Old Hou chuckled, looking at him and saying, "Don't worry, Director Qi. One million is all it takes. Find a truck driver or something, give him a few drinks, and he can just run him over.
"If anything happens, no one will know it was us behind it. You're perfectly safe."
"Here's one million." Director Qi handed him a card, quickly distanced himself, and hurried away.
Old Hou didn't chase him. He turned and walked into the restroom, making a call. "Find someone to have a drink and take care of this kid for me."
"Remember, be clean when you do it. After it's done, you'll get fifty thousand."
"Heh heh, Brother Hou, don't worry, I have plenty of people for this. I guarantee this kid won't see tonight's moon." A voice on the other end of the phone spoke with a chilling laugh.
Old Hou nodded, "I trust you to handle it. That's all."
With that, he hung up.
After leaving the restroom, he cast a cold glance towards Li Yang, then acted as if nothing had happened, putting on a friendly smile as he slowly walked away.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Yang had already sensed the killing intent in his eyes and narrowed his own.
Did this guy have a grudge against him?
"Boss Li, what are you thinking about?" Lu Fang asked with a smile.
Li Yang shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just suddenly remembered something. I won't be leaving with you all later."
"Mr. Li, I still want to treat you to dinner," Bao Baoli said quickly.
Li Yang smiled, "Let's eat tonight."
"Alright then, I'll call you tonight. You must do me the honor," Bao Baoli said with a smile.
The people she had invited soon arrived, all professionals in packing and long-distance transport of antiques.
Li Yang didn't watch them pack, and walked out of the museum.
"It's that kid who just came out."
Across from the museum, in a restaurant called "Big Yellow," a man dressed impeccably spoke to the air.
Beside him, a middle-aged man in a tank top, stout and appearing rough, grunted, slapped a red banknote onto the table, grabbed a bottle of Erguotou, and walked outside while drinking.
No one noticed the exchange between the two. Even if they sat next to each other, no one would suspect they were working together.
The rough man got into a large truck parked outside the restaurant and stepped on the accelerator, driving onto the street.
The roaring engine exploded. The moment Li Yang turned his head, he saw a large truck precisely aiming to hit him!
"They've finally come!" Li Yang's eyes sharpened.
The rough man in the truck said coldly, "Don't blame me when you die, kid. Blame yourself for being too young and not knowing how to keep a low profile, and for provoking people you shouldn't have!"
"You're asking for death!"
As he spoke, he slammed the accelerator to the floor, driving straight at Li Yang!
With a loud bang, the large truck crashed into the artificial mountain outside the museum. The mountain was immediately shattered into pieces, scattering everywhere, but the truck also came to a halt.
"Hmph, done," the rough man sneered, shaking his head. He opened the car door, got out, and took out his phone to surrender.
He wasn't escaping after the incident; instead, he intended to surrender. This way, the death penalty would be commuted to a prison sentence, and the sentence would be reduced by several years!
With help inside the prison, he would be out in three to five years.
However, just as he was about to call the police to surrender, he suddenly saw a figure walking towards him. "Oh, that was really dangerous. I say, driver, drinking and driving can cause fatalities. Do you know that?"
"You, how..." The truck driver turned and saw that it was Li Yang. His eyes immediately widened.
How could it be this kid?
Then what did I just hit?
Li Yang said, "What's wrong? You seem surprised to see me alive."
"Did you deliberately try to hit me?"
"I, I didn't mean that." The truck driver's expression changed. He quickly said, "Since you're alright, I'll leave now."
"Wait. Causing such a big incident with drunk driving, I can't just let you go." Li Yang looked at him and said, "If possible, I'd appreciate it if you'd report yourself to the police."
"I didn't kill anyone, why should I report myself?" The truck driver said angrily, "Don't be difficult, kid, or I'll make you pay."
"It seems you're unwilling to surrender. Then I'll help you." Li Yang took a step towards him.
A vicious glint flashed in the truck driver's eyes. He suddenly pulled a metal rod from the truck and swung it towards Li Yang's head.
If I
didn't kill you by crashing, then I'll smash you to death with this metal rod!
It's all the same, killing you. I'm sure I'll still get paid!
However, he greatly underestimated Li Yang's abilities.
Seeing the metal rod about to strike, Li Yang casually grabbed it, disarmed him, and with a backhand swing, struck the truck driver's knee.
"Ouch!" The truck driver immediately fell to his knees, his face pale.
Li Yang patted the metal rod in his hand, not in a hurry to continue, and instead asked, "I assume you know by now that you can't kill me."
"Why don't you tell me who instigated this, and I'll let you go, forgetting about what just happened."
"What instigator? I don't know what you're talking about," the driver said through gritted teeth.
Li Yang sighed and said, "Why can't you just understand the situation?"
With that, he brought the metal rod down.
The truck driver immediately writhed on the ground in pain, "You, you have the guts, kill me."
"I won't kill you," Li Yang smiled, crouched down, extended a hand, and grabbed his leg.
With a crack, the truck driver felt his leg, which had just been broken, heal.
He looked at Li Yang in confusion, "You, ah!"
As soon as he spoke, Li Yang swung the metal rod down again, breaking his just-healed leg!
The truck driver rolled on the ground in agony, "My leg, my leg!"
"Don't be afraid, I'll heal you now," Li Yang said with a smile.
The driver said fearfully, "No, don't heal me, I'd rather it stay broken!"
"That won't do. You haven't told me what I need to know yet. We can't end this so quickly," Li Yang said with a smile, and with a crack, he healed his leg again.
Seeing that he was about to break his leg again, the driver's face turned pale as he shouted, "Don't hit me anymore, I'll tell you everything!"
"It was all Brother Sun's idea!"
"Who is Brother Sun?" Li Yang asked, staring at him.
