After Heizi left with the cow, Yan Fei began to discipline the people left behind. There was no need for fists and feet this time, Yan Fei spotted a straw rope on the ground, covered in cattle dung. Undeterred, he picked it up and use it as a whip, lashing out mercilessly at the men.
The men cried out in pain, begging for mercy, their pleas unceasing. He continued to whip them until the rope grew shorter and shorter, until it was too short to use, at that point, he stopped.
He then grabbed the one who seemed to be the leader, "What did you say just now? You work for Manager Li at the Meat Processing Factory? Are you the same purchasing manager who used to collude with Zhang Laosan?"
This man had blurted it out when he couldn't bear the beating. He claimed that he also worked for someone, hoping that Yan Fei would spare him using the influence of his manager.
