The middle-aged man being beaten was indeed Wu Guide.

It was hard to tell if his skin was made of iron. They had broken several sticks trying to beat him, but he hadn't uttered a single sound.

"Alright, stop!"

Just then, a buzz-cut man in a floral embroidered suit shouted from the outside.

The thugs immediately stopped what they were doing. The buzz-cut man parted the crowd and swaggered over to Wu Guide.

He stepped on Wu Guide's face and spat, "Damn you, Wu Guide, you're tough, huh!"

The buzz-cut man was named Tang Xiaolong. He used to be a well-known hoodlum in the surrounding villages.

Later, he met a good boss in the city and made something of himself. He opened a loan company and kept a group of fierce thugs under his command.

Wu Guide was beaten like this because he owed him a high-interest loan and couldn't pay it back.

Wu Guide seemed determined, no matter how Tang Xiaolong and his men beat, scolded, and humiliated him, he didn't say a word.

When asked to repay the money, he only had two words: "No money!"

"Wu Guide, I'll give you three more days. If you still don't pay, I'll fucking kill you!"

Tang Xiaolong was very arrogant, issuing a death threat to Wu Guide in broad daylight.

Wu Guide glanced at him with a wooden expression, still uttering those two words: "No money!"

It was clear that he was determined to weasel out of the debt.

Death threats had no effect on him, because his wooden eyes showed that he was not a man who wanted to live.

Wu Guide's attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water frustrated Tang Xiaolong.

And the methods he usually excelled at were completely useless on Wu Guide.

Just then, he suddenly remembered that when he was drinking with his old buddies from his hometown yesterday, they mentioned this matter, and those buddies mentioned Wu Guide's weakness.

Tang Xiaolong decided to give it a try.

"Wu Guide, I know you're not afraid of death, but what about your precious daughter? If you don't pay, I'll fucking take your daughter to pay off the debt!"

"I heard she's in a vegetative state? I've fucked all kinds of women, but I've never fucked a vegetable. I'll just use her to break the ice, hahaha..."

Tang Xiaolong grinned lewdly, but before he could finish laughing, Wu Guide, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and punched Tang Xiaolong in the corner of his eye!

Tang Xiaolong's vision turned red instantly, his eye socket cracked, and blood flowed down.

And Wu Guide seemed like a different person. His originally wooden and dull eyes were now full of ferocity and murderous intent.

"Fuck you, Tang Xiaolong, if you dare to lay a hand on my daughter, I'll kill your whole family!"

The surging murderous aura on Wu Guide instantly stunned Tang Xiaolong.

But it only stunned him for a moment. Tang Xiaolong then came back to his senses, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Damn it, kill him!"

The thugs woke up as if from a dream, swarmed forward, knocked Wu Guide to the ground, and began to kick and punch him again.

"Damn it, don't really kill him, who am I going to get the money from if he's dead..."

Tang Xiaolong was so angry that he was tearing his hair out, like a mad dog.

Just then, an angry voice suddenly came from afar.

"You bunch of bastards, stop it!"

Immediately afterward, a heavily made-up woman ran frantically towards this side, her high heels falling off.

This woman was naturally Feng Jie.

Although she was far away, she recognized at a glance that the person surrounded and beaten by those people was her man.

Feng Jie rushed into the crowd desperately, pushed the thugs away, and protected Wu Guide with her body.

"Damn it, just because you're a woman doesn't mean we won't hit you, kill them both! Fuck!"

Tang Xiaolong cursed.

His eye socket was cracked, and he was worried about not having a place to vent his anger.

This old woman came at the right time, just in time to vent it all on her.

However, just then, a black shadow rushed into the crowd, like a tiger descending the mountain, and with a few punches and kicks, knocked all of Tang Xiaolong's men to the ground.

Such a small matter naturally did not require Chen Xiao to take action himself.

The one who rushed over was Qi Tianhu!

"Damn you, who are you? I'm warning you not to meddle in other people's business. Do you know who I am?"

Tang Xiaolong saw that Qi Tianhu was a stranger and thought he was just a nosy passerby.

Qi Tianhu smiled. He couldn't believe that in Jiang City, someone dared to talk to him like that.

"Then do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?"

"I am Qi Tianhu."

After a few words, Tang Xiaolong was completely dumbfounded.

"Tiger, Tiger Lord... You, you really are Tiger Lord..."

Tang Xiaolong finally recognized the middle-aged uncle in front of him. He had thought he looked a little familiar before.

But he had only seen Qi Tianhu from a distance, so he didn't think of it that way at all.

How could the underground emperor of Dragon City appear in a remote place like Luokou Town!

Tang Xiaolong felt that he must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today. The bad luck was so overwhelming that it was like drinking cold water and getting his teeth stuck.

Yin San'er deeply sympathized with this, but he was different from Tang Xiaolong. He had already divined that he would have bad luck today, but unfortunately, he still couldn't avoid it.

"Tiger Lord, spare me, I was blind and offended you. I deserve to die..."

Tang Xiaolong knelt in front of Qi Tianhu and slapped himself in the face.

"What's going on?"

Qi Tianhu asked indifferently.

"Tiger Lord, this kid owes us money..."

Tang Xiaolong told the whole story.

After listening, Qi Tianhu nodded: "His debt is on my head. If you want the money, come and find me."

Tang Xiaolong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Tiger Lord, how dare I ask you for the money? Forget it, I don't want this money."

"You don't want it? Then get lost!"

Chen Da's matter was important, and Qi Tianhu didn't want to waste time on such a small character.

He would send them away first and then settle the score with them later.

"Thank you, Tiger Lord, thank you, Tiger Lord!"

Tang Xiaolong didn't expect Qi Tianhu to let him go so easily, and he kowtowed to Qi Tianhu three times.

Only then did he stand up and wave his hand at the younger brothers: "Withdraw..."

Bang!

The last syllable of Tang Xiaolong's "withdraw" hadn't finished yet when his body suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist with a bang.

Immediately afterward, a series of bangs sounded, and all the brothers Tang Xiaolong had brought turned into blood mist.

The air was filled with the smell of blood.

Chen Xiao walked slowly, and as he passed Qi Tianhu, he said quietly: "Lao Qi, you are getting more and more soft-hearted now."
