Chapter 526: Chapter 526

The man with the black face and narrow eyes flew out and then writhed on the ground, clutching his chest and wailing in agony.

Was it really that painful?

His behavior made Yang Fan instinctively stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous.

His elbow strike shouldn’t have caused such severe damage.

Glancing at the other big-headed man who was still unconscious, Yang Fan walked towards the man with the black face and narrow eyes.

"Are you pretending?" Yang Fan crouched down and asked.

The man with the black face and narrow eyes had sweat beads the size of peas on his forehead. He glared at Yang Fan furiously and gritted his teeth, "I’m not faking, you bastard!"

"It seems you’re not pretending." Yang Fan confirmed, then immediately slapped him, "If you’re not pretending, how dare you get so angry? Are you looking for death?"

With that slap, the fury on the man’s face dissipated in an instant. He frantically wiped the sweat that had dripped over his eyelids and said in a deep voice, "Brother, I don’t care who you are, but I advise you not to meddle in affairs that don’t concern you. This is not something you can handle. Just walk away now, and we’ll let bygones be bygones. Don’t make trouble for yourself."

Yang Fan nodded obediently, "I understand. You guys really are someone significant. But you don’t expect me to just walk away after a couple of threats, do you? Wouldn’t that make me look very cowardly? I at least need to confirm whether I can afford to provoke you."

"Brother, I’m not joking, being too curious can kill you. Do you think if I reveal my boss’s name, your future will still be fine?" the narrow-eyed man scoffed.

Yang Fan slapped him backhandedly, "You flash that disgusting smile again, and I’ll break every one of your teeth!"

The narrow-eyed man was completely stunned by the slap.

He stared straight at Yang Fan, more earnest now, "Brother, I... I’m telling you the truth."

"Cut the crap. That kid is knocked out, as long as you don’t shout about this, who would know that you spilled your boss’s secrets to me?" Yang Fan said angrily.

"This is known only to heaven, to you and to me. How complicated is that? Did your boss install a surveillance device on you, or does he have ’Heavenly Eye’ that knows everything you do? I realize you’re quite foolish, what’s more important, your own life or your boss’s name? I think you should know."

The narrow-eyed man paused for a while, then suddenly said with some confusion, "That... that seems to make sense."

Yang Fan: ?

You’ve got to be kidding me.

"Spit it out fast, or I’m really going to get rough," Yang Fan said coldly.

The narrow-eyed man exhaled, thought for a moment, and then said, "Our boss’s name is Chen Zhong. He owns this place. He left something at home and sent us to retrieve it."

"Chen Zhong, why does that name sound familiar?" Yang Fan muttered to himself, then backhandedly slapped him again.

The narrow-eyed man covered his burning cheek and protested miserably, "Big brother, why are you still hitting me!"

That slap brought tears to his eyes.

Yang Fan pointed at the locked front gate, "Look here, your boss owns this place and sent you to retrieve something, yet you avoided the main entrance and climbed the fence? What kind of honest person sends his subordinates to climb over walls to fetch things for him?"

"Let me tell you, if you try to be clever with me again, I’ll knock your teeth out, thrash you half to death, and then call the cops. Who knows, I might even get a reward for acting bravely."

The slender-eyed man quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother, don’t get agitated; I haven’t finished yet."

"Then speak up!" Yang Fan snapped.

Slender-eyed man: ...

Looking gloomy, he said to Yang Fan, "Our boss is indeed the owner of this place, but he’s been having a serious row with his wife lately. She won’t even let him in the house, and he can’t take anything out; that’s why we’re doing this."

"Big brother, you should believe us now, right? It’s easy to look up our boss’s background; you just need to search with your mobile phone, you should be able to find him, and you can judge for yourself if you can afford to mess with him?"

"If you get us arrested, we would be out in no time. But as for you, with our boss’s connections, finding out about you is just a matter of a word, and in less than a few minutes, your detailed information would probably be delivered right to someone’s doorstep."

Yang Fan nodded, "No need to check; I remember now who he is."

"Although I agree with what you said, there’s something you definitely got wrong. The two of you will certainly be charged with theft, and your boss might even appear as the victim. What kind of person do you think he is, to tolerate having two subordinates who are thieves and gangsters, bringing disgrace to his name? He’d just be handing leverage to his rivals on a silver platter."

"Little brat, you seem a bit naive."

The slender-eyed man froze again; Yang Fan’s words had really hit a nerve.

He hadn’t considered this before, but with Yang Fan pointing it out, he understood everything instantly.

Yang Fan didn’t pay attention to his reaction and seriously contemplated his own issues.

The relationship between Chen Zhong and Zhang Yulan is probably somewhat bad now, it should not be as simple as Xiao Liu said.

The purpose for which Chen Zhong sent these two little brats, should still be to search for those mobile phones.

This wasn’t something he could ask directly, as it could easily implicate his relationship with Yulan.

If their relationship were to be exposed, then Yulan would lose her upper hand in the confrontation with Chen Zhong.

Yang Fan had to neither expose his relationship with Zhang Yulan nor seem to be obviously handling the situation, which seemed to be a bit of a challenge.

After much thought, he decided to leave these two wrapped up here for Zhang Yulan to deal with.

Perhaps, Yulan could use these two to barter for something more valuable from Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong, that crafty old fox, would absolutely not allow any stain on his reputation at this crucial moment of ascendancy. He would most likely meet all of Yulan’s terms to the best of his ability.

He looked around and found no ropes outside Yulan’s house.

He had no choice but to unload the two ropes fixed to his tricycle and then very politely helped the slender-eyed man lean against the utility pole, "Brother, please bear with it a little; it’ll be over soon."

"What do you mean by this, big brother?" the slender-eyed man asked in alarm.

Yang Fan gave a wry smile, "You’re absolutely right; indeed, I can’t afford to provoke. With gods fighting, us little fishes get caught in between; what is this injustice? I thought it over and over, and I feel it’s better not to get involved in this. I won’t do anything else; you guys just stay here quietly and wait for the owner to show up, see what he wants to do."

"Brother, isn’t this a bit heartless?" the slender-eyed man shouted angrily.
