Chapter 663 652: Liu Yunpeng's Suspicion (Part 3)

"Damn, keep making up stories, think I'm a fool, huh? A forged pass! If I don't teach you guys a lesson today, you won't tell the truth." Liu Yunpeng shouted wildly like a madman.

"Do you two have the pass signed by Mr. Liu?" Huang Yong firmly restrained Liu Yunpeng to prevent him from taking drastic actions against his two subordinates.

"Yeah~ we have it. Come on, isn't the pass with you? Quickly, take it out." The two subordinates, after being slapped by Huang Yong and nearly driven mad by Liu Yunpeng's intimidation, completely forgot they had the evidence that could prove their words.

At this moment, Huang Yong's reminder undoubtedly became their lifeline.

So, the subordinate who was first kicked by Huang Yong ignored the burning pain in his stomach, hastily took out the somewhat crumpled pass and tremblingly handed it to Huang Yong, "Yong, Brother Yong, this is the pass Miss Li gave us."

Huang Yong took the pass and glanced at it symbolically, "Hmm, this handwriting is indeed Mr. Liu's. Did Miss Li say what Mr. Liu arranged for her to do outside?"

"Not really, Brother Yong. You know, since Miss Li has a pass personally signed by Mr. Liu, we can only let her through. As for what she's going to do outside, we servants shouldn't inquire about such matters." The two subordinates dared not lift their heads, answering honestly to Huang Yong's question.

Liu Yunpeng grabbed the pass from Huang Yong's hand, skeptical. The so-called pass was just a piece of clear thin paper. Liu Yunpeng scrutinized the text on it, "Authorized passage, Liu Fugui!" That was all. It made him erupt in anger:

"What kind of damn pass is this? I think you guys fabricated it beforehand, didn't you?"

"No, no, no, young master, this really was handed to us personally by Miss Li!" The two subordinates were now unable to argue, casting hopeful glances at Huang Yong, hoping he'd provide an explanation and clarify the situation for them.

Huang Yong, of course, understood the situation as clear as day; he had orchestrated this whole act himself, so handling it was second nature to him.

He spoke to Liu Yunpeng with unusual seriousness, "Young master, this pass's handwriting is indeed Mr. Liu's, and I believe they wouldn't have the guts to forge Mr. Liu's signature."

"Enough, Huang Yong, I see you're intent on protecting your subordinates today, huh. These two are damn good actors. My dad would send Huiru out of the Factory? Is that really happening? He even personally signed the pass, it's ridiculous, you two bastards must be tired of living. You dare to mimic my dad's handwriting and brazenly use it to fool me? You think I'm an idiot, damn it, let's see if I don't cripple you two today."

As Liu Yunpeng spoke, he was about to move in to strike, but Huang Yong stood in his way like a wall.

"Huang Yong, don't push your luck, get out of my way!"

Huang Yong remained immovable, his voice calm, "Young master, please calm down, let's talk privately."

Regardless of whether Liu Yunpeng agreed or not, he firmly pushed him aside and whispered, "Young master, my two subordinates cannot be harmed."

"What? Untouchable? You're really something as their leader, huh! I insist on taking action today!" Liu Yunpeng stood firm against Huang Yong's chest, glaring angrily.

"Young master, I understand your concern for Miss Li's situation. Under different circumstances, I wouldn't stop you from disciplining them as you see fit. But now, in this post-apocalyptic world, people like them are crucial to us. Losing even one would be a significant loss to our Factory's defenses. Moreover, they did provide evidence, and the handwriting on the pass is indeed Mr. Liu's. If you act rashly without understanding the whole story, it could destabilize the morale of our troops!"

Huang Yong patiently explained to Liu Yunpeng, but the latter couldn't care less. He immediately raised the pass and roared, "What's called not understanding the whole story! Is this evidence? Damn your evidence!"

Liu Yunpeng tore the pass to pieces in no time, then forcefully threw it at Huang Yong's face, "Huang Yong, if you're smart, get out of my way. I'm definitely teaching these two bastards a lesson today."

Raising his eyebrows, Huang Yong remained unfazed, but Liu Yunpeng's previous actions truly angered him. He stood like a pillar in front of Liu Yunpeng, unwavering as he spoke in a low voice, "Young master, I'm sorry, but until the matter is clarified, I won't let you lay a hand on them. If you have any objections to this situation, I can accompany you to Mr. Liu to verify it, to see if this pass is signed by him."

"Hmm, alright, Huang Yong, you're really intent on defending these kids today, huh! Fine! Since you're telling me to verify it with my dad, fine, I'll do just that, and let them die knowingly! And you, Huang Yong, if anything happens to Huiru, don't think you'll have it any easier either."

Watching Liu Yunpeng storm away angrily, Huang Yong couldn't help but sneer to himself. Liu Fugui having such a son was truly a tragedy in his fate!

"How are you two? Did I hit too hard just now?"

"Brother Yong, it's alright. Did we do okay just now?" To play this act well, Huang Yong had been ruthless earlier, but despite the pain, the two subordinates didn't say much, only hoping they could earn his appreciation by enduring the hardship, and perhaps some reward.

"Hmm, you two did well. Later, I'll have the kitchen prepare half a chicken to replenish you."

Upon hearing there would be chicken, the two subordinates immediately felt their whole body's pain vanish.

To be honest, they all knew there was a chicken farm at the Factory, but for subordinates like them, it was only something to look at, never to taste.

They didn't expect that after taking those punches and kicks today, they'd be lucky enough to eat half a chicken. It was quite unexpected for them.

If they had known, they would've wished Huang Yong had kicked them a few more times for a whole chicken; after all, such punches and kicks wouldn't inflict too much harm.

Though they were bubbling with joy inside, eager to eat meat right away, they humbly declined verbally, "Ah, Brother Yong, how can we accept this, we did what we should, we..."

Huang Yong interrupted with a wave of his hand, face serious, "This is your deserved reward, don't decline. But remember, this matter stays between us. If either of you dare to leak a word, then don't blame me for throwing you out to feed the Zombies."

The two subordinates weren't dumb. Huang Yong even dared to scheme against Li Huiru, who was close to Liu Yunpeng, so how would he hesitate against them? Thus, they nodded emphatically and answered, "Brother Yong, don't worry, even if it costs our lives, we won't say a word." (To be continued.
