Chapter 264: Old Liao, Who Almost Made a Mess of Things

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Old Liao, Who Almost Made a Mess of Things

At this moment, he felt helpless inside.

No way around it, since I’m not a novel protagonist, how the hell could I beat so many people?

Faced with over twenty brawny men wielding clubs, in reality, not to mention Batman, even Superman would end up with a lump on his head!

As for all the old men, they too cast a disdainful look at Ye Chen.

They originally thought that Teacher Ye would make a seven-in, seven-out heroic stand here and slaughter them all to the last man.

But before they could even finish fantasizing, Teacher Ye just wilted...

Seeing Ye Chen’s reaction, Wang Long was even more smugly triumphant.

He smacked his lips, then said arrogantly, "Hehe, consider yourself lucky, kid, you know when to fold. You’re someone who could do big things!"

"Alright, take your stuff and scram, now!"

"Right, right, right, did you hear that? Hurry up and pack your stuff and get out of here!" Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately gave Liao Xuexue and the group of old men a signal with his eyes.

And these old men also caught on to Ye Chen’s intent from his gaze.

After all, having fished together for so long, there was some tacit understanding between them.

They discerned from Teacher Ye’s eyes that he wanted these old men to leave the place first.

And that was indeed Ye Chen’s intention.

With the boost from the system, he did have tyrannical physical strength; he was able to drag down a giant python weighing over five hundred pounds.

Facing these twenty-odd strong men, although he wasn’t confident he could take them all down, he was sure he could hold them off for a while and stall until Zhou Tao and his people came to the rescue.

And the premise for this was to let Liao Xuexue and the old men from the Jiang City River squad leave first.

After all, if they were here, Ye Chen would have to look out for them and would not be able to delay the time or restrain Wang Long and his men.

Damn, I’m really clever!

Ye Chen thought excitedly to himself.

At the same time, Ye Chen also had a bold guess in his mind.

That was that this box of gold bars was probably illicit, maybe Wang Long and his group got them from who knows where.

If that was the case, wouldn’t I be credited with a great achievement?

Although the gold bars were a no-go, when the time comes, wouldn’t Zhou Tao and his people have to give me a bonus?

Sweet! Oh so sweet!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen gave the old men another signal with his eyes.

These old men could naturally grasp Ye Chen’s intention.

But who would have thought, just when it seemed the plan would proceed smoothly, Old Liao suddenly stood out.

He stood beside Ye Chen, glaring at Wang Long across from him with displeasure.

And Wang Long, noticing the old man glaring at him with a face begging to be punched, naturally became upset.

"Old man, who the hell do you think you’re glaring at?"

Seeing this, Ye Chen thought it was bad news.

Before he could speak, Old Liao exploded.

"Your mom!"

"What’s this, you think you’re so fierce?"

"Thought this was your prime time from the last century?"

"I’ll tell you, this box of gold bars was fished up by our Teacher Ye, what right do you have to hijack it halfway?"

With Old Liao’s outburst, Wang Long, standing across from Ye Chen, had his face darkened to the extreme.

His look was as if he was about to kill someone.

And yet, old Mr. Liao still had that beat-me-if-you-dare look, provoking Wang Long.

"Look at you, you’re the spitting image of a wild boar, damn it, just looking at you tells you’re no good."

"What, you think you’re tough with all your people? Let me tell you, our Mr. Ye has never been afraid of you!"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Ye Chen’s eyes twitched violently, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

What a guy, this old Mr. Liao really knows how to play the fox exploiting the tiger’s might.

But old Liao, do you have any idea how many people are on the other side?

Damn, there’re twenty or thirty people!

And those old men around him, seeing such a perilous scene, also had their hearts in their throats.

Wang Long, standing opposite, was clearly infuriated by old Mr. Liao’s words.

If Wang Long were driven into a tight corner, would there be any good left for them?

Old Mr. Liao finished talking, smiled proudly, then put his hands on his hips and continued.

"Let me tell you, we’ve already reported..."

This time, before old Mr. Liao could finish, Ye Chen stepped forward and covered his mouth.

If Wang Long found out that they had called the police, it would probably spell trouble for them.

Because according to Ye Chen’s judgment, Wang Long and that box of gold bars were definitely fishy.

"Sorry about that, boss Zhang, this old man, he’s got a bad head, a bit of senile dementia, don’t stoop to his level!"

Following Ye Chen’s words, Old Zhang and Old Jin came up too, pulling old Mr. Liao along, while smirking at Wang Long.

"Hehe, boss Zhang, to be honest, this old man is indeed like this. Sometimes when his mind isn’t clear, he can get sick."

"That’s right, boss Zhang, you can’t be petty with an old man with dementia. If you do, and it gets out, won’t people laugh their heads off?"

After saying that, the two of them pulled old Mr. Liao toward the fishing spot, ready to pack up their gear and make a quick getaway.

Ye Chen, seeing Wang Long’s expression was still frowning, couldn’t quite gauge his mood.

So he tentatively asked, "Boss Zhang? What do you think..."

The next moment, Wang Long snorted coldly, and said displeased, "Hmph, really an odd old man."

"If I take offense at this, it really would damage my reputation, but what did he just say, report what?"

Ye Chen’s heart rose to his throat, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a forced smile, "He said we’re planning to take all the fish we caught..."

"You see, leaving this box of gold bars here, we can’t just leave empty-handed, right?"

"The most taboo thing for fishermen is to leave empty-handed, those fish..."

Wang Long, hearing this, suddenly realized, and waved his hand dismissively.

"I thought it was something serious."

"It’s just a few lousy fish, right? Take them and get lost!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Ye Chen rubbed his hands, smiled obsequiously, then turned and shouted to those old men who were packing up their gear, "You hear that? Let’s get moving fast!"

Old Mr. Liao, who was being pulled away to pack up the gear, however, was fuming mad.

He pushed away Old Wang and Old Jin who were pulling him, and said irritably.

"What are you dragging me for?"

"This Wang Long, he’s too arrogant, how can he bully people like this!"

"That box of gold bars, it’s obviously..."

Before old Mr. Liao could finish, Liao Xuexue couldn’t watch anymore.

She sighed, and said to old Mr. Liao, "Grandpa, haven’t you figured it out yet?"

"Figured out what?" Old Mr. Liao, seeing Liao Xuexue rarely lose her temper, was somewhat astonished.
