Chapter 87: Dao Ge

"Mr. Jiang, be careful!"

Murong Wan let out a startled scream, her complexion changing instantly,

However, Jiangnan's next move left her staring dumbfounded.

She saw Jiangnan standing still, motionless, his right hand shooting out like lightning, two fingers gently pinching the steel pipe the yellow‑haired thug had smashed toward him.

That heavy, massive steel pipe in Jiangnan's hand was like a fragile branch, unable to move a fraction.

The yellow‑haired thug exerted all his strength, his face flushed scarlet, yet he could not pull the steel pipe from Jiangnan's grasp.

"You…"

A look of terror appeared in the yellow‑haired thug's eyes.

He finally realized he had hit a dead end.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Jiangnan applied a slight pressure with his fingers, and the steel pipe was abruptly snapped in two!

The cut surface of the broken steel pipe was smooth as a mirror, as if cut by a laser.

Everyone was stunned, mouths agape, unable to speak.

Is this still human?

Barehanded Steel Pipe Break—how much strength must that require?

The yellow‑haired thug was even more terrified, his soul fleeing, his legs went weak, nearly kneeling on the ground.

"Get out."

Jiangnan spoke again, his voice still calm.

But this time, it carried an undeniable authority.

The yellow‑haired thug, as if pardoned, retreated backward, crawling and rolling.

The other thugs also dropped their weapons one after another, following the yellow‑haired thug in fleeing the construction site.

"Are you okay?"

Jiangnan turned, looking at Murong Wan as he asked.

"I... I'm fine."

Murong Wan came to herself, looking at Jiangnan, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

"Mr. Jiang, you saved me again."

"If it weren't for you, I truly wouldn't know what to do."

"A trivial matter."

Jiangnan said lightly.

"These people, at a glance, are being ordered by someone."

"Behind them, there must be someone."

Murong Wan nodded.

"I know."

"Besides the Cheng Family, who else could it be?"

"The Xingchen Plaza Project has messed with their cake; they naturally won't be satisfied."

"It seems we need to be careful from now on."

Jiangnan spoke.

"I will send people to investigate thoroughly."

Murong Wan nodded, her gaze turning toward the Cheng Group's building not far away.

"Cheng Group, can't sit still any longer?"

…

The yellow‑haired thug, crawling and rolling, fled the construction site.

Like a bereaved dog, in a sorry state.

He ran several hundred meters in one breath, and only when he confirmed Jiangnan wasn't pursuing did he dare to stop.

Looking back, the construction site had become a tiny black dot.

The yellow‑haired thug still felt lingering fear, cold sweat streaming from his forehead.

He wiped away the sweat, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"Hello, Dao Ge, something happened..."

Before he could finish, the call was rudely cut off.

"What happened? A bunch of trash can't even handle this little matter!"

On the other end, a rough voice came, tone full of impatience.

"Dao Ge, this time is truly different; that kid, that kid is really weird!"

The yellow‑haired thug hurriedly explained, his voice trembling.

"Weird? How weird could it be? Could it even fly through the sky or vanish underground?"

Dao Ge snorted coldly, clearly not believing.

"No, Dao Ge, that kid broke the steel pipe with his bare hands, as easy as snapping a branch!"

The yellow‑haired thug recalled the scene, his heart still pounding.

"What? Barehanded Steel Pipe Break?"

On the other end, Dao Ge's voice finally changed, carrying a hint of surprise.

"Yes, Dao Ge, I saw it with my own eyes, it can't possibly be a lie!"

Huang Mao swore solemnly.

On the other end of the phone there was a moment of silence, as if pondering something.

"Alright, I understand. You all come back first."

Dao Ge finished speaking and hung up.

Huang Mao put away his phone and let out a long sigh.

Finally, he got rid of this hot potato.

He called his henchmen behind him, preparing to leave.

"Damn, this time we really hit a wall; we almost risked our lives."

One henchman, still trembling, spoke up.

"Who says it's not? That kid is practically not human, a monster!"

Another henchman echoed.

"Alright, no more talk, let's go quickly!"

Huang Mao urged.

The group slunk away, disappearing at the end of the street.

Meanwhile, inside a luxurious office.

A burly man with a face full of flabby flesh sat in the Boss Chair, twirling a Sharp Dagger in his hand.

He was Dao Ge.

Dao Ge, whose real name is Li Dadao, is a notorious thug leader in the area, commanding a band of desperados who specialize in shady dealings.

The Cheng Family found him and sent him to the Xingchen Square Construction Site to cause trouble and disrupt the project's progress.

For Dao Ge, that was a piece of cake.

He could easily dispatch a few subordinates and get the job done.

But he hadn't expected to slip up this time.

"Barehanded Steel Pipe Break? Interesting."

Dao Ge's mouth curled into a sneer, and a flash of ferocity flickered in his eyes.

He thrust the Dagger into the table, producing a crisp "crack" sound.

"Someone, come!"

Dao Ge shouted toward the doorway.

A man in black answered and entered, standing respectfully before Dao Ge.

"Dao Ge, what are your orders?"

The man in black lowered his head and asked.

"Go, bring those few trash to me!"

Dao Ge ordered.

"Yes!"

The man in black took the command and left.

Soon after, Huang Mao and the others were led into the office.

They bowed their heads, daring not to meet Dao Ge's gaze.

"Speak up, what happened?"

Dao Ge leaned back in the Boss Chair, propping his legs up, looking utterly indifferent.

Huang Mao dared not conceal anything and recounted the events at the construction site in full detail.

Of course, he embellished, painting Jiangnan as a three‑headed, six‑armed, immensely powerful monster.

"Dao Ge, that kid is truly sinister; we are no match for him!"

Huang Mao finished speaking, yet still tried to exonerate himself.

"A bunch of trash!"

Dao Ge slammed the table hard, causing Huang Mao and the others to shiver all over.

"If you can't even handle a single kid, what use are you to me?"

Dao Ge roared, his voice like thunder, echoing through the office.

"Dao Ge, calm down, we truly did our best..."

Huang Mao tried to explain further, but Dao Ge cut him off.

"Alright, no more talk, I'll handle this myself."

Dao Ge stood up, stretching his limbs, producing a "clack" sound.

"You few, come with me. I want to see what this Barehanded Steel Pipe Break kid is truly capable of!"

Dao Ge's eyes glittered with excitement, like a bloodthirsty beast catching the scent of prey.

"Dao Ge, you intend to act personally?"

Huang Mao and the others exchanged glances, both surprised and frightened.

The surprise stemmed from the fact that Dao Ge hadn't acted personally in a long time.

The fear was that once Dao Ge acted, blood would surely be shed.

"What? Are you scared?"

Dao Ge glanced at Huang Mao and the others, sneering coldly.

"No, we're not afraid; we swear to follow Dao Ge to death!"

Huang Mao and the others quickly pledged their loyalty.

"Hmph, I guess you wouldn't dare either!"

Dao Ge let out a cold snort and was the first to walk out of the office.
