Nakedly attacking those who helped you, twisting right and wrong.
Lin Weiwei's eyes widened, she simply couldn't believe there was such a scoundrel in the world.
Anxiously, she shouted on the spot, "You're slandering me, you're shameless!"
As soon as Ning Lang arrived, she knew the matter was settled. She had been worried about the safety of the shop and Li Chonglou just now, and only now dared to retort.
Li Chonglou, however, was accustomed to such things.
The antique business was a mixed bag. Those who achieved any success not only needed exceptional eyesight but also a sharp mind.
This Old Wu Liu was a prime example of using his cunning for crooked purposes.
"Are you that punk who wanted to kill me?" Ning Lang stared at Li Chonglou, a half-smile on his face.
"Isn't it easy to kill you?" Li Chonglou, seeing his casual demeanor, also joined in the jest, "With the country cracking down on crime so hard, you Yong'an overlord should be careful."
Old Wu Liu's eyes bulged upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected Li Chonglou to be so fearless. Knowing Ning Lang's identity, he still dared to speak to him in such a tone.
He immediately roared, "You little bastard, how dare you disrespect Master Lang, find..."
*Slap!*
Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Rui kicked him in the leg in front of everyone.
Before he could react, he directly knelt on the ground.
With a face full of shock, he turned his head, looked at Zheng Rui's slightly ferocious face, and stammered, "Brother Rui, why did you kick me?"
"Kicking you is the least of it. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll break your legs!" Zheng Rui glared, his killing intent immense, then pointed at Li Chonglou, "Do you know who he is?"
Old Wu Liu shook his head like a rattle drum, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Not a single one of his subordinates dared to move.
"He's Master Lang's brother, the Master Lou who took down Old Ghost single-handedly. You really have no eyes, daring to provoke him, do you want to die?" Zheng Rui's words instantly terrified Old Wu Liu, his eyes widening.
He sat down on the ground, his limbs weak, unable to support himself.
His face turned ashen, and sweat beads the size of beans dripped down his forehead.
His expression was one of utter horror: "This... how... how is this possible..."
As someone from Yong'an's underworld, how could he not know about Old Ghost's death? But the outside rumors were very sensational.
It was said that Old Ghost had offended a powerful figure and was killed, and the matter was dropped, which seemed to further support this speculation.
Later, Ning Lang monopolized Yong'an, forbidding anyone from mentioning the matter again.
He never expected that it was this unassuming young man in front of him who had done it.
Thinking of this, Ning Lang embraced Li Chonglou tightly, both of them laughing heartily.
This scene further terrified him.
This dull young man... no, this handsome young man was truly Master Lang's brother.
And he had just... oγg
This...
Everyone in the underworld knew how ruthless Master Lang was, but he was very good to his brothers.
And he, with his poor judgment, had tried to extort Li Chonglou. Wasn't this like the Dragon King's Temple being mistaken for a family misunderstanding?
If Master Lang pursued the matter, breaking his legs or arms would be considered light punishment.
*Thump!*
Old Wu Liu was not a complete fool after all. He mustered all his strength and, trembling, flipped over and knelt, kowtowing three times on the spot.
Then, with a stream of snot and tears, he wailed and begged, "Master Lou, spare my life... I was blind, I am a scoundrel, I shouldn't have come to extort Master Lou..."
"I, Old Wu Liu, know I was wrong, Master Lou, spare my life..."
Ning Lang released Li Chonglou and only then looked at Old Wu Liu.
The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes as he said, "Brother, you decide how to deal with him."
Li Chonglou had just returned to Yong'an, and before he even received any news, he was being extorted by his own subordinate.
If he didn't bring people to check on the shop and show his support every week, he would have lost face today.
Who was Li Chonglou?
Besides being his brother, he was also a serving soldier of the Xiong Ying.
Old Wu Liu was practically seeking death, and he had also torn Li Chonglou's reputation to shreds.
"Let him get lost," Li Chonglou said dismissively.
There were plenty of scoundrels like Old Wu Liu. If he hadn't been Ning Lang's subordinate, Li Chonglou might have taught him a small lesson.
But out of respect for Ning Lang, he didn't want to be too harsh.
After all, the definition of good or bad depended on the perspective.
"Rui Zi, go teach him how to behave," Ning Lang, seeing that Li Chonglou didn't seem angry, made his decision.
Zheng Rui walked directly in front of Old Wu Liu and kicked him down.
While Old Wu Liu was groaning and begging for mercy, he slapped him more than a dozen times, swelling his face into a pig's head, making it hard for him to breathe.
However, the fear in his eyes slowly disappeared, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Li Chonglou would play dirty and settle the score later.
Being beaten on the spot was the best outcome.
The people around watched this incredible scene, stunned into silence. They only snapped out of it when Old Wu Liu was carried away by his subordinates and then scattered.
Ning Lang and Li Chonglou went inside.
Lin Weiwei quickly made tea. Just as she served it, two police officers arrived.
One of them was the policewoman he had seen during the renovation last time.
Seeing Li Chonglou and Ning Lang, the policewoman's expression changed slightly, and she snorted, "You again, Li Chonglou."
"What a coincidence. We received a report that you are fighting here again?"
Ning Lang's name was known to almost everyone in Yong'an's law enforcement agencies. According to the current central policy, such underworld bosses should have been eliminated long ago.
But after an official investigation, Ning Lang had not committed murder or arson, nor had he engaged in any illegal activities, not even market monopolization. He was simply doing business cleanly.
As for Li Chonglou, he was already an acquaintance of hers. Last time, a conflict had occurred here, and the police were called.
As a result, they had almost arrested the wrong person.
She never expected these two to have teamed up.
"You still remember my name, that's quite rare. It's a pity I still don't know yours..." Li Chonglou smiled, teasing the policewoman.
With so many spectators outside just now, someone must have called the police.
However, Old Wu Liu had already left, and he wouldn't dare to make a sound, so it was destined that the policewoman would have made a trip in vain again.
"You're not qualified to know my name yet..." the policewoman feigned coldness.
Li Chonglou smiled, thinking that she was forcing his hand.
Then he couldn't blame him.
So, a blood-red flash appeared between his brows, and instantly, his Heavenly Eye divine ability was activated.
"Hey, Chonglou, why are you bleeding from the nose?" Ning Lang, with sharp eyes, exclaimed.
Li Chonglou quickly dispersed his Heavenly Eye, waved his hand, took the tissue paper from Lin Weiwei, and indicated he was fine.
He swallowed hard, thinking that this policewoman was too captivating, and that he must never activate his Heavenly Eye recklessly in the future.
Otherwise, it would drain his vital energy.
However, with just one glance, he had seen through the identification document in her pocket.
This scene left the policewoman bewildered and confused.
After Li Chonglou wiped his nosebleed, he regained his composure and said, "Officer He Yin, please find out who reported the case. We are law-abiding citizens and will not do anything against the law."
This simple statement stunned the policewoman, her beautiful eyes widening in shock.
