"Damn it, Gou Qiang, don't you think you owe me an explanation? You son of a bitch, how dare you fucking deceive me?" Yang Yuancheng stormed down from the Peony Hotel. When he saw that Gou Qiang, the bastard who had the audacity to deceive him, had dared to follow, he flew into a rage. He swung his hand and slapped Gou Qiang on the forehead, cursing furiously.

Gou Qiang was clearly stunned by the slap. A deep gloom surfaced in his downcast eyes, but he didn't dare talk back or act recklessly. After all, he was crystal clear on Yang Yuancheng's background, which was far more powerful than his own.

"Brother Yang, I was wrong today, but you have to understand my situation! That kid came here with Young Master Feng and your sister, Yang Cailing. He said right in front of them that he was going to take care of you... How could I possibly resist?" Young Master Gou Qiang couldn't help but complain with an aggrieved expression.

"What did you say? He knows my sister and Young Master Feng—Huang Feng?" Yang Yuancheng's expression changed instantly, not expecting this hidden wrinkle to the incident. "Damn, so he does have some backing. No wonder he was so arrogant before!"

He knew that while his maternal uncle was the provincial deputy governor, that was a distant connection since his mother had married out. Furthermore, Huang Feng's family was not to be trifled with. His father was the newly appointed mayor of Northern Mountain City and even had Governor Zhao's backing.

But this guy had arrived with them and even threatened him right in front of Young Master Feng and his own sister. It clearly meant he wasn't some minor character, which explained his confidence.

Even so, the moment he remembered that his mother was a Xiao and his uncle was the provincial deputy governor, his courage returned. He couldn't help but scowl and curse, "Damn it, I'll deal with you later. Right now, tell me exactly what the hell happened tonight before I got here!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Young Master Yang..." Gou Qiang couldn't help but rage internally, a gloomy light flashing in his eyes. Damn it all, if I wasn't doing your dirty work tonight, would I be in this mess? Not only did I get beaten up, but I also caught the attention of that 'demon.' And now you have the fucking nerve to lecture me?

At this, he couldn't suppress the sinister thought rising in his heart. His eyes shifted as he said weakly, "Young Master Yang, why don't we just let tonight's incident go? That guy seems to have some serious backing..."

"Shut the fuck up! Let it go? Bullshit! I've never been humiliated like this in my life. Look! Look at my face! If I don't fucking kill him tonight, I, Yang Yuancheng, will write my name backward from now on!" Yang Yuancheng instantly exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Let it go? Is he fucking kidding me? When have I, Young Master Yang Yuancheng, ever suffered this kind of humiliation? If I let this slide, how could I ever show my face again in the circles of Northern Mountain City, or even the entire Inner Circle of Jiangnan Province? My reputation would be ruined!

Gou Qiang was well aware of Young Master Yang Yuancheng's unruly and temperamental nature; he knew the slightest provocation would set him off. And right now, he had been severely humiliated, his face swollen up like a pig's.

"So, Brother Yang, what should we do now?" A hint of mockery touched the corner of Gou Qiang's mouth, but his expression remained timid as he spoke.

"That's easy! Report it!" When it came to dealing with enemies, Young Master Yang Yuancheng was surprisingly clear-headed. His eyes grew cold as he barked with a grim face, "I'm calling the police right now! Beating someone up in public like this? I'd like to see if he really thinks he's above the law!"

A moment ago, when faced with Chen Fei's arrogance and unbridled audacity, he had actually felt a little apprehensive, suspecting that things weren't so simple. But now, after being goaded and 'mocked' by Gou Qiang, his mind was clouded with anger. He swore he would make Chen Fei pay! He'd show him! Of course, despite his agitation, he hadn't completely lost his mind. His confidence stemmed from his trump cards and his family background.

His father held a key position in the municipal organization, and more importantly, his mother was from the Xiao Family—the formidable Xiao Family! Who in all of Jiangnan didn't know their name? So even if this opponent was powerful, he refused to believe his background could be bigger than the sky, more formidable than the Xiao Family. That was simply impossible. Thinking this, he felt reassured and grounded.

With a grim expression, he took out his phone and dialed a number. A moment later, the call connected. "Hello? Brother Bald Eagle?" he commanded coldly into the phone. "It's me, Yang Yuancheng. Yes, yes... Look, I've run into some trouble. I was wondering if you could help me... Good, good, I'm downstairs at the Peony Hotel right now. I'll wait for you here."

"Yes, Young Master Yang, don't you worry. I'm bringing my guys over right now. We'll be there in a flash!" a sycophantic, fawning voice replied from the other end.

Hearing that tone, Young Master Yang Yuancheng seemed to gain even more confidence. A spoiled, arrogant smile curled his lips. After a few more casual words, he hung up and muttered to himself, "Damn dog, you dare to mess with Young Master Yang, your Grandpa Yang? Just watch how I'm going to deal with you tonight! If I don't have you kneeling on the ground, begging and calling me 'Grandpa,' then I, Yang Yuancheng, will write my name backward!"

It was clear he was remembering the earlier humiliating scene—being forced to kneel, beg for mercy, and call another man "Grandpa." The memory made him feel as if his organs were about to explode. His fury reached its peak. As his agitation mounted, his emotions overwhelmed his reason, accumulating until he swore he would make that mongrel Chen Fei pay the price! He would make him die a horrible death!

He didn't realize that if he had just calmed down for a moment and called his sister or asked Young Master Feng, perhaps the subsequent tragedy could have been avoided. He was a classic example of someone pushing himself step by step into the abyss.

Seeing this, Gou Qiang lowered his head, his lips trembling with a suppressed smile. To be honest, he had no idea who was more powerful, Chen Fei or Yang Yuancheng. But that didn't stop him from enjoying the prospect of watching these two dogs tear each other apart. Since he now had a grudge against both of them, he would be satisfied no matter which one lost. For him, that was enough.

"It's true what they say, a dog will always go back to eating shit. I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it." Meanwhile, in a private room on a high floor of the Peony Hotel, Chen Fei leaned against a large window overlooking the city, murmuring to himself. He clearly knew what was happening.

Just a moment ago, he had casually cast a small Spell on Yang Yuancheng that allowed him to see and hear everything around the young master for a quarter of an hour. So, he was now fully aware that the other party hadn't given up and was looking for a way to get revenge. It seems there's going to be a new game to play…
