Overbearing

Welcome to "I've Been Trapped in the Same Post for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network. Narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.

Li Ruoming sensed something was wrong. Zhuang Xiaodie had called him earlier, shortly after Wu Chen got out of the car and went into the alley alone. Zhuang Xiaodie heard some noises: a woman shouting for help, "Save my boyfriend!", some people yelling "Mind your own business!", and some profanities.

From the shouts, Zhuang Xiaodie could tell that Wu Chen had gone to help, but the other side had a lot of people, and the screams that followed the fight really frightened him.

Wu Chen told him to stay in the car. He knew that going down would only cause trouble and wouldn't do anything positive, so he was still very obedient. But he was really scared and worried that something might happen to Wu Chen. He had no choice. He didn't know anyone in the East Sea, so he called Li Ruobing for help. Li Ruobing's reaction surprised him.

After hearing Zhuang Xiaodie recount how Wu Chen bravely intervened and even got into a fight, Li Ruobin's reaction was simply, "Oh, it's nothing."

Because Zhuang Xiaodie seemed very scared and uneasy, Li Ruobing comforted her a few times. Li Ruobing knew how cunning and capable Zhuang Xiaodie Wu Chen was; he was no human being. Unless it was something specifically arranged for Wu Chen, there was nothing to worry about.

The chance encounter with the hero was obviously not directed at Wu Chen, so Li Ruobing wasn't worried at all.

Li Ruobing reassured Zhuang Xiaodie, saying it was alright and not to worry.

He said a few more words and then hung up.

This was Zhuang Xiaodie's first phone call with Li Ruobing in the car, and this is the second time Li Ruobing has taken the initiative to call.

Li Ruobing felt that the group of people who answered her question, who were full of foul language, were probably small-time thugs.

It should be over by now, since it's almost 10:30 p. m. Li Ruobing just wanted to ask if it was over and when she would get home, but Zhuang Xiaodie said it wasn't over yet, and a group of people had come and made a scene.

Who is this person?

Have you driven yet?

How many people?

Li Ruobing thought for a moment and asked, "They're driving Mercedes-Benz and other luxury cars. There are more than a dozen people in them. One of them is a middle-aged man who looks like the boss. He's using a cane and limping. It seems Mr. Wu knows him. He got out of the car and shouted something about a misunderstanding, as if he wanted to explain something to Mr. Wu."

Zhuang Xiaodi looked outside and said into her phone, "Ah, it's Zhao Guai."

Li Ruobing was immediately relieved.

That's alright, we're all losing anyway.

Oops!

Zhuang Xiaodi suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Li Ruobin asked a question.

Mr. Wu kicked down that crutch.

Oh no, they pulled out guns! Guns!

Zhuang Xiaodie was genuinely frightened, and Li Ruobing was also startled. Wu Chen kicked Zhao Guai to the ground, and they pulled out their guns.

Li Ruobing could hear that Zhuang Xiaodie's breathing was erratic and extremely rapid.

Then what?

Li Ruobing hurriedly asked again, "Are you alright? It's all over. That kidnapper... he was swearing. He told you to put the gun down."

Li Ruobin breathed a sigh of relief, then thought for a moment and said, "Send me the location of your phone."

Li Ruobing is coming to check on the situation.

At that moment, he wasn't thinking about what would happen to Wu Chen; Wu Chen couldn't possibly be in any danger because the other party was a kidnapper.

But Wuzhen actually attacked Zhao Guai, which was something Li Ruobing didn't expect; it was too unexpected.

This even goes against Wu Chen's personality.

Wu Chen doesn't hit people who are smiling, unless someone attacks him.

He has always been extremely calm in his work style, and using others' strengths against him and applying psychological pressure are his common methods. He rarely resorts to violence.

Zhao Guai arrived later, so he was clearly not a participant in the radiation event; it could only be said that he had a connection to it.

After he got out of the car, he said it was a misunderstanding and tried to explain, but Wu Chen kicked him away. This was very strange.

Li Ruobing didn't know exactly what had happened, but he could tell it was serious. It wasn't that he was worried about what would happen to Zhao Guai; he didn't dare to.

The only person Li Ruobin could think of was Wu Chenyu's younger brother, Li Ruotai.

Even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner. Besides, Zhao Guai was not Li Ruotai's prime minister in the conventional sense. Before Li Ruotai came to the East Sea, he was already one of the big shots in the East Sea.

If someone like that really offends Wu Chen, an apology won't solve the problem. His younger brother, Li Ruotai, will also know about it and will naturally handle it.

Li Ruotai said that the punishment for the kidnapper was not a problem.

Wu Chen's actions in this matter are problematic; the nature of the issue is different.

There are two key points: first, Zhao Guai was not a participant in the incident and did not provoke Wu Chen; second, Li Ruotai's relationship with the East Sea Coast is very complicated.

Li Ruotai has been operating in the East Sea for so many years, and he has managed to keep the people in the underworld under his thumb. This is not just because of his powerful family background. It is also because of his authority and ability. There are many things involved in how he manages his subordinates and how he wins their respect. If Wu Chen beats Zhao Guai today, it will cause a sensation in the East Sea's underworld tomorrow.

This matter is troublesome no matter how Li Ruotai handles it. He is biased towards Wu Chen, and the people in the underworld might say something about him. It's hard to say whether he can still command respect in the future.

He'd side with Zhao Guai; he couldn't possibly side with Zhao Guai. Whatever he thought in his heart, outwardly he'd definitely side with his family.

Actually, Li Ruobing wasn't worried about anything else, but she was afraid that this matter would create a rift between her husband, Wuchen, and her younger brother, Li Ruotai. What would she do then?

Li Ruobing felt she had to go there herself to see what was going on.

Oh, Mr. Wu, you've misunderstood!

Oh dear, what a mess! Look at this, I've had to hobble down the main road with my cane and come to Wu Chen Chenjin. He looked apologetic and was very humble.

Wu Chen glanced at him, then suddenly lifted her leg.

That's too fast!

Zhao Guai already had difficulty walking and couldn't react in time.

Wu Chen kicked him squarely in the stomach. Zhao Guai was thrown backward and stumbled to the side of the road, his crutch flying off his feet.

Big brother!

The eldest brother exclaimed in surprise. Those who came with Zhao Kuaizi were naturally his confidants and his most capable fighters, and they were all stunned.

He suddenly couldn't believe it.

After the exclamations, two of the relatives of the kidnapper pulled out guns from their clothes. They couldn't just stand by and watch their boss get beaten. In the East Sea, apart from Li Ruotai, they would dare to fight back if anyone else dared to suddenly hit their boss in front of them.

And if Zhao Guai and Li Ruotai were to fall out in the future, they would definitely follow Zhao Guai. They had been with Zhao Guai so many years, and they had always relied on him for their livelihood. Zhao Guai was their elder brother.

Zhao Guai, who had been kicked to the ground, was also completely bewildered and incredulous. He had never had any prior contact with Wu Chen, so he had no idea that Young Master Li's brother-in-law was so domineering and arrogant.

His lowest-ranking henchman offended Wu Chen, and he rushed over to apologize and explain, but Wu Chen actually kicked him.

At that moment, Zhao Guai was extremely angry, but he didn't show it. When he noticed that one of his men had drawn a gun, he turned around and yelled, "What are you doing?"

I'll go put it away!

When Zhao Guai shouted at him, Wu Chen took two steps toward him.

The eldest brother forbade them to intervene, leaving Zhao Guai and his men bewildered and at a loss. They exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. Were they just supposed to watch Wu Chen beat them up?

Brother, he used his crutch to support himself on the ground and sat up a little. He was already disabled, and now he was covered in dust and footprints, looking rather pitiful.

Wu Chen walked up to Zhao Guai and squatted down.

Mr. Wu, it's truly a misunderstanding.

Zhao Guai forced a smile, wanting to explain to Wu Chen, though he was inwardly furious, he maintained a humble demeanor on the surface.

He had made up his mind. Unless Wu Chen wanted him dead, he would endure being beaten today, and he would deal with the consequences later.

After squatting down, Wu Chen suddenly made another move, his actions were very rough. He first slapped Zhao Guai on the side of his head, then hooked his head out and pulled it, leaning his body slightly forward, his head intersecting with Zhao Guai's, as if to warn Zhao Guai about something.

The streets were noisy, with distant horns blaring. Wu Chen lowered his voice, and Zhao Kai whispered something in his ear. No one around could hear what Wu Chen was saying; they could only see Zhao Kai's expression change repeatedly. The two men under your command, the man from the Tang Family of Magic City, and the woman from the Jiuhe and Guo Family, were both third-generation direct descendants. Fortunately, their injuries weren't serious. However, if things were really investigated, the fault lay with your subordinates, and it wouldn't be easy for Atai to protect you.

Zhao Kaizi thought Wu Chen was going to say something harsh to him. Wu Chen's posture was fierce, but when Wu Chen spoke, he spoke in a low voice and his tone felt like that of an acquaintance.

That's not the point. The point is what Wu Chen said about Magic City Tang Family, the Jiuhe, and the Guo Family.

Zhao Guaizi knew that Magic City and East Sea were close to each other. Ordinary people might not know what these two families were all about, but someone as knowledgeable as Zhao Guai naturally knew that the Tang Family was even more powerful. They were one of the top families in Magic City, and their influence was on par with the Li Family.

Although Zhao Guai didn't understand the specifics of the two families' internal affairs, nor did he know who Tang Xinbao was or how to contact him, Wu Chen had mentioned that Tang Xinbao was a third-generation direct descendant. Therefore, Zhao Guai could imagine the consequences of his underlings hitting Tang Heart Method —the consequences would be similar to those of hitting Li Ruotai. This instilled fear in Zhao Guai. Tang Xinbao was inside, watching. How was he supposed to behave? Wu Chen and Zhao Guai's expression constantly changed. After Wu Chen finished speaking, he straightened up, raised the hand that was hooking behind Zhao Guai's head, and patted Zhao Guaizi's cheek twice—not too hard, not too soft—a highly insulting gesture. Did he know what he did wrong?

Wu Chen patted him twice and asked if Zhao Guai spoke in a normal voice.

As he said this, Wu Chen gave Zhao Guai a look that indicated he understood, "Mr. Wu."

Zhao Guai asked in a flustered tone, "Do you feel aggrieved?"

Are you angry?

Is it true that revenge is never too late, even after ten years?

No, not at all!

Because Zhao Guai already understood why Wu Chen suddenly kicked him, and why his fierce posture made it seem like he was both hitting and warning him—it was also to save his life!

This is all an act, a ruse to impress the two people in the alley!

So, even though Zhao Guai was kicked and slapped in the face by Wu Chen, he was not only not annoyed or angry, but even grateful to Wu Chen for saving his life!

Not just kick him, but save his life!

Wu Chen happened to be passing by earlier and, out of curiosity, bravely rescued Tang Xinbao and Guo Qiqi. This act itself saved the life of the kidnapper. If Wu Chen hadn't appeared today, Tang Xinbao might have been seriously injured and hospitalized, possibly even suffering a disability. The severity of the situation would have been an irreversible disaster. Could Zhao Gui possibly imagine what would have happened if it had come to that?

Li Ruotai might not even protect him, and this matter won't be traced back to Li Ruotai. Li Ruotai himself isn't involved in the underworld; he doesn't participate in underworld affairs. But Zhao Guaizi, along with a large group of his men, are from the underworld; they're not clean, and they've done too many dirty things. The ones who beat him were his underlings. If this blows up, who knows how many will go to jail, and how many will die in jail, including Zhao Guai himself. This isn't something that can be resolved by simply punishing his underlings, nor can it be settled with money.

Fortunately, Wu Chen happened to be passing by and intervened, so the situation wasn't so bad and there was still room for improvement.

Zhao Guai was so grateful to Wu Chen, he felt like he was being blessed.

This is a very interesting story. Wu Chen saved Tang Xinbao and Guo Qiqi, and Tang Xinbao and Guo Qiqi regarded Wu Chen as their savior. Wu Chen was the Zhao Guai's people, and he also beat up Zhao Guai. Zhao Guai also regarded Wu Chen as his savior and was extremely grateful to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen turned and walked into the alley, while Zhao Guai tried to stand up. He was disabled and couldn't get up immediately, so his relatives rushed forward to help him up and picked up his crutch and handed it to him.

Just then, the roar of engines filled the air, and another convoy of three cars appeared on the street; more people were coming.

The convoy stopped near the alley entrance, and seven or eight people, around 50 years old, got out of the three cars. They were dressed in very formal black suits, were tall, slightly overweight, and had hooked noses.

His name is Qiao Chenghu, the owner of the East Sea Chenghao Hotel Group. His businesses include hotels, investments, and real estate. He is also a major shareholder in several bathhouses and KTVs in the East Sea, and has a net worth of several hundred million yuan.

The punk-haired rich kid who came to gamble and beat people up Qiao Yang, Qiao Chenghu was Qiao Yang's father.

The reason why Qiao Yang was able to be so familiar with the gangsters and arrange for people to come at any time was because Qiao Chenghu and Zhao Guai had a close relationship. Zhao Guai had shares in many of Qiao Chenghu's businesses. The two were not only friends, but also business partners and brothers.

Wu Chen paused slightly, glanced at Qiao Shenghu who had just gotten out of the car, but didn't look at him for long before putting away the wooden pot and entering the alley.

Zhao Guai was about to go in with Wu Chen, but when he saw Qiao Chenghu arrive, he glanced at him and hurriedly limped over.

"Old Xiao, "Zhao Guai shouted again, "I'm going to pull Qiao Chenghu to the side of the road and quickly explain the situation."

The assailants were Zhao Guai's men, and the one who called for help was Qiao Chenghu's son. If this matter isn't handled properly, both Zhao Guai Qiao Chenghu will be finished; neither of them can escape.

In the alley, Guo Qiqi helped Tang Xinbao stand against the wall.

Just now, Tang Xinbao saw Zhao Guai being beaten by Wu Chen.

Although Tang Xinbao didn't know who Zhao Guai was, the fact that Zhao Guai had men with guns clearly indicated that he was a big shot.

Wu Chen attacked without warning. Zhao Guai's men instinctively drew their guns, but were met with a Zhao Guai, who was clearly terrified of Wu Chen.

At this moment, Tang Xinbao was once again guessing who Wu Chen really was.

Guo Chen walked up to the two of them again, smiled, and asked, "Did you make a phone call?"

Huh?

No, the phone is broken. Qiqi's phone is in her bag, and the bag is in the car.

Tang Xinbao then immediately asked Brother Wu Chen, "Who is that cripple?"

They recruit kidnappers, the ones in charge of things in the underworld.

Wu Chen said.

Tang Xinbao understood what the person in charge of the underworld meant, and he immediately thought of someone: Li Ruotai, the Young Master Li of the East Sea.

He knew that East Sea was Li Ruotai's territory, so even though Wu Chen was beating up Li Ruotai's men, he wasn't afraid of Li Ruotai at all.

As Tang Xinbao was pondering this, Wu Chen asked Tang Xinmang again, "Should we go to the hospital first, or wait until this is dealt with?"

Can it still hold on?

Hey bro, I'm fine, it's not that serious. I'm pretty strong, I've trained before.

Tang Xinbao swung his arm as he spoke, trying to appear brave, but there was indeed no serious injury such as a fracture or internal bleeding.

Brother, how many years have you been practicing kung fu?

Did you train from a young age?

As Tang Xinbao spoke, he asked Wu Chen, and he even seemed a little excited about it.

He had previously asked Wu Chen about kung fu, because in his entire life, the two things he was most interested in were fighting and cars.

My hobby of cars is something I've only developed in the last few years.

He has been practicing martial arts and combat since he was a child; it is arguably his greatest hobby.

He always thought he was very skilled in training, that he could fight seven or eight people his age who couldn't even get in shape, but Wu Chen today completely changed his understanding of combat sports.

It's been many years.

Wu Chen replied with a smile.

That's a vague explanation. So, brother, how exactly did you train?

Did you really practice on your own, without learning from anyone else?

Tang Xinbao asked again.

Especially interested?

Over the next few minutes, Wu Chen casually chatted with Tang Xinbao about combat sports.

Outside the alley, on the street in the distance, Zhao Guai and Qiao Chenghu finally finished their conversation.

Qiao Chenghu's understanding of the Tang Family, the Jiuhe, and the Guo Society was not as good as Zhao Guai's, so Zhao Guai had to tell him more and repeatedly reminded Qiao Chenghu that he must be ruthless and not mess up the performance.

Um!

The roar suddenly rang out again from the street.

There was only one car, a Rolls-Royce, speeding up and quickly crossing half the street to the vicinity of the alley entrance.

The brakes were sudden, but they stopped smoothly.

The car door opened, and Li Ruotai got out with two bodyguards. He had come too; Zhao Guai had notified him first and explained the situation to him.

Some of Zhao Guai's men were standing outside the alley entrance, so Li Ruotai walked straight towards them. After a few steps, he noticed the blue Lamborghini.

He knew perfectly well that it was his brother-in-law's car.

Um?

Li Ruotai suddenly frowned because he noticed that his brother-in-law wasn't in the car, but a particularly beautiful young girl Li Ruo was sitting in the passenger seat. His mood suddenly became a little off.
