Chapter 1 Nanxiang Street

Zha Nan, Nanxiang Street.

A half-sized truck stopped directly in front of the Changqing garbage plant. Three men jumped out of the truck, and the leader shouted, "Get the gear!"

"Whoosh!"

More than a hundred people rushed out of the yard, crowding around the truck and grabbing the bundles of knives and sticks stacked on it.

Immediately afterwards, four trucks drove out of the yard and waited at the gate.

Next to a large SUV outside the yard, a man of medium build with a buzz cut held a phone and asked, "He Lao Er, how many people do you have left? Thirty? Okay, we won't wait for the others. Meet me directly at the bridge. Okay, that's it."

This buzz-cut man was called Du Shengming, Li Hongze's top lieutenant, whom he had brought from District One. He was also an old tough guy who had roamed outside the district. It was said that he was extremely fierce in fights, on par with Lu Feng, and was known as the Twin Blades of Changqing.

Ten minutes later, the Changqing Company's men took all their gear and climbed onto the trucks. Du Shengming saw that time was running out, immediately yanked open the car door, spat, and shouted, "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight cars set off from the garbage plant and headed straight for the port.

...

On Erdao Street in the port, Li Xing stood beside the car and waited for a while. Then, two police cars pulled up to the side of the road, and six or seven of Li Xing's close friends from the police station got out.

"Where are the others?" Li Xing asked.

"I don't know what's going on today, but Deputy Director Guo didn't leave tonight. He's been in a meeting at the station," a young man said in a low voice. "I called our brothers on duty, but they don't dare to come out. They're all listening to the lecture."

"Guo didn't leave?" Li Xing asked, feeling something was wrong. "What kind of meeting is going on in the middle of the night?"

"It seems to be some kind of technical training session. Two technical investigation experts from District One are giving lectures," the young man replied.

Li Xing felt a little strange when he heard this, because although people from District One often came to give lectures to the police department, covering all kinds of topics, it was indeed rare to hold a meeting in the middle of the night.

Standing on the side of the road, Li Xing, who had originally planned to go back to welcome Lu Feng and Du Shengming, did not leave when he saw that so few people had come from his side. He only whispered, "Don't change clothes. Just put on your work permits."

"Okay."

The crowd nodded.

...

On the way back to the Changqing Company.

Lu Feng sat lazily in the back seat of the car, fiddling with his phone, while his brother sat in the passenger seat, constantly making phone calls, remotely gathering manpower.

"Brother, we've gathered more than a hundred people. They're all at the yard. Should we let them leave directly?" the brother in the passenger seat turned around and asked.

Lu Feng looked up and replied expressionlessly, "No, wait a little longer. Let Du Shengming leave first, then our people can leave."

"Why? Our starting points are different anyway, and we're farther away than them," the brother was a little confused. "Besides, I just asked, and Lao Du has already left after gathering his people."

Lu Feng took off his Buddhist beads and cursed irritably, "I have a feeling that something big is going to happen tonight."

"Heh." The brother grinned. "What big deal could there be? With several hundred people entering the port, there's definitely not going to be a fight! Xu Hu and Wei Xiangzuo are the ones who are going to solve the problem. We're just going there to show support."

"With your IQ, I really don't know how you managed to get by my side," Lu Feng frowned and cursed. "Tonight, either Xu Hu goes down, or Wei Xiangzuo goes down. It's a matter of life and death, and you're still thinking that there won't be a fight?"

"With so many people, can there really be a fight?"

"Didn't you see Lao Li's expression just now? He was about to run away on a rocket. If Xu Hu hadn't gone out to talk to him, he would definitely be sitting in the company drinking tea right now." Lu Feng waved his hand and replied, "I'm just thinking about one thing now."

"What's the matter?"

"If there's a real fight tonight, and things get out of hand, who's going to take the blame in the end?" Lu Feng asked his brother.

"Isn't it Xu Hu, or the Yu family and Wei Xiangzuo? Is there even a need to think about it?"

"You're talking about the surface." Lu Feng shook his head. "I'm talking about if Xu Hu doesn't hold his ground, who will take the blame for Changqing? With hundreds of people causing trouble, and at this critical moment, who will the higher-ups target?"

Hearing this, the brother in the passenger seat also fell into deep thought.

Lu Feng sighed and cursed, "Damn it, I'm too cheap. There was originally a temple fair at Hongshan Temple. They even sent me an invitation to go to District Five for half a month... I was too lazy... so I didn't go..."

"So, you mean?"

"Lao Li has spoken, and we definitely can't not go. Call them and slow down a bit. We'll gather at Tonglin Bridge outside the port," Lu Feng looked up and instructed. "Follow behind Lao Du."

"Got it." The brother nodded.

Lu Feng turned his head to look out the window, his face solemn.

...

Tonglin Bridge is one of the main roads connecting the port and the district. The bridge is sixty meters wide and five hundred and twenty meters long. Compared with the Long Bridge in the inner port, it looks slightly more imposing here.

About twenty minutes later, Du Shengming's convoy arrived near Tonglin Bridge. As long as they crossed here, they could enter Tianhong Port.

The convoy slowly approached along the dimly lit street. A man stood by the side of the road and picked up his phone. "The people from Changqing are coming!"

In the Yu family's compound, Su Tianyu held his phone in his right hand and said in a low voice, "Zheng Hui, don't show yourselves unless absolutely necessary. We still have to stay in Dragon City. We can't make too much of a scene."

"Okay, I got it," Kong Zheng Hui replied.

Su Tianyu immediately asked, "Have the Zhou family's people arrived?"

"They're here."

"Call them and tell them to hit Changqing as hard as they can!" Su Tianyu said with a cold glint in his eyes. "Tell that Cui Bin that if he doesn't scare Changqing, our union won't have a peaceful day. Beat them once, and let them remember it for ten years!"

"Okay!" Kong Zheng Hui nodded.

After the two ended the call, Su Tianyu immediately dialed Wei Xiangzuo's number again. "I guarantee you that Changqing won't be able to enter the port in a short time. You need to be quick on your end."

"I've already arrived at the port." Wei Xiangzuo got off the boat and looked up at the shore. Xiao Feng was standing there waiting with more than twenty people. "I don't need you to worry about the affairs in the port, but you have to block the people on the outside for me."

"No problem." Su Tianyu immediately replied, "This battle must push you up!"

"Okay, let's go up together!" Wei Xiangzuo hung up the phone, stepped onto the steps, and said to Xiao Feng, "Tell the brothers on Erdao Street and Sandao Street that Lao Wei is back. Anyone in Tianhong Port who still recognizes me, grab a knife tonight and support our scene."

...

Tonglin Bridge.

As Du Shengming's convoy was about to reach the bridge entrance, forty or fifty people suddenly rushed out of the alleys on both sides.

Cui Bin, the Red Pole of the Zhou family's North Hall, pointed at the convoy in the alley with a short cleaver and said, "Those with guns, don't get out yet. If they don't fire, we won't fire."
