Noticing Lin Feng’s sowhat odd expression, Xie Nan habitually asked, "Brother Feng, is there any trouble that requires our help?"
"No," Lin Feng shook his head and, pointing to the cash box, said, "It’s inconvenient to carry this much cash. Just jot down my card number, and help deposit it into my account."
Xie Nan agreed, and Lin Feng, dismissing the matter from his mind, chatted with him for a few more monts before heading back to the private room where Tang Rou and Su Zi were.
Just as he reached the entrance, Lin Feng’s expression suddenly changed. He discovered the room was filled with many unexpected people!
Over a dozen thugs ard with knives and clubs were scattered around the private room, their weapons aid at Wang Zikai, Tang Rou, and the others. Among them, a bald-headed man in a white suit and white gloves, who looked like a minor leader, was looking at Lin Feng, who was standing by the door, with an incredibly arrogant expression, practically begging for a beating.
What’s going on? Lin Feng was furious; all his senses were on high alert. Seeing Su Zi and Tang Rou, their faces etched with fear, forced into a corner by the ard n, trembling uncontrollably, This is the first ti I’ve ever wanted to kill soone. I have the urge to slaughter every single one of them!
When Su Zi and Tang Rou saw Lin Feng, expressions of joy flashed across their faces. However, when they saw the sheer number of ard n surrounding them, they both instinctively suppressed their desire to call out for help, not wanting to distract Lin Feng.
"Who are you?" Lin Feng fought to suppress the murderous intent raging within him and asked in a calm voice.
The bald-headed man looked at Lin Feng’s grim face, a smug expression on his own. He patted his smooth pate and chuckled, "You must be Lin Feng, right? You’re as bold as the rumors say! I am Huang Xiaocai of the Liuhe Club. My apologies for this sudden intrusion; I hope you’ll forgive my presumptuousness!"
Huang Xiaocai’s stilted, semi-archaic speech and affected mannerisms were incredibly grating.
Lin Feng found it particularly repulsive and frowned. "Can you speak like a normal person?"
Actually, I don’t want to waste my breath on these people, Lin Feng thought. But there are too many of them, and I’m worried a stray weapon might accidentally hurt Su Zi or Tang Rou. That would be troubleso. I have to stall for ti for now.
"I hear you’re very dissatisfied with our Liuhe Club. Not long ago, you crippled Han Bin, an elite of our organization, with a single palm strike. And yesterday, you extorted one hundred thousand yuan from our senior mber, Brother Zheng Xiaolong... I’ve co to ask if these things truly happened?" Huang Xiaocai tugged at his gloves, then drew a small knife less than twenty centiters long. A cruel smile touched his lips as he continued, "One hundred thousand yuan! That’s more than half a month’s inco for our Liuhe Club! You’ve acted so unscrupulously; isn’t it perfectly normal for us to co looking for you? Wouldn’t you agree?"
Lin Feng frowned. "Did Zheng Xiaolong send you?"
"There’s no harm in telling you. We ca on our own accord after seeing our brother suffer a loss... If Zheng Xiaolong had told us sooner, how could he have lost that hundred thousand? That idiot is beyond stupid!" Huang Xiaocai cursed Zheng Xiaolong with a tone of ’hating iron for not becoming steel,’ then chuckled and said, "But thankfully, there’s a chance to redy this... As long as there’s money, it doesn’t matter whose hands it’s in, right? Normally, since you took the hundred thousand, we’d just ask for it back. However, I’ve brought quite a few of my brothers tonight. If you don’t add an extra fifty thousand yuan for to treat them, it might be hard to talk things over!"
Knowing they were after money, Lin Feng relaxed considerably. At least Wang Zikai, Tang Rou, and Su Zi should be safe for the mont!
"I don’t have any cash on right now..." Lin Feng said tentatively.
"Don’t try to play gas with !" Huang Xiaocai gently tapped the small knife in his hand and said with a laugh, "Lin Feng, do you think we didn’t do our howork before coming? You own shares in this Fenghuo Bar, don’t you? The ’Brother Feng’ those good-for-nothings from the Loyalty Gang keep ntioning is you, right? This bar has a nightly turnover of over one hundred thousand yuan. There’s no way you can’t produce 150,000 yuan in cash!"
Damn it! Those idiots from the Loyalty Gang have such loose lips! All our information was leaked, and they didn’t even realize it... What’s even more infuriating is how these Liuhe Club bastards managed to sneak in so quietly. To think so many people could be taken hostage on my own turf! The quality of our mbers really needs a serious upgrade!
"Then, can I have soone bring the money in?" Lin Feng asked tentatively.
"My n will make the call for you!" Huang Xiaocai casually pointed to one of his goons, had him approach Lin Feng, and said, "Tell him who you want to find and what to say, and he’ll relay the ssage."
Huang Xiaocai did this to prevent Lin Feng from suddenly calling people to rush into the room and ruin his plans. He had spent a significant amount of money gathering intelligence for this operation. He couldn’t allow any mishaps at this final stage!
Lin Feng nodded, understanding Huang Xiaocai’s precaution, and said to the goon, "Go outside and find any of our guys. Tell them Brother Feng needs Brother Nan. When you find Brother Nan, tell him: ’Brother Feng urgently needs money and wants to withdraw 150,000 yuan from the accounts. Brother Nan, please advance the money from the current cash flow.’ That’s all you need to say."
Huang Xiaocai didn’t detect anything amiss and nodded at the goon, signaling him to do as Lin Feng said.
"Since we’re just waiting around, why don’t we have a drink together?" Huang Xiaocai suddenly produced two glasses of whiskey from the table, chuckled, and walked up to Lin Feng, handing him one.
"Lin Feng, don’t drink that wine... He put an ecstasy pill in it!" Wang Zikai, surrounded by the thugs, suddenly shouted a warning.
Huang Xiaocai’s face changed. He shot Wang Zikai a vicious glare and then gestured with his eyes to the thug beside Wang Zikai who was holding an iron rod.
WHACK!
The thug with the iron rod viciously struck Wang Zikai in the stomach, cursing, "Shut your damn mouth, you bastard! It’s none of your damn business when the Boss offers soone a drink! Ecstasy pills are high-class stuff! A country bumpkin like you wouldn’t know how to appreciate them!"
Lin Feng’s brow furrowed, and he said in a low, firm voice, "Don’t hit him! I’ll drink it!"
"Lin Feng..." Su Zi and Tang Rou both showed anxious expressions. That was a highly addictive illegal drug.
Huang Xiaocai handed the drink to Lin Feng. Glancing at Su Zi and Tang Rou, a lewd smile spread across his face as he said, "Kid, you’ve got so serious luck with won. Those two are top-tier beauties. I’d gladly trade a few years of my life for one night with them! Hehe..."
Hearing Huang Xiaocai’s words, Lin Feng’s expression turned colder. Too bad you won’t get the chance to shorten your life, because you’ll be dead very soon! he thought.
CREAK! The private room door was suddenly pushed open. The goon who had just gone out to find Xie Nan returned, carrying a box. The box seed very heavy; he was bent over, head down, carrying it, so his face couldn’t be clearly seen.
"Boss, I’m back."
Even his voice sounded a bit hoarse and strained.
"Damn it! What a weakling! Getting this tired from carrying a bit of money? You really don’t have the luck to get rich!" Huang Xiaocai chuckled and walked towards the goon, about to take the cash box from his hands.
Suddenly, the "goon" slamd a fist into Huang Xiaocai’s face. THWACK! Huang Xiaocai’s nose instantly gushed blood. Then, he grabbed Huang Xiaocai by the collar, yanked him forward, and pressed a fruit knife against his neck!
"Brother Feng, now!" the "goon" who had suddenly attacked Huang Xiaocai urged in a low voice. Lin Feng recognized it—that was Xie Nan’s voice!
A’nan, you really didn’t disappoint ! Lin Feng thought. He clenched his fists, a ferocious look on his face. He shot towards the thugs, who were now leaderless and disoriented, and began to unleash his might.
