The situation was extremely urgent. A slight misstep in words could lead to a barrage of bricks coming down at once. Even if Fei Hu had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to handle it all at once. It would either be a wrecked car or injured people. He needed to stay rational and not act impulsively. Fei Hu quietly adjusted his breathing, allowing his emotions to calm down. He smiled lightly and said, "There's no need for this. I can just have someone bring the money over quickly. Everyone, please put away the bricks. If the police see this, it won't be a joke."
Brother Chen smirked and replied, "Don't worry, it's hard to see the police around here within a month, let alone in a single day. Just hurry up and make the call; if we delay, we'll have to charge you more." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and those behind him placed their bricks aside.
Fei Hu took out his phone and thought for a moment before calling A-Lian. Once the call connected, without waiting for A-Lian to speak, he jumped in, "A-Lian, bring over twenty thousand yuan. I'm at Binhai Avenue. I just scared off two little punks; there are more than twenty of them on the other side. It seems we can't avoid paying them, so hurry up!"
Upon hearing this, the clever A-Lian quickly understood Fei Hu's implication. She responded, "I understand; the money is no problem. I'll bring extra with me. Binhai Avenue isn't far from us; it will take at most twenty minutes. Just wait in the car." It was clear that if Fei Hu needed someone to bring money, he wouldn't ask A-Lian for help directly; she was very aware of this.
Brother Chen looked at Fei Hu with suspicion and coldly said, "You better not pull any tricks. I've got some influence around here; if you provoke me, I might just ruin your car. You shouldn't even think about hanging around here."
"Relax, it won't take more than twenty minutes for the twenty thousand yuan to reach you—maybe even a bit more since it's only right to treat the Brothers to dinner," Fei Hu said sweetly, but in reality, he wanted to convey to Brother Chen that soon enough, he would be sending some sticks their way.
Ye Xiaofei was getting restless; she tapped on the car window to signal Fei Hu to get in. He nodded and opened the door to sit inside while Brother Chen instructed several of his men to stand in front of the car—clearly to prevent him from driving away.
"What’s going on? Who did you just call? You’re not really having someone bring money over, are you? If we need to pay them off, I have money on my card; there's no need for all this trouble," Ye Xiaofei whispered to Fei Hu.
Fei Hu glanced outside and calmly replied, "Don't worry; I've already arranged for a friend who will arrive in about twenty minutes. We won't give them a single cent; this is clearly extortion. There’s no way such a cheap deal exists without police interference—I’ll handle it myself. Otherwise, who knows how many more bad things these guys will do here."
"Just be careful; these people don't seem like good folks," Xiao Fei said jokingly but added seriously, "Safety is most important. The car can be replaced if it gets damaged; but if you get hurt, I can't buy a new you." Although it was meant as a joke, her words warmed Fei Hu's heart.
Just as Fei Hu and Ye Xiaofei were sharing this tender moment in the car, suddenly two big pickups sped towards them—one parked in front of the Z4 while the other stopped behind it. With a loud bang as the doors swung open, four or five dozen young men and women jumped out almost simultaneously from both vehicles. Each one was armed with makeshift weapons and moved swiftly as if they had rehearsed beforehand, surrounding Brother Chen's group in an instant.
When Fei Hu saw clearly, the leaders of the two groups were none other than A-Lian and Bald Zhang. Fei Hu hurriedly opened the car door to greet them. Bald Zhang and A-Lian separated from the crowd and walked straight to the inner circle. As they walked, Bald Zhang cursed, "Which blind fool is causing trouble for our boss? They must be tired of living!"
Chen Ge did not expect Fei Hu to pull such a stunt on him. His expression changed as he angrily shouted at Fei Hu, "Brother, you have guts! If the mountain doesn't move, the water will. Just wait and see." With that, he waved his hand and led his subordinates to push their way out.
"Hold on! Since you're here, don't rush to leave. What about what you just said—if the mountain doesn't move, the water will? What do you want? Revenge? I advise you to rub your eyes first before talking big. Be careful; if your head gets broken, you won't even know how it happened," Bald Zhang approached, a large bandage wrapped around his head, staring intently at Chen Ge.
At this moment, the two young men who had been lounging on the ground sensed that things were getting serious. They hurriedly got up and walked over to Chen Ge, whispering, "Chen Ge, let's just let this go. We'll take care of our injuries ourselves."
"Hey, didn't you say you were hurt? How come you can still walk? That means there's no real problem. So why do you need twenty thousand yuan?" Bald Zhang asked.
The two young men felt intimidated by Bald Zhang's fierce demeanor and timidly retreated behind Chen Ge. At that moment, Ye Xiaofei in the car rolled down the window and shouted, "Weren't you two just saying your legs were broken? How can you walk now? So it was all an act! You were just trying to extort money, weren't you?"
Fei Hu, who had been silent until now, stepped forward and asked Chen Ge, "What do you think we should do about this? We have money, but we can't just give it to you. You're making this too easy for yourself; it's dangerous. If someone really gets hurt, how will you face your Brothers? This is classic extortion, but unfortunately for you, you've picked the wrong person. It's not about whether I let you go; it's about whether you can leave."
Seeing this situation unfold, Chen Ge appeared more subdued but still held his ground. He muttered under his breath, "You're just relying on numbers to bully us. I'm not afraid; if you're capable, let's settle this one-on-one. If I lose, I'll never show my face here again."
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to negotiate with our boss? You didn't mention a one-on-one fight when we weren't here; now you're spouting nonsense. Don't you think that's embarrassing?" Bald Zhang glared with eyes wide open, looking quite intimidating.
Suddenly, the two young men behind Chen Ge realized things were getting serious and desperately tried to push their way out. However, those outside wouldn't let them through; there was shoving and pushing until someone shouted, "Beat these bastards!" That shout acted like a fuse; chaos erupted instantly with sounds of fighting mixed with screams. The battle was swift and ended in no time; Chen Ge and his subordinates fled in panic, some of them even sustaining serious injuries.
Looking at the motorcycles scattered on the ground, A-Lian glanced around and said, "These bastards really came up with such a method; their tactics are pathetic. What's the difference between this and outright robbery?"
Fei Hu smiled and replied, "It's all my bad luck for running into something like this. Sometimes there's no way to avoid it. Thank you all for your help; I'll treat everyone to a meal another day. Look at this mess—Bald Zhang is still nursing a wound on his head; it's truly touching." At that moment, Ye Xiaofei also got out of the car and greeted A-Lian and Bald Zhang.
In the end, to avoid drawing attention, everyone hurriedly waved goodbye. They left only after watching Fei Hu's car drive away. Ye Xiaofei glanced at the time and smiled, saying, "I think we don't need to go anymore; let's find a place to eat since it's already past time." As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang. Ye Xiaofei quickly took it out and shook her head helplessly.
"Hello, Lisa, I'm sorry. We ran into a little trouble on the road, so we won't be coming. You all have fun; I'll invite you over to my house another day, okay?" Ye Xiaofei said as she prepared to hang up.
Not knowing what the other person said, Ye Xiaofei glanced at Fei Hu with a bit of embarrassment and said, "Actually, we should be close to your house now. Since everyone is waiting for us, we might as well hurry over. See you in a bit." Ye Xiaofei finally hung up the phone.
Fei Hu smiled and said, "So mysterious! We're almost at our destination, and you won't tell me what you're up to. Don't go learning bad things from others." Fei Hu said with a smile directed at Ye Xiaofei.
"Whether I learn bad things or not is none of your business; anyway, you don't really care about me," Ye Xiaofei replied as she grabbed a bag from the back seat and rummaged through it. At that moment, they arrived at their destination. Fei Hu noticed that this was also a villa area. It seemed that most of those with Ye Xiaofei were either wealthy or foreigners. This was status and the so-called social circle; Fei Hu felt somewhat inferior.
Perhaps the host had made arrangements in advance; Fei Hu drove smoothly into the villa area and parked behind an elegant European-style villa. Upon looking around, he saw that there were already more than ten luxury cars parked here—BMWs, Speeding cars, Audis, Lexuses—Fei Hu was dazzled by the sight. At this moment, Ye Xiaofei tossed the bag in her hand into Fei Hu's arms and said, "Quickly change into this outfit; there's no one around."
Fei Hu hesitated for a moment but changed clothes inside the car before getting out with Ye Xiaofei. He asked with some concern, "Dressed like this, what are we going to do? You need to tell me; otherwise, if I embarrass myself later, don't blame me."
Ye Xiaofei reached out and took Fei Hu's hand, saying, "Look at you! You're not afraid of facing dozens of tough guys; what’s there to be scared of? We're going to a gathering for international students; most of them are my good friends from America. Just relax and have fun; they are all warm and friendly, and you'll get along with them quickly." Upon hearing this, Fei Hu thought to himself that these people were all university students returning from America while he felt out of place.
As they climbed the steps, Ye Xiaofei linked her arm with Fei Hu's in a very affectionate manner. This signal told Fei Hu that his identity was not just that of a driver but also Ye Xiaofei's boyfriend. Thinking about this made his heart feel sweeter than honey.
As the door opened, the scene inside left Fei Hu almost stunned.
