"Bro, nice moves!"
The young man shouted excitedly at Chen Fang.
Heroes admire heroes.
Chen Fang also gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're not bad either!"
At that moment.
Buzz-Cut and the other two drunkards staggered to their feet.
Not seeming intent on letting it go after taking a loss.
They pulled out their phones to make a call.
"You all just wait for me. If I don't skin you alive today, I, Buzz-Cut, have really been mixing in this area for nothing."
Just then.
A middle-aged man rushed out hastily from the inner room.
Nodding and bowing, he approached Buzz-Cut submissively.
In a fawning tone, he said, "Buzz-Cut Bro, Buzz-Cut Bro, calm down, calm down, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I'll cover your expenses today, I'll cover your expenses..."
Chen Fang had been to Ha Ha Earth Restaurant several times.
So he knew that this middle-aged man was the restaurant's owner.
Buzz-Cut said nothing, and slapped the owner across the face.
Angrily, he said, "Misunderstanding? What bullshit misunderstanding, Zhang, this happened at your place. If you don't give me an explanation, your restaurant won't need to stay open."
These words made the owner's face turn pale with fear.
He knew it was useless to try and stop Buzz-Cut.
Immediately, he turned and went to Chen Fang, grabbing his hand and saying, "Little brother, listen to me; just apologize to him. Apologize, otherwise we're all done for today."
"Who is he? Acting so arrogantly?"
Chen Fang asked.
Zhang swallowed hard.
He whispered, "This person, we really can't afford to provoke. He's...he's Liu Zhenping, Fan Chongfa's brother-in-law. They call him Buzz-Cut Bro, works as a supervisor at Chongfa Construction. One call and he can bring dozens of people over..."
Fan Chongfa?
Hearing this name.
Something buzzed in Chen Fang's head.
Quite the coincidence.
He'd just been thinking about setting a time to meet with Chongfa Construction this afternoon.
Didn't expect to run into them tonight.
The brother-in-law acts this way.
Seems like the brother-in-law isn't any better.
His mind raced, coming up with a plan.
He turned and whispered a few words into Li Weiyang's ear.
Li Weiyang immediately caught on.
She went off to the side to make a phone call.
By this time, Liu Zhenping had finished his call too.
He grabbed a chair, sat in the middle, and slammed his hand on the table, shouting, "Today's Ha Ha Earth Restaurant is closed. Anyone not wanting trouble, get out, or don't blame me later."
His words evidently had power.
His shout.
Sent those eating and watching the commotion in the hall fleeing outside.
The frantic owner stomped his feet.
So many people not paying up, and by the looks of Liu Zhenping, tonight might really turn into something big.
"What are you planning? In a law-abiding society, you still want to play gangster?"
The young man who had acted earlier saw this and immediately rushed forward.
Liu Zhenping, with his legs crossed.
Sneered, "Today I'm playing the gangster card. I want to see what you'll do."
"What will I do? I'm a cop; what do you think I can do?"
The young man was pissed too.
He reached into his pocket.
Slammed a police badge onto the table.
Upon hearing he was a cop, Liu Zhenping showed not a trace of panic.
He picked up the badge and glanced at it.
Then, swiftly, he tore the badge holder in half with a ripping sound, casually tossing it aside.
"You..."
"What you? An intern officer, still trying to act tough in front of me? From White Tower Station right, not far away, Bar, call the chief, get Yu Maoshan over here."
Liu Zhenping said arrogantly.
The drunkard just struck by Chen Fang gave a hearty "Sure thing."
Then went off to make a call.
Hearing him order the police station chief directly.
The young man grew anxious too.
Chen Fang patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What's your name?"
"Jiang Feng."
"Nice, nice name. Intern officer at White Tower Station?"
"Yeah, just a few months in."
Jiang Feng said.
Chen Fang reassured him, "It's okay, I'll handle it."
Jiang Feng didn't take it to heart.
He hadn't recognized Chen Fang.
Thinking it was just him trying to comfort.
Chen Fang also pulled up a chair.
Sitting face-to-face with Liu Zhenping.
He asked, "Buzz-Cut...Buzz-Cut Bro, let's make a deal, how do you propose we settle this?"
"Settle? After dragging it this far, you think settling's possible? Not impossible, though. How about this: you two kneel before me and shout 'Grandpa, I was wrong'. That girl, she's mine for tonight, and you'll cover brothers' medical expenses too."
"Kneeling...that won't work. These knees of mine only kneel for the dead. Kneeling for you would be like cursing you to death."
Finished speaking.
He looked back at Li Weiyang.
Said, "This beautiful lady can be yours, I just fear you won't be able to handle it."
"I can't handle it? Laughable, I can handle three women in one night, her with those small arms and legs, I've got her under control in no time."
"And the medical expenses, name a price."
"A hundred thousand."
Liu Zhenping didn't hesitate, boldly named an astronomical figure.
Chen Fang nodded slightly.
Said, "I don't agree to the first two conditions, but I'll accept the third one."
Hearing this.
Liu Zhenping's eyes lit up.
Thinking, with a hundred grand in hand, what woman couldn't be found?
His heart was excited, yet his face showed no expression. He stretched out his hand and said, "Then hand over the money."
Chen Fang was taken aback.
Said, "Why would I be giving money? Shouldn't you be paying me?"
With a slap.
Liu Zhenping slammed the table again, pointing at Chen Fang and shouting, "You're messing with me, aren't you?"
Chen Fang chuckled and said, "Wow, not bad, you could tell I was messing with you. Feeling angry?"
"You..."
Liu Zhenping wanted to stand up.
But thought for a second, knowing the three of them weren't a match for the opposite group.
He sulkily sat back down.
Nodded and said, "Fine, fine, fine, you've got guts, just you wait, soon even if you want to negotiate, I won't give you the chance..."
Once he finished speaking.
Bar shouted, "Buzz-Cut Bro, Chief Yu is here."
Everyone looked toward the entrance.
Sure enough, a police car with flashing lights was pulling in.
"You're finished now, see how I deal with you next."
After saying this.
Liu Zhenping stood up and headed toward the door.
"You two should leave, I'll handle the rest. Otherwise...you might really end up being taken in."
Jiang Feng said worriedly.
Clearly.
He understood the chief's nature all too well.
