Chen Yang approached the door of the small room as cautiously as he had the first time he came here to eat, listening intently to the conversation inside.
âYang Caiyun, I know your little eatery makes money, otherwise why would I have my eye on it?
Just give it to me straight, are you going to transfer the ownership or not?
If not, Iâll make sure this crappy place canât continue to operate!â
âOh my, Boss Xiao, arenât you practically taking my life?
My whole family relies on this little restaurant to make a living.
How could I transfer it?
If I did, wouldnât I starve to death?â
âHumph, youâre full of nonsense.
This place makes at least seventy to eighty thousand a day.
Youâve made money for so long, who would believe you have no savings?â
âAnd whatâs more, Iâm not taking your restaurant for free, Iâm offering eight hundred thousand for it.
Tomorrow, itâll be mine!â
Chen Yang leaned in closer to hear a rough male voice negotiating with Yang Caiyun.
From the dialogue, it was clear that he wanted to buy Yang Caiyunâs restaurant, but there was an undertone of coercion in his words.
Chen Yang frowned at this.
âOh, Boss Xiao, youâre a big-money earner.
Please stop fixating on my humble establishment.
Hereâs a little something for your trouble.
Please show me some mercy.â
Then Yang Caiyun spoke up again.
By the sound of it, she seemed to be offering a bribe.
But the rough man clearly thought little of Yang Caiyunâs offer.
With a scornful snort, he said, âWho needs your little trinket?
Are you trying to bribe a beggar?
Iâm here today to ask you straight up, are you transferring or not?
If you donât, donât expect to keep your shop open.
Iâll have people come and cause trouble every couple of days!
You figure it out.â
The coarse-voiced man was being domineering, acting like a complete bully.
This inflamed Chen Yang, who was standing outside.
Unable to contain himself, he kicked open the roomâs door.
âThe shop is not for transfer!
If youâre looking to die, come and make trouble and see!â
Chen Yang burst through the door with a kick, ready to confront the rough man head-on.
Inside the room, aside from Chen Yang, there were five or six other men.
They were a group, led by a bald, potbellied middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had a fierce look on his face, clearly not a man to be trifled with.
âYang Zi!
How did you get here!â
Chen Yangâs sudden appearance shocked Yang Caiyun,
and the middle-aged man and his henchmen were just as surprised.
However, after their brief moment of astonishment, their expressions quickly turned sour.
âKid, what the hell did you just say?â
The middle-aged man glared at Chen Yang, emanating an air of menace.
But Chen Yang was unaffected by this display of aggression.
âI was handling some business in the city and stopped by to check on you.â
Chen Yang first addressed Yang Caiyun, then turned his gaze squarely on Boss Xiao.
âI said, this shop cannot be transferred to you, and if you want to cause trouble, anyone whoâs not afraid to die can give it a try,â
Chen Yangâs face was serious as he reiterated his previous statement.
âHahaha.â
Hearing what Chen Yang had said, the middle-aged man and the other men behind him burst into uproarious laughter.
âDamn it, who is this ignorant kid?
Youâre the one looking to die, arenât you?â
âExactly.
You shouldâve asked around about who Boss Xiao is.
Even Fu Deren, the local bully, has to give him some respect!â
âYou want to stay alive?
Then scoot over to the side, kid.
We donât really want to mess you up because youâre young.â
The middle-aged men laughed disdainfully as they made their remarks, regarding Chen Yang as nothing more than an insignificant lackey, not even worth getting upset over.
Chen Yang remained unfazed though, even grinning when they brought up Fu Deren.
He thought to himself that these people seemed to be somewhat influential, bold enough to mention Fu Deren.
âBoss Xiao, donât be angry, he was just impulsive.
We can talk about the shop issue properly; thereâs no need to harm our relationship.â
Just as Chen Yang was about to speak, Yang Caiyun suddenly turned to the group of middle-aged men and spoke up for them.
She seemed to be very wary of these people in front of her.
âHeh, Yang Caiyun, how exactly do we âtalk properlyâ?
Agree to sell it to me?â
Boss Xiao sneered coldly, still eyeing Yang Caiyunâs shop, wanting her to transfer it to him.
âHeh, Boss XiaoâŚâ
Yang Caiyun gave a forced laugh, trying to say some good words to stall for time.
But this time, Chen Yang beat her to it.
âNo need to talk, we definitely wonât transfer the restaurant to you.
Get out of here, now!â
Chen Yang roared again, giving absolutely no face to the people opposite him, telling them to scram directly.
Chen Yangâs sudden charge might have been dismissed by these middle-aged men, but when he spoke out again in such a manner, they became angry on the spot.
âYou really looking for death, kid?
How dare you speak to me like that?â
The leading Boss Xiao revealed a menacing look and even took out a switchblade from his pocket, aiming it at Chen Yang.
He made it look like he was about to stab someone in the next second.
âYang Zi, stop talking.
They are genuine gangsters, and we canât afford to mess with themâŚâ
Seeing Boss Xiao provoked, Yang Caiyun panicked and quickly asked Chen Yang to stop talking, leaving it to her to handle.
âSister, thereâs nothing to talk about with these people.
So what if theyâre gangsters?
Whatâs there to be afraid of?â
But Chen Yang didnât back down at all, not wanting Yang Caiyun to be under pressure, and also believing there was no need to take their crap.
After speaking to Yang Caiyun, Chen Yang turned to Boss Xiao: âI heard you mention Fu Deren just now.
Are you close with him?â
The angry Boss Xiao did not understand why Chen Yang asked this, but he still answered Chen Yang,
âAll right, whatâs it to you?
You think you know him?
Trying to use him to press me down?â
Boss Xiao wore a look of arrogance, as if not fearing Fu Deren was something very impressive.
âSince you know him, I advise you to find out from him who I am.
Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!â
Chen Yang said calmly.
Although Chen Yang was really annoyed by these peopleâs behavior, he knew it was best to avoid conflict if it could be avoided.
However, upon hearing Chen Yangâs words, Boss Xiao had no intention of making a call to find out.
In his eyes, Chen Yang was just a young punk; what kind of backing could he possibly have?
His expression turned cold, and he brandished the switchblade in his hand.
âKid, Iâm giving you one last chance: kneel down and apologize to me.
If you apologize for offending me just now, Iâll pretend I didnât hear it.
Otherwise, youâre not walking out of this door today.â
Boss Xiao said coldly.
âIâm also giving you a chance, leave now, or you wonât be able to leave either.â
Chen Yang replied to Boss Xiao defiantly.
Upon hearing this, Boss Xiao was completely enraged.
âSeeking death.â
He growled lowly and swung the switchblade, stabbing toward Chen Yang.
Boss Xiaoâs sudden move caught Chen Yang by surprise!
This guy was truly vicious!
Just a few words not going his way, and he was ready to kill!
âYouâre the one seeking death!â
Chen Yang was also infuriated, and quickly reacted.
He swiftly dodged the blade, moved to Boss Xiaoâs side, and punched him right in the stomach.
