Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Preparing to Fight
"Enough talk, this time we have to show him our strength," he said with a smile.
Once Huang Haoxiang had spoken, the others had no intention of waiting any longer—after all, they were the goons hired by Huang Haoxiang for this very task.
They were eager to get it over with and leave quickly.
They immediately charged towards Liu Zheng, their fists tightly clenched.
But because they came from different directions, Liu Zheng managed to grab a broom nearby.
His heart, however, was truly anxious. He knew that facing so many by himself, if he resorted to brute force, there wasn’t much he could do.
Now, he realized he had to come up with a better way to leave this place.
He had initially thought they would be unarmed.
Yet, to his surprise, as they drew near, they suddenly pulled out fruit knives, making Liu Zheng fully aware that this was not a simple situation.
He hadn’t expected them to bring knives.
If that was the case, he definitely wouldn’t be able to match them. Now, Liu Zheng truly felt a sense of danger.
Therefore, he didn’t plan to fight them alone but thought of escaping as soon as possible. As long as he could get away, there wouldn’t be any major problems.
However, with so many surrounding him, escaping wouldn’t be easy.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out not far away.
"What are you up to in the dead of night?"
Upon hearing this voice, their movements involuntarily ceased, and Liu Zheng saw the knife almost upon him, stopped in midair.
All eyes turned towards the direction of the voice.
He hadn’t expected a few burly, tough men to show up.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng truly felt it was beyond belief that in such a short span of time he had encountered so many people one after another.
It seemed he really hadn’t consulted the almanac before leaving home today, for things to have come to this.
At this moment, he felt extremely helpless.
When those beside him saw the newcomers, they froze completely.
"Yo, what’s up with you lads?"
Quickly,
one of them spoke out.
Upon hearing this,
Liu Zheng and Huang Haoxiang were both stunned, with no idea of what was happening or what kind of scenario this was.
Did they know each other? What kind of relationship did they have?
Now, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but glance in their direction. One could tell that they were dressed in brand-name clothing, looking like rich people, but their demeanor did not match that of the wealthy.
They were certainly different from the thugs Huang Haoxiang had hired.
The ones hired by Huang Haoxiang seemed like reckless street punks.
Perhaps they specialized in taking on jobs to beat people up.
Anyone doing a bit better wouldn’t take such a job, indeed, because of the danger. If they were exposed, they could end up in jail and face hefty compensation.
But what was really going on now? Liu Zheng didn’t wish to delve deeper into it.
Moreover, the relationship between these two groups seemed somewhat delicate. If they were indeed in cahoots, the situation he faced could become even more terrifying.
Suddenly, one of the men started walking in his direction.
This really stunned Liu Zheng; he had no idea what it meant.
The man took out a mobile phone and turned on the flashlight.
Then he seriously looked at Liu Zheng’s face.
A subtle change seemed to appear on his face.
Liu Zheng’s heart also felt incredibly anxious, completely unclear about what was going on.
He awkwardly tried to say something, but the words were stifled before they could leave his mouth; in this situation, he really didn’t know what to say.
After a long while, the few people beside him finally spoke.
"Chen... Brother Chen, why are you here?"
Only then did Liu Zheng realize that the man standing in front of him and staring at him was called Brother Chen.
But he didn’t know his real name.
However, listening to everyone’s respectful tone of voice, his status must be extraordinary.
But now Liu Zheng’s situation was indeed a bit complicated.
He didn’t know if these two groups of people were friends, or if they would join the others in ganging up on him.
Just as he felt anxious, unsure of what to do next, and even thinking about how he might use this opportunity to escape.
The next second, Brother Chen turned his head coldly and said to the group that wanted to hit Liu Zheng.
"What’s the meaning of this? You want to make a move on him?"
At this moment, those few underlings also seemed very confused; they didn’t know why Brother Chen would ask such a question, nor did they understand the relationship between Liu Zheng and Brother Chen.
But to tell the truth, Liu Zheng himself had never seen this Brother Chen they spoke of.
Even Liu Zheng himself felt a bit nervous.
Let alone them.
"Looks like you’ve got some nerve, haven’t I already said that now is not a good time to take this kind of job? And do you know who you’ve messed with?"
"He’s going to be your boss in the future, and you dared to beat him silently, it seems I need to teach you a lesson, or you won’t learn how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"
After finishing his words, Brother Chen gave a look to the underling behind him.
How could that underling not know what to do? He immediately stepped forward, and without mercy, he started hitting those men.
At that moment, Liu Zheng stood frozen, as if he had heard incredible news.
He was indeed very astonished.
What boss?
He had absolutely no connection with them.
Furthermore, being a doctor, how could he possibly be connected with these underworld figures?
Moreover, he didn’t recognize this Brother Chen they were talking about.
All of this was happening so suddenly that he was entirely bewildered, not knowing how to resolve the situation.
Unexpectedly, that Brother Chen came over to his side and even offered him a cigarette.
"I’m really sorry, I never expected that you would be frightened; rest assured, no matter what, such an incident won’t happen again."
