Chapter 559 - 542: Hongmen

Chapter 559: Chapter 542: Hongmen

Unfortunately, dreams are plentiful, but reality is skeletal.

In no time at all, the men from Hongmen were overthrown by a pack of wolflike, fury-filled little brothers from the Heavenly Reversal Gang. The little brothers had been stifled for too long, having learned just a few days ago that Zhang Lang had been beheaded and the corpses of more than fifty brothers had been fed to the dogs by the Hongmen. This deeply outraged every member of the Heavenly Reversal Gang. In the underworld, if people die due to gang warfare, it’s quite normal. Some money is usually spent to redeem the bodies of the brothers and then bury them.

But to insult the corpses of their brothers was beyond tolerable.

Finally, they erupted, every single one of them unleashing the resentment harbored within. Suddenly, the members of the Heavenly Reversal Gang went mad.

A little brother from the Heavenly Reversal Gang was chopped on the shoulder by an opponent, and with bloodshot eyes full of rage, he stared the other down, sending shivers down his opponent’s spine. The Hongmen little brother stuttered in shock, "Fuck, a ghost!"

Despite the pain, the little brother from the Heavenly Reversal Gang grabbed his opponent’s clothes and viciously bit down on his throat, blood spurting out. The Hongmen little brother nearly vomited blood as his throat was bitten through, he wanted to scream but couldn’t make a sound. He could only flail his arms helplessly.

The little brother from the Heavenly Reversal Gang refused to let go of him.

"Oh my god, is... is... is this a devil?!"

"God, a man-eater, a man-eater!"

The Hongmen brothers were petrified by this scene. At first, a few started to flee; then it escalated to all of them running away, ignoring the furious roars of Hong Kai. From their initial extreme arrogance to frantic flight, they were utterly terrified. They couldn’t care less about Hong Kai’s orders.

Seeing everyone fleeing, Hong Kai started to run as well.

But this time, how could Ye Chen easily let him escape?

"Surround them all!" Ye Chen commanded with a wave of his hand, and over two hundred men immediately enclosed the area. Then, from inside the villa, Lord Zengzhang led out more than a hundred men.

From having an initial advantage, Hongmen quickly became the disadvantaged party, chased around like a defeated dog. Soon, Hong Kai was captured, a piece of news that uplifted everyone. When Ye Chen saw him again, Hong Kai was wearing a white shirt covered in black dust. His hair was disheveled, and his face was also dusty.

"Hong Kai, you son of a bitch!" Ye Chen glared at Hong Kai, then dashed forward in an arrow step, raising his fist and smashing it fiercely onto Hong Kai’s face, knocking out teeth and collapsing his gums.

Hong Kai was knocked to the ground by Ye Chen. Like a small chicken, he was picked up once again by Ye Chen, who fiercely slapped his face, gritting his teeth and saying, "This slap is for my Heavenly Reversal Gang brothers!"

With one slap, Hong Kai’s face swelled like a bun. He whimpered, barely able to muster the energy to speak. In the end, he could only grit his teeth to keep from being knocked out completely.

Smack!

Ye Chen raised his hand again, and with that slap, Hong Kai nearly had his breath knocked out. Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "That breath, is to teach you a lesson from your own parents, to think twice before you violate the gang rules and insult someone’s corpse again!"

Ye Chen delivered three more relentless slaps, almost killing Hong Kai. After those three slaps, Ye Chen’s own hand was aching terribly. Finally, he tossed Hong Kai to the ground, saying, "Take him back!"

"Yes!" the little brothers nodded.

Then, over three hundred of them immediately took Hong Kai back to the dungeon, along with the fifty-some other little brothers from Hong Gang who hadn’t escaped. All were taken back.

"Check who among them are the leaders of Hong Gang!" Ye Chen instructed once more.

The little brothers sprang into action, finding really two Hall Masters and three team leaders among them—six big fishes in total. This bounty excited the little brothers. Ye Chen smirked coldly, "This time, we’re going to completely eradicate Hongmen!"

"Yes!" the little brothers shouted eagerly. "Brother Chen, just say when we should attack Hongmen!"

"No rush, let’s first go console our brothers!" Ye Chen waved his hand.

Hong Kong’s major hospitals had brought Li Ke and others back from the brink of death, and they were no longer in life-threatening danger, having passed the crucial point. Ye Chen’s arrival deeply moved these brothers who had returned from the edge of death. However, most of them had lost their ability to work, some with severed tendons in their hands and feet. Though reattached, they would never be able to lift heavy objects again.

"Brother Chen!" Li Ke gritted his teeth. This time, Li Ke was also seriously injured and had become disabled. His arm had been chopped off cleanly by Hong Kai, and because they had missed the optimal time to reattach it, the arm was now useless. Looking at Li Ke’s empty sleeve, Ye Chen felt a pang of sadness in his heart. In the hospital room, several little brothers stood up, each with varying degrees of injury or disability.

"Brothers, please sit down!" Ye Chen waved his hand and then took a deep breath, saying, "Focus on recovering, all your expenses will be covered by the company. Don’t worry about anything. As for compensation, the company will provide that in accordance with the regulations!"

"Brother Chen, on behalf of the brothers, I thank you!" Li Ke was deeply moved.

Being physically disabled, he probably couldn’t continue in the same line of work. The company offered some compensation, which could be used to start a small business later on. Naturally, that was the best option. If worse came to worst, the compensation could be kept in the bank, which would provide several hundred yuan in interest each month, barely enough to scrape by.

"Think nothing of it!" Ye Chen immediately waved his hand, took another deep breath, then turned to Liu the Tyrant and said, "Liu the Tyrant, have King Guangmu and the others immediately tally up the brothers here in Hong Kong—those who were injured, killed, or disabled. We aim to have the compensation plan ready in a few days!"

"Yes!" Liu the Tyrant nodded immediately.

After visiting, Ye Chen left the hospital and then returned to the villa. By now, it was the dead of night.

"Ye Chen!" Gongsun Yue, wearing a purple dress, playfully looked at Ye Chen.

"Little Yue, what are you doing here?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"Hmph, you jerk, coming to Hong Kong and not even letting me know?" Gongsun Yue glared at Ye Chen.

"I’m not here for a visit, I’ve come on urgent business!" Ye Chen couldn’t help feeling a bit angry, women can be so bothersome at times. However, Ye Chen didn’t dare lose his temper with Gongsun Yue. This little Nizi, if she realized he was angry, would definitely make a huge fuss about it. So, Ye Chen decided to keep his cool.

"I know you’re feeling terrible!" Gongsun Yue sighed. "So many people from Heavenly Reversal Gang have died, it weighs on my mind too, alas. But, you need to turn grief into strength, keep your spirits up, keep pushing."

"Thank you!" Suddenly, Ye Chen found Gongsun Yue very sensible, very adorable.

If Gongsun Yue had chosen this moment to be petulant or whiny, it would have definitely angered Ye Chen. However, Gongsun Yue was considerate, knowing that Ye Chen would be feeling very upset and heartbroken.

Gongsun Yue didn’t linger too long at the villa; she had a short stay and then left. Her main purpose was merely to check on Ye Chen. In fact, she wanted to tell Ye Chen that she had started to slowly take charge of the Gongsun family enterprises. She was gradually changing herself, not continuing her playful ways, but striving to enhance her capabilities.

However, she didn’t speak of these changes. She planned to make something of herself first before sharing her achievements with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen rested at the villa that night, and early the next morning, Liu the Tyrant burst into Ye Chen’s room, urgently saying, "Brother Chen, Mr. Li... Mr. Li is here to see you!"

"Xiao Ruo is here?" Ye Chen was stunned.

By then, Li Ruo had already walked in. When she saw Ye Chen, with his morning erection prominent, her face instantly blushed. Liu the Tyrant picked his nose and then sheepishly left the room. Before leaving, he pushed Lin Ziwen out and closed the door.

"Xiao Ruo, you’re here!" Ye Chen scratched his head.

"Hmm!" Li Ruo nodded, then blushing, said, "Hurry up and get dressed, why aren’t you wearing pajamas when you sleep?"

"Do you ever see men sleeping in clothes?" Ye Chen retorted.

"Thug!" Li Ruo huffed softly, then turned around and left, dropping a line before she went, "I’ll be waiting outside!"

Ye Chen quickly got dressed and then rushed out.

That day, Ye Chen escorted Li Ruo back to Shenzhen. After all, Tianya Group’s matters couldn’t be delayed for a minute; to enter the stock market as quickly as possible for fundraising, Li Ruo had to seize every second. Ye Chen was meanwhile planning an effective strike against Hongmen for that evening.

As night fell, another calamity slowly brewed. Ye Chen had decided that on this very ordinary night, he would make an extraordinary move. October fifteenth. It was a day as ordinary as any other—yet it was the eve of Hongmen’s destruction.
