The man in the floral shirt is called Lao Biao, a name reverberated in their circles, but his real name remains unknown.
Lao Biao is a notorious gangster in the area and a frequent prisoner. What baffles people is that each time he is incarcerated, he is released within days to continue his nefarious activities.
Liu Yue rushed over in haste, jumped down swiftly, picked up a branch by the side, and shielded the children, shouting, "You bandits! What else do you want!"
Lao Biao touched his chin, glanced at the two who suddenly appeared, and clicked his tongue, "You arrived quite fast! What am I here for? Obviously, I’m here to get Mrs. Wu’s signature! Just sign this contract, and we will never harass you again!"
"Is there no law left? The orphanage is ours! You say demolish and demolish! Now you even want to force us to sign! Don’t you fear being struck by lightning?"
Liu Yue, infuriated, roared at Lao Biao.
Lao Biao chuckled lightly, standing nonchalantly above, looking down at Liu Yue, "Law? Do you even know who’s backing Boss Shao? It’s the Nangong Family from the Six Great Families of Jing City. Talking about law with the Nangong Family? Do you think you’ve lived too long?"
Although Lao Biao indulges in wrongdoing, there’s one thing he absolutely won’t touch—human lives.
So, he just comes here to scare them occasionally—simple, unsophisticated scare tactics are enough to terrify them.
Matters involving the relevant departments are not their concern anyway.
"Lin Dong, you better persuade Mrs. Wu. Look how pitiful these children are crying. Let her sign it, and then there will be money to buy good food and a nice place for the kids to live. How nice."
Lin Dong spat, "With just the two hundred thousand you offer? You expect the kids to live in a good place? What can you buy in Jing City with two hundred thousand? A toilet?"
The sun was high up at noon, burning the skin slightly. Losing patience, Lao Biao gestured to his men, his words directed at Lin Dong, "Since you are so ungrateful, I’ll not be polite."
"This land is under my control; you just blatantly live here, constructing tents and even lighting fires—it’s intolerable. Guys, smash all these things and chase them away."
Lao Biao wanted to leave them homeless, unable to even sleep under bridges.
Seeing the situation, Lin Dong also hurriedly grabbed a wooden stick, watching them nervously. He had never fought before and wasn’t sure if he could overpower them, but he couldn’t back down now.
Behind him were more than a dozen children.
"Lao Biao! You will be punished!"
"Hahaha! Punished? I’m sick of hearing that, but where is my punishment? Still, it hasn’t come. Lin Dong, can’t you come up with something new?"
Chu Ge was already standing behind Lao Biao. Hearing Lao Biao’s boastful voice, he sneered disdainfully, "Your retribution is here."
The words were piercing, sending a chill down Lao Biao’s spine.
He turned around abruptly to see Chu Ge standing behind him, squinted his eyes, and grunted, "Who are you? Don’t tell me Lin Dong brought you as reinforcement?"
Chu Ge, appearing rather leisurely, retorted, "So what if he did?"
Undeterred by Chu Ge’s confidence, Lao Biao took a step back, almost stumbling.
"You guys, teach this ignorant brat a lesson first!"
Lao Biao instructed his minions, "Let him see that no matter how many helpers he brings, it’s useless!"
Lao Biao, having mixed in this area for years, knew the people and situations well. To date, no one dared confront him!
But Chu Ge stood there nonchalantly, not showing a hint of fear.
He casually smiled and said lightly, "If you’re all so confident, then come at me all at once."
Upon hearing this, Lao Biao burst out laughing, "All at once? That’s bold. Fine, I’ll indulge you! Guys, mind the strength of your blows; we don’t want to cause any fatalities."
He had lines he wouldn’t cross, such as not taking lives, but fearlessness in others could be a problem!
Lao Biao glanced back at Lin Dong, clicking his tongue, "Lin Dong, even if you need help, you should bring more than just one skinny guy. My men will heat up just warming up on him."
As Lao Biao’s voice faded, a series of wretched screams suddenly filled the air.
Lao Biao sensed something amiss, whirled around, and saw Chu Ge unscathed while his men lay on the ground, wailing.
Lao Biao’s heart skipped a beat. This person had knocked down four or five strong men in just a few seconds?
This was seriously hard for him to face.
"Who...who are you, exactly?" Lao Biao had never encountered someone so fierce and immediately became cautious around Chu Ge.
Chu Ge shrugged nonchalantly, "I’m the help Lin Dong brought."
Lao Biao swallowed, his voice trembling slightly, "I warn you, I have Boss Shao backing me! Do you even know Shao Gang?"
"Shao Gang?" Chu Ge chuckled lightly, "Heard of him."
"That’s good. He is a big deal in the Nangong Family. If you offend him, you won’t find peace in Jing City! He’ll make sure you can’t stay in Beijing!"
Lao Biao’s words were true; offending Shao Gang could indeed undermine one’s foothold in Jing City.
But unfortunately, he was dealing with Chu Ge.
Chu Ge’s face remained calm and unafraid, the corners of his lips curling into a faint smile as he spoke to Lao Biao, "I came specifically for Shao Gang! Alright, since you are no match for me, why don’t you call Shao Gang here?"
Lao Biao, sensing an old acquaintance vibe in Chu Ge’s words, silently swallowed and pointed at Chu Ge, "Fine! Wait here then! Don’t leave! I will call Boss Shao over!"
Once Shao Gang arrives, even with tremendous skills, this guy would have to surrender!
Lao Biao had witnessed Shao Gang’s true power. The orphanage building wasn’t demolished by any bulldozer; it was Shao Gang who directly used his True Qi to topple the building.
It was for this reason that Lao Biao had decisively decided to follow Shao Gang.
