105: Chapter 105 Danger Approaches

Chapter 105: Danger Approaches

Night fell, and neon lights flickered.

A van drove over leisurely and stopped by the roadside.

Several people looked through the car windows at an old, poorly decorated shop across the street.

A signboard hung in front of the door, bearing the words "Lin Fushengs Orthopedic Clinic".

The room was brightly lit, evidently still open for business.

"Is this the place?"

A bearded man asked.

"Brother Yong, this is it."

Jiyanzai nodded: "At that time, both of us brothers saw him and Ma Donghe walk out of this orthopedic clinic with our own eyes."

The brother sitting in the front row Driving seat acting as the driver immediately chimed in:

"Yeah, what a coincidence. The Young Miss who escaped from our turf before is actually working here too, and that assassin once stood up for her. The two of them must have a close relationship."

After receiving confirmation, Brother Yong's gaze flickered uncertainly, and he muttered ponderingly:

"It seems this is one of their strongholds..."

Suddenly remembering something, he asked with concern:

"Wait, is that assassin inside right now?"

Jiyanzai bared his teeth in a smile:

"Half an hour ago, I sent a few younger brothers over to collect protection money. They made a fuss for quite a while without seeing him appear. Inside, there was only a useless old man and that Young Miss."

Hearing this, Brother Yong breathed a sigh of relief:

"Good. As long as we can confirm the target's whereabouts, all of you will be rewarded. Brother Hui is much more generous than Sang Biao."

"Thank you, Brother Hui! Thank you, Brother Yong!"

Jiyanzai and his brother immediately grinned broadly, flattering them repeatedly.

Brother Yong stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:

"Later on, be quick and deft with your hands and feet. Just grab the woman and take her away, don't worry about anything else."

"Even if we can't get the whereabouts out of her, with this woman as leverage, we won't have to worry about that fellow not showing up obediently..."

After assigning the task, the car door was pulled open with a swish.

Jiyanzai led three other fierce-looking subordinate thugs and quickly jumped out of the car.

The group rolled up their sleeves, revealing tattooed arms, and swaggered across the street.

...

Inside the orthopedic clinic.

Wen Huiyi held a broom, carefully sweeping up the fragments of the shattered teacup on the floor.

Lin Fusheng had just finished a Bone-setting procedure for a patient.

He got up to wash his hands in the inner room, and walked out a moment later, casting his gaze toward Wen Huiyi:

"You weren't scared just now, were you? People often come to our clinic to cause trouble; just bear with it a little and it will pass."

Wen Huiyi smiled and said:

"It's fine. I used to see this kind of situation often before."

Lin Fusheng nodded, then pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to her.

Seeing this, Wen Huiyi was somewhat puzzled: "Master Lin, what is this?"

Lin Fusheng said:

"This is your advance salary. Raising your daughter alone makes life difficult for you, and there are many places where you need to spend money usually."

Hearing this, Wen Huiyi hurriedly waved her hands and said:

"No need, I still have a little bit of savings."

"Take it. I've seen your performance all these days, you've done very well..."

But Lin Fusheng would not take no for an answer, stuffing the envelope containing cash into her hand.

After speaking, he turned and walked into the inner room, preparing to drink some tea to refresh himself.

Wen Huiyi pinched the thick envelope with both hands, looking gratefully at Master Lin's back.

Then she couldn't help opening it to take a peek; there was probably a little over four thousand inside.

Instantly, she was even more overjoyed, thinking that besides subsidizing household expenses, she could also buy her daughter a down jacket so she could dress a bit warmer.

Just as Wen Huiyi's emotions were stirred,

suddenly, the clinic's front door was pushed open with a loud bang, roughly.

Four men who didn't look like good characters barged in, glaring and shouting at the patients sitting in the main hall:

"What are you looking at? Why aren't you getting lost yet?"

Wen Huiyi turned to look, thinking some punks had come to cause trouble again.

When she saw the face of one of them, her heart couldn't help but leap fiercely.

"Huiyi, long time no see."

Jiyanzai wore a smile as he greeted her:

"Don't be afraid. We are just sending you home. If you obediently cooperate, we won't hurt you."

Wen Huiyi's face turned pale as she panicked and shrank backward:

"I have already thrown in my lot with the Three Wolves Gang, I have nothing to do with you guys..."

"The Three Wolves Gang has already disbanded, and now this place belongs to us too."

Jiyanzai said with a smile, pausing slightly in his tone, and then continued:

"Of course, if you can tell us that man's address, we can also consider letting you go."

"What man?"

Wen Huiyi was stunned upon hearing this, and immediately shook her head in reply: "I don't know what you're talking about."

A burly man immediately stepped forward, grabbed her hair, and slapped her fiercely across the face:

"Stinking bitch, giving you face and you don't want it, huh?"

Wen Huiyi's fair face instantly turned red and swollen, and she trembled all over, not daring to resist at all.

Jiyanzai then pulled a small packet of white powder from his pocket and threw it at her feet:

"This is new merchandise from the gang, a free gift for you."

"As long as you tell us the address of that Three Wolves Gang assassin who stood up for you, we won't just let you go, we'll give you even more in the future."

With tears welling in her eyes, Wen Huiyi did not dare to look at that packet of powder, only shaking her head repeatedly:

"I don't know, I really don't know, I have nothing to do with you guys anymore..."

"Damn it, stop talking nonsense with her, just take her away and be done with it!"

Wen Huiyi let out a scream and was instantly grabbed by her hair and clothes by two burly men, who dragged her outward.

She stretched out her hand desperately, grabbing the leg of a nearby table, trying to put up a resistance.

But how could this meager strength compare to several strong-bodied men?

"Stop!"

Right at this moment, a somewhat low shout suddenly rang out.

Everyone couldn't help turning to look back.

They saw a man wearing an old-fashioned padded jacket and reading glasses lifting the cloth curtain and walking out from the inner room.

"Are all the people in the Jianghu nowadays like you scumbags who only know how to bully women?"

Lin Fusheng walked slowly to the center of the main hall. As he spoke, he took off his reading glasses and placed them on the table.

Seeing this, several thugs from the Red Tiger Gang couldn't help exchanging glances and snickering.

"What does this old fellow want to do? Is he going crazy and looking for a beating?"

Jiyanzai seized the opportunity to step forward, taking the initiative to show off:

"Old thing, with just you, you still want to act tough? I'm afraid a single punch of mine will knock you into..."

Thwack!

Before he finished speaking, only a faint sound of rushing wind rang out.

Lin Fusheng suddenly made a move, thrusting his finger out rapidly to land precisely on a spot right below his throat.

"Ugh, ugh..."

Jiyanzai instantly felt a piercing pain, then his face filled with panic as he covered his throat with both hands and retreated several steps.

His mouth worked hard to open and close, but he could only produce dry coughs, unable to speak a single word.

It was as if... he had turned into a mute.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the other three Red Tiger Gang members changed slightly.

They also realized that this old man was not simple, and was likely someone who practiced martial arts.

The two burly men dragging Wen Huiyi looked at each other.

Looking at each other intently!

Then they let go of her hands, raised their fists, and pounced toward Lin Fusheng from left and right.

Seeming to want to team up and solve the trouble in front of them first.

Facing the simultaneous combined attack of the two, Lin Fusheng's expression remained calm and unhurried.

He struck a traditional martial arts stance, his figure suddenly flashing as he stomped to parry and block the punch, taking advantage of the momentum to break into their inner circle.

"Liangmen, Qi Sea!"

Following the low incantation of the two Acupoints' positions, his hands were like twin dragons probing the sea, swiftly stabbing into both men's abdomens.

The two burly men trembled all over as if struck by lightning simultaneously, their offensive momentum instantly halting.

As for their fists, clearly having already landed on the opponent, they seemed not to have caused any damage at all.

One of them even wore a painful expression, arching his back like a shrimp and retching incessantly.

This Acupoint Striking technique—

first striking the Liangmen Acupoint to jar the spleen and injure the gallbladder, then striking the Qi Sea Acupoint to shock the abdominal wall and cut off their Qi and blood.

could instantly make a person nauseous and vomit, losing all ability to resist.

After succeeding with one move, Lin Fusheng did not stop there.

Swiftly twisting his waist and turning around, he circled behind the two of them.

At the same time, he reached out and forcefully pinched the Acupoints on their shoulders and the backs of their necks a few times.

The two burly men only felt their arms go numb, completely losing all strength.

Then a sharp pain came from the back of their necks, followed by darkness before their eyes, and they both collapsed and fell unconscious together.

Swish!

At this moment, another Red Tiger Gang thug also pulled out a dagger, attempting a sneak attack.

A tear was slashed into Lin Fusheng's clothes.

With quick eyes and fast hands, he turned around and grabbed the opponent's wrist, then used a reverse-joint grappling move by twisting the arm and pulling the shoulder to pin him onto the table.

Right after that, with a "crack" and accompanied by a miserable scream, he cleanly dislocated the man's shoulder.

"You?!"

Jiyanzai was so frightened that his legs turned weak, staring blankly at the scene before him.

He never expected the old man to be so fierce, easily knocking down three people in just a few seconds.

Coming to his senses abruptly, he panicked and ran out the door.

After a short while.

Brother Yong ran in with several subordinates, his gaze sweeping over the three people lying on the ground in surprise.

He took a deep breath and had his men carry the knocked-out brothers out first.

Then he looked toward Lin Fusheng, who faintly exuded an Aura of stern majesty without being angry:

"Old master, you're formidable. But having provoked our Red Tiger Gang, this matter won't end easily."

He merely dropped a harsh threat before wisely choosing to retreat with his men.

Watching the troublemakers leave, Lin Fusheng looked down at the tear on his sleeve, shook his head, and sighed:

"Sigh, one has to admit when they're getting old."

Saying this, he put his reading glasses back on and picked up his teacup.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to transform from a hidden expert back into an ordinary, commonplace civilian old man.

Wen Huiyi was stunned for a moment, somewhat at a loss.

Suddenly remembering something, she instantly scrambled to her feet and ran desperately toward home.

...

In the hallway, the iron gate pulled open, revealing a bright stream of light.

"Sister Zhou, Grandma Zhou, goodbye."

Wen Xin waved into the room, then held a small paper box and walked downstairs.

This was her new creation learning to make cakes together with Sister Zhou, prepared to give to her mother to taste as well.

Wen Xin hummed a cheerful tune lightly in her mouth, quickly arriving at the basement.

Looking up, she saw the lights in her home were on, and joy instantly appeared in her eyes.

"Mom, you're back?"

She pushed the door open immediately, but in a fraction of a second, she froze in place.

She saw that her mother was not inside at all.

Instead, there were two strange men searching everywhere for things in her home. Hearing the sound, they turned their heads to look over.

"What kind of people are you?"

Wen Xin asked in startled suspicion, her feet slowly retreating backward.

Then she turned around swiftly, spun on her heel, and sprinted out the door.

But—

very quickly, her neck was grabbed by one hand, while another hand covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

Wen Xin still wanted to struggle, but after a few seconds, her consciousness blurred and she lost consciousness.

The cake in her hand also dropped to the ground.

The two ordinary-looking men looked at the unconscious girl, their eyes revealing a ruthless intent.

Their method of subduing Wen Xin was extremely practiced, as if they often did this kind of thing.

Suddenly, a phone ringtone rang out.

One of them pulled out his cell phone, answered the call, and said to his accomplice:

"Over there failed, but getting it done on our side is the same. Let's go quickly!"

The two men then picked up the girl in their arms and strode outward.

Outside the Tubular Building, a van happened to drive over as well. They quickly got into the car and soon vanished into the night.

The second update will be slightly late. Next is the climax plot where the protagonist slaughters his way through the gang.
