As the evening drew to a close, the lackey, Fu Chen, knelt before Tang Yan, his face pale and trembling. "Can I leave now? My parents must be worried about me, please."
Tang Yan's expression remained stern. "What's your name?"
"I-I'm Fu Chen," he stuttered.
Tang Yan's gaze narrowed. "You have a nice name, but a shitty character. Stay away from Yan Fan tomorrow, or you might get caught up in what's going to happen. Also, get me the list of upper-class gang members and violent students by tomorrow noon."
Fu Chen nodded earnestly, his eyes wide with fear and respect.
After escorting Madam Shu home, Tang Yan headed back to his own residence. As he approached, he saw his younger brother's face bruised, surrounded by a group of thugs and hoodlums, including Brother Ma, whom he had trashed earlier.
A surge of anger roared within Tang Yan like an uncontrollable fire. He rushed towards his siblings, inspecting their bodies. Except for his younger brother's bruises on his face and arms, no serious injuries were apparent.
Tang Yan stood up, adjusting his emotions, and gazed deeply into the eyes of the thugs. "Who did this?" his voice sounded calm but menacing.
A well-dressed man asked Brother Ma, ignoring Tang Yan, "Is this the person who messed with you and Brother Ma Zhou?"
Brother Ma nodded. "Yes, it's this bastard who doesn't know how to respect his elders."
Tang Yan's expression turned calm and emotionless. "Go inside, I'll treat your bruises after I'm done with them."
His siblings obediently left, leaving Tang Yan and the thugs alone.
The well-dressed man sneered, "Tell me, how do you want to be punished for disrespecting my brothers?"
Tang Yan attacked without warning, his movements swift and savage. "I'll ask you again, who bruised my brother?" he demanded, targeting the thugs' necks and ribs.
The man seemed shocked, feeling unreal as Tang Yan's attacks continued. "I'll ask you again, who bruised my brother?"
Out of thirty men, more than half were put to the ground, growling in pain. The well-dressed man, Brother Kong, unbuttoned his shirt sleeve, making a fighting posture. "Stop, it was me. If you stop, I can consider allowing you to join my gang."
Tang Yan dashed forward, delivering a straight punch to Brother Kong's abdomen.
"Brother Kong, be careful!" Brother Ma shouted.
