"Are you Hu Qiang's boss?"
Despite being surrounded, Du Fei acted as if no one was there.
After all, no matter how many ants there were, they were nothing to lions and tigers.
Du Fei's previous act of sending their comrade flying had been too shocking, and everyone regarded him with extreme caution.
Chen Xinzhu said in a deep voice, "I am Hu Qiang's boss. Young brother, you've come to my territory to cause trouble. Do you not have me, Chen Xinzhu, in your eyes?"
If Du Fei hadn't displayed his astonishing skills just now, Chen Xinzhu would have already given the order to have him beaten half to death by his subordinates.
However, after Du Fei showed his incredible combat power, Chen Xinzhu naturally wouldn't act rashly.
In his opinion, such a young master like Du Fei either had a powerful background or came from a prominent family. There was no need to make an enemy of such a person.
Even so, Du Fei barging into his territory so boldly required an explanation.
Otherwise, everyone would look down on him in the future.
In the martial world, reputation was sometimes part of one's strength, and Chen Xinzhu naturally had to protect his own reputation.
"I don't intend to cause trouble, but I'm here to tell you that from now on, you and your subordinates are forbidden from stepping into Jianghua Street to bully the weak and oppress the good. Also, hand over the demolition agreement that Hu Qiang had Xu Guihua sign earlier."
Du Fei slowly stated his purpose for coming.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinzhu's face immediately turned cold. "Heh, young brother, with your words, you don't have me, Chen Xinzhu, in your eyes at all. Do you think I'm a soft persimmon that you can just pinch as you please?"
Chen Xinzhu was forty-three years old and had been involved in society for nearly twenty years.
In fact, Chen Xinzhu had originally been an ordinary street vendor with modest family circumstances, making a living selling fish at the market.
However, he was frequently extorted by a group of thugs who collected protection money at the market.
Finally, one day, Chen Xinzhu was pushed to his limit. He grabbed the sharp knife from the fish-cutting board and stabbed one of the thugs. The rest of the thugs were stunned on the spot.
It was from that day on that Chen Xinzhu suddenly realized that thugs were also people, and they too could be afraid. It was just that he had overestimated them before; these people were not that formidable after all.
Not long after, Chen Xinzhu gathered a group of people from the market and officially started his life in organized crime.
In just a few years, Chen Xinzhu, relying on his daring and decisive actions, made a name for himself starting from the market.
Initially, Chen Xinzhu's idea was simply for everyone to unite and no longer be bullied.
But as his subordinates grew in number, Chen Xinzhu could no longer restrain them all and make them adhere to his original principle of not bullying the weak.
Later, Chen Xinzhu gradually became like the people who had bullied him before, acting arrogantly everywhere, collecting protection money, and turning into the very people he despised the most.
Yet, Chen Xinzhu always acted like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. Deep down, he felt that he was fundamentally different from those people.
But everything he had now was obtained through illegal means. Take the demolition of Jianghua Street this time, for example. He was willingly serving as a pawn for the real estate developers, all for the sake of earning a large sum of money.
"I'm not interested in manipulating others, but if you don't do as I say, I don't mind teaching you people a lesson on how to behave."
After speaking, Du Fei surveyed everyone present.
Chen Xinzhu's eyes narrowed gradually, and then he shouted, "Grab your weapons and attack him together!"
At his command, the people who had surrounded Du Fei all brandished their weapons and swung them at him.
Bang, bang, bang.
However, these people were all sent flying at the same time.
This was followed by a clatter as the knives and clubs in their hands fell to the ground.
Chen Xinzhu and Hu Qiang, who had not joined the fray, stared at Du Fei in disbelief.
A large group of people ganged up on Du Fei, all armed, yet they couldn't even last thirty seconds under Du Fei's hands before being sent flying one by one. This guy Du Fei was too terrifying!
As the two were still in shock, Du Fei had already walked towards them.
"I've already made myself perfectly clear. Don't make me say it a second time."
Du Fei naturally had no pleasantries for a social figure like Chen Xinzhu.
Chen Xinzhu couldn't help but swallow, then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're skilled. I, Chen Xinzhu, have been in this business for so many years. If you have the guts, then..."
Chen Xinzhu couldn't finish his sentence. When he met Du Fei's cold, sharp gaze, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Du Fei's icy stare was like the arrival of death itself.
"A Qiang, give him the demolition agreement."
In the end, Chen Xinzhu relented. He said to Hu Qiang beside him.
Hu Qiang was no match for Chen Xinzhu. The moment Du Fei sent the attackers flying, he had already been completely subdued.
Hearing Chen Xinzhu's command, he quickly handed over the demolition agreement, fearing that any delay would attract Du Fei's attention.
Having obtained what he wanted, Du Fei glanced at Chen Xinzhu and the other man again before turning to leave.
Only after Du Fei had completely left did Chen Xinzhu dare to take deep breaths, his back completely soaked with sweat.
...
"Uncle Meng, do you think Doctor Du can really help Guihua get the demolition agreement back?"
In Xu Guihua's yard, a group of people sat chatting.
They were all neighbors from the vicinity, occasionally visiting each other.
Ever since the incident at Xu Guihua's home, everyone had brought over some items.
Xu Guihua had initially refused to accept anything, but the neighbors insisted it was to help Xiao Ming recover, and it was their heartfelt gesture.
Hearing this, Xu Guihua, with reddened eyes, accepted their gifts.
She knew they wanted to help her, and Xu Guihua secretly vowed to repay their kindness if she ever had the chance.
While Xu Guihua went inside to put the items away, the others inquired about the previous events.
Du Fei had assured everyone that he would handle the matter. Then, someone asked if Du Fei could also retrieve the demolition agreement that Xu Guihua had signed from Hu Qiang.
After hearing this, Du Fei said it was no problem.
However, in everyone's minds, while Doctor Du's medical skills were indeed impressive, and he did possess some combat abilities, Hu Qiang and his associates were numerous. Du Fei was only one person. If he went to confront them so easily, he was bound to suffer.
"I believe Doctor Du doesn't speak without reason. Since he promised, he can definitely help Guihua!"
The middle-aged man addressed as Uncle Meng, despite his own doubts, spoke in support of Du Fei.
