Zhang Yong belonged to that category of impressive people who didn't look it at all.
Yang Yi belonged to the kind that fell a bit short of being impressive, yet seemed quite the part.

Did Yang Yi now need a reason to hit someone? He hit people without any need for one. Hank acting tough in front of him was just asking for a beating.
