It was well known that Lin Tianhua was very confident in Du Feng's fighting abilities.
They say that ginger gets spicier as it ages, and that's true most of the time.
But sometimes, the old ginger isn't the spiciest.
When Lin Tianhua faced Luo Yang, honestly, whether in terms of fame or social status, the former was much higher than the latter.
Thus, Lin Tianhua did not take Luo Yang seriously.
However, Lin Tianhua couldn't suppress Luo Yang, a young man, which was truly embarrassing.
In Hongyun Town, the men who could stand toe-to-toe with Du Feng could be counted on one hand, yet this young man wasn't among them.
Unexpectedly, this young man was so formidable that with just one move, he rendered the fierce Du Feng unable to stand up again.
Lin Tianhua, who had been a formidable presence in the underworld for many years and had never been afraid of anyone, felt a sense of fear from the uninhibited smile at the corner of Luo Yang's mouth at this moment.
The private room became even quieter, and the faint music drifting in from outside seemed unable to cover the heavy breathing.
With none of Lin Tianhua's other subordinates around, he had to personally help Du Feng up and was about to leave the room when he heard Luo Yang coldly say, "Mr. Lin, I advise you not to play with fire. I'm giving you face tonight because you are my senior."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianhua's face turned blue with anger, veins bulging on his forehead, and he glared fiercely at Luo Yang before helping Du Feng out.
Over many years, no one had dared to speak to him like that but now, it was coming from a young man, which made him furious. However, having just seen Du Feng knocked down by a punch from Luo Yang, he really didn't have the courage to talk back and had to leave with his anger simmering.
Chen Jie was the first to clap her hands and laugh, "Niu Zai, you're awesome! I believe what Lili said now!"
It was well understood that not just any young man, but even a grown man would not have the nerve to rebuke Lin Tianhua. This was the first time Chen Jie had seen someone make Lin Tianhua afraid, and it was quite a significant event in Hongyun Town.
"What did she say?" Luo Yang asked curiously.
"A secret," Chen Jie replied with a glance at Zhu Li, smiling.
By then, it was almost time for the bar to close. Luo Yang said goodbye to Zhu Li and took Hong Jiaxin and the others back to the village.
Zhu Li wanted to drive him back, but he politely declined since Qin Piao had brought a motorbike to work, allowing Luo Yang to take Qin Piao's motorbike and drive the three beauties home without needing Zhu Li to make another trip.
After Luo Yang and the others had left the private room, Chen Jie exclaimed, "Lili, you once said he would become a big shot, and I didn't believe it. But after tonight, it seems he is indeed going to be a big shot! Your judgment of people is more accurate than mine."
Zhu Li said proudly, "It's good that both of us accepted him as our sworn brother. Once he grows up, we won't have to be afraid of anyone."
She sipped some red wine.
Chen Jie came over, wrapped her arms around Zhu Li's fragrant shoulders, and said with a cunning smile, "No wonder you took a liking to him..."
Before she could finish, Zhu Li coldly interrupted, "Go away, you don't need to meddle in Uncle Zhu's affairs."
...
...
Having had some red wine, Qin Piao wasn't in the mood for supper, so Luo Yang took them home.
Qin Piao's motorbike was a scooty, and the back seat couldn't fit three people.
Whenever Luo Yang rode the motorbike, An Yuying would sit behind him, tightly hugging his panther-like waist, resting her head on his broad shoulders, and chatting softly and intimately.
This time was no different, as soon as Luo Yang mounted the bike, An Yuying climbed up and finally secured the coveted spot, smiling sweetly. Leaning against Luo Yang's sturdy back, she felt content.
If Luo Yang hadn't intervened earlier, An Yuying didn't know what she would have done.
Sometimes, when calamity strikes, people really can feel desperate.
Actually, Hong Jiaxin was shy, which was why she didn't rush to claim a spot. Competing for a seat behind Luo Yang would mean competing with An Yuying.
"We can't fit," Qin Piao said.
"Let one sit in front, then it will be fine. My legs can serve as a seat," Luo Yang offered.
"Jiaxin, where will you sit?" Qin Piao asked.
"I'll take the back seat," Hong Jiaxin replied.
This suited Qin Piao just fine, and she hurriedly moved to sit in front. Now, Luo Yang couldn't clearly see the road ahead.
"Sister Piao, you should sit sideways," Luo Yang suggested.
"Alright."
Qin Piao responded and reluctantly shifted her position.
Fitting four people on one motorcycle was indeed very cramped.
If his skills weren't up to par, Luo Yang wouldn't dare carry so many people.
Of course, it also required a lot of strength, otherwise, he couldn't drive it.
The ride from the bar back to the Hongyun Brigade wasn't far, it took less than ten minutes by motorcycle.
If the distance to walk was farther, Luo Yang would ask Zhu Li to drive him and the beauties back, which would be safer.
And it was night, so the streets were much less busy.
If it had been daytime, Luo Yang would have hired an additional motorcycle, which would have been much safer.
At that moment, Hong Jiaxin hadn't gotten on the bike yet.
Luo Yang turned his head to the left, looked back, and seeing that Hong Jiaxin was still standing aside, he urged, "Squad leader, get on quickly."
With three beauties on the bike, Luo Yang felt it took some effort to steady the handlebars.
Hong Jiaxin then sat behind An Yuying, and at this moment Qin Piao said coquettishly, "Niu Zai, I'm afraid I won't sit steady. Can I hug your neck?"
Luo Yang generously said, "You can."
Immediately, Qin Piao's right arm was draped around Luo Yang's neck.
Driving the motorcycle this way for the first time, Luo Yang felt a bit thrilled and nervous.
"Hold tight, I'm starting the bike. I'll drive slowly, don't be afraid," Luo Yang instructed.
"Niu Zai, try to drive slower, no need to go so fast. We're not in a rush to get back," An Yuying reminded.
She had seen Luo Yang drive the motorcycle very fast before, which was a bit scary.
"Don't worry, Sister An, I'm driving, and my skills are top-notch. Sit tight, we're off," Luo Yang said with a smile.
With a beep, the motorcycle slowly got on the road.
Underneath the starry sky, the sound of the motorcycle buzzed and filled the roadside.
Luo Yang hummed a tune and began to sing, "I am a little bird ..."
The beauties laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Qin Piao laughed, "How about we all sing together in a chorus?"
She wanted to sing too.
The moonlight was enchanting, and the night breeze gently brushed, making one feel refreshed and pleasure.
Good mood naturally makes people want to sing.
However, An Yuying and Hong Jiaxin weren't very good at singing.
"I don't really know how," An Yuying said.
"Just let Luo Yang sing," Hong Jiaxin laughed.
Since An Yuying and Hong Jiaxin weren't singing, Qin Piao felt too shy to duet with Luo Yang, so she let Luo Yang hum the tune alone.
Originally, he had planned to discuss advertising and building a public account with Tang Guihua that night. But by the time they returned to the Hongyun Brigade, it was past midnight, and Tang Guihua had gone to sleep, so they decided to talk to her the next day.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Yang had driven the motorcycle right up to the door of Qin Piao's house. He truly wished he could drive endlessly, carrying the beauties under the starry sky forever, freely.
Luo Yang's family had gone to sleep, and although he could shower at Qin Piao's house, he couldn't change clothes. An Yuying was in the same situation.
The coolness of the night made one reluctant to sleep.
The four of them drank red wine, their blood slightly alcoholic and exhilarated, and they weren't in a hurry to shower.
"Master, teach me martial arts," Qin Piao asked in a coquettish voice.
"Let's practice tomorrow," Luo Yang suggested.
"No, let's have a lesson tonight. Since we haven't showered yet, we could practice a bit, sweat a bit, and then shower," Qin Piao pleaded.
"Okay, I want to drink some water first. Aren't you guys thirsty?" Luo Yang looked around.
