Chapter 455: I'll Help Round You Off!

The New Dream Renova Company's owner—Ye Wentao, was a rich and powerful man. He was Jindi Group's Boss—Ye Wenhe's younger biological brother, someone whose character was arrogant and exceptionally overbearing. He liked to befriend people from all trades and had earned a lot of ill-gotten wealth over the years.

"If he's really rich and has come knocking our door, then he must shed three layers of skin in his wallet."

"But of course, Boss," said Manager Li, smirking. "The guests who come to our New Dream, was there anyone who didn't hire our people? If the lad is sensible and gives us a good project, then we can make quite a fortune."

Grinning, Ye Wentao caressed his bare, big forehead and said, "Take me to see him! I'm now curious to know what is this big project."

"All right."

Manager Li brought Ye Wentao to the VIP room on the second floor.

After they walked through the door, Ye Wentao's eyes fell on Tang Xiu, who was still smoking quietly. His thick, short fingers touched his round belly, as he smilingly approached and greeted, "You're very young, Little Brother! I'm the New Dream Renova Company's Boss, Ye Wentao. How should I call you, Little Brother?"

Ye Wentao?

A cold glint flashed in Tang Xiu's eyes, as he pointed to the sofa in front of him and said, "Sit down and let's have a chat."

Staring blankly for a moment, Ye Wentao then immediately burst into laughter. After sitting on the opposite sofa, he smilingly said, "So, Little Brother. Shouldn't you answer me now?"

"I still don't want to answer your question," said Tang Xiu lightly. "But I can tell you who I am if you can answer some of my questions first."

The smile on Ye Wentao's face quickly receded. His eyes, which were already small, squinted. He stared at Tang Xiu and sized him up. Following that, he unhurriedly said, "Ask if you have questions! I'll answer you, and naturally won't conceal anything."

"The first question is, have you ever personally killed before? Also, the number of people you have killed should be more than one or two," said Tang Xiu.

Ye Wentao abruptly got up from the sofa. An ominous light burst from his eyes as he shouted sternly, "Who are you?

"A gentleman's word is as worthy as gold, and he never takes it back. You just said that you will answer my questions first," said Tang Xiu indifferently.

Ye Wentao was silent for a short while before he answered, "You're joking, Little Brother. I'm always a straight, serious, and formal businessman. How could there be people's lives in my hands?"

"Next, I want to know something. Does your New Dream Renova Company is a company that does business, or is it a gang?"

Clenching his fists, Ye Wentao turned his head and gave Manager Li a look. As the manager left the room, a scorning smile appeared on his face, "It seems you are not here to talk about business, but to cause trouble instead. Do say! Are you someone from the underworld?"

"You indeed have no composure nor willpower at all. To think that you would show such an appearance just after I asked you only two questions." Tang Xiu shook his head. "Since you want to know whether I'm from that path, then I'll tell you. I indeed came here today to cause you trouble, for I'm someone specialized in it, to begin with."

Looking deeply at Tang Xiu, Ye Wentao gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed in praise, "Good, just great! Heroes do really come from the youth. The last time some lowlifes came wanting to make trouble was probably more than a decade ago. Never thought that there would come a day where a reckless lad who has no idea of death or danger would appear here. Regardless of who you are and whatever fucking resentment you have with my New Dream Renova company, don't ever think you will be able to leave here today."

"You want to take care of me, eh?" Tang Xiu mocked. "Do you really don't want to know the reason why you'll be dying?"

"Is it even relevant?" Ye Wentao raised his brows and faintly smiled.

"It indeed has no significance at all. I came here today seeking revenge. But if you are nothing but a pushover, bullying you won't give me any pleasure and fun whatsoever. Thus, I'm giving you two hours. I hope you can put out enough trump cards that can make me cautious."

Bam…

The VIP room's door was pushed open, as seven or eight strong men and a young man dressed in a suit and tie came in quickly from the outside. Tang Xiu had seen them in the first floor lobby before. Each and every one of them looked well-dressed and wore a courteous disguise, and now they had torn off that layer of façade and finally showed their true hideous and ferocious faces.

Yet, Ye Wentao seemed not to be in a hurry to clean up Tang Xiu. Instead, he looked at Tang Xiu with a faint smile and said, "Now you should know that I wasn't blustering, right? Let's talk now! Who the hell are you, lad, and what's your background? I hope you can say something fierce to deal with us so that you can scare me well."

"You want to know? Fine, I'll tell you," said Tang Xiu. "I'm one of the shareholders of the New World Fitness Center."

New World Fitness Center?

Ye Wentao turned his head to Manager Li and asked, "Do you know this fitness center?"

A cold glint flashed in Manager Li's eyes, as he answered in a deep voice, "I know this fitness center, Boss. But they haven't opened their business yet, and even the site has yet to be renovated! Yesterday afternoon Ah Yang took some people to give the owner of this fitness center and the renovation workers there some beatings. This punk must have come to demand explanations!"

"Nope, you spoke incorrectly." Tang Xiu shook his head. "I came seeking revenge."

"You're here for revenge? Relying on yourself?" Manager Li jeered and laughed loudly.

"Correct. I'm fine by myself," said Tang Xiu with a nod.

Manager Li took a step back and gave Ye Wentao the spot to talk.

Ye Wentao shook his head, with a dull and uninterested expression on his face, saying, "Since you're a brain-dead idiot asking for troubles, then I'll fulfill your wish. I hope you can remember this lesson. Do not force yourself if you have no power. Cripple this punk!"

Immediately, seven or eight strong youths rolled up their sleeves and stormed over toward Tang Xiu. They made big fists and prepared to waste Tang Xiu.

However, Tang Xiu wasn't in a hurry to get up, and just stretched his foot to trample on the youth's bare feet in the forefront, causing him to momentarily lose his balance and fall down toward Tang Xiu; while at the same time, Tang Xiu grabbed his shoulder. Being forced by a huge strength, the youth screamed, as Tang Xiu easily threw him upside down, using him as a temporary weapon to sweep three other youths.

Bam, bam, bam!

The three youths were kicked by Tang Xiu and their bodies fell backward.

In a flash, Tang Xiu got up and slammed the youth in his grasp at the trio, as his feet also trampled the trio in the abdomen, causing them to fly upside down and fall down to the floor, nearly kneeling.

"Kill him!"

The other three youths immediately had their complexion greatly changed upon seeing this scene. One of them, whose face was fiendish, sternly shouted as he sent a wave of punchs toward Tang Xiu.

"What weak pussies!"

Tang Xiu looked at them with contempt. As fast as a flashes of lightning, his fists punched the four youths who were in the disoriented state, as each one of them were hit on their chests. It only took a flash of effort as the four of them flew upside down. They spat out blood and fell to the floor.

Eight men were all knocked down in just ten seconds!

Ye Wentao's complexion suddenly changed, a frightened and panicked expression appearing on his face. After stepping backward a few steps, he pushed Manager Li aside. The manager wildly rushed to the VIP room. He then pulled a dagger from his waist, pointed its tip at Tang Xiu and shouted with a vicious expression, "You do have some skill, punk! You did good to knock them down. However, I wanna know, can you beat ten times their number?"

"Hmph, let alone 80, I can still smash 800 of you." Tang Xiu sat back on the sofa again and sneered. "Don't be afraid, though. I said I'd give two hours. Call out of your people and put out all of your trump cards within these two hours, so as to avoid me losing interest in you."

"You really are crazy, and so fucking arrogant. However, I hope you can still so nonchalant like this later." Ye Wentao gave him a thumbs up and scornfully sneered. "I have been in Shanghai's shady waters for years, and I have seen many suicidal bastards, yet an extremely arrogant like you is really rare. You… really made me interested."

Tang Xiu shook his head and lit up another cigarette. While smoking, he said, "After today, Shanghai will no longer have a sort like you anymore. I don't kill good people, but your hands have been stained by a lot of blood, so you must die unless you accept my demand!"

"I know that you're very arrogant, lad. But you won't have things as you wish!" Ye Wentao grinned, "However, I wanna hear it, nevertheless. What is your demand, exactly?"

"Don't worry. I'll tell you after you are at your wit's end," said Tang Xiu.

Coldly smiling in response, Ye Wentao put down his dagger as well. He then took out a cigarette and lit up as well. While smoking his cigarette, he waited.

Two minutes later, more than a dozen youths rushed into the VIP room. Their complexion greatly changed after seeing their comrades fallen on the floor. In a flash, some of them took out knives from their waists and pointed them at Tang Xiu. All they needed was Ye Wentao's order and they would storm over all at once.

However, Ye Wentao didn't issue the order immediately, but rather looked at Tang Xiu and said, "Lad, this place is rather small, so we might as well resolve this in a larger place."

Tang Xiu got up. As he walked, he stepped on a youth's wrist; the sound of broken bones then sounded. Then, under the fierce glares of Ye Wentao and the others', Tang Xiu didn't stop his actions and stepped on the wrists of the eight youths one at a time. Within just several seconds, the right hand's wrists of the eight youths were all broken.

"Asshole, you're too ruthless!"

Ye Wentao was furious.

"Ruthless?" Tang Xiu sneered. "My friend was severely injured by your people and now is lying in a hospital bed. How come you didn't feel bad at that time? I guarantee that all of you will end up worse than him today. I'll make you regret messing with my friend for the of your life."

"Tell me, who the fuck are you?" Ye Wentao gasped deeply a few times and fiercely shouted.

At this time, a youth who was in front of Ye Wentao suddenly shouted, "I know him, Boss. His name is Tang Xiu, this year's freshman from Shanghai University. I watched a video of him singing and playing the zither a couple of days ago."

Chapter 456: Devil

A freshman at Shanghai University?

Ye Wentao suddenly remembered a video he had seen a couple days ago. He recalled the figure singing and playing the zither in the footage and compared him with Tang Xiu. He immediately realized why he felt that the young man looked so familiar. It turned out that he had seen him in that video.

"I didn't think you were so gifted. But a pity, it will be very difficult for you to get out of my renovation company today," said Ye Wentao in a cold tone.

"You would already have been done if I hadn't given you time just now. There's no point in you saying anything now. Lead the way!" Tang Xiu coldly looked at him.

Ye Wentao turned and took the lead out of the VIP room, a dozen of fierce-looking youths angrily glaring at Tang Xiu. As Tang Xiu stepped out of the room, they also followed closely.

In the New Dream Renova Company's backyard.

With a sneer on his face, Ye Wentao came to a stop there. His men arrived one after the other, the number now exceeding 30 as they surrounded Tang Xiu. Most of them held weapons such as machetes and steel pipes. He was confident that Tang Xiu would be hacked to death as long as he gave them the order.

"Tang Xiu, isn't it? I'm suddenly feeling merciful. I can spare you miserable life as long as you beg me for mercy and break one leg of yours. Of course, there's no way you can get out without compensation, though it won't be too outrageous. You injured eight of my men, so you must pay 10 million yuan in compensation each. Pay 80 million in compensation and we can forget this matter."

Slowly raising his hand, Tang Xiu stretched his finger and hooked it toward Ye Wentao and indifferently said, "Tell your men to come at me. We shall see whether it'll be you or I who will die."

"Trash him but don't kill him. It doesn't matter if you got him crippled!" Ye Wentao scowled and shouted violently.

In a flash, more than ten men armed with machetes and steel pipes stormed over toward Tang Xiu. Most of them were experienced in fighting, and they had used the weapons in their hands to beat up quite a lot of people as well. Therefore, they brought that confidence to clash with Tang Xiu.

Alertly observing his four sides, yet don't acting hashly, Tang Xiu then moved as though lightning. He instantly flashed to the side, his fist hitting the man in front. At the same time, his other hand also grabbed the steel pipe the man hacked at him and easily snatched it.

Pa, Pa…

Blood splashed in all direction as the steel pipe smashed heads.

The steel pipe's afterimage in Tang Xiu's hand was waving like a tiger in the midst of a flock of sheep. The men who had him surrounded were unable to see Tang Xiu's movements and were smashed by the steel pipe, falling down to the ground. Yet, Tang Xiu's footsteps didn't cease moving as the foot of a man was broken whenever his footsteps landed.

"Heavens! How is this possible?"

"Fuck! How could he be so powerful?"

"Am I dreaming? Dozens of our Brothers got done in already?"

"P-probably, not even half a minute passed from the beginning to the end, right?"

There were still more than 20 men who had yet to act. They had looks of disbelief on their faces, as many of them couldn't help but exclaim in alarm when they saw this scene.

People say that a pair of fists can't contend with four enemies.

Yet, in front of Tang Xiu, the Internet celebrity who seemed to be only in his early 20s and turned out to have such powerful skills, everyone gaped and was shocked. After all, never once had they ever seen or heard of a man knocking out dozens of people, to begin with.

Is he Zhao Zilong from Changshan or something?

Many suddenly remembered such sentence. In their view, wasn't this feat only something the historical Zhao Yun from Changshan could achieve?

Not far away from the scene, Ye Wentao gaped in disbelief as he looked at Tang Xiu. He could barely accept the fact that Tang Xiu was able to take down his eight men in the VIP room before, but now, seeing Tang Xiu easily take down 15 of his men at the same time that easily was something he could no longer accept.

It must be known that those 15 men were more powerful than the previous eight men. Even two or three ordinary people were not opponents for the two men amongst them.

"Anhu!"

Recovering from his shock, Ye Wentao quickly shouted loudly.

A tall, bear-like middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd, the steel machete in his hand reflecting dazzling lights under the sunlight. He was the best fighter Ye Wentao had. He had once defeated seven people and came out unscathed.

"I may not be able to beat him, Boss. Please order Little Qing to give me a hand."

"Pick whoever you think can assist you." Ye Wentao growled. "But no matter what, I don't want this punk to get away alive from my renovation company today!"

"Got it!"

Anhu nodded heavily, murderous intent in his eyes. He shouted in a heavy voice, "Little Qing, Ah Ben, Little Mao! You three come assist me!"

Immediately, three stalwart men stepped out of the crowd. In their hands were machetes and steel pipes. They glared fiercely at Tang Xiu as they encircled him in the middle at an extremely quick pace.

"Now, now. You should be Ye Wentao's most powerful dogs, yes? Seeing you makes me suddenly recall an ancient saying," said Tang Xiu with a sneer.

"What ancient saying?" Anhu squinted his eyes, a murderous intent flashing as he asked.

"The monkeys reign when the there are no tigers in the mountain," said Tang Xiu indifferently. "Soft-legged shrimps don't have any strength whatsoever in front of me."

"Hmph, whether or not I have the strength to fight back, that will have to be tried first." Anhu sneered.

After saying that, he stepped forward. His footsteps were solid and were particularly positioned. In just a short two breaths he appeared in front of Tang Xiu. His one-meter steel machete hacked down toward Tang Xiu's head. Had it been a ordinary person, the machete would probably split him in half.

Fending and dodging to the side, Tang Xiu's footsteps glided for half a meter. He instantly smashed his steel pipe on the back of Anhu's head. Blood splattered in all directions the moment after, as Anhu was battered to death directly by Tang Xiu.

You've taken a lot of human lives. Consider it a blessing and good fortune for you to die first in my hands.

Tang Xiu spoke inwardly as he reached out and grabbed Anhu's body, maneuvering the corpse to block the two men who came hacking at him.

Bam…

Tang Xiu threw Anhu's body to the man with the machete. His legs instantly moved toward the other two men, smashing the steel pipe on the right side of their necks and causing them to fall straight to the ground. This time he didn't kill them, but his fingers pressed some of their acupoints. His star force flushed into their bodies and destroyed their nerve system.

He didn't kill! However, they could only spend the rest of their lives in bed; which was the best punishment for them.

"Don't waste time! You all Come at me all at once. I'm not going to kill you today, but you fucking bastards must be punished!" Tang Xiu shouted fiercely as he threw the steel pipe away.

Desperately swallowing his saliva, fear appeared in Ye Wentao's eyes. Never did he imagine that Tang Xiu's martial strength would be so terrifying that his four most powerful fighters were disposed of by Tang Xiu in such a short period of time. His best fighter, Anhu, was even directly killed.

Heavens! How could he have provoked such a terrifying monster?!!!

Ye Wentao truly wanted to run away; however, he calmed down after seeing more than 20 of his men still standing. He pointed to Tang Xiu and bellowed, "FUCK HIM UP! KILL THIS ASSHOLE! I WANT HIM DEAD!"

However, the martial strength shown by Tang Xiu already made them shocked, as their legs were slightly trembling. If Ye Wentao was not here, at this moment, they might have thrown their weapons down and fled.

In their eyes, how could this youth still be human?!!! He was simply a fighting machine!!!

It must be noted that Anhu had learned martial arts since he was a child, thus his foundation was very solid. He was an expert at and Baji Quan, as well as very good at freestyle combat; yet, even this fellow was killed by him with only a move. It was simply like sending themselves to die!! Furthermore, Little Qing was a retired soldier and very strong. He became Ye Wentao's henchman after murdering some people and needing to lay low for a while; he had been concealing his identity till now. [1]

Four masters! Yet they were actually done in so easily by someone while they were ganged up on the man at the same time. How could they possibly contend against him?

Looking at the fear on their faces as they didn't immediately execute his order to besiege Tang Xiu, Ye Wentao's panicked expression turned into anger as he shouted loudly, "ARE YOU ALL FUCKING DEAF?! This Father wants you to kill him for me! I will give 10 million yuan to whoever kills him, and he will also become my right-hand man in the future!"

10 million yuan?

Vicious and fiendish as they were, their fear instantly vanished upon hearing the reward set by Ye Wentao. Many of them reacted as though injected with chicken blood as they bravely stepped forward and storm over Tang Xiu like hungry wolves. [2]

If the reward is attractive enough, there will always be those brave enough to take the risk.

These words perfectly explained this very moment.

However, no matter how hard they went, they were still like ants trying to shake a giant tree. They were simply biting off more than they could chew. Tang Xiu acted ruthlessly and heavily due to the anger inside his heart. Every man who rushed over toward him had his hand or leg broken.

In the courtyard, dozens of people curled up on the ground like dried-up shrimps, screaming and wailing. This scene chilled one's spine.

Looking at Tang Xiu standing among the crowd, Ye Wentao's complexion was one of disbelief. He looked at his miserable men. Staggering, he faltered as he looked at Tang Xiu and was speechless for a long time.

"Ye Wentao, right? There's still time. I'll wait if you want to call more people." Tang Xiu's face was cold and detached as he walked toward Ye Wentao and indifferently spoke.

Ye Wentao's mouth twitched. Prior to this, he was so arrogant when speaking to the opposite party, yet he didn't expect that he'd be forced to this extent today.

"You just wait!"

Not daring to run away, Ye Wentao took out his mobile phone and prepared to call his biggest backer.
