Yang Qing was all too familiar with this skinny thug—how could he not recognize him? He knew him perfectly well!
Just last night, Tang Yong and his son had called this Monkey to dine with them, promising him a hefty profit at the dinner table. Their purpose was to set the stage for today's beating of Pang Feng when he was already down.
According to the plot, Young Master Fei was arriving in Yongping today, and Pang Feng was to be humiliated in front of him.
Then, Monkey would swiftly betray them, taking the opportunity to deal with Pang Feng's henchman, Wang Biao.
Finally, in the lobby of the International Hotel, as soon as Pang Feng showed up, Monkey and his gang were to beat him while he was down, following Tang father and son's order to hit him hard—by doing so, all the grievances everyone had suffered these past few days would be avenged.
