Despite being in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people sitting in front of him, Quan Yicheng remained calm.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
He wasn't stupid; he knew that for these people to dare to openly arrest him, given his status, they must be extraordinary individuals.
He roughly guessed who the other person was.
"Did you get Zhou Nian arrested?" Wu Laohu asked, puffing on a cigar and exhaling a smoke ring.
He was in his fifties, wearing a big woolen hat and a thick cotton coat. He was very tall and strong, and even though he was old, he still looked powerful and vigorous.
Especially his eyes, slightly cloudy yet gleaming with a sinister light, were particularly unsettling.
Upon hearing the name Zhou Nian, Quan Yicheng became even more certain of the other person's identity. He laughed and said, "I wondered who it was, but it turns out to be the famous Tiger Lord of Beijing."
Zhou Nian has a godfather who runs a black market business that spans the entire country and wields considerable influence.
He had a lot of information on Wu Laohu. This man had many crimes on his hands, and any one of them would be enough to make him suffer. However, the higher-ups had other considerations and could not take action against him for the time being.
“Zhou Nian is my godson, you know that?” Wu Laohu leaned back in his armchair and asked him.
With his hands and feet bound, Quan Yicheng simply sat on the ground, quite calmly, and said, "I know."
"You know that? You still dare to touch him?" Wu Laohu straightened up, pointing at Quan Yicheng with the finger holding a cigar. "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Quan Yicheng sneered, "He only has bad luck; he targeted the wrong person."
“The Chu family are big shots, and Old Master Chu is an old hero whom I, Wu Laohu, admire. But since you’ve stood up for the Chu family, you should also suffer the consequences for them.”
The Chu family held an extraordinary position, so he dared not touch them, but he would still dare to touch the dog that the Chu family kept in the whole city.
Wu Laohu waved his hand, and his henchmen immediately grabbed Quan Yicheng from the left and right.
Quan Yicheng laughed and said, "Tiger Lord wouldn't dare touch the Chu family. He only dares to touch me because I'm not surnamed Chu. But Tiger Lord, don't forget, you have to consider the owner before beating a dog."
"Why the hell do you talk so much?" Wu Laohu snapped. "I lost one of my godson's legs, cripple him!"
He refused to believe that the Chu family would bother with him over a dog!
"Yes!" Two henchmen pinned Quan Yicheng to the ground, while another man picked up a large hammer and walked towards Quan Yicheng.
“Godfather, he grew up in the Chu family. The Chu family values loyalty and righteousness. If we cripple him, the Chu family will definitely pursue the matter,” Lu Feng, another godson, advised.
Their line of work is inherently shady, with countless people watching them, both openly and secretly. This time, it was that kid Zhou Nian who caused trouble by messing with the wrong people, so he can't blame anyone else.
If his godfather offends the Chu family for his sake, he can forget about living peacefully in Beijing from now on.
Wu Laohu sneered, "If I, Wu Laohu, can't even protect my godson, how can I gain anyone's trust in the future? Lu Feng, if something happens to you and your godfather doesn't care about you, what would you think?"
"But……"
"No buts, I'm going to cripple this kid in Quan Yicheng today. Make the move!" Wu Laohu ordered.
The henchman carrying a hammer approached Quan Yicheng, raised the hammer, and was about to smash it down on Quan Yicheng's right leg.
Lu Feng panicked, "Godfather..."
Just then, the door was kicked open with great force, and a slender figure rushed in, kicking away the hammer that was about to fall.
With a loud bang, the hammer crashed to the ground, denting the floorboards.
Immediately afterwards, all three henchmen were kicked to the ground, howling in pain.
Lu Feng's eyes widened. "..." Where did this female warrior come from?
And she's so beautiful!
While Wu Laohu was still in shock, Li Xiyue had already pulled Quan Yicheng up and quickly untied his ropes.
"Are you alright?" Li Xiyue asked.
Quan Yicheng blinked rapidly, realizing that the person in front of him was indeed Li Xiyue. He couldn't believe it, so he rubbed his eyes again, but she hadn't changed. He was shocked. "Sister-in-law?"
Is the person in front of me still that sister-in-law who gets tired after walking just a few steps and is so weak and frail?
