Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Xu Hong
Wild Chicken Mountain is less than ten kilometers from Jiangnan University.
This area is underdeveloped, with a terrible environment and few people around, so hardly any vehicles pass by.
With the winding roads around the mountain and sharp curves, it has bred a group of lawless motorcycle gang members.
The motorcycle gang is the underground organization in this area, holding motorcycle races on Wild Chicken Mountain a few times a week.
They can also be described as a group of motorcycle enthusiasts, although they have somewhat extreme personalities.
At this moment, more than forty modified motorcycles are gathered on a flat area of about seven or eight hundred square meters at the top of Wild Chicken Mountain, with Xu Fei among them.
Xu Fei stands behind a man slightly taller than him, with a fierce look on his face, appearing around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, looking extremely similar to Xu Fei.
This man is named Xu Hong, Xu Fei’s elder brother.
Yesterday, his younger brother was inexplicably beaten twice at school by the same group of people. Of course, this "inexplicably" was Xu Fei’s explanation.
Xu Hong actually understood very well but was too lazy to ask further questions. After all, Xu Fei was his only family member, and he usually didn’t go overboard.
On the ground beside them lay two people, Peng Bo and Xiong Haitao, Lin Xi’s number two and number three. Their faces were bruised and swollen, their clothes torn, and although their injuries were superficial, they were no small thing.
They were quite tough, not making a sound or begging for mercy.
Even Xu Hong, who had been in the underworld for several years, couldn’t help but secretly admire this.
Moreover, these two were no simpletons. If it were a one-on-one fight, apart from Xu Hong, no one in the entire motorcycle gang could match them.
"Brother, what if the person called Lin Xi doesn’t come?" Xu Fei looked downhill, asking with some concern.
Xu Hong glanced at Xu Fei, snorting coldly, "These two are not like you. Someone they acknowledge as a leader, how could he not come?"
"Let me tell you again, focus on your studies at school. Don’t cause any more trouble. If it happens again, don’t come looking for me; handle it yourself!"
"Brother, this time it really wasn’t my fault!" Xu Fei said a bit aggrievedly, as he was just hitting on a girl as usual.
"You know in your heart whether it was your fault or not, don’t explain to me." Xu Hong was also a bit resentful towards his brother, thinking he worked hard to get him into Jiangnan University, yet all he thought about daily was chasing girls and fighting. Does he intend to take the same path after graduation?
Of course, he wouldn’t allow that.
At this moment, a junior member of the motorcycle gang ran over to Xu Hong, saying, "Boss, one of our bikes is coming up from the mountain."
"Just one?" Xu Fei asked.
"Just one." The junior member said with some confusion, continuing, "It could be Xiaoshan and his partner, but why only one returning?"
"Get on the bikes." Xu Hong walked to the edge of the cliff for a glance, then called out to his subordinates behind him.
It was one bike, but there were two people on it, who didn’t seem like his subordinates.
So there was no need to say, these two were most likely the ones they were waiting for.
"Vroom Vroom Vroom..."
In an instant, the entire Wild Chicken Mountain echoed with a heavy rumble, an extremely intimidating sound.
Lin Xi happened to speed up the mountain, screeching to a halt across from the pack of motorcycle gang members, kicking up a cloud of dust that covered the faces of the first few gang members.
"You wait here." Lin Xi got off the bike, walking toward the gang members.
Glasses didn’t insist on tagging along, knowing that if he followed, it would just be causing trouble for the boss. It was better for him to stay on this side, keeping an eye on the situation and calling the police if anything went wrong.
"Vroom Vroom Vroom..."
As Lin Xi walked over, the gang members blocking the path stepped aside, leaving a clear path for him to pass.
Once Lin Xi passed through, the path was closed up again.
This formed a trap, yet Lin Xi didn’t even bat an eye, seemingly unfazed.
When he reached the center, he spotted Peng Bo and Xiong Haitao lying on the ground, surrounded by several motorcycle gang members, their injuries looking worse than Glasses’.
"Boss." Peng Bo and Xiong Haitao, upon seeing Lin Xi approaching, were moved, suppressing their groans of pain, their expressions showing both worry and surprise. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
But neither of them spoke words of thanks or asked why he came, as if everything went unsaid.
At that moment, they sincerely accepted Lin Xi as their leader.
If beforehand their obedience was just out of respect for strength, internally they never truly recognized Lin Xi as the boss.
"Yeah."
Lin Xi didn’t say much, giving them a reassuring look.
He didn’t immediately charge forward, instead scanning his eyes over the surrounding gang members, coldly saying, "Who’s the leader here? Have him come out and talk."
Xu Hong and Xu Fei walked in, stopping about seven or eight meters from Lin Xi, with Xu Fei shouting first, "You finally showed up. I thought you didn’t have the guts." freёweɓnovel.com
"Shut up, I didn’t call you." Lin Xi snorted coldly, looking at Xu Fei with disdain.
"Looking for death!" Xu Fei’s face turned dark, feeling utterly humiliated in public.
The group of gang members, especially those who had just been showered in dirt, also looked displeased. If he disrespected Xu Fei, it was as if he disrespected the whole gang.
"Don’t speak." At that, Xu Hong also frowned, admonishing Xu Fei.
This made Xu Fei’s face look incredibly unpleasant, but he didn’t dare retort, knowing Xu Hong’s personality extremely well as he was raised by him from a young age.
If he pissed him off, getting beaten publicly wasn’t something that hadn’t happened more than once.
"Tell me, what’s it going to take to release them?" Lin Xi then said to Xu Hong.
Xu Hong was secretly surprised. Not to mention the courage to come here alone, but even facing so many people, he acted as if nothing was happening, showing no trace of fear.
He had seen such people a few times over the years, and they tended to be genuinely capable.
"But even if you have ability, are you going to take on more than forty people on your own?" Xu Hong thought internally, then said to Lin Xi,
"Kneel before my brother to apologize and pay a hundred thousand in compensation, and they can leave with you."
"Ha, kneel?" Lin Xi sneered, thinking how ignorance was bliss, and couldn’t help but think that no one in his life had ever asked him to kneel.
Of course, excluding the old man, but the old man wouldn’t bother with such trivial things either.
"I have a suggestion. Whoever laid hands on my brothers here will cripple their hands and feet; you’ll pay a million in compensation, and Xu Fei will kneel and kowtow a hundred times to apologize. Then I’ll treat it as if this never happened," Lin Xi said.
Xu Hong was first taken aback, then furious. "I’d like to see how capable you are to be able to say such things."
Subsequently, Lin Xi found himself surrounded by the entire motorcycle gang on their bikes, closely encircled.
