Nuo Xiaoxi felt a trace of fear when she saw the four men with complicated expressions. She hurriedly clutched Lin Chuan's arm tightly.

"Brother Lin, they..." Nuo Xiaoxi was visibly panicked.

"Don't be scared." Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Just a bunch of riffraff, ignore them."

As he spoke, Lin Chuan walked past those few men with Nuo Xiaoxi in his arms. Their eyes were fixated on Lin Chuan and Nuo Xiaoxi, revealing malevolent smiles. Lin Chuan had an ominous premonition, but until the other party made a move, he wouldn't act rashly. With Nuo Xiaoxi present, he didn't want to frighten her, after all, she was still just a child. She was already scared enough seeing these thugs, let alone if a fight broke out, she might even faint from fear.

Lin Chuan walked in slowly with his arm around Nuo Xiaoxi.

At this moment, the men at the door followed at a leisurely pace, one of them already clutching a sack in his hand.

Lin Chuan had sharp ears; the soft sound of their footsteps crunching on fallen leaves was crystal clear to him. Suddenly, Lin Chuan stopped. The men behind also immediately halted, seemingly in no rush to act as the entrance of Changlin Factory was still well-lit and not a suitable place for an ambush.

"Xiao Xi, you go back first." Lin Chuan looked at Nuo Xiaoxi and chuckled: "I need to step aside for a moment."

"Ah?" Nuo Xiaoxi was startled but quickly grasped Lin Chuan's intention. She nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother Lin, I'll wait for you at home. You must come back, come back safe."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back safe." Lin Chuan smiled.

Nuo Xiaoxi sneakily glanced back, then hurried forward in a run.

Lin Chuan watched Nuo Xiaoxi's retreating figure with a cigarette between his lips.

At this point, the several men behind had slowly followed, the burly leader even opening the sack in his hand. He signaled with his eyes to several of the men around. The leader rapidly rushed towards Lin Chuan with the sack.

"Go!" the burly leader shouted.

Immediately afterward, four or five people charged at once.

Bang...

Lin Chuan tapped his left foot on the ground, pivoted on it, and with a reverse sweep of his right leg, the burly man holding the sack was sent flying.

"Ouch..." The burly man cried out in pain.

The others, seeing this, hesitated for a moment before swarming toward Lin Chuan.

The corner of Lin Chuan's mouth lifted slightly in disdain. These wastes, although they had some strength in their punches, were all brute force with no technique whatsoever. If one were to talk about strength, the combined might of these men was certainly much greater than his own; however, these fools relied solely on brute force and did not understand technique. In a fight, often a single detail, a single technique, could lead to a massive victory.

As three or four people attacked simultaneously, Lin Chuan was like a fish in water, adroitly escaping through the gaps in the encirclement.

Bang bang...

Lin Chuan swiftly switched from defense to offense. His two iron fists viciously hit the backs of two men, who staggered and tumbled forward, face-planting on the ground like eating dirt. At last, only one man in a padded jacket remained. This guy with his cockeyelike eyes glared at Lin Chuan and bellowed, "Kid, come at me with your life."

With that, he charged forward.

Lin Chuan, with a nonchalant look and a cigarette in his mouth, watched him approach. Lin Chuan stood still, and the man's punch brushed past him, missing its target and throwing him off balance, making him crash heavily to the ground.

"Ouch, damn it." A voice, through clenched teeth, came from the darkness.

Lin Chuan had keen ears. He calmly walked towards the burly leader, who was getting up unsteadily, glaring at Lin Chuan and said, "Kid, I'll beat you to death."

"Just you?" Lin Chuan gave him a disdainful look and said, "Even ten of you wouldn't match me."

"Go to hell," the burly man steadied himself in a horse stance and threw several heavy punches.

Lin Chuan was even more disdainful; he didn't care about these types of fighters stuck in a horse stance. Lin Chuan walked over calmly, and as the man saw him approach, he swung his fist at him. Lin Chuan calmly caught the man's punch. The man clenched his teeth, exerting all his might.

"Ah!!" The man bellowed, but it was to no avail against Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan, without any hurry, said with a smile, "Your strength is too weak, you need to put more effort into it."

"Bastard." The man cursed through clenched teeth.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a sharp pain shot through his arm; Lin Chuan's covert strength twisted his arm, dislocating the joint and straining the muscles. The man immediately fell to the ground in pain, screaming, "Stop... stop, it's killing me, it's killing me."

Lin Chuan looked at him coldly and demanded, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

"Bro... bro, I... I can't say," the burly man said through gritted teeth.

"Won't say it?" Lin Chuan chuckled, "Then I'll have to twist your arm off."

"Stop, please!" The burly man urgently shook his head.

At this moment, two voices rustled in the bushes, preparing to escape.

Lin Chuan dashed over swiftly, catching the two people in the bushes and fiercely threw them onto the nearby concrete road. The two figures were slammed hard, one of them face-first into the ground, shrieking in pain.

"It's you two, huh?" Lin Chuan said with a hooked smile, "Interesting, so you two got them to come after me?"

"No, no, it's got nothing to do with me." Song Wu hurriedly waved his hands.

Song Wen screamed in agony as he covered his mouth, blood flowing through the gaps between his fingers. When he opened his mouth, air whistled through it. Song Wen quickly opened his hands and cried out in panic, "My God, my teeth, my teeth again, they're ****** broken again."

Lin Chuan walked over with a smile, a cigarette between his lips, and said, "This time I broke one of your teeth, next time... I'm afraid it will be your arm."

"Don't, don't!" Song Wen scrambled backward in fright.

"Speak up, who's behind this?" Lin Chuan pressed his foot on the back of the lead strongman and asked sternly, "If you don't tell me today, I'll break an arm for each of you."

Rustle rustle...

At this moment, a dense rustling of footsteps approached.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Zhou Kai's rough voice came through, followed by shouts from Lu Dapao and others: "Damn, we gotta save Brother Chuan. Make it quick."

Listening to the footsteps, there seemed to be more than twenty people.

Zhou Kai was carrying two fire axes, Lu Dapao held a machete, Huang Bo, and Liu Cheng among others. Liu Cheng had never met Lin Chuan before, so he was very curious and decided to come and see for himself what the legendary Lin Chuan was like.

Behind the crowd, Nuo Xiaoxi was extremely tense. With Zhou Kai and the others backing her up, she was much bolder, but at that moment, her heart was extremely concerned about Lin Chuan's situation. With so many opponents and only one Lin Chuan, although she had made her fastest effort to send a warning, she could only hope that it wasn't too slow.

Zhou Kai and his group were very anxious, astonished that somebody dared to make a move on Lin Chuan on Changlin Factory's territory. When they heard about this, they immediately brought a bunch of people over in a hurry. It just so happened that Liu Cheng was back, so Zhou Kai gathered everyone together for a meetup, saving them time on the journey.

Seeing Zhou Kai and the others rushing over anxiously, Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Zhou Kai, what brings you here?"

"Chuan, are you alright?" Zhou Kai asked hurriedly.

"There," Lin Chuan pointed at the pleading people on the ground, "See for yourself if there's a problem."

"Heh heh..." Zhou Kai chuckled, wiping the sweat from his face, then said, "I knew it, Brother Chuan is invincible, how could these fools be your match? You had me scared."

Zhou Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Chuan was unharmed.

Liu Cheng came over and whispered, "Is... is this Lin Chuan?"

"You don't recognize him?" Zhou Kai asked.

"I do, but after so many years, I haven't seen him." Liu Cheng said with an embarrassed smile, then added, "And since when did Chuan become so proficient in fighting?"

"Of course!" Zhou Kai whispered back into his ear, "I heard that Chuan has been serving in the military these past few years."

"Really?" Liu Cheng looked at Zhou Kai in surprise.

Just then, the strongman that Lin Chuan had been stepping on took the opportunity to get up and, seizing a moment while he was talking, picked up a brick from the ground and charged over.

"Be careful!" Liu Cheng shouted in alarm.

The corner of Lin Chuan's mouth rose slightly. Watching, Liu Cheng saw a surge of power burst forth as Lin Chuan pressed his foot down, leaping into the air and delivering a reverse kick, his heel striking the chest of the strongman on the spot.

Pu-chi...

The strongman spewed out a mouthful of blood. Four of his ribs had snapped, and he lay heavily on the ground, foamy blood spitting from his mouth as his body twitched.

Sss...

Liu Cheng truly witnessed Lin Chuan's prowess; he swallowed hard, feeling uneasy at how formidable the other man was. Such reflexes against an unsuspecting enemy; it was astonishing and shocking.

"That's so impressive," Liu Cheng exclaimed in admiration.

"Heh heh." Zhou Kai grinned and said, "That's nothing, Chuan has more tricks up his sleeve."

"Like what?" Liu Cheng asked eagerly.

"Throwing knives," Zhou Kai hinted with a wink, "I heard that Chuan can hit a fly with a throwing knife from a hundred meters away, impressive, right?"

"You must be joking?" Liu Cheng was skeptical. To hit a fly a hundred meters away—seeing one at that distance was hard enough, let alone hitting it. It sounded unbelievable.

"Who's blowing hot air?" Zhou Kai became agitated, "Crap, do I look like someone who would bluff?"

"Doesn't seem like it; you look more like someone who'd blow up an elephant," Liu Cheng glanced sideways at Zhou Kai.

"Your grandfather!" Zhou Kai cursed in anger.

Seeing this scene, the Song brothers were dumbfounded. Song Wen hastily said, "Lin Chuan, Brother Lin Chuan, for the sake of our work relationship, please let us go."

"Speak, who's the person behind you?" Lin Chuan said with a cold laugh, he wasn't foolish; knowing the Song brothers didn't have the guts to come after him again, the man behind them was almost certainly the Northeast Tiger. But without confirmation, he didn't dare to rashly settle the account with the Northeast Tiger.
