Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 631 Incredibly Powerful
"Ouch! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Give me some time, and I will definitely pay you back."

Soon after, a wail came from the private room.

Standing to the side, You Fengxia watched as Li Huaide was beaten black and blue, and she couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Especially when those thugs gave her those malicious smirks, her face turned deathly pale.

Although she was quite frightened by Li Guoqiang when they were together before.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the whole process was still very enjoyable.

In comparison, if she had fallen into the hands of these street thugs, she would have truly suffered, feeling as if each day was an eternity.

Fortunately, their leader, Tiger, arrived not long after.

"Brother Tiger, Brother Tiger, you've finally arrived! I really don't know how that money disappeared! It just vanished in the blink of an eye!" Li Huaide hugged Brother Tiger's leg, crying and sobbing.

"Ha! Mr. Li, do you really think I'm a three-year-old? In broad daylight, you're telling me the money just disappeared? You're kidding me!"

Tiger grabbed Li Huaide's few remaining hairs, his face twitching, and his eyes widened like copper bells, making him look ferocious and frightening.

"No, I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask her!" Li Huaide became a little anxious upon seeing this, and then pointed to the great beauty You Fengxia.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Tiger's mind was completely blank; all he could think about was anxiety.

After all, he had scraped together 50 yuan from various sources.

If this money can't be recovered, then not only will he be unable to support so many henchmen and flaunt his power outside, but he might even lose his own life.

Thinking of the consequences, his face instantly darkened further. He then shoved Li Huaide's head away, pointed at You Fengxia, and angrily demanded, "Tell me, where did all that money go?"

"I...I don't know, I don't know anything. All I know is that as soon as those two people came into the private room, the money suddenly disappeared!" You Fengxia's heart trembled, and then she shook her head in a panic as she answered.

"Those two?" Tiger frowned, then turned his gaze to his trusted subordinate, Big Dog.

This big dog was the one who had tried to stop Li Guoqiang and Xu Damao earlier.

He saw Tiger's questioning look and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly stepped forward and whispered the story to Tiger.

"You mean, that young man crippled you with a single slap?" Tiger asked, his eyes narrowing with surprise and uncertainty.

“That’s right, otherwise I wouldn’t have let them leave like that.” The big dog nodded, a hint of fear showing on his face.

Keep in mind that he weighs at least 150 pounds.

When he faced Li Guoqiang, he not only failed to see Li Guoqiang's attack clearly, but before he could even react, Li Guoqiang slapped him and sent him flying.

That feeling of powerlessness was something he had never experienced before in his more than ten years in the industry.

In particular, the murderous intent in Li Guoqiang's eyes made him 100% certain that Li Guoqiang had killed people, and not just one or two.

"Where are they from? Have you found out?" Tiger pondered for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the big dog quickly nodded and replied:

"I asked around, and one of the older ones used to be a film projectionist at a steel mill. Now he has a construction team of five or six people under him, and he usually does small projects for people."

In addition, he sometimes joins them in doing some borderline business.

The other person, who looked quite young, who attacked me, was said to originally be from Beijing, but then accidentally joined a company in Hong Kong, stayed there for many years, and was recently reassigned to come here by the company.

Oh, by the way, their company headquarters is located at No. 99 Nanluoguxiang, I think.

"Are you sure it's No. 99 Nanluoguxiang? This place sounds so familiar to me," Tiger asked, frowning slightly.

As he was thinking, something suddenly occurred to him, his expression changed drastically, and he grabbed the big dog's arm, urgently asking, "Do you know what their company's name is?"

"This, it seems to be called Qiangsheng Group?" Big Dog paused slightly, then asked somewhat uncertainly.

"What? Qiangsheng Group? This is terrible." Upon hearing this, Tiger Brother broke out in a cold sweat.

"What's wrong? Tiger, do you know about this Qiangsheng Group?" Big Dog was puzzled by Tiger's reaction.

Upon hearing this, Tiger immediately began to scold him with a hint of disappointment:
"You big idiot, I always tell you to read the news more often, but you never do. Don't you know how powerful Qiangsheng Group is now?"
Moreover, I heard that the higher-ups have already spoken, saying that anyone who dares to mess with Qiangsheng Group will be in jail for the rest of their lives!

"No way! Is Qiangsheng Group really that powerful?" Big Dog was incredulous when he heard what Tiger said.

"Hmph! That's more than just amazing, it's downright amazing!" Tiger snorted, his face full of longing.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Qiangsheng Group invests trillions of US dollars into China every year is already enough to be astonishing.

Not to mention, the employees of Qiangsheng Group receive salaries that are more than three times higher than those in the same industry.

He had originally thought that one day he would have the opportunity to join Qiangsheng Group and become a member of the security company.

Unexpectedly, before even finding an opportunity, they had already offended the people from Qiangsheng Group.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked and angry he became. He suddenly turned around, walked up to Li Huaide, grabbed Li Huaide's collar, and angrily questioned him:

"You knew perfectly well that the other party was from Qiangsheng Group, yet you still dared to borrow money from me to swindle them. Are you trying to drag me down with you?"

"No, I don't know!" Li Huaide looked at Tiger with a blank expression, still a little confused.

In fact, he had heard about the Qiangsheng Group and had even asked someone for help in trying to get in touch with them.

Before anyone could reply, he had already fallen to Li Guoqiang. "You didn't know?" Upon hearing this, Tiger couldn't contain his anger and kicked Li Huaide to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Big Dog and his henchmen immediately joined in the fight, and some even tried to take down You Fengxia as well.

"Don't come any closer! I'm Young Master Li's woman. If he finds out you've bullied me, he definitely won't let you get away with it!" When You Fengxia saw someone rushing towards her, she was immediately terrified and her face paled. Then, a brilliant idea flashed through her mind, and she shouted loudly.

"Wait!" Tiger Brother's heart tightened when he heard You Fengxia's words, and he hurriedly stopped his underlings.

Immediately afterwards, he strode up to You Fengxia and asked in a deep voice, "The Young Master Li you just mentioned, is he the young man who works at Qiangsheng Group?"

“That’s right. I went out with him just a few days ago. If you dare to touch me, he will definitely not let you off the hook.” You Fengxia nodded and said earnestly.

Things have come to this point, and she can't care about anything else now. Even if Li Guoqiang doesn't acknowledge her as a person, she still has to put on the tiger skin first.

Otherwise, if she were insulted by Tiger's henchmen, she would never be able to face anyone again.

"Oh dear! Please forgive my poor eyesight for not seeing it. Please sit down, please sit down!" Tiger Brother immediately realized that this was an opportunity to get in touch with Li Guoqiang when he saw that You Fengxia was speaking in a very convincing manner. He also showed a flattering smile.

"Hmph!" Upon seeing this, You Fengxia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then snorted softly and walked to sit down on a chair to the side.

“Um, Miss You, I'm sorry you were frightened just now. But no matter what, it’s only right to pay back debts. How about we call that Young Master Li over and discuss how to resolve this?” Tiger walked up to You Fengxia and asked with a kind and amiable expression.

"I...I don't have his contact information." You Fengxia panicked for a moment, then said with a straight face.

After she finished speaking, she saw that Tiger's expression had changed, so she quickly added, "But I know where he lives, and I can take you to see him now."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you!" Tiger's expression immediately brightened upon hearing this.

Then, he gave Big Dog and the others a look, signaling them to keep a close eye on You Fengxia to prevent her from escaping if they weren't careful.

"Brother Tiger, what do you think we should do with him?" Upon seeing this, Big Dog immediately pointed to Li Huaide, who was lying on the ground unable to move after being beaten, and asked softly.

"Him? Take him with you too." Tiger's eyes narrowed, and he gave a deep order before leading You Fengxia out of the private room, preparing to visit Li Guoqiang's home.

However, before they could even go downstairs, a waiter from the restaurant came over somewhat nervously and asked them to pay the bill.

Tiger was furious when he saw this, and he even had the urge to kill Li Huaide.

However, just as he said, it is only right to pay back debts, and it is also only right to pay for a meal.

Besides, nothing was more important than finding Li Guoqiang right now, so in the end he paid for the meal out of his own pocket.

Just as their group of more than a dozen people were heading to Nanluoguxiang in cars, bicycles and other means of transportation, Li Guoqiang and Xu Damao had already returned to the courtyard house.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Damao couldn't help but ask, "Um, did they really bring the money tonight?"

“They must have brought it! Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in such a hurry, right?” Li Guoqiang nodded and replied immediately.

"What about the money? How did it disappear?" Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"You really want to know? How about I let you experience it?" Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow and then teased him in a somewhat mischievous way.

"No, no, no, I'd rather not!" Xu Damao was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

Because he didn't want to disappear suddenly like that money.

"Here! This is your tea money for tonight!" Li Guoqiang was delighted to see Xu Damao's reaction, and then casually took out a wad of banknotes from his bag and threw them into Xu Damao's arms.

"No, I've already taken so much, I can't take this money!" Xu Damao glared, then hurriedly returned the money to Li Guoqiang.

After all, he hadn't done anything tonight, and he didn't even know how the money disappeared. How could he possibly accept the money now?

"Alright, then be careful during this time, don't let anyone kill you if you're not careful!" Li Guoqiang saw that Xu Damao was unwilling to accept the money, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and then he nodded and gave him some advice.

"It's alright. I'll take the workers with me when I go out these next few days. There definitely won't be any problems," Xu Damao said confidently.

In his view, Li Huaide and You Fengxia are now so indebted that they can barely take care of themselves, how could they possibly have the time and energy to take revenge on him!

Moreover, even if they wanted to retaliate against him, with the construction team around, it's hard to say who would retaliate against whom!

"Okay, then there's nothing else, you can go back now!" Seeing that Xu Damao had already made up his mind, Li Guoqiang didn't worry about it too much and simply waved his hand, indicating that Xu Damao could go back.

"No, we haven't eaten yet! How about I go and get some dishes, and we can have a few drinks together?" Xu Damao immediately offered with a fawning expression when he heard Li Guoqiang trying to kick them out.

After this incident, he became even more convinced that only by following Li Guoqiang could he have a future.

If he weren't a grown man, he probably would have offered himself up right now.

"With your cooking skills? Forget it!" Li Guoqiang rolled his eyes, his face full of disdain.

"How about I go to a restaurant outside and get some dishes?" Xu Damao looked at it and immediately scratched his head awkwardly.

After saying that, seeing that Li Guoqiang did not object, he hurriedly stood up and walked outside.

However, when he returned from the Chunfeng Restaurant with his food, he ran into Brother Hu and You Fengxia and their group right at the gate of the courtyard.

"Brother Tiger, this is Xu Damao!" As soon as You Fengxia saw Xu Damao, she immediately looked like she had seen a savior.

"You Fengxia, what are you trying to do?" Xu Damao's heart tightened when he saw the dozen or so burly men standing behind Tiger, as well as Li Huaide, who had been beaten black and blue. He then angrily questioned them.

At the same time, he was also wondering to himself whether Li Guoqiang could actually defeat so many people.
