Chapter 1926: You Have Some Backbone?

"Li Hao, this is Yang Ruoyun. Just now, Liu Laoda from the Heilong Gang called me, demanding I hand over triple the losses within three days, or else they will take action against me." Yang Ruoyun said, panting.

"If he is so capable, let him come find me." Li Hao sneered. "I am coming to find you immediately. Wait for me."

Yang Ruoyun hung up the phone; she knew Li Hao would definitely find a way to solve it. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Shortly after, Li Hao arrived at Yang Ruoyun's office. He closed the door, sat opposite Yang Ruoyun, and said, "Now that we know the Heilong Gang's threat, what should we do next?"

Yang Ruoyun said, "I think we should first find their hiding place, then capture them all in one stroke."

Li Hao nodded. "I thought of that too. I have already sent people to investigate. However, before that, we must prepare our own safety measures. I will arrange people to protect you and the child."

Yang Ruoyun looked at Li Hao gratefully. "Thank you, Li Hao. Without you, I truly do not know what to do."

Li Hao smiled. "Don't be so polite. We are friends. I will do my utmost to help you."

The two discussed the follow-up action plan, then went their separate ways. Li Hao arranged personnel to protect Yang Ruoyun and her child, while continuing to investigate the Heilong Gang's hiding place.

Three days passed quickly. However, the Heilong Gang did not take any action. This made Yang Ruoyun and Li Hao feel somewhat strange. Was the other side preparing something bigger? Or had they already left this city?

Just as Yang Ruoyun and Li Hao were preparing to take action, a stranger called: "Young Lady Yang? I know you are in trouble recently. If you want to know the Heilong Gang's hiding place, please come find me."

Yang Ruoyun was stunned; the other party had already hung up the phone. She immediately called Li Hao to tell him this news.

"Sounds like a trap." Li Hao pondered. "But we have no other choice now. I will arrange people to protect you and take you to see him."

Yang Ruoyun nodded. "Good. I believe you will protect me well."

Under Li Hao's arrangement, Yang Ruoyun and several bodyguards came to an abandoned warehouse. It was very remote, with no people around. Yang Ruoyun felt somewhat nervous inside; she did not know what method the other party would use to deal with her. But she knew that as long as she was with Li Hao, she would not feel lonely and helpless.

After waiting in the warehouse for a while, a stranger appeared. He looked very young, yet gave a very dangerous feeling. After walking into the warehouse and closing the door, he looked coldly at Yang Ruoyun: "You are Yang Ruoyun, right? I am the representative sent by Liu Laoda of the Heilong Gang."

Yang Ruoyun's face darkened. "Do you think this can threaten me?"

The other party sneered. "I am just here to convey our boss's words. If you want to save your life and your family's lives, quickly hand over the triple losses to us." Yang Ruoyun trembled all over with anger: "Do you think your Heilong Gang is that powerful? I tell you, I am not afraid at all!"

The other party suddenly pulled out a handgun and aimed it at Yang Ruoyun: "If you are not honest, I will make you see blood!"

Yang Ruoyun was so scared her face turned pale; she knew the other party was not joking. She tried to stay calm: "You had better put down the gun, or you will regret it."

The other party burst out laughing: "Do you think I was raised by fear? I tell you, today you are doomed!"

Just then, gunshots suddenly came from outside the door. Immediately after, the bodies of several Heilong Gang members were carried in.

"You are under arrest!" Li Hao walked in from the door, with several police officers following behind him.

The other party was so scared his face turned pale, and the handgun fell to the ground: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Who are we? We are the people who will take you back to face legal punishment!" Li Hao said in a deep voice.

Yang Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief; she looked at Li Hao gratefully: "Thank you, Li Hao. If you had not arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have..."

Li Hao smiled. "Don't be so polite. We are friends."

Under the police's lead, the Heilong Gang representative was taken away. Yang Ruoyun and Li Hao also left the warehouse.

"Thank you, Li Hao. If you had not arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have..." Yang Ruoyun repeated again.

Li Hao waved his hand: "Stop talking; you have already said it."

Yang Ruoyun smiled. "Alright. But I will remember this favor."

The two returned to the city together. On the way, they began discussing the next action plan. Although the Heilong Gang had been defeated, they knew there were still many other gang forces in this city. They must be prepared to deal with future challenges.

"What do we do next?" Yang Ruoyun asked.

"First, we must handle this batch of contraband properly." Li Hao said. "I have already contacted informants; they will take this batch of things out."

"Then we will think about how to handle the Heilong Gang matter." Li Hao continued. "We must completely eliminate their power, or the aftermath will be endless."

Yang Ruoyun nodded. "I agree. But we must be careful not to let anyone know we did it."
