Old Feng's expression changed, and before he could speak again, a man in green pushed him aside.
Later, the three even took out short knives from their waists.
Fatty's legs went soft instantly. He knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down his face.
"Please don't kill me, I really don't know where that thing is."
"You don't know?"
A man in green viciously came up to Fatty, grabbed him by the collar, and pressed a short knife to his neck.
"I'll give you five more seconds to think. If you don't talk, you can go explain yourself to the King of Hell!"
Fatty was clearly just an ordinary person who had never seen the world. His face instantly turned pale, and a stream of yellow liquid flowed down his pants.
A foul odor immediately filled the entire restaurant.
The man in green who was holding Fatty frowned, but he showed no intention of stopping. Just as the short knife was about to be pressed down, Old Feng hurried forward to beg for mercy.
"Sir, haven't I paid a lot of money over the years? For my sake, could you let him go first?"
"Who the hell do you think you are!"
Another man in green stepped forward and kicked Old Feng to the ground, overturning several tables and chairs. The noodles that the fleeing customers hadn't eaten scattered all over the floor.
Old Feng also fell directly at Li Chonglou's feet.
Whether it was out of instinct or something else, Old Feng subconsciously grabbed Li Chonglou's foot.
"Friend, help me."
Li Chonglou's brows were already tightly furrowed, but thinking of Old Feng's kindness to him these past few days, he sighed softly.
"Wait a moment."
Li Chonglou's sudden words attracted the attention of the four burly men in green.
However, seeing Li Chonglou's appearance, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, the man in green holding Fatty flashed a look of disdain in his eyes.
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way! The Green Gang is handling business, obstruction means death!"
Li Chonglou slowly stood up: "Friend, let's talk. Killing them two won't solve anything."
"Who the hell are you?"
The man holding Fatty was clearly the leader of the four. Seeing that Li Chonglou remained calm after hearing the words "Green Gang," he was a little unsure.
The current situation in Shangjing had become unprecedentedly complicated. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been afraid even if the police were present!
Li Chonglou did not answer his question but asked, "Which master are you following? Is Sister Xia doing well recently?"
The faces of the four changed slightly.
The leading burly man asked doubtfully, "You know Sister Li Meixia?"
Li Chonglou smiled faintly: "How about I call Sister Xia first? But I lost my phone, can you lend me one?"
Just then, a woman's voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"Even if Li Meixia herself came, she has no right to interfere in my business."
Everyone immediately turned their heads.
It was a woman in her thirties, heavily made up and wearing a gorgeous qipao. She looked not only like a beautiful woman but also possessed the boldness of northerners.
Her every move exuded the aura of a noble lady.
The woman held a cigarette in her hand, her pair of long eyelashes trembling slightly, but the eyes beneath them were somewhat cold.
Upon seeing the woman, the four burly men instantly retracted their arrogance and respectfully said, "Sister Feng."
The woman nodded slightly and walked straight up to Fatty.
She first glanced at Li Chonglou, then directly pressed the cigarette in her hand onto Fatty's face.
A puff of gray smoke rose. Fatty trembled in pain, but he didn't even dare to cry out in front of the woman.
Even Old Feng regretted it and couldn't help but secretly tug at Li Chonglou's pant leg.
Li Chonglou looked down. The other party quickly blocked his sight and gave him a meaningful look.
But Li Chonglou just smiled faintly.
Then he looked back at this suddenly appearing, powerful woman.
"Sister Feng, may I ask what this is about?"
The woman sat to the side, crossing her legs. Her long, fair legs looked exceptionally eye-catching under the qipao, making even the four burly men breathe a little heavier.
However, they dared not show any disrespect. Not only were they standing straight, but their gaze did not dare to stray even slightly.
The woman lit another cigarette.
Amidst the swirling smoke, the woman finally spoke, "You want to help them?"
"To repay a small favor."
"Alright, come with me."
The woman exhaled a puff of smoke and stood up again.
"Bring the people."
Then she gave a look to two of the men in green.
The entire process was smooth and efficient, without any hesitation.
Li Chonglou followed behind her.
Thus, two men in green, with Li Chonglou and Fatty, followed the woman out of the restaurant, while the other two men controlled Old Feng.
"Xiao Li, why did you get involved in this?"
In his mind, Old Lin asked his doubts.
"I need to find an opportunity to return to the Green Gang anyway, and isn't this a good chance?"
Moreover, Li Chonglou didn't like owing favors. Whether Old Feng's reaction was instinctive or genuine, since he had asked for help, Li Chonglou felt he should help if he could.
Also, in his opinion, anything involving the Green Gang would likely be related to finances. He still had some money in his bank card, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
However, when he followed the three to a residential building, he realized that he had underestimated the situation.
As an old, dilapidated door opened, what greeted them was a murder scene!
Blood that had not yet coagulated had splattered on the floor and walls, and a shocking trail of blood extended from the living room into the room!
This was an old residential house of only fifty square meters. The inherently dim environment, coupled with the bloodstains, immediately turned it into a living hell.
Li Chonglou's nerves tensed instantly.
After all, he was in a normal human body now, and the sequelae of his self-crippled meridians had not been completely resolved. If someone wanted to harm him, they wouldn't even need cultivators; one or two martial artists would be enough!
"What's going on?"
Seeing the woman about to walk into the room, Li Chonglou, standing closest to the door, suddenly spoke.
The woman turned around, a hint of disappointment and indifference in her eyes: "Are you scared?"
Li Chonglou shook his head: "I just want to understand the situation first."
"If you're scared, then you don't need to come in."
The woman gestured to the two men in green, who then dragged the already weak-kneed Fatty inside.
The woman also followed into the room.
Li Chonglou stood there, thought for a moment, and finally sighed and followed them in.
Inside the room, the scene was several times more horrifying than outside.
A naked long-haired female corpse lay on the bed, her hands and feet bound, and her lower body was bloody and mangled, clearly having suffered inhuman abuse before her death!
Even the air seemed to be filled with a chilling aura!
Fatty was forced to his knees by the two men in green by the bedside. His head was shoved forward, scaring him into screams and pleas.
