Urban Martial Saint

Under the leadership of Zhao Chengshuang, with Li Lianshan accompanying, Ye Qing and several others went to meet Hou Qingyi.

In his earlier years, Hou Qingyi had conflicts with Tiger King. Now, the venue was forcibly taken from him after Tiger King took control of the Fierce Tiger Gang. Hou Qingyi had always harbored resentment about this incident, but given Tiger King’s strength, he dared not think of revenge.

With Tiger King recently killed by Poisonous Mantis, the Fierce Tiger Gang was in disarray, and the Fu Bang took the initiative to strike at the Fierce Tiger Gang. He seized the opportunity to take back this venue. However, though he had seized it, he didn’t have the management rights to the venue; he could only control it for now.

If the Fierce Tiger Gang resolved their internal conflicts and came after him later, he feared he wouldn’t be able to hold onto the venue.

Hou Qingyi knew his own strength, so he was eager to fully make the venue his own, and changing the ownership documents to his name was the best method. Now with Ye Qing approaching him, it was exactly what he wanted. Moreover, with Zhao Chengshuang and Li Lianshan by his side, and the rumors outside about Poisonous Mantis supporting Ye Qing, he gave plenty of face to Ye Qing.

”This venue was originally forcibly bought from me by Tiger King for three million. Over these three years, Tiger King also spent a lot of money on the venue, adding much new equipment, and the value of the venue has doubled.

If it were those bastards from the Fierce Tiger Gang negotiating with me, I would only go up to six million,” Hou Qingyi looked at Zhao Chengshuang and Li Lianshan and smiled, ”However, since the venue is now Mr. Ye’s property, and with Captain Zhao and Old Li here, saying six million seems a bit unreasonable. How about this, I’ll offer twelve million, Mr. Ye, what do you think?”

On the way there, Li Lianshan had already made it clear to Ye Qing. Given the current situation, if he was eager to sell these venues, making ten million would already be a profit. With Hou Qingyi offering twelve million, which was a very generous offer, Ye Qing could not possibly refuse.

Ye Qing agreed to Hou Qingyi’s price, took out the venue’s documents, and signed the transfer contract on the spot. This venue, within less than two hours, was transferred twice and finally returned to Hou Qingyi.

After signing the contract, the twelve million was transferred to Li Lianshan’s account. This start made everyone very pleased; with the twelve million as a foundation, they could use this venue as an example when negotiating the price with Li Chengxing later. If Li Chengxing pushed the price too low, they would also have a reason to argue.

As Li Lianshan drove, he said with some worry, ”Li Chengxing is very difficult to talk to, and he’s very arrogant. He’s quick to resort to violence. Should we call some brothers over?”

Zhao Chengshuang looked at Ye Qing and Black Bear and confidently said, ”No need.”

Li Chengxing occupied a nightclub of the Fierce Tiger Gang called Tian Sheng, located in North City District. This area was where the Fu Bang was most active, and Tian Sheng Nightclub was almost on the boundary between the Fu Bang and the Fierce Tiger Gang.

The four arrived at Tian Sheng and saw from afar about thirty to forty fierce-looking men standing outside; they were likely Fu Bang’s men.

”Damn, it doesn’t look easy to talk!” Li Lianshan said with some concern.

Zhao Chengshuang sneered and said, ”If we can’t agree, we’ll just leave. I don’t believe Li Chengxing would dare to start a fight!”

With the unruly heir Zhao Chengshuang with them, Li Lianshan felt somewhat more confident. Although Zhao Chengshuang’s family wasn’t wealthy, his elders came from the military, and in Shenchuan City, indeed no one dared to truly threaten his life!

Parking the car outside, the four of them got out. Black Bear pushed Zhao Chengshuang’s wheelchair and followed Ye Qing straight to Tian Sheng.

The people at the entrance stared at them, their gazes containing some hostility. If it had been anyone else, they surely would have been nervous. However, these four were all battle-hardened, especially Ye Qing and Black Bear, who had experienced bullets whizzing past them; such scenes were nothing to them now.

Upon entering the main gate, Tian Sheng was noticeably unbusy, and the music was not loud. Upon seeing new arrivals, several hosts hurriedly came up to greet the four, asking if they had reserved private rooms and other things. However, most were mainly surprised to see Zhao Chengshuang. With such serious injuries, he still came here searching for entertainment, a testament to his unyielding spirit.

Zhao Chengshuang, sitting in the wheelchair, said nonchalantly, ”We’re here to see Li Chengxing, call him out!”

Upon hearing this, the hosts were momentarily stunned, with one hurriedly gesturing quietly, ”Bro, keep it down, if Li hears you, there’ll be trouble!”

This host was decent enough, even knowing to remind Zhao Chengshuang to be cautious. Zhao Chengshuang nodded at him and said, ”Don’t worry, tell him Zhao Chengshuang is looking for him!”

Seeing Zhao Chengshuang’s confident demeanor, the host knew he was no ordinary person and quickly went in to report.

This venue had only recently been seized by Li Chengxing, and he had been based here these past few days, ready to fend off any attacks from the Fierce Tiger Gang. The men outside had been positioned there by him, ready to deal with anyone from the Fierce Tiger Gang. This was also the reason Tian Sheng was not doing well; with the situation unstable, who would dare to patronize it?

It hadn’t been two minutes since they were greeted that Li Chengxing came out with about seven or eight people. Li Chengxing, who was only in his twenties or thirties this year, had a heavy, fierce look on his face as cold light flickered occasionally in his eyes. Even upon seeing Zhao Chengshuang, the cold light in his eyes didn’t fade; he simply gave a cold smile.

”Captain Zhao, you’re so free to run all the way to North City District for duty? What, planning to transfer here?” Li Chengxing mocked coldly. He had already heard about the situation with the Fierce Tiger Gang and had pretty much guessed the purpose of Ye Qing’s and Zhao Chengshuang’s visit. Thus, he had no intention of having a proper discussion with them.

Zhao Chengshuang also sneered and said, ”That’s uncertain. If I accidentally get transferred here, I’d have to ask Boss Li for a lot of support!”

Li Chengxing looked colder and, ignoring Zhao Chengshuang, turned to Li Lianshan and said, ”Old Third Li, I heard that you almost died at the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena the other night. What, forgotten the pain after the scar healed so quickly? Still playing the dog for someone else, aren’t you tired of it?”

Li Lianshan was furious and before he could speak, Ye Qing stepped forward, his eyes coldly on Li Chengxing, and said, ”We’re here to talk business. If you want to talk, let’s talk. If not, then take your men and leave. Don’t use words to insult my friend!”

Li Chengxing gave Ye Qing a once over and said, ”Take my men and leave? Who the hell are you? What gives you the right to say that?”

”Forgot to introduce!” Zhao Chengshuang cleared his throat and said, ”This is Mr. Ye Qing, Li Chengxing. The place you’re standing in now is already his property. So, legally speaking, he’s the boss here. If he doesn’t want to do business with you, you really should leave this place!”

Li Chengxing’s expression changed drastically, and he said coldly, ”Zhao Chengshuang, are you here to pick a fight?”

Zhao Chengshuang shrugged and said, ”I was originally here to talk nicely with you, but you’re not prepared to talk nicely. If we really can’t talk, then let’s proceed with legal proceedings.”

Li Chengxing gave Zhao Chengshuang a cold glance then looked at Ye Qing, saying solemnly, ”Ye Qing? I’ve heard your name; they say you’re a good fighter. But this is Shenchuan City, you think being able to fight is enough? I’m telling you, Tian Sheng is on Fu Bang’s turf. If you know what’s good for you, make me a satisfactory offer, and we can turn this place over.

Otherwise, even if I take people away from Tian Sheng now, this arena won’t get to open!”

”Thirty million!” Ye Qing answered crisply, startling Zhao Chengshuang and Li Lianshan beside him.

”Ye Zi, even if the arena is sold under normal conditions, it wouldn’t reach more than twenty-two million!” Li Lianshan whispered as a reminder.

”Damn, you’re even better at racketeering than me!” exclaimed Zhao Chengshuang, surprised.

In his understanding, Ye Qing was low-key, preferring to suffer a loss himself rather than cheat others. The fact that he had sold sixty percent of the shares in the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena to Li Lianshan for only fifty million showed his usual indifference towards money. But now, Ye Qing demanding such a high price was completely unexpected for him.

Li Chengxing was also stunned at the amount, then laughed loudly after a while, ”Thirty million! Thirty million! Damn, I don’t even want to give you thirty thousand, and you dare to shout such a price here? Mr. Ye, have you gotten punch-drunk?”

Ye Qing’s expression remained calm, and he said, ”If you’re unwilling to pay, please leave.”

”Bastard, you dare chase me away!” Li Chengxing was furious, pointing at Ye Qing and bellowing, ”I’m not leaving today, Mr. Ye, what can you do about me?”

Ye Qing said nothing, but Black Bear had already walked over from behind, stretching his strong physique, glaring at Li Chengxing.

The towering body of Black Bear indeed put a great psychological pressure on Li Chengxing and his men. Li Chengxing hastily gestured, and a younger brother whipped out a walkie-talkie and began shouting loudly, ”Something happened in the arena, come in quick, come in quick!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than thirty or forty people ran in, immediately surrounding Ye Qing and the other three.

”Trying to scare me?” Seeing so many subordinates, Li Chengxing got his spirit back, laughing and saying, ”Damn it, Mr. Ye, no matter how good you are at fighting, what can you do to me? With so many brothers here, we could drown you with just our spit. How are you going to fight me? I’m telling you, you’d better honestly transfer the arena to me today.

Thirty thousand yuan, that’s the highest I can offer. If you don’t transfer, see if you four can walk out of here today, and I, Li Chengxing, will take my head off and use it as your toilet!”

Hearing this, Zhao Chengshuang also got angry, pointing at Li Chengxing and saying, ”Li Chengxing, are you planning to keep me here too? Alright then, kill me first, come on, kill me first. I’ll just sit here in my wheelchair, easy to take care of, go ahead and slaughter me first.”
