Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Grass! Who the fuck parked their car here?"

The fatty walking at the very front wasn't paying attention and nearly crashed into the van; looking at the bread van blocking the middle of the road, he couldn't help but kick its tire, cursing under his breath: "Damn it, blocking the road this tightly, got any public morality left!"

The fatty cursed and stumbled sideways around the bread van, had only taken two steps when "clang" — the van's side door was suddenly yanked open, a big hand reached out from inside and clamped down tight on his wrist.

Then, four men wearing black vests jumped out of the bread van, each tall and powerfully built, figures agile.

The man holding the fatty rushed behind him, arm locking around his neck in a chokehold.

The fatty struggled frantically a couple of times, discovered the man behind him had astonishing strength, and instantly paled in terror, roaring at Hu Ge: "Hu Ge! Run!"

Hu Ge reacted fast; the four had just jumped out when he reflexively turned and ran for his life back the way they came.

But he hadn't run more than a few steps before a man behind him kicked him in the back of the knee — "thud" — he dropped to his knees, then that man pinned him firmly to the ground.

Yellow-hair and Shorty didn't even have time to react before the remaining two men from the van subdued them.

Afterward, the four men hoisted them up like chicks and stuffed all four into the bread van, not one missing.

The door slammed shut with a "bang," then the engine roared and the van drove straight off into the distance.

The four abducted into the van struggled violently at first, trying to call for help or escape.

But the four men in the cabin didn't say a word the whole time; no matter how they struggled and thrashed, a pair of big hands clamped down on each of them like iron hoops, pinning them so they couldn't move.

The bread van appeared to be soundproofed; the few of them screamed their throats raw inside the van for a long time, yet not a shred of sound reached the outside.

After struggling a while, Hu Ge and the others gradually lost strength; the van held only the engine's roar and their heavy breathing.

"Brothers, which road are you from? Where did we offend you?"

Hu Ge gradually calmed down, looked at the man pinning him and asked in a low voice.

But the answer was silence; the few men in black vests in the van didn't even glance at them once, not a single word spoken the whole trip.

Looking at their cold, stern expressions, Hu Ge and the others wore faces of despair, their minds conjuring all sorts of guesses.

Could it be they accidentally provoked a big shot on the streets, and now they're gonna be taken to have their kidneys harvested?

But after mixing in Jiangcheng for so many years, they'd never heard of any big shot occupying this place?

And the few of them usually only did petty stuff, never provoked anyone with deep background.

Hu Ge racked his brains but couldn't figure out the origins of these few people before him.

But seeing their unsmiling expressions, he had a feeling — tonight, the few of them were more likely to meet ill fortune than good.

Hu Ge's mind couldn't help flashing to his little sister's face; she should be home by now, still waiting for him to bring food back.

Had he known he'd run into this, he wouldn't have gone out tonight no matter what.

The fatty and the others beside Hu Ge were also motionless now, each curled up trembling.

The fatty was nearly scared pissless, but afraid of being thrown off the speeding van, he was desperately holding it in, face flushed red.

The bread van drove very steadily, only occasional bumps, and it wasn't heading for desolate outskirts.

Fifteen minutes later, the bread van entered a large courtyard and slowly stopped.

After the vehicle steadied, the four on the van wordlessly opened the doors again and roughly hauled Hu Ge and the others out.

In the spacious courtyard, a dozen burly figures stood ramrod straight on both sides, each with an agile build and sharp gaze just like the men who had escorted Hu Ge's group, their whole bodies exuding an indescribable pressure.

And leading these people were four white-haired old men sitting in the very center of the courtyard.

Hu Ge looked at the four old men, the more he looked the more familiar they seemed.

He suddenly remembered — weren't these four old men the ones he'd seen queuing at Lu Family Restaurant these past two days?

Only he was deeply puzzled: his group and these old men had never had the slightest intersection before?

And judging by the current scene's formation, these four old men's identities were definitely not ordinary.

The Xiao Li who'd driven the van just now ran over swiftly, saluted one of the old men, and said very respectfully: "Master Qin, people brought, it's these few."

Master Qin straightened up; the amiable smile he always wore while eating at Lu Family Restaurant was gone, now his face was overcast, voice not loud but carrying a very domineering tone: "Put them down."

The moment Master Qin's words fell, the black-clad men holding Hu Ge's group released their hands in neat unison, threw Hu Ge and the others on the ground, then jogged back behind Master Qin and the others and stood ramrod straight, eyeing them like tigers watching prey.

The courtyard's flagstones were icy and hard; Hu Ge and the others curled into a ball on the ground.

They still hadn't recovered from the shock just now, scanning their surroundings with lingering fear.

"Old... Old Grandpa, I've seen you before..."

Hu Ge was the first to compose himself; he looked at Master Qin and the others and asked carefully: "You brought us here, what do you want to do?"

Master Qin slowly looked at Hu Ge; that gaze made Hu Ge uncomfortable all over, feeling like a fawn targeted by a hunter.

"Why you were brought here, don't you few know?"

Master Qin tapped the chair's armrest with a finger, face cold as he countered: "What you few did just now, do I need to remind you once more?"

Hu Ge's heart "clunked" once, instantly realizing.

What this old man meant, wasn't it just the matter of them surrounding Lu Feng in the alleyway a moment ago?

So these old men brought people to vent anger for Lu Boss!

Hu Ge subconsciously lowered his head, voice dropping: "I... we..."

"Speak, why did you beat Xiao Lu?"

Sitting beside Master Qin, Liu Zhen Guo's bristles stood up, eyes glaring round, voice loud and clear, shaking Hu Ge's ears buzzing: "How did he provoke you!"

Hu Ge shuddered all over; facing these old men was like a primary school student meeting the dean of discipline; hardening his scalp he confessed: "We... we just queued for several days and couldn't eat Lu Boss's food, last time we asked him to open a special kitchen and make a few dishes, he wouldn't agree... we few felt indignant, so we thought... thought to give him a lesson..."
