The moment Yu Youwei finished speaking, I immediately realized why Luo Qiwen had so readily admitted defeat after her cheating was exposed last time.
It turned out to be the same as last time, she had a backup plan prepared in advance.
And this time, her backup plan was even more outrageous.
She completely turned her back on us!
Damn it! She never intended to leave us any way out!
Before the call even ended, I immediately shouted to everyone on Rui Chi's side, as well as Gu Chunlai, "Run!!!"
The moment I finished speaking, I grabbed the chair I was sitting on and smashed it into the group of bodyguards behind me, creating a small opening for escape.
Without any unnecessary words or actions, I had Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun lead the Rui Chi group and follow me towards the exit of the main hall.
But unfortunately, as soon as I led everyone out of the VIP gambling hall and reached the entrance on the first floor, I discovered that the door… was already locked!
Not only that, but on both sides of the main door, a dense crowd of bouncers stood guard, all glaring at us with fierce expressions.
Seeing this, I immediately understood why Luo Qiwen hadn't reacted at all when I made the first move.
It was clear that these people had already blocked the main entrance before we even entered the gambling hall to start the game.
Regardless of whether she won or lost, Luo Qiwen had no intention of leaving us a way out!
From beginning to end, this woman's plan was: to eliminate us completely!!!
While my mind was racing to figure out a way out, Luo Qiwen, along with the people from the VIP gambling hall, slowly walked over.
As soon as they emerged, I heard Xiang Tianhua yell arrogantly, "You little bastard! You run pretty fast, huh?"
"Later, I'll break both your legs first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of nearly a hundred people, front and back, completely surrounded our group of twenty-odd people.
It seemed like a bloody battle was inevitable.
To be honest, I didn't feel scared by this. On the contrary, my mind was still constantly thinking of a way to break through the situation.
Even though tonight's situation looked like a complete dead end, as long as the person setting the trap wasn't dead, there was still a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough!
After looking around, I immediately lowered my voice and whispered into Cheng Minglang's ear, "To catch the bandit, first catch the king! Later, your job is to grab Luo Qiwen!"
"This is not like last time! Tonight, we are truly surrounded and outnumbered! And on their turf at that!"
"Only by subduing Luo Qiwen can we all survive!"
Although I considered myself to have improved considerably, for a high-difficulty operation like capturing the enemy general amidst thousands of troops, it was better to leave it to the professionals.
After speaking with Cheng Minglang, I put my hands into my pockets, ready to reveal my weapons.
Since the last close-quarters combat incident, I had specially commissioned a full set of steel plates.
However, due to the considerable weight of the entire set of steel plates, I hadn't brought them all with me.
In total, I had twenty-four steel plates hidden in my pockets!
...
After surrounding us, Luo Qiwen, just like last time, didn't rashly approach us but stood far behind the crowd.
Instead, Xiang Tianhua, whose presence had been rather low-key before, now swaggered forward like a tough guy, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
"Ptooey..."
Spitting out the cigarette from his mouth, he shook his neck as if he had just taken a drag, making a series of cracking sounds.
Taking a deep breath, Xiang Tianhua said to me with utter idiocy, "Damn you! Kneel down and call me Grandpa!"
"Otherwise, I'll cripple you and your brothers right now!"
You damn dog, you've watched too much "Conquer," haven't you?
Hearing this, I coldly replied, "I'll kneel on your grandma's big Sprite!"
Upon hearing my response, Xiang Tianhua was first slightly stunned, then roared with a contorted face, "Damn it! You really are..."
Before he could finish, I threw a punch!
Bang!
Hit in the face by my punch, Xiang Tianhua, caught off guard, clutched his bleeding nose and staggered a few steps before falling directly to the ground!
My sudden, blood-splashing punch instantly shattered the slightly calm atmosphere.
The moment Xiang Tianhua fell, a burly bodyguard behind him clenched his fist and swung it towards my head.
It seemed he intended to go head-to-head with me.
But, I specifically wouldn't go head-to-head with you!
Whoosh!
The moment a cold glint flashed, a muffled sound of air breaking through was heard. The bodyguard immediately clutched his fist, groaning and struggling as he collapsed onto the ground.
The scenes of consecutive bleeding instantly incited the surrounding bodyguards.
"Damn it! Brothers, kill them!"
Before the angry shouts had even fully subsided, these fierce-looking bodyguards roared and charged towards us.
A free-for-all battle between twenty people against a hundred instantly began!
On Rui Chi's side, besides myself, Cheng Minglang, and Han Jinlun, I didn't know who else had martial arts skills.
All I knew was that my job was to attract as much attention from these bodyguards as possible, creating enough space for Cheng Minglang to subdue Luo Qiwen.
Just as those bodyguards were ferociously charging towards us…
Gu Chunlai, whom I had been protecting behind me, stepped forward.
He clenched his fists and scanned the front with cold eyes.
"Forty years of wind and frost, only the art of a thousand accompanies me! Let me today wield a thousand as my sword, and cut down the faithless scoundrels of a thousand gates!"
The moment he finished speaking, Gu Chunlai, who had put on quite a show of his presence, was knocked down by a heavy punch from a burly man in front of him before he could even make a move, rendered unconscious.
"Damn you, old bastard! You hit and hit, what are you babbling about?!"
"..."
I originally thought that someone who could say such words must be a master, but I never expected…
After taking a surprise blow, he was completely out of the picture!
Is this a case of "a young man fears few, but fears the old"?
...
Now, under Cheng Minglang's guidance and practice drills, I can easily take on three or four opponents at once and easily evade their attacks.
But even a strong tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves!
Moreover, it's a group attack of nearly a hundred people!
Facing these well-trained bodyguards, even with steel plates in hand, I couldn't overcome their sheer numbers!
The consequence of one steel plate drawing blood was that afterwards… I would face a barrage of punches and kicks like a fierce storm!
If they had weapons in hand, such as daggers, steel pipes, or baseball bats, I might have also been stabbed or hit with a club!
One plate incapacitates one person.
One punch knocks down one person.
One kick sends one person sprawling.
Gradually, varying degrees of blood began to seep from various parts of my body.
But even so, I still didn't retreat an inch!
Because I knew that if I retreated… the surge of energy in my chest would dissipate!
Tonight, I will rise from the brink of death!!!
