Chapter 540 - 538: Crushing the Du Family Gang
You can’t really blame Zhao Sifang for this. Chen Tianlong is so powerful, and as an ordinary martial artist, Zhao needed to tread carefully if he intended to deal with Chen Tianlong. There was no room for rashness; some underhanded tactics would be necessary.
Chen Tianlong chuckled coldly. Since this was to make a statement, there was no need for half-measures. Just take one down first, and looking at the way these characters appear, the one sprawled on the ground, Du Babao, is likely the leader of the group.
And this guy trying to launch a sneak attack must be the second in command of the team.
In this case, it plays right into Chen Tianlong’s hands; if he takes down this one, the rest will surely withdraw, crashing in defeat.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Zhao Sifang was sent flying backward while Chen Tianlong’s leg was raised high, mimicking a soccer kick. With a one-eighty degree spin, his foot shot towards Zhao Sifang’s Dantian, an intentional move by Chen Tianlong to incapacitate him, rendering him useless.
"Old Zhao, what’s wrong with you?"
Hearing the thud, Du Babao instinctively looked behind Chen Tianlong and saw Zhao Sifang collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. He immediately shouted, "Kid, you’ve killed someone, you’re dead meat now."
"Heh, now who’s dead meat?"
With a cold sneer, Chen Tianlong darted forward, seized Du Babao’s throat, and before he could react, Chen Tianlong had already lifted him single-handedly into the air.
"Cough, cough... Let go of me, kid, you’re dead for sure. Our Du Family Gang won’t let you go. You’ll be picking up your corpse soon." Even in this situation, Du Babao was still so defiant, and Chen Tianlong had to admire his nerve.
However, seeing him so resolute, Chen Tianlong decided not to hold back anymore. He tossed Du Babao up into the air, and with a "thud," he crashed back down to the ground.
Even with his martial training, if it weren’t for that, his bones would surely have shattered by now.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong quickly approached, and before Du Babao could react, stomped hard on his right leg.
"Aow!" A heart-wrenching scream burst out, like a pig being slaughtered, sending shivers down the spines of those underlings, each one petrified, unable to bear the sight.
"Ah! My leg, my leg is broken, I’m going to fight you to the death!" With that stomp from Chen Tianlong, a crack sound echoed as Du Babao’s leg was brutally broken, demonstrating sheer violence.
Currently, both Du Babao and Zhao Sifang, the two leaders, had been utterly crushed by Chen Tianlong, leaving the remaining underlings terrified, dropping their iron rods to the ground.
And as for that boastful inspector from earlier, he dropped to his knees and said, "Big brother, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize Mount Tai. It was the Du Family Gang who instructed me to do it, I’m just a worker, please... let me off."
"Ah! Hell, you coward, scared like this, get up and don’t beg him! Don’t let those steel materials through no matter what, let’s see what he can do then. I don’t believe he can kill me."
Du Babao, with a shattered leg, was on the verge of fainting from the pain, yet he refused to yield.
Originally, Chen Tianlong thought such punishment was severe enough and that Du Babao would definitely fear and compromise, but seeing his continued insolence, Chen Tianlong steeled his heart. With a backflip, he stomped on Du Babao’s Dantian.
"Bang!"
A dull thud again as Du Babao spat out a mouthful of blood and promptly passed out.
Clearly, he was done for this time, and completely finished. His leg was crippled, and his Dantian was destroyed, rendering him utterly useless.
"Alright, that’s the fate awaiting you all. My name is Chen Tianlong, Chen Tianlong from Lotus Village. If anyone in the Du Family Gang wants to challenge me, they’re welcome to try, but today my convoy will definitely pass through. No matter what, you must sign the papers, or no one here is leaving."
This is the most imposing action Chen Tianlong had ever taken, striking decisively.
Why? Purely to warn the Du Family Gang. The kindergarten was just around here, and without establishing authority, the orphanage would be perpetually bullied.
"Okay, I’ll get right on it."
Faced with such a violent Chen Tianlong, the inspector couldn’t help but fear him. Originally, he was told in cases of emergency, a call can be made, and once authorized, a stamp can be applied. The inspector merely took the opportunity to collude with the Du Family Gang, trying to make a little extra for the New Year.
"Oh? Didn’t you say the leader must be present to proceed? How come it’s suddenly okay now?" Chen Tianlong said with a bitter laugh.
"This... uh, well..."
The inspector stammered, unable to speak properly. Clearly, it was a conspiracy. If he confessed, he would definitely get beaten.
"Alright, enough said. Just get it done. I’ll let it slide this time. If I catch you doing something shady with these people again, I’ll beat you twice over each time." Chen Tianlong was still assertive.
"Alright, alright, I’ll get on it right away, please give me two minutes."
The inspector was now pale with fear, not daring to disobey. With shaky hands, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a phone, and quickly dialed a number.
Before long, he came back smiling and said, "Alright, your documents, the leader said I can sign and stamp on their behalf, hand them over."
Chen Tianlong nodded, then turned around, ready to call Liu Hu to bring over the paperwork, only to see a group of people standing there dumbfounded, clearly still in shock from earlier.
Such violence, the key was he truly had the skill; he took down this group with ease, incapacitating two leaders.
"Mr. Liu, can I have the papers?" Chen Tianlong called to Liu Hu, who was in a daze.
"Ah? Oh... alright."
Liu Hu hurriedly stepped forward, handing over the shipment documents to the inspector, and shortly after, the inspector handed back the forms, duly stamped and signed to Chen Tianlong.
"Alright, your vehicles can go out now."
The inspector was more than happy to let the convoy leave, fearing that if Chen Tianlong changed his mind, he would be the one to suffer.
"Hmm, alright." Chen Tianlong thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Mr. Liu, let’s get going, it’s getting late."
"Alright, let’s go, everyone!" With everything settled, Liu Hu wasted no time, instructing his men to return to their vehicles and continue driving.
After taking a few steps, Chen Tianlong suddenly turned back and said, "Hey, tell the Du Family Gang if they dare act so arrogantly again, I, Chen Tianlong, will destroy their base."
"Uh? Yes, yes, I’ll definitely tell them."
The inspector was now utterly panicked, agreeing unconditionally to anything Chen Tianlong said, focusing strictly on survival.
After dropping this line, Chen Tianlong slowly left with the convoy. He didn’t know if there would be more trouble later but was determined to see it through regardless.
Soon, the vehicles headed toward the destination. Fortunately, they arrived without incident, delivering the goods before the deadline, not only avoiding a loss but also making a profit of over two hundred thousand.
Thus, Yong’s steel mill narrowly escaped disaster.
