Hou Libang mercilessly dealt with the thug in front of him. At first, the thug was defiant, but within three minutes, he revealed everything he knew.
The thug belonged to the lowest rank of henchmen. He only knew that Ma Yiwen was contacting all the thugs from the Horse Head Gang, preparing to take action against Hou Libang and his group of outsiders. They were merely sent to keep watch; the real forces had yet to arrive.
As for why Ma Yiwen was targeting Hou Libang and his crew, the thugs had no idea. Even the upper echelons of the Horse Head Gang only knew that Ma Yiwen was seeking revenge for something that happened that afternoon. The true purpose behind Ma Yiwen's actions was known only to a few of his trusted subordinates.
Although Hou Libang did not gain any useful information, he immediately took out his phone to call me, wanting to give me a heads-up.
Once the call connected, my voice came through: "Hello, Hou Libang, where are you? Do you want me to send you my location?"
Feeling awkward, Hou Libang rubbed his ear and replied, "Jiang Ling, it seems we’re being watched and can’t get away for now. You need to be careful and avoid being found by them. Once we handle things here, we’ll come find you."
"Hello? Jiang Ling, are you there? Why aren’t you saying anything?" Hou Libang shouted into the phone, but there was still no response. After seven or eight seconds, he realized that his phone had gone black.
Frustrated, Hou Libang stared at his smartphone and shook his head before pressing the power button forcefully. After more than ten seconds without it turning on, he caught a whiff of a familiar burnt smell coming from the device. A sense of foreboding washed over him as he angrily exclaimed, "Damn it! That crooked merchant sold me a fake computer; I can’t believe he sold me a fake phone too! I’m really fed up! Next time I see him, I’ll make him pay."
Afterward, Hou Libang checked his bearings and quickly headed toward their agreed meeting spot. The Green-Haired Thug saw that Hou Libang ignored him and hurriedly covered his bruised head before scampering away.
A few minutes later, Hou Libang was almost out of the alley when suddenly four figures appeared at the exit, blocking his path. These four were none other than Wu Yong, the leader of the local underworld; Deng Feifeng, the head of the yellow zone; Wang Xianglong, a drug addict; and Zhu Fangyuan, a shady businessman.
Deng Feifeng threw a flirtatious glance at Hou Libang and waved her hand, her voice sweet as she said, "Handsome, we meet again. Hehe, who would have thought we really have fate!"
Upon recognizing the faces of the four before him, anger surged within Hou Libang. Although he only knew Deng Feifeng among them, it was clear that the other three were affiliated with her. Pointing an accusing finger at Deng Feifeng’s nose, he shouted loudly, "How dare you show your face in front of me! You really think I’ve forgotten about you? It’s good that you’re here; I’ve been looking for you to settle a score. Although I don’t like hitting women, at this point, I have to teach you a lesson."
They heard Hou Libang's words, and curiosity appeared on their faces as they turned to look at Deng Feifeng, waiting for her explanation.
Deng Feifeng smiled and said, "The person I knocked out at the hotel before was this fat guy. I just didn't know he was Elder Cai's target at the time; otherwise, I would have taken him out then and there. It wouldn't have been this troublesome."
Wu Yong took out his phone and opened the photo Elder Cai had sent him. Comparing it with the present Hou Libang, he found that aside from their clothing, they looked exactly alike. After confirming the target was correct, Wu Yong put his phone away, pulled out a solid iron rod, and said coldly, "This person being named for assassination by Elder Cai means he must have some significance. Let's not hold back; we should all work together to kill him and then retreat immediately without leaving any traces."
Zhu Fangyuan wore a friendly smile as he pulled out a black dagger, speaking ominously, "Don't worry, Boss Wu. This isn't our first time doing something like this; we know what to do."
"Let's do it; take down this fat guy so we can divide the spoils afterward. My Corpse Oil Solution is all used up, so it's perfect timing to use some fresh stuff," Wang Xianglong said weakly as he took a pair of iron knuckles from his pocket. The surface of the knuckles bore a faint layer of red rust. Anyone knowledgeable would recognize that this rust was formed after soaking the knuckles in human blood.
Seeing Wang Xianglong and Zhu Fangyuan readying their weapons, Deng Feifeng raised an eyebrow and took out an iron bottle containing the Corpse Oil Ointment she had used to knock out Hou Libang earlier. She removed the cap with a cheerful smile and said, "You big men can handle the fighting; I'll just stand back here and keep others from interrupting you. No one will disturb you; just go ahead."
With that, Deng Feifeng ignited the ointment inside the bottle and smashed it onto the ground. The ointment splattered out, igniting into a gray flame that engulfed the entire alley's exit. Anyone outside wanting to enter would first have to break through this layer of gray fire.
The scene they created had only taken about a minute. After hearing their conversation, Hou Libang had roughly guessed their intentions. He drew his saber and looked seriously at Wu Yong and the others not far away, saying coldly, "I don't care who sent you; I'm not some soft target. If you want to kill me, come at me."
Hou Libang considered fleeing but realized he had exhausted himself chasing that Green-Haired Thug; his legs were too fatigued to run. After weighing his options, he decided to confront Wu Yong and his group.
Wu Yong met Hou Libang's gaze, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "You actually want to face us three head-on? I truly admire your courage. To show my respect for that courage, I'll shatter every bone in your body."
With that, Wu Yong moved swiftly, charging toward Hou Libang alongside Zhu Fangyuan and Wang Xianglong with fierce momentum.
