Chapter 554 - 552: Beating a Hasty Retreat
"Damn, you filthy ****, don’t think just because you’re Chen Tianlong’s girlfriend, I won’t dare to do anything to you. I’m telling you, Li Kai here is a lost cause, one day I’ll..."
"Ow!"
After a wail of agony, Li Kai collapsed on the ground, foaming at the mouth, unconscious.
Chen Tianlong wasn’t that furious at first, but what he couldn’t tolerate was someone insulting his woman. Clearly, Wu Mengting was the most important woman in his heart, without a doubt.
Chen Tianlong delivered an uppercut, punching Li Kai directly in the abdomen. Although the force wasn’t overwhelming, it contained immense hidden strength. It’s evident Li Kai’s internal injuries are quite severe. If he doesn’t get treated in time, he might be in life-threatening danger.
Mo Shaoyun was terrified. He didn’t expect Chen Tianlong to suddenly strike. Thank goodness the punch landed on Li Kai. If it was aimed at him, he might have been done for.
In a mix of surprise and fear, Mo Shaoyun couldn’t ensure that Chen Tianlong wouldn’t turn on him next, so he immediately rushed over to Li Kai, helping him up, thinking that maybe showing concern for the injured would prevent further attacks.
However, just as Mo Shaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, he started to get a headache the next moment because Dapeng was leading seven or eight people over, assuming their Young Master Mo had gotten into a fight.
So, as soon as they arrived, they began kicking towards Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly. He hadn’t intended to be so violent in front of Wu Mengting, but now it seemed he had no choice but to be.
Chen Tianlong grabbed one of their legs and punched Dapeng in the thigh. With a groan, Dapeng nearly fainted and, after taking two steps back, collapsed to the ground in pain.
The other henchmen, seeing this scene, were at a loss over what to do.
"Everyone stop!"
Mo Shaoyun hurriedly shouted. If things continued like this, and if Chen Tianlong really lost his temper, as their leader, he’d be in big trouble.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Young Master Mo’s shout, everyone stopped and looked at Mo Shaoyun, somewhat puzzled.
"All of you kneel for me and beg Boss Chen Tianlong for mercy. Did you hear me?"
Mo Shaoyun’s voice was almost a roar, scaring the henchmen into kneeling immediately. Although they didn’t know why, a command from the boss was an order.
Although Chen Tianlong was a bit angry, as they had insulted Wu Mengting, upon hearing Mo Shaoyun’s order, he couldn’t stay angry.
After some thought, Chen Tianlong decided not to make things too extreme, so he waved them to leave.
"What are you standing around for? Get up and take them to the hospital." Mo Shaoyun shouted to the henchmen.
"Huh? Alright, alright."
The henchmen were shocked. This fight today felt so repressed and bewildering, but since the boss had spoken, they had no choice but to comply.
Not long after, seven or eight people carried the two unconscious men out into the lobby. The earlier pretty waitress watching these people was dumbfounded. Weren’t they quite arrogant earlier? Now they were carrying the wounded and sneaking out dejectedly.
Upon reflection, she chuckled to herself, thinking they must have encountered a formidable opponent. Serves them right!
In the buffet hall, the table was now a bit messy, and everyone lost their appetite, except Lu Xiaoyu, who was somewhat displeased. There were still many delicious things she hadn’t eaten, ruined by Mo Shaoyun.
"Damn Mo Shaoyun, because of you, I didn’t get to finish my meal. Boohoo." Lu Xiaoyu pouted, pretending to cry.
"Haha, Xiaoyu, it’s okay. I’ll treat you next time!" Chen Tianlong could only comfort her this way, then glanced at Wu Mengting, seeing her face still unhappy, knowing she was still upset.
"Alright, Brother Tianlong, you better remember. Xiaoyu remembers very well." Lu Xiaoyu took out her phone, opened the memo, and said while noting, "Brother Tianlong promised to treat me to a buffet next time."
"..." Chen Tianlong was speechless.
That day, after Chen Tianlong sent Lu Xiaoyu and Wu Mengting home, he called Shen Yan, and they agreed to visit her family in the coming days.
At this time, Shen Yan had clearly arranged everything in Capital City, waiting for Chen Tianlong to come and pretend as her boyfriend.
Yunfu, a certain town.
Zhang Yufei had been tracking and investigating for two days. At this point, she felt more mature about the situation and started accepting the dealings. First, based on local police clues, she knew there’s a place in town specifically for drug transactions.
So, Zhang Yufei’s plan officially commenced.
It was the third day of the new year. Early in the morning, carrying a large bag, Zhang Yufei headed to a place called Fenglai Hotel. The hotel had a private room reserved for such transactions.
An appointment was necessary, and Zhang Yufei had made one the night before, set for a meeting in the private room at a little past ten in the morning.
Why did everyone trust this place so much?
Because the hotel’s owner was rumored to be part of the Earth Dragon Organization. So if anything happened, they would quickly alert their clients, allowing a swift escape through secret routes. Hence, it was currently the ideal place.
Soon, Zhang Yufei’s car stopped at the entrance of Fenglai Hotel. She wore oversized sunglasses and a long black coat, black stockings below, and a tight-fitting short skirt, perfectly fitting the image of a wealthy woman.
"Excuse me, Miss, are you checking in or... do you have a reservation?" the waiter respectfully asked.
When mentioning a reservation, they usually recall other matters, so the waiter deliberately paused at that point.
"Yes, I have a reservation. It’s in box A2209," Zhang Yufei said, quoting the room number provided.
"Understood, Miss. Please follow me."
The waiter, a man specializing in matters concerning the private room, instantly understood when Zhang Yufei quoted the number.
Zhang Yufei nodded slightly. Her impressive figure drew admiring glances from hotel staff and guests alike. With her large sunglasses, she exuded a distinct air of affluence.
Soon, the two arrived at the designated room. Upon opening the door, they found it empty, and Zhang Yufei was very surprised—it was practically a presidential suite.
A huge floor-to-ceiling window offered a distant view across, with green mountains and water, chirping birds and fragrant flowers, a full panorama of the whole town’s scenery.
Of course, it’s fairly simple given this is the twenty-second floor. In big cities, such buildings are common, but in a small town, a twenty-two-story hotel is truly rare.
The room was a spacious conference room, fully equipped.
"Miss Chen, please wait a moment. Your guest just called and should arrive within ten minutes."
The young male waiter smiled as he spoke.
"Thank you." Zhang Yufei replied politely.
She then moved to a sofa to sit down. Saying she wasn’t nervous would be a lie. Even though it was just the first transaction, it marked the beginning of the dealings.
