"Brother Niu, it's that good-for-nothing!"
"He's got a bit of skill, and not only beat me, but he didn't even respect Brother Niu. He even bragged that if Brother Niu came, he'd deal with both of us together!"
Liu Changxin deliberately slandered Lu Yang in front of Huang Hei Niu.
"What? Such arrogance!"
"It's been many years since anyone dared to speak to me like that. I'd love to meet whoever is so desperate for death to bark so wildly!"
As Huang Hei Niu spoke, he walked directly into the Tang family villa.
The moment the Tang family saw Huang Hei Niu, they all held their breath, completely intimidated by his aura and daring not to breathe.
"This uncle looks so fierce!"
Tang Shimin, looking at Huang Hei Niu as he entered, immediately hid behind Lu Yang and said cautiously.
"Shimin, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Lu Yang gently patted Tang Shimin's head and said with a smile.
At this moment, Lu Yang remained calm and composed, not taking Huang Hei Niu seriously at all. This was because Lu Yang and Huang Hei Niu had already met during the meal at the Guoxing Hotel a couple of days prior.
"Hmph, still putting on a show at a time like this. After today, I'm afraid there won't be any good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law like you left in Jiangbei City!"
Tang Zixuan said coldly with disdain.
Tang Zixuan was well aware of Huang Hei Niu's background. Most people only knew that Huang Hei Niu was the boss of the underworld, but few knew that he was also the owner of the Guoxing Hotel, essentially controlling both the legitimate and illegitimate worlds.
Liu Changxin had also happened to get acquainted with Huang Hei Niu and annually spent ten million yuan at his establishment, constantly bringing him business. Liu Changxin was essentially Huang Hei Niu's subordinate. When his subordinate was bullied, Huang Hei Niu naturally wouldn't stand by and watch; he had to stand up for him.
Because Liu Changxin had managed to curry favor with Huang Hei Niu, his standing in Jiangbei City had risen significantly, and no one dared to provoke him.
Now, he had been beaten twice in one day by a nobody like Lu Yang. How could he swallow such an insult? With Huang Hei Niu showing up, this matter would be difficult to resolve.
"Lu Yang, why don't you go and apologize to Brother Niu and Young Master Liu? It's better to live a dog's life than to die a dog's death!"
Tang Mingde, finally showing a bit of conscience, tugged Lu Yang's clothes and said softly.
"Apologize? The word 'apologize' isn't in my vocabulary!"
Lu Yang sneered, completely disregarding Tang Mingde's words.
However, Tang Mingde's gesture warmed Lu Yang's heart. It seemed that not all the Tang family members were irredeemably wicked; at least his father-in-law, with whom he had lived for three years, still harbored a trace of goodwill.
"Such big talk! Let me see which son of a bitch has lived too long, I'll send him on his way right now!"
Huang Hei Niu threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth. With his vision no longer obscured by smoke, he saw the person standing in front of him clearly. When that familiar face met his eyes, Huang Hei Niu first froze, then his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You... the person you want me to deal with, it's him?"
Huang Hei Niu asked in an almost trembling voice. How he wished Liu Changxin had made a mistake.
"That's right, it's this good-for-nothing. Brother Niu, cripple him for me and vent my anger!"
Liu Changxin, completely oblivious to the change in Huang Hei Niu's expression, shouted loudly, as if he could control Lu Yang's life at this very moment.
The rest of the Tang family members were exultant. They had waited for this day for a long time, and it had finally arrived.
"Are you absolutely sure the person you want beaten is... is him?"
Huang Hei Niu's face had turned a deathly pale, a grimace that looked uglier than crying.
If he were to cripple the newly appointed chairman of the Haitong Group, he might as well be asking for death!
"Brother Niu, just go all out and deal with him. I'll take responsibility for any consequences!"
Liu Changxin said confidently. Even if Lu Yang were killed, the Tang family wouldn't bother him; they would easily brush it off with some excuse. After all, in their eyes now, he was a deity that they had to revere at all times.
The future prosperity of the Tang family depended on him, Liu Changxin.
Of course, this was all part of the deception Liu Changxin and Tang Zixuan had orchestrated against the Tang family.
Seeing Huang Hei Niu hesitating, Liu Changxin became impatient. He reached out to slap Lu Yang's face, confident that with a big shot like Huang Hei Niu around, Lu Yang would definitely not dare to fight back.
However, before his hand could touch Lu Yang's face, a powerful hand grabbed Liu Changxin by the back of his neck and suddenly exerted force, slamming Liu Changxin onto the ground, his face making intimate contact with the floor.
This powerful hand belonged to Huang Hei Niu. After pinning Liu Changxin to the ground, Huang Hei Niu didn't stop, but began to stomp violently on Liu Changxin, each stomp powerful and resonant.
"Ah..."
"Brother Niu, the person you wanted to beat was Lu Yang, that good-for-nothing, why are you..."
Before Liu Changxin could finish speaking, Huang Hei Niu stomped on his head again.
"You goddamn idiot, don't drag me down with you!"
"Beat this imbecile to death!"
When Huang Hei Niu grew tired of stomping, he immediately beckoned to his subordinates behind him.
The subordinates behind him were a little bewildered, but since their boss had given the order, they naturally complied. Several people surrounded Liu Changxin and began stomping on him mercilessly.
The Tang family members who were watching the spectacle, their faces beaming with smiles moments ago, could no longer maintain them. Their smiles turned into expressions of shock, fear, and disbelief...
"Ah..."
"He's being beaten, Brother Niu, please, don't hit him anymore!"
Liu Changxin writhed on the ground, constantly wailing and begging for mercy, but Huang Hei Niu completely ignored him, showing no intention of stopping.
"Brother Niu, please..."
Tang Yuan, seeing this, suppressed his inner shock and fear and looked cautiously at Huang Hei Niu. If this continued, someone would truly get killed.
"If anyone dares to meddle further, I'll deal with them too!"
Huang Hei Niu glanced at Tang Yuan and roared coldly.
Tang Yuan was instantly so frightened that he didn't dare to utter another word.
The rest of the Tang family buried their heads deep in fear, like a flock of quails.
After beating Liu Changxin for a full five minutes, and seeing that he was on the verge of death, Huang Hei Niu finally stopped. He then respectfully turned to Lu Yang and bowed ninety degrees.
"Ch-Chairman Lu, this brat was blind and offended you. Don't worry, I'll definitely kill this brat and vent your anger!"
After speaking, Huang Hei Niu remained bent over. Without hearing Lu Yang's voice, he dared not straighten up. His forehead was already covered in dense cold sweat.
The entire Tang family was even more shocked to the extreme, unable to comprehend why Huang Hei Niu was showing such respect to a worthless live-in son-in-law of the Tang family. Did this good-for-nothing have some incredibly powerful background?
