When Murong Jie shouted, Lin Lidong rushed out instantly, taking five meters at a time and chasing the child for half a street. At the last moment when the child was about to enter the slum house, he pulled the child out by the feet.
Murong Jie followed closely behind and saw at a glance the stack of US dollars tightly held in the boy's arms!
That was the recent activity fund given by Youtianfu. The amount was not small. If it was lost, it would be a big loss.
After forcibly snatching the US dollars back, Murong Jie glared at the child and gave him a few words of instruction, but the child did not seem to be Chinese. He mumbled something in response, and his big black eyes were still staring at the US dollars greedily.
It was just a child, and the two men didn't want to make things difficult for him. Lin Lidong let go of his hand, and the child turned around and ran into the slum like a little mouse that had been freed, then yelled a few times at the top of his voice.
The hoarse roar echoed throughout the slum, as if it were some kind of signal or notification.
Murong Jie suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly put away the US dollars and winked at Lin Lidong: "Dongzi, hurry up!"
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, but when he looked up, he found that there were already more than a dozen people standing densely on the retreat path behind them. They were of different heights and shapes, but the greed in their eyes was exactly the same as that of the child just now!
At this moment, they were already deep in the slums. If they wanted to leave, they had to cross the street in front of them, but more and more people had come out, weapons in their hands, murderous looks on their faces, approaching the two step by step!
Murong Jie forced a smile and shouted, "You... who is your boss? Come out and talk. We have no ill intentions, we just want to..."
Before he could finish his words, a wine bottle was thrown from the side. Lin Lidong pulled Murong Jie back, and the wine bottle flew past their faces and hit the opposite wall and shattered into pieces.
The one who threw the bottle was the same kid from before. He stood in front of the crowd, holding a wooden board in his hand. His face lost its childishness and instead had a fierce look. When he spoke, his voice was exceptionally mature:
"Fuck you! You stole money from me! You want to die! If you know what's good for you, hand over the money, kneel on the ground and kowtow three times, then call me grandpa, and I'll let you leave safely!"
Murong Jie glared and exclaimed in surprise, "Damn, this isn't a child, it's a dwarf!"
Lin Lidong's eyes widened. He took a cigarette from his pocket, tore open the package, and poured the tobacco into his mouth. He chewed it while raising his eyelids. He ignored the many figures around him and stared straight at the dwarf: "Say it again, who do you want to kneel down?"
The dwarf raised the wooden board in his hand and pointed it forward: "Grandpa is talking to you! I told you to kneel down! If you don't kneel, I will beat you until you kneel down!"
The atmosphere was tense, and Murong Jie's face was filled with worry. He wasn't afraid of the dwarf or the small fry before him, but rather of Lin Lidong's behavior while he was eating tobacco.
Those who knew Lin Lidong well knew that what he ate wasn't tobacco, but human life! Whenever he felt murderous intent, he would take a mouthful of tobacco, letting the pungent flavor fill his head and lungs!
The purpose of the two men's trip was to investigate the enemy of Bucktooth Zhang and search for suitable candidates to complete the subsequent plan. However, these thugs in the slums have set up their own base and have been struggling and confronting the forces in the south of the city. The person they are looking for may be among them.
Once a conflict arises with them, it means you have a group of more enemies. It will be extremely difficult to kill someone with a borrowed knife at that time.
Murong Jie was still pondering whether he should spend the money to avoid disaster and use these US dollars to make friends with the other party, but Lin Lidong had already rushed forward!
There was a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, and both of them were in danger. The dwarf was confident of victory and had never expected that Lin Lidong would take the initiative to attack. He was stunned and by the time he reacted, Lin Lidong had already come close to him, grabbed the wooden board he was holding in the air, and split it into two pieces with a snap!
The dwarf stood in front of him and watched helplessly. The broken wooden boards covered his body with foam. His dark face turned pale with fright. He turned around to run, but Lin Lidong grabbed his neck, pulled him back and pushed him down, and he fell face down to the ground!
Lin Lidong pinched his neck and knocked him to the ground again and again, asking as he did so: "Do you like to kowtow? Do you like it? Do you like it!..."
At the same time, the thugs around also reacted and rushed forward shouting in chaos.
Since the fight had already started, Murong Jie put away the smile on his face and sighed slightly: "You idiot, I will never take you out again!" Then he picked up a tattered mop with only a few strips of cloth left from the side, gritted his teeth, glared, and rushed into the battlefield!
The dwarf was pinched by Li Lidong and slapped on the ground in the face again and again. His forehead, nose and mouth were all injured. His whole face was covered in blood and his original appearance could no longer be recognized.
It was not until a dozen people from a distance rushed over that Lin Lidong let go, picked up the wooden board that was broken into two pieces, and started hitting it left and right!
When it comes to fighting, Lin Lidong is indeed fierce and ruthless, but in the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person. It is impossible for him to win if he rushes into the encirclement of more than a dozen people alone.
There are people everywhere, punching and kicking from here, and hitting with sticks from behind, there is no way to cope with it!
Lin Lidong's eyes were red as he pointed the broken end of the wooden board outwards and stabbed anyone he saw without holding back.
In fact, these people around him are not real gangsters at all. They live in such harsh conditions in the slums, with poor food and insufficient nutrition. Most of them are skinny. They can join in the fight, but in a real face-to-face fight, few can beat Lin Lidong.
Murong Jie took turns holding the mop and joined him. The two of them worked together to tear a gap in the crowd. Just as they were about to rush out, a tattooed strong man suddenly rushed out from the side. Seeing the dwarf lying on the ground with blood all over his face, he became furious and picked up a steel pipe from the ground and swung it horizontally!
It was a solid piece of steel pipe, as thick as a wrist and six or seven meters long! Although it was hollow in the middle, it still carried enough weight that a normal person would have to exert some strength to lift it, let alone swing it casually.
In the sturdy man's hands, the steel pipe was dancing like foam, making a whirring sound, and it swept across from behind and hit Lin Lidong on the back!
Lin Lidong almost flew out. Although he fell to the ground and jumped up immediately, his whole body couldn't help shaking secretly!
Murong Jie quickly rushed over to him, frowning and asking, "How are you? Are you okay? We can't stay here for long. Let's rush out together!"
Lin Lidong nodded and shouted, "Okay!"
Then he clenched his fists and looked towards the street exit, only to find that more people were gathering in the distance and running over to support him.
Those people were holding shining knives in their hands, and they rushed forward like crazy!
Seeing this, the two men looked at each other, no one said anything, but they knew in their hearts that they had to fight to the death today!
