Chapter 498 Murder and Detention

As a younger brother was about to step forward, Li Zhonglou angrily stopped him. Huang Chengjiu then looked over with a cold laugh and waved his hand.

A subordinate stepped forward and stomped Huang Jian to the ground again. A grunt escaped Huang Jian, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Huang Chengjiu, do you want to die?"

Li Zhonglou glared at Huang Chengjiu, who sneered, "You truly have no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to trick me."

Li Zhonglou ignored him and walked directly to Huang Jian's side. The subordinates nearby still tried to stop him, but Li Zhonglou's glance halted their actions.

Was this the look of a human?

The subordinate was a bit bewildered, looking towards Huang Chengjiu. However, Huang Chengjiu merely stared coldly at Li Zhonglou.

Li Zhonglou checked Huang Jian's injuries. Fortunately, Huang Jian was quite sturdy, and his ribs had only suffered further injury.

"I advise you to apologize to my brother." Li Zhonglou turned to face Huang Chengjiu. At this moment, Zhou Yacheng and Tian Lingli also walked over, and their group was surrounded by Huang Chengjiu's dozens of subordinates.

"Apologize? You three think you're worthy of an apology from me?"

Huang Chengjiu sneered and pointed at the surrounding subordinates, "Believe it or not, each of them could drown you with a single stream of urine!"

"It would be too much of a shame to drown such a beautiful lady," one subordinate heckled. Huang Chengjiu looked Tian Lingli up and down and clicked his tongue, "Indeed, why don't we first let the brothers have some fun."

Tian Lingli's face immediately turned pale. She felt countless异样 gazes upon her and her body trembled uncontrollably. Seeing the situation turn dire, Zhou Yacheng quickly shielded Tian Lingli.

A colder chill settled in Li Zhonglou's heart. "If you have something against me, come at me. But if you start having wicked thoughts about others, your own life might be forfeit."

Huang Chengjiu's face turned cold. He stared at Li Zhonglou, gritting his teeth, and said, "Heh, come at me? Alright then!"

After speaking, Huang Chengjiu placed his foot on a subordinate's hand and pointed at his crotch, continuing, "Come, crawl through here, and bark twice for the brothers to hear, and I'll let this matter go!"

Huang Chengjiu looked at Li Zhonglou with an expression of mockery. The surrounding subordinates erupted in laughter.

"Brother, don't!"

Huang Jian quickly grabbed Li Zhonglou. Li Yacheng did the same, and said to Li Zhonglou with determination, "We'll fight to the death if necessary!"

Tian Lingli also clutched Li Zhonglou's sleeve, shaking her head repeatedly.

Seeing this, Huang Chengjiu became displeased and sneered, "What, you can't even take this little bit of humiliation? Or do you think the few of you can leave here safely?"

"How about this, my brother just kicked something dirty, so you clean the sole of his shoe for me, and I'll let you leave."

Huang Chengjiu then had that subordinate lift his foot and dangled it in front of Li Zhonglou as if teasing a dog.

The group was furious but dared not act rashly, so they could only glare fiercely at Huang Chengjiu.

Huang Chengjiu was clearly determined to humiliate Li Zhonglou. Li Zhonglou understood this well. Businessmen were all arrogant fellows, calling rich men "father" and bowing to the wealthy as if they were dogs. Rarely did they get a chance to step on others, so how could they let it go easily?

Li Zhonglou's thoughts raced as he considered how to respond.

Seeing Li Zhonglou's inaction, Huang Chengjiu lost his patience. He took the hunting rifle from a subordinate and pointed it at Huang Jian's head, saying, "It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Perhaps I should help you make the decision."

Huang Chengjiu sneered and loaded a bullet. Li Zhonglou immediately took a step forward, blocking Huang Jian behind him, "Boss Huang, leave some room for courtesy."

Huang Chengjiu handed the gun back to the subordinate and said, "Fine, I'll take one more step back. Kneel down and kowtow three times, and I'll let this matter go."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Huang Jian was the first to kneel. As Li Yacheng and Tian Lingli hesitated, Huang Chengjiu's subordinate, Agou, suddenly stepped forward and kicked Li Zhonglou.

"Damn it! Didn't you hear boss telling you to kneel?"

Li Zhonglou thought his chance had finally come. He sidestepped, and a swift, precise hand chop landed on Agou's neck, causing him to collapse to the ground, unconscious.

"Damn, he dares to fight back!"

Seeing this, all the subordinates were enraged and surged forward, rushing towards Li Zhonglou. The scene instantly became chaotic. The subordinates holding guns dared not fire randomly and could only guard Huang Chengjiu.

Dodging punches, Li Zhonglou grabbed a subordinate and threw him like a sandbag, knocking down several others. However, he was kicked fiercely from behind, stumbling forward several steps.

Li Zhonglou took advantage of the momentum, bending down to evade a subordinate's flying kick, sweeping the legs to bring down several more. With a "Crane Rising" kick from his right hand, he took down several more, and then used "Mountain Backing" to crash into the crowd.

Although the opponent had superior numbers, none of them were Li Zhonglou's match in terms of skill. Furthermore, due to their sheer numbers, their weapons had lost their space to maneuver. In an instant, Li Zhonglou was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, with continuous wails.

Bang!

A sudden gunshot stunned everyone. "Enough!"

Li Zhonglou turned his head and saw Huang Chengjiu had somehow retrieved the hunting rifle and was pointing it at Huang Jian's head.

Li Zhonglou had no choice but to stop. At this moment, Li Yacheng and Tian Lingli were trembling beside Huang Jian, clearly terrified by the gunshot.

"You can try firing. See who dies."

Li Zhonglou's inner killing intent grew stronger.

"You're still trying to act tough at this moment? You few, kneel down for me now, immediately, right away!" Huang Chengjiu glared with a ferocious expression, clearly having lost his patience.

Li Yacheng and Tian Lingli on the side were still hesitant, but Huang Chengjiu kicked them both, causing them to stagger.

"Kneel down for me, are your ears deaf?"

Li Yacheng grabbed Tian Lingli's hand and glared at Huang Chengjiu. But seeing Huang Chengjiu pointing the gun at them, they could only comply and slowly knelt.

At this moment, Huang Chengjiu suddenly noticed Li Zhonglou walking towards him and quickly shouted, "Don't move! Kneel!"

"What if I don't kneel?" Li Zhonglou stopped and said coldly.

"Then they can wait to meet King Yama!" Huang Chengjiu shouted, about to pull the trigger, when suddenly the sound of police sirens grew loud from outside, startling him.

Seizing the moment of Huang Chengjiu's shock, Li Zhonglou unleashed his strength, his body instantly appearing before Huang Chengjiu. To Huang Chengjiu's astonished gaze, Li Zhonglou grabbed his neck.

"I've endured you for a long time."

Crack, Huang Chengjiu's neck snapped, and the gun in his hand fell powerlessly.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the subordinates' eyes widened in fury, and they all charged forward.

"Stop!"

Bang!

Another shot rang out. This time, it was a police gunshot. Everyone immediately stopped, and with practiced ease, they clasped their heads and crouched down.

A group of police officers had already rushed in.

"Take all of them away!"

A police officer glanced at Huang Chengjiu's corpse, then coldly stared at Li Zhonglou, personally handcuffing him.

Thus, all four were handcuffed and put into a police car. However, Li Zhonglou noticed that from beginning to end, the police had not paid any attention to the counterfeit factory.
