"The traffic police will definitely catch us if we turn back."

.........

Returning to Changlin Community, Zhou Kai and his team were gathering inside the factory. Lin Chuan drove his jeep into the factory. Though driving it felt unusual at first, he naturally got used to it over time. All systems of the vehicle were more or less functional.

"What are you guys up to?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Chuanzi, damn it, the site boss has run away." Zhou Kai said angrily: "Damn, our hundreds of thousands in fees can't be settled now."

"What? This happened?" Lin Chuan was startled and said: "It's the end of the year already; are the contractors starting to abscond?"

"Exactly." Zhou Kai was very annoyed and said: "I plan to round up the guys and cause a commotion at the site. Damn it, they actually won't pay us. I won't give up this easily."

Lin Chuan also had a fire brewing in his belly, and finally found a target to vent his frustration. He sneered: "They think they can bully us? Let's go, I refuse to believe that someone dares to owe us money."

Lin Chuan climbed back into the jeep, and Zhou Kai hurriedly cranked down the soft top roof while complaining: "This is so damn inconvenient, next time I must fit an electric one."

Then, everyone clambered into the jeep. The seven-seater vehicle was crammed with thirteen people. Luckily, since it was a diesel car with considerable torque, it could move. If it had been a petrol car, it might not have even started. Puffing out a plume of thick black exhaust, the jeep slowly drove out. After going downhill for a bit, the speed of the jeep picked up considerably.

Thirteen people, each with a solemn expression, were encountering wage theft for the first time in their business endeavor, which was downright detestable.

The jeep headed straight for Jiangdong District. Jiangdong District is a newly developed technical park, hence, the economic vitality was vigorous. Many factories started operations in Jiangdong District, and quite a few developers spotted business opportunities, snapped up land, and built houses, hawking them under the banner of rapid development.

After crossing the East River Bridge, the jeep soon arrived at the construction site.

The construction site was bustling with activity; mixer trucks, cement trucks... all kinds of machinery were busy at work laying foundations. As soon as the vehicle arrived at the factory entrance, several fierce-looking security guards immediately stopped them.

"What are you doing, no entry." The guards glared at the group, and they obviously recognized Lu Dapao and knew they were there to demand payment.

"We are here to find Boss Zhou." Zhou Kai quickly offered a cigarette to the guard.

"Boss Zhou you're looking for isn't here, go away." The guard flatly refused the cigarette.

Lu Dapao got angry: "Fuck, Zhou Kai owes us hundreds of thousands, we're here to collect debts."

"Get lost." The guard gave him a glare and said: "Who knows your Zhou Kai? He's not here."

Just then, Huang Bo pointed at a man inside the construction site wearing a suit with a yellow safety helmet and shouted: "There there there there... over there there there!"

The more urgent, the more tense.

Upon seeing this, Lu Dapao leaped from the vehicle and chased after him. The security guards immediately stopped Lu Dapao, bellowing: "Fuck off, do you think this is a place for you to wreak havoc? Just look around and see where you are!"

Seeing this, Boss Zhou inside immediately realized that things were amiss and started running away.

Zhou Kai, spotting the fleeing Boss Zhou, shouted to Lin Chuan: "Chuanzi, that's the guy who owes us for the project." Saying this, he signaled the group to charge in.

Lin Chuan grabbed Zhou Kai and shouted to the others: "What are you trying to do? We're here to get money, not to fight; everyone just stay put."

The crowd stopped at his words.

At that moment, out from the midst of the construction site, emerged a muscular man in black casual clothing. Tall and burly, his face was grim and his eyes emitted a murderous air.

Seeing the man's imposing manner, Lu Dapao, unable to restrain his fiery temper, lunged forward, ready for a fight.

Lin Chuan swiftly dodged and grabbed Lu Dapao, yanking him back forcefully. Lu Dapao lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Can't you all keep it together? This guy is no ordinary person, and you're no match for him," said Lin Chuan.

"Ah?" The others were taken aback for a moment, turning their heads to see the man giving off a murderous vibe. They looked somewhat timid. After all, they were kids with little worldly experience.

The security guards were smug, enjoying the scene. The burly man was the supervisor on the construction site; if anyone dared to slack off or rebel, he was the first to not let them off.

Lin Chuan extinguished his cigarette, took off his jacket, and placed it aside. His eyes narrowed as he stepped slowly toward his opponent.

"Kid, are you looking for death?" The burly man grinned.

"I'm not looking to die. We don't want trouble; we're just here to ask Boss Zhou for our project money," Lin Chuan said with a sly smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"Fuck, asking for death!" Upon hearing this, the robust man immediately felt his dignity was being challenged and charged forward at a rapid pace. His arm, as thick as Lin Chuan's thigh, swung with force.

If a person does not offend me, I do not offend them; but if someone offends me, I will retaliate.

Since the other party made the first move, Lin Chuan no longer showed any courtesy.

Whoosh...

The burly arm whistled weakly through the air. The sound was faint, but the arm brushed past Lin Chuan's ear, and he heard it clearly.

Crack!

Suddenly, Lin Chuan grabbed the man's arm, and a crisp sound echoed from where he gripped. In that instant, Lin Chuan felt a slight pang of pain in his palm.

Theoretically, the hand should bear more force. For instance, if you use a hand to slap a face, the face feels a sharper pain than the hand.

But Lin Chuan felt such a pain, so the opponent's arm was surely not feeling good either.

A sinister smile suddenly crept onto Lin Chuan's face. His palm was attached to the antagonist's arm, and suddenly, his thumb and forefinger immediately pinched a piece of soft flesh on the other's arm and twisted it viciously.

"Ah!" The brawny man instantly screamed in pain, his complexion changing drastically. He lifted his leg and kicked viciously towards Lin Chuan.

Whoosh...

Lin Chuan swiftly jumped backward.

The brawny man covered his arm, the skin which had turned from blue to purple, and from purple to black...

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!" The brawny man clutched his arm, feeling a sharp, bone-piercing pain.

"Hehe..." A nonchalant smile appeared on Lin Chuan's mouth. He actually took his time to light a cigarette and then said with a laugh, "Kid, you're still too green to fight with me."

"Fuck!" The brawny man swung his fist and smashed it down hard on Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan, cigarette in mouth, dodged left and right. The brawny man relentlessly pursued him.

"Chuanzi won't have any trouble, right?" Lu Dapao asked worriedly.

"Should we... go up and help?" Huang Bo eagerly suggested.

"No!" Zhou Kai shook his head and said, "You still don't know the strength of Brother Chuan? How did he beat Long Wu back then? So, Chuanzi will definitely be fine, don't worry."

Although that was said, the group was still very anxious about Lin Chuan, fearful that something untoward might happen to him. After all, the brawny man was too big and muscular, extremely fearsome. His arms were as thick as an adult's legs. Standing over one meter ninety tall, he was a head taller than Lin Chuan.

Bang...

Suddenly, Lin Chuan no longer retreated; on the contrary, he kicked out. His foot struck the other's chest with the speed of lightning too fast for ears to hear.

That kick merely landed a blow and didn't harm the man's bones or muscles at all; the man just took two steps backward.

"Hehe, you can't hurt me," the brawny man bared his yellow teeth and said, "Not only can you not hurt me, but no one else can either."

"Fuck, this guy's got skin as tough as copper and bones as strong as iron?" Zhou Kai exclaimed in shock.

"Shall we step in?" Lu Dapao, holding a splitting axe, was already itching for action.

"Don't... Don't rush, Brother Chuan told us not to get involved," Huang Bo stopped the two of them.

The onlookers were extremely tense, their emotions fluctuating like fifteen buckets fetching water—up and down.

Lin Chuan patted his arm, then took another drag of his cigarette and said, "You've got a tough physique, but that doesn't mean you are invincible. Kid, what martial arts have you practiced?"

"Shaolin Iron Cloth." The brawny man snorted coldly.

"Oh, you're from Shaolin?" Hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately laughed and said, "How are those baldies at Shaolin doing?"

"Go to hell." The brawny man grew furious upon hearing this.

He quickly lunged towards Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan took another deep drag of his cigarette, which was down to its last puff. Holding a cigarette butt with sparks, Lin Chuan puffed out smoke.

Click...

Suddenly, Lin Chuan flicked the cigarette butt. It drew a bizarre arc in mid-air and unerringly hit the brawny man's eyeball.

"Ouch..." The brawny man instantly covered his right eye, screaming in pain.

Whoosh...

Lin Chuan rushed forward in two or three steps. He leapt up, straddling the other's shoulders with both legs. Hooking his legs around the man's neck, Lin Chuan arched his body backward.

Thud...

Both of them fell down. With his legs hooked around the man's neck and one hand bracing himself, Lin Chuan sat up. The opponent, with his neck locked in Lin Chuan's grip, was unable to move.

"Do you give up?" Lin Chuan sneered.

"Mmm... Mmm..." The brawny man nodded hurriedly.

Only then did Lin Chuan release his legs and arm. The man's face was crimson red, and had they continued, he might have soon suffocated to death. The brawny man breathed in the fresh air deeply as if he had been reborn.

However, just as the brawny man had caught his breath, he was suddenly consumed by fiery anger. His dignity had been challenged, and his character had been trampled upon.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, the brawny man picked up a brick from the ground and viciously smacked it towards the back of Lin Chuan's head.

"Brother Chuan!" The others shouted in alarm. They were stunned.

In the blink of an eye, a dark figure flashed by.

Thud...

All of a sudden, blood spurted from the brawny man's chest. With an incredulous look in his eyes, he stared at Lin Chuan as though he had seen a terrifying, shocking, and frightening monster.
