The night was as desolate as water.
The entire county town was deep in slumber, and from the occasional houses passing by, snores could be heard.
In this bleak night, three figures traversed the streets.
All of them stood over 1.8 meters tall, erect and slender. Particularly, the light emanating from their eyes was sharp and piercing, instilling an inexplicable sense of dread.
"Is this the place?"
A few minutes later, the three figures stopped beneath a luxurious small Western-style building. A dark figure inquired.
"That's right, this is Guo Bokun's house!"
"According to the confessions of those three lackeys, Guo Bokun lived separately from his family to facilitate his daily debauchery. He often brought girls here to indulge!"
Another dark figure spoke up.
"Then I'll go in and see if he's here!"
The last lean and tall dark figure said. Before his voice faded, he sprinted rapidly. As he approached the small Western-style building, he suddenly leaped. The wall, about two meters high, was easily scaled.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he steadied himself, a series of heavy breaths emanated from somewhere near the corner of the wall. Then, a dark figure lunged out, baring its fangs.
"Damn it!"
The dark figure was startled and agilely dodged, narrowly avoiding the attack of the large wolfhound.
Missing its target, the wolfhound immediately let out a loud bark from its throat, which was piercingly loud in the silent night. The two dark figures outside heard it, and their expressions changed.
"This bastard actually keeps a large wolfhound!"
"Let's go, we'll go in and help!"
With that, the two dark figures also climbed into the courtyard. Seeing more people enter, the wolfhound barked even more fiercely.
"You son of a bitch, you don't want to live anymore, watch me beat you to death!"
Seeing this, one dark figure clenched his fist and charged at the wolfhound. Man and dog immediately collided.
The dark figure, with agile movements, grabbed the lunging wolfhound by the neck. The wolfhound, like a calf, had little strength to resist in his hands.
Then, the dark figure, with fists the size of bowls, punched the wolfhound's head with a "bang, bang," causing the wolfhound to tremble all over. Its barks changed, sounding like pleas for mercy.
Only then did the dark figure release it. The wolfhound, dragging its head, retreated into its kennel, not daring to show its face again.
"That's strange, with so much commotion, why is there no reaction from upstairs?"
At this moment, one dark figure stared at the silent building and spoke.
"Could it be that that scoundrel isn't home tonight?"
"Let's go and see!"
The three dark figures went upstairs together. Facing the closed anti-theft door, they opened it in just a few moves.
After the three entered, they found a bedroom reeking of alcohol. Turning on the light, they saw a man and a woman, both extremely drunk, fast asleep.
Both were naked, a very indecent sight.
"Damn, isn't this Xiao Hong from Sunny Days? I didn't expect her to be with this scoundrel tonight!"
Yao Dong recognized the woman's face and chuckled sinisterly, his eyes roving over Xiao Hong's figure.
"A few days ago, this bitch was sleeping with me, and now she's here!"
"How many days ago? Xiao Hong was with me the day before yesterday!"
Bai Xiaoguang said, his eyes also not leaving Xiao Hong's alluring body.
"My time is definitely earlier than yours, let me think!"
Yao Dong recalled seriously, counting on his fingers.
Zheng Chengdao, standing beside them, was utterly speechless, looking at his two unreliable friends with a dark expression.
He then walked to the bedside and struck Xiao Hong's neck with a chop, causing her to completely lose consciousness.
"Cover their faces, don't let this scoundrel see our faces!"
Yao Dong and Bai Xiaoguang each took out masks from their pockets and put them on. Only their eyes, nose, and mouth were exposed; nothing else was visible.
Such proficient actions showed they were experienced, not doing this for the first time.
"I remember now, it was a week ago!"
Finally, Yao Dong shouted.
Perhaps the loud voice made the drunk Guo Bokun on the bed groggily open his eyes.
When he saw the three masked strangers before him, he was immediately startled and sat up from the bed, his drunkenness largely clearing. He stammered, "Spare me! Spare me!!"
"Whatever you want, just take it! I won't stop you!"
Guo Bokun was, after all, a man of the underworld and was quick-witted and efficient.
"We don't want money!"
However, to Guo Bokun's surprise, a burly figure said calmly.
This answer made Guo Bokun's heart sink considerably. People in the underworld feared hearing this the most.
This was undoubtedly the worst news. They didn't fear benevolent heroes seeking wealth, but feared them seeking something else, like life...
"Which faction are you from? I... I really haven't done anything bad!"
"Is it about a woman?"
"I admit I did seduce a few decent women and injured their men. Tell me which family sent you, and I'm willing to pay a large sum to appease them! I'm also willing to give you three heroes a lot of money!"
Hearing that they weren't there for money, Guo Bokun completely panicked and spoke without thinking.
These words almost made the masked Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong laugh. This guy was indeed not a good person. Not only did he hook up with other people's wives, but he also injured their husbands. Truly a scumbag!
"Our client said he wants one of your legs. Please cooperate!"
Yao Dong walked up to Guo Bokun, who was cowering at the head of the bed.
This sentence utterly terrified Guo Bokun. Tears streamed down his face as he cried, "No! No!"
"How much did your client pay you? I'll pay double! No! Five times!"
"Sorry, we have professional ethics. Even if you offer a million tonight, we have to complete the mission!"
Zheng Chengdao walked out, extended his rough and powerful hand, grabbed Guo Bokun's ankle, and pulled him off the bed onto the floor.
During this, Guo Bokun's head accidentally hit a cabinet nearby, causing him excruciating pain. But this pain was nothing compared to losing a leg.
"Good sirs, spare my life! Spare my life!"
Guo Bokun pleaded, but the three masked figures remained unmoved. Seeing that begging was useless, Guo Bokun's eyes rolled, and his ferocity surfaced.
"My father is Guo Guang. If you are from Yongnan County, you must have heard of this name. If you cripple me tonight, my father will never let you go!"
"Even if you run to the ends of the earth, it won't help!"
However, faced with Guo Bokun's threat, the three figures simply looked at him calmly. One of them even showed disdain and contempt in his eyes.
"Guo Guang?"
"Who does he think he is!!"
"If I get pissed off, I'll break his leg too!"
"Do it!!"
The next second, a wad of cloth was stuffed into Guo Bokun's mouth. Soon after, a mournful scream of bone-chilling pain echoed through the silent building, startling the large wolfhound in its kennel below, making it tremble.
On the ground, Guo Bokun clutched a leg, writhing in agony!
His leg had just been shattered by the three men using an iron rod. He himself could hear the crunching sound of bones.
Watching the backs of the three dark figures as they left, Guo Bokun's eyes were filled with boundless fear.
Suddenly, at this moment, the last dark figure turned back and said to him, "Oh, I almost forgot, our client has a message for you!"
"Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing their parents!"
"We welcome fair competition, but we dislike malicious competition, especially low-handed tactics like smashing shop fronts and splashing paint!"
"This is just the interest this time!"
"If there's a next time, it won't just be a leg that gets broken!"
With that, the dark figure left, leaving behind only Guo Bokun, who was wailing in pain in the room.
A long time later, enduring the intense pain, Guo Bokun found his phone and dialed his father's number.
"Dad, save me quickly!"
"My leg was broken..."
