Chapter 296 - 296 287 284 Too Arrogant

296: Chapter 287 Chapter 284: Too Arrogant 296: Chapter 287 Chapter 284: Too Arrogant Ye Chen was driving past a corner when he spotted a familiar car parked at the roadside.

Surrounded by over a dozen thugs wielding iron rods and steel pipes, they smashed at the car windows.

Ye Chen glanced over and thought, shit, isn’t that Jiang Zhonggen’s ride?

The only vehicle in all of Jianghuai City with the No.1 Chief’s license plate.

Ordinary citizens would probably recognize it, let alone himself.

Ye Chen instantly jumped out of his car and yelled angrily, “Hey, what are you doing?”

“Damn it, kid, scram, or we’ll take you down with them!” the gang of youths immediately shouted at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was startled, thinking to himself, they dare to speak to Grandpa Ye like that.

With swift agility, he stepped forward, single-handedly grabbed the throat of the brash talker.

In a cold voice he asked, “What are you trying to do?

Want to take me down?”

“Don’t, please!” the thug hastily pleaded for mercy, “I was wrong, isn’t that enough?”

“Hmph!” With a fierce throw, Ye Chen sent the thug flying.

After the thug struggled up from the ground, he shouted furiously, “Damn it, go after him, kill the boy!”

“Yes!” The Chinese thugs nodded and quickly pounced, swinging their clubs and pipes.

Ye Chen smirked coldly, snapped his fingers and charged forward.

With a push from the ground, he soared into the air and in a flash, his legs struck out simultaneously against the faces of two henchmen, who immediately went down, hitting the ground head-first.

The others, not wasting a second, rushed toward him.

Once Ye Chen’s feet touched the ground, he pivoted on his left foot, sweeping his right like a deadly weapon across two more, leaving four of the thugs unable to rise.

“Die!” A man charged at Ye Chen from behind, yelling furiously.

With a sweep of his leg, Ye Chen brought him down.

The steel pipe in the man’s hand conveniently landed in Ye Chen’s.

Holding the pipe, Ye Chen gave a chilling look to the remaining six and said, “All six of you, come at once, don’t waste any more time!”

“You little punk, you’re too arrogant!” Huang Mao shouted and charged at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s steel pipe danced like a silver snake in his hand.

With a pipe in his grasp, handling six thugs was no problem for him.

The assailants’ heads swelled from the relentless blows as they fell to the ground one by one.

“Retreat!” The leader shouted, throwing a furious glance at Ye Chen as they left.

The thugs gone, debris littered the ground.

Ye Chen walked over to Jiang Zhonggen’s official car.

Its windows were smashed but had not fallen out—after all, they were bulletproof, hardly breakable by ordinary clubs and pipes.

Approaching, Ye Chen knocked on the window and the car door immediately opened.

Secretary Liu stepped out, looking timidly at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, it’s you!”

“Where’s Secretary Jiang?” Ye Chen curiously asked.

“Secretary Jiang is in the back!” Secretary Liu hurriedly opened the back door, and Jiang Zhonggen stepped down from the back seat, looking gratefully at Ye Chen and said, “Xiao Ye, thank you for saving me.

If it weren’t for you, I might not have escaped this ordeal today!”

“Haha, one does what one must!” Ye Chen replied with an easy smile, “Seeing it was Secretary Jiang’s license plate, I felt even more obliged to intervene.”

“A life-saving grace needs no thanks; this is already the second time you’ve saved me!” Jiang Zhonggen looked at Ye Chen gratefully.

“What are these people about?

How did you offend them?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“Hmph, need you ask?

It’s certainly Liu Jiangqiu’s doing!” Jiang Zhonggen said with a cold smile, “I have outmaneuvered him so many times in the officialdom, and now he has gone as far as to sabotage my car and then send underworld thugs after me.”

“I see!” Ye Chen suddenly realized.

At first, he didn’t understand what was happening, but now it all made sense.

It seemed even a chief regional officer had a tough role to play.

Political adversaries were one thing, but there were also those in his personal life wanting him dead.

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and advised, “Secretary Jiang, please be more careful in the future!”

“I will!” Jiang Zhonggen chuckled.

Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, he suddenly said to Jiang Zhonggen, “Oh, by the way, Secretary Jiang, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you!”

“Go ahead!” Jiang Zhonggen was about to get into his car when Ye Chen’s words caught his attention.

“About Lin Qiuhua…

could you, perhaps, help out in some way?” Ye Chen asked, looking somewhat embarrassed.

“How come you suddenly bring him up?” Jiang Zhonggen was taken aback and exclaimed, “Lin Qiuhua is Liu Jiangqiu’s lapdog!”

“I know this!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “Actually, it was Lin Xue’er, this little Ni, who came to ask for help, so I just want you, Secretary, to lend a hand.

After all, the destruction of Lin’s family might mean nothing to you, but I just can’t bear to see Lin Xue’er suffer like this…”

“Alright, I understand!” Jiang Zhonggen pondered for a moment.

If it were anyone else begging for mercy, they would have received nothing but scorn, but Ye Chen was different.

Jiang Zhonggen considered Liu Jiangqiu’s first major operation to be of great significance.

If he let people go now, wouldn’t that be tantamount to compromising?

“Thanks, that’s a big help, Secretary Jiang!” Ye Chen smiled.

Jiang Zhonggen didn’t turn back; he simply stepped into his car.

Xiao Liu fiddled around for a bit, and finally, the car was okay.

Then he drove off.

Ye Chen also got into the automobile and left the pitch-dark scene.

By the time he arrived at the casino, the lights were dim.

Outside the casino, groups of Heavenly Reversal Gang’s little brothers were gathering.

They were discussing which technician from Bath City has the skills that passed muster, and also knew how to take care of people.

Seeing Ye Chen arrive, everyone stood up straight and shouted, “Brother Chen!”

“Mm!” Ye Chen, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked up and patted their chests, saying, “Not bad, you guys have gotten a lot sturdier recently.

We’ll have to step up training from now on!”

“Yes!” Everyone nodded.

Upon entering the casino, Feng Zhixiao immediately came up to greet him, smiling, “Brother Chen, the boys from the prison have been picked up.

They’ve all gone to the Bath City next to Jin Sheng.

Heh heh!”

“Well done!” Ye Chen grinned and said, “From now on, brothers coming out of prison should all be received with this standard.

Don’t skimp on the money!”

“Don’t worry, Brother Chen, no one asked for a dividend this New Year.

We’ve kept a lot of money for development!” Feng Zhixiao grinned and said, “We’re planning to open a casino in the Jianghuai District, what do you think?”

“That’s possible!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “It would be best if we could take all the money from that old guy Yan Bu’er!”

“That’s right!” Feng Zhixiao, biting on his cigarette, grinned and said, “That old fart has been entrenched in Jianghuai District for too long, no telling how much money he’s sucked away!”

The group gathered in the casino for a while, and Ye Chen also inquired about some recent events.

Li Tieniu and Liu the Tyrant were still training a large number of little brothers in turns.

With the growth of the security company, the reserve force of the Heavenly Reversal Gang was gradually strengthening.

Many were starting to view the Heavenly Reversal Gang in a new light.

On the Jianghuai underworld scene, the Heavenly Reversal Gang had gradually developed from an unknown small faction into a behemoth capable of contending with the Flame Dragon Gang.

Many small gangs or hoodlums were eager to join the Heavenly Reversal Gang, which also brought a lot of strength to the gang.

According to Ye Chen’s rules, all the little brothers who joined the Heavenly Reversal Gang had to stay at Black Water Security Company first.

Only after a half-year training period could they officially join the gang.

In some respects, Black Water Security Company was actually the marrow of the Heavenly Reversal Gang, constantly creating and supplying fresh blood for the gang.

While Ye Chen was wandering around in the Heavenly Reversal Gang, suddenly, an urgent phone call came in.

“Ye Chen, it’s bad!” The caller was Li Wen.

From her tone, it seemed something big had happened.

Ye Chen quickly tried to reassure her, “Li Wen, don’t panic, take it slow, I’m listening!”

“Ye Chen, Momo’s gone missing, hurry and come to the university!” Li Wen said breathlessly, explaining the situation.

Ye Chen was stunned, immediately dropping everything and sprinting towards the university.

Liu Momo was like the apple of his eye, and he had always treated her like his little sister; Liu Momo was his only relative, his Achilles’ heel.

Ye Chen floored the accelerator, the car zooming towards Jianghuai University like a colorful ribbon.

Arriving at Jianghuai University, the security guard at the entrance immediately stopped Ye Chen.

“Shit, is it you, kid?” The guard recognized Ye Chen, who last time tricked two pretty girls into leaving with him in a beat-up Oto.

This time the kid had actually come in a luxury edition Infiniti.

Could he be some pretentious rich second-generation wannabe?

The guard was just about to open the gate when Ye Chen lost his temper: “Damn it, hurry up and open the gate, or I’ll kill you!”

Ye Chen was truly anxious, and this guard was actually giving him a hard time.

Hearing that, the guard was even less pleased.

What about rich second-generations?

The guard had seen plenty of them, and they would all obediently hand him a nice cigarette at the gates of Jianghuai University.

Normally, he wouldn’t trouble those rich kids who came for hook-ups, but Ye Chen’s tone had clearly angered him.

“I really won’t open the gate now!” The guard got stubborn with Ye Chen, too.

Without another word, Ye Chen got out of the car, holding a steering wheel lock in his hand—a sturdy lock, completely made of forged copper, and weighing several pounds.

The guard froze, yelling, “Shit, what the hell are you doing, kid!”

“I’m going to beat you to death today!” Ye Chen was furious.

Clenching his teeth, he lifted the copper lock and slammed it down hard on him.
