Chapter 119 Eruption

Lu Feng's decision to act was partly due to Li Hongze's subtle prompting, but more so because his own mindset had been completely shattered.

In the first half of the situation, Lu Feng had the advantage, leveraging Changqing Company's resources. However, in the second half, he inexplicably found himself on the defensive. His underling, Huachenshan, was arrested, the seemingly guaranteed Zhan Nan district deal fell through, Zheng Fu'an from the management committee was full of complaints, and Li Xing had publicly berated him more than once. Moreover... Lu Feng himself had lost an ear. As for the financial losses, they were too much to bear.

Lu Feng wasn't some suit-wearing big boss; he was Changqing Company's top enforcer, a genuine member of the Jianghu (martial world). And what did such people value most?

Face!

Changqing Company's flurry of actions not only failed to achieve their goals but also required them to compensate those four companies Lu Feng looked down upon with 600,000 yuan. Who could accept that?

If business continued this way, who in the industry would still fear Changqing Company? Who would still give Lu Feng face?

Without face, how could a Jianghu figure make money?

So, Lu Feng was truly desperate. Killing those few people would only result in his underlings serving prison time, a price he was willing to pay.

They refused to submit? Then just fight!

…

From the moment Su Tianyu swung the floor lamp at Lu Feng, a bloody brawl was unavoidable.

At the entrance, over twenty Changqing thugs armed with machetes and steel pipes swarmed in, hacking at anyone in sight. Dozens of people inside the room were instantly embroiled in a chaotic fight.

Su Tianbei and his younger brother, Su Tianzhan, each pulled out a cleaver from their waists and charged towards the most densely packed area at the entrance.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Liu Laoer roared hysterically, but no one paid him any attention. Seeing the attackers charging towards him, he nimbly darted into the bathroom, locked the door, and braced it with his shoulder, afraid to make a sound.

Seeing the intense scene inside, Bai Hongbo's courage wavered. He ran to the bathroom door, frantically banging and shouting, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, open the door!"

Liu Laoer remained silent.

"Uncle Liu, let me in! Someone's coming... Uncle Liu, open the door! Uncle Liu, I..."

From Su Tianbei's side, Kong Zhenghui and his brother also rushed in. These two weren't pushovers either. Though usually quiet, they were absolutely ruthless in a fight. Their father, nearing sixty, had been framed and thrown into prison, where he would undoubtedly suffer!

Old and new grievances were settled at that moment!

Su Tianbei, Su Tianzhan, and the Kong brothers, four of them, were hacking wildly at over a dozen people at the entrance. With their backs against the wall, they had nowhere to dodge. If they didn't fight back, they would surely be cut down!

The Changqing Company men were equally fierce. After three or four of their men were forced back, those on the periphery immediately filled the gap, cursing and swinging their weapons with deadly intent.

In the center of the living room, Su Tianyu, silent as a mute, was locked in a fierce struggle with Lu Feng.

After being struck twice in the head by Su Tianyu's lamp, Lu Feng was bleeding profusely. But as the two grappled at close range, the awkward lamp became useless, leaving them to resort to bare-knuckle fighting!

Neither of them uttered a sound as they wrestled, both gritting their teeth, pursing their lips, and staring intently at the other, trying desperately to strike a vital point!

At first, Lu Feng hadn't taken Su Tianyu seriously, thinking of him as just a kid, and not particularly strong. But as the fight progressed, Lu Feng realized he was finding it difficult to subdue him.

Lu Feng was trained; otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the nickname "First Blade of Zhan Nan." His reaction speed, coordination, and ruthlessness were far superior to the average person. While it wasn't like those exaggerated martial arts films where one person could take on a hundred, in a one-on-one fight, most people couldn't withstand two of his punches.

In the living room, Lu Feng grabbed Su Tianyu by the collar, took a step to the side, and pulled back hard, trying to use the momentum to knock Su Tianyu down. But the latter grabbed his arm tightly with both hands, circled halfway around on the ground, then suddenly rose up and kneed Lu Feng directly in the abdomen!

"Bang!"

Lu Feng's eyes bulged with pain. He pried at Su Tianyu's arm with both hands, lost his balance, and fell onto the sofa with him!

…

Down on the street below.

A police officer held a phone and dialed Wang Daolin's number. "It looks like they're fighting at Fumanlou. Should we go up?"

"Fighting?" Wang Daolin was a little confused.

"I don't know!" The officer shook his head.

"What can you do if you go up? Who are you going to arrest?" Wang Daolin thought for a moment and replied, "Don't worry about it. Li Hongze isn't an idiot; he knows what he's doing."

"Understood," the officer responded.

Across the street, police officers from another faction also called Li Xing. "It's kicked off inside!"

"Did Wang Daolin's men go up?" Li Xing asked.

"No, they're still across the street!"

"Then don't worry about it. Let them do whatever they want," Li Xing said with some dissatisfaction. "But if someone dies, I'll arrest Lu Feng along with them!"

With that, Li Xing hung up.

…

Inside the Sihai private room.

Su Tianbei lay on the ground, his chest, arms, and legs covered in cuts and bruises from the blades and steel pipes. He looked like a blood gourd, a terrifying sight.

"F*ck your mother! You punk, do you submit? Kneel down and call me grandpa, and I'll let you take the money and leave!" A burly man, his own head bleeding, pointed a knife at Su Tianbei and roared.

Su Tianzhan bent down and tried to pull Su Tianbei up, but the latter gritted his teeth and stood up, leaning his back against the wall. "I'll submit to your mother's c*nt!!! Either you kill me today, or I'll take the money and walk out of here myself!"

The burly man looked at the near-lifeless Su brothers and Kong brothers, bit his lip, and roared, "Do it! Cut his mouth off!"

"Whoosh!"

Everyone charged again.
