"Every time they smash and grab, it's just some petty thugs from around here! Even if we call the police, it's useless. They get caught and are out in a few days."
Hu Han's face showed clear annoyance as he spoke. Having come from the lower rungs of society, he understood such matters all too well. However, without similar tactics, simply relying on the police wouldn't stop it.
"But why would they target your warehouse?"
Zhou Tong suddenly asked. Hu Han's expression froze for a moment, then he seemed to recall something and instinctively glanced at Li Chonglou.
At that moment, Li Chonglou also asked, "Were they just causing trouble, but not escalating things?"
Hu Han nodded. Li Chonglou immediately chuckled, "Then it's most likely correct. They must be trying to get information about your goods."
Zhou Tong had asked that question because he was the first to realize this, and he couldn't help but say with some concern, "Are we still sending the goods then?"
Hu Han's expression became troubled. "This is the only warehouse authorized to ship to those sellers. This batch of goods must go back there first."
Only then did the two realize that although the batch of fine goods Hu Han mentioned didn't specify styles, they did specify a shipping address. Only goods shipped from that warehouse would be acknowledged.
In fact, the location of Hu Han's warehouse was in a nationally renowned clothing district, and others were attracted by this reputation.
At this moment, Li Chonglou suddenly spoke.
"Since that's the case, then send them!"
Zhou Tong frowned, worriedly asking, "What if they find out and directly send people to burn it down?"
Li Chonglou suddenly turned his gaze to Yue Hai. Seeing this, they also subconsciously looked over.
Suddenly being stared at by the three, Yue Hai looked confused and said, "What's wrong?"
Li Chonglou smiled, "I'll have to trouble you to accompany us this time. If anyone causes trouble, you can lend a hand."
Yue Hai then realized.
"You scared me, I thought it was something serious. No problem!"
However, Zhou Tong and Hu Han hadn't witnessed Yue Hai's strength and couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Can one person really handle it?"
Hearing this, Yue Hai felt a little indignant, "What do you mean 'one person'? As long as they're not a pervert like him, I'm not afraid!"
Yue Hai said, pointing. Li Chonglou immediately rolled his eyes. Hu Han instantly understood what Yue Hai meant, but Zhou Tong, having never seen Li Chonglou's strength, was momentarily bewildered.
But the matter was thus settled.
Finally, as Li Chonglou left alone, he couldn't help but sigh. He had originally hoped Yue Hai would protect him, but now he was alone again.
In this world, plans truly never keep up with changes.
However, as Li Chonglou arrived near Panjiayuan and intended to take a car back, a group of unfamiliar men suddenly rushed out from a nearby alley and, without a word, dragged Li Chonglou into the alley.
Having lost all his strength and still being in a weak state, Li Chonglou couldn't resist at first. He could only protect his vital areas as about ten people surrounded him in the alley and beat him.
Kicked and punched, they continued for a good five to six minutes before stopping. They then dispersed.
However, what they didn't know was that after they left, Li Chonglou got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, dusting himself off.
"Damn, Xiao Li, you can endure that."
In his mind, Old Lin said indignantly.
"Just ordinary people. As long as they don't use weapons, they can't harm me. Besides, in my current state, how can I fuse anyway?"
Li Chonglou replied calmly. This wasn't just bravado. Although his strength was sealed, his physical instincts were still there. It was a body tempered through countless trials, and mere ordinary people's fists and kicks were truly like an itch to Li Chonglou.
It's just that when he was dragged into the alley, he accidentally took a punch to the face, and his eyes were a little bruised now.
"These guys didn't even say a harsh word, making it impossible to know who sent them."
Li Chonglou muttered with some frustration, then continued to hail a taxi back to Yian.
With his body in a weak state, he couldn't even perform soul fusion. This time, he really had to suffer a loss. Fortunately, the opponent's methods weren't too fierce, otherwise, he might have had to force a soul fusion.
The consequences were truly unpredictable. It might not be a big problem, but it could also be very serious! Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Li Chonglou did not intend to force a soul fusion.
So, for the sake of safety, Li Chonglou went to Honggang after returning to Yian.
"Uncle Yue."
Yue Fu was somewhat surprised by Li Chonglou's sudden visit. After entering his office, Yue Fu immediately said cautiously,
"I've had people delete all the surveillance videos related to you. This matter really has nothing to do with you, right? It seems the head office has been alerted."
Yue Fu's words clearly indicated he was worried about being implicated. Li Chonglou saw this and reassured him.
"Don't worry. I also know people in the head office. I've made a call this time, and it's fine. Besides, this matter truly has nothing to do with me."
Yue Fu then breathed a deep sigh of relief and simultaneously realized that Li Chonglou's identity might be more complicated than he had imagined.
Their first meeting had already caused a stir in the entire Honggang branch, and now he was involved in an explosion case in Shangjing but managed to emerge unscathed. Yue Fu couldn't fathom what kind of position would grant such privileges.
At this time, Li Chonglou also stated the purpose of his visit.
"I seem to have been targeted recently. Can you send a few police officers to follow me for a few days?"
If an ordinary person had come and said this, even with his connections, Yue Fu would not have agreed. But for Li Chonglou, he didn't even hesitate.
"No problem. However, we are also assisting with the explosion case over there, so we can only spare two personnel."
Li Chonglou thought for a moment and said, "Then one is enough, but they must be armed."
Yue Fu's eyes narrowed. "It's that serious?"
"Just in case. It's possible nothing will happen."
"Alright."
Then, without delay, Yue Fu immediately summoned a competent police officer, who appeared to be around thirty years old.
His name was also Xiao Li, and he often undertook plainclothes assignments. Such tasks were commonplace for him.
After greeting him, Li Chonglou left the Honggang sub-bureau with the officer.
Thinking of buying some daily necessities for the new company office, Li Chonglou went to a mall first.
However, unexpectedly, he encountered an 'acquaintance' here.
"It's him."
Looking at the figure with a protruding belly in the distance, Li Chonglou recognized him at a glance as the head of the external defense department, Zhong Tian, who had made things difficult for him at the Hu Corporation before. And at this moment, he was embracing a hot and attractive woman, living a good life.
