"You..." Cheng Dalong clutched his obviously swollen face, glaring at the languid Zhou Yang before him. He suppressed his anger, not daring to truly confront him.

"What are you looking at? This slap is a reminder to be more discreet in the future. Get lost! The sight of you is irritating... Don't let me see you on this street again!" Zhou Yang waved his hand at Cheng Dalong impatiently. This was, after all, China; it wasn't like foreign lands where one could act as they pleased. Given Zhou Yang's temperament, if Cheng Dalong dared to pull a knife on Xie Nan, Zhou Yang wouldn't have let him off without taking an arm!

"Alright... I'll remember this!" Cheng Dalong finally swallowed his anger. He shot Zhou Yang a resentful glance, then turned to Lu Pengju and Xie Nan beside him and said solemnly, "Xie Nan, I'll settle today's score with you eventually! You just wait!"

With that, Cheng Dalong, deeply dissatisfied, kicked a few of his underlings who were still moaning on the ground. "Can any of you move?" he asked in a deep voice. "If you can, get up quickly!"

"AH..." The injured thugs, already suffering from broken bones, screamed even more tragically as Cheng Dalong kicked them. However, they didn't dare fight back, much less stay. They struggled to their feet, supported each other, and prepared to leave...

"Hold on. No one leaves. I still have questions for you!" At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly spoke up, stopping Cheng Dalong and his men.

Cheng Dalong froze, turning to face Lin Feng with a hostile expression. He currently didn't know Lin Feng's identity or his relationship with Zhou Yang and Xie Nan. But Zhou Yang's earlier display of power had been too shocking, so he could only endure it and hear what Lin Feng had to say.

"Why did you stop those two earlier?" Lin Feng pointed at Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, a cold smirk on his face as he looked at Cheng Dalong and said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me you were just hitting on them. I won't believe that!"

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Cheng Dalong's expression flickered. However, he quickly regained his composure, stared at Lin Feng, and said in a low voice, "We brothers just saw two beauties and were smitten. We only wanted their contact information. Believe it or not, that's the truth. I'm in a bad mood today; can't I even chat with some beauties?!"

"Hmph..." Lin Feng snorted coldly. "It seems I've been too polite. You don't want to tell the truth?"

"I'm fucking telling the truth! Who the hell are you? Are you going to stop me from picking up chicks?" Cheng Dalong's eyes darted towards Lin Feng, clearly a bit nervous, but he brazenly stuck to his story.

"Honestly, I couldn't care less about you picking up women..." Lin Feng nodded. "But if you refuse to tell me the truth, then I can't let you leave..."

"Not let me leave? Are you kidding? You think you can keep me here?" Cheng Dalong looked even more uncertain, yet he continued to sneer defiantly.

"Keep you? You're overthinking it..." Lin Feng shook his head, pointed at Cheng Dalong, then turned his head and said, "Dapeng, keep this man here. If he doesn't cooperate, give him a beating first. Just don't kill him."

"Yes, Master!" Hearing Lin Feng's command, Lu Pengju obediently nodded. Cheng Dalong had beaten Xie Nan, and Lu Pengju had no intention of letting him off easily. Lin Feng wanting to detain him was exactly what he wanted.

"Stop! What are you doing? I've already admitted defeat! Don't go too far! We all make a living on this street..." A strong sense of fear finally appeared in Cheng Dalong's eyes. The memory of Lu Pengju's kick to his chest was still vivid, and he desperately wanted to avoid confronting Lu Pengju... especially with Zhou Yang present...

"So what if I pressure you?" Lu Pengju sneered at the panicked Cheng Dalong. "My fists aren't light, you'd better be careful... If you've got the guts, you can use a knife too!"

Although Lu Pengju was arrogant, he wasn't a fool; in fact, he was quite astute. Just moments ago, Xie Nan had nearly been taken out by Cheng Dalong's group, and it wasn't solely because he was drunk. Lu Pengju knew Cheng Dalong was ruthless and his methods weren't crude either—something evident from Cheng Dalong's readiness to use a knife.

Hearing Lu Pengju's words, Cheng Dalong's face paled further. He had indeed intended to pull out another knife he carried, severely injure Lu Pengju when he least expected it, and then escape. But now, hearing Lu Pengju's threat, he knew that chance was gone...

Cheng Dalong stared intensely at Zhou Yang and Lu Pengju, his mind racing. Who exactly are these two? I've never heard of such experts on this street before... He knew that with his own skills, he might not be Xie Nan's match in a bare-handed fight, but he used knives and wasn't particularly afraid of Xie Nan. However, now facing Lu Pengju, a former soldier, and the terrifying Zhou Yang, Cheng Dalong felt extremely nervous...

It was just as Lin Feng had guessed: Cheng Dalong's purpose in coming out this time wasn't simply to pick up girls...

In fact, Cheng Dalong had been secretly watching Su Zi and Ning Aoxue for a long time. He didn't know why the boss of the Fugui Club wanted him to use any means necessary—be it deception, coercion, or force—to bring these two women back to the club. But he did know that successfully doing so meant getting 500,000!

Half a million! That's a huge sum of money...

Cheng Dalong had tailed Ning Aoxue and Su Zi for several days, finally finding an opportunity when the two women were driving alone. Coincidentally, they had come to the very street where the Fugui Club was located. Cheng Dalong saw this as a godsent opportunity and couldn't resist bringing his men to intercept them and try to take them away...

But who could have predicted it would lead to such huge trouble! I'm truly scared now. Not just of Lin Feng's ruthless methods, but even more that the Fugui Club boss will have me killed to shut me up!

Watching Lu Pengju slowly approach, his eyes fierce and a cruel grin on his face, Cheng Dalong's complexion turned ashen. At that critical moment, he spotted Xue Qingyi, only a few steps away. An idea suddenly struck him... No matter what, I can't fall into their hands!

This was Cheng Dalong's desperate thought. Then, to everyone's astonishment, he abruptly spun around and lunged towards Xue Qingyi, who was standing beside Lin Feng, a knife suddenly in his hand...

Lu Pengju, who was preparing to move on Cheng Dalong, was momentarily stunned. He had assumed Cheng Dalong was about to launch a desperate counterattack and had already prepared to defend and strike. But in the next moment, he realized he'd misunderstood. Cheng Dalong's movements were indeed incredibly fast, like a flash of lightning, vanishing from his original spot in an instant... But his target was actually Xue Qingyi!

Seeing Cheng Dalong's action, Lin Feng's heart jumped. He understood Cheng Dalong intended to take a hostage. Panicking, he knew it was a bit too late to intervene directly. But when he realized Cheng Dalong's target was Xue Qingyi, Lin Feng was dumbfounded...

It wasn't fear, but a sense of absurdity... This guy was actually trying to take Ling Long, one of the core members of the White Wolf Squad, hostage?

"Nobody move! If anyone dares to come closer, I'll kill her! Stay where you are!" Cheng Dalong, his eyes bloodshot, roared at the crowd, the blade of his knife pressed horizontally against Xue Qingyi's slender, pale neck.
