Chapter 50: [047] Saving Lives

"Hey, it’s me, Ye Yuanpei’s friend. What did you guys do to him? Even if the negotiation fails, you have to give me an explanation!"

"We have money! We have money, and it’s not like we can’t pay it."

"Fine, have your people come pick me up. I’ll bring the money with my friend to find you... I can only go alone? What kind of nonsense rule is that."

"Fine, alone it is."

...

Lin Haitao hurriedly made a phone call on the side, and after hanging up, he walked over to Wang Longhu and asked, "Longhu, can you ride a motorcycle?"

"Yes, I can. What’s up?" Wang Longhu nodded in response.

"The gang there is quite crafty. They’re only allowing me to go negotiate alone. So, I’m wondering if you can ride a motorcycle and follow in secret, so it’s convenient to take action when needed."

"Alright, give me the keys. Where will they pick you up? I’ll hide and keep a watch from the dark." Wang Longhu readily agreed.

Once the best of friends, now reaching such a dire situation, Wang Longhu saw it all and felt very uneasy at heart.

If he could help, he would do everything in his power to get these two back on the right track in life.

Riding the elevator with Lin Haitao to the underground garage, when they reached a Ninja650, Lin Haitao handed the keys and helmet to Wang Longhu, "It’s this one. Get familiar with it and wait at the entrance of the neighborhood. Once you see which car I get into, just follow quietly."

"You people really know how to spend. You have a car and still bought a motorcycle. I saw this bike on Douyin, it goes for tens of thousands." Wang Longhu took the keys, admiringly stroking the Ninja650.

As a Kawasaki 650cc motorcycle, its design is really cool. Even someone not fond of motorcycles would feel a bit of joy seeing it.

"Spent money recklessly before with no limit. Would buy anything I fancied without thought. Now I don’t want to maintain it and was just looking for a second-hand dealer to sell it off." Lin Haitao patted Wang Longhu’s shoulder, "Enough chit-chat, I’ll wait at the neighborhood entrance. Hurry up, this time it’s all on you, Longhu."

Watching Lin Haitao’s departing figure, Wang Longhu put on the helmet and immediately began familiarizing himself with every aspect of the motorcycle.

He had had his motorcycle license for three to four years. Initially a bit rusty, but with the ability of a young person to quickly learn, Wang Longhu soon started it and drove out of the underground garage.

At this moment, Lin Haitao stood by the roadside at the neighborhood entrance, anxiously waiting while smoking a cigarette.

Wang Longhu parked the bike in a hidden corner, keeping a discreet watch on the other party.

About twenty minutes later, a black MPV stopped in front of Lin Haitao. As the door opened, Lin Haitao hesitated for a moment before clenching his teeth and stepping inside.

Seeing the MPV take off with the people, Wang Longhu lowered the visor of his helmet, started the motorcycle, and followed them.

The MPV drove out of Dong County’s main island, then along the cross-sea bridge, passed three islands, and finally stopped at a roadside repair shop.

Two heavyset men in suits with silver chains stepped out of the car, dragging a hooded Lin Haitao inside the repair shop.

Wang Longhu parked the motorcycle over two hundred meters away from the repair shop. He didn’t remove his helmet and directly walked towards it.

Although Wang Longhu was now a Ming Jin master, due to a short training period, he had not yet shifted his mindset from that of an ordinary person.

Facing situations like these, straight out of a TV drama, Wang Longhu was still somewhat nervous. Operating with a helmet on helped ease emotions and prevented others from seeing his face.

Unaware of the situation inside the repair shop, to ensure the safety of Lin Haitao and Ye Yuanpei, he couldn’t just charge in from the front.

Wang Longhu therefore went to the rear door of the repair shop, bounced on both feet, and with several kicks on the peeling paint concrete wall, he leapt over the obstacle with great agility.

Since his Lightweight Skill had reached Lv3, this height was now no different from level ground for Wang Longhu. If he used both hands and feet, he could even climb a ten-plus meter residential building bare-handed.

"This place stinks." As soon as he landed, Wang Longhu couldn’t help but complain to himself. The ground around the repair shop’s back door was covered with gravel and weeds, and the air was thick with a rancid smell of urine. Evidently, people frequently used this place as a toilet.

Just as he was about to head towards the workshop, a low, growling noise caught Wang Longhu’s attention.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a drooling Cane Corso lying on the ground not far away, staring at him.

The Cane Corso is a dog that only shows loyalty to its owner. If used for guarding, as long as its owner isn’t present, it will attack any unfamiliar intruder.

The moment he saw the dog, Wang Longhu knew it was bad news. If it started barking, his stealth would be compromised. At once, he sprang forward like a tiger descending a mountain.

With a leap of three to four meters, he reached it in mere moments, caught the Cane Corso’s neck with one arm before it could bark, picked up its entire body, and hurled it over the repair shop’s wall.

Without the interference of the guard dog, Wang Longhu pushed open a rusty iron door in the backyard and snuck in quietly.

Passing through a narrow passage filled with junk tires and car parts, Wang Longhu soon heard a tense conversation.

"It’s just about paying back money. We can pay, but why beat someone up like this? He’s not the one who took your money."

"Cut the crap. He said he’s Jin Zhihao’s cousin. Family or not, the money’s all the same. Here’s the deal: If I don’t see the fifty thousand today, none of you will leave. Jin Zhihao, didn’t I warn you about the risks of taking the stake and opening your own game?"

"I’m sorry, President Chen, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Give me a few days, and I’ll get the fifty thousand together for you."

"You think I don’t know you? If you had fifty thousand, you wouldn’t have waited until now."

Following the source of the voices, Wang Longhu stealthily made his way over, finally hiding behind an iron door and peeking at the situation outside.

In a spacious workshop with four broken Japanese cars hoisted up, Lin Haitao was being restrained by two people, shouting towards a bald, heavyset man sitting on a sofa not far away.

The bald fat man, dressed in Givenchy and wearing a chain-shaped gold necklace, sat lounged on the sofa giving off an intimidating aura.

Beside the sofa, a battered blonde youth was curled up inside a dog cage. Even when questioned by the fat man, he struggled to lift his head to respond.

"One, two, three, four..." From his hiding spot, Wang Longhu began counting the number of people in the workshop.

Though he wasn’t worried about fighting with ordinary people, this group looked like dangerous individuals who might carry concealed weapons. Wang Longhu had never confronted such a crowd and needed to be extra cautious.

Otherwise, after painstakingly training to become a Ming Jin master, it would be more unbearable than eating crap to end up here today.

"Who are you?!"

Just as Wang Longhu reached the ninth person, a shout suddenly erupted behind him.

Reflexively looking back, he saw a burly man wearing a stained apron and holding a wrench, glaring menacingly at him.

Without any further words, the man swung the wrench directly at Wang Longhu.
