Free Web NovelChapter 2117: Chapter 2322: The Stratagem of Luring the Tiger Away from Its Mountain
On one side, there’s a bloody storm, while on the other side, it’s unusually quiet. Apart from the dim streetlights, there are only hurried pedestrians and speeding cars.
At this moment, Hao Jian is lying in the car, eyes closed, appearing to be resting with his eyes shut. Baldy, on the other hand, looks at the information in his hand, his spiritual power highly concentrated. He suddenly turns to Hao Jian and says, "Wumao and Afei have already started fighting over there, but they are outnumbered. Brother Hao, do you think we should implement the second plan?"
Hao Jian remains with his eyes closed, silently contemplating in his mind, then says, "Let Qiu Lang go over there, and also have Black San start taking action."
Black San nods in agreement, then begins to act according to Hao Jian’s instructions.
......
At the Soho Bar, the group of people are still lying on the ground, unable to get up, while Black San remains here with a group of people, ready to strike anyone who dares to move or resist until they no longer dare to move. A little lackey hands a phone to Black San, who smiles briefly, then hangs up the call.
At this moment, Black San gives a signal to his trusted lieutenant, who immediately grabs someone from the ground. Black San squats down, speaking in a sinister tone to this person, "Call your boss and say someone is wrecking the Soho Bar and the 8090 Game Hall, they’re great in numbers, and ask him to send reinforcements immediately."
As Black San speaks, he throws a phone to the lackey. The lackey listens, fear washing over his face, hesitating for a moment.
He’s not a fool and naturally knows what Black San is trying to do with these words. Now that this place has already been taken down, he is asked to tell his boss that people are causing trouble here and ask him to send reinforcements. Isn’t this a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain? If reinforcements are sent, another place will likely be smashed.
Thus, hearing Black San’s words, fear is evident on his face, hesitating to reach out and take the phone to call Long Yi. If he makes this call, Long Yi will not let him off easily in the future; he might not let him off at all. However, as he hesitates, Black San slaps him across the face, causing blood to drip from the corner of his mouth, making him feel another kind of fear.
Calling Long Yi might result in punishment, but if he doesn’t make the call now, he’ll be beaten beyond recognition. So, after receiving the slap, he immediately becomes obedient, takes the phone from Black San, and makes the call.
At this moment, inside the Rufeng Hotel, Long Yi is sitting in his meeting room, looking at the recent income totals. On the table is a bottle of beer, his habit of having a drink while working. Looking at the account books, he picks up the glass and takes a sip.
However, at this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rings. He hesitates for a moment, initially not wanting to answer because the caller is unfamiliar, and he doesn’t like being interrupted while working, hence he arranged for a separate office. Yet, after glancing at the phone, for some reason, he picks it up.
"Brother Long!" The moment the call connects, someone calls his name. He knows it’s his subordinate, but hearing the tone, something seems off, and his face immediately frowns.
"Hmm? What’s happened?" he quickly asks.
The lackey’s tone chokes, saying, "Someone’s wrecking the place, they’re prepared, outnumbering us; we’re barely holding on. Quickly send reinforcements."
Upon hearing this, Long Yi’s frown deepens. Who doesn’t know Long Yi’s name in Yun City, who doesn’t know the Axe Gang’s strength, yet someone dares to target him, challenge the places he protects? Isn’t this too arrogant? Instantly, he picks up the glass and smashes it on the ground, furious.
"Which place?" he asks.
The lackey responds, "Soho Bar!"
"Soho Bar?" He frowns, "Hold on a bit longer, the brothers will arrive immediately."
Instantly, he hangs up the phone. Damn it, no wonder his left eyelid has been twitching, turns out someone really is looking for trouble, daring to cause problems in his territory, simply doesn’t want to live. Hanging up, he picks up the nearby phone and calls a number.
The call quickly connects, "Brother Long, any orders?"
"Gather the people, head to Soho Bar immediately, damn it, someone dares to wreck a place under my protection. Bring more brothers, let them know what it means to cross the Axe Gang!" Long Yi says forcefully.
The lackey hears this and immediately nods in agreement, while Long Yi hangs up the call. Next, the lackey rushes out to gather the troops.
"Brothers, grab your gear and follow me. Someone dared to mess with Soho Bar, we’re gonna kill them!" With that, he waved his hand, and the group of people who were originally seated immediately stood up, grabbed their gear, and rushed out.
Not long after, several vans drove out of the underground parking of Rufeng Bar, each fully loaded with people. They counted the cars and estimated roughly that the ten-plus vehicles carried about a hundred people. Big Rotten Fortune’s subordinates had already sorted the numbers and reported to him, then Big Rotten Fortune relayed the message to Baldy, who in turn told Hao Jian.
After hearing this, Hao Jian had a relaxed expression. Originally, he thought Long Yi, as the boss, would be more composed and would send only fifty or sixty people, but unexpectedly he sent over a hundred. To regain face, he dispatched almost two-thirds of his forces.
A smile appeared on his face. He initially thought there would be a fierce battle at Big Rotten Fortune’s place, but didn’t expect things to go this way. Over a hundred people set out; by the time they reached Soho Bar, they’d face a surprise—no one was there.
By the time they realized it, it was too late. Big Rotten Fortune had already moved inside with his men.
A smile appeared on Hao Jian’s face, and Baldy caught this moment. Suddenly, he felt a bit intimidated to face Hao Jian directly. Even though Hao Jian was just a young man, Baldy couldn’t understand where Hao Jian’s thoughts came from. Despite being much older, he couldn’t see through Hao Jian, while it felt like Hao Jian could see through him easily.
Hao Jian merely sat in the car but controlled everything in his mind; everyone was under his command. Baldy found this terrifying, this meticulous thinking was truly scary. It would have been understandable if an experienced elder planned this, but the fact that a young guy like Hao Jian orchestrated everything was intimidating.
He began to respect Hao Jian more, finding him unfathomable, never knowing what he was thinking or planning next. His admiration for Hao Jian grew.
........
At this moment, on a certain street, members of the Axe Gang had all come out and were clashing fiercely with Wumao and Afei’s group. The fighting was so intense it shook the whole street, drawing people’s attention while simultaneously keeping them at a distance, afraid of getting involved.
Meanwhile, a commotion erupted on the other side of the street as a large group came charging over with formidable momentum.
"Do it!" Qiu Lang roared.
Upon hearing this, Wumao and Afei exchanged a knowing smile. Initially on the losing side, their group got energized upon hearing this, each person showing renewed vigor. Quickly, they fought back more fiercely.
Qiu Lang soon joined the battle with his men, causing both sides to clash again. Wumao and Afei, who were starting to look weary, felt invigorated, soon overpowering the Axe Gang’s members.
Meanwhile, at the other end, Big Rotten Fortune was losing patience when suddenly a phone call came through, bringing excitement to his face.
"Brothers! Let’s do this!" said Big Rotten Fortune.
Immediately, a group of his men sprang into action, eager after waiting so long. Their faces beamed with excitement upon hearing they could proceed.
A group of people began to move immediately.
........
Xingsha Bar was bustling at this moment, with people venting their frustrations and desires in tune with the rhythm of the music. The alcohol had everyone in high spirits.
In one area, Long Er sat at a booth drinking, surrounded by a few of his close aides.
Long Er drank deeply, his expression a bit sullen.
"Second brother! Third brother is in the hospital after being beaten up. I can’t quench this anger. I want to go out there with our guys and beat those guys until their parents can’t recognize them," a young guy said indignantly.
Long Er downed a glass of spirits and slammed it on the table, saying, "I don’t fucking want this either, but big brother said not to take action."
