Chapter 458: Watch How I Deal with You
Xu Yang didn't expect that he would encounter a seat-hogging man on a flight.
If the other party had been a bit more polite and suggested they swap seats, he would have agreed.
After all, he didn't have any particular demands regarding seating, as long as he could get to Haicheng, he didn't care whether it was a window seat or not.
But with the man's attitude, Xu Yang was not pleased and said, "I'm sorry, but I want to sit in my own seat."
"Hey!" The man became even more irritated and said, "What's your problem, kid? Are you looking for trouble? I told you I like window seats, don't you understand?"
Xu Yang replied coldly, "I understand, but your preference for a window seat doesn't concern me. This is my seat, please move immediately!"
"Damn it!" The man cursed, "I won't move. What are you going to do about it?"
Xu Yang didn't want to argue with him and directly called for a flight attendant to explain the situation.
After checking Xu Yang's ticket, the flight attendant said to the seat-hogging man, "Sir, please return to your own seat."
The seat-hogging man glanced at the flight attendant and sneered, "I want to sit here, what can you do about it?"
The flight attendant said, "If you insist, I will call the safety officer over and ask you to leave the airplane."
Hearing this, the color drained from the seat-hogging man's face.
If the safety officer came and he still refused to give up the seat, they would indeed ask him to leave the plane.
If he engaged in any more extreme behavior, he might even be detained by the police.
So he snorted coldly and, very reluctantly, stood up and moved back to his own seat.
Xu Yang took his own seat.
Jiang Zhiyong had been watching the situation with Xu Yang; in such a case, he wouldn't intervene.
He would only take action when a situation required it.
Soon, the airplane took off.
The airplane was flying smoothly.
The seat-hogging man asked for a cup of warm water, took a sip, and then, with a twirl of his eyes, he trembled his hand and spilled half a cup of water on Xu Yang's thigh, soaking a large patch of his pants.
The seat-hogging man said in a weird tone, "Oh, I'm sorry, it wasn't on purpose."
But his tone and expression clearly said: I did it on purpose, what are you going to do, bite me?
Xu Yang's eyebrows twitched, he glanced at the man, took a napkin, and wiped it off.
The seat-hogging man said with a grin, "Buddy, it's just wet pants, it's no big deal. We're neighbors, which must mean we're fated—let's be friends. My name is Wang Shengqiang, what's yours?"
Xu Yang didn't respond but said to the flight attendant, "Give me a cup of boiling water."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The flight attendant went to get a cup of boiling water and handed it to Xu Yang, "Sir, it's quite hot, please be careful."
"Thank you," Xu Yang nodded, took the boiling water, and without a moment's hesitation, poured it directly onto Wang Shengqiang's thigh.
"Ah!" Wang Shengqiang let out a scream, glared at Xu Yang, and cursed, "Damn it, what the hell are you doing?!"
Mimicking Wang Shengqiang's earlier tone and expression, Xu Yang said sarcastically, "Sorry, it wasn't on purpose. I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance. My name is Xu Yang!"
"Pleased my ass!" Wang Shengqiang cursed back, "Who the hell wants to be your friend? I'll tell you this, you're dead meat—I'll make sure of it!"
The commotion drew the attention of the safety officer.
The safety officer came over and asked the flight attendant, "What's going on, what happened?"
The flight attendant explained the situation.
The safety officer frowned and said, "Gentlemen, with what has happened, it's not suitable for you two to sit together. I suggest one of you move to another seat. There are still vacancies in first-class. Who would like to move to another seat?"
Xu Yang looked at Wang Shengqiang who remained silent and then said, "I'll go."
So, Xu Yang took a seat elsewhere.
Wang Shengqiang glared viciously at Xu Yang, "Kid, you're dead meat. Just wait until we get to Haicheng; I'll show you what I can do!"
Xu Yang didn't respond, not in the slightest bit concerned about the other person's threat.
With that kind of low character, he figured they couldn't be much of a figure.
Such people were not worth his attention.
Thus, he began to close his eyes to rest.
The plane landed at Haicheng International Airport, and it was already past three in the morning; he could go to the hotel and take a short rest.
As they disembarked, Wang Shengqiang stared at Xu Yang fiercely, "Kid, just wait. I'll definitely take care of you!"
Xu Yang's face was expressionless; he didn't speak and got off the plane with Jiang Zhiyong.
Following them off the plane, Wang Shengqiang took out his phone and dialed a number, "Brother Long, I haven't disturbed your rest, have I?"
The brother Long on the other end of the phone said, "No, I'm still drinking with the boys. Besides, with our relationship, what's there to disturb."
Wang Shengqiang said, "Brother Long, I've just come back from Jiangcheng and have just gotten off the plane. I want to ask for a favor."
Brother Long laughed, "With our relationship, what's this about favors? Just tell me and it's done, as long as it's in the airport area, you can do whatever you want."
Wang Shengqiang said, "Damn it, some punk spilled a cup of hot water on my thigh during the flight and it hurt like hell. I have to get back at that kid!"
Brother Long replied, "No problem, follow him and report back his position. I'm at the bar next to the airport. I'll come over immediately with some people to find you; you can do whatever you want to with him!"
"Good." Wang Shengqiang grinned, following Xu Yang and Jiang Zhiyong out of the airport. He immediately reported to Zhou Dalong, "Brother Long, we're at gate 3 of the airport. I'm wearing a blue shirt, and the kid's wearing a gray T-shirt."
Brother Long laughed heartily, "I'm right at gate 3; I see you."
Wang Shengqiang looked around and quickly spotted five men approaching him.
The man with the triangular eyes walking in front was none other than the Brother Long Wang Shengqiang mentioned, real name Zhou Dalong.
Zhou Dalong ran a hotel near the airport; he spent his days with his crew at the airport entrance, asking arriving passengers if they needed accommodation.
Don't underestimate such people.
An airport might seem classier than train stations or bus stations, but essentially it's the same—both are places where all sorts mingle.
Those who can do business here aren't ordinary people.
If someone with no connections tried to conduct business here, they would either be driven off by others doing the same or caught by airport police.
Those doing business here have formed a circle.
Zhou Dalong was an influential person within this circle.
Seeing Zhou Dalong and his men approach, Wang Shengqiang immediately pointed at Xu Yang, "Brother Long, this is the punk."
Experience more content on empire
At this moment, Xu Yang and Jiang Zhiyong had seen the car coming to pick them up.
Just as they were about to head over,
Zhou Dalong and his men blocked Xu Yang and Jiang Zhiyong's way, "Kid, where do you think you're going?"
Xu Yang glanced at Zhou Dalong, "Where I go is none of your business. Get the hell out of my way!"
Xu Yang was in a bad mood; he had to come to Haicheng in the middle of the night.
That's why, when he encountered Wang Shengqiang spilling water, he retaliated without hesitation.
Now, now that Wang Shengqiang had brought people to block his path again, he was even less willing to be polite.
