Chapter 719: Talk While Eating
At Daniel's command, several thugs immediately surrounded Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong.
Unable to restrain himself, Wang Xiaocong said, "I can't do kung fu, so please don't hit me."
The thugs all laughed.
What a comedian this kid is. Just because you say not to hit you, we won't do it?
Xu Yang also gave a wry smile, "Wang Young Master, if they Spare you just because you said so, they wouldn't be pressing Chen Ling and the others."
Wang Xiaocong said, "With your skills, Xu Yang, it shouldn't be too hard to take down these guys. Let me tell you, I'm not in good shape, so you better not let me get hit."
Xu Yang said, "That depends on the circumstance, but I can assure you that you won't be beaten to death."
He could tell these thugs were tough customers.
Though he was confident in his own martial arts skills, he couldn't guarantee that Wang Xiaocong would remain completely unharmed.
Wang Xiaocong's face darkened: "Even getting injured is not okay."
He certainly knew he wouldn't be killed.
Given his identity and status, his safety was somewhat assured.
Unless faced with an utterly vicious and reckless villain, as long as he revealed his identity, his life wouldn't be in danger.
Being the heir to the Louis Family, Daniel certainly wasn't that kind of person.
So he wasn't really afraid for his life.
But if the others decided to beat him up, that would still be a problem.
Xu Yang smiled and said, "I really can't guarantee that."
Daniel, seeing the two jest and swear without a care in the world, felt disrespected and quickly said, "What are you looking at? Get moving and do it."
The thugs didn't waste words and immediately got started.
Wang Xiaocong let out a strange yell, clueless about how to dodge.
Luckily, Xu Yang knocked down the thugs on his side with punches and kicks, then pulled Wang Xiaocong to one side before taking down the rest.
Wang Xiaocong indeed didn't get hurt at all.
"Xu Yang, you're awesome!"
Wang Xiaocong couldn't help but cheer.
Joy appeared on the faces of Chen Ling and the others as well.
All their hopes were pinned on Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong.
Originally, they hadn't been confident, given that Xu Yang was a wealthy man, not particularly robust, and didn't appear to be a trained fighter.
Even Chen Ling, who had seen Xu Yang in action, didn't think he could defeat the thugs.
Unexpectedly, in just a few moves, he had knocked them down.
Looking at the state of the thugs, it was clear they were not able to fight anymore.
Daniel's expression turned extremely ugly.
He hadn't expected Xu Yang to be so fierce, even beating down the tough fighters who competed in underground boxing.
Xu Yang looked at Daniel, "I told you, they're no different from the ones I fought this afternoon. Do you believe me now?"
Daniel's expression changed several times as he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who I am? By meddling in my affairs, even if you can fight, you'll end up with no place to be buried!"
Xu Yang chuckled, "Of course, I know who you are, Chen Ling told me about you. You're the heir to the Louis Family, and the Louis Family is one of the Four Great Families of Nu City."
Daniel frowned, "If you know my identity, why would you dare oppose me? Who exactly are you?"
Xu Yang didn't intend to reveal his identity, feeling that it would be pointless, since this was Nu City in the United States, and Daniel was still the Louis Family heir. Even if he told him, Daniel wouldn't take him seriously, so he said, "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that if you don't leave with your men, I will make you lie on the ground just like them."
Daniel trembled, glancing at the thugs lying on the ground, his face changing colors.
"Fine, fine, you're tough. I will find out who you are, and no matter who you are, I will not let this go. Just you wait!"
After dropping a harsh threat, Daniel hurriedly left.
The thugs on the ground got up and followed him out.
Out on the street.
One of the thugs said, "Daniel, what should we do? Do we need to call more people to deal with that kid?"
Daniel checked the time on his wrist and shook his head, "No need, what we have to do tonight is much more important than this. If we call people now, we'll have to wait quite a while, and if it delays tonight's work, that would be troublesome."
Hearing this, the thug didn't say anything else.
He also knew that tonight's business was crucial, as it concerned the future of the Louis family.
A few of them got into the car and left.
...
On Chen Ling's side.
Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
Chen Ling immediately stepped forward, expressing her gratitude, "Xu Yang, thank you. If you hadn't shown up, we would have been in trouble."
The other four also expressed their thanks.
Without Xu Yang, they really would have been in trouble.
If they weren't crippled, they would be humiliated, and in the end, they would certainly have to hand over their technology secrets.
Xu Yang smiled and said, "I just happened to be in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to help you. By the way, didn't you say you were good at anti-tracking? How did you get discovered?"
Chen Ling's face reddened, "No matter how good my anti-tracking skills are, they can't be invincible. Daniel hired a skilled private investigator, and I couldn't do anything about it."
She quickly changed the subject, "Let's not stand outside, let's go inside and talk."
A few people entered the house and sat down on the living room sofa.
Chen Ling poured a glass of water for Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong.
Xu Yang glanced around the house and commented, "The place you're staying isn't bad, not what I expected. I thought you'd be down on your luck, living in a really bad place."
Chen Ling said, "We had no choice. It's actually safer to live in a place like this. Lesser places aren't necessarily secure. If Daniel doesn't find us, someone else would, and we might not be assured of our lives. You probably know that the 'beautiful country' is different from back home; the poor areas here are much more chaotic than anything we have back home."
Xu Yang nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the lower rungs of society here are very chaotic."
Chen Ling asked, "Xu Yang, can you really get us back home tomorrow?"
Xu Yang nodded, "Of course, I wouldn't lie to you about that."
Upon confirmation, smiles of joy appeared on the faces of Chen Ling and the others.
Xu Yang added, "Let's go eat first. We can talk about the details while we eat. I have something else to discuss with you."
Chen Ling and the others had no objections.
The group went to a restaurant in Chinatown, the same one where Chen Buhui had taken Xu Yang and the others for a meal previously.
A waiter recognized Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong as soon as they walked in, and hurried over to serve them.
As per Xu Yang's request, the waiter led them to a private room.
Once seated, Wang Xiaocong asked, "Is Chef Liang in today?"
Chef Liang's cooking was undoubtedly excellent.
Having the chance to visit this place again, if Chef Liang was in the restaurant, they would ask him to cook for them.
Last time, they left a hefty tip.
It probably wouldn't be difficult to persuade Chef Liang to cook for them again; surely, he would oblige.
Of course, he couldn't order eighty-eight dishes like Chen Buhui did.
For the seven of them, about a dozen dishes would suffice.
Wang Xiaocong was disappointed to find that Chef Liang was not in.
The waiter explained, "Young Master Wang, I'm sorry, Chef Liang has gone on vacation. He won't be back for another week."
Wang Xiaocong immediately understood the situation.
It must be that, after receiving a hefty tip, he was in high spirits and had gone off on a vacation.
Wang Xiaocong ordered a dozen of the restaurant's signature dishes and then the waiter left.
