Chen Huanrui couldn't believe that Zhang Zhili could have such power.
"Brother Hai, is there some misunderstanding? Why the sudden aggression?" Chen Huanrui asked with a forced smile as he approached.
Hai's face was filled with rage, and he slapped Chen Huanrui across the face. "You scoundrel, what have you done? Don't you know? Have you offended someone without realizing it?"
Chen Huanrui pointed at Zhang Zhili in disbelief. "Is Yan-ge trying to shut me down just because of this worthless guy?"
Hai slapped Chen Huanrui again. "Don't think I don't know what you've been up to in the shop, extorting people with fake antiques. Yan-ge is not clueless."
"I've tolerated you for too long. Dealing in fake antiques might be your skill, but extortion tarnishes the reputation of our Antique City!"
"Today, we're only taking down your signboard, which is already giving face to Mr. Zhou. Otherwise, I'd break your legs today! And these two, strip them and send them to the disciplinary department!" Hai pointed to the two police officers who had arrived earlier.
The two officers looked at each other and were speechless!
This sudden change stunned Tang Dapeng and Zhang Yuehong.
Just then, Shu Yanyan walked in gracefully and went straight to Zhang Zhili, smiling as she asked, "Are you satisfied with this resolution?"
Zhang Yuehong pinched Tang Dapeng hard. This woman was as beautiful as her daughter, and the way she spoke, with her eyes and smile, was suggestive. What was the relationship between these two?
Tang Dapeng shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.
Only Jiang Li stood still, her expression frozen!
This was Shu Yanyan! Exceptionally beautiful, with a mysterious background, a queen-level figure!
People outside only knew Shu Yanyan owned a teahouse, but Mr. Tao Yuzhe's grandfather had warned his grandson more than once not to cause trouble at her teahouse. That indicated the woman's background!
Such a queen, and Zhang Zhili got involved with her after just one visit to the teahouse?
Facing Shu Yanyan's question, Zhang Zhili nodded slightly. "But one thing is still missing." After speaking, Zhang Zhili's gaze fell on Chen Huanrui.
"You insulted someone just now, right? Now kneel down and apologize. Lick up your spit, and I'll let you off for today!"
Chen Huanrui now understood that Zhang Zhili had no connection with Hai or Yan-ge; he was just getting close to this woman. Shocked by Shu Yanyan's beauty, Chen Huanrui speculated that Zhang Zhili must have deceived her somehow, as how could a person of such high caliber associate with a poor guy like him?
Stepping forward, he said to Shu Yanyan, "Miss, are you sure you want to antagonize my Chen family and the Zhou family for this loser?"
"Don't be fooled. He's just a married poor man. These two beside him are his in-laws!"
"With your looks, you could enter high society. Why bother with a nobody and risk a bad reputation for yourself?"
Chen Huanrui thought that by saying this, he could undermine Zhang Zhili's position and salvage his own situation. But Shu Yanyan just glanced at him and said, "What concern is it of yours whether I'm being deceived or not? I've set my eyes on Zhang Zhili. What's it to you?"
Chen Huanrui angrily retorted, "Miss, don't blame me for not warning you. If you persist in this, offending my Chen family and the Zhou family for a nobody like him is not worth it! The circle in South Bin City is small. If you're deceived financially or emotionally, it'll be hard to enter high society in the future!"
Shu Yanyan exaggeratedly smiled and hugged Zhang Zhili's arm. "I know he's married, but I don't care! If he's willing to deceive for money and affection, I welcome it!"
This statement left not only Chen Huanrui speechless but also Tang Dapeng and Zhang Yuehong, who glared at Zhang Zhili together.
Zhang Zhili couldn't hold back anymore. Shu Yanyan was too much for him to handle, just an ordinary person like him couldn't bear her. "Stop talking nonsense. Do as I said earlier, or no one can save you today!"
Chen Huanrui retorted angrily, "Who the hell are you? You dare ask me to apologize? Are you living off women now? My Chen family is not to be trifled with! I have the support of the Zhou family, the elite of the antiques world! I won't apologize. What can you do to me?"
Chen Huanrui simply didn't believe it. With everyone watching and the police present, what could Zhang Zhili do to him?
"Eh..." Zhang Zhili's hand moved like lightning, gripping one of Chen Huanrui's fingers and bending it backward, causing Chen Huanrui to let out screams of pain.
"Crack!" With a slight force, Zhang Zhili snapped the finger, the sound of bones breaking making everyone shudder.
"Bang!" Then, Zhang Zhili kicked Chen Huanrui's knee.
"Crack!" Another sound of bones breaking echoed.
Chen Huanrui's knee shattered, and he fell to his knees in front of Tang Dapeng and Zhang Yuehong.
"Smack!" Zhang Zhili stomped on his head, forcefully pressing his whole body onto the ground. Half of his face was pressed against the floor, and the other half was under Zhang Zhili's foot.
"Apologize and lick up your spit!" Zhang Zhili's voice was cold and ruthless, and the force of his foot increased.
Chen Huanrui felt like his head was about to explode. The fear of death overwhelmed him instantly. He remembered the last time Zhang Zhili almost strangled him at the Chen family's house.
He's a lunatic! No, he's already mentally ill! If he kills him now, will he not be held legally responsible?
Zhang Yuehong tried several times to intervene and stop Zhang Zhili, but Tang Dapeng stopped her each time.
Tang Dapeng realized that his son-in-law seemed easygoing but was not afraid of trouble, and was also very stubborn.
"I apologize, I apologize!" Chen Huanrui yielded.
"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry! I was wrong!" Under everyone's gaze, Chen Huanrui not only apologized but also cleaned up the phlegm he spat out.
This scene disgusted everyone but also shocked them immensely! Chen Huanrui was actually forced to this extent? Zhang Zhili was truly ruthless! Even Jiang Li, at this moment, changed her impression of Zhang Zhili, with a fearful expression on her pretty face. Chen Huanrui obviously had a background, even Tao Yuzhe couldn't handle him, but Zhang Zhili wasn't afraid! Just to apologize to his father-in-law, he dared to resort to such harsh measures, even making enemies!
"Let's go!" Zhang Zhili couldn't be bothered with Chen Huanrui anymore, and said indifferently to Tang Dapeng and Zhang Yuehong.
As the group was about to leave, Tao Yuzhe arrived late. He called his grandfather, but when he heard it was about the incident at the antique city, his grandfather directly told him not to get involved. After spending half a day outside, he had thought of a few words to salvage the situation, but he never expected to come back and see this scene. Not only were the signs taken down, but even Chen Huanrui was beaten up! Tao Yuzhe's gaze turned to Jiang Li for inquiries.
