Chapter - 42 Gu And the Army Brat Take On the Gang of Hooligans

****

"Couldn't you have chosen a better place for eating?" Gu Qing Pei followed Yuan Yang into a large food stall that served delicious barbecued lamb meat on shiny metal skewers.

"Not allowed to force, a gentleman where children pay so much attention, eat here and poison your immortal self."

*Yeah....even I couldn't make heads or tail about this paragraph*

Gu Qing Pei looked at him helplessly, "We came out to eat dinner. The bill is company reimbursed, you have no money, it does not matter."

Yuan Yang bared his teeth, "I chose this place with safety as my first concern. Less long-winded, the more people around us, the better it is for us. It will allow us to relax and eat peacefully."

Gu Qing Pei hesitated but sat down with Yuan Yang.

He really hasn't eaten anything in such shabby places for many years. When the economic status of a person rose, it also improved his living conditions drastically and he would pursue a better quality of life. However, to sit on the small plastic stool, Gu Qing Pei suddenly reconnected with his past, where he was a young man working overtime most of the days and usually had his dinner at such cheap stalls.

He smiled and took off his jacket. "OK, I'll just eat here. Boss, I want to drink half a dozen of beers today," he called out to the waiter.

"Okay."

A cold beer was served before him.

Soon a plate of barbecue came up. Yuan Yang was used to drinking beer in the past, back in the army. He cheerily dug into his food. Gu Qing Pei also rolled up his sleeves, and poured two glasses of beer.

"Come on, do a cup with me."

Yuan Yang smiled and touched his cup with Gu's and drank it in one gulp. The weather was already cold, and the cold beer as it traveled down his food pipe, numbed his insides. It was exciting.

Yuan Yang threw Gu a casual glance and gave a low laugh, "Drink up."

Gu Qing Pei smiled, "Don't control me....I'm drinking."

Yuan Yang smiled at him once more, "You are not very good at this."

Gu Qing Pei laughed, "I am like that. Do you think eating barbecue with a bunch of colleagues all day is easy? That person also has to know how to control his drinking."

Yuan Yang pat his face, "If someone does not listen to you.... I'll help you." A shining knife fell, Yuan Yang eyes rolled to the knife on the ground. A sense of premonition passed Gu Qing Pei ears, he turned and saw Yuan Yang's shoulders tense and his eyes were on the blade.

"With your fist you're going to create mayhem," Gu confirmed.

"You really love to teach people what is right? So annoying." Yuan Yang pursed his lips and gave him a beer, "Drink more and shut up."

Gu Qing Pei shook his head and concentrated on his drinks and food.

Yuan Yang drunk a few glasses of wine then said to Gu Qing Pei, "I need to go to the toilet."

"What are you doing?"

"I noticed someone walk into the restroom and I also know somebody is waiting outside for us. I'm going to tackle the bastard in the restroom first."

Gu Qing Pei grabbed his wrist, "You be careful ....and don't create chaos."

"Rest assured." Yuan Yang turned, shouting towards the door, "Boss, where is a bank near here, I want to take some money."

"The ATM is available across the road to the left. You should be able to see it."

"Thank you."

Gu Qing Pei didn't look back and continued to eat and drink.

A few minutes later, he saw a man sitting in the corner of the table running out frantically with one last flustered look at Gu Qing Pei.

Gu Qing Pei smiled faintly.

After a while, Yuan Yang came back. He walked in like nothing significant happened.

He surprised Gu with his sudden return. "Did you get it?"

"The car has three people, a group of rookies."

Gu Qing Pei's face felt hot with anger. "They will not react."

"I'm worried about this too, but if I don't drive them off, how can we feel relieved enough to sleep in the hotel?" Yuan Yang looked at the table and said, "Let's go quickly. We change the hotel and let lawyer Zhao know tomorrow."

"Okay."

The two quickly settled their bill and went out for a taxi.

Outside, the night was young, and the street was crowded with a large crowd. There were many taxis available but the demand for a car was high. They didn't expect such a situation.

They waited for about five minutes, before Yuan Yang shouted, out of patience, "We can't stay here....it's unsafe, let's go."

"Okay."

The two went to the night market across the street, trying to mix in the crowd.

While crossing the street, suddenly a van gained on them and almost run them over.

Yuan Yang's reaction time was fast just like a trained soldier and he pulled Gu out of the van's track just in the nick of time. They slowly moved to an isolated zone and he pushed Gu out of the way, "Run into the market and call the police."

The van rushed towards them in an instant. The door opened, and the driver jumped down. Several men followed him, holding machetes and looking like the lowest level small thugs. But Gu could see the cruelty apparent in their eyes. These men would not hesitate to murder a person.

Gu Qing Pei felt cold even as sweat gathered on his forehead. Although he was not afraid of fighting, but when the other person has a weapon it was not the same. The long machete looked scary.

Visitors who had been around them were all screaming.

Yuan Yang didn't expect such a group of stupid people to be courageous enough to expose their weapons in public. It seemed he had underestimated their power in the city.

He pushed Gu Qing Pei, "No matter what happens.....run."

Gu Qing Pei hesitated a moment, then turned to a small jewelry stand to hide.

Yuan Yang grabbed a wooden stick from the small shop nearby and according to the first rule ...he rushed forward.

The others just heard a howl before one of their teammates was on the ground, blood spraying form his nose. He laid there motionless, shocking the others into action.

Others were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Yuan Yang to start attacking ruthlessly, whacking directly with a wooden stick. Their team member's face was almost disfigured.

Yuan Yang squinted at them, his whole body giving off a chilling vibe like "You pieces of shit, you have run into your grandfather.....me....better count you luck."

Gu Qing Pei was still hiding in a small shop. He turned around in a circle and looked for a weapon to go help Yuan Yang. He found an iron pipe and laughed happily. He took of his coat and handed it to the girl nearby, "Sister, can I trouble you to help me look after my coat?"

The girl nearby was standing in a daze and took the coat from him with wide eyes. Gu Qing Pei then took off in a run.

Gu Qing Pei came out running from the food stall and saw Yuan Yang waving a long wooden stick at the gangsters. However, the situation was not optimistic. The stick was too long to be conveniently used. Once people get out of his range, he was overwhelmed.

Gu Qing Pei took a deep breath and suddenly rushed up and hit one guy's shoulders with the iron pipe. The man who was hit, held a knife in his hand and feel to the ground screaming.

Yuan Yang turned around, looked surprised at Gu Qing Pei's appearance and took note of the iron pipe in his hand. "That is easy to use, give it to me."

Gu Qing Pei quickly threw the pipe to him.

As soon as he got the iron pipe, he turned around and smiled darkly before he started thrashing people with it.

"This is good, this is good," he muttered as he unleashed more violence.

Gu Qing Pei went to pick up the stick on the ground for self-defense. The stick was stamped on and almost slipped from Gu's hand and he crashed into Yuan Yang, making him fall to the ground.

Gu Qing Pei saw the machete fall, but it was beyond his reach.

Yuan Yang bite holding iron pipe and stopped. Two people next to see the opportunity rushed up.

Gu Qing Pei doesn't fight very much, but his physical quality was very good, he rushed forward and kicked a man to the ground, and then went to pull Yuan Yang up from the ground.

Yuan Yang took the chance offered to suddenly push at Gu Qing Pei and moved him out of the way and he bellowed.

Gu Qing Pei's heart was beating double time and adrenalin was rushing through his veins, his brain was buzzing.

Yuan Yang struggled to jump up and waved the iron pipe to cut down the man who fell to the ground, and then ruthlessly beat his pipe against the back and legs of the man, breaking a couple of bones in the process. The people around Yuan Yang saw the tarrying expression on his face and backed up for a second or two. They didn't dare jump into the fray randomly and risk being beaten up bloody. While he was glaring at them, a red-haired man turned to deal with Gu Qing Pei.

Anger and panic rushed through Yuan Yang as he moved ferociously to stop the man from stabbing Gu in the back. The knife instead cut at Yuan Yang's shoulder...then Gu Qing Pei dodged to avoid the blow, grabbed the hand wielding the knife and twisted it forcefully.

That red-haired bloke cried out in pain and. Yuan Yang's eyes glinted dangerously and twisted off his arm without any mercy. Then he kicked him in the elbow and crushed his palm.

Gu Qing Pei's lips trembled as he saw Yuan Yang beat the man into a pulp and he knew from his sparse medical knowledge that this arm was uselessly in the future.

Yuan Yang's clutched one man's hand lying on the ground and twisted it, while his foot crushed the man's chest. He slowly turned and looked at the men remaining behind.

The remaining 34 people didn't dare to move and were obviously scared of this high-profile child from the Yuan clan.

Real people who carried out life-or-death missions carried people who were not measured by this world.

At this moment, the sirens sounded in the distance.

This group of gangsters rushed to the car and drove off in a rush.

Yuan Yang sat down on the ground, heavily panting.

Gu Qing Pei hurriedly sat next to him, his hand hovering over the open wound on Yuan Yang's shoulder. He wanted to touch Yuan Yang, but he was afraid, since the wound was still bleeding.

"Yuan Yang, you all right?"

Yuan Yang's head was bowed and slowly he looked up after a long time. The violence brimming in his eyes vanished and slowly he was replaced with his old look that teased Gu mercilessly.

Yuan Yang smiled, "Nothing .....just a bunch of wounds..... You should see my opponents."

Police car parked in front of them, a policeman jumped out shouting, "Take these people to the hospital." He pointed at them both and ordered, "You and you, get on the ambulance....you need first-aid." The police ran to Yuan Yang, trying to prop him.

Yuan Yang waved his hand and stood up.

Two people sat in the police car.
