Mu Jinyu finished speaking, then lifted his eyes to stare at Li Heshan, eager to see if he would take action to clean up his ranks now that he knew there was such a miscreant sabotaging the reputation of his subordinates.
And if Li Heshan still didn't take the hint after Mu Jinyu had spoken plainly, and if reason failed to convince, then courtesy would be set aside and force would follow!
Time to use his fists to explain the facts of life!
After listening, Li Heshan's expression turned stormy and uncertain.
Being in charge of this underground gambling den, he naturally often mingled in the gray areas.
But he had always despised and spit upon those who bullied orphans, widows, and the disabled!
If it were his ordinary subordinates, he would have summoned someone to break their limbs and then banish them from River City.
Yet, the thugs that Mu Jinyu mentioned, from their described clothing and appearance, he immediately guessed the identities of those who had troubled Mu Jinyu.
The blond thug who had caused trouble for Wen Rou, his cousin, was Brother Biao's girlfriend, after all.
Although the relationship wasn't too close, he was Brother Biao's uncle by marriage, otherwise, he wouldn't have been tossed to his side to pass the days.
Seeing Li Heshan's expression, Mu Jinyu knew he wouldn't take action to clean up the ranks.
Although he felt disappointed in his heart, he also found it quite normal and was about to ask for a clear statement, then use his fists to gently explain things to Li Heshan—
"Bang!!"
The door of Li Heshan's office was suddenly kicked open.
Mu Jinyu turned at the sound and saw the person entering was actually the same blond thug who had looked for trouble with Wen Rou yesterday.
"Heh…"
Mu Jinyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ah-Shan, Brother Biao mentioned that someone came to stir up trouble in our gambling den? He sent me to take care of it..."
The blond thug swaggered in after kicking open the door, not even bothering to glance at the people inside as he began talking to himself.
But halfway through, when he thought of how to torment the bastard who had come for trouble, excitement sparkled in his eyes. Then, waving his bandaged hand in the air, his gaze settled on Mu Jinyu who was watching him with an amused, yet not smiling, expression.
The words he had yet to finish about how to torment someone were immediately swallowed back down in fear upon seeing Mu Jinyu's face.
Seeing the devil's face that caused him a sleepless night just a blink away, the blond thug couldn't help but show a look of fear, and the hand wrapped in bandages seemed to start hurting again as he unconsciously took several steps backward.
But soon, the blond thug snapped back to reality.
This was his home turf, what was there to be afraid of?
"What are you doing here?!"
The blond thug mustered his courage, glaring fiercely at Mu Jinyu, and demanded.
Mu Jinyu said with a smile, "I came to make some extra cash, and incidentally, to deal with you!"
"You?!"
On hearing Mu Jinyu's words, the blond thug was truly infuriated.
Thinking how his hand had been injured by him and he hadn't yet settled the score, this guy actually dared to come looking for trouble again—the anger in his heart sizzled and steamed.
"Ah-Shan, this guy's tough, hurry and call some more people to subdue him, I want to take care of him myself later!"
The blond thug instructed Li Heshan.
He wasn't very respectful towards Li Heshan since he always felt he was Brother Biao's man, and Li Heshan was just another one of Brother Biao's subordinates, so they were on the same level.
Li Heshan saw the Blond Thug appear and the conflict that arose with Mu Jinyu, and he knew that the idea of convincing Mu Jinyu to leave before Brother Biao's arrival was impossible now.
He was also greatly annoyed by the Blond Thug's extremely disrespectful manner of address and the tone in which he gave orders. Under normal circumstances, he would have scolded him right away.
But knowing that Brother Biao would be coming soon, he thought it over and decided to swallow his anger.
"Thud thud thud!!"
Li Heshan didn't shout for the thugs waiting outside to come in and deal with Mu Jinyu, but they rushed in anyway, thinking that Mu Jinyu was going to harm Li Heshan, swarming into the room at once.
Right after, without waiting for Li Heshan to say anything, this group of muscular and ferocious strong men, armed with Swing Sticks and Electric Batons, launched an attack on Mu Jinyu.
Seeing this, Li Heshan couldn't say anything more.
He just silently lamented over the wasted gambling talent of Mu Jinyu.
But he decided that after Mu Jinyu's death, he would definitely not allow that Blond Thug to continue harassing the girl Mu Jinyu had wanted to protect.
The Blond Thug had already fled to the entrance, fearing that Mu Jinyu, unable to swallow his pride after being beaten up, would choose death over letting go and would risk injury to strike back at him, even while being hit.
Standing at the entrance, he saw Mu Jinyu surrounded by the strong men and let out a breath of relief, then his eyes revealed a malicious glee.
"The path to heaven lies before you, yet you refuse; there is no door to hell, yet you enter! Hahaha..."
After finishing his words, the Blond Thug couldn't help but burst out into a wild laugh, as if he could already see Mu Jinyu wailing miserably under the fists of his henchmen.
However, before his laughter lasted even a few seconds, the next scene made his smile freeze on his lips.
"Bang bang bang!!"
In front of the astonished and incredulous gazes of the Blond Thug and Li Heshan, they saw the group of strong men, upon rushing forward, being knocked out one by one by the punches and kicks of Mu Jinyu.
Then, like plasters on the wall, they stuck there firmly until, after ten seconds, they fell down like pictures blown off a wall by the wind.
"Looking at your unrepentant face, it seems you are still coveting Wen Rou! It appears I did not come here in vain to deal with this matter today!"
Mu Jinyu dusted off his hands, shaking away the grime, and said indifferently while looking at the Blond Thug, who was sweating profusely.
The Blond Thug swallowed hard and then quickly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy with his head bowing nonstop:
"Big Brother spare my life, I will never dare again, I will never have any improper thoughts toward Sister-in-law again, please spare my life!"
Li Heshan, upon witnessing this scene, had a complex look in his eyes and took a long time to collect himself.
In his heart, he secretly feared how close he had come to danger; fortunately, he had only tried to stabilize Mu Jinyu and, mindful of his remarkable gambling talent, still wanted him to leave to avoid falling victim to Brother Biao.
Otherwise, if he had been the kind of man greedy for credit and had tried to subdue Mu Jinyu before Brother Biao arrived, chances are he would be lying down as well by now!
As Mu Jinyu listened to the Blond Thug's knocking and begging, a cold smile on his lips, he was about to go over and give him a Bone Shattering Hand he would not forget, to ensure that he would never dare to harass Wen Rou again—
Outside the door, suddenly there came a series of steady and forceful footsteps.
Then, a crowd of burly men dressed in suits and wearing sunglasses appeared, escorting a plainly dressed but swaggeringly walking hulking man chomping on a cigar. It was none other than the hulking man, Ah-Biao, who Mu Jinyu had encountered during the car accident the other day and with whom he had obtained a Thousand-year Ginseng.
"Damn, what's with all this noise, someone kowtowing? Is it that troublemaking Card Shark from before?!"
Ah-Biao entered without looking closely, not seeing Mu Jinyu nor noticing that the person bowing incessantly with his back towards him was his own uncle; he offhandedly teased.
Upon hearing Ah-Biao's words, the Blond Thug felt like he had encountered a savior and immediately turned to shout:
"Brother Biao, save me!"
