"You! Roll up your pant leg!"
The deep shout startled Ah Cheng.
Ah Cheng didn't purposely refuse to roll up his pant leg; it was because the wound that got cut was sticking to the fabric due to sweat. Now, any slight movement would cause a tearing pain.
So...
Forcing a bitter smile, Ah Cheng tried to explain to the man, "Big brother, my leg got injured, and it's..."
"Roll it up!" The man cut in immediately, not giving Ah Cheng a chance to finish his sentence.
Seeing the man's rude and arrogant attitude, how could Wang Qiang tolerate it any longer?
However, given the lingering pressure from Hu Xiaodong's earlier scolding on the truck, Wang Qiang suppressed his anger.
He took a deep breath to calm his temper a bit, then slowly walked to the front of the factory building. As he walked, he said, "Hey! Big brother! Could you be a bit reasonable? My friend already explained it clearly to you, his leg is hurt, you don't have to be so heartless!"
The man's eyes shifted slightly, sizing up Wang Qiang with a look full of disdain, as if to say, "Why don't you let me be in peace!"
Uncontrollably, Wang Qiang's mouth twitched twice; this almost touched Wang Qiang's bottom line, but the man didn't care at all and glared at Wang Qiang, then pointed in Ah Cheng's direction, commanding word by word, "You! Roll up the pant pocket!"
"You!" Wang Qiang's fist clenched tightly, his chest starting to heave heavily.
As the volcano was about to erupt, Ah Cheng quickly stepped over and blocked in front of Wang Qiang: "Haha, Brother Qiang, it's okay, it's okay, he just wants to look at my leg, it's not a big deal, I will show him!"
Teeth clenched tightly, Ah Cheng spoke while bending over to roll up the corner of his pant leg, then yanked it upward with a speed as fast as lightning.
And as he swiftly pulled it up, a clear tearing sound of flesh and skin came from where the pant leg stuck. Instantly, it made his back shiver, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.
Blood, dark red, seeped out like a flood breaking through a dam with nothing to block it. In just a moment, Ah Cheng's delicate knee was dyed red.
His brows furrowed suddenly; the man showed no sympathy for Ah Cheng's severe leg injury. On the contrary, from his expression at the moment, he seemed very...
With a flick of his finger to the side, the man spoke coldly without any hesitation: "You! Stand over there!"
"Wait! Ah Cheng! Don't go over there!" Without letting him speak, Wang Qiang grabbed Ah Cheng's arm and pulled him behind him.
Anger, uncontrollable anger! Without a doubt, Wang Qiang's rage had been pushed to the limit by the man's "insolent" attitude, believing that even if Hu Xiaodong appeared now, it might be hard to quell his fury.
"Who the hell do you think you are?! Really think you're hot stuff!" Regardless of everything, Wang Qiang's principle in arguing and fighting was: if he moved, he must absolutely suppress the enemy in terms of momentum, so...
"Damn it, you were the ones who asked us to come here! Now that we're here, you're messing with us like this and that! What do you take us for? Monkeys to be toyed with? Damn, we've cooperated enough! We queued when told to queue! We submitted for inspection when told to! Handed over weapons when required! What more do you want? Look at my brother, didn't we tell you he was injured? And you still make him lift it! What, does forcing others thrill you? Do you feel proud bullying the weak..."
"What the fuck are you saying!" It wasn't clear which sentence struck a nerve with the man, causing him, who was only frowning and listening, to suddenly leap up as if pricked in the backside: "Bastard! Who are you calling a bully!"
Regrettably, when Wang Qiang argued with someone, his single-mindedness caused him to selectively ignore the other person's words, so the man's retort was like air to the immersed Wang Qiang.
Without any fear, Wang Qiang continued on his own: "Don't look at me like that! I'm telling you! Others might be afraid, but I'm not scared! You think you've conquered a hilltop and you're the king? Go on and play by yourself! I'm asking you now, are you the one surnamed... oh, right! Surnamed Lin? But looking at your sorry look, no bearing! No grace! At best, just someone's watchdog! Oh, no, not even a dog! At least dogs know not to block the way..."
"Goddamn it!"
"Bang~" The iron gate rattled as the man slapped it in anger.
Seeing the two sides on the brink of violence, Tang Xiaoquan dared not be negligent, quickly stepping forward to intervene, as he needed to stabilize the situation before it worsened further.
First, he reached out to hold back Wang Qiang, whispering a few words in his ear, then he signaled Wei Yang to get back to the vehicle to bandage Ah Cheng's wound.
After doing all this, Tang Xiaoquan took a deep breath, then wore a humble smile that even made him sick.
"Ha ha ha~" The creepy laughter made one's hair stand on end, as Tang Xiaoquan turned around and said in a friendly manner: "Big brother, please calm down! My brother here has a bit of a bad temper, having just seen a companion like that, he might not have controlled his emotions well, so please forgive him! How about..."
In fact, despite appearing smooth-talking, it was indeed Tang Xiaoquan who had quietly stopped Hu Xiaodong and others from stepping in when Wang Qiang erupted earlier.
Why did he do this? The reasoning was quite simple.
To put it simply, two words: "Establish authority!"
Yes! Tang Xiaoquan wanted to use Wang Qiang's outburst to give the man a warning because from the series of events that had happened, it was clear the man was overly dominant, not giving their side any chance to explain or speak.
And this would be very disadvantageous for their future lives.
After all, as the saying goes, man is liable to oppression if he is too good-natured, and good horses get ridden. When you overly accommodate someone, not only will the other side not see your kindness, but they will also exploit your compliance, bossing you around, and even insulting you.
Therefore, Tang Xiaoquan intended to use Wang Qiang's "explosion" to show them that their side was definitely not the pushover they could easily manipulate before joining this new group!
And just as Tang Xiaoquan's calculated plans seemed to be going well, a thick and deep voice suddenly came from inside the factory area: "Dazhuang! What's happening outside? Why is it so noisy!"
