Chapter 186 Ma Rulong, Liang Kuan, take him down!
These words plunged the entire inn lobby into an eerie silence.
Everyone was stunned, and they all subconsciously followed Chen Wen's words.
Yes, these gangs usually run rampant, relying on their numbers and ruthlessness to bully the weak and vulnerable ordinary people.
Now it's their turn to be suppressed by someone with even greater power, and it seems—that's indeed the case?
Ou Xinhu opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found himself speechless for a moment.
His survival logic in the underworld is that the strong prey on the weak, and whoever has the bigger fist is right.
Now, the other party is using the logic he knows best to retaliate against him, and he is speechless.
Ma Rulong and the others showed expressions of understanding and satisfaction.
That's right! We're not bullying people; we're giving them a taste of their own medicine and eliminating a scourge for the people!
Many guards nodded in agreement, agreeing with Sir Chen's assessment.
Thinking of this, a hint of pride began to appear on the faces of these men.
Chen Wen's gaze swept coldly over them, his tone suddenly turning sharp: "What's there to be happy about, you lot? Hmm?"
He pointed at the groaning men of Ou Xinhu on the ground, then at Ou Xinhu himself, whose face was ashen: "The common people are a disorganized mob, bullied by them because they are weak, ignorant, and unable to unite! But who are you?!"
"You outnumber these gangsters by a significant margin! Your weapons are far superior!"
"And the result?!"
"You've allowed this bunch of scoundrels to run rampant in Sai Wan, bullying men and women, and plundering the people's wealth!"
"Even," he glanced at Zhen Sanhuan, whose expression was shifting, "some people are even colluding with them!"
"It is the people's misfortune to be bullied!"
"But to stand idly by while those of you who are supposed to protect them, or even to collude with them, is a disgrace to you!"
"Instead of reflecting on why they failed to fulfill their responsibilities and eradicate these scourges, they're gloating here because their fists are bigger than the gangsters?"
"Don't you feel ashamed? You have no shame!"
These words immediately wiped away the slight smugness on the faces of Ma Rulong and the others.
Instead, there was astonishment, shame, and deep reflection.
Ma Rulong's face flushed red and then turned pale, feeling extremely guilty.
He wanted to say that he was too busy chasing down those big pirates to deal with the gang, but he himself felt that this reason was untenable.
Are ordinary people just meant to be bullied?
He had previously refuted Chen Wen with grand principles, but now he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
All I could do was grit my teeth and clench my fists.
Lu Huiguang, Lin Guobin, and several other constables who originally followed Zhen Sanhuan all lowered their heads and avoided eye contact.
They may not have directly committed evil deeds, but over the years they have watched Ou Xinhu and his gang run rampant in Sai Wan, turning a blind eye to their actions after receiving bribes.
Now that Chen Wen has torn away this fig leaf in front of me, I feel a little guilty.
Only Zhen Sanhuan, though outwardly expressionless, inwardly sneered.
Anyone can say nice things.
He climbed to this position for power and money, not to be a benevolent ruler for the people.
Whether the West Ring area is chaotic or not, what does it have to do with him?
"Haaaaaah!"
Ou Xinhu suddenly laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm.
"Sir Chen, your words are truly high-sounding! Protecting the people? Fulfilling your duty? Easier said than done!"
"If everyone were as clear-headed and united as you say, would there still be any bullying in the world?"
"Can those foreign warships and cannons really sail into our waters?"
"Could mites have enslaved China for over two hundred years?"
"Big principles are utterly useless!"
Chen Wen turned to him, his face expressionless. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "I know."
"Everyone understands the principle, but just talking about it is useless."
"So, aren't I doing it? And I'm not the only one doing it. There are always other people in this world trying their best."
"I don't expect you to be of any help. Just don't cause trouble or hold us back, and I'll be thankful."
His tone shifted abruptly, his gaze suddenly sharpening as he pierced Ou Xinhu, then swept over Zhen Sanhuan and the others: "Unfortunately, what you're doing now is just dragging things down. So, I have no choice but to come and wake you up."
Ou Xinhu was stunned at first, then it was as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.
"You? Trying? You're a knighted servant to foreigners, and you say you're trying?"
"What are you trying to do? Try to help those foreign lords manage their territory and collect more taxes? Or try to make enough money so you can pack your bags and leave at any time?"
"Hey Chen, stop putting on airs!"
His outburst sent a jolt through many in the lobby.
Ma Rulong suddenly looked up and stared at Chen Wen again, his gaze filled with scrutiny and doubt.
This newly arrived superior is unpredictable in his abilities, sharp in his words, and even more unfathomable in his actions.
What exactly does he mean by "effort"?
Zhen Sanhuan's eyes twitched slightly, and his heart beat a few beats faster.
Accusing Chen Wen of having ulterior motives? Without any evidence, these few ambiguous statements are not enough to touch a knight highly regarded by foreigners. In fact, you might end up getting dealt with first.
But if—if this guy really does have another identity, hiding a shocking secret, then getting close to him now would bring benefits in the future—
Zhen Sanhuan's breathing quickened for a moment, and he quickly lowered his eyelids to hide the calculation in his eyes.
Chen Wen took in everyone's reactions and stopped wasting his breath.
He raised his hand and shouted, "Liang Kuan, Ma Rulong, take him down!"
"yes!"
Without any hesitation, Liang Kuan pushed off with his feet and charged towards Ou Xinhu, his fist whistling through the air.
Although Ma Rulong's mind was in turmoil.
But the order had been given. He suppressed his surging blood and qi, his eyes flashed, and in coordination with Liang Kuan's attack, he spun around from the right and went straight for Ou Xinhu!
"To bully the weak with numbers, shameless!"
Ou Xinhu's pupils shrank sharply, and he cursed angrily, but he had no choice but to be on high alert.
In a one-on-one fight, he was not afraid of Ma Rulong, and he was even confident of winning against the imposing Liang Kuan.
But when the two work together, the pressure is completely different!
Neither of these two is easy to deal with!
In the blink of an eye, the attack was upon them.
With a low shout, Liang Kuan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead delivered a powerful straight punch straight to Liang Kuan's chest. The punch was heavy and carried a faint sound of air being torn apart, indicating that he intended to meet the punch head-on!
Ou Xinhu dared not be careless, and with a deep shoulder and a powerful punch, he met the attack head-on.
boom!
The fists clashed together, producing a dull thud.
Ou Xinhu felt a jolt in his arm. The force of the opponent's fist was so strong that his plan to stay put was thwarted, and he staggered.
At the same time, Ma Rulong's attack had already arrived silently.
A tricky hook punch swept towards Ou Xinhu's right ribs, fast and ruthless!
Ou Xinhu reacted extremely quickly, using the force of his punch against Liang Kuan to sidestep and narrowly avoid Ma Rulong's fist. His left leg swept like a whip towards Ma Rulong's lower body.
Ma Rulong seemed to have anticipated this, and with a slight shift in his footing, he nimbly retreated, just in time to avoid the kick.
Liang Kuan's next attack followed immediately, a side kick that followed like a shadow, blocking the center of Ou Xinhu's body as he kicked out!
"What great teamwork!"
Lu Huiguang, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but gasp.
These two guys, who had only known each other for a short time, coordinated perfectly, one attacking and the other disrupting, one using orthodox and the other unorthodox tactics, as if they had practiced a thousand times before.
Why do they fight like brothers?
