But amidst the sympathy, he quickly thought of himself.
"It's over, will they come for us next?"
Feng Zheng was the first to speak, looking at Ya Lili. It was clear that the person he was worried about was not himself, but Ya Lili. Zhang Yu quickly tugged at him and glared at him.
Noticing this, Li Chonglou said in a deep voice, "This matter indeed arose because of me, and their intentions might very well drag you into it. How about this, you arrange for more bodyguards these few days, and I'll investigate it as quickly as possible!"
"Brother Li, it's okay, we'll protect ourselves. No one wants this to happen, and we won't blame you."
Zhang Yu quickly chimed in, and Feng Zheng also realized his words were inappropriate and added.
"Yes, Brother Li, isn't this a clear provocation? This is a society governed by law, I'm not afraid of them! Brother Li, you don't need to worry about us!"
Ya Lili, who was beside them, said.
"I will also arrange for people to protect Fourth Uncle."
Li Chonglou nodded, then said no more, and turned directly to leave the ward. The moment he turned, the three of them could clearly feel a chill.
This time, Li Chonglou was truly filled with killing intent!
Previously, similar incidents were caused by Lin Qianqian's senior brother, He Wei, but even he only took action against those around him within the bounds of the law.
But now, this group of mysterious people had resorted to violence! And it was against an elderly person who was defenseless!
This had far exceeded his bottom line, and was even more serious than He Wei's actions!
After leaving the hospital, Li Chonglou found Old Fu.
After a brief explanation of the situation, Old Fu immediately agreed, promising to find the identities of these thugs and bring them to justice.
"Alas, it's a pity that abilities cannot be used recklessly now."
Leaving the Honggang Sub-bureau, Li Chonglou sighed deeply. Bearing the curse of power, he could not use his previous abilities unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, this matter could only be temporarily entrusted to Old Fu. After helping him find the people, he would investigate personally!
However, before Old Fu could find anyone, he received an unexpected call.
It was Li Meixia.
Unsurprisingly, she started talking about Fourth Master's affairs.
This was indeed his oversight. He had intended to discuss this matter with Li Meixia the day after he returned, but due to other events constantly occurring, he had forgotten.
Now that Li Meixia had contacted him personally, Li Chonglou took this opportunity to express his thoughts to her.
"You want to withdraw from the Qing Gang?"
Li Meixia's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Not exactly, but I don't want to hold any supervisor or deputy supervisor positions anymore."
"Did something happen? Did he pressure you?"
"Don't worry, that's impossible. I just suddenly don't want to be involved in so many matters."
Despite her myriad doubts, Li Meixia acquiesced to his wishes when Li Chonglou was so insistent. However, she did ask one final question.
"Then, if Fourth Master is in trouble, can you help out once?"
Li Chonglou had already anticipated this question from Li Meixia and directly stated his answer.
"Yes, but only once."
"That's enough."
After hanging up the phone, Li Chonglou let out a slight sigh of relief. This matter had gone smoother than he had expected. If not for Fourth Uncle's incident, his initial plans would have been almost complete.
He had chosen to keep a low profile in all aspects to avoid attracting attention, but reality dictated that he had stumbled upon a group of mysterious people again.
This led to his original plan of completely withdrawing from the Qing Gang being altered, as he had now left a fallback for himself. Because if he couldn't properly resolve the issue with these mysterious people now, he would have to return to his previous position and use his influence to solve it.
Although he could now also mobilize personnel through his police connections, he would prefer to rely on covert forces.
With covert forces, he could leave anytime he wished. If there were enemies, they would be dealt with directly! But if it involved overt matters, it would be entirely different, and he wouldn't be able to extricate himself as easily!
However, what he didn't know was that the mastermind behind what he considered his most serious problem was already filled with regret.
"The Zhang family, the Feng family, the Ya Corporation... and he even knows Officer Lin... Damn it, you're not going to tell me after my ashes have settled?"
In a luxurious office, the over sixty-year-old Master Gao, his subordinates, was furiously cursing.
Although he was advanced in age and appeared frail, he had been a notorious local bully in his youth! Therefore, as soon as he learned that his eldest son, Gao Feng, had been injured by someone, he immediately arranged for retaliation.
However, he hadn't expected that his subordinates would act before even thoroughly investigating the matter! Although the order was given by him, they should at least have conducted an investigation before acting!
Only after taking action did he learn from his subordinates that the people Li Chonglou associated with were not ordinary. If he used the old methods, he himself might end up in trouble!
"A bunch of idiots! I've really raised you all these years for nothing! Investigate the other party's background before taking action, do I need to teach you this again now?"
A middle-aged man kneeling in front of him didn't dare to raise his head, and instead lowered it even further.
"You bunch of useless people! I'll be killed by you sooner or later!"
Master Gao became increasingly angry as he cursed, and couldn't help but grab something nearby and throw it at the middle-aged man. Only after a long while did his emotions gradually calm down.
"Hmph, it's fortunate that you targeted an ordinary person first. You handle the person who took action yourself. This matter must not allow them to trace back to us!"
The middle-aged man, who had been kneeling on the ground, finally responded.
"Yes! Boss!"
Master Gao waved his hand impatiently. "Get out!"
After the middle-aged man stood up, he hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking.
"Boss, what about this person..."
Master Gao immediately became angry again. "If the covert approach doesn't work, use the overt one! Do I need to teach you such things?"
"Understood, Boss!"
Only then did the middle-aged man quickly exit the room.
Unaware of all this, Li Chonglou was currently on his way to Yi An Company.
He wasn't actually going to Yi An Company, but to a Qing Gang stronghold behind it to find Hei Dao.
When he saw Hei Dao, the latter was still wrapped in bandages and appeared dejected.
The death of so many brothers at once was something no one could easily recover from. Li Chonglou naturally understood this.
