Chapter 1325 - 1320: Seeking Revenge
Once the armed police arrived, they immediately surrounded the restaurant, and a few officers rushed inside with guns.
As soon as these officers rushed in, they shouted, and Huang Bo saw two locals immediately crouch down, holding their heads with both hands.
It seemed the police were asking the people inside the restaurant to raise their hands; faced with the armed police, Huang Bo and the remaining Jvyi Gang members dared not resist and quickly crouched down as well.
There were still many injured inside the restaurant, and the police immediately called ambulances. After sending the injured to the hospital, those unscathed were put into police cars.
Huang Bo and the rest of the Jvyi Gang members were no exception, all being put into police cars and then taken to a police station.
Once at the station, due to the language barrier, Huang Bo and others were temporarily held in a small dark room.
After sending those injured Jvyi Gang brothers to the hospital, Ji Xiaohong hurriedly drove back and, seeing the scene already sealed off by the police, knew Huang Bo and others must have been taken to the station.
Without lingering at the restaurant entrance, Ji Xiaohong directly drove to the police station.
Ji Xiaohong's father still had considerable influence locally, and many officers in the station greeted her warmly.
When Huang Bo and others were brought out from the small dark room, they saw Ji Xiaohong.
"Are you guys okay?" Ji Xiaohong asked Huang Bo and the others upon seeing them.
Huang Bo shook his head and said, "We're okay. By the way, have you figured out the identities of those shooting attackers?"
Ji Xiaohong was able to get them out of the police station due to connections, hence Huang Bo's question.
Ji Xiaohong shook her head and said, "Not yet. According to my estimation, it must be some local extremist organizations."
After leaving the police station, Huang Bo first had Ji Xiaohong take them to the hospital to see the injured brothers.
Fortunately, although those injured brothers were seriously hurt, their lives were spared. However, two were killed outright by gunfire in the restaurant, indicating a lackluster endeavor.
By now, it was already close to four o'clock in the afternoon; Huang Bo gathered himself from his gloomy mood and had Ji Xiaohong pick a place to treat her to a meal.
Ji Xiaohong took Huang Bo and the others to a local restaurant, and after eating, she suggested Huang Bo return to the hotel to rest, planning to meet them again in the morning.
The next morning, eager to find out Li Gongming's whereabouts, Huang Bo called Ji Xiaohong.
Though out of the Jvyi Gang's dozen or so brothers, now five or six were incapacitated, thinking of Li Qiang and Monk's tragic deaths, Huang Bo was anxious to find Li Gongming.
In just a few minutes, Ji Xiaohong rushed over, bringing five or six subordinates. Before coming, Ji Xiaohong had already inquired about Li Gongming's location.
Joining forces, the two groups had about twenty people, led by Huang Bo and directed by one of Ji Xiaohong's subordinates, heading towards Li Gongming's location.
Ji Xiaohong did not go due to certain special reasons, making her unsuitable to be there.
Meanwhile, Li Gongming, having heard about Li Qiang's tragic accident, clearly understood it was definitely Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing's doing.
Yet having eliminated Li Qiang brought Li Gongming a sense of satisfaction; currently, he was drinking happily with several subordinates in a bar.
Just as the joyous drinking was underway, the phone rang.
The call was from Qin Tianlei, advising Li Gongming that some of the Jvyi Gang had gone to the Middle East, cautioning him to be careful.
Li Gongming, upon hearing Qin Tianlei's call, showed little concern, thinking even if the Jvyi Gang were coming, it had nothing to do with him since he wasn't responsible for Li Qiang's death.
After hanging up the phone, Li Gongming resumed drinking with his subordinates, perhaps under the influence of alcohol, even pushing a woman down onto the sofa.
Seeing the situation, his subordinates wisely retreated.
At this moment, Huang Bo led about thirty people to the bar. Spotting Li Gongming's subordinates, one of Ji Xiaohong's people said, "Those are Li Gongming's subordinates."
With a wave, Huang Bo commanded the Jvyi Gang brothers to rush forward unhesitatingly, directly besieging those subordinates, who were quickly beaten into submission.
Huang Bo raised his right foot, kicking the private room door open. Li Gongming was atop the woman when he heard the abrupt door kick and looked up to see an enraged Chinese man in his thirties glaring at him.
"F**k you, you looking for trouble?" Li Gongming hadn't expected the Jvyi Gang to come so quickly, arrogantly assuming it was some ignorant fool.
Huang Bo didn't speak, rushing to the naked Li Gongming, and with his right foot, kicked the left side of Li Gongming's body.
"Ah..." Li Gongming let out a scream, rolling off the woman's body.
The woman screamed in fright too. Huang Bo looked at the naked woman, a foreigner with an indiscernible nationality, and said coldly, "Put on your clothes and get out."
The woman hurriedly picked up the clothes still on the floor, covered her private parts, and ran out in panic.
"Who are you, what do you want?" Li Gongming looked at Huang Bo with a pained expression and said.
Huang Bo glared at Li Gongming coldly and said, "I'm Li Qiang's brother. I've come today to ask you who really killed Li Qiang."
Li Gongming was startled inside, his eyes a bit flustered, and said, "I didn't kill Li Qiang, he died in a car accident."
Fuck, Huang Bo cursed silently, you bastard, you won't cry till you see the coffin. Then he raised his right leg again and gave Li Gongming a vicious kick in the groin.
The man's most critical area is also the most deadly spot, and this kick really took Li Gongming's life. A huge wave of pain surged to his heart, causing cold sweat to break out instantly on his face, and he let out an even more miserable scream.
"Are you going to talk or not?" Huang Bo's gaze was terrifyingly cold, making Li Gongming feel a chill in his heart amid his pain.
"I'll talk, I'll talk. This thing with Li Qiang was done by Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing, it has nothing to do with me." A wise man knows when to retreat, and although Li Gongming was in intense pain, he didn't forget to clear himself in this moment.
Qin Tianlei, Gu Qing – hearing these two names from Li Gongming, Huang Bo was instantly taken aback. Fucking hell, so those two bastards were behind this.
Huang Bo continued glaring at Li Gongming with a fearsome expression and said, "You're no good either, dammit, I'm taking you out today."
After speaking, he raised his leg for the third time and proceeded to mercilessly beat Li Gongming. Even more severely, in his rage, Huang Bo landed two kicks on Li Gongming's groin.
Li Gongming was left with just half a life after Huang Bo's brutal beating, panting and begging, "Sir, Grandfather, everything I did was under the orders of Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing, if you want revenge go after them, they're in Japan right now."
After finishing Li Gongming, Huang Bo felt a significant release of his grudges. Hearing Li Gongming say Gu Qing and Qin Tianlei were in Japan, he immediately realized that Lu Dapao's affairs were also orchestrated by those two bastards.
A brother from Jvyi Gang ran in and said to Huang Bo, "Brother Bo, hurry up, the police are coming."
Huang Bo gave the half-dead Li Gongming another vicious kick, cursing, "Damn it, you're lucky this time, next time I'll deal with you properly."
Saying that, he turned around and left the private room, leaving the bar before the police arrived.
Li Gongming was taken to the hospital, with three ribs fractured by Huang Bo, and almost no part of his body unscathed – bruises covered him from head to toe. Worse still, Huang Bo ruined his manhood.
After dealing with Li Gongming, Huang Bo didn't immediately leave the Middle East. Sichuan University Group's chain supermarkets needed to resume business as soon as possible in this area.
...
Jiangbei City.
Lai Xiaole returned to the hotel, taking out the Golden Compass that Fu Xi had given him to study carefully.
The Book of Destiny was passed down from the Lai family ancestors, and he still hadn't unlocked its secrets. According to what his father told him before he died, to unlock the Book of Destiny, one must find the Golden Compass lost by the Lai family's ancestor, Lai Buyi.
This Golden Compass looks the same size as a regular compass, but it's not made of gold, it's named so because of the gold plating on its surface, giving it a shiny appearance.
Ordinary compasses feature magnetic needles and Eight Diagrams for determining orientation. These Eight Diagrams naturally refer to heaven, earth, thunder, and fire.
However, this Golden Compass is more profound and complex, covered on its surface with the hexagrams derived from the Eight Diagrams and celestial and earthly branches, among others.
The center of the compass surface lacks the magnetic needle of a normal compass. Instead, a small Eight Diagram design is present at the center.
Lai Xiaole believed he had a deep understanding of compasses, but he had never encountered one as strange as this. What secrets could this compass possibly hold?
While Lai Xiaole was pondering over this puzzle, a sudden knock at the door interrupted him. After securing the compass, he got up and opened the door to find Fu Xi, the mysterious middle-aged man.
Lai Xiaole had already learned that Fu Xi wanted to use the Book of Destiny to save his wife. According to Fu Xi, unraveling the secrets of the Book of Destiny would reveal a way to reverse fate and resurrect his wife.
To outsiders, Fu Xi seemed to be dreamily whimsical, but Lai Xiaole believed Fu Xi's words were true.
According to the ancient records left by the Lai family's ancestors, if one could unlock the secrets of the Book of Destiny, they could alter a person's fate or even bring someone back to life.
Seeing Fu Xi's arrival, Lai Xiaole couldn't help but be surprised; he hadn't told Fu Xi where he was staying. How did Fu Xi find him?
