408: Chapter 408 A Plot Against Ye Chen?

The group of thugs behind Boss Mu also started laughing along with him.

The laughter was filled with mockery and contempt.

"Boss Mu, is this the kid who kicked you into the stinking ditch?"

"He doesn't look like much, skinny as a rail."

"Hahaha, Boss Mu, did you drink too much and get taken down by someone like this?"

"Shut up!" Boss Mu roared back in shame and anger. "Just wait until I kill him, then let's see if you're still laughing!"

The thugs restrained themselves a bit, but the amusement in their eyes was still unmistakable.

Boss Mu turned his head back to Ye Chen and said through gritted teeth.

"Kid, that kick of yours just now felt real 'good'."

"Now, it's my turn to let you feel 'good'!"

Ye Chen picked up his wine glass and took a light sip.

Then.

He looked up at Boss Mu's distorted face and asked calmly, "What do you want?"

Hearing this, Boss Mu was momentarily stunned before throwing his head back and laughing.

"Hahaha!"

"He's asking what I want to do?"

He laughed so hard he doubled over, and the thugs behind him joined in.

The laughter was thunderous, echoing through the empty street.

After laughing for a while, Boss Mu finally stopped.

He stared at Ye Chen, the smile on his face becoming incredibly sinister.

"What else could I want?"

"To mess you up, of course!"

"I'll beat you into a cripple! Then I'll stuff you into that stinking ditch!"

"Let you taste what it's like to swim in sewage!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you die so quickly!"

"I'll take my time, breaking your bones one by one, and then..."

Before he could finish.

Ye Chen nodded.

"Oh."

The moment the word left his lips, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot!

Fast!

So fast that no one present could see his movements!

Boss Mu only felt a blur before his eyes, and the young man who was originally sitting three zhang away was already in front of him!

He didn't even have time to react before Ye Chen grabbed him by the hair!

Boss Mu's pupils constricted, a chill surging from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

"You..."

Before he could finish, Ye Chen's arm suddenly exerted force!

Boss Mu was forcibly hoisted up from the back seat of the motorcycle!

Then.

Like throwing a tattered sack, he hurled him violently toward the stinking ditch!

"Whoosh!"

Boss Mu's body traced a parabola through the air.

His face was filled with shock as he watched the pitch-black, stinking ditch rapidly enlarge before his eyes...

"Splash!!!"

Water splashed everywhere!

Boss Mu crashed into the stinking ditch once again!

The murky, foul water surged, splashing over a meter high!

The surrounding thugs all stared with wide eyes and open mouths, dumbfounded...

Holy crap!

In again?

Someone couldn't help but let out a laugh.

But they quickly covered their mouths, the expressions on their faces shifting as vividly as a slideshow...

There was a commotion in the ditch.

Boss Mu struggled to stand up from the sewage, his head and face covered in black filth.

He was trembling all over, whether from anger or the cold.

He looked up at Ye Chen on the bank, his eyes filled with a total breakdown.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him for me!!!"

He roared, his voice cracking.

The thugs finally snapped out of their shock.

A burly man with a fleshy face at the front suddenly waved his hand.

"Go!"

"Kill him!"

Seventy or eighty people jumped off their motorcycles in unison, brandishing machetes and iron bars, charging toward Ye Chen with wild shouts!

That formation and momentum were enough to make any ordinary person's legs go weak with fear.

However.

Ye Chen stood his ground, simply lifting his right foot and lightly stomping on the ground.

"Boom!!!"

An invisible surge of energy erupted from beneath his feet!

The energy transformed into a visible shockwave, frantically spreading in all directions!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the thugs were sent flying back in unison!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A series of dull thuds exploded!

Seventy or eighty people, like dumplings falling into a pot, crashed onto the street, onto motorcycles, and onto roadside stalls!

Screams!

Wails!

The sound of bones shattering!

They intertwined into a chorus, echoing in the night sky!

In just a few seconds.

Not one of those seventy or eighty people could stand up again; they all lay on the ground like dying dogs.

Compared to how they arrived, they were like completely different people...

Standing in the sewage, Boss Mu was completely stunned.

With just one move, he knocked down all seventy or eighty people he brought???

Ye Chen walked to the edge of the ditch and looked down at him.

"I gave you a chance."

Boss Mu trembled all over, his legs giving way, and he knelt directly in the stinking ditch.

The sewage rose to his chest, but he didn't dare move an inch.

"Spare... spare my life..."

Ye Chen looked down at him and asked calmly, "Do you want to live?"

Boss Mu nodded like a woodpecker.

"I want to live! Please spare my life!"

Ye Chen nodded. "Go turn yourself in. Tell the police everything you've done wrong."

Boss Mu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go!"

"I'll definitely go! First thing tomorrow morning!"

However.

Though he agreed readily enough, he was calculating in his heart.

Agree first!

As for whether he'd actually go?

That was his own business...

As long as he could leave alive today, he'd go find Lord Long and have him settle everything.

Just a young man who could fight... no matter how good he was, could he really contend with someone as influential and powerful as Lord Long?

However.

Ye Chen looked at him and suddenly smiled.

The smile was harmless, yet it made Boss Mu's heart skip a beat.

"You don't have to go."

"But I will definitely make you pay the price."

"Because I, Ye Chen, am a member of the Dragon Group."

"In your line of work, you shouldn't be unaware of what the Dragon Group is, right?"

As those words fell.

Boss Mu's face instantly turned as pale as paper.

"The Dragon Group?"

This young man was actually from the Dragon Group???

That legendary official organization that specialized in handling special cases and had the authority to act first and report later???

Holy shit!

Clashing with someone like that, wasn't he just asking for death?

His legs went limp, and he slipped further into the sewage, nearly submerging himself.

But just then, a flash of insight struck him.

Wait!

He looked up, staring at Ye Chen with wide eyes, the fear on his face even more intense than before.

"You... you're Ye Chen?"

"The Chief Instructor of the Dragon Group's Hidden Dragon Pavilion?!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

A thug leader actually knew his reputation?

However, he didn't think it was because he had become famous.

For a name to be remembered by a low-level thug like this, there had to be another reason behind it.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke calmly, "Speak. How do you know my name?"

Boss Mu knelt in the sewage, trembling all over.

He knew that if he didn't provide something of value today, he might really die here.

After all...

It was all too easy for the Dragon Group to finish off someone with a criminal record.

He gritted his teeth and finally spoke.

"I... I can tell you something big!"

"Something huge!"

"I only ask that you spare my life!"

Ye Chen nodded. "Speak."

Boss Mu took a deep breath and lowered his voice.

"Someone bribed our Lord Long to plot a conspiracy against the Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion."

"They said that once the conspiracy succeeds, you'll not only be disgraced, but you'll also face..."

"...imprisonment!"

Ye Chen's brow furrowed tightly.

To be honest.

This was the first time he had heard of this Lord Long.

But why would the other party target him?

Not only could he not figure it out, but Wen Yating and Huang Xian on the side were also stunned.

They wondered if that Lord Long had eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall or if someone was backing him, to dare scheme against the Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion?

Before they could figure it out.

Ye Chen asked calmly, "What conspiracy?"

"I don't know."

Boss Mu was on the verge of tears.

"I'm just a small-time player, how could I know such secrets?"

"I only learned your name because I accidentally overheard it!"

Ye Chen thought about it.

That seemed plausible...

A brainless street thug like Boss Mu didn't seem like someone who could access secrets.

But since it involved him, Ye Chen couldn't just sit idly by.

Ye Chen smiled and asked, "Where is Lord Long?"

Hearing this, a light of survival instantly erupted in Boss Mu's eyes.

"I'll take you there! I'll take you there!"

"But sir, does this count as making amends for my crimes?"

Ye Chen nodded. "It counts."

Hearing this, Boss Mu felt as if he had been granted a great pardon.

The next second.

He struggled to crawl out of the ditch, becoming excited.

"Sir! I'll take you there right now!"

"Lord Long should be at his place right now!"

"It's not far from here, only a ten-minute drive!"

Ye Chen nodded and turned to look at Huang Xian and Wen Yating.

"You two go back to the hotel first."

Huang Xian immediately stood up upon hearing this. "No! We're going with you!"

Wen Yating also nodded frantically.

"Right, right, right!"

"In case anything happens, we can record it as evidence for you!"

Ye Chen glanced at her. "You just want to record material, don't you?"

Wen Yating: "..."

Good grief!

She'd been found out...

But Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to argue with her and said calmly, "Fine, you two come along too. You can drive for me."

"No problem!"

The two women responded in unison, their eyes shining.

Ye Chen turned his head and looked at Boss Mu. "Lead the way."
