Chapter 181 161: Conflicting Accounts

Everyone was stunned by his action, not expecting the seemingly gentle and refined Xu Chunliang to strike so ruthlessly.Xu Chunliang said, "Do I keep hitting like this?"

With his left fist, he delivered a heavy blow to the tattooed man's face, knocking him out with one punch. Even though Xu Chunliang let go of him, the man had lost the ability to stand, his legs giving way as he fell to his knees, then slowly sprawled on the hard floor, his head hitting the ground with a dull thud!

Xu Chunliang walked forward, rolling up his sleeves in a leisurely manner as he went.

"I have a habit; when I encounter trouble, I first call 120. I guarantee that the one taken away tonight won't be me; it will be one of you."

The muscle under Young Master Tang's right eye twitched. He suddenly realized that the young man approaching was ruthless, and fear crept into his heart, though he glanced around and felt reassured by the number of people on his side.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Zhen Chun, did anyone hit you just now?"

Zhen Chun bit her lip, clearly terrified.

Xu Chunliang roared, "Speak!"

Trembling with fear, Zhen Chun pointed to the guy Xu Chunliang had already knocked to the ground.

The tattooed man was struggling to get up on all fours, but Xu Chunliang gave him a contemptuous look and suddenly kicked him hard in the face.

Many people were so frightened that they closed their eyes. The man, having taken the kick, toppled headfirst to the ground again, with blood flowing from his nostrils across the floor.

A burly man with a square face and stubble grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the ice bucket and roared, "I'll kill you!" as he charged at Xu Chunliang.

Though the man's strides were large, Xu Chunliang's movement speed was even quicker, his body launching like a cannonball. He kicked the man in the crotch.

The man clutched his groin in agony, and the bottle in his hand crashed to the ground, shattering.

Xu Chunliang raised his right hand and delivered a vicious slap to the man's contorted face, the slap sending the hair on the man's face flying.

Even though the room was crowded, Xu Chunliang's actions surpassed their expectations. Initially, relying on their numerical advantage, they thought they could intimidate the few against them. Who could have imagined Xu Chunliang would take the initiative to attack?

Young Master Tang realized a terrifying problem: Xu Chunliang was already less than two meters away from him.

From the start, Xu Chunliang was targeting him, as capturing the leader first was the strategy. Today's culprit was this guy.

The two people beside Young Master Tang realized this as well and rushed towards Xu Chunliang together. Xu Chunliang casually grabbed two bottles of liquor and smashed them over the men's heads. Once he took action, he showed no mercy, determined to help Dongzhou 120 earn tonight.

Young Master Tang never expected Xu Chunliang to be so fierce. In a panic, he grabbed an ice pick from the ice bucket and stabbed it towards Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang caught his wrist and twisted it counterclockwise. Young Master Tang let out a scream, and Xu Chunliang held his hand. The ice pick was still in Young Master Tang's grip, but Xu Chunliang had complete control of it, and he plunged it into Young Master Tang's thigh.

"Ah!"

Young Master Tang let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, while his accomplices were all petrified with fear. Who was this guy? This wasn't just fighting; this was torture!

At this moment, the bar manager, Xie Chunlei, burst in with a group of security guards: "Everyone, stop! Stop!"

Young Master Tang wailed, "Call the police... quickly... call... ow..." But Xu Chunliang twisted his hand, causing the ice pick to move, inflicting excruciating pain as it twisted within the flesh.

Xie Chunlei didn't dare to call the police rashly. If reported, the bar's business would be severely affected. When he heard about the incident in room 888, he knew it was no small matter. Before coming, he thought it was the guests of this room bullying others, but what he saw completely overturned his imagination.

"Let him go first!" Xie Chunlei's voice carried an undeniable authority.

Xu Chunliang completely ignored him, gently twisting Young Master Tang's hand, and stared at him, saying, "Were you the one who brought my cousin here?"

"I... damn... ouch... it was me... it was me..."

Zhen Chun, who had been quite scared initially, now found it amusing.

Xie Chunlei realized his words had no effect, knowing Du Yunqiang, and hurried over to him to ask what was going on. Du Yunqiang was also fuming, babbling on, indicating he had already called the police.

Xie Chunlei whispered to Du Yunqiang, whose face changed as he moved to Liang Linan's side to murmur a few words.

Young Master Tang wasn't an ordinary person; his father was the president of a well-known listed group domestically and came to Dongzhou for investment negotiations. If this incident disrupted the city's investment, it would be a big issue.

Liang Linan, understanding the interplay of business and government, knew that if this escalated, they would be at a disadvantage. He took a few steps forward, saying, "Chunliang, let's settle this and leave it to Manager Xie."

Xu Chunliang acted as if he hadn't heard him: "Cousin, did he hit you?"

Zhen Chun bit her lip and said, "He... he pulled my hair!"

Xu Chunliang said, "Okay, brother will help you vent your anger!" He grabbed Young Master Tang's yellow hair and gave it a fierce tug, ripping out a tuft of hair.

Young Master Tang didn't feel much pain this time, mainly because all the pain was concentrated on his thigh. Pampered and spoiled since childhood, he had always been arrogant due to his family's background and had never suffered such a loss, wailing, "Just you wait..."

Xu Chunliang said, "No need to wait, if you want revenge, do it now." He twisted his wrist again.

Young Master Tang felt like his wrist was about to break and was sweating profusely: "I... I... was wrong..."

"What did you say? I didn't hear you!"

"I was wrong! Ah... ah..."

Xu Chunliang whispered into his ear, "I've thought it over, and the best way to prevent your revenge is to kill you!"

"No... I was wrong, I was really wrong... I won't dare..." The always haughty Young Master Tang was so scared he started to cry.

At this moment, the sound of sirens rang out outside; it turned out Du Yunqiang called the police before entering the private room, and Xie Chunlei thought it was trouble.

Xu Chunliang patted Young Master Tang's face and said, "Watch your mouth, or I'll really kill you!" He let go, but suddenly pressed Young Master Tang's hand down, driving the ice pick deeper into his thigh.

"Ah!"

The private room was filled with Young Master Tang's horrific screams.

120 also arrived, and Young Master Tang was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment of his wounds.

The others were taken to the local police station, and Xu Chunliang made a call to Lu Qi, who rushed over immediately. There was no choice, when a friend is in need, one must come to help resolve the aftermath.

The police station had already taken statements, and the cause of the incident was that Zhen Chun encountered Tang Tianyi on her way to the restroom. Tang Tianyi saw that Zhen Chun looked good and went over to chat her up, but was scolded by the defiant Zhen Chun.

Tang Tianyi lost face in front of his friends, so he forcibly and rudely pulled Zhen Chun to his private room. Other than forcing her to drink, there was no over-the-top action, but that was Zhen Chun's side of the story.

Tang Tianyi's group insisted that Zhen Chun followed him willingly.

Then Xu Chunliang brought people over, but he was too rough, injuring five, and even stabbed a bloody hole in Tang Tianyi's thigh.

This Tang Tianyi has a strong background; he is the precious son of the president of Huayuan Group and came to Dongzhou to discuss investment. Who would have thought that just as he arrived, this would happen, and now his lawyer is already here, preparing to sue Xu Chunliang, claiming Xu Chunliang threatened to kill him.

Lu Qi believed that this testimony was disadvantageous for Xu Chunliang. Despite having investigated all involved parties, Tang Tianyi's side had the numbers. Lu Qi also checked the bar owner's testimony, which was clearly biased in favor of Tang Tianyi.

It was true that Tang Tianyi's thigh was stabbed, but the hospital's injury report showed the wound was five centimeters deep, not damaging nerves, and did not constitute a minor injury.

According to legal stipulations, the length of a single wound in body skin and subcutaneous tissue reaching 10 centimeters or the total length of all wounds reaching 15 centimeters; injuring sensory nerves, blood vessels, or tendons affecting function is considered a minor injury.

Tang Tianyi firmly claimed that Xu Chunliang stabbed him, while Xu Chunliang said that Tang Tianyi first tried to attack him with the ice pick, and during the struggle, Tang Tianyi stabbed himself due to losing control, and suggested checking the ice pick for fingerprints to verify, both sides insisted on their version.

Considering Xu Chunliang is a public servant, if this matter is not handled well, it could affect his job. Lu Qi reminded the police station to handle it fairly and justly.

Right now, evidence is the most important thing. Asked Manager Xie Chunlei of SEVEN STAR, but he could not provide footage from inside the private room, claiming it was for guest privacy and no surveillance cameras were installed inside.

He was even unwilling to provide footage of the conflict between Zhen Chun and Tang Tianyi outside, which seemed somewhat intentional. The police believed Xie Chunlei was deliberately hiding evidence beneficial to Xu Chunliang's side.

Xu Chunliang was the last to be released, with the police station instructing him not to leave Dongzhou and to keep communication open as the case wasn't closed, and they might need to question him further.

As soon as Xu Chunliang got out of the police station, Zhen Chun rushed over, "Cousin, are you okay?" After tonight's event, the image of Cousin Xu Chunliang had risen in her heart, and she even admired him a bit now.

Xu Chunliang said, "It's nothing, why are you all still here? Hurry and go home."

Liang Linan told him they already notified the family that they went to eat barbecue together and would go back to the hotel soon. The root cause of tonight's event stemmed from him. If he hadn't invited Du Yunqiang to the bar to play, it wouldn't have caused such trouble. Liang Linan was also very afraid of being blamed by his parents and told the sisters not to mention it to the family.

Xu Chunliang thought the same way, to avoid worrying the family, since nothing was really wrong, and advised them to return to the hotel to rest.

After persuading the relatives to leave, Zhao Xiaohui came over and smiled at Xu Chunliang, "I thought you wouldn't be coming out tonight."

Xu Chunliang said, "Trust in the law, trust in the government; good people won't be wronged."

Lu Qi said, "What kind of good person are you? You're a grown man, still so impulsive. Don't you know to call 110 first when there's trouble? If that doesn't work, call me."

Xu Chunliang said, "I called 120 first."
