Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Get the hell away!"

Huang Baoding stood in front of Song Yun and shoved Tian Chong three or four meters away.

The commotion outside caught Ye Zi's attention, and when he came out and saw Tian Chong's detestable face, he couldn't contain his anger any longer and charged at Tian Chong, landing a punch on him.

Tian Chong was caught off guard and toppled to the ground, where he lay with tears of pain streaming down his face.

But before Ye Zi could continue his attack, Tian Chong rolled away and slowly got back up from the ground.

You should know that Tian Chong was a seasoned tough guy who had been through the wringer in society, not just someone who could take a beating, but even when he was seriously injured, he could endure the pain and fight back.

He rubbed his belly, giving Ye Zi a fierce look before lunging at him.

Although Ye Zi was very strong, ultimately, he couldn't stand up to someone who was an old hand at fighting, and he was soon outmatched and spun in circles by Tian Chong.

Just as Tian Chong was about to land a low and dirty kick on Ye Zi, Huang Baoding suddenly moved. No one saw it clearly, but a blur passed by, and Tian Chong was sent flying, landing a few meters away.

"Holy shit..." Tian Chong rolled on the ground and howled in pain, feeling as though he'd been hit by a train, his bones broken all over!

Huang Baoding looked over the ragtag bunch with a cold gaze and dismissively limbered up.

As someone who could win a military combat competition, dealing with these thugs was a waste of his talent.

At this point, the people Tian Chong brought with him were all dumbstruck, standing rooted to the spot, unsure of what to do.

They could bully an easy target, but in the face of a true hard case, all that was left in their hearts was fear.

"Fuck!" Tian Chong struggled to rise, with two lackeys helping him up. He gasped for air and, bearing the intense pain, said, "You won't be able to leave Crane County today!"

After that, he made a call to his boss, Brother Shi.

"Boss Shi, I got beaten up in Dao Gou! You gotta bring some brothers over here quick!"

Brother Shi was currently inspecting new materials in the warehouse. He had planned to greet a high-level executive from a big company coming from the city today. However, just at this crucial moment, his little brother made a call. Should he go or not?

What a dilemma!

If he went, he might miss out on this money-making opportunity, but if he didn't, people would surely chew him out behind his back, saying that when his closest lackey was in trouble, he, as a boss, did nothing. How would he command respect in the future?

Just as he hesitated, Tian Chong's wailing voice came through once more.

"Brother Shi... I'm begging you, please come quick! I feel like all my bones are broken! If other bosses find out your man got beaten like this, it's your face being slapped too!"

Brother Shi inhaled sharply at this, bones broken?

Shit, what's going on here? What kind of deep hatred did the other party have to strike such a deadly blow?

This was outright disregard for him!

"Wait for me, I'll be there in half an hour!"

Brother Shi snorted coldly, saying, "Keep them in Dao Gou. If they escape, I'll take it out on you!"

Tian Chong, reassured by the definitive news from his boss, felt the pain in his body lighten somewhat.

"I promise you, they won't get out of my sight!"

After hanging up, Brother Shi signaled a few lackeys and said, "Go gather some men, and come with me to Dao Gou!"

"Boss, aren't you going to greet the executive from the city?"

"Someone else will greet them! That little bastard Tian Chong got himself beaten up! I have to go and clean up his mess!" Brother Shi roared in dissatisfaction.

Once everyone had left, Brother Shi lit up a cigarette and looked at the brand-new building materials filling the warehouse, lost in thought. Going to Dao Gou and back would take about an hour, handling the situation would take at most ten minutes—it was nothing more than settling scores and seeking revenge.

It should take about one and a half hours to get back by myself, which is manageable; the timing isn't too tight.

Meanwhile, Tian Chong sat on a large rock, a hideous smile on his face, "You're dead meat, my brother Shi is on his way now. Just try to touch me when he gets here, I dare you!"

Now, Tian Chong, tormented by pain, had become almost delirious, his body's agony driving him to madness.

"It's not just you, but also that old geezer—I'll definitely cripple him this time! Yes, right in front of you, the college kid!"

At this moment, some neighbors who had been watching the commotion stepped forward and quietly pulled Ye Zi aside, "You should run with your grandpa! We common folks can't afford to offend the brother Shi he's talking about!"

This clearly showed just how infamous this brother Shi was locally.

"Shut your filthy mouth, or I won't mind lending a hand," Song Yun, hearing the deranged words coming out of Tian Chong's mouth, finally lost his patience and grabbed the other man by the throat.

Tian Chong hadn't expected Song Yun to actually take action, nor had he anticipated Song Yun's strength.

In just a short dozen seconds, Tian Chong's face turned red, his limbs jerked wildly, trying to pry off Song Yun's fingers.

"Gulp!"

Tian Chong was tossed to the ground by Song Yun, gasping greedily for air. The brush with death had forced him to calm down; he felt a wave of lingering fear, not expecting the young man to be even more ruthless than the robust man!

"Crushing you like the bug you are would only make my shoes dirty. I can change my shoes anytime, but your life..."

Song Yun didn't finish his sentence, but it was precisely his calm tone that caused Tian Chong's heart to panic even more.

His eyes venomously followed Song Yun as he walked back inside the house; if looks could kill, Song Yun would have been dead hundreds of times over.

Twenty minutes later, three Jinbei vans screeched to a halt on the scene.

"Clatter."

The van doors opened, and dozens of people spilled out.

"Damn it, who did the beating! Show yourself!"

"There's someone brave enough to lay hands on my brother in this territory, you're a dead man!"

"Where are they, where are they? I'm in a hurry to get back to my drink!"

The crowd was belligerently yelling at the locals when a figure emerged from the gang— it was brother Shi.

Even with a potbelly from middle age, his shiny bald head and the vicious scar on his face sent a clear signal to everyone around— I'm not to be trifled with!

Brother Shi walked towards Tian Chong, and upon seeing him sitting on the ground like a broken doll, his rage began to rise.

His own underling had been bullied—this was not just a hit on his man, but a slap on his own face!

In all the years in He County, he had never been subjected to such humiliation!

"Creak"

The gate to Ye Zi's house opened, and the three people, including Song Yun, walked out.

Song Yun looked unfazed in the face of the gang holding clubs, not a ripple in his heart.

"Brother Shi, it's those three bastards!"

Tian Chong called out, weak but loud.

Brother Shi looked past Song Yun at Ye Zi and Huang Baoding, and he got the picture.

These two robust men had indeed the capability to intimidate the fair-weather friends around Tian Chong, but to an old hand in the game like himself, what is the use of individual strength? Can it be mightier than the clubs in our hands and numbers?
