Volume 1: Turbulent Era Chapter 19: Too Bullying (Part 1)

  What happened later in the courtyard, Fang Zidao was not clear. Yang Du was extremely angry and left with a flick of his sleeve. Fang Zidao immediately chased after him and didn't catch up until they had run out of the courtyard.

  "Xiaozi brother, the wound on your face..."

  "Ow......" Yang Du covered his face and took cold breaths, these two slaps were really quite ruthless, even his gums felt loose.

  "We'd better go find a doctor to take a look, this won't do. " Fang Zida hastily suggested, while turning his head to glance behind him, and hesitantly asked: "Brother Xi, shall we call the police over to handle it?"

  "No need, bother Brother Yingming to help me out and accompany me to the clinic." Yang Du's head was still a bit dizzy, but his expression, although angry, also had a hint of helplessness.

  Thinking of the scene just now, Fang Zidao asked tentatively: "Did you know that man Xia Zi earlier?"

  "How could I not know him!" Yang Du sneered.

  "Then who is this person......"

  "Who else could it be? The son of President Yuan, Yuan Keding, the eldest grandson of Yuan!"

  "It was him!" Fang Zidao suddenly realized, no wonder this cripple had such a big tone and his subordinates were so arrogant. After messing around for half a day, it turned out to be the first son of the Republic - Yuan Da Cripple. Since he was such an identity, it's no wonder that Yang Du was called Yang Shu Shu, and Yang Du's final abnormal behavior was also reasonable.

  The relationship between Yuan Shikai and Yang Duanwu was both a good friend and a master and servant. If it were someone else today, according to Yang's personality, he would have made a big deal out of it. But the one who caused trouble was Yuan Keding, which was not suitable for the relationship between Yang Duanwu and Yuan Shikai and his identity. He left in anger, but it wasn't that he was afraid of Yuan Keding, the key was still to save face for Yuan Shikai. Of course, this matter would not be settled so easily, how could Yang Duanwu tolerate such insult? If Yuan Keding didn't give him an explanation, the matter would never end.

  Accompanied Yang Du to a clinic, took some medicine and the swelling on his face subsided. To be on the safe side, Fang Zida sent Yang Du home after leaving the clinic. When they arrived near Yang Du's house, they saw Yuan Keding anxiously waiting at the door, pacing back and forth.

  "Mr. Yang, you're back...". As the carriage stopped, Yuan Keding hurried up to help Yang Du down from the carriage, but Yang Du didn't appreciate the gesture and coldly pushed his hand away, getting down himself, leaving Yuan Keding extremely embarrassed.

  "Yang Shu, I really didn't know it was you today! If I had known, even with the courage of a thunderbolt, I wouldn't have dared! It's all because I drank too much cat urine today and my subordinates are blind to talent. It's truly a case of not recognizing Mount Tai when seeing it. You're a magnanimous person, so...so..."

  "Hmph, what's it? Can't we just consider this matter settled?" Yang Du furrowed his brow and glared, laughing in extreme anger.

  "No, no, that's not it!" Yuan Keding forced a smile and said: "Can't my young nephew apologize to you? Look, this is my humble gift, and also... the good-for-nothing who offended you has been brought here, whether to kill or behead him is up to your decision."

  In the dark corner by the door, a bundle of wrapped-up pomegranates was thrown aside, with Wang Ge keeping watch. Yuan Keding pulled out several sheets of paper from his sleeve, and although the light was dim and it couldn't be clearly seen what they were, nine times out of ten they were either banknotes or IOUs: "Please forgive me this one time, uncle, don't tell my father..."

  " Bah! You still have the face to mention the great president!" Yang Du, who had just mentioned Yuan Shikai, suddenly became furious: "The great president was a hero for life, how could he raise such an unfilial son like you? If it weren't for me today, with your temper as Yuan's young master, wouldn't you have killed people and silenced them? What? You think you can buy me off with some stinky money? Haha! Do you think I, Yang Du, would compromise because of this? Tell you! You've miscalculated!"

  No more words, Yang Du stormed in with a fierce momentum, and Yuan Keding wanted to explain a few more sentences, but the door slammed shut with a loud bang, and even Fang Zida, who had sent Yang Du back, was inexplicably locked out.

  "Uncle! Uncle, open the door……! Ah!" After knocking and shouting twice, Yuan Keding shook his head in annoyance, turned around to glance at the bundled-up pomelo, and wished he could take out his knife and chop this troublesome thing into a million pieces.

  Seeing this scene, Fang Zidao also found it inconvenient to stay for long. Just as he was about to turn around and quietly leave, Yuan Keding suddenly noticed the person who had been with Yang Du all along. His eyes lit up, just like grasping a lifesaving straw, and he hastily pulled Fang Zidao over.

  "This gentleman, forgive me for being blunt, are you a good friend of Yang Shibo?"

  "In the lower part of Zida." Fang Zida smiled helplessly and bowed his hands to report his own name.

  "Fang Zida?" Yuan Keding looked him up and down, scratched his head in puzzlement, thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead and laughed: "I remember now, you're Fang Zida, Fang Xiangming!"

  "Does Yuan Dagezi know me?" Fang Zida was suddenly surprised, but he was very pleased in his heart. He didn't expect that even a young master like Yuan Keding would have heard of his name.

  "I knew it, I heard Liang Yifu mention it when we were drinking together the other day. After all, Song Dunru is a red person of KMT." Yuan Dagonzi laughed and said, Fang Zida repeatedly said that he didn't dare to be.

  "Brother Dengming, it's really a blessing for me to meet you today! When I first heard Liang Yifu mention Brother Dengming, I wanted to get to know him. Who would have thought that we'd run into each other so coincidentally? Haha, haha! Yuan Keding seemed very happy and didn't wait for Fang Zida to speak before continuing sincerely: "I don't know what's going on, but as soon as I saw Brother Dengming, I felt an unusual closeness. Tell me, is it because we had some kind of connection in our past lives?"

  This remark made Fang Zidao feel a chill, I spit! You, Yuan Dabigongzi, are not some kind of beauty, a crippled silk boy, who would have a predestined relationship with you in their past life?

  "Brother Dengming, look at what happened today... Hehe... Hehehe... It's really a case of 'a flood destroying the Dragon King Temple', where family members don't recognize each other! I was wrong, it's all my fault today! I've made Uncle Yang angry, so please, Brother Dengming, take into account Father's position and persuade him to calm down. I'm deeply grateful to you!" As he spoke, Yuan Keding clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect and repeatedly begged for forgiveness. Turning around, he pointed at the bound Liu Zi and cursed: "This blind dog! Even killing him wouldn't be satisfying, so I'll leave him for Brother Dengming to deal with as he sees fit! And these... please trouble Brother Dengming to buy some medicine or something to help Uncle Yang recover. This matter is all up to you, Brother Dengming. If it's successful, in the future, even if I have to go through fire and water, I won't hesitate!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, he grabbed the ticket and stuffed it into Fang Zidao's arms, then turned around with an incredible speed on his lame leg and ran away. Meanwhile, Wang Ge, who was watching over the pomelo, lifted one foot and kicked the pomelo over to Fang Zidao with a loud "whoosh", gave him a fist bump, and chased after Yuan Dabigongzi.
