In less than ten minutes, a large number of men had gathered downstairs.
Standing on the second-floor balcony, Qin Chuan, who was silently smoking, roughly estimated that there were at least twenty to thirty people. This was his current crew, and more were still on their way.
Some rode motorcycles, some rode bicycles, all converging towards this location, each carrying weapons.
Qin Chuan tossed the cigarette butt on the ground, extinguished it with his foot, and turned to go downstairs.
"Boss!"
"Boss!!"
"Boss, let's go get them, rescue Brother Dong and Brother Guang!"
"Yeah, we have to save Brother Dong and Brother Guang!"
"Who does that Han Shifei think he is? We'll kill them all!"
Upon seeing Qin Chuan appear, the brothers gathered downstairs shouted angrily. It was clear they already knew what had happened, and their eyes were filled with rage.
Qin Chuan raised his hand, and the shouting gradually subsided, finally becoming calm. All eyes were fixed on his face, awaiting his command.
"Brothers!"
Qin Chuan didn't mince words and shouted loudly.
"Tonight, I believe you all know what has happened!"
"I won't beat around the bush with you all!"
"We have trained soldiers for a thousand days, and now is the time to use them!"
"In the past, we were able to defeat a larger force, leading men to attack Han Shifei's stronghold, leaving them defeated and scattered, forcing them to hide for over three months without appearing."
"I ask you all, every brother who participated in that battle, were you not full of spirit? Were you not proud of it!"
Qin Chuan's voice, in the darkness, carried a sharp penetration, clearly reaching everyone's ears, making their blood instinctively surge, making them eager to fight immediately.
"Proud! Proud!!"
After Qin Chuan finished speaking, a loud roar erupted. Some in the crowd were flushed with excitement.
That time, when the two sides clashed head-on, Han Shifei, the underground emperor who had dominated Yongnan County for over twenty years, was thoroughly defeated. That battle truly became a source of pride for many, with no embellishment.
It turned out that the renowned King Han was not invincible!
"Good!!"
Qin Chuan extended his hands, his deep voice echoing in the night sky.
"Since we have had the experience of defeating them, I believe we can achieve it again this time!"
"Because our strength now is stronger, fiercer than before! We have more numbers, and our cohesion is greater!"
"Tonight, we will make them understand that their glory in Yongnan County is long gone!"
"There are no eternal dynasties, nor enduring powers in history!"
"The transition from old to new is the most realistic survival law."
"I, Qin Chuan, do not seek trouble, but I am not afraid of it either!"
"Since they have dared to bully us, we need not be polite. We will strike back directly. Do you agree?"
"Agree!!"
"Agree!!!"
The synchronized shouts echoed far and wide. Fortunately, the area was remote with few residents, otherwise, they would have been terrified in the middle of the night.
Even so, some residents were startled and secretly opened their doors and windows…
Watching Qin Chuan ignite the fighting spirit of everyone with just a few words, Qin Yang and Zheng Chengdao, who stood beside him, felt their own suppressed excitement surge.
Some are born with leadership qualities; their every word and action emanates a strong charisma that commands belief, stirs passion, and inspires followers.
Clearly, Qin Chuan was one such figure!
"Alright, now listen to my command!"
"Target: the abandoned cement factory in the west of the city. Move out!!!"
Qin Chuan shouted his final command, and everyone immediately sprang into action.
"Xiao Chuan, you don't need to go."
Seeing Qin Chuan about to get into a car, Qin Yang quickly blocked the door.
Qin Chuan looked at his elder brother blocking the car door with surprise.
"Boss, we'll take the men. You don't need to go with us. It's too dangerous."
Zheng Chengdao also spoke up.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile at this. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who's afraid of danger?"
"That's not it at all!"
Zheng Chengdao shook his head. "But tonight's situation is different from usual, and it seems that old man Han Shifei himself didn't come, only his rabble!"
"Yes, Xiao Chuan, if Han Shifei didn't even show up, your going would make it seem like we're lower than them. You really shouldn't go!"
"With Brother Dao and me going, we guarantee that Yao Dong and Xiao Guang will be brought back."
Qin Yang urged.
Qin Chuan’s expression became thoughtful, and he finally said:
"I understand your concerns, but since Yao Dong and Xiao Guang are in trouble tonight, I must go!"
"Don't worry, if Han Shifei truly didn't come, I'll just sit in the car and leave everything to you."
Qin Chuan said with a smile, then swiftly got into the car.
Seeing Qin Chuan's resolve, Qin Yang and Zheng Chengdao exchanged glances, a hint of helplessness on their faces, and could only get into the car as well.
Soon, the mighty convoy set off, with the Tiger Head Ben leading the way, followed by motorcycles, their engines roaring, their bright headlights dazzling in the night.
The abandoned cement factory was located in the western part of the city, a desolate area with sparse population.
Normally, not even a ghost would be seen there, but tonight, the courtyard of the abandoned cement factory was brightly lit, with figures darting about.
Several cars were parked there, their headlights glaring.
*Pa!*
*Pa!!*
A series of forceful slaps echoed, accompanied by arrogant shouts.
"It's been almost half an hour, and we haven't seen a single shadow!"
"I say, you two, your highly respected boss isn't all that great, is he? He hasn't shown up for so long. Could it be that they've abandoned you two useless wastes?"
Under the lights, a circle of people gathered. In the center, two figures covered in blood, their hands bound, lying on the ground, were particularly noticeable.
A man in a trench coat, with a wild and untamed expression, was squatting in front of the two figures. With every sentence he spoke, he would forcefully slap their faces with his palm.
These two were Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong. They looked extremely disheveled, as if they had endured brutal treatment. Their faces, foreheads, and clothes were all stained with blood.
However, even in this state, the two remained silent, their eyes like wolves, staring fiercely at the man.
"Yo! Yo! Look at those eyes, so tough!"
"Even now, you're still so ferocious, you're scaring me so much!!"
The man in the trench coat mocked, putting on a feigned frightened expression, which elicited laughter from the surrounding crowd.
"Do you believe me or not, I'll directly gouge your eyes out with a knife, so you'll never be able to see anything again!"
Suddenly, the man in the trench coat's face turned ferocious. He grabbed Yao Dong's collar, pressing a dagger tightly against Yao Dong's eyeball. A slight force would have blinded him.
Yao Dong's expression remained unchanged, staring directly at the man in the trench coat.
"Brother Xu, why waste words with these idiots? Just blind them!"
Someone nearby egged him on, and it was none other than Wu Ya, who had been treated like a subordinate earlier. However, Wu Ya now lacked his former meekness, replaced by a cunning and treacherous demeanor, his eyes filled with mockery.
"Boss! Cars are coming from ahead! Judging by the lights and the number of people, it looks like quite a few!"
Just then, someone ran over breathlessly and shouted loudly.
