"You idiot! Who told you to come here?!" Li Bin scolded as he supported his little brother and ran, "I already said to use intelligence, not create chaos! He Baobao is drunk tonight. Once he falls asleep, I guarantee I can take him down! You've seen the Three Kingdoms, right? How did Zhang Fei die? Huh? Is He Baobao any better than Zhang Fei? You're just making things worse!"
His little brother gritted his teeth and endured the pain, "The brothers are all worried about you, so they…" He glanced at the gun in Li Bin's hand and asked, "This gun is fake too?"
"Of course! Where am I supposed to get a real one?!" Li Bin cursed, tossing the gun-shaped lighter far away.
After deciding to risk everything alone for Douzi's revenge, Li Bin had turned off his phone and stayed in the shadows, observing He Baobao, waiting for a good opportunity to strike. Although he noticed his little brother tailing He Baobao, Li Bin knew his underlings well—they were just worried about his safety and wouldn't dare confront He Baobao. So, he didn't step in to warn them.
These "weapons" were actually things he bought for a few dozen bucks at the mall. He thought they might come in handy if he got surrounded by He Baobao's goons after a successful assassination, using them to scare them off and make a clean getaway.
However, he didn't expect that as his "intelligent strategy" was about to reach its crucial moment, having followed He Baobao from the club to the repair shop, he would unexpectedly find his little brother being beaten up. With no other option, he had to abandon his plan and step in.
His little brother's head was covered with cuts, bleeding profusely. He was about to tell his older brother that Chu Yuxuan was on the way when He Baobao's men caught up from behind.
"D*mn it! You run first! I'll fight them!" Li Bin drew out the watermelon knife hidden in his sleeve and turned around with a determined expression.
His little brother shook his head vigorously, "Brother, you go first! My leg is injured, I can't run! I... I'll hold them off, Chu..."
Before he could finish, Li Bin charged forward, "Get lost! My car is just ahead, the keys are still in it!" His little brother gritted his teeth, praying for Chu Yuxuan to come quickly while also rushing forward, "You're my big brother, if we die, we die together!" Thirty against two—there was no suspense.
Li Bin had a bit of viciousness, cutting down three or four people in the crowd. But before his little brother even reached him, he was knocked down by two blows and fell, trying to get up only to find He Baobao's men surrounding him.
"D*mn it!" He Baobao, wielding a homemade spiked club, angrily approached Li Bin and jabbed at his head, "What's your father's father called? Huh? Tell me, what's his name?"
Li Bin's face was twisted in anger as he glared at him, "Call your grandpa! You dog, if you have guts, fight me one-on-one!"
"One-on-one? Hahaha…" He Baobao sneered, "What era are we in, still talking about one-on-one? Hmph… Do you recognize this club? Oh, I forgot, you weren't there when it was used to kill your little brother. This club had a part in it too, hahahaha…"
Li Bin's eyes were bloodshot, unable to speak a word.
He Baobao mockingly said, "Since I'm responsible for maintaining order, I can't let taxpayers' money go to waste. Li Bin, you and your little thieves should taste this club!"
"You b*st*rd, if you can't kill me, I'll accept it! Let my brother go, I'll deal with you!"
"Are you still asleep?!" He Baobao kicked Li Bin, fuming, "You want to negotiate with me? Haha. You all must die!"
As he finished speaking, He Baobao gripped the club tightly and swung it violently.
However, before he could strike, several bright headlights suddenly appeared from a distance, with a few cars speeding towards them.
He Baobao paused, thinking it might be reinforcements Li Bin had called, and didn't rush to kill him. Instead, he swung a few more blows at Li Bin's back, "Let's see what kind of reinforcements you've brought!"
Li Bin howled, turning his head to look at the approaching cars. As they drew closer, it became clear they were his own men's cars. "These idiots, all here to court death!" Li Bin fumed, wanting to warn his men to flee, but He Baobao kicked him in the head. Soon, three cars stopped nearby, and Li Bin's men got out, seeing their boss being trampled by He Baobao, all of them furious.
"Are you out of your minds? Who told you to come?!" Li Bin yelled, "Get out of here!"
As soon as he finished, three people got out of the last car. Each wore a baseball cap and mask, leaving only their eyes visible, and they all wore white gloves, holding guns.
Li Bin's eyebrows suddenly furrowed as he stared at them, realizing that one of them looked like… Chu Yuxuan?
How did he get here?!
Li Bin's eyes filled with tears, thinking his men must have called Chu Yuxuan. Chu Yuxuan still regarded him as one of his own! When he had previously said to speak up if he needed anything, he wasn't lying!
He Baobao looked at the three and saw they were all carrying M16 rifles. His anger flared up, "Still using the same old tricks? Huh? You really think I'm a three-year-old? Grenades and pistols are one thing, but assault rifles? Are you a suicide squad? A bunch of fools, even the acting is pathetic!"
"Hahaha…" The other thugs laughed, seemingly forgetting the scene where they had panicked from a few fake grenades. Chu Yuxuan ignored He Baobao's barking and took a few steps forward, looking at Li Bin, "Brother Bin, are you alright?"
Li Bin was so moved he almost cried, sobbing, "I'm fine, I... what?"
"Brother Bin?"
Before he could react, Chu Yuxuan turned his cold gaze to He Baobao and said, "He, do you know that Brother Bin is the decision-maker of our Dongfang Society?"
Li Bin: Am I dead and have crossed into a parallel universe?
Previously, he had often fantasized about making a name for himself in the underworld, recruiting talented people, and developing his own power. The name of the gang would be loud and clear, called "Dongfang Society."
But his skills were average, he had no connections, and his little brothers were just petty criminals. So, this fantasy remained just that—a fantasy, only talked about drunkenly with his underlings.
Did these guys really tell Chu Yuxuan about this? Li Bin's face was stiff with embarrassment, realizing that Chu Yuxuan was just joking.
He Baobao blinked in surprise and then burst into laughter, "Dongfang Society? Decision-maker? Hahaha… Li Bin, did your little brothers come from acting? Watched too many Hong Kong movies? Driving three beat-up cars and playing gangsters with me? Hahaha… Alright, alright, Dongfang Society, I've decided to use that name from now on. Hahaha… Brothers, go!"
With that, the thugs began to approach Chu Yuxuan and his men.
One thug, who had been scared by the fake grenades thrown by Li Bin and had wet his pants, cursed as he walked, "D*mn it! Still holding machine guns? Why didn't you bring a few grenades too?!"
Old Fourth took a step forward, pulled a grenade from his pocket, and said calmly, "How did you know I had one? But, since we were in a hurry, I only brought one."
Chu Yuxuan quickly stepped back and warned Li Bin, "Brother Bin, duck your head and cover your ears."
Old Fourth pulled the pin from the grenade and threw it.
Seeing their serious demeanor, He Baobao laughed so hard he almost fell over, "Others might love even in death, but you're still acting even when you're dead! The thug who had just cursed accurately caught the grenade, showing no fear, and mocked, "Oh? It even smokes, this…"
"Boom!!!"
