He only needed to call the police after they started fighting and hand over the evidence he had collected to them. Then Hei Zi would spend a few years in jail.
Hei Zi had actually taken a life before. He would hand over some clues to the police about that as well. It was a pity that he couldn't find any evidence. If the police were thorough enough, they might uncover evidence of his murder, and then he could be imprisoned for life, or even pay with his life.
To fulfill his promise to Mian Mian, Yun Bu Ji began to plan his gradual detachment from his past life.
After listening, the two were still worried about him and wanted to act with him. Yun Bu Ji said that in the current situation, fewer people meant safer. More people would only alert the enemy.
In the end, Zhou Hao and Li Xiang had no choice but to obey Yun Bu Ji's words, stating they wouldn't go over but would maintain contact.
...
At eight o'clock on Saturday night, everything unfolded as Yun Bu Ji had predicted. Hei Zi and his rivals engaged in a fierce fight. Unfortunately, what Yun Bu Ji hadn't anticipated was that Hei Zi would escape with two of his subordinates in the end.
Everyone else was taken back to the police station.
When Yun Bu Ji received the news, his expression was grave. Hei Zi, true to his name, was ruthless and cruel. If he was allowed to escape this time, he would surely retaliate madly against him.
Moreover, his tactic of watching the tigers fight from the mountain must have been seen through by Hei Zi.
"Zhou Hao, Li Xiang, you two need to be careful lately. Hei Zi won't let this go so easily," Yun Bu Ji said with a headache. He had thought they could capture both sides this time, but he hadn't expected someone to slip away in the end.
"Brother Yun, his main target is you. You're the one who needs to be careful," Zhou Hao said, looking at him with great concern.
"Why don't I move in with you for the time being? That way, if anything happens, we can look out for each other," Li Xiang suggested.
"No need. My place is still safe for now. Besides, if they do manage to find my home, they'll be the ones at a disadvantage," Yun Bu Ji said, unwilling to let Li Xiang take the risk.
Li Xiang came from a normal family with both parents alive, unlike him, who was alone and had nothing to fear.
Zhou Hao's grandfather was frail and couldn't be left alone, so he couldn't move in with Yun Bu Ji, and Yun Bu Ji wouldn't agree anyway.
The three chatted for a long time before heading home separately.
...
In a house in an old residential area, Hei Zi, Huang Mao, and another subordinate were all injured. Hei Zi's eyes were filled with intense killing intent. "Damn it, I was played by that bastard Yun Bu Ji! He dared to play me! If I don't kill you, I'm not Gao!"
"Brother Hei, all our men have been arrested. We only have three people left. What do we do now?" Huang Mao asked.
"Yun Bu Ji dared to break the rules of the underworld, he deserves to die!"
"But Yun Bu Ji is very cunning. We've ambushed him so many times, and only succeeded once. It's hard to ambush him again," Huang Mao said objectively.
"If we can't ambush him, then we'll go after his brothers! Isn't that guy Zhou Hao working at the repair shop? Let's go after him first, teach Yun Bu Ji a lesson, and let him know that daring to break the rules of the streets comes with a price!" Hei Zi said coldly.
...
Zhou Hao was severely injured and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. When Yun Bu Ji received the news, he felt numb. He rushed to the hospital like a madman, only to see Zhou Hao lying on the emergency bed, covered in blood, surrounded by medical staff.
Thick tubes were inserted into Zhou Hao's mouth, and his eyes were tightly closed, as if he were already dead. Yun Bu Ji stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
