Chapter 49 Who Made The First Move
The entire auction site was as quiet as a tomb, and it seemed that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard by everyone.
Pairs of eyes with strange gazes kept wandering between Zhang Yi and Zhao Xi, many people even revealing playful smiles, eagerly anticipating something to happen between the two.
There's a saying: when a dog bites you, there's medicine for it; but when a person bites you, there's no cure.
Zhang Yi was furious, feeling that he had been bitten by a despicable thing, and his heart was filled with disgust and nausea.
Hong Zhang said casually, "Zhang Yi, good medicine can't cure a resentful disease, and good words can't advise a muddled person. You're not muddled, you're even smarter than anyone else, able to take things up and put them down, this is the true temperament of a man."
"I understand."
Zhang Yi took a deep breath, controlled his emotions and nodded slowly.
Zhao Xi stepped down from his seat with an air of superiority, walked to the row of chairs where Zhang Yi was sitting on the left side, and glanced at Zhang Yi with a scornful look. He sneered: "You don't have money but still want to pretend to be a big shot? Aren't you ashamed? In this day and age, only those with money and power can afford the things they desire! Some people can only watch with envy."
After finishing speaking, he flipped off Zhang Yi and swaggered towards the backstage.
Zhang Yi's mind once again emerged with the words his master had said before: no matter what price to pay, must get the soil spider grass.
At what cost?
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Zhang Yi had already made a secret decision in his heart.
The next eight precious medicinal materials to be auctioned off were, as Hong Zhanggu said, each worth over 10 million, and Zhang Yi looked at them with envy, but had no ability to buy.
"Zhang Yi, the auction of medicinal materials has ended. Are you ready to leave?" asked Hong Zhanggui with a smile as he stood up.
As the saying goes: When people encounter happy events, their spirits are lifted.
He bought a piece of Kirin grass, and finally put down more than half of his heart disease, so he can be said to be relaxed all over now.
"Uh-huh, I need to hurry back."
His gaze shifted from Boss Hong to Zhao Xi, who was not far away and made a throat-slitting gesture towards him. Watching him turn around and walk away, he suddenly became furious.
Hong Zhanggu turned his head, took a glance at Zhao Xi's back, and sighed silently in his heart. He opened his mouth to ask: "In the future, if I want to find you, where should I go?"
Zhang Yi said: "I will go to Jingnan University Medical College in September, and you also have my mobile phone number. If I change my number when I arrive in Jingnan City, I will tell you the new one."
Boss Hong nodded and said: "Alright then, I won't keep you here!"
Farewell to Hong Zhanggui, Zhang Yi followed the crowd and walked out of the medicinal material market. Originally, he had planned to hide in a secluded place near the medicinal material market and wait for Zhao Xi to come out, then think of ways to get that Tu Wu Cao. However, he keenly discovered that a sneaky young man was secretly following him with ulterior motives.
Medicine market.
In a remote street corner, Zhao Xi had a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth as he gazed at the six robust young men before him. He sneered coldly: "Meng Zi's efficiency is quite good; you guys actually arrived so quickly. But where is Meng Zi himself?"
A young man with a flattering expression said: "Xī gē, Měng zǐ gē has some private matters to deal with, but he will rush over soon. One of our brothers is already following that little brat, Xī gē, don't worry, that little brat will definitely be miserable."
Zhao Xi nodded slowly and said: "Have you chosen a good place to start?"
The young man nodded and smiled: "I've chosen. It's at a construction site near the medicine market. However, we need Brother Xi to lure him over."
Zhao Xi picked up the black leather suitcase on the ground, nodded and said: "Let's go, if I don't beat that kid until he cries out for his father and mother and kneels down to beg for mercy today, I won't be able to vent my anger."
He is a noble in Jingnan City, but his brother has some good friends in Zhouzhuang City. During the auction, he contacted his brother, so the local snake, called Mengzi, sent over seven brothers to listen to Zhao Xi's arrangement.
Forty-five minutes later.
Zhao Xi appeared in front of Zhang Yi, with that cold smile, and made a fist. He sneered: "You little brat, those who have ever offended me have never had a good ending. And you, today you made me spend an extra 100 million, I'm not happy about it at all. Follow me, I'll use my fists to teach you a lesson."
Zhang Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The common saying goes: "After searching everywhere and getting nowhere, it comes easily without any effort."
He had originally planned to find Zhao Xi, but unexpectedly this guy appeared in front of him and even wanted him to follow him. Even if he was foolish, he should have known that the other had brought some helpers.
However!
Because his body's vital energy increased greatly, the explosive power he could unleash was even stronger, and his movements were also more agile, so he wasn't afraid at all.
"Lead the way!"
Zhang Wei showed a barefooted and fearless attitude towards wearing shoes, saying angrily.
Zhao Xi gave Zhang Yi a thumbs up and sneered: "You've got guts!"
After finishing speaking, he picked up his suitcase and turned around to walk away into the distance.
In the messy construction site, for some reason, there were no workers working, and not even a single person was here. A young man in his thirties, wearing a leather jacket, with boxing gloves on his hands, sat on a motorcycle smoking.
He was Mengzi who had just rushed here and reunited with his brothers.
"Big brother, they're here."
A young man with red-dyed long hair said in a low voice.
Mengzi turned his head towards the entrance of the construction site, and a cold smile flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said: "Wait for me to beat you up later! The Zhao Group has some power in Jinan City. If we can't make it here in the future, running to Jinan City to join them might be a good choice. So, this is your chance to perform well in front of Young Master Zhao."
"Yes!"
Seven robust young men revealed a ferocious intention in their eyes.
Zhang Yi, who was following Zhao Xi, also clearly saw the seven or eight people not far away. His footsteps suddenly stopped, and he coldly snorted: "What do you mean? Didn't you say you were going to teach me a lesson with your fists? Why did you still find helpers?"
Zhao Xi rolled her eyes, just about to speak, when she felt a blow to the right side of her face. In a daze, she felt herself being knocked to the ground with a loud thud.
"I make you arrogant, I make you oppose me, I let you rely on your wealth and power to commit evil."
Zhang Yi's fists rained down on Zhao Xi's face and body as he rushed to his side, not even sparing a glance at the crowd rushing towards them from a distance.
"You think you can take advantage of me? You're still too young for that! Do you have money? Having money isn't everything! Dare to rob me, are you tired of living?"
He was extremely angry in his heart, so he also struck with particular viciousness.
"Ow...... stop hitting me......"
"I'm Cao, damn it..."
"Ow! Damn it... Stop hitting me..."
Zhao Xi never dreamed that he just wanted to bring Zhang Yi over, let Mengzi and others get rid of Zhang Yi, and humiliate him severely. He didn't expect Zhang Yi to make the first move, and it was by sneak attack.
That big fist of the sand pot, hit him so painful that he could hardly bear it, and even felt that his nasal bone was smashed, and at least several bones on his body were broken.
One cry of despair after another, one wail of grief after another.
Zhao Xi was like a delicate little woman being bullied by several big men, it's really pitiful.
"TMD, stop messing with me."
The fierce warrior at the forefront had a glint of cold light in his eyes, and the machete that slipped out of his sleeve was also raised high by him.
Zhang Yi's sudden attack left him unprepared, and he watched helplessly as Zhao Xi was beaten. He felt as if he had been slapped several times himself.
Earlier, he had solemnly promised Zhao Xi's brother over the phone that he would absolutely not let Zhao Xi suffer any harm on his turf, but the scene before him of Zhao Xi being brutally beaten made him so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
Zhang Yi completely ignored Meng's angry roar, although he reserved his strength, but those punches still made Zhao Xi cry out in pain, wailing incessantly.
"Kill him for me!"
Mengzi saw that Zhang Yi completely ignored him, and his anger in his heart grew even more intense, shouting loudly.
Finally!
Zhang Yi stopped beating Zhao Xi, looked at the sturdy young man who had rushed in front of him, stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Xi's body, and with all his might, fiercely slammed him onto Meng Zi's face, which had greatly changed.
As the two bodies rolled into a ball, Zhang Yi took a step back and dodged a chopping knife, punching the young man's cheek.
If it were said that these young people were martial artists, even if Zhang Yi beat them up, he might not have been able to get away with it, but they weren't.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nowadays Zhang Yi is no longer a novice in fighting, so relying on his strong strength and sharp speed, he easily knocks down others.
"Zhao Xi, are you okay?"
A carp jumped up from the ground and quickly grabbed Zhao Xi, anxiously asking.
Zhao Xi's originally somewhat handsome face had transformed into a pig head, with a blue nose and swollen cheeks. The corners of his mouth and nostrils were still stained with fresh blood. When he opened his mouth to speak, a mouthful of bloody water spurted out, accompanied by two large teeth.
Zhang Yi walked towards them, coldly smiling and saying: "He's not dead yet, but it's hard to say what will happen next."
Mengzi let go of Zhao Xi, stood up suddenly, and picked up the machete with a flick of his wrist. A hint of shock appeared in his eyes as he looked at all the brothers who had been knocked to the ground. He finally realized that this time he had met a tough opponent.
"Damn it, Zhao Xi, damn it, Zhao Tao! You two brothers have provoked this bastard, how can he be so fierce? This is not a trap for me!"
He cursed in his heart, but at this time he couldn't afford to retreat, and fiercely pounced on Zhang Yi.
A whip-like kick landed on Mengzi's face, sending him flying several meters away, heavily slamming onto the ground. Zhang Yi was like a shadow, swiftly chasing after him, his hands grasping Mengzi's waist, lifting him up over his head and ruthlessly smashing him into the brick wall seven or eight meters away.
Bang...
Mengzi's body heavily slammed into the wall and then slid to the ground, fainting away.
"Heavens! Is this still human?"
Struggling to get up from the ground, Zhao Xi looked at the scene in front of him, his body suddenly stiffening with terror.
