"Why bother with him? When that man comes, just hit him in the vital parts. The boss said that as long as we can kill him, we can all be promoted." A tough voice sounded.
"Shh, keep your voice down. If we alert the enemy and scare him away, we will all be in trouble." Someone else said.
Zheng Yubai listened carefully and found that there were five or six people hiding in the fire escape around a corner. From what they said, it seemed that they were the ambush arranged by Fang Hongjin, waiting for his arrival.
The mantis tried to catch the cicada, but was bitten by the cicada instead. Zheng Yubai laughed inwardly. He tiptoed around the corner and saw six big men crowded in the narrow passage, looking out nervously through the crack in the door.
These people were all facing outwards, with their buttocks facing inwards, completely unaware that someone was coming behind them. Since Zheng Yubai knew that they were all enemies, he didn't need to be polite. He came behind the last person, reached out his hand, and pressed the acupuncture point on the back of his neck with his thumb. The man didn't say a word and immediately collapsed.
Zheng Yubai hugged him around the waist, still without making any sound, and slowly put him to the ground, then approached the second one. His move of knocking people out was similar to the acupuncture in martial arts novels, but not as magical as described in the novels. He did it in the same way, knocking down five people in a row. The big man who was watching the movement through the crack of the door was still hesitant, muttering: "I say you guys should be alert, that person may appear at any time."
Zheng Yubai came up behind him, unable to help but want to laugh, and patted him on the shoulder. The man turned around and was stunned to see a stranger. In this moment of daze, Zheng Yubai's hands shook, one hand pressed the acupuncture point on the back of his neck, and the other hand covered his mouth.
The man was terrified and wanted to struggle, but Zheng Yubai had grasped the nerve center on his neck. Although he was thinking, his body could not move. In horror, he was dragged into the depths of the passage by Zheng Yubai.
"You... who are you?" Zheng Yubai loosened his hand. Although the big man was able to move, his brain was dizzy due to lack of blood supply. He couldn't even stand up, let alone take action or call for help.
"I am the person you plan to ambush." Zheng Yubai said.
The big man groaned like a dead fish and asked with a sad face, "Why are you here?"
"You're meddling too much. Now I'm going to ask you a question. If I'm not satisfied with your answer, I'll throw you out of that door." Zheng Yubai pointed threateningly at the fire escape exit behind him.
No matter how dumb the big man was, he knew that this was the 26th floor. As long as he wasn't a Superman wearing his underwear outside, the only result of being thrown out would be turning into a meat pie. So he immediately nodded like a woodpecker and said, "Ask me, I'll tell you everything I know."
"How many people do you have in ambush? Where is Fang Hongjin?" Zheng Yubai asked directly.
"We... have more than 40 people, all good fighters..." Zheng Yubai laughed secretly at the big man's words. If these people were also considered good fighters, there would be too many good fighters in the world. In his whole life, excluding those with super powers like Zhang Daosheng and Yang Feiyan, Zheng Yubai had seen no more than ten good fighters. Among them were Yang Huting, Fang Hongjin and others whom he had met in recent days. Even K and V were nothing in his eyes, not to mention these stupid, big and strong trash with only a little strength.
"Where's Fang Hongjin?" If they were all so-called "good fighters" of this level, but without guns, Zheng Yubai would not care about forty people. But if Fang Hongjin was also there, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.
"He's gone. Let's call him after we kill you." The big man said tremblingly.
Zheng Yubai frowned. Fang Hongjin was indeed a cunning guy. He probably knew that these forty people could not do anything to him, so he fled early.
Once a fox escapes, it will not come back until it is absolutely safe. Zheng Yubai didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with him. He thought for a moment and said to the trembling man in front of him, "Tell Fang Hongjin that I came to visit him. If he wants to play, I will accompany him to the end. Just don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes."
The big man nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I will definitely convey your message."
Zheng Yubai's hand flickered out like lightning, and his thumb pressed on the big man's temple. The big man fell to the ground with a thud and fainted. Zheng Yubai dodged out of the emergency door and returned along the fire escape.
Half an hour later, the big man gradually woke up. He looked around and saw the half-closed security door. He jumped up as if startled, rushed out of the fire escape, and shouted loudly: "Don't ambush, everyone is gone!"
On the surface, Zheng Yubai's surprise attack, which was a counter-attack, had worked. At least the news from Caoji showed that the people from Sanjianghui had suddenly disappeared. Even the news program in Jinghai reported that the motorcycle gang that had been harassing the people's peace had not appeared recently. And Tang Qing also called Zheng Yubai to ask about Fang Hongjin's whereabouts, which was unusual.
Could it be that Fang Hongjin was planning to sit back and watch the fight? Zheng Yubai pondered secretly. Although the days seemed to be much calmer, he did not dare to let down his guard. A man like Fang Hongjin was like a mad dog. If you let down your guard against him, you don't know when he would jump up and bite you. There was only one way to deal with a mad dog, that was to be crazier than him and beat him to death with a stick before he opened his mouth.
"Speaking of which, Brother Yubai seems to have become a different person after this God of Gamblers competition." Hei Pi gulped down a large glass of white wine, wiped his mouth and said.
Caoji, Shanmao, Heipi, Donggua and Zheng Yubai sat in a small shop, gathered around a hot pot, eating shabu-shabu mutton and drinking warmed white wine. Zheng Yubai had only been back for less than a week when the temperature in Jinghai dropped sharply. Snowflakes were already falling outside. Eating a warm hot pot on such a day was a real pleasure.
"Really?" Zheng Yubai laughed.
"That's right. I remember that Brother Yubai always used to smile and seemed to have no temper at all. But last time when he beat up those thugs from Sanjiang Society, he was really ruthless." Donggua also said.
Zheng Yubai scratched his head and smiled slightly: "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. This time they bullied me, so I got a little angry and hit them harder."
"You're better off like this." Shanmao patted Zheng Yubai's shoulder, "Come, have a drink. If the Sanjiang Society dares to cause trouble again, we brothers will wipe him out together."
"Cheers." Several people raised their glasses, and the glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound. As the liquor went down their throats, in this cold winter, people felt a warmth spreading throughout their bodies from the bottom of their hearts.
For several days, Zheng Yubai's life seemed to have returned to normal. The people from the Sanjiang Society disappeared, and Yao Qian was nowhere to be found. If it weren't for the breakfast Xu Jin made for him every morning when he got home from get off work, Zheng Yubai would have suspected that the God of Gamblers Tournament and the bet on his life were just a dream.
"What a hassle..." Sitting on the bus on the way home, Zheng Yubai looked at the snow on the fields outside the city, and hated Du Bisheng for messing up his life. The old man was so good, sleeping 24 hours a day in the hospital, but he had to face the terrifying existence of Gao Fei three months later.
"When you wake up, I will definitely teach you a lesson." Zheng Yubai thought depressedly.
The bus arrived at the station soon. Zheng Yubai said hello to the security guard at the door and walked back home.
As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Yubai heard Yu Luo's voice coming from the living room.
"Brother Yubai, come quickly."
"What's going on?" Zheng Yubai wondered what new breakfast the girl had come up with. The "creamy egg drop hibiscus soup" she had last time was too unpalatable.
When Zheng Yubai came to the living room, he was stunned. Yu Luo and Xu Jin were looking at him with smiles. Between them, a middle-aged man was sitting upright on the sofa, looking at him with sharp eyes.
"Hello, Uncle Xu." Zheng Yubai smiled and walked over.
King of Thieves Xu Ruoyu, I guessed that the person Xu Jin was talking about was you. (To be continued)
