Starting from the pharmacy, he grew into a martial saint among men.

Upon hearing Chu Hong's words, the man immediately fell silent.

Even the powerful Zhang Yang couldn't win; if he went up there, he would probably only need one move to make Zhang Yang kneel down and beg for mercy.

But he remained silent, while Zhang Yang, filled with resentment, stared at Chu Hong with intense hatred:

"Chu Hong, you just wait, this isn't over!"

He turned and glared at Shi Lin, speaking fiercely:

"Shi Lin, let me say it again: if your Dawei Escort Agency doesn't agree to our conditions, don't even think about transporting goods properly."

After making those harsh remarks, Zhang Yang hurriedly led his men away, looking somewhat disheveled.

The onlookers rubbed their eyes one by one.

Zhang Yang, who had been completely dominant and arrogant in just a few moves, was defeated just like that.

Even a broken arm might disqualify someone from pursuing a career in martial arts.

How can anyone accept this?

Back at the escort agency, the group began discussing their next steps.

Chu Hong pondered and said, "The Tianshui Escort Agency has the Hong Family Martial Arts School backing it up. Although Zhang Yang has retreated, they will definitely not let this go."

"Brother Shilin, when do we have a shipment to transport?"

Shi Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Two days from now, there is a shipment to Linshui County."

"It seems we'll have to resolve this within two days." Chu Hong frowned.

The most direct way to resolve this within two days is to spread the news of Shi Potian's recovery.

The crisis resolved itself.

But in that case, we wouldn't be able to see the scheming and machinations behind their actions.

He had even less reason to secretly investigate the Tianshui Escort Agency.

There needs to be a solution that satisfies both sides.

Suddenly, Chu Hong's eyes lit up.

"Brother Shilin, do you think this is feasible? We'll arrange for someone to go and shout in front of the Tianshui Escort Agency."

"Just say things like that the Tianshui Escort Agency was slinked away today and was humiliated in front of the Dawei Escort Agency, to provoke them into taking action sooner."

Chu Hong's actions were intended to provoke the Tianshui Escort Agency.

By using public opinion and reputation to disrupt the opponent's plans and accelerate their schemes, we can create an opportunity to find a breakthrough.

Shi Lin was somewhat worried and said:

"If we directly send people to shout and promote, it will inevitably make people feel that we are confident and that they will not fall for our tricks."

That makes sense.

Such sudden confidence is bound to arouse suspicion.

Chu Hong thought for a moment, then turned to Zhou Sanhe: "In that case, I'll trouble Chief Zhou to arrange for the gang members to spread this message."

"Let the whole city know about their shameful deeds, so we can clear our names."

Actually, even without Chu Hong's trick, the whole city would know, but it would take much longer.

Chu Hong couldn't wait; he needed to find clues within two days, so he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

Zhou Sanhe nodded and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Brother Chu, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away!"

In just one hour, the news that the Tianshui Escort Agency had failed in its provocation and was instead soundly defeated spread throughout the city.

With the manipulation of certain individuals, the rumors have become increasingly outrageous.

Zhang Yang's ancestral pouch was crushed by Chu Hong's claw, thus ending the lineage of the Tianshui Escort Agency.

The head of the Tianshui Escort Agency was sent out, but he was seriously injured by Chu Hong's kick.

The senior disciple of the Hong family martial arts school went to hold the fort, but he was defeated by Chu Hong in less than three moves.

A mix of true and false information reached the Tianshui Escort Agency, infuriating Zhang Yang and his team.

Zhang Dawei, the head of the escort agency, grabbed Zhang Yang and gave him a good scolding.

"Look what you've done! You can't even beat Chu Hong. What use are you?"

"Father, it's not that I couldn't beat him, it's just that he's as slippery as a mouse and uses tricks. I was caught off guard..."

Zhang Yang, with bandages wrapped around his arm, defended himself with an agitated expression.

Although I just used a healing pill, it's not a miracle drug after all.

It will take more than ten days for the broken bone to heal.

The only option now is to keep it immobilized to prevent further damage.

"Alright, no need to say more. The news has spread throughout the city, which is a huge blow to the reputation of our Tianshui Escort Agency. We must deal with it as soon as possible."

Zhang Yang's eyes darted around, and he spoke sharply:

"Father, let Huang Cheng get revenge for us. Didn't he say he didn't want to be a bodyguard anymore? Let him fight this one more time."

"Outrageous!" Zhang Dawei shouted angrily. "Huang Cheng has fought for our escort agency for so many years, how can you betray him like this?"

Zhang Dawei knew why Zhang Yang had specifically named Huang Cheng.

However, a few years ago, Zhang Yang tried to do something bad to a farm girl while on a delivery mission, but Huang Cheng stopped him.

Her own son was vindictive and always targeted her.

He tried to educate him many times but to no avail, which was truly frustrating.

"Father, he's so strong, you should let him go. We can't let a newly joined bodyguard go."

"That's their old employer; they can't bring themselves to do it."

"Only Huang Cheng is the most obedient and easiest to control, and he's also very strong, so you can send him. Otherwise... let the Hong family martial arts school send someone."

Zhang Dawei thought for a while and decided that he couldn't go to the Hong Family Martial Arts School for the time being.

After all, if he can bring out the Hong Family Martial Arts School, then Chu Hong can bring out the Chengfeng Martial Arts School.

The two families got into a fight, which then alarmed the county government and other relevant parties.

Their own plans would fall through.

Currently, we can only rely on the resources of our own security escort agency.

If all else fails, it's not too late to try the Hung Family Martial Arts School.

"Alright! Let Huang Cheng go and do this last thing for us."

Chu Hong hadn't been waiting long at Dawei Escort Agency when he noticed that the area outside the agency was bustling again.

The group quickly left the escort agency.

Zhang Yang stood on the ring again, his expression still arrogant despite the ribbon around his neck and his arm in a sling.

"Chu Hong, you think you're so tough? Come on up here! Hit me again!"

Having said that, he impatiently waved his hand downwards:

"Huang Cheng, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and come up. Do you still want to get your daughter treated?"

"Hurry up, finish this match, take the silver and you can leave."

At Zhang Yang's call, a thin man with tattered, black clothes and a weary expression stepped onto the stage.

Even from a distance, Chu Hong could smell a pungent, sour odor.

This surprised him; how could the Tianshui Escort Agency have such a person?

Below, Shi Lin explained in a low voice, "That's Huang Cheng, a top-notch escort from the Tianshui Escort Agency."

"But Zhang Yang doesn't like him. Now he's probably letting him play one last match since he's about to leave."

Chu Hong frowned as he looked at Huang Cheng, who appeared dejected and unwilling.

This person looks to be only in his thirties or forties, how come he's so unkempt?

Over there, Zhang Yang was already quite impatient:

"What are you dawdling about? Do you still want to save your daughter?"

"Go now and kill him!"

Chu Hong's heart stirred. It seemed that this man was bent over by his daughter's illness and had no choice but to come to the arena to fight.

Seeing Huang Cheng's appearance, Chu Hong suddenly spoke, his voice echoing throughout the entire venue.

"Master Huang, since you're only here to fight for your daughter's medical treatment..."

"Let's make a deal. If you join the Dawei Escort Agency, we'll cover all the money you need to treat your daughter, how about that?"

Huang Cheng's body trembled, and he looked up at Chu Hong, his eyes gleaming.

"Are you serious?!"

Chu Hong declared confidently, "Dawei Escort Agency keeps its promises!"

Huang Cheng clenched his fists tightly, swallowed hard, looked at Chu Hong, then at Zhang Yang, his face showing a conflicted expression.

On one side is his former employer who bullies him at will, but has been kind to him. If he fights this battle, the employer will give him money to go and cure his daughter.

On one hand, there's a new employer who's willing to generously treat her daughter and free her from her illness; they're willing to pay her as long as she agrees to join.

Both sides are good, but he also has worries in his heart.

He worried that his former employer was deceiving him again, holding onto his money and preventing him from leaving.

He also worried that the new employer's promises were false, made to suppress Tianshui Escort Agency, and that he might lose everything if he went there rashly.

Thinking about it this way, I found it difficult to make a decision for a moment.

Chu Hong also saw Huang Cheng's struggle.

He gestured to Shi Lin, indicating that they needed to offer some tangible benefits.

Shi Lin nodded and took out a silver note: "Master Huang, as long as you come to Dawei Escort Agency, this silver note will be given to you immediately!"

"All the elders and villagers present can testify to this!"
