A hint of contempt flashed in Su Chang's eyes. He coldly replied, "Is it interesting for so many of you to bully a few children?" His voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible authority.

Upon hearing Su Chang's words, the fat man's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. His finger shot out as if he had been electrocuted, pointing sharply at Su Chang, and he shouted angrily, "You brat, do you really want to meddle in other people's business?"

Su Chang's gaze was like a knife, fixed on the finger pointing at him. His face darkened, and he said coldly, "Fatty, you'd better take your finger back, or I'll break it for you." His voice was icy and firm, as if carrying an invisible pressure.

The fat man trembled at the cold aura emanating from Su Chang, unconsciously retracting his fingers and taking two steps back.

However, when he saw the dozen or so brothers behind him, a sense of shame welled up in his heart, and he felt that he had lost face in front of everyone.

So, he gritted his teeth, no longer caring about Su Chang's background, waved his hand at Su Chang, and shouted, "All of you, get him! Let's see what you're capable of, you brat! Daring to meddle in your brother Tiger's business."

Su Chang swiftly snatched two baseball bats from the two thugs and then skillfully performed two fancy moves. His movements were fluid and powerful, brimming with confidence.

A disdainful smile appeared on his face as he provocatively said, "Then come on up and try." But his body was already prepared to strike at any moment.

Immediately afterward, without turning his head, Su Chang said to Liu Wenqin and Tu Jun behind him, "You two boys, protect the girl and get away from her, so you don't get splattered with blood." His tone was decisive and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

Liu Wen (Qian Wang Zhao) Qin then turned to Tu Jun and loudly ordered, "Old dog, protect An Ran and stay far away. I'll fight alongside this brother." His eyes were firm, revealing a resolute courage.

Before Liu Wenqin could turn around, he heard screams behind him and saw the incredulous expressions on Tu Jun and Li Anran's faces.

He turned his head with difficulty and saw Su Chang wielding two baseball bats, charging into the flock of sheep like a ferocious beast.

His movements were swift and powerful, each swing of the baseball bat accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. In no time, a group of thugs were already on the ground, groaning in pain.

Liu Wenqin stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape, completely stunned by what he saw. A surge of admiration for Su Chang welled up within him, while at the same time he felt ashamed of his own powerlessness.

When only the fat man was left standing, Su Chang did not rush to knock him down, but slowly walked towards him.

His steps were steady and powerful, each one seemingly pounding on the fat man's heart. Su Chang wore a teasing smile, his gaze like a sharp sword, piercing straight at the fat man.

The fat man swallowed hard, his body trembling uncontrollably as he backed away step by step. His face was filled with terror, as if he were witnessing the end of the world. His heart was filled with fear and helplessness; he didn't know how to face the powerful toilet before him.

Chapter 303 Guan Xiaodi and the others arrive

"Brother, you're not from around here, are you? How about we just let this go and become friends? My brother Tiger is quite powerful around here, there's no need to fight to the death." The fat man's voice carried a hint of pleading, as he tried to quell Su Chang's anger.

However, Su Chang remained unmoved. His eyes were as cold as icy stars, and he said coldly, "I told you, I'm giving you time to call for help. If you don't, I'll turn you, this tiger, into a dead cat. Do you believe me?"

Tiger's body trembled violently. He felt an irresistible pressure from Su Chang's eyes, and a sense of fear rose in his heart.

He gritted his teeth, not daring to say anything more, and quickly took out his phone, his fingers swiping rapidly across the screen to search for contacts.

Su Chang turned around and looked intently at the three children standing there dumbfounded behind her.

His brow furrowed slightly, his tone tinged with reproach: "What's wrong with you two boys? Didn't I tell you to protect the girl and keep her away? Such a violent scene is not suitable for her to watch."

Liu Wenqin's face flushed instantly. He scratched his head awkwardly, inwardly regretting his actions. He had been completely captivated by Su Chang's astonishing fighting prowess and had completely forgotten that Li Anran was still there.

He quickly apologized to Su Chang: "I'm so sorry, brother, I was just startled by your actions, that's why..."

Su Chang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to explain, and then continued, "Alright, alright, then you can stay here." As he spoke, he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Guan Xiaodi's number.

After Guan Xiaodi's voice came from the other end of the phone, Su Changjian gave a few simple instructions and then hung up. He looked up and saw that Brother Hu had also hung up and was looking at him provocatively.

Su Chang's eyes sharpened further. He strode confidently to Tiger Brother, raised his hand, and slapped Tiger Brother on the head without hesitation.

The movement was too fast; Tiger didn't even have time to dodge. He cried out in pain, "Ouch!" and squatted down, clutching his head.

Su Chang's voice was icy cold: "What kind of look is that? Do you think you're all that again? Don't forget that I'm still in charge here."

Tiger trembled slightly. He lowered his head, avoiding Su Chang's gaze, his heart filled with fear and helplessness. He knew he was no match for Su Chang and could only obediently follow his orders, hoping the people he had summoned would arrive quickly, otherwise he wouldn't have a good day.

Seeing Tiger's comical appearance, Li Anran couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her laughter was clear and melodious, like a spring breeze.

Although Tiger was afraid of Su Chang, his pride wouldn't allow him to be mocked by a girl. He raised his head and glared coldly at Li Anran, his eyes filled with anger.

Li Anran's face turned pale instantly. She was frightened by Tiger's gaze and involuntarily took two steps back. Seeing this, Su Chang felt somewhat displeased and slapped Tiger on the head again in annoyance.

"You still dare to glare at her?" Su Chang's voice carried a hint of anger: "If you dare to glare at her again, I can't guarantee you won't turn into a dead cat ahead of time."

Tiger was so intimidated by Su Chang's imposing manner that he dared not utter another word. He crouched on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and secretly prayed that the people he had called would arrive soon.

Su Chang (ccdj) casually found a stool and sat down, looking at Tiger Brother with indifferent eyes, as if waiting for something.

Li Anran, however, stared intently at Su Chang with bright, unblinking eyes.

Less than five minutes later, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar. Su Chang sat leisurely in place, legs crossed, body slightly leaning back, his eyes revealing a calm and composed demeanor.

Liu Wenqin looked nervous. He quickly ran to Su Chang's side and anxiously reminded him in a low voice, "Brother, you'd better leave quickly. You can't possibly fight so many people by yourself. Once they arrive, you won't be able to leave." His brows were furrowed, and a layer of fine sweat even appeared on his forehead. His hands clenched unconsciously, showing his inner unease.

Li Anran had also come over at some point, her eyes filled with worry and fear. She softly advised, "Yes, big brother, you should leave quickly. A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Although you are very capable, you should still leave as soon as possible." Her lips trembled slightly, and her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, as if she was trying hard to suppress her inner fear.

Tu Jun nodded in agreement, his eyes darting into the distance every now and then, looking tense.

Tiger, who was squatting on the ground, had a smug smile on his lips. It was even harder to control than an AK. He thought to himself, "You guys are just waiting to die. When the people I called come, let's see how Tiger teaches you a lesson, especially when he beats up my out-of-town kid."

Su Chang remained calm, a confident smile playing on his lips. He said, "It's alright. If you three are scared, you can leave now. Also, my name is Su Chang. I'm not some gangster, so you don't need to call me 'Big Brother.'" His voice was calm and firm, as if to tell everyone that there was nothing to worry about, that this was all minor.

Liu Wenqin heard the footsteps getting closer, but he was not a coward.

He straightened up, patted his chest, and said, "Brother Wei, this whole thing started because of me, how could I just walk away?" His eyes gleamed with determination and resolve, as if he were showing Su Chang his resolve.

Then, Liu Wenqin looked at Tu Jun with a resolute look in his eyes and ordered, "Old dog, you take An Ran and leave first, or it will be too late."

Tu Jun glanced at Su Chang and Liu Wenqin, then at Li Anran, briefly caught in a dilemma. He was torn between loyalty to his friends and concern for Li Anran.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Tu Jun gritted his teeth and said to Li Anran, "Li Anran, you should leave now. I want to stay and fight alongside Brother Qin and Brother Wei. I, Brother Gou, am not an ungrateful person." His voice trembled slightly, but it was full of determination.

Li Anran stood behind Su Chang with her head held high, her eyes revealing a firmness and trust. She said, "I won't leave. I believe my big brother will protect me." Her hands gripped Su Chang's clothes tightly, as if conveying her determination to him.

Seeing Liu Wenqin and Tu Jun's fearless expressions, Su Chang couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

He stood up helplessly, patted the two men's shoulders lightly, and said with a slightly mocking smile, "You two are quite brave, aren't you? But how can you be so sure that the person who came was called by this fat man?" His eyes gleamed with a cunning light, as if he were hinting at something.

Liu Wenqin and Tu Jun exchanged a glance, a hint of embarrassment on their faces. They realized they might have been too nervous and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Tiger's face turned extremely ugly, and he secretly groaned inwardly. He had originally thought Su Chang was just an ordinary outsider, but he never expected that Su Chang would have such great ability to summon people in such a short time.

He felt his heart sink instantly, secretly praying that Su Chang wouldn't call in a few more people as capable as him. Otherwise, he would not only lose face today, but also lose a lot of money. After all, the people he had called were paid to work for other bosses.

Li Anran's eyes sparkled with admiration as she gazed at Su Chang's retreating figure, her face filled with stars, a sense of security coursing through her. She felt that Su Chang, this older brother, was becoming more and more charming.

When they finally saw the faces of the newcomers, they saw Guan Xiaodi leading several female bodyguards, followed closely by four little guys: Ma Tian, ​​Zhu Weijiao, Ding Rongliang, and Luo Shenxi.

They jogged over, the four children behind them panting heavily.

Guan Xiaodi approached Su Chang and respectfully greeted him, "Boss!" Her eyes were filled with awe and loyalty.

Su Chang nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Guan Xiaodi and asked, "Have Xingchen and Han Xiaoli been arranged?" His voice was calm and firm, revealing a convincing power.

Guan Xiaodi nodded quickly and replied, "Boss, it's all arranged. They've already joined the main force and are being protected by bodyguards. I've also made all the arrangements as you instructed. Also, Cui Tianqi and Ma Li will be flying over later, and Sister Qin Shi has been handed over to Instructor Liu Sha for protection."

Su Chang nodded in satisfaction, then pointed at Tiger, who was squatting to the side, and said sternly, "Well done! Keep an eye on this guy, don't let him get away."

Guan Xiaodi responded and then waved to the bodyguards behind her, her eyes firm, signaling them to step forward and restrain Tiger.

A female bodyguard moved with the speed of a cheetah, swiftly advancing and kicking Tiger to the ground. Her movements were clean, decisive, and ruthless.

Immediately afterward, she firmly placed her foot on Tiger's back, forcing his face to make intimate contact with the ground. Tiger inwardly groaned, a pained expression on his face, thinking he might have really bitten off more than he could chew this time. Someone with bodyguards couldn't be an ordinary person!

The children were both frightened and excited by what they saw. They covered their faces with their hands, but their fingers were only slightly spread apart, and their constantly moving eyes betrayed their true nature.

Zhu Weijiao, Luo Shenxi, and Ding Rongliang watched for a while before running over to Tu Jun.

Zhu Weijiao nervously pulled Tu Jun aside, carefully examining his body, and asked with concern, "Brother Gou, are you alright?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her face was full of worry.

"Yeah, yeah, Brother Gou? How are you?" Luo Shenxi and Ding Rongliang followed suit, their faces also showing anxiety.

Tu Jun glanced awkwardly at Su Chang, then at Liu Wenqin and Li Anran, muttering to himself: I just stood there watching the show for a bit, thinking about things, and eating some dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). Besides feeling a little full, what else could have happened?

Chapter 304 Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement

He shook off Zhu Weijiao's arm, raised his head, and said arrogantly, "Just kidding, what kind of person is your Brother Gou? How could anything happen to him? But, Dali Jiao, Da Zui, and Mimi, didn't you run away? Why are you back?" His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, but he was mostly trying to cover up his embarrassment.

Ding Rongliang pointed at Guan Xiaodi and explained to Tu Jun, "Brother Gou, you don't know, the three of us and Ma Tian had just run up the hill when that woman stopped us. She said she was the bodyguard of that Su boss, and told us not to be afraid, so we followed them." His eyes revealed his awe of Guan Xiaodi.

Tu Jun nodded, secretly wondering about Su Chang's background. He kept glancing at Su Chang, trying to find some clues from him.

Ma Tian then came to Li Anran's side, and seeing Li Anran tightly clutching Su Chang's clothes, he asked in a low voice with a puzzled look, "Li Anran, what's going on between you two? Are you very familiar with this person?"

Li Anran glanced cautiously at Su Chang, and finding that he wasn't paying attention to them, she blushed and whispered, "No, it's just that Big Brother Su Chang happened to be passing by and saved us. He even taught those thugs a lesson. He was so awesome..."

When Su Chang was mentioned, Li Anran's face lit up with excitement, her eyes sparkling with admiration. A happy smile spread across her face, as if she had forgotten the danger she had just faced.

Ma Tian looked at Li Anran with a strange expression, then glanced at Liu Wenqin beside her, wondering what was going on. Didn't Li Anran like Liu Wenqin? Why did she seem to have fallen for Su Chang instead?

Martin couldn't understand it at all, so he stopped replying and listened quietly as Li Anran described what had happened.

About ten minutes later, a deafening roar of motorcycles came from the engine. It was clear from the sound that the newcomers were hostile and numerous.

Everyone's hearts tightened; they all knew that this must be the men Tiger had summoned. Liu Wenqin and Tu Jun, along with the others, trembled involuntarily, their faces filled with tension.

Su Chang and Guan Xiaodi, however, remained remarkably calm, standing quietly in place. Several bodyguards quickly reached behind Su Chang, forming an arc to protect him.

Their eyes, like those of hawks, were fixed on the direction of the alley entrance, as if they were waiting for a life-or-death struggle.

Tiger, lying on the ground, struggled to lift his head. Seeing the bodyguards' tense and wary demeanor, he was startled once again.

He muttered to himself, "Is this going to involve using that terrifying 'Equalizer of All Beings'? It's just a fight, it can't be that serious..." At this moment, he was already planning how to escape later.

Soon, a burly man covered in tattoos rode a Jialing motorcycle and stopped not far from Su Chang and the others. Then, dozens of motorcycles surged forward like a tide and came to a stop.

The tattooed man swung his arm forcefully in Su Chang's direction, and dozens of thugs nimbly took various weapons such as machetes, pipe brakes, and baseball bats from the motorcycles, and menacingly surrounded Su Chang and his group.

Liu Wenqin and the others' hearts pounded even harder, their tension almost making it hard to breathe. However, Liu Wenqin quickly picked up the baseball bat that Tiger and his gang had dropped earlier, gripping it tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any potential danger. Seeing this, Tu Jun and the others followed suit, picking up various weapons scattered on the ground.

The female bodyguards quickly pulled out stun guns from their waists, their eyes firm and sharp as they stared intently at the group of thugs in front of them, showing no fear.

Su Chang raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain on his face. He asked Tiger, who was lying on the ground, "Fatty, are all the people you called here?"

Tiger raised his head with difficulty, a fawning smile on his face, and said, "Brother, look, you told me to call people, and the people I called have arrived. Otherwise, let's call it a day. I'll arrange a table for you at a restaurant so you can make some friends. What do you think?"

He prayed silently that Su Chang would agree to his proposal so that he could escape this calamity.

Su Chang was secretly surprised, not expecting this fat guy to be so flexible. A slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips as he thought to himself, "This fat guy is quite interesting."

However, the tattooed man opposite him wouldn't have it. He curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Tiger, you're such a coward! You've disgraced our gang. So what if there are a few punks and a few wives? What's there to be afraid of! You should go home and hug your wife instead of hanging around here."

As he spoke, he brandished his machete, displaying his power. A group of thugs behind him also joined in, waving their weapons and jeering.

Tiger really wanted to kill the tattooed guy to vent his anger. He cursed inwardly, "This idiot, can't he see that the other party has a powerful background? You're really going to get me killed."

But in order not to give Su Chang a chance to lose his temper, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Brutal Bear, shut up! I paid you guys to come and help me. According to the rules of the Brotherhood, you have to listen to me now."
