House Dad's Literary Life-Chapter 353: When Seeing Injustice on The Road, Throw A Flying Knife

After watching Guo Ziyi and the others leave the bar, Yang Yi finally retracted his gaze. He got up and walked slowly towards the bar. Passing by the counter, he quietly took two slender fruit knives.

Now the music in the bar started playing again, and a few security guards surrounded that area, not disrupting the normal operation in other parts of the bar.

However, it seemed that Chief Huang was indeed a remarkable person. The owner of the bar came over and kept apologizing.

“Old Huang, I know Little Lin did indeed offend you in many ways just now. He shouldn’t have offended you. You’re a prominent figure with prestige, and a big person does not remember small offenses. Just treat Little Lin as a mere fart and let it go?” Boss Lei brought the alcohol over, bending over and pouring alcohol for Chief Huang.

“Little Lin, come here and apologize to Chief Huang!” Boss Lei signaled to Lin Mu’an with his eyes.

Lin Mu’an, who was behind him, was a bit aggrieved, but he also knew that Boss Lei was actually trying to help him out.

“I’m sorry… Chief Huang…” Lin Mu’an walked over, carrying his guitar, and pursed his lips. It took him a while to speak.

“Hmph! Is this what you call an apology? Since when was the apology that I, Chief Huang, asked for become so cheap?” Chief Huang sat there assertively and said disdainfully.

“Old Huang, how do you want Little Lin to apologize to you? He doesn’t have much money, otherwise he wouldn’t come to this bar to sing.” Boss Lei raised his glass and said with a smile, “How about this, I’ll have a drink with you. Let’s consider it my way of apologizing on Little Lin’s behalf!”

“Stop, stop, stop! Old Lei, it’s none of your business. Why are you the one who’s going to drink?” Chief Huang was a bit tipsy today and started talking more, “Let me tell you, today, I didn’t come for you. You know I am the most generous person.”

“Yes, yes, Chief Huang is famous for being generous and magnanimous!” Boss Lei said with a smile.

“But, let me tell you why I lost my temper! It’s because of him, singing darn Cantonese song!” Chief Huang shouted with a breath of alcohol, “Last week, I was doing business in Hong Kong, and a few little brats actually dared to slap me in the face. If it weren’t for them being the young masters of prominent families in Hong City, and if it weren’t because I was unfamiliar with the place, if it were in Jiangcheng, our territory, I would have dealt with them.”

“So, the last thing I want to hear is someone speaking Cantonese here in my place. Singing is not allowed too…” Chief Huang said and, Boss Lei nodded quickly.

Chief Huang raised two fingers and exclaimed, “So, today’s matter, if you want me to let it go, okay. There are two conditions. First, you fire this kid for me. Even if he doesn’t sing Cantonese songs, I can’t stand the sight of him, he irritates me!”

“Ah?” Boss Lei looked at Lin Mu’an, then turned his head back and said with a smile, “Okay, no problem. How can I let you, Chief Huang, feel upset, right? Tomorrow, Little Lin, you don’t need to come tomorrow, or in the future. I will find someone who sings Mandarin songs!”

Yang Yi stood on the sideline, silently watching the development of the situation. He saw Lin Mu’an wanting to say something but stopping himself, finally showing a look of helplessness and gloom.

“Second! Bring me my liquor. Don’t try to deceive me with your cheap stuff. I’m not ignorant about alcohol.”

Chief Huang shouted while slamming down six octagonal glasses, and then filled them with the liquor handed to him by someone.

Yang Yi could see the bottle of liquor, and it should be Russian vodka!

This liquor is definitely strong!

“Drink. Let that kid finish this ‘apology’ drink, and we’ll consider this matter settled!” After Chief Huang poured the wine, he sat back down again.

Boss Lei looked troubled and said, “This, um, Little Lin, he doesn’t drink alcohol!”

Not to mention Lin Mu’an, even Boss Lei would probably end up lying down after finishing these six large, undiluted glasses of vodka.

“Old Lei, are you looking down on me?” Chief Huang snorted.

Lin Mu’an’s face changed. He knew he couldn’t drink, his alcohol tolerance was very, very poor. However, if he didn’t drink today, he might not be able to escape this disaster. He gritted his teeth and was about to step forward when a voice interjected from the side. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢

“Where it is possible to let people off, one should spare them. Brother, you’ve already cut off this young man’s future. Don’t be so overbearing, alright?”

Everyone turned their heads to look, and a tall man dressed in casual clothes walked over.

Lin Mu’an opened his mouth. He recognized the man as the coffee shop owner.

Yang Yi didn’t even glance at Lin Mu’an. He boldly sat down in front of Chief Huang. In full view of everyone, it didn’t seem the least bit out of place.

“Who are you again? Old Lei, why are there so many strange people in your place?” Chief Huang asked displeased.

“Me? Like you, I’m just an ordinary customer. When I see injustice, I speak up.” Yang Yi smiled slightly and looked at Boss Lei, “What, Boss Lei, you’re not driving this troublemaker away, but wants to drive me away?”

Boss Lei still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were constantly darting around. He was clearly deep in thought.

He couldn’t quite see through Yang Yi. From the outside, Yang Yi was just an ordinary wealthy person, but his aura was not like that of an ordinary person at all. Moreover, despite the chaotic situation and several security guards present, Yang Yi sat there with confidence. Boss Lei dared not offend him easily.

As long as he couldn’t figure out the other party’s background, it was better not to provoke them! Boss Lei, who was experienced in such matters, smiled and said, “Not at all! Customers are always welcome. How can we drive people away casually when we open the door to do business?”

“Old Lei, are you throwing my face in front of others?” Chief Huang said unhappily, “This person has already been so disrespectful, hurry up and get rid of him”

Boss Lei’s face changed as he weighed the importance of the matter.

“Chief Huang, right? Have you ever heard the saying ‘Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future?'” Yang Yi slowly opened his mouth.

Chief Huang was already displeased, and after drinking alcohol, he became irritable and easily angered. He immediately flew into a rage. He raised the vodka bottle, which still had some liquid in it, and pointed it at Yang Yi, saying, “Listen, you m…..”

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Yi’s hand flashed with a white light, shocking Chief Huang.

“Pu…” A small knife was fiercely nailed next to Chief Huang’s ear, or more accurately, into the wooden post behind his head. The entire blade was completely buried in the wood, and the handle did not move at all!

Chief Huang swallowed the rest of his curses, mechanically turned his head, and stared blankly at the handle of the knife. He hadn’t fully processed what had just happened, but he was already drenched in cold sweat, and most of his drunkenness had dissipated.

Those security guards panicked and took out their rubber sticks, looking at Yang Yi as if they were facing a big enemy. But Boss Lei responded promptly and quickly stopped his own people, shouting, “Put it away, put it away!”

Boss Lei was also shocked just now. Although he still couldn’t figure out Yang Yi, with the move Yang Yi had just made, Boss Lei knew that he couldn’t provoke such people.

Boss Lei was just a bar owner running a legitimate slow lounge bar, not involved in any illegal activities. He understood the importance of avoiding trouble whenever possible.

Yang Yi slowly revealed another fruit knife in his hand, his fingers caressing the gleaming blade as he smiled slightly and said, “Chief Huang, we’re all civilized people here. There’s no need to make this a life-and-death struggle, don’t you think?”

Chief Huang finally regained his frightened soul. He stared at Yang Yi closely or rather at the remaining knife in Yang Yi’s hand. His teeth trembled a bit, and he said, “You, what do you want?”

Just now, that knife almost directly inserted into his forehead. Chief Huang didn’t know if the other party did it deliberately, but he managed to skillfully avoid his forehead.

However, Chief Huang was genuinely frightened. He was half sober now, and his rationality returned. He wasn’t involved in any underworld activities either. Although he was wealthy, his family and business were significant to him, and his life was especially precious. He didn’t want the remaining knife to end up squarely on his forehead.

Now, he was carefully sizing up Yang Yi’s burly figure and slightly “ferocious” face, his heart pounding crazily.

“I don’t want anything! It’s just that you have already cut off this young man’s future, and now you’re forcing him to drink these six cups of vodka. Given the alcohol content of vodka, I estimate that he’d be half-dead, if not entirely dead. Don’t you think this is too much?” Yang Yi asked with a smile.

“So, what do you suggest we do?” Chief Huang gritted his teeth.

“I kindly ask Chief Huang to show some mercy for my sake. As I said, leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future!” Yang Yi cupped his hand across his chest and said in a very martial manner.

“Alright! For your sake, I’ll let this matter go,” Chief Huang stood up and called his companion, “Let’s go!”

These people seemed to be quite scared, but they acted tough. They left a sentence and slipped away quickly. Yang Yi did notice a detail. When Chief Huang left, his legs were still shaking, but for the sake of face, he forced himself to hold his composure.

When they left, Yang Yi turned to look at Boss Lei.

That Chief Huang probably won’t come to his place for consumption anymore. Boss Lei forced a smile and said to Yang Yi, “Thank you for helping us out.”

Whether he truly needed to be thankful, Yang Yi wasn’t sure. He just knew that with Boss Lei’s performance today, he should not embarrass Lin Mu’an anymore.

He left the fruit knife on the table, clapped his hands, and said to Boss Lei with a smile, “Alright, since the matter is resolved, I should also leave. Boss Lei, this knife is yours. I’ll leave it to you to handle the aftermath. I’m sorry for damaging the decoration of your bar.”

“No, no, it’s okay. Please walk slowly…” Boss Lei quickly nodded and bowed as he saw off Yang Yi.

Yang Yi left leisurely, but throughout the process, he never glanced at Lin Mu’an. It seemed as though he didn’t even know Lin Mu’an and had indeed intervened solely because he couldn’t stand injustice.
