Chapter 557 He is a Martial Artist! [4th Update]
The group was encountering this kind of information for the first time and all were shocked by Wen Ping's description.
"You're Tang Youde, aren't you?" Suddenly, a man walked over, patting Tang Youde's shoulder out of the blue.
Turning around, Tang Youde saw a plump young man standing behind him, whose chubby face was marked by arrogance around his eyebrows and eyes.
"I am." Tang Youde nodded.
The chubby man patted his chest and said, "My name is Pang Daren, my dad is Pang Yuanwai."
"Pang Yuanwai? What a strange name." Someone couldn't help but laugh.
But Hu Xue's eyes lit up as she said, "The Pang family from Ling City, the ones who do meat processing, right? I heard that the Pang family's business spans Gong Country and Xian Country, with assets reaching over a billion."
With that, the others suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
It was unexpected that this chubby man had such a wealthy background.
Tang Youde's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Hello, do you need something?"
"I heard your sister is Tang Tiantian?"
"Yes."
Pang Daren licked his lips and said, "I like your sister. Introduce me sometime, and then I'll be your brother-in-law."
"Tang Tiantian?"
Hearing this name, everyone was taken aback; even Wen Ping, usually as stable as Mount Tai, was a bit stunned upon hearing this name.
Hu Xue and the others only knew that Qin Qing's boyfriend had some powerful connections, but they did not realize his sister was Tang Tiantian.
In recent times, the names of Tang Tiantian and several other ladies had become household names.
Especially in Ling City, almost no one was unaware of them.
Wen Ping silently thought to himself that he had misjudged the situation, not realizing that this seemingly average young man was Tang Tiantian's brother.
"My sister already has a boyfriend." Tang Youde frowned slightly and spoke indifferently.
To his surprise, the chubby man replied, "So what if she has a boyfriend? They can break up. Don't judge by my size; I'm actually quite big down there, absolutely capable of satisfying your sister."
"Watch your mouth!" Unable to tolerate the insult to his sister, Tang Youde immediately lashed out.
"Oh, getting angry, are we?" The chubby man scoffed with contempt and said, "Do you really think your sister is all that just because she set up a charity foundation? Please, with her success, who knows how many men she's slept with. What, can you do it but not talk about it?"
Anger flickered in Tang Youde's eyes, and he was on the verge of taking action when Wen Ping suddenly spoke, "You De is my friend, Pang Daren. If you're looking to make trouble, I don't mind joining you for a bit of fun."
"Fine, today I'll give face to you, Wen Ping." The chubby man chuckled and with a disdainful glance at Tang Youde, turned and left.
All of this was witnessed by the group, especially by Qin Qing.
Tang Tiantian's sister's assets might be comparable to the Wen family's, but Pang Daren's attitudes toward the two of them were starkly different.
He dared to speak recklessly in front of Tang Youde but chose to back off after Wen Ping spoke up.
In every respect, Tang Youde was outshone by Wen Ping.
If she really ended up with Tang Youde in the future, she might not worry about money, but she would lack significant status and power, which was not what she wanted.
In contrast, Wen Ping fit her ideal definition of a partner for the future.
"Thank you, Brother Wen," Qin Qing said on behalf of Tang Youde, sneakily fluttering her eyelashes at him.
It seemed Wen Ping understood the meaning in her eyes and smiled faintly, replying, "You're welcome, it's only right."
As soon as the words were spoken, another man walked up.
"Your sister is Tang Tiantian?" The man had a tall figure, with sharp eyebrows and piercing eyes, and his movement had the presence of a tiger or leopard, causing people to instinctively want to keep their distance from him.
"Yes."
The man let out a chuckle, took a puff of his cigar, and blew all the smoke into Tang Youde's face before slowly saying, "When your sister gets here, tell her to come find me."
Tang Youde fanned away the swirling smoke in front of him and frowned, "I don't know you."
The man seemed to hear something amusing and said, "Don't know me? No matter, I've taken a fancy to your sister, and that's an honor for her. From now on, I'll be your brother-in-law. If someone troubles you, just drop my name. I'm Yin Chengjie."
"Hiss~"
"Yin Chengjie!"
"My goodness, this man is actually Yin Chengjie!"
Hu Xue and the others' pupils shrank rapidly, all inhaling a breath of cold air, even Wen Ping felt a shiver in his heart upon hearing this name.
"Who is Yin Chengjie?"
"Damn, you don't even know him? Yin Chengjie, a member of the Lu Province military region's spearhead troops, and he comes from a military family, with a grandfather who is a major general and a father who is a colonel in the military region, truly from a proper military lineage."
"A member of the military region's spearhead troops! Wow, impressive."
Upon learning the identity of this man, Qin Qing's friends immediately stepped back, keeping their distance from Tang Youde. They didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble for no reason, especially since they were not close to Tang Youde.
Qin Qing felt conflicted. She knew Tang Youde's character; if someone talked about his sister like that, he wouldn't easily back down, and a dispute was unavoidable.
But Yin Chengjie's status was not something Tang Youde could afford to offend.
Caught in a panic, the hand that had been warm all along suddenly gripped hers. Qin Qing looked up and saw that Wen Ping had, at some point, come to stand by her side.
"Doing something that would offend the Yin family for his sake isn't something a smart girl like you should do," he said.
Qin Qing bit her red lip and glanced at Tang Youde, who was raising his eyebrows and glowering at Yin Chengjie, and ultimately she decided to stay out of it.
Qin Qing had never thought that her relationship with Tang Youde would come to an end this way, but she did not regret it, for she had found a better target than Tang Youde.
"My sister has a boyfriend, and even if she didn't, she wouldn't like someone like you," Tang Youde said, his voice cold and angry.
Yin Chengjie raised an eyebrow and said, "Someone like me? Hm, young man, mind your tone. If I hadn't taken a fancy to your sister, you'd be lying on the ground right now."
"Your sister is just a woman who got lucky by bumping into a wealthy man, and aside from a pretty face and a nice figure, what else does she have?" Yin Chengjie's voice dripped with disdain. "Kid, the world is cruel. I'm giving you a chance right now, kneel and bow your head to me, and maybe in the future, I'll favor your sister more."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing and the others couldn't help but frown deeply.
"Isn't this going too far?"
Hu Xue was somewhat unable to watch, "Even if he's from a prominent and wealthy family, such behavior is really too much."
Wen Ping laughed coldly and said, "Too much? You only know he's a member of the spearhead troops, but you're unaware of his other identity."
Hu Xue asked, "What identity?"
Wen Ping, looking serious, said of the towering figure of Yin Chengjie, "He is a Martial Artist!"
"Martial Artist!"
"What, he is actually a Martial Artist!"
The group looked at Yin Chengjie in disbelief. They had just learned about Martial Artists from Wen Ping, and now they were seeing one in person.
Thinking back to the terrifying things Wen Ping had told them about Martial Artists, they couldn't help but look at Tang Youde with pitying eyes.
