Chapter 391: Chapter 391: The Furious Zhao Quan

“Ah Xiong, what happened?”

Under the gaze of the crowd, a rush of people burst into the lingerie store, one of them was a buzz-cut man in his thirties who asked coldly.

Staring at the buzz-cut man, Xiong Wenchang pointed at Ye Fan and said hurriedly, “Brother Quan, this kid is wrecking the place! He’s exposed all my dealings, I need Brother Quan to take him down for me. If we don’t take this kid out tonight, I really can’t vent my anger!”

The buzz-cut man’s name was Zhao Quan, two years older than Xiong Wenchang. Currently, Zhao Quan ran an unlicensed foot massage parlor in the old street.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Quan had backing from above, and his massage parlor could provide “special services.”

Little did people know, these illicit activities were just appetizers for Zhao Quan, whose main source of profit was installing pinhole cameras in the rooms, recording the indescribable scenes between clients and masseurs, then selling the footage to some video websites and making a fortune.

Xiong Wenchang had known Zhao Quan for a while. Zhao Quan appreciated Wenchang and hinted that he could open a lingerie store to install pinhole cameras to capture footage of customers changing clothes and sell it.

Knowing that there was a fortune to be made in this line of business, Xiong Wenchang followed Zhao Quan’s suggestion and opened the lingerie store.

Zhao Quan’s foot massage parlor was just diagonally opposite. The two were close, and could watch each other’s backs. Just now, when Xiong Wenchang got beaten up, he furiously summoned Zhao Quan to help.

“Kid, you dare mess with my business, you’ve got guts!” Zhao Quan glared at Ye Fan and scolded angrily.

He and Xiong Wenchang were involved in shady businesses that couldn’t withstand scrutiny. Now that Ye Fan had uncovered Wenchang’s scheme, it meant the ruin of Wenchang.

Zhao Quan had invested in this lingerie store, and Wenchang was giving him a generous cut of the profits every month. At this moment, Ye Fan was causing trouble, which was purely making an enemy of him.

Ye Fan sneered and said, “Ruining your business? Ha! Using these despicable methods to profit, truly shameless!”

“Shameless to the extreme?”

Hearing this, Zhao Quan became enraged and his face suddenly turned sinister. “Kid, do you realize that cutting off a man’s livelihood is akin to killing his parents? You don’t look very old; are you not afraid of death?”

“To deal with scum like you, what have I to fear?” Ye Fan sneered.

Seeing that Ye Fan completely disregarded them, Xiong Wenchang furiously said, “Brother Quan, you see, this kid is too arrogant. In my opinion, we should just take him out! If the stuff here is exposed, it will definitely cause a huge uproar! We should take him out quickly, then I’ll pack up and lay low for a while!”

“We have no other choice!” Zhao Quan nodded grimly.

What he and Wenchang were involved in would be bad if left undiscovered, but once things came to light, the impact would be extremely bad.

Even though he had connections, if the Central Plains authorities started investigating, whoever was protecting him from behind would be of no use.

What he could do now was quickly take Ye Fan out and then have Wenchang pack up and lay low. As long as no major issues arose, they could find another place and start over.

Understanding the gravity of the consequences, Xiong Wenchang looked at a group of middle-aged women and said, “Brother Quan, these people are all in the know. Should we take them all out?”

What! Take them all out?

Realizing that Xiong Wenchang intended to have them all killed, a group of middle-aged women were terrified beyond words.

“Boss Xiong, I don’t know anything, I didn’t see anything, I was never here tonight, please just let me go as if I were nothing!”

“Yeah, Boss Xiong, we don’t know a thing, we’re just here to mind our own business, please let us go!”

“Right, right, Boss Xiong, just deal with this kid, we’re innocent!”

A strong will to survive suddenly surged in these middle-aged women’s hearts, and, now pale-frightened, they quickly pleaded.

“Out of the question!” Zhao Quan flatly refused.

Then, Zhao Quan looked at the group of middle-aged women and said, “Let me tell you, there are surveillance cameras inside the shop. I’ll copy the surveillance footage later. If you dare leak anything, I guarantee I’ll find your homes and wipe out all your families, got it?”

“Understood, understood!” The group of middle-aged women nodded frantically, scared out of their wits.

After intimidating the group of middle-aged women, Zhao Quan said with disgust, “Good, now get out of here, all of you!”

“Yes, yes, yes, we’re leaving right now!”

Like pardoned prisoners, the group of middle-aged women didn’t dare to linger and bolted from the lingerie store, desperately fleeing, fearing that Zhao Quan would change his mind and take them all out.

Seeing many middle-aged women flee the lingerie store, Xiong Wenchang asked in confusion, “Brother Quan, why let these big mamas go? Why not just kill them all and be done with it once and for all?”

“Have you gone mad?”

Zhao Quan said irritably, “These big mamas might be detestable, but there are a dozen of them. If a dozen people suddenly die, do you believe this old street won’t be able to find peace again for a while? You can quit your business if you like, but I can’t let my big place go under just because of you!”

“Sorry, Brother Quan, I wasn’t thinking things through!” Xiong Wenchang suddenly realized his mistake.

Zhao Quan snorted coldly, “Enough! Right now, the priority is to get rid of this kid quickly!”

“Yes, Brother Quan, kill him, kill him quick!” Xiong Wenchang glared viciously at Ye Fan.

If it weren’t for Ye Fan, he wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.

Zhao Quan stared at Ye Fan, “Kid, tonight you’re asking for trouble, so don’t blame me for being ruthless and brutal!”

“Ruthless and brutal?”

Hearing this, Ye Fan laughed mockingly, “Really? You think with that rabble behind you, you can take me down? Aren’t you being a little too naive?”

“Damn you!!!”

When Ye Fan called them a rabble, all of Zhao Quan’s henchmen became furious.

“A rabble? You’re really not just a little arrogant, huh! Brothers, get him, don’t hold back, beat him to death right here and now!” Zhao Quan suddenly ordered with a wave of his hand.

“How dare you smash up Boss Xiong’s place, you’re courting death. Brothers, kill him!”

“Kill him, we must kill him, he doesn’t even consider our brotherhood, we need to make him understand why the flowers are so red!”

“Go, go, go!”

In an instant, Zhao Quan’s men, as if crazed, charged straight at Ye Fan.

“Kid, go to hell!” Xiong Wenchang shouted viciously as he watched Zhao Quan’s men strike fiercely.

In his eyes, with Zhao Quan’s superior numbers, even if Ye Fan was a martial artist, no one could defeat so many hands, and within a few minutes, Ye Fan was sure to be beaten to a pulp.

“End this quickly, hurry, hurry, hurry!” Zhao Quan urged.

Killing and arson were not new to Zhao Quan.

Previously, somebody caused trouble in his foot-massage parlor, and in a fit of anger, Zhao Quan had directly led people to kill the offender.

Anyway, with powerful support behind him, taking care of a small fry like Ye Fan with a little notice was a piece of cake, so Zhao Quan didn’t take Ye Fan seriously.

But the old street was currently bustling, with eyes everywhere; if they took too long and someone witnessed him taking down Ye Fan, it would be really bad for him.

Seeing Zhao Quan’s gang rushing towards him, Ye Fan immediately stepped in front of Zhuang Jingwen, “Sister Jingwen, retreat right now. Don’t get hurt when the fight starts!”

“I’ve almost recovered, I’ll help you!” Zhuang Jingwen said earnestly.

Ye Fan shook his head, “No! Sister Jingwen, your wounds have probably just healed. If you force yourself to fight, the wounds might reopen, and the consequences could be even worse. Listen to me, retreat right now. This rabble is no match for me!”

“Well… okay then!”

Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Zhuang Jingwen hesitated, but she ultimately kept moving back gently.

Xiong Wenchang, however, looked sinisterly, “Still playing the hero on the brink of death? Kid, I’m not afraid to tell you, these men are Brother Quan’s elite fighters. Any one of them could easily kill you, let alone a group attacking together! Tsk tsk! I must say, your woman is really beautiful.”

“Kid, just die in peace! From now on, I’ll take good care of your woman for you, hehehehe…”

As he said this, Xiong Wenchang’s face was full of lewd smiles.

It seemed that in front of the gang of fighters, Ye Fan was bound to die tonight, and Zhuang Jingwen was doomed to become his personal plaything.
