"It's that young man!" Mr. Huang shouted anxiously.
"The one with the knife!"
"Ah? Mr. Huang, does he need our help?" The security guards were a bit bewildered.
Hearing their question, Mr. Huang was also confused. Yes, did he need their help? The situation seemed a bit off, didn't it?
Li Yang smiled at them and said, "Mr. Huang, please apprehend these individuals. They are carrying knives, clearly intending to kill."
"Yes, yes, arrest them all!" Mr. Huang snapped back to reality. It wasn't a question of whether Li Yang needed their help, but rather that they, as the responsible party, had to do something!
Otherwise, if it made the news, wouldn't they be thoroughly lambasted?
Those keyboard warriors wouldn't care about the organizers; they would only seize on any flaw and tear into it.
The security guards immediately moved in.
Those men tried to escape, but they were all injured and couldn't run fast. One even lost his pants while trying to get away, yet he was still caught and brought back.
Mr. Huang quickly approached Li Yang and asked, "Young man, are you alright?"
"Unscathed," Li Yang replied with a smile, handing the knife to him. "Could you please find out who sent these men to commit this act? If they have personal grudges against me, they should settle it outside, not here, wouldn't you agree, Mr. Huang?"
"Absolutely, you are truly understanding, young man." Mr. Huang nodded and said, "Could you perhaps help by saying that what just happened was an act?"
"Certainly," Li Yang said with a smile. Then he leaped up, performing seven consecutive kicks in mid-air, followed by a somersault, landing safely!
Everyone was astonished by this display.
Mr. Huang was taken aback, then immediately clapped and exclaimed, "Excellent, excellent martial arts! Your acting is truly first-class, young man! Wouldn't you all agree?"
"Acting? It was really an act?"
The crowd was momentarily stunned, saying with half-belief, "Was that a martial arts film being shot just now? Where are the cameras?"
"Everyone, please don't look for cameras. Our focus this time is on realism, so the cameras are hidden," Li Yang said with a smile. "Of course, you don't need to worry, when the final product is released, you won't be featured."
"Yes, everyone can rest assured. This martial arts opening segment might be for a movie, or it could be used as a commercial. Even if it's not released, it's an impromptu performance for everyone, a bit of entertainment," Mr. Huang quickly added with a smile.
"We hope you don't mind."
"Not at all, Mr. Huang, you've arranged such a wonderful program for us with such enthusiasm. We only wish we could have seen more, we certainly don't blame you!" the crowd said with chuckles.
Everyone was there to participate in the exhibition. Mr. Huang was the person in charge of the entire event; the size and location of each booth were all decided by him.
Even if some clever individuals realized it wasn't an act, they wouldn't expose it and offend him. It would be looking for trouble and making things difficult for themselves.
Seeing the crowd cheering, indicating that the unexpected incident had been resolved, Mr. Huang breathed a sigh of relief. He handed Li Yang a business card and said in a low voice, "My name is Huang Bai, I am the person in charge of this conference. May I know your name, young man?"
"Li Yang, the second owner of the Rich Jade Gambling Stone Market," Li Yang replied, shaking his hand with a smile.
Huang Bai was surprised, "You, you are the legendary second owner of the Rich Jade Gambling Stone Market? You're so young, I truly didn't expect it."
"My apologies, my apologies."
"You're too kind, Mr. Huang. Thank you for arranging such a large booth for us in such a prime location," Li Yang said with a smile.
Huang Bai replied, "No need to thank me. Your strength matches this level of treatment. Moreover, you are local operators in Jiangcheng's jade industry. If I don't show some favoritism, can I even call myself a local?"
"Otherwise, wouldn't the townsfolk point fingers at me?"
"Haha, you jest, Mr. Huang," Li Yang chuckled.
At this moment, a security guard approached and whispered, "Mr. Huang, someone has spoken."
"What did they say? Just tell me. Boss Li is one of us, and he's also a party involved, so he should know," Huang Bai said.
The security guard immediately said, "Then I will. Those people said they were sent by the owner of Tianyu Jade Gambling Stone Market, Gui Bunian. They were promised one million yuan upon completion."
"Is there any evidence?" Huang Bai's eyes narrowed.
"There is no conclusive evidence, but Gui Bunian did make a call to one of them using his private phone just now."
"However, his phone is unreachable now. Clearly, Gui Bunian realized the situation was bad and discarded that SIM card."
"Hmph, as long as we know it was him, that's enough," Huang Bai snorted coldly. To dare to cause trouble in the venue he was responsible for, even if it was one of the largest local gambling stone markets, he would not tolerate it. "Boss Li, let's go to the Tianyu Jade Gambling Stone Market's booth together. I will ensure justice for you."
"Then I thank you, Mr. Huang," Li Yang said with a smile.
Huang Bai replied, "This is what I should do, you don't need to thank me."
With that, he led several security guards towards the Tianyu Jade Gambling Stone Market's booth.
Seeing them approach, Gui Bunian's expression changed, but he quickly pretended to be unaware and smiled, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Huang? Why have you come?"
"Hmph, Gui Bunian, you should know why I'm here," Huang Bai said with a cold laugh. "I'm not one for wasting words, and I hope you don't make me waste mine."
"I've only come here to tell you one thing: I want you to immediately take your people and withdraw from this conference."
"Why!" Gui Bunian's face immediately turned grim. He glanced at Li Yang and asked, "Did this kid say something to you?"
"Mr. Huang, without any evidence, asking a seasoned, established gambling stone market like ours to withdraw is probably hard to convince everyone, isn't it?"
"I never need to convince anyone when I do things, so don't try to pressure me with that, because it's completely useless."
Huang Bai said coldly, "One last question, are you withdrawing or not?"
"What if I don't?" Gui Bunian retorted with a dark expression.
"Very well, then please vacate your spot and move to the restroom area!" Huang Bai chuckled, thinking I can't deal with you? "You all go and help. We made a mistake about the location of the Tianyu Jade Gambling Stone Market's exhibition booth. This isn't for them, but for the Rich Jade Gambling Stone Market."
"Huang Bai, you, you dare!" Gui Bunian's face turned exceptionally grim and ugly.
Huang Bai chuckled, "Get to work and help Boss Gui move his things."
"Yes, Mr. Huang," the security guards immediately complied. They felt a great deal of disdain for Gui Bunian's methods of hiring thugs to solve problems instead of using the usual industry practices.
When they started working, they were swift and showed no mercy.
