417: Chapter 417: Signal Fire Platform 417: Chapter 417: Signal Fire Platform The matter was quickly settled, and fortunately, it had been detected early by Tangyu, so it did not cause any impact.
Although the situation had calmed down, Chang Baosheng’s anger had not subsided: “Mr.
Tang, let me take you back first.
Today I’m going to smash Wei Yaoye’s club.
I can’t keep this frustration bottled up, it’s truly unbearable.
To take such extreme measures this time, who knows what sneaky things they might do next.
In the catering industry, the Wei Family may be the biggest player, but my Chang Family’s rise has been so rapid that it has incurred their suppression.
I could accept normal competition, but I absolutely cannot compromise with such dirty tricks.”
Tangyu nodded.
Despite his youth, Chang Baosheng showed a spirited and valiant side.
Tangyu held more respect for him.
Men should endure when it’s time to endure, but when it’s not, they must not tolerate for even a moment.
If they didn’t retaliate in some way for this, it would just show weakness.
The kind are easily bullied.
If they let this slide just like that, it would only get worse the next time.
As the sole third-generation member of the Chang Family, Chang Baosheng must bear the honor and pursuits of the family.
Therefore, when dealing with this matter, he did not retreat an inch and planned to singlehandedly smash Wei Yaoye’s club.
This courage alone showed he was a true man.
“Let’s join in on the fun,” Tangyu said.
Chang Baosheng was momentarily stunned, feeling grateful in his heart, he said, “I appreciate your kind offer, Mr.
Tang, but there’s no need.
You go and rest.
It’s just a small matter, not worth troubling you.”
“Now you’re being too polite, no need for that.
It just so happens that I also have some unfinished business with that Wei Yaoye,” Tangyu said.
“Oh, Mr.
Tang, you also have a conflict with Wei Yaoye?” Chang Baosheng was a bit surprised.
Tangyu nodded without going into details.
Since it was like that, Chang Baosheng didn’t refuse any further, and the group arrived at Signal Fire Platform.
Located in the center of Linwu County’s central plaza, it is arguably the most bustling area of Linwu County.
Signal Fire Platform is actually a large entertainment club.
Of course, it also includes a small private club.
And this Signal Fire Platform was created by Wei Yaoye himself, modeled after some private clubs in Donglin City.
Of course, operating just as a private club would be difficult to sustain in Linwu County.
Although there are some wealthy people in Linwu County, it is relatively small, and the wealthy are not plentiful.
The Signal Fire Platform is designed based on the ancient signal fire platforms, hence the name.
From the outside, it looks a bit strange, but the interior is lavish and luxurious, full of lights and colors, with all kinds of entertainment facilities available.
Coming here, one could fully indulge and feel as if they arrived in a paradise on earth.
Chang Baosheng led Tangyu and the others straight to the top deck of Signal Fire Platform, which was an extensive open-air flat area.
However, it was set up as an elegant bar called Signal Fire Bar, but people still commonly referred to it as Signal Fire Platform.
Chang Baosheng led Tangyu and four others to find a place to sit down.
Today the Signal Fire Platform was quite crowded.
However, it was relatively quiet here; people came to have a drink, and some danced on the dance floor.
With the starry sky overhead and the view of nearly all of Linwu County surrounding them, the atmosphere and scenery were truly splendid.
Of course, it would be impossible to sit here in the winter, but it was pleasant in the warm weather, and especially in autumn like now, there was a certain artistic conception.
“Hey, what’s that big cauldron in the center for?” Deng Li suddenly pointed to the highest point in the center of Signal Fire Platform.
“That’s for lighting the signal fire, just like the ancient signal platforms,” Chang Baosheng explained.
“Light the signal fire?
What’s the use?
Don’t tell me you can summon the lords from all directions here?” Deng Li said, puzzled.
Chang Baosheng chuckled, “Of course, it’s useful.
In ancient times, emperors summoned lords from all directions.
Here, lighting the signal fire can summon all the beauties of the place.
As long as they’re not with a guest, they’re all callable for your picking.”
Deng Li gaped, his face turning red, “That’s not much different from a brothel.”
“Haha, you could say that,” Chang Baosheng laughed.
Chang Baosheng stood up, patted Deng Li on the shoulder, and said, “Come on, let’s light the signal fire.
Since we’re here, we must summon the beauties of the place.”
“Ah, I—” Deng Li’s face reddened even more, but Chang Baosheng pulled him up and they headed towards the Signal Fire Platform.
Tangyu and the other two also stood up and followed.
Tangyu knew that Chang Baosheng’s intention wasn’t just to light the signal fire; he had a purpose.
As Chang Baosheng approached the Signal Fire Platform, a mature and sexy beauty came to greet them.
She was the person in charge of the Signal Fire Platform, usually responsible for receiving guests.
She was voluptuous and good-looking, appearing to have quite some charm.
“Young Master Chang, how may I assist you?” the voluptuous beauty asked warmly.
If it were any other day, Chang Baosheng might have been amiable, but today he came with a purpose and was naturally not in a good mood, he said offhandedly, “Are you blind?
What do you think I’m doing standing here?
Hurry up and prepare, I want to light the signal fire.
My brother here wants to experience lighting the signal fire today, so hurry up.
Don’t ruin the mood.”
The voluptuous beauty’s expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes as she sized up Deng Li, wondering what was going on.
Usually, Young Master Chang was friendly and down-to-earth, so why was he like this today?
“Young Master Chang, I’m not sure what has upset you.
I was a bit preoccupied just now, sorry for not noticing your arrival earlier.
Please forgive any negligence,” the voluptuous beauty handled the situation cautiously.
Chang Baosheng immediately grew angry, glaring at the voluptuous beauty, “What, do you really want to embarrass me today?
It’s rare for me to come here to have fun at the Signal Fire Platform, looking to light the signal fire with my friends, and yet you are going to spoil our fun?”
The commotion here also drew the attention of many people around.
As the top young master of the Chang Baosheng, it was natural that many people recognized him.
They all began discussing in hushed tones.
“What’s wrong with the Chang Family’s young master today?
Something about this situation seems off.”
“Yeah, I’ve seen him play here twice before, and he was always so casual.
Why is he insisting on lighting the Signal Fire today?
Doesn’t he know that the Signal Fire can only be lit once a week?
And every time, you have to apply in advance and go through some rules before the winner is chosen to light the Signal Fire.
It’s not something you can do just because you have money and power.
Even Wei Yaoye himself doesn’t light the Signal Fire casually and break the rules.”
“I think the young master Chang seems to be in a very bad mood today, I guess there will be a show to watch.”
It was only after hearing some of the surrounding discussions that Tangyu realized there was so much to this Signal Fire lighting.
No wonder Chang Baosheng wanted to light the Signal Fire—it seemed he was looking for an excuse to start a ruckus.
Without any pretext, how could he brazenly make a move, right?
“Young master Chang, it’s really not possible to light the Signal Fire.
You should know our rules here as well, today is not the time for lighting the Signal Fire.
If young master Chang is so interested, we will definitely try our best to arrange it for the next lighting,” the buxom beauty said with an apologetic face.
“Hmph, don’t play coy when given face.
What broken rules; rules are dead, people are alive.
Can a living person be suffocated by dead rules?
Next time, do you want me, the young master, to wait forever?
My brothers are interested today, and I don’t want to hear so much nonsense from you.
Hurry up and prepare for me, if you can’t make the decision, let Wei Yaoye come over and speak to me personally.
Today’s fire, I am determined to light it,” Chang Baosheng said.
“There is really no way, I hope young master Chang can understand,” the buxom beauty said.
Chang Baosheng sneered and said to his two bodyguards behind him, “She doesn’t want face when it’s given, so let’s give her some more.”
One of the bodyguards quickly stepped forward and slapped the buxom beauty twice, immediately causing her face to swell and leaving bright red finger marks on both cheeks.
The buxom beauty was angry but dared not speak, her face turning ugly as she stepped aside.
Chang Baosheng didn’t continue to make things difficult for the buxom beauty, as his goal had been achieved, and now he was just waiting for Wei Yaoye to come out.
In a luxurious private room at the Signal Fire Platform, the four young masters of Donglin gathered there, accompanied by several stunning beauties, drinking and discussing amorous encounters.
A series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.
Wei Yaoye’s eyebrows twitched; he knew that no one would dare to disturb him at this time unless it was something very important.
The urgency of the knocking meant it must be a serious matter.
“Come in,” Wei Yaoye commanded.
The door opened, and a man dressed in black walked in, without any hesitation he directly said, “Yaoye, I don’t know what got into young master Chang today, but he insists on lighting the Signal Fire.
He even had someone hit Chunniang, and now he’s refusing to leave the Signal Fire Platform, demanding that Yaoye himself provide an explanation.”
Wei Yaoye’s usually calm face suddenly showed a hint of anger, and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.
He put down his wine glass with a cold snort, “This Chang Baosheng, he must have eaten the gall of a bear and a leopard to dare to cause trouble at my Signal Fire Platform.”
“That Chang Baosheng from the Chang Family, this wet-behind-the-ears kid, when did he change his nature?
I’ve always seen him quite proper; it’s interesting that he dares to come and smash Yaoye’s place today.
Young people are indeed impulsive,” Ma Tian scoffed with disdain.
As the four young masters of Linwu, they’d never taken anyone else seriously.
Naturally, they simply ignored Chang Baosheng, not seeing him as someone on their level at all.
To put it simply, Chang Baosheng was still too green.
“I don’t have the time, take some people over to deal with it, no need to be too polite, just don’t lay a hand on him.
If his people start anything, don’t hold back,” Wei Yaoye ordered.
The man nodded and then left.
“Hmph, truly ignorant of life and death.
I’m in a bad mood, and he actually comes here to provoke me,” Wei Yaoye coldly snorted.
“Come on Yaoye, forget about those little annoyances and drink.
This trip out was annoying enough, let’s not let it ruin our mood here and dampen our brothers’ spirits,” Fei Yangzhi picked up his glass and proposed.
“Right, this is our turf, our kingdom; in our kingdom, there should be no annoyance.
Cheers,” Wei Yaoye said with a smile.
Chang Baosheng and Tangyu waited for a while but didn’t get Wei Yaoye to come out.
Instead, a group of tall and sturdy men in identical black suits approached.
Clearly, they were the bodyguards of the Signal Fire Platform, numbering over ten.
The one leading them was wearing a white tank top with well-developed arms and legs, rugged looks, and a fierce demeanor, reminiscent of an assassin.
