Chapter 1034 - 1031: Something Major Happened
The four big men heard Li Huaiqiang's order and rushed towards Taozi and Huang Bo.
The first two who got to Huang Bo swung their fists at him from left and right, and Huang Bo no longer needed to be polite with them. He dodged, quickly kicking towards the big man on his left side.
Slap...
Huang Bo's kick landed on the big man's body, who seemed unfazed, responding with a left hook which struck heavily into Huang Bo's abdomen.
Huang Bo felt a huge pain surging over him, let out a muffled grunt, and collapsed to the ground.
Huang Bo had learned some combat skills from Lin Chuan, but Taozi was far behind in comparison. He was taken down immediately, followed by a brutal and overwhelming beating that left both of them severely injured.
After nearly fifteen minutes of beating, Li Huaiqiang ordered the four men to stop. He walked over, stepped on Huang Bo, and viciously said, "Kid, this is what you get for being rude to me. Watch your step in the future."
Huang Bo, covered in blood, glared at Li Huaiqiang and said, "You better finish me off today, or someday I'll have you under my feet."
Li Huaiqiang burst into laughter, eyes filled with disdain, and said, "Just you? Maybe in your next life. Take them away."
...
Fukuoka, Japan.
Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao were sitting together, bantering.
Lu Dapao wore a wicked grin, looking quite smug as he said, "Kai, Japanese women, damn, they really are something. Their bed skills are amazing."
Lately, Lu Dapao had somehow hooked up with a Japanese girl.
Zhou Kai chuckled and said, "You managed to get her into bed so quickly? Come on, tell me, does a Japanese woman scream like they do in AVs?"
Lu Dapao said, "Not that exaggerated, but Japanese women really know how to serve a man. First..."
Just then, Zhou Kai's phone rang.
Zhou Kai took out his phone and saw it was Taozi calling, so he answered, "Taozi..."
Before Zhou Kai could say anything, Taozi's voice came through the phone, "Kai, Huang Bo and I were attacked. Huang Bo is still in the hospital, seriously injured."
"Damn it, who did it?" Zhou Kai roared into the phone, furious.
Taozi's voice came over, "I can't explain clearly right now, hurry and come over."
Zhou Kai said, "Taozi, take good care of Huang Bo, make sure nothing happens to him. Dapao and I will bring our brothers over right away."
After hanging up, without waiting for Lu Dapao to ask, Zhou Kai said, "Dapao, immediately gather the brothers and head to Washington; Taozi and Huang Bo were attacked, and Huang Bo is still lying in the hospital."
"Damn, who did it?" Lu Dapao reacted just like Zhou Kai did.
Zhou Kai waved his hand, saying, "Not sure yet, we're heading over now. Oh, notify Li Qiang, have him bring his men too."
Sichuan University Group, Jiangbei City.
Li Qiang received a call from Lu Dapao, and immediately got anxious. Huang Bo was a life-and-death friend to him, hearing that Huang Bo was in trouble, he couldn't help but be anxious. He quickly gathered dozens of brothers, not even informing Zhou Rui, and headed directly to the airport.
Someone quickly went to find Zhou Rui to explain the situation. Upon hearing, Zhou Rui's brows furrowed into a knot. Sichuan University Group was now gradually on the right track; everything should be handled according to proper procedures. This kind of fighting not only harmed the group's image but also wasn't good for them. As she thought this over, she took out her phone to call Li Qiang.
Connecting the call, Zhou Rui immediately said to Li Qiang, "Li Qiang, bring your men back immediately."
On the phone, Li Qiang continued to argue, "Huang Bo is seriously injured now, I can't just stand by and watch him be bullied. I'm going to stand up for him."
Zhou Rui sternly said, "I know you're worried about Huang Bo, but can you use your brain a little before acting? Come back and we'll discuss how to resolve this issue."
Li Qiang didn't want to go back. Zhou Rui finally lost her patience and said, "Li Qiang, I'm telling you, if you don't come back today, I'll use my position as General Manager of Sichuan University Group to kick you out."
Li Qiang was stunned by this, having no choice but to bring his dozens of men back to Sichuan University Group. The moment he entered Zhou Rui's office, her fiery temper exploded: "Qiangzi, do you even regard me as the General Manager? Why didn't you inform me about this major issue?"
Li Qiang's face was also a bit unsightly, he said, "Huang Bo is my brother, and Zhou Kai has already led people over. How can I not help?"
Zhou Rui said, "It's not that I'm stopping you from helping, but you mobilizing a large group of people like that has a huge impact on the group's reputation."
Li Qiang snorted and said, "The Sichuan University Group was built by the brothers of the Jvyi Gang putting their lives on the line. Now that our brothers have been bullied, the Jvyi Gang should help."
"Qiangzi, I've told you before, if something happens to Huang Bo, we won't just stand by." Zhou Rui said, glaring, "The Sichuan University Group was indeed established by you guys, but now it supports many people's livelihoods. If you go around fighting and causing trouble, how many people's means of living will be destroyed?"
Li Qiang fell silent, after a long pause he asked, "So what should we do now?"
Zhou Rui said, "You take a few brothers and go check out the situation first. If the other party really wants to start a war with us, I'll arrange everything afterward."
...
Lin Chuan boarded a flight to Washington accompanied by two beautiful women.
On the plane, Mu Bai sat next to Lin Chuan, chattering non-stop, while Helen next to them slightly frowned.
Lin Chuan didn't know where Mu Bai had so much to say, so he had to listen patiently. Mu Bai's words were mostly trivial nonsense, occasionally interspersed with little jokes.
A tall, beautiful flight attendant came over, with a friendly smile, bowed slightly, and said to Mu Bai, "Miss, the plane is about to take off, please fasten your seatbelt."
Mu Bai turned her head to glance at the flight attendant, reluctantly starting to fasten her seatbelt.
Finally getting some peace and quiet, Lin Chuan quickly put on headphones.
After the plane took off, Mu Bai intended to continue talking, but Lin Chuan pretended to be asleep, not daring to provoke Mu Bai further.
Seeing Lin Chuan ignoring her, Mu Bai huffily closed her eyes as well.
After a six-hour flight, Lin Chuan and his companions arrived at Washington International Airport.
After getting off the plane and reaching the airport entrance, Helen said to Mu Bai, "Miss Mu Bai, Lin Chuan and I have some things to do, please feel free to explore."
Mu Bai glared at Lin Chuan with her eyes, Lin Chuan smiled awkwardly and said, "I've already booked a room at the Washington Hotel, you go ahead, I'll come find you after I'm done."
Before coming, Lin Chuan had already set some ground rules with her, so Mu Bai didn't have much to say and could only reply, "Alright, I'll wait for you at the hotel. If you don't come, I'll wait for you forever."
After Mu Bai left, Helen hailed a taxi, and after she and Lin Chuan got in, she instructed the driver to go to 232 Green Street in Washington.
The place Helen mentioned was obviously one of the secret bases of the UK's Military Intelligence Six in the United States.
"Lin Chuan, didn't expect you to be quite the ladies' man, promising one while bringing along another. Do you have any more women?" Helen said casually, looking at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window.
Lin Chuan understood the insinuation in Helen's words, the one he promised referred to the commitment he made to Tang Yumeng on the day of the public trial, and the one he brought along clearly referred to Mu Bai.
Smiling awkwardly, Lin Chuan said nothing.
Helen turned around, with an indescribable smile on her face, she said, "What, did I hit the mark? Seems like you really are a playboy."
Lin Chuan didn't want to discuss this topic with her and changed the subject by saying, "Miss Helen, I came to the United States with you to find Princess Manler, as for my private matters, I reserve the right not to answer you."
Helen was taken aback, a slight hint of anger appeared on her lovely face, and she turned her head away, ignoring Lin Chuan.
After driving for about fifteen minutes, they arrived at 232 Green Street. The two got out of the car, Lin Chuan paid the fare, and Helen, still angry, walked towards the entrance without saying a word to him.
Sigh, women, Lin Chuan thought bitterly, quickly following her.
From the outside, 232 Green Street looked no different from an ordinary house. Even inside, it resembled a typical home.
Upon entering, Lin Chuan surveyed his surroundings. It was a few hundred square feet house with a large living room and two bedrooms, decorated quite plainly, looking like an average residence.
Inside was another person, a woman in her twenties.
This woman was dressed in a very formal, tailored business suit, wearing glasses, looking very much like a high-level executive. Upon seeing Helen, the woman showed a respectful expression and said, "Miss Helen, everything you asked for has been arranged."
Helen nodded and said, "Alright, lead us inside."
The woman turned and walked towards the east wall of the living room, pressing something at a flowerpot in the corner. With a creaking sound, a door opened in the wall.
Lin Chuan chuckled, he had suspected that there was no way a secret base of the UK's Military Intelligence Six in Washington would look just like a normal house.
Since entering the house, Helen hadn't spoken a word to Lin Chuan. At this moment, she merely glanced back at him before following the woman through the door, and Lin Chuan quickly followed suit.
