Chen Jie asked over the phone where Qiao Yousi was and found out she was in the company's office.
"I'm going to have a look. Are you coming?" Chen Jie asked.
"Your business is mine. How could I not come? Sister Kick is my sworn sister, and she's also Jiaxin's sworn sister, so she will naturally come too," Luo Yang said.
Immediately after, Zhu Li turned the car around and headed for Qiao Yousi's Huaxing Biotech Company.
Chen Jie had been to Huaxing Biotech Company before, and with her guidance, Zhu Li smoothly drove the car into the company's courtyard.
After getting out of the car, they followed Chen Jie, who knew the way well, to the door of the general manager's office.
They could hear a man cursing inside, seemingly on the verge of hitting someone.
Chen Jie opened the door and everyone rushed in. Inside the spacious office, apart from the pale-faced Honghai Shuang Qiao, there were three ferocious-looking young men.
One of them, with a fair complexion, was wearing a black shirt, black trousers, black leather shoes, and sitting on the sofa. He was crossing his legs arrogantly, holding a cigarette between two fingers and pompously puffing out smoke.
To the left and right of the man in the black shirt stood a menacing young man, issuing threats to the Qiao Sisters across the desk.
The sudden influx of people caught the group in black shirts off guard.
Seeing familiar faces, the Honghai Shuang Qiao looked as if they had seen saviors, and the panicked expression on their faces immediately lessened.
"Cousin, you're here!" Qiao Yousi greeted them.
"We heard over the phone that you were being bullied, so we came to see what was going on," Chen Jie said.
At this point, the young man in the black shirt stood up and sized up Luo Yang and the others.
"Hey, don't meddle in other people's business. We're here to collect a debt. As long as they pay up, there won't be any problems. Otherwise..." the young man in the black shirt, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, smirked, "we keep to our own paths; you better not stir up trouble that burns you!"
Luo Yang had an excellent memory. He had overheard Hei Kui's voice when Wu Yinghong called him on the phone.
Now, hearing the young man in the black shirt speak, his voice was exactly like Hei Kui's. Of course, there were people in the world whose voices sounded extremely similar.
"Hei Kui, let's talk calmly, no need to get agitated," Luo Yang tested.
"Who are you? I don't even know you!" Hei Kui was taken aback, then fixed his gaze on Luo Yang and said disdainfully.
Knowing that he was face to face with the elusive Hei Kui, Luo Yang smiled.
"I'm here to find someone," Luo Yang said smilingly.
"You find your person! I'm here to collect my debt! Don't provoke me! It's none of your business, keep your distance!" Hei Kui snorted coldly.
Luo Yang walked over nonchalantly, raised his hand, and with two sharp slaps, he smacked Hei Kui from both sides. He hit him so hard that the cigarette in his mouth flew out.
Suddenly struck by two slaps, Hei Kui was stunned. The other two young men charged at Luo Yang first.
Unfortunately for them, they were like sheep facing a tiger.
Luo Yang kicked one young man away with his left foot, swerved to dodge a punch, and with a heavy palm strike, knocked the other young man onto the ground, aiming for his temple.
By the time Hei Kui came back to his senses, Luo Yang kicked him in the shin, bringing him down to his knees.
The three utterly arrogant young men were now lying or kneeling in an instant, unable to act tough any longer, left with nothing but pained moans.
The Qiao Sisters widened their eyes, only now realizing that Luo Yang was no ordinary youth. He possessed extraordinary skills and they were all amazed and admiring.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that the person I'm looking for is actually you. And these two are my elder sisters' relatives, which makes them my sisters. How could it not be my business?" Luo Yang said with a smile.
Hei Kui grimaced in pain, his cheeks swollen red on both sides, and with that ferocious look in his eyes, there was a comical yet threatening air about him.
"Who the hell are you? Have the guts to tell me your name!" Hei Kui raged.
"My name is Luo Yang, 'yang' as in the sun. You should remember someone named Tang Dexing. Was it fun tricking him?" Luo Yang said indifferently.
Upon hearing the name "Tang Dexing," Hei Kui immediately deflated by half.
Trying to maintain composure, he said, "I don't know what you're talking about! I'm here to collect a debt! If you dare meddle in this today, you're as good as dead!"
Luo Yang raised his hand and delivered two more slaps, causing Hei Kui's head to snap sharply from side to side, and he said coldly, "I'm a country bumpkin, I don't know what rules you city folk have. We country folk have our own set of rules. Right now I'm stronger than you, so you have to follow my rules. If you don't understand, lose at least three teeth first, got it?"
Initially, seeing that Luo Yang was just a youngster, Hei Kui had thought he would be easy to handle and had even considered bringing some underworld figures to intimidate him. But seeing that Luo Yang was no pushover, Hei Kui didn't dare to play with fire anymore and could only nod in agreement.
Then, Luo Yang turned to look at the Qiao Sisters with concern, "Sisters, did he hit you?"
Touched by his words, the Qiao Sisters' eyes filled with immense gratitude and joy. They smiled sweetly and shook their heads slightly.
Meanwhile, the other two young men had gotten up, intending to run for the door. Zhu Li kicked out at them, sending them tumbling to the ground.
"Without my little brother's permission, you're not leaving this place!" Zhu Li said coldly.
Luo Yang collected the three men's cell phones and put them into his backpack, in case he needed them later.
As he was considering whether to deal with the Qiao Sisters' issue first or Tang Dexing's, his phone rang.
"only you, able to take me on a Journey to the West..."
He picked up the phone and saw it was a call from An Yuying. He thought she was just calling to check in, but upon answering, he heard her anxious voice, "Niu Zai, where are you?"
At the same time, he could hear a noisy crowd in the background on her side, not just ordinary marketplace sounds, indicating that something had happened.
"Sister An, I'm handling some things. What's up?" Luo Yang asked.
"You need to come quickly, Guihua is arguing with someone, and it's getting pretty chaotic," An Yuying said in her delicate voice.
Because of her brother's situation, Tang Guihua was prone to losing control of her emotions.
"Who is she arguing with?" Luo Yang asked curiously.
"You bought us clothes, and we talked it over and decided to buy some for you too. So we were out shopping, and before we knew it, we ended up at the tea shop owned by Guihua's family. Guihua went in, and when she saw someone else was selling stuff, she started arguing with them. Niu Zai, you need to come quickly. That person looks like they're about to hit Guihua," urged An Yuying.
Having lost the tea shop in a gambling bet, it was natural for someone else to take over as the shop owner. Guihua wouldn't have been impulsive if it had been a normal handover, but the fact that it was lost through gambling made it unbearable for her.
"I'm on my way. Tell me the exact address," Luo Yang said.
As he spoke, he turned on the speakerphone.
The county town's streets were very familiar to Chen Jie and the Qiao Sisters, and upon hearing the address, they would know how to get there.
After An Yuying provided the address of the tea shop, Luo Yang glanced around, and Qiao Yousi eagerly said, "I know where it is, I'll take you there."
Giving Hei Kui a once-over, he thought it would be fitting to bring him along. Thus, Luo Yang led Hei Kui and his gang out of the office.
Hong Jiaxin, Zhu Li, Chen Jie, and the Qiao Sisters all followed, with nine people in three cars, racing towards the tea shop.
