Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Cannot Let Go
At this moment, Huang Haoxiang indeed seemed to be getting angrier and angrier, as he smashed all the wine cups on the table onto the floor.
"I really want to see how formidable this Liu Zheng is. This time I’ll definitely send more capable people to beat him up good, to see if he can still resist. I don’t believe he can always have someone backing him up."
After he spoke these words, the friends beside him also chimed in one after another.
"Exactly, to be honest, I’ve been disgusted by him for a long time. I thought he was just putting on an act before, and now we’ve run into him again. And he even had the nerve to stage a hero-saving-the-beauty scene; it’s just too ridiculous."
"Right, right. He already knew our intentions, and yet he still pretends. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Someone like him should be punished."
...
The group continued discussing, each adding their thoughts, which only fueled Huang Haoxiang’s rage even more.
Faced with such a situation, Huang Haoxiang was indeed very angry.
And very soon, his subordinates quickly found a group of rather tough individuals.
They also specifically lay in ambush in the alley Liu Zheng would usually pass through.
This time they were ready to give him a lesson.
By coincidence, Liu Zheng was just planning to pass through this alley to buy something to eat.
It was already late, and he was preparing to buy another portion of fried noodles.
Unexpectedly, just as he entered, he encountered several men who looked strong and muscular.
Furthermore, those men immediately encircled him and seemingly had no intention of letting him go.
Seeing this scene, how could he not understand what was happening?
Now it looked certain Huang Haoxiang was behind this.
Apart from him, he really couldn’t think of anyone else.
But he wasn’t worried in the least.
He had long guessed that Huang Haoxiang wouldn’t easily let him off the hook, so he must have been prepared in advance.
The men had him surrounded, yet they found Liu Zheng’s face showed no fear, which left them puzzled as to why he could remain so calm in such a situation.
"Brothers, charge!"
The leader wasted no time with talk, immediately giving the command.
And upon his command, everyone swarmed in, ready to give Liu Zheng a good beating.
But unexpectedly, at that moment, Liu Zheng neutralized their moves with incredible speed, one by one.
Not only that, he turned the tables on them.
It didn’t take long before he had all of them lying on the ground.
The men had never imagined that Liu Zheng, appearing frail and gentle, could unleash such formidable power.
Everyone was extremely surprised.
It seemed this time they had really underestimated him. Liu Zheng wasn’t as weak as they had imagined.
"Good, it seems you do have some skills. Brothers, keep it up! No matter what, there’s no way he can beat so many of us on his own."
And quickly, after the leader said those words, everyone immediately got up from the ground and charged in his direction again.
After they charged in...
Liu Zheng still dealt with them swiftly and effortlessly.
Moreover, this time he left them with no chance to escape, beating them down to the ground.
Those people tried to get up but found themselves utterly devoid of strength, and the pain they felt was unbearable.
Seeing them struggle so desperately, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but find it amusing.
It had to be said that the pills he had concocted were indeed very effective.
Fortunately, he had already had his own ideas and had started researching these things long ago.
Otherwise, facing them, he might only be on the receiving end of a beating by now.
"You should go back and train instead, thinking you could do anything to me is simply laughable," he said, strutting confidently.
After speaking, he immediately left without paying any mind to the people in front of him.
Little did he know, at this moment, someone happened to pass by and witnessed the scene.
Chen had never imagined that Liu Zheng, who looked so thin and weak, could possess such impressive martial skills.
It seemed that last time, there was really no need for him to rescue Liu Zheng.
No wonder the boss took an interest in him; it turned out that Liu Zheng had great potential in every aspect.
To be honest, Chen truly admired him for that.
And after Liu Zheng had left, Chen approached the group who were still lying on the ground, weak and powerless.
"I’m warning you, if you come looking for trouble with him again, don’t blame me for not being nice," he said.
When those few people struggled to lift their heads and saw who it was in front of them, their eyes showed a trace of fear.
They had not expected this person to be acquainted with Chen.
How could they dare to offend Chen?
They all nodded immediately.
"Brother Chen, we admit our mistake, we really won’t do such things again, we are very sorry," they said.
"Yeah, we didn’t know he was one of your people."
Hearing this, Brother Chen merely said indifferently,
"He’s my boss; you guys really have some nerve to plot against him."
After that, Chen did not stay there any longer.
He left the place immediately.
But hearing his words, the people nearby stared with eyes wide open as if they were large bells, scarcely able to believe what they had just heard.
"What did Brother Chen just say?" one of them asked, turning his head to look at the others.
They finally helped each other up from the ground.
And the person nearby also spoke with a shocked expression,
"Brother Chen just said that the Liu Zheng we wanted to hit is actually his boss? My God, what’s going on? How is that possible?"
"Yeah, I never thought such a situation could occur; it seems like we really picked the wrong fight this time," they said.
And just at that moment, as if someone had just realized something, his eyes lit up with astonishment.
"I’ve just thought of something very important," he said.
Hearing this, everyone naturally turned their attention to him, curious about what he had thought of.
"What is it? What did you think of? Come on, tell us," they urged.
