Silly K's expression changed instantly; he knew he was in trouble and tried to run away, but it was too late. Lu Da strode forward, grabbed Silly K by the collar, and slapped him repeatedly across the face, making Silly K's fat cheeks fly out of their sockets and blood flow from the corner of his mouth. He gasped in pain and almost fainted, but he didn't dare to fight back.
"Damn it, he's a coward, he won't fight back. No fun~" Luda punched him a few more times, then tossed him aside, bored. He stood behind Li Yang again, like a guardian spirit, scanning the surroundings menacingly, which immediately frightened the spoiled young men and socialites into taking a step back.
A rich, enticing aroma of meat wafted through the air, making mouths water. Li Yang's eyes lit up, and he said to the Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf sisters, "The beef is ready! Let's go eat some beef!"
The two women, still shaken from the earlier ordeal, heard Li Yang's greeting and smelled the delicious aroma. Having come on an empty stomach and exhausted from the fright, their stomachs rumbled loudly. Their mouths watered instantly, and without further hesitation, they nodded and joined Li Yang's group.
Lu Da, of course, didn't need Li Yang to stand on ceremony. He rushed forward and grabbed chunks of beef that the chefs had grilled, devouring them. The chefs, who had been watching with great enthusiasm, admired Lu Da and stared at him with shining eyes, grilling even more diligently.
K, who had just wiped the blood off his face from the edge of the crowd, was hiding on the outskirts. He had lost several teeth, including a front tooth, which made him speak with a lisp. "Damn it, this is so unfair! I paid for the imported beef and hired the chef. Damn it, I spent tens of thousands of yuan! And you guys just wasted it all! I'm losing money like crazy!"
"Boss, this beef is great, the chef's skills are excellent, and the taste is not bad~" Lu Da devoured several pounds of beef in a flash, his mouth dripping with oil.
The crowd shook their heads slightly. What a crude and uncouth brute! But his eating manners were quite domineering.
Then look at Li Yang, he wasn't much better off. His cheeks were bulging, all beef, and his lips were shiny with oil. He could barely speak, saying, "Bullshit, this is imported Japanese beef! Damn, Japan has scarce resources, but this beef tastes pretty good!"
"Don't be shy, eat as much as you like!" Li Yang said to Tao Hua and Tao Ye.
Peach Blossom glanced at Li Yang, nodded her thanks, and ate in small, elegant bites. Peach Leaf also ate in small bites, very ladylike, but inwardly she found it amusing, thinking that Li Yang was the one in charge here, while her eyes shone even brighter as she stared at him.
Those spoiled brats and socialites didn't dare to leave or come up to eat with them. They just stood around, drooling, watching them eat with gusto. The chefs didn't care. They'd already taken the money. They were here to barbecue, so they just focused on the barbecue. Whoever wanted to eat could eat. What business was it of theirs?
Li Yang enjoyed his meal immensely. The barbecued beef and lamb, paired with cola and red wine, were surprisingly delicious.
"Do you have Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) or garlic?" Li Yang asked at the top of his lungs.
"No," the chef said apologetically. This was an upscale gathering; garlic had too strong a smell to be served.
"Damn, this idiot K is so ignorant and tasteless. Eating meat with garlic is what makes it delicious~ Hey brother, stop looking at the car and come eat with us!" Li Yang called to his buddy who was driving him to come and eat with him.
"Boss, I'm not hungry," the underling said modestly.
"Damn it, keep pretending. I'll starve you for another day!" Li Yang glared at him.
"That's right, just eat what the boss tells you to eat, why all the nonsense~" Luda muttered.
The driver rubbed his hands together, his face flushed with excitement, and said, "Thank you, boss! Thank you, Brother Da!" He then sat down and began to eat heartily, his mouth and hands covered in oil.
Swish, swish, swish...
The sound of a speeding car approaching filled the air. A luxurious Mercedes sped up and screeched to a halt on the main road, kicking up a cloud of dust. As soon as the car came to a stop, the door swung open and a wealthy woman jumped out. Her eyes darted around like lightning, and she immediately spotted the Porsche, now a wrecked piece of junk. Then, she turned and saw Jin Sichun lying on the ground like a dead pig, covered in blood. Who else could it be but her precious daughter?
"Oh dear... my son, who beat you up like this... tell your mother, and I'll have the police arrest him and make him rot in jail—" The wealthy woman screamed like a pig being slaughtered, threw down her Hermes bag, and, disregarding her expensive clothes and high heels, pounced on Jin Sichun. It seemed to be the mother of that bastard Jin Sichun.
With a thud, another middle-aged man stepped out of the Mercedes. He had a potbelly, wore an expensive suit, his hair was meticulously styled, and he sported gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a refined air. However, at this moment, he exuded a murderous aura, his eyes filled with a sinister glint. He too had seen his unconscious son, and his lungs were about to explode with rage, but he was a man of deep composure, concealing his emotions and holding back. His cold gaze swept over the group, noticing that everyone was staring strangely at the five people—three men and two women. Hmm, the women seemed to be twin sisters; he recognized them. The men were strangers. The twin sisters' expressions changed drastically upon seeing him; they stood up, no longer daring to eat, their expressions a mixture of tension and hatred. The other three men, however, seemed oblivious to his presence, continuing to eat with relish. He almost immediately concluded that they were the three who had beaten his son.
"Good, very good~ You've got guts, you're arrogant enough~ Just you wait~" Jin Zhejiu said to the three of them with a forced smile. Just wait, the police will be here soon. I called the police when I came. They hurt my son like this, they'll be rotting in jail.
"I'm just waiting, aren't I?" Li Yang spat out a piece of tough, chewy meat and said casually.
"You—very good~" Jin Zhejiu was almost furious. He'd seen arrogant people before, but never anyone this arrogant. He had to teach them a lesson, otherwise the Jin family would have lost all face. There were quite a few gloating guys here. Luckily, someone had tipped them off, otherwise his son would have been dead for sure.
"Ah—I'll fight you to the death!" Jin Zhejiu's mother, Miao Zhuzhu, screamed, grabbing the Hermes bag she had just thrown away. No longer caring about the bag worth tens of thousands, she swung it straight at Li Yang. Tao Hua and Tao Ye gasped, watching Miao Zhuzhu charge towards them, unsure what to do.
Li Yang, however, seemed oblivious, continuing to devour a leg of lamb. The tender, juicy lamb was incredibly delicious. Miao Zhuzhu watched...
Rushing towards Li Yang, just as the bag was about to smash into his head, a burly man suddenly appeared from the side. His greasy hand reached out and grabbed the bag as it was being swung in the air, leaving a greasy handprint on the exquisite and expensive bag. He then kicked out cleanly and swiftly, sending Miao Zhuzhu flying backward with a muffled groan. After rolling several times, she spat out a mouthful of blood, writhed a few times, and was unable to get up.
"You, you are all so lawless! You are simply bandits and thugs!" Kim Cheol-gu was also provoked. After cursing, he went straight to check on his wife and son.
"Tch—idiot~" Luda curled his lip, turned around, plopped down, and continued eating meat.
Waaaaah...
Police lights flashed and sirens wailed. Two police cars, hazard lights flashing, sped up and screeched to a halt behind the luxury Mercedes. One was a vehicle from the city's criminal investigation team, and the other from the branch office's criminal investigation team.
Clap clap clap… Two teams of police officers, their uniforms crisp and badges gleaming, rushed in, led by their captain. The leader of the second team looked up and saw Li Yang engrossed in eating meat. He paused, his eyes darting around, then quickly pulled out his phone and sent a message. Only then did he stride after the captain, whispering a few words in his ear. The captain frowned slightly, and his pace slowed.
When the captain of the city's criminal investigation team heard what his trusted subordinate Yu Shunmin said, his heart skipped a beat. He gave Li Yang a deep look, and then made a decision in a flash.
"What exactly happened?" Bao Butong glanced at the scene and immediately understood. They had seen this kind of thing many times before; it was nothing more than a squabble over a girl.
"Captain Bao, Captain Yu, you've finally arrived! Arrest him quickly! He's a thug, a complete thug! If we let him run rampant for even a minute longer, someone could fall victim to his crimes. He must be severely punished to uphold the morals of the city and the dignity of the law!" Jin Zhejiu rushed up to Bao Butong Shunmin and said excitedly.
Chapter 838: Secretary-General
Bao Butong took a step back to avoid Jin Zhejiu's spittle landing on his face. Yu Shunmin looked at him with some sympathy. He had just sent a message to someone, and he figured there was going to be a good show to watch today.
Sure enough, Bao Butong frowned and looked at Jin Zhejiu, saying, "President Jin, don't get too agitated. We will enforce the law impartially."
"He must be severely punished, he absolutely must be severely punished!" Jin Zhejiu said angrily.
"You, did you injure the young master of the Jin family?" Bao Butong walked up to the barbecue stall and asked.
Li Yang wiped his mouth and stood up. Although he saw Yu Shunmin and knew from his eyes that Bao Butong was one of his own, he still stood up to give him face. People should help each other out; if he was too arrogant, Bao Butong would be unhappy and think that he looked down on him.
Li Yang stood up, and Lu Da and the driver also hurriedly stood up, abandoning their food.
“We didn’t hit him,” Li Yang said calmly.
“Yes, we didn’t do anything,” Lu Da hurriedly said.
The parties involved were unconscious and denied everything, making the matter difficult to resolve. He had no choice but to question witnesses. He looked at the peach blossoms and leaves and asked, "What did you see?"
Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf glanced at Li Yang, then looked at Lu Da, and shook their heads slightly, saying, "I didn't see anything."
"Captain Bao, no need to ask anymore, it's them. Just arrest them!" Jin Zhejiu said angrily.
