’s slapped you; you should curse him first, then take your revenge with a slap.”

“Fuck your sister!” Ah Jian cursed and then slapped back at the rooster-haired thug.

“Slap!”

The sound was ordinary, but it passed muster.

Next up, it was the rooster-head thug’s turn.

The rooster-head thug cursed, “I fucking!”

And then he threw a slap.

“Slap!”

This sound was a bit louder than before.

Ah Jian’s thug felt that this slap was more painful than the last one, realizing he had gone too easy and had shortchanged himself, so he immediately cursed at the rooster-head thug and slapped back with more force.

As the slapping went on, the sound of the slaps grew louder, and the curses became more vicious and crude.

By the twentieth slap, both thugs had red eyes and had become sworn enemies, hitting each other’s ears with all their might.

Their faces were red and swollen like pig heads, blood oozing from the corners of their mouths.

Finally, after thirty slaps were exchanged.

When the rooster-head thug, who had started the slapping, still wanted to hit Ah Jian’s thug, Ye Fan called out, “Stop!

That’s enough.”

But the rooster-head thug didn’t stop, he continued to slap his partner’s ear.

“Motherfucker, we’ve already hit thirty, and you’re still slapping.

I’m gonna fight you to the end!” Ah Jian’s thug was furiously enraged, and he lunged at the rooster-head thug.

The two had already become enemies during the slapping and cursing.

Ye Fan didn’t stop the two thugs from a dog-eat-dog fight; he just watched coldly.

However, the other thugs hurriedly stepped forward to separate them.

After a commotion amongst themselves, the six thugs finally calmed down.

Ye Fan smiled faintly and said, “Alright, the pair from before has finished slapping each other.

Now it’s your turn.”

Ye Fan turned his gaze towards the remaining four thugs, finally settling on the blonde thug, and said, “Your hand is already injured, so I’ll spare you this time.”

“Thank you, big brother, thank you!” the blonde thug called out gratefully, with the other thugs feeling a mixture of jealousy and displeasure.

Ye Fan continued calmly, “The three of you, come together.”

“You and you, slap his ear.

And you, at the same time, can slap both of their ears.

Before you slap, as usual, curse at each other,” Ye Fan said.

He had the other two thugs slap Fei Ge back and forth.

Having seen an example set, they didn’t resist much.

“You and you, slap his ear first, and remember, the sound must be loud enough for everyone to hear,” Ye Fan said.

Soon after, this group had exchanged a dozen slaps, and they were completely inflamed.

Originally, only one thug wouldn’t dare to really put force into slapping Fei Ge’s ear, but with two together, they grew bolder.

Plus, Fei Ge, feeling humiliated at being slapped by his inferiors, also retaliated with powerful slaps and harsh curses.

And so, with just over a dozen slaps exchanged, the three of them had red eyes and began slapping each other with more force.

Before long, Fei Ge was dizzied from being slapped, bleeding from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, and eventually lacked the strength to slap back at his two subordinates.

After the slapping was finished, Fei Ge wanted to throw himself at the other two thugs, but he couldn’t even stand properly anymore, and the two thugs, not daring to retaliate, ran off.

“Remember, if any of you dares to come here to collect protection money again, it won’t be as simple as today!” Ye Fan said, “Get lost!”

The six thugs finally left the shop, but as soon as they were out the door, they started to scuffle with each other.

The blonde thug hadn’t been involved in the slapping, so no one troubled him for a while.

He rushed over to break it up, but what welcomed him were two of the fighting thugs turning to punch him at the same time.

Seven or eight minutes later, the six thugs left while fighting and chasing each other away.

“Alright, you don’t have to worry about them coming back to collect protection money anymore,” Ye Fan said with a faint smile, “Now that they’re enemies among themselves, their gang is disbanded.”

Li Zhaojun, with shining eyes, said, “You’re amazing!”

Then, she added, “But what if they come back for revenge?

Can you leave us your phone number?”
