Dudududu…
In the blink of an eye, more than ten seconds passed.
The landlady’s smile gradually faded.
She stared blankly at her phone, her brow furrowed, as the call remained unanswered.
“What’s going on?”
A bad premonition immediately arose in the landlady’s heart.
Although her son was just one of Guangtou Lao’s many godchildren, the filial piety she gave this month was much more than that of Guangtou Lao’s other godchildren.
Even for the sake of money, he shouldn’t ignore her call.
Seeing this, the tenants in the room breathed a collective sigh of relief.
But before they could celebrate, the landlady dialed another important figure in the Dragon Tiger Gate.
Ding!
This time, the phone only rang three times before it was answered.
In an instant, the landlady’s expression became extremely arrogant. She glanced at everyone triumphantly and turned on the speakerphone.
“Brother Kun, it’s Li Yuqin. I have a brat causing trouble here. Find someone to kill him for me immediately!” the landlady said fiercely, deliberately emphasizing the words “kill him.”
As soon as she said this, everyone, including Su Yingxue and the other tenants, changed their expressions.
This was a situation where lives were threatened if words didn’t match!
Seeing that everyone was scared, the landlady’s son looked at his mother with utmost admiration!
His arrogant demeanor was as if he was about to reach for the heavens!
However, Brother Kun’s response from the other end of the phone made everyone present dumbfounded.
“Do you have any idea that you’re getting me killed? Damn it, if I don’t die today, I’ll chop you, you dead pig, and your fat pig son tomorrow!”
Brother Kun’s voice was filled with endless anger, almost roaring.
Hearing this, the landlady was stunned and couldn’t recover for a long time.
The onlookers exchanged glances, and their expressions towards the landlady gradually changed.
“Gulp!”
The landlady swallowed and said, putting on a brave face, “Brother Kun, it’s Li Yuqin. Did you make a mistake?”
“Mistake your ass! I was hiding well, but your call exposed my location entirely.” Brother Kun shouted in exasperation.
As soon as he finished speaking, another roar came from the receiver.
“Here’s another one! Master Jiang said not to let any of them escape. Chop them!”
Then came a series of hysterical screams.
The sound sent chills down the spines of everyone present. Li Yuqin, in particular, screamed and dropped her phone.
“Brother Kun, the big boss of the Dragon Tiger Gate, is being hunted?”
“Has the Dragon Tiger Gate really… fallen?”
Li Yuqin muttered, her face turning ashen.
Without the backing of the Dragon Tiger Gate, her future life would not be so easy.
Upon hearing this, the onlookers became secretly delighted and excited.
The downfall of the Dragon Tiger Gate was definitely a cause for great celebration.
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, the landlady sneered, her face contorted, and said, “You low-class bastards, do you think you can trample on me just because the Dragon Tiger Gate is gone?”
“I’m telling you, it’s impossible!”
Chen Fan’s interest was piqued, and he said with a slight smile, “It seems you have other backups!”
“Kid, you’re right,” Li Yuqin gritted her teeth and said, “Today, I’ll show you my power.”
With that, Li Yuqin made another call.
“Li Lao Qi, where are you? Your sister is about to be beaten to death, and you’re not coming back quickly!”
“Sister, I’m nearby. I’ll bring people over immediately,” came a fierce voice from the other end of the phone.
“Good.”
Li Yuqin hung up the phone with satisfaction and turned to Chen Fan, her eyes filled with even more ferocity.
Her expression seemed to say, “Just you wait, you’ll regret this later.”
Chen Fan shrugged fearlessly, completely unconcerned by Li Yuqin’s threat.
About five minutes later, urgent footsteps could be heard from the corridor of the tenement building. Soon, seven or eight bare-chested men, wielding clubs and looking menacing, ran over.
Seeing these people, everyone gave way in fear.
Li Lao Qi was Li Yuqin’s biological brother and a notorious gangster in the neighborhood. Before Li Yuqin had connections with the Dragon Tiger Gate, she relied on her brother to act tough and domineering in the area.
“Who hit my sister? Are they tired of living!”
The bare-chested man leading the group had a large python tattooed on his arm, triangular eyes, and a crooked mouth. He was clearly a formidable character.
Li Yuqin pointed at Chen Fan and said, “It was this little brat who slapped me. I want to cut off that hand of his.”
Seeing Li Lao Qi, Su Yingxue’s face showed worry again.
“Brother Chen, we…”
She turned to Chen Fan, about to say something, but was interrupted.
“Don’t worry, no one can harm a single hair on your head!”
Chen Fan said gently to comfort her.
Su Yingxue’s face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, feeling even more conflicted and guilty.
She didn’t know how to repay Chen Fan.
But before she could think further, Chen Fan looked at Li Lao Qi, shook his head slightly, and chuckled, “That’s it?”
“Heh, kid, you’re quite bold!”
Li Lao Qi cracked his neck with a series of pops and walked towards Chen Fan with ill intentions.
Chen Fan shrugged noncommittally.
“Xiao Si, clear the area!”
Li Lao Qi ordered his subordinates, his expression becoming colder.
His subordinates immediately brandished their clubs and yelled at the onlookers.
“What are you looking at? Get lost!”
“This has nothing to do with you, get out of here.”
“Damn it, still here? Do you want to die!”
…
Under their threats, others dared not speak out of anger and retreated into their homes.
Soon, only Chen Fan, Su Yingxue, and Li Yuqin and her group remained.
Su Yingxue became nervous and instinctively grabbed Chen Fan’s clothes.
Although she was afraid, she didn’t say a word and stood firmly with Chen Fan.
“You’re dead!”
Li Yuqin stared at Chen Fan and said, word by word.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes, and he said proudly, “In this world, no one can take my life! Let alone you ants?”
“Kid, talking too big will make you bite your tongue.”
Li Lao Qi sneered.
“You can look below.”
Chen Fan suddenly said something inexplicable.
“Below?”
Li Lao Qi was puzzled.
“Li Lao Qi, stop wasting your breath with him. First, chop off his hands, then cut out his tongue!” Li Yuqin’s malice deepened.
But at this moment, dense footsteps could be heard from downstairs.
Following them was an oppressive aura, so intense that the entire sky seemed to darken.
Li Lao Qi instinctively felt a sense of unease.
With legs as heavy as lead, he slowly moved two steps towards the outer edge of the corridor and looked down.
He froze the moment he looked down. His entire body stiffened, and even his expression was petrified…
