Bing Tianyi stood firm and turned to look in the direction of the voice. A man was striding towards him, accompanied by a group of brothers.
From a distance, the man appeared to be around 1.6 meters tall and slightly overweight. It was already October, but this guy was still bare-chested.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi felt frustrated; the man was none other than Qiangzi.
"Brother Qiang, hurry and save me!" Yang Qian, lying on the ground, shouted at Qiangzi like a small animal on the brink of death responding to its owner's call.
Upon hearing the shout, Qiangzi ignored it and quickened his pace until he reached the crowd.
Once he stopped, Qiangzi extended his hand, and one of his brothers handed him an Eastern Blade. Gripping it tightly, he glared at Bing Tianyi and shouted, "Tell me, what do you want? Looking for death? You dare to beat my brother on my turf? Today, you will pay for it."
Bing Tianyi did not expect Qiangzi to be so arrogant, brandishing an Eastern Blade in the street at such a late hour.
This made Bing Tianyi furious. It was clear that Yang Qian was obviously one of Qiangzi's subordinates, and this guy was clearly trying to establish his authority in front of him.
After Qiangzi finished speaking, Bing Tianyi stepped forward slowly and stood before him with a smile. "Brother Qiang, you may not know me, but I am quite familiar with you."
"And you are?" Qiangzi asked feigning curiosity.
"I am Bing Tianyi," Bing Tianyi replied calmly with a smile.
"Oh, so you're the little brat causing all the unrest in the county recently?" Qiangzi said boldly as he looked at Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi nodded in agreement. "You are correct; I am the little brat you mentioned."
"Heh, since you're just a kid, I won't use my knife on you. If you're sensible, apologize to my injured brother right now; otherwise, I will make sure you regret it today," Qiangzi shouted at Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi smiled and looked at Qiangzi, saying, "Do you think I should apologize, or should you?"
"What? If you have the guts, say that again. Damn it, I've never seen such an arrogant little brat like you," Qiangzi replied, swinging the Eastern Blade in his hand a few times.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi stepped forward, and at the same time, Nan Hao and Ouyang Xukong also moved closer.
Standing opposite Qiangzi, Bing Tianyi sneered, "Brother Qiang, to be honest, I really want to see how you handle the Eastern Blade. I've heard you're quite good at it. If you're up for it, my brother here can play with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Rat stepped forward. The Rat was taller and stood a head above the 1.6-meter tall Qiangzi.
Qiangzi had already inquired about Bing Tianyi's group of brothers and guessed that the Rat was the one who had recently given Ouyang Xukong a hard time.
Clearly, he wouldn't stand a chance against this guy. Thinking of this, Qiangzi quickly came up with a retort and coldly said to Bing Tianyi, "You little brat, do you really think being a big brother is that easy? If you can't fight yourself, how will your brothers respect you?"
"Oh, that's quite a theory. It seems I need to learn from you tonight," Bing Tianyi replied clearly. After saying this, he glanced around and spotted a steel pipe nearby before picking it up from the ground.
However, Bing Tianyi did not approach Qiangzi but instead walked straight over to Yang Qian, who was lying on the ground.
Stopping in front of Yang Qian, Bing Tianyi asked directly, "I'll give you one last chance. Who sent you to assassinate me?"
Yang Qian was taken aback by Bing Tianyi's question. However, with Qiangzi backing him up, he felt no fear and boldly replied to Bing Tianyi, "I won't tell you anything today. What are you going to do about it?"
As soon as Yang Qian finished speaking, Bing Tianyi swung the steel pipe and aimed for Yang Qian's head.
As the steel pipe struck the concrete floor, sparks flew up with a sizzling sound, causing everyone around to widen their eyes in shock.
One thing was clear: judging by the force behind Bing Tianyi's swing, if that steel pipe hit Yang Qian's head, it would surely turn into mush.
Of course, as Yang Qian watched the steel pipe come crashing down towards his forehead, he felt a jolt of fear, a warmth spreading between his legs, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Bing Tianyi, controlling the angle of the steel pipe, shouted loudly just as it was about to hit the ground: "Tell me!"
As the sparks faded, Yang Qian on the ground began to tremble all over. He muttered, "It was Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang told me to do this."
At this statement, Qiangzi beside him was completely enraged. Without thinking, he rushed into the crowd and kicked Yang Qian hard in the mouth while angrily shouting, "How dare you frame me! I’ll kill you today."
Bing Tianyi stood by, observing the scene unfolding before him. After Qiangzi had beaten Yang Qian for a few minutes, Bing Tianyi stepped forward and smiled, saying, "Brother Qiang, it probably wouldn’t be good to kill someone here, right? With so many people watching, even if you have connections with the police, that won’t guarantee anything."
Qiangzi halted his attack, his expression changing dramatically. He looked at Bing Tianyi and said frankly with a smile, "Yeah, thanks for the reminder, Brother Bing. But this kid is truly despicable for daring to frame me in front of everyone. Just think about it; am I that petty? Besides, there’s no grudge between us. Why would I send these kids to assassinate you?"
Bing Tianyi understood that arguing with Qiangzi at this moment would yield no results.
However, simply walking away left him feeling somewhat dissatisfied. After a brief consideration, Bing Tianyi smiled and asked Qiangzi, "Brother Qiang, this territory in Beiguan belongs to you, right?"
"Of course," Qiangzi replied earnestly.
Seeing a hint of pride on Qiangzi's face, Bing Tianyi continued, "Since this area is under your control, I’m curious to know—now that your subordinates have injured my men like this and I’ve also been seriously hurt—don’t you think you should show some compensation?"
Upon hearing this, Qiangzi furrowed his brows tightly and looked at Bing Tianyi curiously. "Ice bro, what do you mean by that? Are you asking me for medical expenses?"
"Brother Qiang," Bing Tianyi said seriously. "Let’s be realistic here. You heard what Yang Qian said just now; if other big brothers in the county heard this, do you think they would believe Yang Qian or believe you?"
As Bing Tianyi spoke, he carefully observed the changes in Qiangzi's expression. When he reached this point in his argument, Qiangzi's face changed abruptly as he prepared to explain himself. Suddenly, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "But don’t worry, Brother Qiang. I may not have any special talents but I have a keen insight into matters. As long as you cover the medical expenses for your few little brothers today, I will believe that this incident has nothing to do with you. Moreover, I can let bygones be bygones and we can be friends from now on. How does that sound?"
After hearing Bing Tianyi’s words, Qiangzi turned to glare at the group of kids around him. He sighed and then quietly said to Bing Tianyi, "Ice bro, you know this guy has a bad temper. At first I didn’t realize how badly you were hurt. That’s why my voice was a bit loud earlier. But now I understand; it seems my subordinates are useless and caused trouble for you. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll cover the medical expenses. How much does Ice bro plan to ask for?"
Qiangzi was not a fool; the situation was unfolding on his own turf, and everyone in the county knew that eighty percent of the kids from the Vocational School were little thugs, all under his command. Not to mention Yang Qian, who often flaunted himself in front of him!
Starting from this point, he realized that he was in the wrong tonight. Secondly, although he had gathered some information about Bing Tianyi, from what he learned, Bing Tianyi was just a simple farmer's son. It was clear that there must be some more significant reason behind how this kid had developed so much in less than two months.
Thinking about this, Qiangzi considered that if he acted rashly now, it might not be a problem if things went well. However, if things went poorly and he ended up following in Big Head's footsteps, that would be disastrous.
Bing Tianyi glanced at Ouyang Xukong standing beside him and then looked at Chen Tian, whose mouth was bleeding. He held up five fingers and smiled at Qiangzi, saying, "Brother Qiang, you also do big business; I think this amount isn't much for you?"
Qiangzi initially thought that Bing Tianyi had hit the jackpot and would definitely ask for tens of thousands. To his surprise, Bing Tianyi only held up four fingers. Seeing this, Qiangzi quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Bing. How about I have my brothers personally deliver these forty thousand tomorrow morning?"
Seeing Qiangzi's response, Bing Tianyi helplessly looked at him and said with a smile, "What? Did I say forty thousand? I meant four hundred thousand."
Qiangzi's voice suddenly changed; he looked at Bing Tianyi with trembling disbelief and asked, "Brother Bing, how much did you say? Four hundred thousand? That's enough for a human life!"
"Haha, so you mean you're ready to play with knives?" Bing Tianyi coldly laughed at Qiangzi.
Qiangzi hesitated for a moment, then revealed an innocent smile and said to Bing Tianyi, "How about thirty thousand? Don't be too greedy; perhaps we could really become friends in the future."
In reality, Bing Tianyi knew that becoming friends with someone like Qiangzi was clearly impossible. After all, they were not cut from the same cloth. People like Qiangzi walked on the edge of a knife; one day they might just fall off and end up dead.
And he never fought battles without certainty.
Moreover, there was an even more crucial point: eighty percent of Qiangzi's business was illegal. If he collaborated with Qiangzi, who knows when he might also get dragged into trouble.
