The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 550: Chapter 533:

"Hmph!" Li Tieniu snorted coldly and decisively charged out. With an onslaught, Jiang Wei cautiously defended. Li Tieniu’s hook punch fiercely lunged towards Jiang Wei, who hesitated for a moment, then quickly dodged to the side. However, the punch had no strength whatsoever, soft and weak. Jiang Wei was stunned, and suddenly panicked, "Damn it, it was a feint!"

"Too late!" Li Tieniu revealed a sly smile and then, with a kick as fast as a tornado leg, he fiercely kicked Jiang Wei in the chest.

A stifled kick almost made Jiang Wei cough out his internal organs; he flew backward, hitting the ground and rolling several times. The audience watched with hearts in their throats. To the uninitiated, it appeared as if the two had an immense hatred for each other. Only Haozi and Da Xia watched with interest.

"Tie Niu, that’s enough!" Liu the Tyrant hurriedly said, "If Brother Chen finds out, he’s definitely going to curse!"

"This kid dared to provoke me!" Li Tieniu gritted his teeth, "Today, I have to teach him a lesson in fighting. Jiang Wei, get up, don’t play dead!"

Jiang Wei lay on the ground, seemingly exhaling without inhaling anymore. Everyone was worried for Jiang Wei.

"Jiang Wei, get up quickly!" Everyone shouted in unison.

At that moment, Jiang Wei struggled to rise from the ground, his eyes filled with an unyielding fighting spirit. Those who saw it were thrilled by the boy’s spirit. Consequently, everyone started clapping. To get up at such a time was no small feat; it must have taken enormous courage.

"Don’t worry, I’m not dead!" Jiang Wei grinned with a smile.

"Then let me continue to accompany you on your journey!" Li Tieniu once again charged rapidly at Jiang Wei and landed a hook punch in his abdomen. Once more, Jiang Wei was knocked to the ground, causing the crowd’s hearts to wrench.

Yet shockingly, after being repeatedly knocked down by Li Tieniu seven or eight times - kicked, flipped, hooked - Jiang Wei still stood up. Even Li Tieniu was gasping for breath from exhaustion. However, like nothing had happened, the boy made effortful attempts to rise from the ground, despite his nose, eyes, and mouth swelling unrecognizably.

"I’m not dead yet!" The look in Jiang Wei’s eyes was still resolutely persistent.

"Damn it, don’t force me!" Soldiers all have a certain fierceness. Although Li Tieniu had retired, his volatile nature hadn’t changed. Grinding his teeth, and seeing Jiang Wei continue to humiliate him, he finally couldn’t restrain himself any longer. He plunged forward again, then leaped up with both legs sweeping out towards Jiang Wei’s head like scissors.

"Scissors Legs?!" Liu the Tyrant was stunned and urgently yelled, "Tie Niu, stop!"

If that kick landed, Jiang Wei’s fragile neck would surely be broken by Li Tieniu’s strike. But at that moment, stopping it seemed utterly too late; they could only leave it to fate. However, to everyone’s surprise, Jiang Wei set himself in position, and just as Li Tieniu was about to charge, he suddenly executed a backflip with a kicking motion.

Bang...

A heavy thud. Li Tieniu fell from midair onto the ground. Then, clutching his crotch, he howled in pain.

"Shit, hurry and help!" Liu the Tyrant rushed in.

Jiang Wei’s kick had been formidable, landing on Li Tieniu’s crotch the moment he charged. That one kick probably meant insufferable pain. Under Liu the Tyrant’s direction, the He Family’s guards promptly brought over a big basin of ice. Liu the Tyrant unzipped Li Tieniu’s trousers and poured the ice in, rumbling down.

The pain seemed to lessen by a fair amount. Li Tieniu moaned in relief and then collapsed onto the ground.

Jiang Wei slowly stood up, hooking a wicked smile, "All the pain, I’ve returned it all to you at once. In the end, I won!"

"You’re pretty formidable, kid!" Da Xiao walked over, patting Jiang Wei’s head.

"Heh heh..." Jiang Wei smirked.

The battle had just ended, and Ye Chen had already returned. When Ye Chen saw the mess on the scene, he immediately frowned. Haozi hurriedly scurried over and explained the situation to Ye Chen.

"At a time like this, you’re still causing trouble?" Ye Chen frowned.

"Brother Chen, I messed up!" Jiang Wei’s swollen face matched that of a pig head, but these injuries were minor compared to the agonizing pain Li Tieniu felt.

"We’re supposed to act tonight, and you’re fighting each other?!" Ye Chen’s heart was already filled with rage, but now, this incident had ignited his inner flames anew.

Everyone around could clearly sense Ye Chen’s anger, so they all bowed their heads in unison.

"Brother Chen, we... we were just sparring!" Li Tieniu, sitting on the ground clutching his crotch, turned pale as he hurriedly explained, "It was just an accidental injury!"

"Yeah, exactly, just sparring!" Jiang Wei nodded hastily.

"Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?" Ye Chen thundered angrily, "Someone come!"

"Big brother!" Mr. Shrimp immediately stepped forward.

"Twenty lashes each, and in addition, cancel both of their qualifications for tonight’s action!" Ye Chen dropped this sentence, immediately walking towards the house. His words left everyone dumbfounded. Being lashed twenty times was one thing, but canceling their qualifications for tonight’s action was quite another.

"Brother Chen...what’s going on?"

"I don’t know, could it be their time of the month?"

Everyone was discussing fervently when a guard brought in a whip; a lash from it would certainly be painful. Da Xia took the whip with reluctance and gave the two men a look, saying, "This is Boss’s order, not my own will. Don’t you two hold a grudge against me, okay?"

"Brother Shrimp, I’m willing to take forty lashes as long as Brother Chen agrees to let me participate in tonight’s mission!" Li Tieniu urgently pleaded.

"Brother Tie Niu, I can’t make that decision!" Da Xia hurriedly shook his head, "You should talk to Brother Chen yourself!"

With no other choice, the two had to lie down on the bench and take the twenty lashes. The whipping left their backs split open and bloody, but to them, these wounds were nothing. The real blow was not being able to join tonight’s operation, leaving them feeling exceptionally frustrated. Li Tieniu squatted off to the side, silently smoking, his wounded back untreated, allowing flies to buzz around the open wounds.

Everyone felt pity for the two men, but no one could help them.

Soon, night fell, and the time for action drew close, but Ye Chen’s room stayed shut. Haozi and Da Xia stood guard at the door, protecting Ye Chen’s safety. In reality, they just wanted to receive Ye Chen’s orders as soon as possible.

"What should we do? It’s almost time; could Brother Chen have fallen asleep?"

"Maybe we should knock and check?"

Haozi and Da Xia were indecisive at the doorway, unsure of what to do. But right when the two were in a quandary, a deep voice came from inside the room: "Haozi, what time is it?"

"Boss, it’s almost 8 pm, it’s time to move!" Haozi’s eyes lit up as he quickly reminded him.

"Alright, I got it!" Ye Chen nodded. At that moment, Ye Chen was sitting cross-legged on the floor, facing out the window, bathing in the moonlight streaming in. Ever since returning from Zhongnanhai, Ye Chen had been inwardly suppressing himself, sitting there for hours, meditating and sorting through things until he quickly came to understand a few matters.

Some things you must step through one footprint at a time; others need the slow boil of a frog in warm water.

Ye Chen stood up and walked out of the room, with Da Xia and Haozi following him out. In the courtyard, over four hundred members were standing in neat rows; Jiang Wei and Li Tieniu were also among them, probably still hoping Ye Chen would forgive them. When Ye Chen appeared, their faces changed. Ye Chen glanced at them and said, "Jiang Wei, Li Tieniu, step out!"

Snap!

The two instantly stepped out from the ranks. Ye Chen scanned them and said, "You two stand aside and reflect properly!"

"Brother Chen, we know we were wrong, we won’t dare to do it again, please let us join tonight’s mission!" the two quickly begged.

However, Ye Chen did not relent to their pleas, regardless of how much they begged. In the end, the two helplessly went back indoors. Ye Chen looked around at the crowd and said, "My brothers are not ones who turn on each other; my brothers need to help and support each other. Understand?"

"Yes!" The crowd cheered in unison.

"Da Xia!" Ye Chen shouted.

"Boss!" Da Xia immediately stepped forward.

"You take a hundred men, cross the checkpoint, and head straight to the Fierce Tiger Gang’s headquarters from the right side!" Ye Chen commanded with a grand gesture.

"Yes, Boss!" Da Xia nodded immediately.

"Haozi!"

"Here!" Haozi also stepped forward.

"You take a hundred men, cross the checkpoint, and go straight to the Fierce Tiger Gang headquarters from the left side!"

"Yes!" Haozi exclaimed, thrilled.

"Xiao Bai, Da Hei!" Ye Chen called out again.

Xiao Bai was a bit excited. Was Brother Chen planning to let him lead a hundred men as well? He quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Chen, I’m here!"

"You two take a hundred men, provide left and right support, go help wherever it’s tough!" Ye Chen shouted, "Do you have the confidence?!"

"Yes!" Their shouts echoed mightily.

"Brother Chen, what about me?" Liu the Tyrant became anxious on the side; everyone had assignments, was he the only one left out? Ye Chen hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile and said, "Don’t worry, isn’t there still something for you? You come with me, take a hundred men, concentrate all our firepower, set out from the center and head straight for the Fierce Tiger Gang headquarters, and engage the enemy with courage and fierce firepower!"

"Damn it, I like this!" Liu the Tyrant was immediately fired up. Shit, this was as exciting as going to war.
