Chapter 125: A Stunning Punch
Page 1 of 3
No one had expected Liang Siqi to come running back.
Liang Zhanpeng was about to scold her when he noticed several burly men following behind her, struggling to carry a massive stone.
“What are you doing back here, you ungrateful wretch?”
“I’m warning you—if you cause any more trouble, I’ll have you thrown out!” Liang Zhanpeng barked. Judging by the situation, he knew at once that Liang Siqi had come back to stir things up.
“Dad, what gives you the right to throw me out? If this were a Liang family business, you would indeed have that authority. But Pengzhan Restaurant doesn’t belong to the Liang family in the first place, and my stake in this restaurant is even greater than Xiao Sa’s!”
“So you have no right to throw me out!”
Liang Siqi had genuinely intended to leave and ignore the matter altogether.
But as she walked away, indignation gradually welled up inside her.
In all the more than twenty years of her life, the eldest daughter of the Liang family had never suffered such humiliation. If she did not vent her anger, she felt she might suffocate from it.
Liang Zhanpeng froze. He had never expected his own daughter to dare talk back to him like that. Just as he was about to order someone to throw her out, Cheng Long suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! Excellent, excellent! This girl is really something!”
“Don’t worry. With me here today, no one can throw you out—not even your own father!”
Cheng Long’s words caused Liang Zhanpeng’s expression to change. Liang Siqi’s expression changed as well, but unlike her father, hers was one of delight. She nearly broke into a smile.
“Thank you, thank you, Mr. Cheng Long,” Liang Siqi said hastily. Then she looked directly at Hong Yu.
Her gaze was unbearably smug, as though she were saying, “So what if your family is powerful? I have someone backing me now.”
Hong Yu could not be bothered with her petty thoughts. He was beginning to feel bored and was considering leaving.
But Liang Siqi had come prepared this time. She turned around and called to the men behind her, “Move faster. Get the stone over here.”
The burly men had already worked up a sweat carrying it. The moment they heard her order, they stepped forward and set the stone down.
By then, some of the wealthy men were already growing dissatisfied.
They had come today to discuss Huang Tian. This was a matter of life and death, yet these two youngsters were making a racket here. To them, it was practically an act of murder.
But they were helpless. Since Liang Siqi was Liang Zhanpeng’s daughter, they could have joined forces to rebuke her. Hong Yu, however, was another matter entirely.
Liang Zhanpeng had already revealed some information earlier. These wealthy men knew that Hong Yu belonged to the Hong family, and they did not even dare utter a single word of protest.
If Huang Tian came knocking, they might lose their lives. But if they offended the Hong family, their entire clan could be wiped out.

No one knew what Liang Siqi was up to, but it did not take long for someone to notice that something was wrong with the stone.
“Wait... why is there a fist mark on this stone?”
“I remember now. When we were watching the projection earlier, didn’t we see this exact fist mark?”
“Damn it, Huang Tian is a monster. He actually left a fist mark in a stone this size!”
“After seeing that punch, I understand why those bodyguards looked so utterly helpless.”
The wealthy men cried out one after another, their expressions turning extremely grim.
Shen Chong immediately hurried over to the stone. The instant he saw the fist mark clearly, only one thought remained in his mind.
Once he returned, he absolutely had to hire more bodyguards. He also had to begin making arrangements to leave the country immediately.
Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, Liang Siqi smiled, but her own expression soon grew solemn as well.
This was not her first time seeing that fist mark, yet she was still deeply shocked.
She simply could not understand how a human being could deliver such a terrifying punch. If a scene like this appeared in a modern film or television drama, people would probably mock it as fake and unrealistic.
Although she had just clashed with Liang Zhanpeng, he was still her father, and he had always cared for her. At that moment, Liang Siqi began to worry about him as well.
Liang Zhanpeng had no intention of bringing up their earlier dispute either. His expression darkened as he immediately turned to Cheng Long.
“Mr. Cheng Long, what do you make of this fist mark?”
“Let’s not bother with empty formalities. I only want to ask you one question, Mr. Cheng Long. If you really had to face Huang Tian, how confident would you be of victory?”
Cheng Long did not answer. Instead, he walked over to the stone and examined it carefully for a while.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, he shook his head and gave a scornful smile.
The wealthy men kept their eyes fixed on him. Seeing his reaction, they hurriedly asked, “Mr. Cheng Long, what is it?”
“Did you discover something?”
Cheng Long continued shaking his head. He motioned for the wealthy men to move back, then suddenly crouched down and settled into a horse stance.
“Ha!”
The next instant, he gathered his strength and drove his fist straight into the stone.
Boom!

The impact rang out like thunder. In an instant, the massive stone shattered into countless fragments, shooting toward every corner of the conference room.
Several strong men had been needed just to carry that stone. The force of this single strike was nothing short of earth-shaking.
“Holy crap! Am I seeing things?”
“My God!”
“We’re saved! We’re saved!”
The wealthy men cried out in astonishment. Some even rubbed their eyes, unable to believe that what they had witnessed had truly happened.
Shen Chong and Liang Zhanpeng stared with their eyes wide open. Liang Siqi’s cherry-red lips parted slightly, and her eyes sparkled with stars.
A storm of applause erupted in the conference room. Some people even clapped until their palms turned red.
“Now I can finally relax.”
“As expected of our King of Combat, Mr. Cheng Long. That move truly opened my eyes!”
“Looking at things now, Huang Tian isn’t anything special after all.”
“How could Huang Tian possibly compare with Mr. Cheng Long? He only managed to leave a fist mark in the stone, while our Mr. Cheng Long shattered it with a single punch!”
“Compare what? Huang Tian and Mr. Cheng Long aren’t even on the same level!”
“What level? They aren’t even in the same dimension. There’s no point comparing them. Doing so would only drag Mr. Cheng Long down!”
Liang Zhanpeng’s expression had completely changed. He threw back his head and laughed.
“As expected of the King of Combat! Now we can finally put our minds at ease.”
Shen Chong was smiling as well.
He had been ready to book a flight and flee the country, but with Cheng Long here, there was no need for him to panic quite so much.
Yet while the wealthy men were busily showering Cheng Long with praise, Hong Yu quietly walked over to the shattered stone.
He studied it carefully for a while, then suddenly knitted his brows.
Something about this situation seemed far from simple. These wealthy men lacked the necessary knowledge and might truly have drawn the wrong conclusion.
