Urban Martial Saint

Seeing Li Lianshan also taking a seat here, Yue Gaoyang’s expression soured, and Shangguan Qing let out a cold snort. Their dissatisfaction was now very obvious.

To the two of them, Li Lianshan was no different than some street thug and, in their eyes, had no place sitting at the same table with them. But now, Ye Qing had insisted on making Li Lianshan sit there, naturally, both were quite displeased. However, out of respect for Ye Qing, they held back their comments.

Li Lianshan’s face was full of embarrassment, knowing his own standing, and that he truly didn’t deserve to be sitting there.

”Let me introduce,” Ye Qing, ignoring their attitudes, pointed to Li Lianshan and said, ”This is Boss Li, Li Lianshan, my brother. There’s something about me; if I’m sitting down, I won’t let my brothers stand, no matter who is sitting beside me!”

As he spoke, Ye Qing gave Yue Gaoyang and Shangguan Qing a cold glance. Yue Gaoyang’s face darkened, and he opened his mouth to say something but then shut it.

”With that logic, I have quite a few brothers too, shall I call all of them over to take a seat?” Shangguan Qing turned and pointed to his car, saying, ”There are over a dozen of my brothers over there. Mr. Ye, do you think you’ve prepared enough seats?”

Ye Qing looked at Shangguan Qing and replied coldly, ”If there aren’t enough seats, we can make arrangements. If they can’t sit, they can lie down!”

Shangguan Qing’s expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, ”What do you mean?”

”My meaning is quite simple. If they feel uncomfortable standing, they can lie down,” Ye Qing answered coldly.

”Mr. Ye, I know you’re somewhat capable and good at fighting. But don’t get too arrogant,” Shangguan Qing said, eyeing Ye Qing coldly. ”This is Shenchuan City; however strong you are on your own, can you really fight against a gang? If it really comes to a fight, our Tianqing Gang is not afraid of you!”

Yue Gaoyang watched with delight from the sidelines; he wanted to see Ye Qing and Shangguan Qing clash first, so he could benefit from their dispute. If he could stir up a battle between Ye Qing and the Tianqing Gang, that would be even better. Regardless of who would come out on top between the Tianqing Gang and Ye Qing, it would be a good thing for the Fu Bang.

”So you’re saying, Mr. Shangguan, you’re not intending to talk?” Ye Qing shrugged and said, ”If that’s the case, then let’s talk another day.”

Shangguan Qing’s expression turned icy, and after clenching his teeth, he said, ”Mr. Ye, we’re not children to make a fuss over a trivial matter, isn’t it embarrassing to let this get out? I’m just warning you, the Tianqing Gang is not easy to provoke. It’s better to finish the discussion about the matter at hand, so Captain Zhao doesn’t say we aren’t giving him face again!”

Shangguan Qing had come to talk with Ye Qing tonight mainly because of Zhao Chengshuang, who had personally extended the invitation. Zhao Chengshuang was an absolute star in the Shenchuan City police circles nowadays, so naturally, all parties had to show him enough respect, which is why Shangguan Tian sent Shangguan Qing to talk with Ye Qing.

Yue Gaoyang interjected with a feigned smile, ”Exactly, exactly. Mr. Ye, Second Gang Leader, why ruin the relationship over a small matter? Boss Li is Mr. Ye’s brother; we should give him some face!”

Ye Qing and Shangguan Qing locked eyes, then slowly sat down, and Ye Qing continued, ”Since the Second Gang Leader has said we should come to a result, let’s talk it out properly. You both must be aware that the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena has recently been renamed and no longer belongs to the Fierce Tiger Gang but is now a joint property of me and Li.

In these past few days, Li and I have been considering reopening the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena, and by inviting you here, we mainly wanted to ask for a favor: please withdraw your people from the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena. From now on, Li and I will manage the order there together!”

Shangguan Qing and Yue Gaoyang looked at each other, then both smiled simultaneously.

”Mr. Ye, my big brother said that starting a business in Shenchuan City is not easy,” Shangguan Qing looked at Ye Qing and said, ”Since you’re a friend of Captain Zhao, our Tianqing Gang should certainly support you.

Those five venues in Shenchuan City, we’ve decided to return them all to you!” He continued with a stipulation, ”However, on the condition that you give up the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena!”

”Mr. Ye, what the Second Gang Leader said is what I wanted to say too,” Yue Gaoyang added with a smile. ”The Fu Bang has already returned those venues to you, but as for the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena, my big brother said that it’s not good to be too greedy. It’s not worth it to lose what you’ve already obtained over something you can’t swallow!”

Li Lianshan frowned, as their words clearly showed their intentions to take over the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena. If they didn’t back out, there was no way for Ye Qing and Li Lianshan to get the arena up and running again.

Ye Qing’s face remained calm, asking, ”So, both the Fu Bang and Tianqing Gang are not ready to give up the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena?”

”Mr. Ye, as far as I know, you own less than half of the shares in the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena, and currently, the power over it is in Boss Li’s hands,” Yue Gaoyang said, looking at Li Lianshan with a smile. ”This kind of matter should be discussed with the head of the household. Since Boss Li is the owner of the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena, we should naturally talk with him!”

”That’s right, that’s right,” Shangguan Qing laughed, looking at Li Lianshan obliquely. ”Boss Li, when do you have time to sit down with our Tianqing Gang? My big brother is very interested in the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena. If you’d like, name your price, and we’re willing to buy it out.”

”And it’s the same with our Fu Bang,” Yue Gaoyang continued with a smile. ”Boss Li, if you don’t have the time, we can totally come to you to discuss.”

Li Lianshan’s expression changed drastically; the two men were treating him as a pushover and targeting him, intending to bully him. But, unfortunately for Li Lianshan, he was not a match for them, lacking the strength to compete or resist.

Ye Qing said, ”Li, about the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena, after all, I still own some shares. If you trust me, why don’t you let me handle this matter on your behalf? How about that?”

”Mr. Ye, what you’re doing seems a bit off,” Yue Gaoyang said without waiting for Li Lianshan to speak, going straight to the point, ”Following your logic, why don’t I also find someone to manage the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena on our behalf and let them come to talk to you, how about that?”

Shangguan Qing laughed, ”That’s right. There’s a small grocery store owner downstairs from us, really clever in business. How about I ask him to represent me in the talks? He definitely won’t let me lose out!”

Yue Gaoyang burst into laughter, ”Hahaha, the Second Gang Leader is really thorough. Second Gang Leader, could you also have that grocery store owner represent us so we don’t get the short end of the stick?”

The two laughed so hard that they were bending forward and backward, clearly mocking Ye Qing and Li Lianshan. Li Lianshan trembled with rage, and suddenly, he slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, ”Want to talk, do you? Fine, then I’ll talk to you myself!”

Although Li Lianshan wasn’t as powerful as these two, he was still a man who couldn’t stand this kind of humiliation!

The outburst from Li Lianshan took Shangguan Qing and Yue Gaoyang by surprise, causing both to frown and look at him together.

”Boss Li, if you want to talk, then speak properly,” Yue Gaoyang said with a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes, ”But I advise you to think it over before you speak. Otherwise, it might upset our big brother!”

”My big brother has always had a bad temper. He doesn’t want me to bring back news he doesn’t like,” Shangguan Qing also threatened coldly.

”Happy or not, what do I care!” Li Lianshan glared and said, ”What I have to say is simple, the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena is mine, Li Lianshan, and my brother Ye Qing’s place. From now on, whoever wants to cause trouble here or has their eye on this place, I’ll fucking break their doglegs. No matter who they are!”

Li Lianshan was really furious, which is why he disregarded everything and spoke so brazenly, leaving no face for the Fu Bang and Tianqing Gang.

Shangguan Qing and Yue Gaoyang were both stunned; neither had expected Li Lianshan to speak such bold words. Whereas Ye Qing stood up, slammed the table, and said, ”Li, well said, I support you unconditionally, brother!”

As he spoke, Ye Qing turned his head and called out loudly, ”Mad Dog, make a call to Xiong Zi, tell him to start working!”

Ye Qing had only brought Mad Dog with him into the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena, and Black Bear’s people had not come in. Mad Dog had no idea what Black Bear was up to, but upon hearing the order, he still made the call.

Shangguan Qing glared at Li Lianshan and said through clenched teeth, ”Li, have the guts to repeat what you just said!”

Li Lianshan responded unflinchingly, ”I said, whoever fucking wants to cause trouble on my turf, or has their eye on it, I’ll break their doglegs!”

”Break someone else’s dog legs?” Shangguan Qing said coldly, ”Li Lianshan, you better remember this, you’re going to pay for these words!”

”Our big brother definitely won’t like hearing this,” Yue Gaoyang clicked his tongue and shook his head, ”Boss Li, all these years, not many have dared to anger our big brother. You’ve really got some nerve!”

Li Lianshan stood proudly, his heart filled with trepidation, but at this point, he had no reason to turn back.

Ye Qing, with a cold look, addressed Yue Gaoyang, ”If you don’t like hearing it then block your ears, continuing to listen even when you don’t like it, isn’t that just asking for trouble?”

”You...” Yue Gaoyang’s face changed dramatically, Ye Qing was giving Li Wenyuan no face at all, and even he was starting to lose his patience.

”Mr. Shangguan,” Ye Qing shouted angrily, ”It’s between us and Li Lianshan right now, you keep out of it!”

”Are you deaf?” Ye Qing said coldly, ”Didn’t you hear me just now? Li is my brother. I won’t sit and make my brother stand. How can I not get involved when my brother has trouble?”

Shangguan Qing, with a frosty expression, said, ”So, you’re determined to make an enemy out of our Tianqing Gang?”

Ye Qing smiled faintly, about to speak, when suddenly, two large trucks drove into the dog arena entrance.

Everyone turned to look. A man built like a tower stepped down from the front truck, it was Black Bear. He waved at Ye Qing from afar, calling out, ”Captain, everything’s taken care of!”

As he spoke, Black Bear gestured towards the two trucks. Both trucks immediately started lifting their rear sections. As they lifted halfway, a pile of people fell out with a clatter inside the truck bed, piling up into two heaps on the ground.
