"Look at your mother's ass! Why aren't you doing anything yet!" Monkey Brother cursed and swung his pool cue down on Li Yang's head.
When he came out, he saw that Li Yang was just a half-grown kid with no reputation. If he didn't teach him a lesson, he wouldn't be able to stay in the game anymore! Damn it, anyone dares to rub salt into my monkey's territory!
"Snap!"
The pool cue snapped in two, leaving Monkey King and the thugs stunned as they watched in astonishment as Li Yang cleaved the pool cue that Monkey King had brought down with a single palm strike.
"Hmph! So you must be Monkey King! Did you beat someone up this morning? Two women who came here to trade stocks?!" Li Yang squinted and stepped closer to Monkey King, whose face was gradually turning pale.
"So what? Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is Brother Wen. If you dare to touch me..." Monkey B, all bluster and no substance, revealed his powerful backer.
"Even if your brother-in-law is the mayor, I'll still film it!" Li Yang roared, stepped forward, grabbed the monkey's head, pulled it down hard, and delivered a brutal knee strike. With a "crack," the monkey's nose broke, and it let out a pig-like scream.
Seeing Li Yang's menacing, god-like demeanor, the rest of his henchmen dropped their pool cues and fled. "Go to hell, you monkey!"
Li Yang grabbed him by the head, lifted him up, and slammed him to the ground. Ignoring the blood streaming from his nose, he stepped on his wrist and said coldly, "Which hand did you use to hit him? Left or right?"
"Big brother, spare me! I didn't lay a hand on him..."
"Speak!" Li Yang stomped his foot, and Monkey B trembled and almost urinated.
"I, I really didn't hit them, it was them..." Monkey B tried to deny and shirk responsibility, but Li Yang moved his foot slightly, and with a crisp "crack", Monkey B's wrist bone shattered.
"Ah—" Monkey B screamed hysterically, clutching his wrists and rolling around on the ground.
"Remember, bring the money to the city's central hospital to pay the fees, or I'll cripple your other arm too!" Li Yang said, turning and leaving.
A large crowd quickly gathered around, pointing and gloating at Monkey B. Clearly, this bastard had caused a lot of trouble in the village and was extremely unpopular.
Li Yang quickly returned to the city's central hospital. Xiao Nizi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him return unharmed.
"Mom—are you alright?" Li Yang rushed to the bedside and asked with heartache. His eyes welled up with tears again.
"Li Yang, why are you back? Weren't you in class?" Mom and Dad were surprised and asked in confusion.
"I asked Brother Li Yang to come back, Uncle and Aunt," Zhao Ran said softly, head down.
"You silly girl, don't you know that your brother Li Yang is in his senior year of high school, a crucial time for taking the college entrance exam? He can't afford to neglect his studies!" Aunt Qiu scolded Zhao Ran somewhat angrily.
"Aunt Qiu, you don't need to scold Xiao Ran. Don't worry about my studies, getting into university is a piece of cake for me. I'll definitely get you into Jiangdong University next year."
"Dad, you don't need to say anything more. I'm not a child anymore. I know what I should and shouldn't do!" Li Yang said before his parents could speak.
Mom and Dad were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and suddenly realized that Li Yang seemed to have grown up in an instant.
"Hey, Li Yang, Xiao Ran should have told you everything about your mother. Don't worry, it's alright, there won't be any aftereffects," Dad said, patting Li Yang on the shoulder.
“I know,” Li Yang nodded.
"Mom, have you eaten? Is Aunt Qiu's injury alright?" Li Yang asked considerately.
Aunt Qiu quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury."
"Sigh, I have no appetite at all," Mom sighed. She was still heartbroken over the ten thousand yuan.
179: Connect and build relationships
"I'm going out to buy you guys something to eat," Li Yang said as he walked outside.
"Get out of the way, damn it, where are their hospitalized patients? Where is that woman who broke her leg today?" A man's loud shouting suddenly came from the corridor outside the door, extremely arrogant and even more jarring in the hospital.
"Get out! What are you doing?" the nurse tried to stop them in a panic, but to no avail.
Li Yang's face darkened, and he pushed open the door and walked out.
A dozen or so young men walked out of the corridor outside the door. They all looked fierce and arrogant, with their hands in their pockets and swaggering as they walked over.
A thug leered and reached out to touch the nurse's buttocks. The nurse screamed and ran away.
The leader was chewing gum incessantly, his eyes scanning the surroundings fiercely. Suddenly, he saw Li Yang standing quietly in the corridor, and his expression changed instantly.
"It's you? Li Yang!" The young man with chewing gum recognized Li Yang and said in surprise.
"So what if it's me? I remember you too. You're one of Master Song's underlings, right? I never thought you were that bastard's brother-in-law!" Li Yang was somewhat surprised, but it was also reasonable to recognize this person. Damn it, it was none other than Zhang Wenwen, the guy who had once acted all high and mighty and ambushed him.
It's unbelievable that that bastard is actually his brother-in-law. But it's not surprising, since that bastard is a scoundrel, it's only natural for his brother-in-law to follow suit.
“You’re wrong. I’m Ghost Brother’s underling now, following Mad Dog Brother!” Zhang Wen said, tilting his head and pointing his chin at Li Yang.
"Who I follow is none of my business. Did you bring the money?" Li Yang shook his head slightly and said coldly.
Zhang Wen's expression changed, and he spat out his chewing gum with a snap, the sticky gum immediately adhering to the pristine white tiles.
"Li Yang! Don't be so arrogant! When Song Qin was around, I gave you some face because of Miss Song—I spit on her—and because of Song Tian'er. Now that Song Qin is dead, Song Tian'er has to live under my thumb. If you dare to be arrogant with me again, believe me, I'll beat you and your mother into sharing a hospital room!" Zhang Wen said, pointing his index finger at Li Yang's nose repeatedly.
"It seems you're not going to pay unless you intervene to settle things!" Li Yang asked, his eyes narrowing slightly, showing no fear whatsoever.
"Damn it! You dare ask my brother Wen for money? Have you eaten shit... Ah—" The thug who had touched the nurse's butt earlier jumped out from behind Zhang Wen and cursed with a mouthful of filth. But before he could finish cursing, Li Yang slapped him across the mouth, and his face immediately twisted, half of his teeth fell out, and blood and flesh were scattered on the ground, with blood flowing down the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it! Beat him up, beat him hard!" Zhang Wen's expression changed drastically, and he shouted as he retreated.
Li Yang snorted coldly and strode forward, not allowing Zhang Wen to dodge. He nimbly moved aside the several henchmen who pounced on him and grabbed Zhang Wen's shoulder.
With a forceful pull of his five fingers, the power of his eagle claws was unleashed, and Zhang Wen groaned as he felt his shoulder almost shatter and fall off.
Suddenly, Zhang Wen collapsed into Li Yang's arms, and Li Yang slapped him hard on the stomach with one hand.
Zhang Wen coughed up a mouthful of saliva, his whole body trembling and curling up like a shrimp, his face pale as he collapsed to the ground.
