Yuan Hai was shocked by Yang Jian's suggestion, and he was also a little scared. This was the opponent's stronghold, and although he hadn't participated in the fight, the other party didn't recognize him. However, it couldn't be guaranteed that they hadn't investigated the internal structure of their Xichuan Gang.
If he was recognized, it would be like walking into a trap; the risk was too great.
"What's wrong, Manager Yuan? Are you scared?"
Yang Jian asked again, playfully.
Yuan Hai was a bit embarrassed. "What's there to be afraid of? I'm just having a normal meal. Even if they recognize me, they wouldn't dare do anything. Would they dare make a move here?"
"Then that's settled. Xiao Yuan will wait in the car, and I'll get you takeout."
Ma Yuan really couldn't show himself. After attacking the convenience store owner, the other party would definitely focus on him, so they couldn't take the risk.
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he opened the car door and walked towards the restaurant. Yuan Hai had no choice but to quickly follow.
It was only a little past ten o'clock, which was a bit early for lunch. However, this place was close to the bus station, so it was open all day, with customers eating at all times. Yang Jian and the others entering didn't seem out of place.
"Welcome, are you two having a casual meal or entertaining guests? We have private rooms and VIP seating upstairs."
As soon as the two entered, a female server greeted them warmly. She didn't show any neglect because Yang Jian was wearing a camouflage uniform, like a construction worker.
"Just a casual meal."
Yang Jian glanced around. The people eating in the main hall were travelers, and business seemed good.
"Then please sit wherever you like. There's a menu on the table."
The server casually picked up a pen and a small notebook, ready to take their order.
Yang Jian casually ordered a pickled fish and a braised pork rib. Yuan Hai ordered a dry-fried cabbage and four bottles of beer.
At this time, drunk driving checks weren't very strict, so drinking a few beers and driving was not an issue. As they ate and drank, Yang Jian took the opportunity to learn more about the Xichuan Gang.
Yuan Hai also wanted to learn about Yang Jian, but he deflected all the questions, saying he was just an ordinary migrant worker. However, he did give him his phone number.
The two finished eating at half-past eleven, packed a boxed lunch for Ma Yuan, and returned to the car, ready to wait for news from the brothers tracking Cheng Guang.
As Yuan Hai drove the car out of the parking spot, he saw a black sedan slowly driving into the parking lot opposite them.
"Brother Yang, that's Cheng Guang's car."
Yuan Hai slammed on the brakes and pointed ahead.
Yang Jian looked closely, and the license plate of that car indeed ended with ds678.
"What does Cheng Guang look like? Does he have any distinguishing features?"
Yang Jian had never seen Cheng Guang before and wouldn't recognize him even if they met face-to-face.
"Cheng Guang is easy to identify. He's in his thirties and bald."
"Okay, drive the car forward a bit and wait for me. I'll go down and take a look."
As Yang Jian spoke, he opened the door and got out, casually taking the straw hat from the car and putting it on his head. He hunched over and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.
"Xiao Yuan, what do you think Brother Yang is doing? He wouldn't dare make a move here, would he? That would be like lighting a lamp in a latrine, looking for death (shit)! This is Cheng Guang's territory. If there's any disturbance, dozens of people will come out in less than a minute."
Yuan Hai was very confused by Yang Jian's actions.
Ma Yuan also couldn't understand. "He probably just wants to get a closer look at Cheng Guang. He definitely won't make a move. Look, there are two more cars behind him, at least a dozen people."
As expected, three cars stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. Four people got out of each of the two cars behind, and only three people got out of the front car. Besides the bald man, there was also Ah Liang, a bodyguard of Master Fo, whom Yang Jian recognized.
Cheng Guang and Ah Liang got out of the car from the left and right sides respectively. They were chatting and laughing, unaware that a migrant worker in a camouflage uniform had already approached.
Striking back and retaliating at an unexpected time and place for the opponent was Yang Jian's usual style. He wouldn't miss this opportunity today. If you want to kill me, I can't let you go.
Just as Ah Liang and Ah Chao, who was in the passenger seat, hadn't turned to the left side of the car yet, Yang Jian made his move.
When he was about two meters away from Cheng Guang, he suddenly sidestepped and lunged at Cheng Guang.
Cheng Guang never dreamed that someone would attack him at his doorstep. Although he had practiced at a martial arts school for several years and was a good fighter, a capable subordinate of Master Fo, Yang Jian's speed was too fast.
Before he could react, the opponent's knee hit his chest, and he was thrown against the car behind him. Then, the opponent delivered an elbow strike to his head, and he instantly lost consciousness and fainted.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone, including the passing pedestrians.
Ah Liang reacted the fastest. "Holy crap, you're looking for death!"
Just as Ah Liang was about to rush over, Yang Jian had already pulled out two extendable batons and struck the unconscious Cheng Guang four times on his knees. He then quickly retreated two steps, preparing to attack Ah Liang.
Cheng Guang, who had already lost consciousness, was beaten awake. Both of his kneecaps were shattered, and he let out a heart-wrenching wail, writhing on the ground.
Ah Chao, who had already run over, became timid. Because in the moment he was stunned, Ah Liang had also been knocked to the ground. The attacker's extendable batons accurately struck Ah Liang's joints in his hands and feet. Such injuries, even if not crippling, would require him to lie in bed for half a year.
At this time, all the people from the two cars behind had surrounded them. Four of the eight men were holding machetes, while the other four clearly didn't have time to grab weapons.
Yang Jian didn't retreat but advanced, charging into the crowd with his extendable batons.
From the car behind, Yuan Hai watched all of this incredulously, feeling like he was dreaming. He had never seen anyone so fierce, fighting more than a dozen people alone and completely overwhelming them.
He recognized Cheng Guang and Ah Liang, and these two were not ordinary people. Cheng Guang, being the boss in this area, was naturally a ruthless person who fought desperately. He was the one who personally led the charge to drive the Xichuan Gang out of this area.
Ah Liang was even more notorious. He had once fought eight people alone, forcing them to beg for mercy on their knees, and became Master Fo's bodyguard and ace fighter.
Yet, these two notorious and ruthless individuals couldn't even last ten seconds against this man named Yang.
Ma Yuan was even more shocked. He had a mouthful of rice in his mouth and forgot to chew. He never expected that this Brother Yang, whom he met while working with his father, would be so formidable, daring to make a move in the opponent's territory, and even taking down their boss.
Moreover, he was not afraid of the eight henchmen wielding weapons and even launched an attack. This was something that only happened in movies.
While the two were dumbfounded, Yang Jian had already finished the fight. All eight henchmen were lying on the ground howling. Only Ah Chao had managed to hide in the crowd of onlookers.
Yang Jian glanced at Yuan Hai's car, which had not yet started, and turned to run, because twenty to thirty more people rushed out of the restaurant, all holding machetes and steel forks.
