Xu Zhi was about to vomit blood.
Chuanliu wasn't killed, Wu Fangming wasn't killed, and Qian Chuan inexplicably interfered.
Enraged, she lashed out at Lei Laojiu's men, yelling, "You bunch of useless trash! I really don't know what use Lei Laojiu would have sent you here for!"
The thugs, already resentful of Xu Zhi's schemes against them after hearing Chuan Liu's words, were now further provoked. "Xu Zhi, don't push your luck! We're under Lei Ge's orders, not yours!"
Seeing their posture, Xu Zhi's arrogance subsided considerably, and she warned:
"This is the City of Blocks, do you still want to lay a hand on me?!"
The leader snorted coldly at her and turned to leave with his men.
After Chuanliu and Wu Fangming escaped, they returned to the villa.
Wu Fangming was at his limit. The massive blood loss had made him pale, and he almost needed Chuanliu to support him as he walked.
Xiong Ajiao and Aunt Wu quickly came to greet them.
Chuanliu looked at the man who had already fainted, seemingly lost in thought.
Night fell, and Wu Fangming was still asleep. Avoiding everyone's gaze, she left the villa via a side path…
During the few days that Chuanliu disappeared, news spread like wildfire that Lei Laojiu had brought all his men to the City of Cubes.
Lei Laojiu's arrival alarmed everyone in the Cube City.
After all, a high-ranking official resident of Spade City entering the city with his main force is a serious threat to all residents of Block City.
The cooperation between Xu Zhi and Lei Laojiu collapsed due to the latter's sudden disappearance; and Xu Zhi also stopped his next move because he had no news of Chuanliu.
However, Lei Laojiu, who was still bedridden due to burns, was unaware that he had become a thorn in the side of almost all the residents of Block City.
Lei Laojiu was awake, but he was completely wrapped in gauze and couldn't move at all, looking exactly like a living mummy.
Feng Er guarded Lei Laojiu's door day and night. The "ghost fire" that Chuanliu unleashed that day had terrified him, and he still felt lingering fear. In his daily life, he would lead his men to beat people up in the City of Cubes to vent their anger.
A group of thugs involved in organized crime suddenly threw the lives of ordinary residents into chaos.
"Did you know, someone saw Lei Laojiu set the '5 of Diamonds' house on fire?"
"I know that! It's the bodyguard hired by 'Square 5'. He's a huge guy, covered in blood, really scary."
"Huh? He came here and even provoked '5 of Diamonds'?"
"Not only that, I also have inside information! I heard from my neighbor's third aunt's eldest cousin that he also wanted to harm Lord Xu! Fortunately, Brother Qian Liu arrived with a large group of people, which scared Lei Laojiu away."
"My God! He dares to mess with the '10 of Diamonds'?"
"Who told them to fight? Why have they been so quiet these past few days?"
"Who said there's no movement? Aren't his henchmen still smashing and looting?"
"I reckon Lei Laojiu is definitely brewing a shocking conspiracy!"
"..."
Complaints arose everywhere, and people even began to keep track of the whereabouts of Lei Laojiu's subordinates in real time.
Everyone was speculating about his purpose for arriving, and the entire city was thrown into a state of panic in an instant.
There are even rumors that the arrival of the "Nine of Spades" was for the purpose of annexing the City of Spades.
Finally, a few days later, the higher-ups in Block City made a move.
The higher-ups found the location where Lei Laojiu was recuperating and sent him an invitation, agreeing to meet at the Fangkuai Building the next day.
At this point, Lei Laojiu was able to get out of bed and walk. He dragged his body, which was panting every three steps and in excruciating pain every five, and led his men along.
Along the way, he was constantly bombarded with comments and disdainful looks. He frowned in displeasure and asked Feng Er, "What's wrong with these lowly people?"
Feng Er's eyes flickered, and he downplayed the issue, saying, "They must have been intimidated by your imposing figure."
Finally arriving at the Block Building, as the elevator doors opened, Lei Laojiu, who was going upstairs alone, saw Zhou Zheng, Liu Xingxing, Li Chengfeng, and Jin Rugo, four high-ranking members of Block City, sitting at a table, quietly waiting for him.
After a few polite greetings, the conversation got down to business.
Zhou smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Brother Lei, our Cube City always welcomes friends to visit, but this time you brought so many people and so many weapons, which puts us in a difficult position."
Lei Lao Jiu stubbornly retorted, "What, is it not allowed?"
Jin Rugo said in a kind tone, "You are already above ten thousand people in the City of Spades, so why pursue things that do not belong to you?"
Lei Lao Jiu thought they were talking about "10 of Spades," and he became furious and said:
"What I want to do is none of your business, right?"
Liu Xingxing slammed her hand on the table. "Lei Laojiu, what kind of attitude is this?!"
Zhou Zheng pressed down with his right hand and said regretfully to Lei Laojiu, "It's a pity that our Cube City is related to us."
Lei Laojiu retorted, "If you've come here today to interrogate me, let me tell you, I didn't do anything!"
Liu Xingxing didn't mince words with Lei Laojiu and said directly:
"You still dare to say you didn't do anything! Chuanliu went missing, wasn't that your doing? Qian Chuan led people to support Xu Zhi, wasn't that because of you?"
With both hats on his head, Lei Laojiu was completely dumbfounded.
His mind was blank, and all he could do was weakly retort, "What the hell does these two things have to do with me?"
Liu Xingxing said coldly, "Lei Laojiu, your Spade City prides itself on loyalty and integrity, yet you don't even dare to admit what you've done!"
