Chapter 416 Wei Jixiang
Chapter 416 Wei Jixiang
Damn, someone is getting beaten.
Wei Jixiang was secretly surprised that he could actually receive an invitation to such a party! You know, in the past, it was not his turn to attend such a party.
Is it really as the rumors say? Bao Rong and his team were injured so badly this time! This is unbelievable.
You know, in the past, only people of prominent status could sit at this dinner table, but now, even an unknown person like him has the opportunity to receive this honor.
When he thought of this, Wei Jixiang could hardly suppress his inner joy, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
However, this excitement did not last long, as Wei Jixiang quickly calmed down and began to reflect on whether he was too optimistic.
Maybe everything was just his wishful thinking, and the facts might not be as good as he thought.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still walked towards Chen Mei's luxurious villa with a glimmer of expectation.
His son Dahong was also traveling with him.
The main purpose is to bring his son to see the world, so that he can live in such a big villa when he becomes successful in the future.
When Wei Jixiang finally arrived at his destination, he let his son play outside with the son of Crown Prince Chen Tailong, and he went inside to meet Chen Mei and others.
The sight that awaited him confirmed his earlier fears.
I saw everyone sitting around a huge dining table, enjoying the sumptuous food.
The aroma of those delicious foods is so tempting that it makes your mouth water.
However, to Wei Jixiang's disappointment, he was not received warmly as expected. Instead, he could only stand alone aside, watching others feasting like an outsider.
At this moment, Wei Jixiang opened his eyes wide, staring at the delicious dishes on the table, swallowing his saliva continuously.
However, no matter how much he desired, no one noticed his existence, let alone invited him to have dinner with them.
Not only that, even the unfortunate guy who was put into a sack and was being beaten attracted more attention than him.
"You're so damn stubborn that you don't even say anything." The two dwarf mules, one holding a wooden stick and the other holding a baseball bat, kept shouting at the person in the sack.
At this time, the man with the sack tightly wrapped around his head was enduring the fists and sticks that rained down like raindrops, while he kept mumbling in grievance: "What should I say? You guys should talk, my whole mouth is blocked now, I can't say anything at all, what should I say?"
His voice was full of sorrow and helplessness, as if he was telling the people around him about his innocence and misfortune.
But the people present seemed to have no sympathy for his plight and continued to abuse him without mercy.
Despite the awkward situation, Wei Jixiang still gritted his teeth and greeted the people at the table who were feasting: "Hello, Uncle Mei, Hello, Uncle Pang, Hello, Uncle Fei, Hello, Prince Brother."
Unfortunately, his enthusiasm did not receive any response. No one even raised their heads and completely treated him as air, ignoring him.
Seeing this, Wei Jixiang could only shrug helplessly, then leaned back gently, trying his best to avoid blocking other people's view.
"His mouth is blocked by you, what can he say?" At this moment, Chen Mei finally put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth slowly, turned his head with a smile and looked at Wei Jixiang, and said slowly: "Ah Xiang, in fact, in my opinion, with your ability and qualifications, you should have come out to stand on your own and become a big brother. But you insist on holding on to that small nightclub and that broken factory. Not only does it not make money, but it also causes trouble all day long. Alas, in the final analysis, this matter is also my fault as a big brother for not supporting you well."
Wei Jixiang was extremely anxious, his hands kept waving, and he explained anxiously: "Oh my, it's really not true! It's absolutely not true! It's completely my own problem. Just think about it, just guarding that nightclub is enough to make me exhausted, not to mention I have to take care of my son, I'm already very busy! How can I have the energy to think about other things!"
"Isn't that Ruby helping you take care of your son? Don't think I don't know." At this moment, an elusive smile emerged on Chen Tailong's cold face, and the expression that seemed neither a smile nor a smile seemed particularly mysterious.
Then Chen Tailong opened his mouth slowly and said leisurely: "Thinking back to the past, when you rushed towards Sangbo with a machete, you were so majestic and fearless! When your hand raised the machete and fell, you knocked Sangbo to the ground in the blink of an eye, making him collapse like a puddle of mud. But now? How come you have become so timid and cowardly?"
After saying that, he deliberately raised his eyebrows and stared at Wei Jixiang with a contemptuous and dissatisfied look, as if he could see through the deepest and most secret corners of the other's heart.
Faced with such questioning and ridicule, Wei Jixiang suddenly felt ashamed and could only force out two dry laughs to hide his embarrassment.
However, his mind was blank at this moment and he really didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, Uncle Mei, who had been sitting quietly and silent, stretched out a hand without warning, as fast as lightning, and accurately stopped Chen Tailong who was about to continue to be aggressive and refused to give up.
Uncle Mei looked solemn and said in an extremely serious tone, "Hey, you can't say that about Ah Xiang! Have you forgotten? If it weren't for Ah Xiang who stepped forward at the critical moment and risked his life to save you from that ruthless guy Sang Bo, you wouldn't be as successful as you are today. As a human being, you should always have a conscience!"
Hearing Chen Mei's powerful words, Wei Jixiang's heart was instantly like being blown by a warm spring breeze, and a strong and hot current of warmth surged up involuntarily. He was full of gratitude, and his eyes slowly turned to the direction of Chen Mei, revealing an indescribable touch and relief in his eyes. He really didn't expect that in such a difficult and embarrassing moment, someone would bravely stand up and speak for him.
However, facing Chen Mei's accusations and admonitions, Chen Tailong did not seem to want to back down or reflect. On the contrary, he almost subconsciously opened his mouth to refute: "Humph! That guy Sangbo just came to me to collect a debt. Who could have expected that this ignorant brat was actually a complete fool? Without saying a word, he rushed forward and slashed Sangbo severely."
At this time, the fat uncle, who was originally concentrating on enjoying the food, slowly put down his chopsticks after hearing this and joined the argument.
He wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and echoed Chen Tailong, saying, "The prince is right! No one asked Ah Xiang to kill Sang Bo back then. It was just that kid who wanted to be a hero. Actually, I know a little about the whole story. He just owed Sang Bo some money. If he just paid the money to Sang Bo, he could have easily resolved the crisis. There was no need to make it so out of control!"
It can be said that Sang Bo was really unlucky. The first time he went to the prince to collect debts, not only did he lose an eye, but he was also imprisoned for five years.
It won’t be long before I have to ask the prince for the second time to collect the debt.
The prince will probably be very tough this time. After all, he never revealed Wei Jixiang's location until his death. Who said that people from Hongtai are not loyal? This one is too loyal.
"A Xiang, don't take it too seriously. The prince only said those harsh words out of impatience when he saw your lack of ambition. In fact, he also hopes that you can have a better development. It's the so-called 'disappointment in learning how to make a good person'." Chen Mei smiled and laughed. It seemed that he was comforting Wei Jixiang with earnest words, but in fact, he was also setting the tone for what happened that year.
"I understand, Uncle Mei, don't worry." Wei Jixiang nodded heavily, then leaned back and leaned on the bar beside him.
At this moment, he finally saw clearly that the father and son in front of him, one played the role of the black-cop who sternly reprimanded, and the other played the role of the white-cop who gave kind advice.
"Oh, by the way, A Xiang, have you heard any rumors about the Little Overlord recently?" Chen Tailong asked, staring at Wei Jixiang, as if he suddenly remembered something important.
Wei Jixiang had a flattering smile on his face and responded cautiously, "I heard my brothers mention it."
Chen Mei slowly stood up, walked with an elegant yet dignified pace, and walked straight to the man who was tightly wrapped in a sack and was being beaten.
He waved his hand gently, and the three ferocious younger brothers immediately stopped what they were doing.
After the sack was taken off, Chen Mei showed an amiable look, but the words he said were full of mystery: "Boy, as long as you tell us where the Little Overlord is now, I will not only generously give you 300,000 yuan to let you go to Wanbei, but you can also take your wife and children with you, and live a stable and happy life from now on. Isn't that good?"
At this time, Wei Jixiang was holding an unlit cigarette between his fingers. Having witnessed too many bloody scenes before, he couldn't help but tremble when he saw blood.
Taking advantage of this gap, he mustered up his courage and pointed his trembling finger at the wounded man, pretending to be fierce and shouting: "Hey! See, people are giving you a chance to live, so confess the truth quickly! You are giving up the chance to live and insist on fighting to the end. Are you really a fool?"
Looking at the younger brother who was beaten all over and almost dying, he gritted his teeth and refused to utter a word for the whole morning, but in the end he could not withstand the double torture of physical and mental torture.
Finally, he used up his last bit of strength and spoke in a voice as weak as a candle in the wind: "Little...Little Bully will go to the chicken and duck pen to collect debts at 3...3 o'clock this afternoon."
Hearing this, Chen Mei smiled with satisfaction on his old face. The laugh was crisp and loud: "Haha, good, not bad." Then, he gave a meaningful look to the younger brother holding the baseball bat.
The younger brother understood what he meant and raised the thick wooden stick in his hand, and used all his strength to hit the back of the head of the short mule who betrayed the Little Overlord.
There was only a muffled sound, like a watermelon bursting, and the dwarf mule's head was instantly smashed into pieces.
In an instant, blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering everywhere and forming a horrifying blood mist.
Wei Jixiang felt his stomach churning as he witnessed this bloody scene. His throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible hand and he began to dry heave uncontrollably.
His face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
The scene before him was so horrifying and disgusting that he could hardly bear the shock both psychologically and physically.
At this moment, Chen Mei seemed to be a different person. She looked expressionlessly at the blood all over the floor and the twitching body of the dwarf mule. Then she slowly turned her head and said indifferently to everyone in the room: "The little bully has made us Hongtai lose face in front of other clubs. We are not a gentleman if we don't take revenge! Who among you dares to stand up and help us Hongtai get rid of this big trouble?"
After hearing this, the originally noisy room suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to respond for a while.
At this moment, Fatty turned his gaze to Wei Jixiang, who was covering his mouth and retching. A sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a sarcastic tone, "Ah Xiang, you should know that he is our Hongtai's gold medal fighter, with great skills. It's most appropriate to let him handle this matter."
Seeing this, the fat uncle on the side nodded quickly and agreed: "Yes, yes, I have heard about A Xiang's ability a long time ago. He really has to do this job!" After saying that, he gave Wei Jixiang a meaningful smile.
Chen Tailong, who had been sitting silently in the corner, said with a forced smile: "Hehe, if you can successfully kill the Little Overlord this time, Axiang, you will be completely famous! There are only a few red sticks left in the industry who can be called famous, you must seize this rare opportunity!" Although he said words of praise, his eyes revealed an elusive chill.
Faced with everyone's expectations and pressure, Wei Jixiang felt very embarrassed. He suppressed his inner discomfort and forced a smile in response.
However, at this moment he had mixed feelings in his heart, full of fear and confusion about his next actions. He was now trying his best not to get involved in the society's affairs.
The once glorious man is now a coward.
