Seeing that someone was being brought upstairs, Li Du made a phone call. "0432, bring the men up, all of them. However, there are senior officers at the stairs, so be careful."
0434 was directly opposite 0432 and there was no one inside. Li Du got the little bug to damage the door lock. He pushed the door open and walked through it to wait for the men inside.
If all of the big-sized men went up together, the guards on duty would easily notice them. Hence, Li Du got Zhong Da Pao to bring the men up in batches. In any case, they had time to spare.
The men who came in entered 0434 first. When everyone arrived, there was a total of forty men and they filled the room entirely.
Li Du ordered Zhong Da Pao to get someone to distract the soldiers at the stairs. Then he nodded to Brother Wolf. "Open the door!"
Brother Wolf gave a kick and the lock of the door gave way.
Li Du had given the command prior to that. Once they entered the room, they would need to create chaos, the more, the better.
Hence, when the door opened, the Markelov brothers led the way and the rest of the men followed. The rest of the men were like tigers who had been released from a cage. They rushed into the room.
The bodyguards at the door were shocked. They were just about to react when the Markelov brothers rushed in. They waved their fists and sent kicks, knocking down the two rows of bodyguards. Then they grabbed them like sandbags and threw them out.
Li Du joined the crowd and headed straight for the Dragon Stone. When he went in, he managed to silently slip that stone, which was the size of a basketball, into the black hole without anyone noticing.
He moved quickly. During that time, the rest of the men had only managed to get up. Xie Lao Hou stared blankly at the men who had rushed in. It was only a few seconds later that he shouted, "What are you guys trying to do? Zhong Da Pao, what are you doing?"
Da Mao spun the baseball cap on his head around and cheered, "Master Pao, Boss! I knew you guys would come!"
Master Dao and his people shuddered and trembled. They knew that Li Du and his people would eventually find out about the kidnapping of Da Mao. However, they did not expect to be found out so soon!
Though they had been quick and even came to the door directly, now that the bunch of them had been discovered, he was in big trouble!
Zhong Da Pao did not speak. With a hardened expression, he pulled Da Mao over and pushed him toward Liu Zi. Then, he walked towards Master Dao and gave him a slap.
Master Dao moved his neck backward to dodge the slap. Zhong Da Pao's tough hand reached forward to grab Master Dao's clothes and pulled him towards himself. Master Dao screamed hysterically, "Master Pao! Have mercy! Master Pao, have mercy!"
The muscles on Zhong Da Pao's tough arms rippled. He kept a tight grip on Master Dao and then threw out his palm, slapping him repeatedly.
He slapped his face with the back of his hand, and then with the front. Then another two times with the back of his hand, and three times with the front. Just like that, he kept on assaulting Master Dao!
Master Dao had screamed at the beginning, but soon his face started to swell and he looked like he was trying hard to breathe. He could no longer make any sound.
Xiao Liao, Lu Da You and the rest of the offenders were scared out of their wits. They looked towards Xie Lao Hou pleadingly, looking to help in vain.
Xie Lao Hou could not care less about them. However, Zhong Da Pao did not mind either way and continued to slap Master Dao's face. To Xie Lao Hou, it carried the same meaning as him being slapped himself. That caused him to flare up:
"D*mn, Dumb Pao, what's the meaning of this? What are you doing on my turf? Why did you barge in?!"
Zhong Da Pao stayed silent. He let go of Master Dao, whose mouth was now bleeding from the assault. Zhong Da Pao reached out and grabbed Xiao Liao, who was nearby.
Although Xiao Liao was big-sized, he was very timid. When Zhong Da Pao grabbed him, he immediately fell to his knees. "Master Pao, I was wrong. You, you, you… ahh, ahh!"
Zhong Da Pao did not care for his apologies. One slap after another, Zhong Da Pao kept hitting him. He continued in the same pattern, alternating between the front and the back of his hand. He did not care about anything and only focused on giving out punishment.
Lu Da You was smart. Seeing what had happened, he instantly rushed towards Xie Lao Hou, begging for help. "Master Hou, help! Master Hou, please help! This is your territory, we are helping you in your work!"
Liu Zi, who had been waiting by the side, went up to grab onto Lu Da You. He pinned Lu Da You onto the ground and smirked. "Master Pao, shall I work on this one?"
Zhong Da Pao did not speak and only nodded with a solemn face.
Liu Zi adjusted his belt and laughed. "Son, you're in luck that you've fallen into my hands. Master Liu has yet to fully recover from the gun wound, so I will be gentler with you."
He warmed up his arm by doing some rotations as if it was a windmill. Then, he reached out for a resounding slap.
"Ouch!" Lu Da You screamed in pain. He spat out some blood and two of his teeth flew out.
Xie Lao Hou's face turned pale. He patted the armrest of the couch. He stood up and screamed, "Bring it out!"
The two bodyguards who had been protecting him reached for pistols in unison. Li Du pulled out something black and threw it in the air in front of Xie Lao Hou. He laughed, "Sir, what are you doing?"
Xie Lao Hou saw what Li Du was handling. He looked at it and his face went pale. That black thing was a grenade!
Li Du juggled the grenade in both of his hands. He smiled. "Come on, sir, let the two men behind you drop their weapons. Otherwise, if I accidentally drop the grenade because of them, things would get messy."
The two bodyguards were confused. They had spent their entire life in Hpakant, dealing mostly with daggers and knives, and they had never been out of town. It was the first time they bumped into someone who brought a grenade with him.
Xie Lao Hou was someone who had lived through bloodbaths. When he was young, he had been with the guerrilla troops. He had also swung knives, fired guns, and used a grenade before. Hence, when he saw that black thing, he had already deduced that it was a grenade!
At that point, Xie Lao Hou started to get nervous. "Where exactly do you guys come from?"
Li Du shook the grenade in his hands and said, "Are you sure you want to know? If you learn about it, maybe someone would really throw one of these at you."
He pointed to the guns in the bodyguards' hands. Brother Wolf went over with some men to snatch those away.
The two bodyguards looked pleadingly at Xie Lao Hou, who did not give them any instructions. Hence, they could only watch as the guns were taken away from them.
Zhong Da Pao was done with the slapping. Both his hands were now red from the exertion, as though he had just gone through some intense martial arts training.
Lu Da You laid on the ground, sprawled out limply. He was holding onto his head as he writhed in pain. It seemed as though his jaw was now dislodged due to the beating.
Zhong Da Pao looked at Xie Lao Hou coldly and said, "Old Monkey, you're pretty capable. D*mn, you dare to bully my people?"
Xie Lao Hou said calmly, "Hey, Da Pao, don't call the kettle black. This thing has nothing to do with me. I don't even know what happened that you brought your men to break into my place."
He was a cunning man and knew that the current situation did not favor him. He would not be able to control Da Mao anymore and hence, he chose to pull himself out of the trouble quickly.
Besides, he even turned the tables around. "In fact, I think that you are the mastermind behind this. D*mn, did you purposely get someone to break into my room? And now you use this excuse to trap me? Hmph, I know this kind of tricks!"
Zhong Da Pao walked over with a solemn look and flexed his arm. Xie Lao Hou's face changed and he immediately retreated. At the same time, he shouted, "D*mn, you dare to lay a finger on me? There are soldiers outside, try if you dare!"
Hearing that, Zhong Da Pao laughed. He raised his arms and then lowered them lightly. "Master Hou, why did you become so timid? How would I have the gall to hit you? I'm here to help you look smarter in your clothes. Look, your button has come undone!"
