Lin Youcai quickly headed to the location mentioned by his old friend, sneering to himself, "I'll see just who this guy is who dares to scheme against me!"
Lin Youcai immediately led his men to the location his old friend had mentioned, arriving at a secluded little tavern.
A drunken thug was being held tightly by his old friend's men. The thug looked pathetic, but he kept muttering to himself, "I'm not afraid of him... Anyone who dares to mess with my boss, I'll wipe out their ancestors..."
When his old friend saw Lin Youcai arrive, he quickly went to greet him: "Old Lin, you're here. This kid just got drunk and started bragging about beating up a rich man's son to make a name for himself or something. I could tell from his tone that he was one of the guys who beat up your son last time, so I had someone take him down first. Look, isn't that the same group of people?"
Lin Youcai glared at the thug, his eyes turning cold: "Still bragging even when you're drunk? Looks like you've got some nerve!"
The slovenly man raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion, and suddenly trembled when he met Lin Youcai's gaze.
He seemed to realize that the person in front of him was not simple, and he immediately stopped rambling.
Seeing his bewildered look, Lin Youcai sneered: "I'm asking you, have you beaten up a rich kid recently?"
Although the hoodlum's mind was still a bit muddled, upon hearing Lin Youcai's question, he suddenly realized that he had gotten himself into trouble.
His habit of speaking recklessly after drinking led him to run into the wrong person this time.
The thug quickly denied it: "Beat up a rich kid? How dare I... I'm just a small-time thug, I wouldn't dare mess with someone like a tycoon..."
Lin Youcai snorted, his eyes fierce: "Weren't you the one who was just bragging here, saying you'd beat up a rich man's son to gain merit?"
The thug, caught off guard by the questioning, stammered, "I...I did speak a bit recklessly just now, but everything I said was nonsense...How could I dare to beat up a rich man..."
A cold glint flashed in Lin Youcai's eyes as he turned to his old friend: "Looks like he's a braggart. Take him back, and I'll have someone 'take good care' of him for a few days."
The old friend immediately nodded and signaled his men to take the thug away.
The thug was deathly pale when he was taken away. He finally realized the enormity of his troubles, but it was too late.
His habit of talking nonsense in his daily life has gotten him into trouble this time, putting him in a dead end.
Although Lin Youcai didn't get any useful information from the thugs, he had already identified someone he could target.
If his men hold this thug hostage for several days and interrogate him using every method imaginable, they'll eventually get some information about that group.
Lin Youcai's eyes were sinister. This thug was clearly connected to those who dared to mess with the Lin family, otherwise he wouldn't have boasted after drinking that he would beat up the rich man's son.
Lin Youcai clenched his fists, thinking to himself: I'll find you out!
This time, Lin Youcai decided to find out who had done the trick and settle the score with them!
Chang Jing was sitting in his own milk tea shop, leisurely sipping a steaming cup of milk tea. Several high school students who had just finished school were sitting at some of the tables, chatting and laughing.
This peaceful and pleasant atmosphere was abruptly interrupted the moment Scarface hurriedly walked into the store.
Chang Jing looked up at the door and saw Scarface with an anxious and regretful expression. It was clear that something serious had happened.
Chang Jing put down his milk tea, gave Scarface a look, and the two of them immediately got up and walked to a secluded corner outside the store.
"Brother Chang, something big has happened!" Scarface immediately revealed the source of his recent anxiety: "Do you remember the time we organized a group to beat up Lin Xiangfu?"
Chang Jing nodded, signaling him to continue.
Scarface nervously swallowed before continuing, "One of his men, a few days ago, got drunk and started talking recklessly in the tavern, bragging about what happened last time. As a result, he was spotted by the Lin family across the street and was arrested!"
Chang Jing frowned upon hearing this. He had warned Scarface to strictly control his men's tongues, but things still went wrong, and now they'd gotten into big trouble.
Scarface said with a look of remorse, "Brother Chang, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have kept those quick-witted men around. This time, we fell into their trap. It's really my fault for not managing them properly. You must punish me!"
Chang Jing sighed helplessly. Blaming others now would not help. The most important thing was to find a way to resolve the current crisis.
Now that a weakness has been exposed, his subordinates will surely reveal Scarface once they are subjected to severe torture.
Chang Jing first comforted Scarface: "This is not your fault. I didn't expect my subordinate to brag like that either."
Then, Chang Jing began to think about how to deal with this passive situation.
Chang Jing pondered for a moment, then said to Scarface, "Go back as soon as possible, find the men who fought with you before, and tell them to keep quiet. Then find a secluded place to hide. In case anyone else gets caught and reveals more information."
Scarface nodded quickly: "Yes, I'll go and order someone to keep quiet right away. Brother Chang, what should we do now?"
Chang Jing's eyes narrowed slightly: "Given the other party's methods, it's only a matter of time before they get anything out of that kid. We must strike first and devise a countermeasure."
Upon hearing that the other party was also going to make a move, Scarface nervously asked, "What's the plan? Brother Chang, what are your thoughts?"
Chang Jing calmly said, "Don't worry, it will take time for them to find out what they want. I will try to divert their attention during this time. You just need to keep an eye on your subordinates and make sure nothing else goes wrong."
Scarface nodded quickly: "Okay, then. I will definitely discipline him strictly and there will never be another incident where Brother Chang is harmed!"
Then, with some concern, he said, "I can take the brothers to hide, but what about you, Brother Chang? And this milk tea shop..."
Chang Jing smiled and reassured him, "You don't need to worry about me. After all, as long as you're safe, they won't be able to trace it back to me. As for the milk tea shop business, I'll handle it."
Chang Jing nodded and watched Scarface leave in a hurry.
Only after Scarface left did Chang Jing's brows gradually relax.
Although he was somewhat annoyed by the big mouth of Scarface's men, now was not the time to blame them; the most important thing was to find a way to defuse the crisis.
Chang Jing sighed helplessly, but it was no easy task for the other party to get the information out of that kid within a limited time.
If we can divert their attention and draw their focus elsewhere, there is a chance to turn things around.
Chang Jing calmly took a sip of milk tea, his eyes gradually sharpening.
It seems I'll have to deal with those underworld figures again this time.
However, Chang Jing was well-prepared. Although his opponents were strong, he had several countermeasures in mind and was always able to turn danger into safety.
The power struggle in this covert battle seems to be about to resume.
