Chapter 919: Chapter 328: Awarding 15% Equity in Mercedes-Benz Group (Part 5)

Yang Chen definitely wouldn’t get out of the car, damn it, there’s no need to do it himself.

He waved his hand, and five bodyguards got out and came to his side.

"Go over there and take care of them, knock them all down. Make sure to beat them into submission so they won’t dare trouble Chen He again. Then bring Chen He and their leader over," Yang Chen instructed.

The five bodyguards nodded, took off their jackets and placed them on the hood of Yang Chen’s car, pulled out the sticks they carried, and walked over.

Zhao Chunxue: "Huh? You drive a ride-share car and bring bodyguards along?"

Yang Chen: "Yeah! Otherwise, I’d have to deal with this myself, wouldn’t I?"

Zhao Chunxue: "Whoa, hey... Brother, can you give your little sister a hint about who you really are?"

Yang Chen: "I’m just an ordinary ride-share driver."

At this moment, screams came from the dark alley.

Since there was no light over there, only sounds could be heard, but nothing could be seen.

Zhao Chunxue patted Yang Chen’s arm and said, "Brother, turn on the high beams, I want to see the fight. I’ve never seen such a scene growing up, and it sounds quite thrilling. Come on, please."

Yang Chen chuckled and turned on the high beams, pointing them over.

In the alley, those five brutes with rubber sticks took out one person after another; the group couldn’t withstand their burly attacks at all.

Some even had knives but were still easily knocked down.

Yang Chen quickly turned off the high beams.

Zhao Chunxue immediately shook his arm and said, "Why’d you turn it off? Keep it on. It looks quite exciting."

"Are you a psychopath? Damn! Why are you so interested in this kind of stuff?" Yang Chen retorted.

Zhao Chunxue giggled and said, "Things I’ve never tried are, of course, particularly intriguing. Don’t you want to try new things? Besides, people like to watch the drama. What’s so strange about that?"

Yang Chen grabbed her chin and said, "I haven’t tried you yet, what about that?"

Zhao Chunxue quickly leaned back tactically, looking nervous, and said, "Brother, don’t joke around. You’re someone with status, don’t do this kind of thing. Even if you want to try, take some time, treat me to a few meals, watch some movies, build some feelings, then bring it up. Just saying you want to try is something I can’t accept."

Yang Chen smiled, turned his head, and continued watching the dark alley.

A few seconds later, Zhao Chunxue said melancholically, "If you think a few meals and movies are too much, at least treat me to one meal and one movie, right? Without any buildup, who can handle it."

Yang Chen smiled without speaking, girls after the year 2000 are indeed quite bold.

Seeing Yang Chen not speaking, Zhao Chunxue seemed a bit anxious.

"Come on, so no meals, no movies, can’t you say something sweet to cheer me up?" Zhao Chunxue said.

Yang Chen still didn’t speak.

"Hey! You’re over the line! I’m at least a proper girl, you can’t expect me to make the first move? Brother, are you sure that’s how you want to be? In school, those boys were lining up to be my backup lovers and I wouldn’t even care for them. Don’t ruin me. Do you really want me to make the first move?" Zhao Chunxue complained.

Yang Chen still didn’t speak.

"What are you doing?! Say something! What do you mean? The 2000s kids may be more open, but I can’t be open enough to demand you to do something to me, right? You’re kind of bullying me, feels like you’re not respecting me at all." Zhao Chunxue said again.

At this time, the alley went quiet.

A few seconds later, five bodyguards came over with Chen He and a leader.

Seeing Yang Chen, the battered and bruised Chen He immediately began to cry.

"Brother Chen, you’re finally here. I thought I was done for tonight. They waved knives in front of me, scared me to death," Chen He said fearfully.

Yang Chen glanced at him, acted without thinking of the consequences, and this was the result.

Then Yang Chen waved for the leader to come over.

The leader said, "Brother, I was wrong, stop hitting. I didn’t know he was your brother, otherwise, I wouldn’t have touched him."

Yang Chen: "Do you know Zhang Lijun?"

The leader replied: "Yes, yes! You know Brother Jun?"

Yang Chen showed him Zhang Lijun’s WeChat and said, "Zhang Lijun has to call me Brother. He reporting you is unloyal from your perspective, but legally it’s fine. But you hitting him, that’s outright illegal. What are you going to do about it?"

The leader was terrified; someone even Zhang Lijun had to call "Brother" must be powerful.

"Brother, oh no, Brother Chen, I know I was wrong. Brother Chen is right, he reporting us is reasonable and legal, but us hitting him is illegal. How about this, we’ll compensate him 200,000... no, 300,000... no, no, 500,000! We’ll compensate him 500,000 to settle this. Is that okay?"

Yang Chen turned to Chen He and said, "They’re compensating you 500,000 to settle this. Do you want it?"

Chen He: "Huh? 500,000? Yes!"

Yang Chen nodded.

The leader immediately had someone fetch 500,000 and handed it over to Chen He.

In this business, they might not have much else, but cash is abundant.

Yang Chen: "Let’s consider this matter closed, and I won’t have Zhang Lijun come after you. But if you dare trouble him again, I guarantee Zhang Lijun will personally come to settle you! Understood?"

"Understood, understood! Rest assured, Brother Chen, I won’t dare bother him again. We’ll move out immediately, and we’ll definitely stop operating in this area. Thank you, Brother Chen, for your magnanimity, thank you."

Yang Chen waved his hand, and the leader ran off hurriedly.

Chen He was thrilled and said, "Brother Chen, thank you! I never expected to make 500,000 from a beating, now I have money for a matchmaker and wedding. Oh, right, thanks to Brother Chen and the brothers for saving me. Let’s split this money in half."

The five bodyguards looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen nodded, and only then did they accept it.

5,000 for each person as hardship pay is quite fair.

"Get home early. In the future, think about the consequences before you act, don’t rush into things. You’re from out of town, without power or influence. To be blunt, even keeping your head down doesn’t guarantee safety, and yet you dare to provoke these kinds of people, aren’t you out of your mind?" Yang Chen warned.

Chen He nodded repeatedly and said, "Understood! I’ve listened to everything Brother Chen said, I’ll be careful and cautious from now on. Brother Chen, you head back, and I’ll go home too. Thanks, brothers. Be safe on the road."

With that, Chen He happily got into the car with the money, forgetting the fear of having a knife waved in front of him earlier.

That group just took a major loss and definitely wouldn’t let it slide.

They gave in and paid up, but it’s not like they genuinely backed down.

The leader, named Zhang Qing, went directly to find the boss, Ye Hua.

"Brother Hua! Brother Hua! Please stand up for us! Our shop got reported by two ride-share drivers, and we were beaten by them and their people. All our brothers got injured, and they extorted 500,000 from us. Brother Hua, you must stand up for us!"

Ye Hua was also part of the Ye Family in Hai City, but he was more of a branch family member. His grandfather, Ye Kaiguo, was the brother of Ye Xuan’s grandfather, Ye Kaiguo.

However, such large families generally have a strong sense of solidarity, and they band together for both minor and major matters.

So, as long as Ye Hua seeks help at home, the Ye Family would surely come forward to stand up for him.
