Chapter 123 - Deterrence
Li Xiang lit up a cigarette and sat on the sofa as he smoked freely. Although Mo Fei was a little worried, she believed in Li Xiang's strength, so she was not worried.
Li Xiang turned his head and gave her a comforting look. Mo Fei didn't think anymore, she started to swim while leaning on the sofa. She did not need to worry about this sort of thing.
Bang! The door was kicked open. A few hoodlums came in. They were all dressed in strange clothes and held iron sticks in their hands. They looked like a bunch of thugs.
However, what Li Xiang paid attention to were not these few people, but rather a young man who had been hiding behind them all this while. Even though that person was also wearing the same clothes, he gave off the feeling that he was incompatible, and there was even an undetectable feeling of disgust and impatience in his expression.
That young man must have been the one who instigated the assassination attempt. If he let these impulsive young men of Matt's group take the lead, they could conceal his identity without anyone noticing. It seemed like this was not a simple matter.
The person who kicked the door open was the one leading the group of young men who killed Matt. He had dyed red hair, and looked like cheap paint that was smeared on his head, but that person still thought that it was very popular. He kept stroking his hair with his hands behind his back, thinking that it was a natural and unrestrained action.
The leader took a step forward, placed his right foot on the tea table, and leaned forward as he viciously said, "Have you seen a middle-aged man running towards this place? We're looking for him."
Li Xiang flicked his cigarette, and coincidentally, the cigarette ash landed on the big boss's shoes. The black shoes were stained with the cigarette ash, and Li Xiang laughed casually: "Oh, what a coincidence, I landed on your shoes." Although it was an apology, the tone did not contain the slightest hint of an apology.
The youths behind him could not help but shout out: "Nan-ge, kill this brat, how dare you oppose us assassins."
"Yes, kill him. Kill him."
When Li Xiang heard the name of the gang in the Assassin Guild, he immediately laughed out loud. He really didn't know if they had watched too many movies, or if they knew how to kill people, or if he actually knew how to kill pigs.
The young man called Nan-ge raised the stick in his hand and smashed it onto the tea table. The entire tea table trembled and split open from the middle, more and more cracks appearing on the table.
Just like that, the good tea table was destroyed, what if he had to pay it back? Li Xiang sighed in regret.
Seeing that Li Xiang was looking at the tea table and not saying anything, he thought he had been scared by his own viciousness, and laughed complacently, then continued to scare Li Xiang: "How about it, you're scared right?
Mo Fei could not watch any longer at the side. It was really her first time seeing this kind of person, when she was doing business in the past she had interacted with a lot of gang leaders, and they were even being courteous to him. Just where did this little group of hooligans come from that dared to act so arrogantly in front of him?
"Get out of here as soon as possible, or else you will have to bear the consequences." An ice-cold voice came out from Mo Fei's mouth, making him look as cold as ice, causing people's hearts to feel a chill. However, it was precisely this kind of flower that made people have the desire to conquer it.
It was as if Nan-ge had found a new continent, when he looked at Mo Fei from top to bottom, his saliva was almost dripping from his eyes. Nan-ge had never seen such a beautiful woman, even more beautiful than a movie star.
Nan-ge immediately put down his legs and tidied up his hair: "There is such a beautiful woman, why are you being so fierce? Brother is only joking with you, drink a cup with me today, and we will leave immediately." She then wanted to walk over to Mo Fei's side.
At this time, Li Xiang kicked forward. Nan-ge was caught off guard and with a wail, he kneeled on the ground. Everyone in the private room seemed to hear the sound of bones shattering, and their hearts suddenly trembled.
The Nan-ge wailed in pain as he laid on the ground, both hands holding onto his throbbing knees. The lackeys present were so scared that they didn't dare to move forward.
Li Xiang used all his strength in this one strike, saying that he was fine with just a few words, and actually dared to take liberties with Mo Fei. This fellow's guts were just too fat, to the point that even breaking his knees was light.
At this time, someone said, "He injured Nan-ge, we will avenge him." His words caused the frightened little brothers to wake up, and they waved the staves in their hands excitedly, as if they wanted to eat Li Xiang whole.
"Your Nan-ge is about to faint from the pain." Li Xiang looked at them calmly, not afraid at all because of their numbers. On the contrary, he looked even more calm, as if he did not even exist, as if he did not care about them at all.
Indeed, the Nan-ge's wails became weaker and weaker, his face became extremely pale, without a trace of blood on it, his lips were bitten so hard that blood flowed out, he looked extremely miserable.
Everyone quickly helped him to lie down on the sofa. They could not say a word about the Nan-ge man, but at this time the loyal little brother had already called an ambulance, his backbone was already injured to such an extent, they did not know whether to make a move or not.
At this time, he shouted, "Revenge! "Revenge!" Everyone's morale was boosted as they raised the weapons in their hands and shouted.
Li Xiang looked at the man in the crowd. Previously, he didn't hear clearly who was speaking, but this time, he was careful. It should be him.
The first to rush over was a yellow-haired guy. He held a thin iron rod in his hand and waved it around in the air.
Li Xiang just so happened to want to vent his emotions. Since it was you guys who came looking for him, then don't blame yourself for it, go ahead and kick him, the yellow haired brat fell to the ground, his face was on the ground, and his face was covered in blood. He looked extremely miserable.
This time, no one dared to go. They normally relied on their strong numbers to show off, but after seeing how powerful Li Xiang was, they did not dare to step out.
Moreover, they had forgotten the purpose of their visit. The people hiding in the bathroom held their breath as they listened to the noises outside. They also didn't know whether to laugh or cry as they listened to the people outside finding them and getting beaten up.
The purpose of him hiding in the crowd was to keep an eye on them. Although this group of hoodlums couldn't do anything big, they could use it to hide his real identity without revealing it. However, the development of the situation was outside of his control.
Originally, he just wanted to deal with this arrogant brat in front of him because he felt that he was hiding in the bathroom behind him. However, this person appeared out of nowhere and was so hard to deal with.
These hooligans would have a chance of winning with their numbers, but no matter how many people he had on his side, they wouldn't be able to beat him. Seeing him so anxious, the people around him thought that he was afraid and even comforted him.
Li Xiang walked forward a few steps, stepping on the yellow hair's face. The yellow hair cried out, but he did not dare move, and his sharp eyes swept past everyone present. None of them dared to look straight into Li Xiang's eyes, and they fearfully lowered their heads, "Now, all of you get lost, otherwise, your fate would be them."
Everyone was shocked, the last brother ran out in panic. Seeing that someone had left, the other people threw down all their weapons, and at least two loyal people carried Nan-ge and the yellow hair away. Dong Hua looked at the bathroom unwillingly, but then, thinking of how Li Xiang was so ruthless, he took the chance and ran off in a panic.
Li Xiang originally wanted to catch him, but after thinking for a while, he found that it had nothing to do with his.
Mo Fei sat there without saying a word, but she could clearly feel her anger. Li Xiang took two steps forward, and gently rubbed her hair, and felt how comfortable it was. Li Xiang joked.
Mo Fei shook his hand, and stared at him: "It's my fault you look so good, you're the one who is a disaster to me."
The bathroom door was pushed open, and the middle-aged man walked out, looking a bit embarrassed. He didn't want to interrupt the flirting between the two, but he had to leave quickly, "I'm from Yellow Mountain, thank you. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble today." He bowed sincerely.
This move had scared the two of them. They had only helped him along the way, was there a need to make such a huge bow? However, Mo Fei felt that this name was very familiar, as if she had heard of it somewhere before. However, after thinking back carefully, it was true that she had never seen this person before.
Mo Fei felt that she might have remembered wrongly, so she did not continue to think, and immediately waved her hand at Huang Shan: "It's nothing, there's no need to thank us so much."
"Of course. If I were to fall into their hands today, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thank you." Yellow Mountain truly thanked him from the bottom of his heart. It hadn't been long since he came here, and he hadn't even had the time to establish his personal connections before he encountered this kind of thing.
Li Xiang looked at Huang Shan's miserable state and then suggested: "We can send Mr. Huang back. With Mr. Huang's dressing, he will definitely attract people's attention.
Huang Shan waved his hand, looking a bit embarrassed: "Then it's good that you two, little brothers, lend me your phone for a bit. I'll call my family and have them come and pick me up."
Li Xiang was supposed to be polite, and not send him back. They had only met by chance, and that was enough for them to take this step.
Therefore, he handed the phone to Huang Shan. Huang Shan took the phone and broadcasted a number. Soon, the call connected.
"Big Brother, where are you?" The voice on the other end of the phone was deafening, even Li Xiang could hear it.
Huang Shan smiled embarrassedly at Li Xiang and Mo Fei, "I'm at the Bright Moon Restaurant on X. Come over and pick me up, bring a few more people with you." With that, he hung up.
