Ten minutes later, Huang Daxiong's assets were completely acquired by the Li Family for seventy billion yuan.

Huang Daxiong took the bank card handed to him by Li Yue, waved his hand arrogantly, and said, "Let's go!"

"Honey, where are we going?"

"K-78 Highway. The mysterious big shot came from there, so there's a high probability he'll leave from there too. We just need to stake out and have a good chance of catching him."

Huang Daxiong's analysis was not unreasonable, and everyone present acknowledged it, getting up together to head back to the K-78 Highway.

The act of staking out can be somewhat foolish, but for now, it's indeed the most efficient option!

It's impossible to conduct a city-wide search in Binhai City to find the mysterious big shot, right?

Not to mention provoking the big shot's anger, the probability of finding him is almost zero, like finding a needle in a haystack!

"Ye Huan, what I said today will likely reach your ears."

"You'll be angry, but then, you'll have no choice but to be angry!"

"I have the mysterious big shot's protection, so what can you do to me? Haha!"

Huang Daxiong laughed arrogantly in his heart, his beer belly sticking out.

Meanwhile.

Binhai City, Eastern Dock.

The night wind was chilly, and the waves crashed against the shore, splashing violently.

"Wu Laogou, regardless of who's behind you, today you must tell Ye Shao the specifics, or I, Chen Fangzhou, will not let you off easily."

Though Ye Huan had said he would personally come to Binhai, Chen Fangzhou still came over.

Chen Fangzhou's role as the head of the Eastern Territory branch of the Chen Family intelligence agency showed his astuteness; he wouldn't miss any chance to gain favor in the eyes of the big shot.

At this moment, he was sitting with Ye Huan on a container.

Across from them, separated by a table, was a middle-aged man with a naked torso and a large frame, continuously peeling shrimp and eating peanuts, drinking beer, looking troubled as he smacked his lips twice and said, "Chen Shao, it's not that I don't want to tell Ye Shao. I also want to help Ye Shao and appease him. It's just... my current sponsor is extraordinary, with a significant background."

"He sternly warned me to keep it confidential, or he'd take my head off."

"I want to befriend Ye Shao, but I want to save my life even more."

"There's nothing I can do; I really can't tell."

Wu Laogou said helplessly, but his demeanor showed no signs of helplessness: "Of course, that big shot also said that if anyone forcibly tries to inquire, no matter who it is, I have the right to retaliate in any form. He'll support me and back me up."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred fierce-looking, rifle-wielding thugs surrounding the container chambered their rifles and aimed at Ye Huan and Chen Fangzhou.

Chen Fangzhou tried to maintain a calm exterior but instinctively panicked. He had gathered a lot of intel on Wu Laogou before and knew this guy was an ultimate tough character.

Wu Laogou dropped out of school at eighteen, mixing on the streets; he joined the then-thriving Silver Dragon Association in Binhai during his first year on the road. In a fight, he demonstrated brutal means, killing eight top executives of a rival faction with one slash, gaining the favor of the Silver Dragon Association's president, and being promoted to the head of one of the halls.

Later, his prowess grew, cutting down rivals effortlessly, earning great contributions for the Silver Dragon Association, and ultimately killing the former president to seize the top position!

Then, when the Silver Dragon Association faced an official crackdown and weakened considerably, Wu Laogou led his men to occupy the Eastern Dock, dealing in gray businesses related to smuggling and occasionally leading people to collect protection fees in the city at night.

Over the past decade, he and his subordinates made a lot of money, committing numerous atrocities, executing anyone who made him displeased during negotiations.

It can be said that Wu Laogou and his thug entourage were battle-hardened, death-defying, sinister, and ruthless characters.

In this world, there's no one they wouldn't dare to kill.

Being pointed at with guns by these men, Chen Fangzhou was scared out of his wits, enduring immense pressure, believing these thugs would indeed dare to shoot!

Contrasting Chen Fangzhou's shock, Ye Huan remained exceptionally calm, seemingly unfazed by these hundred or so guns.

"The one you helped with was Asura of the Empire?" Ye Huan's voice was icy. He had no goodwill towards Wu Laogou and those roaming in gray areas, using violence to bully ordinary people.

"Ye Shao, I've already said."

"I can't disclose any information related to this matter to you."

"Honestly, the big shot sponsor of mine sent three top-tier ancient martial arts experts to secretly monitor me."

"If I dare reveal anything, they'll show up; then... my life will be in danger."

Wu Laogou slapped his lips earnestly.

Despite saying this, his expression showed no signs of panic.

It was obviously a facade.

Ye Huan's gaze grew cold as he said in a chilling tone, "What if I insist on knowing some secrets related to this matter?"

"Then Ye Shao, Chen Shao, I'm sorry, you might not make it out of here today." Huang Laogou's mouth twisted, revealing unsightly yellow teeth, "Ye Huan, don't blame me for not warning you. You and Chen Fangzhou have time to leave now, otherwise, soon enough, you won't be able to leave at all. Personally, I wouldn't mind taking both your lives. Moreover, eliminating you, staining my knife with your blood, would actually be my honor!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Ye Huan sneered, his eyes suddenly flashing danger. He slammed the table in front of him into splinters, sending peanuts and shrimp scattering onto the container!

Then he grabbed a long plank that broke from the table and slammed it toward Wu Laogou's forehead!

Wu Laogou was caught off guard, his head split open, and he screamed in agony!

But he reacted quickly, covering his bleeding forehead, his legs kicked, falling off the container to dodge Ye Huan's second attack!

He pointed upward at Ye Huan and Chen Fangzhou, cursing viciously, "Shoot them, take them down!"

"Yes!!!"

The thugs responded fiercely, pulling the trigger!

"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!"

From all directions, over a hundred rifles spat fire serpents directed at Ye Huan and Chen Fangzhou!

Chen Fangzhou turned pale with fear!

Ye Huan, though, was like a War God, his right hand moved, grabbing all the scattered peanuts, and then rapidly threw them out, faster than the naked eye could catch!

Each peanut intercepted a bullet's assault!

Such precision was astonishing!

Blocking the first wave of attack, Ye Huan leaped, jumping off the container, and shouted loudly, "Get down!"

Chen Fangzhou had no time to think, following Ye Huan's order, he hugged his head and lay down on the container!

Then he understood Ye Huan's intent!

Ye Huan suddenly jumped off the container; without a doubt, he would immediately attract the thugs' attention!

The thugs would promptly turn their guns on Ye Huan, rendering Chen Fangzhou temporarily safe.

It meant Ye Huan could shake off baggage and freely deal with these thugs.

Chen Fangzhou was clever, and Ye Huan indeed had this idea!

Only by ensuring Chen Fangzhou's safety could he free his hands to take down these armed thugs!

Ye Huan swiftly moved, darting into the "maze" formed by a group of nearby containers.

"Pursue!"

The thugs, with sinister expressions, shouldered their guns and chased after him.

Little did they know, this would be the most ridiculous decision they made in their lives!
