Chapter 77

Xu Yun took out the box of Hongtashan cigarettes he had just put in his pocket and offered the half-smoked butt to the taxi driver Feng Wei again.

This time, Feng Wei did not take the cigarette. His left eye twitched noticeably: "I don't understand what you're talking about. You must have the wrong person."

Xu Yun took back the cigarette: "Bro, I'm a straightforward person, and I hope you are too. You should understand that I'm not a cop, so I don't have so many rules and principles."

Threat?

Feng Wei glared fiercely at the young man in front of him, who was wearing shorts and flip-flops but could afford an Audi: "I told you, you have the wrong person! Stop bothering me. Everyone in this building is from our village. If you don't want trouble, leave now."

"Are you sure you wouldn't say that to the police?" Xu Yun smiled slightly: "I just have one question. Where did the wanted criminal go after he got in your car at the airport? Tell me, and I'll leave immediately. I promise I won't say it was you. You can rest assured."

Feng Wei suddenly erupted in anger: "I told you, I don't know any wanted criminal! I haven't picked up anyone at the airport! Get lost!"

Xu Yun showed no intention of leaving: "I know you're afraid you'll be killed if you talk. And as long as you deny it, you won't be charged with harboring a criminal, so you won't say anything."

Feng Wei glared at Xu Yun angrily: "Are you sent by the police? I've said many times I don't know anything! Stop bothering me!"

"I told you, I'm not a cop, so I don't have so many rules and principles." As Xu Yun finished speaking, he delivered a powerful kick!

Feng Wei's stomach was hit hard, and he almost fell to his knees!

Xu Yun had a thug-like expression: "If you don't talk, I'll beat it out of you."

"I'll fight you to the death!" Feng Wei's anger suddenly burst out, and he sprang up from the ground, his large fist aimed directly at Xu Yun.

Xu Yun just slightly sidestepped to avoid the punch, then raised his knee and hit Feng Wei's stomach hard! Feng Wei fell to the ground with a groan, the intense pain making it hard for him to bear. This unassuming young man's seemingly weak body contained such powerful strength.

Feng Wei gasped for air. Because the wanted criminal had taken his car, he hadn't had a peaceful day for several days. It was either the big boss Ma Pinghai threatening him or the police investigating... His tolerance was almost at its limit.

Xu Yun still stood there: "Are you still not going to talk?"

"..." Feng Wei clenched his teeth, believing that as long as he held on, this matter would pass. As long as he endured, everything would calm down!

Xu Yun suddenly struck again, his foot hooking Feng Wei's chin. The 150-pound man was kicked two meters into the air! Then, a powerful punch hit Feng Wei, sending him flying five meters away.

Feng Wei, who had always considered himself physically fit, could no longer get up.

Some neighbors who were idle and saw this scene were also stunned. After all, it was a rural resettlement community, and most of the people at home were rural women. Few dared to speak up, and only a few热心的 (热心的 means "enthusiastic" or "concerned") people hurried to the village committee to call for help.

Although Xu Yun felt somewhat guilty towards the taxi driver, he had no choice. He really couldn't think of any other way to make Feng Wei talk. When a person's life is threatened, if you want to get information that could endanger their life, there's only one way: make them realize that if they don't talk, they'll die faster!

Although this method was cruel, Xu Yun still insisted on it. Catching the Red Scorpion earlier would mean everyone, including the taxi driver whose life was threatened, would be out of danger sooner.

Xu Yun also suspected that the Red Scorpion might kill the taxi driver to cover his tracks. What he was doing was also for the taxi driver's good.

Men should be tough. Once a decision is made, it should be carried out with all one's might.

"Think it over and tell me." Xu Yun walked to Feng Wei's side, slowly squatted down, and said calmly: "I've told you twice, I'm not a cop, and I don't have principles or rules. If you don't tell me, I'll kill you."

His voice was flat and toneless, but it carried a huge threat.

The words "I'll kill you" pierced Feng Wei's ears, and his trembling muscles couldn't hide his fear.

Xu Yun continued: "I'm looking for that person because I have a grudge against him. If you tell me where he is, you're helping me, and I won't harm those who help me. But if you don't tell me, you're helping him, and those who help him are my enemies. My enemies have only one path: death."

After saying this, Xu Yun pressed his finger into the ground in front of Feng Wei and, with a sudden force, pierced through the stone slab, burying his finger completely!

It was truly shocking. If not for the intense pain that reminded him he wasn't dreaming, he wouldn't have believed such a person could exist!

Feng Wei's voice trembled, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. Finally, he couldn't resist the threat to his life that Xu Yun brought.

"He... took a taxi, looking for... looking for Ma Pinghai!"

Ma Pinghai? A familiar name.

Xu Yun suddenly understood. Today, Dan Hongning had told him that Jin Biao wanted to invite them to dinner, mentioning the big bosses Wu Lei and Ma Pinghai.

So that's how it is...

"Is it him! The one who hit him is him!" A woman suddenly shouted sharply.

The village committee members and a group of men, armed with various farming tools, were running over from a distance. Xu Yun was startled. Damn! This was their territory, and they looked like they wouldn't stop until he was dead.

There was no time to think. Xu Yun thanked Feng Wei and quickly got into the Audi A6 to escape.

But the villagers were not to be trifled with. Someone had already swung a hoe at the car. Xu Yun heard a clang but didn't dare to stop, quickly fleeing from the dangerous resettlement community.

On the way back, Xu Yun called Dan Hongning.

"Brother Yun, what about that thing? The guy who came to report is waiting for a reply. Should I refuse him?" Dan Hongning said: "We've already had a falling out with Jin Biao, so there's no need to give him face."

Xu Yun smiled faintly: "No, agree to it. Tell him that Sister Shuang and I will definitely come tonight."

Dan Hongning was puzzled: "Okay, I'll tell them, but, Brother Yun... why do we need to give Jin Biao face?"

"I'm not going to see him." Xu Yun hung up after saying this ambiguous statement.

Dan Hongning could only tell himself that Brother Yun was profound and unfathomable. He didn't understand what he meant, but he would do whatever Brother Yun said. After all, Brother Yun had dared to go to Tuo Mountain and beat up Jin Biao, so he doubted Jin Biao would dare to do anything funny!

When one person rises, even the chickens and dogs ascend. Now, the hooligans in the South District were no longer the soft targets they used to be. Dan Hongning now had the courage to challenge any group of hooligans anywhere!

With Sister Shuang in charge, and Brother Yun and Sister Yan as the two main forces, even if they were caught by the police, Officer Qin would bail them out. This was an invincible combination.

...

When Xu Yun drove back to the herbal restaurant, Guo Guo had already finished school. Seeing Xu Yun get out of the car with a cool demeanor, Guo Guo looked at him with disdain: "Dad, did you go out to flirt? Brother Qiang said you've been out for two or three hours."

Xu Yun laughed and threw the car keys to Qiang, pinching Guo Guo's little cheek: "Without my obedient daughter's command, I wouldn't do such a wasteful thing. I'll only flirt with who you tell me to."

"Did you make any progress with Mom? I assumed you could flirt with Sister Wan, but you made no progress? I even helped you with Teacher Su, but you didn't do anything." Guo Guo looked disappointed: "Sigh, you're really embarrassing me. Are you planning to flirt with Sister Chou Yan?"

Bang!

Chou Yan flicked Guo Guo's forehead.

"Ouch!" Guo Guo winced in pain, but seeing Chou Yan's serious expression, he didn't dare to speak out of turn.

"Go do your homework." Chou Yan was the second person after Ruan Qing霜 (Ruan Qing霜 should be Ruan Qing Shuang) who could control Guo Guo.

Guo Guo stuck out his tongue and obediently went upstairs to do his homework.

Qiang suddenly shouted: "Brother Yun! Where did you drive the car? What... what happened? Who smashed the back door? There's such a big dent! Oh... my... new car!"

Xu Yun then remembered the loud thud when he was fleeing from the resettlement community. It turned out someone had hit the car with something.

"Uh, this..." Xu Yun looked at the aggrieved Qiang and laughed: "Don't be so petty. It's just a small dent. You won't notice it if you're not careful. Hahaha, the car is still fine, and you got a good deal."

Qiang pouted and pointed at the fist-sized dent: "Is this not noticeable? Sister Yan, you be the judge!"

Chou Yan turned and glanced at it, then coldly said: "Not noticeable." She then turned and went upstairs.

Xu Yun patted Qiang's shoulder: "See? We both can't see it, so it must be your eyes."

"You guys are too unfair..." Qiang's face was full of black lines.

Ruan Qing Shuang happened to come downstairs, and Xu Yun ignored Qiang: "We're not open tonight. You come with me to a dinner."

"A dinner?" Ruan Qing Shuang was surprised: "With who?"

"Uh, you don't know them." Xu Yun shrugged and smiled: "You'll see when we get there."
