Chapter 142 "Smash His Home!"

Inside the corridor on the left side of the hall, Er Mao pointed at Xiao Hu on the ground and roared, "Get him! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

At his command, countless feet, fists, and various objects rained down on Xiao Hu.

When arrogance reaches its peak, trouble is sure to follow!

This old saying is absolutely right. Just look at the news. How many high-ranking officials and successful bosses have been ruined because they shielded their reckless, brainless wives who caused trouble everywhere!

Compared to ordinary people, Xiao Hu had indeed made something of himself. But compared to the big bosses behind the scenes, or even someone like Xu Jinbo, he was still just a henchman, a small shrimp. But he didn't understand the principle of restraint, so one wrong step led to disaster!

The grassroots brothers who came to demand compensation had been holding back a lot of anger. They were really beating Xiao Hu to death, especially his foul mouth. After only two or three waves of concentrated attacks, Xiao Hu collapsed against the wall, limp and unmoving.

At this moment, members of the security department from all floors rushed down, a crowd of fifty or sixty people. Even those in the underground parking lot heard the news and hurried up.

The Baolong Group headquarters building was thirty-six stories high, and each floor had security personnel. So, the security guards who came down were just a small portion. More were on their way.

As the security personnel rushed out of the elevator, the leader, a young man in a tight-fitting suit, saw Xiao Hu beaten down and unable to move. He immediately yelled at the top of his lungs, "Damn it, you've rebelled! Beat them, beat them to death!"

The security members were paid to do their job. When the higher-ups spoke, they couldn't disobey. Plus, none of the protesters were carrying prohibited items, so they had no qualms. Wielding their batons, they all charged forward.

The two groups clashed at the entrance of the first-floor corridor, a chaotic brawl erupting. The young man in the suit, in particular, was shouting the loudest while holding a gun, "Damn it, kick these bums out! Beat them to death!"

"You think you're tough?!" Er Mao cut through the crowd and kicked the suited man in the abdomen.

"Gudong!"

The suited man staggered back against the wall, raising his gun and shouting, "You try moving again, and I swear I'll kill you!"

"Come on, come on, I won't even look up to you if you don't kill me!" Er Mao reached out and grabbed the other man's collar.

"Bang!!"

It was unclear whether the suited man was nervous facing Er Mao or whether he was truly willing to shoot. But as Er Mao took a step forward, the gunshot rang out!

"Pfft!"

Er Mao's left ribs were instantly splattered with blood. Fortunately, the other man's body was pressed against the wall, making his shooting posture awkward, so the bullet only grazed Er Mao's ribs, causing a superficial wound!

But this made Er Mao furious. He looked down at his ribs, his eyes bloodshot as he cursed, "You really dare to shoot, huh?!"

"Bang, bang!"

Er Mao punched the suited man twice in the face, his left hand swiftly pinning down the man's gun-wielding wrist. "Beat him to a pulp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Tiannan rushed up from behind and kicked the suited man in the abdomen!

Together, they first snatched the gun from the suited man, then delivered blows left and right, knocking him down onto the steps.

"You dare to shoot me?!" Er Mao had lived overseas since he was a child, working his way up from the bottom. He had experienced countless things. At his age and level, he could be considered a king-level street fighter.

Er Mao stepped on the suited man's chest, reached for his belt, folded it in half, and held the buckle-end downwards. "You think you're tough with a gun?! Huh?!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"……!"

Er Mao leaned against the wall, swinging his arm slightly, striking the suited man's head at least twenty times. The man's cheeks and head were lacerated, blood flowing freely!

The suited man became desperate and tried to push himself up, but Su Tiannan kicked him back down repeatedly.

"Puchi!"

In desperation, the suited man bit Er Mao's leg!

"Damn it!"

Er Mao recoiled in pain and, enraged, grabbed the trash can near the elevator entrance and slammed it down on the suited man's head!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"……!"

The nearly solid trash can struck the suited man's head four or five times, and the latter instantly stiffened and stopped moving.

"I'll beat you to death!" Er Mao wanted to strike again.

Su Tiannan grabbed Er Mao's arm. "Stop hitting him!"

Er Mao loosened his collar, panting, and waved his hand, roaring, "Smash everything! They're not paying anyway, smash all the offices in the building!"

On the periphery of the hall, the police officers couldn't restrain the crowd. Ultimately, they had no choice but to fire warning shots!

Three gunshots echoed inside, and the crowd briefly quieted down.

"Don't you all want to live?! You're committing a crime!" The leading officer pointed his gun at the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, squat down!"

The crowd turned to look behind them.

"I despise you dogs the most!" Su Tiannan suddenly pointed at the officer and cursed, "We appeal, and you don't care. We get beaten and insulted, and you still don't care! You wear those uniforms, but you're here to guard private companies, to stand watch for capital! The Dragon City judicial system will never improve with maggots like you!! I know a laborer who just came back from Sinaloa and wanted to apply for citizenship, but you exploited him layer by layer, forcing him to ruin! If I didn't have family holding me back, I would have gone to Sinaloa with Zhao Wei Hu long ago! To kill you parasites! The people from the Chi Army have guns and cannons, and when they enter Dragon City, you all turn a blind eye! Not a single one of you dares to stand up!"

The cursing echoed in the hall, and the officers looked shocked, even a little bewildered!

"Get out!!"

"If you don't get out, I'll beat you too!"

"……!"

The corridor entrance was a cacophony of voices, and the officers retreated amidst the spitting.

"Bang!"

Just then, another twenty or thirty people rushed in. The leader, one of Lu Feng's brothers, ran quickly to the left side and roared, "Who beat our workers?! Damn it, let's raid their homes!"

"Whirr!"

A group of people rushed into the corridor, and the second round of fighting began!

Five minutes later, multiple areas on the first and second floors of the Baolong Group were completely smashed. Those security personnel who hadn't arrived yet never showed their faces.

Five more minutes passed, and the Victory District police and the district riot squad arrived, trapping Su Tiannan, Er Mao, and the others inside the main building.

Er Mao panted and asked one of the brothers, "Did you record it?"

"Recorded!" The other man nodded. "I started recording when they came downstairs cursing!"

Er Mao waved his hand. "I'm going out. I'll go with them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the suited man who had just been beaten violently by Er Mao suddenly had blood gushing from his nostrils and began convulsing.

……

Longkou District.

Gu Bai Shun held a teacup and sat in his office chair, saying to a middle-aged man, "As soon as the mine accident happened, the Baolong Group found the stevedore association and asked Zhang Ming to help voice their support!"

"What did Zhang Ming say?" the middle-aged man asked.

"He wants to support them, to curry favor with the regulatory commission and the Baolong Group." Gu Bai Shun got up and said, "But I don't see it that way!"

"How do you see it then?"

"Have you truly understood the motives of Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan?" Gu Bai Shun asked.

"Isn't it just to demand compensation?" the middle-aged man frowned.

"That's one of the main reasons, but there's another reason." Gu Bai Shun said with a smile, "He just wants to extort Baolong!"

"Extort?!" The middle-aged man was shocked.

"The bigger Baolong's capital, the more inhumane their actions, the more it highlights the importance of the association." Gu Bai Shun turned to look out the window. "Su Tianyu isn't just speaking out for one Tongji Association; he's speaking out for hundreds of thousands, millions of workers in Dragon City!"

"But he can't speak now, right? Baolong has blocked all the media channels he could use."

"Don't worry, let's wait and see." Gu Bai Shun shook his head.
