Ye Qian couldn"t understand what these fellows were thinking. Even though those jewelry had already been bought by these rich people and officials, the Wolf Fang wasn"t so poor that they"d have to rob them right? Besides, these fellows were dressed up really well for the part, it really looked like it was the case that they were going to go through with the robbery.
Things had already gone this far so there was nothing Ye Qian could do about it. He wasn"t going to step forward and berate those guys and say, “Screw off and go back!” This would make it obvious to everybody that he was with them.
Ye Qian lightly fisted Wei Cheng Long"s arm and said, “Young Master Wei, did you plan this on purpose? Why would a bunch of robbers suddenly appear here? Did you make plans with them or something?”
Wei Cheng Long stared at him in shock and said, “Stop talking nonsense, I don"t know them.”
“Even though you don"t know them, this is still Young Master Wei"s banquet, this is your territory, and then suddenly some robbers come in, you can"t avoid that this is your responsibility.” Ye Qian said.
Don"t worry, the person who dares to cause trouble in Wei Cheng Long"s territory hasn"t been born yet. Hmph, I"ll go make them screw off.” Wei Cheng Long said disdainfully. He was already humiliated in the matter of the piano contest, if he allowed these gangsters to cause trouble now he wouldn"t be able to show his face anywhere in Shanghai. If he could get these gangsters to scram then he would be redeeming himself, then Wei Cheng Long could really be considered the true man of the moment in Shanghai.
After saying this, Wei Cheng Long moved forward.
“Ye Qian, won"t something bad happen?” Qin Yue whispered.
“Nothing will happen, it"s just a bunch of gangsters. If Young Master Wei can"t even handle this then he won"t be able to show his face in Shanghai in the future.” Ye Qian said indifferently. Even though the Wolf Fang couldn"t be considered Buddhist monks, they were not one to slaughter the innocent, so Ye Qian believed that they would only rough him up a bit and wouldn"t kill him.
“All of you get behind me and don"t talk. If these guys see pretty girls like you then we"d be in for a predicament. But don"t worry, I would protect you all to the death.” Ye Qian said resolutely, this was a good opportunity for a hero to save the beautiful maiden, Ye Qian would not let it pa.s.s.
“Stop right there. I f.u.c.king told you to get down, not listening, eh?”, a gangster holding a submachine gun said to Wei Cheng Long ferociously. Ye Qian stared in surprise, something didn"t seem quite right, but he couldn"t quite figure out what it was.
“Brother, I have no ill intentions.” Wei Cheng Long raised both arms up as he walked forward, “Brother, we all can"t help but want to get rich. But today is my banquet, give the Wei"s some face and we will be indebted to you.”
“Kao, from what f.u.c.king hole did you come from, this daddy doesn"t know you. Why should I give you face. Get down, if you keep yapping this daddy will shoot.” The leader of the gangsters roared out after taking a look at Wei Cheng Long.
“I"m the East Ascension Conglomerate"s Wei Cheng Long, I have a reputation in Shanghai. May I ask where you brothers are from?” Wei Cheng Long said. Ye Qian helplessly shook his head, what kind of fool was this Wei Cheng Long anyway, didn"t he know how to be afraid? If these people weren"t the Wolf Fang in disguise, these guys would either kill him or make him a hostage. But in fact it was not that Wei Cheng Long wasn"t scared, he was quite nervous inwardly, but he was certain that these people would not dare to harm him, after all he was still the young master of the East Ascension Conglomerate. In Shanghai, all the people who walked both paths of good and evil had to give him face.
“And what kind of toy is the East Ascension Conglomerate?” The head gangster turned to his junior beside him and asked.
“The East Ascencion Conglomerate is one of the top three companies in Shanghai. It"s said that whether gangster or high society, peope will give him face, big bro, I think we should back down a bit, we can"t provoke them.” The junior replied in a small voice. But Wei Cheng Long still heard everything clearly and relaxed a bit, since they knew what the East Ascencion Conglomerate was then they would not make things too difficult for him. If they turned out to be completely clueless about the East Ascencion Conglomerate then he could have had a hard time.
The head gangster stared in surprise and then said, “Kao, who cares about the East Ascencion Conglomerate? What this daddy hates the most are these f.u.c.kers with dirty money who think they"re number one. So uou"re from the East Ascencion Conglomerate, d.a.m.n it, good, brothers, when we leave later remember to bring this guy, these rich people wouldn"t mind giving up some millions right? Tie him him and ransom him to the East Ascencion Conglomerate.”
Since the boss made the order, the subordinates did not dare to disobey. They stepped forward to tie Wei Cheng Long, heedless of the consequences. Ye Qian watched the scene unfold with knitted brows. He had a bad feeling, there was something wrong going on.
“You… you let go of me. Or else I"d make sure you won"t be alive to spend spend your money.” Wei Cheng Long cried out in anger.
“Kao, even if this daddy dies I want your life first.” The leader of the gangsters pressed his gun onto Wei Cheng Long"s face, cursing, “If you keep yapping this daddy will shoot.”
The gangsters were not gentle, even dislodging some of Wei Cheng Long"s teeth, fresh blood flowed down his mouth. Wei Cheng Long no longer felt like acting heroic and obediently stopped talking. He was still in his right mind so he understood that the most important thing right now was preserving his life, and it was not the time to be the hero.
Ye Qian"s brows furrowed tightly, he pulled Qin Yue, Hu Ke and Zhao Ya behind him and whispered, “Don"t make a fuss later, you have me.”
“Are you afraid or not?” Ye Qian turned around and asked.
Qin Yue shook her head, not a trace of fear could be seen in her face, it seemed as if this girl had seen situations like this before. Zhao Ya bit her lip and said, “We"re not afraid.” She was incredibly afraid inwardly, but for some reason, while hiding behind Ye Qian she felt very safe. Hu Ke nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhao Ya.
Ye Qian smiled faintly and said, “Except when I"m dead, n.o.body hear can touch you.”
“Hurry up, take off all your valuables and hand them over. This daddy is telling you in advance, whoever dares to hide their things can"t blame this daddy if my gun isn"t careful.” The lead gangster said vehemently, then he gestured for his subordinates to collect the valuables.
“What is this? Quickly, bring it out!” A middle-aged gangster cried out.
