A few minutes later, the two cars parked downstairs at the small hotel started up quickly.
In the cars were Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong, with Wu Ya naturally also present, squeezed between them in the seats, his expression one of utter misery.
Bai Xiaoguang was on the phone at the time.
"Brother Dao, don't worry. We've locked everyone up in one room and confiscated all their communication devices. We've left two men specifically to keep watch, so there's no way any news will get out."
"Dealing with these small fries is more than enough for us. There's no need for our entire force to mobilize every time. That would be giving them too much credit. Just wait at home for our good news!"
"Tell the boss, you can rest assured when we handle things!"
"Alright, we'll be careful!"
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaoguang glanced coldly at Wu Ya beside him. Wu Ya lowered his head in fear, his face filled with terror.
Seeing such a coward, Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong exchanged glances, both seeing a trace of disdain in each other's eyes.
In the night, the two cars, one after another, quickly disappeared down the street, heading towards the target Wu Ya had mentioned.
At the real estate development site, in an elegantly decorated reception room, three men were seated on the sofa.
They were Qin Chuan, Qin Yang, and Zheng Chengdao. Qin Chuan had come over after work.
The three of them were drinking tea, and the room was filled with the aroma of tea.
Zheng Chengdao's phone was on speaker, and everyone heard the call from Bai Xiaoguang.
"Has Han Shifei been making any moves since he returned?" Qin Chuan asked.
"According to the men I sent out to gather information, Han Shifei hasn't gone anywhere. He's just been staying in his Fenggu Garden, living a life of healthy habits," Zheng Chengdao replied.
"However, his younger brother has been quite active recently, frequently meeting with people from Longteng Real Estate and bringing along a few new faces when he goes out to have fun," Qin Yang spoke up, putting down his teacup and lighting a cigarette.
"I don't know why, but I always feel like something is off about Han Shifei's situation."
"I have that feeling too," Qin Chuan said, his dark eyes appearing to swirl with a vortex under the light. "It's too quiet! So quiet that it actually feels abnormal, a complete departure from his usual behavior."
In the past, Han Shifei's demeanor had always been extremely arrogant and overbearing. If anyone dared to defy them, he would directly send people to cause trouble. Qin Chuan and Han Shifei's grievances almost always involved the latter initiating the conflict. However, the outcome was always the opposite, with them being the ones who suffered losses. This time, after mysteriously disappearing for several months, his change in behavior upon his return was jarring.
"Do you think this incident might be intentional?" Zheng Chengdao asked hesitantly.
The three men present were all calm, experienced individuals who acted cautiously and considered all aspects of a situation. Now, gathered together, they were analyzing every possibility.
"We can't rule out that possibility," Qin Yang said with a serious expression. "After Han Shifei suffered several defeats at our hands, changing his approach is quite normal."
"If what happened to my second brother this time truly wasn't a coincidence, then things are getting tricky!"
"I have a feeling that our actions tonight might be in danger!"
Hearing the mention of danger, Qin Yang and Zheng Chengdao's eyelids twitched.
"Xiao Chuan, are you saying this might be a trap? Someone deliberately setting a snare for us?" Qin Yang suddenly sat up straight. Zheng Chengdao's expression also turned extremely serious.
Qin Chuan continued to analyze: "Didn't you both say that Han Shifei has several new faces around him? And the person who attacked my second brother was one of those new faces, someone who seems to possess formidable strength. If we follow this clue, can we infer that after being defeated in our direct confrontation last time, Han Shifei disappeared for a few months to find powerful help from outside?"
"This time, that old fox Han Shifei is no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, he's using meticulous methods to deal with us. And my second brother was his first move."
As Qin Chuan's analysis delved deeper, Qin Yang and Zheng Chengdao's faces grew increasingly solemn.
"We know Han Shifei well, and we've always had people investigating him and keeping an eye on him. From a different perspective, wouldn't Han Shifei be doing the same?"
"They must also have a lot of detailed information about us and understand the bond between us three brothers very well."
"If I were in Han Shifei's shoes, to make a move, I would also start with my second brother, the weakest link."
"One step at a time, slowly and deliberately!"
After Qin Chuan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became incredibly oppressive.
"Then should we call Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong back?" Zheng Chengdao asked hesitantly.
Qin Yang also looked intently at his younger brother. In terms of strategy and intelligence, Qin Chuan had always been the quickest to react and the most meticulous in his thinking.
Qin Chuan tapped his fingers on the table, one after another, and finally nodded. "Alright, call them to..."
*Ring, ring, ring!!!*
Before Qin Chuan could finish speaking, a piercing phone ring suddenly sounded.
"It's Yao Dong calling!" Zheng Chengdao glanced at the caller ID and immediately answered.
Unexpectedly, his expression changed the next second, and he stood up abruptly.
Seeing Zheng Chengdao's reaction, Qin Chuan and Qin Yang exchanged glances, a bad premonition rising within them. They also stood up, gesturing for Zheng Chengdao to turn on the speakerphone.
"Are you the so-called Brother Dao? I heard you're the boss of those two bloody, pathetic dogs kneeling at my feet! A bit more formidable than them, I'd say."
A voice of extreme arrogance came through the phone.
"Your two little brothers are in my hands now. Come over and let's get acquainted!"
Zheng Chengdao's arm, holding the phone, trembled uncontrollably. "Who are you?"
"Don't worry about who I am. The point is, we're not friends!"
"Do you have the guts, my Brother Dao!!!" The owner of the voice on the phone openly displayed his taunting.
Zheng Chengdao looked at Qin Chuan beside him. Qin Chuan nodded grimly. Receiving his affirmation, he coldly replied, "Good, tell us the location, and we'll be there immediately!"
"Haha, as expected of Brother Dao, you've got guts!" The other party let out a loud laugh, paused, and then said:
"Do you know the abandoned lime factory in the county town? We're here right now!"
"Tell your boss, who calls the police for every little thing, not to call the police this time, or I'll completely cripple them!!"
As soon as the words were spoken, sounds of pain, "wuwu," could be heard from the phone, clearly from Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong.
Zheng Chengdao, trembling all over, hung up the phone.
Qin Chuan and Qin Yang's faces also turned extremely grim. Just a few minutes ago, they were discussing the potential danger of this action, fearing it was a trap, and now it had come true. Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong, along with the men they brought, were all captured. Not only that, but the other party had called to taunt them, urging them to deliver themselves into their hands. It seemed they intended to catch them all in one swoop!
"Go gather our men and bring all the brothers!" Qin Chuan said coldly in the oppressive atmosphere.
Regardless of whether this was a dragon's den or a sea of fire, they had to brave it and rescue Bai Xiaoguang, Yao Dong, and their other brothers.
Zheng Chengdao and Qin Yang quickly pushed open the door and left without a word.
