Lin Chuan's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Protector, how about we make things a bit more exciting?"

"You... what do you want to do?!" Feng Taibao was instantly horrified.

Click, click...

Lin Chuan's hands swiftly moved over Feng Taibao's arms and palms, and a series of sounds from the joint movements resonated.

"Ah!!" Feng Taibao immediately screamed in agony.

That heart-wrenching scream almost made everyone at the scene bristle with goosebumps, their skin crawling. Each of them covered their ears, and some even dared not look directly. Feng Taibao's complexion turned deathly pale in an instant, his lips utterly bloodless.

"Alright." Lin Chuan released his arm.

Feng Taibao felt as if this arm no longer belonged to him, completely devoid of any sensation. He glanced at it and was stunned immediately. The joints all over his arm were dislocated by Lin Chuan. None were spared, all joints on his arm were horrifically dislocated.

"My God!" Several Hall Masters were dumbstruck as they watched the scene.

"How... how did he do that?" The underlings of the Thirteen Grand Protectors were astonished. They were not concerned about Feng Taibao's arm being dislocated, but were curious as to how Lin Chuan managed to do that. This maneuver truly instilled terror in them.

Feng Taibao bit his teeth as he manually snapped the dislocated joints back into place, all the joints painfully reconnected. But the agony was unimaginable, absolutely unbearable for an ordinary person. Clenching his teeth, he roared, "Lin Chuan, you little bastard, I will kill you!"

As he spoke, he swiftly pulled out a hidden weapon from his pocket, aimed with the speed of lightning, and pressed the trigger. Anyone suffering such pain and humiliation would seek revenge. And Feng Taibao? Always pampered and respected, encountering an unruly fellow like Lin Chuan, he was instantly furious.

"Chuan, be careful!" Zhou Kai, quick-eyed, dashed towards Lin Chuan.

Bang...

A crisp sound rang out, startling Lin Chuan. He was shocked not because Feng Taibao drew a hidden weapon, but because Zhou Kai jumped out to shield him.

Thud...

Without warning, the cold hidden weapon struck Zhou Kai's back.

Lu Dapao was shocked and hurriedly rushed over to snatch the hidden weapon from Feng Taibao's hand.

Bang...

Another crisp sound landed on Lu Dapao's chest.

The hidden weapon in Feng Taibao's hand resembled a bamboo stick, a unique weapon of the Tai Chi Sect. It contained six fine steel needles. Although not as powerful as a gun, its close-range lethality was no less formidable.

"Oh no, I'm going to die," Lu Dapao suddenly collapsed, clutching his chest.

"Not good." Zhao Zhonghai was aware of the severity of the situation and swiftly leapt over, his legs tapping off the ground several times.

Bang bang...

Feng Taibao completely lost his mind, grabbing the hidden weapon and firing continuously at Zhao Zhonghai.

"Xiao Kai, are you alright?" Lin Chuan hurriedly grabbed Zhou Kai.

"Damn, it feels like my back was seared with a hot iron," Zhou Kai's face turned pale as he quickly said, "Brother Chuan, the brothers can't be without you. You... you must hurry..."

With a bite, Lin Chuan swiftly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve as thin as a cicada's wing.

Whoosh...

The dagger was instantly thrown towards Feng Taibao's arm.

Swoosh...

The dagger sank three inches into the bone. Lin Chuan offered no courtesy this time. As soon as the dagger stuck, Feng Taibao was in immense pain. The hidden weapon fell from his hand. The dagger had penetrated into his bone. Swiftly, his brothers came over and said, "Protector, we should retreat!"

"Okay." Feng Taibao gritted his teeth, his arm severely injured. He needed to leave quickly.

It was a pity he hadn't killed Lin Chuan in that instant. Without Lin Chuan's death, Feng Taibao lost all hope. He had to leave quickly. By leaving now, he could still save his green mountains and rivers. As long as the green mountains remain, there would be wood to burn.

"Thinking of running!" Lin Chuan's face darkened.

He quickly pursued. At this moment, some of Feng Taibao's loyal subordinates clenched their teeth and said, "Cover Protector's retreat!"

Then, dozens of men immediately blocked the back door. Dozens of men risked their lives to cover Feng Taibao's retreat. Lin Chuan was furious. With one punch, a burly man was immediately knocked out cold, and even if he woke up, he'd at least have a concussion. Lin Chuan's punch was so powerful that even a bull could be knocked down instantly. Dozens of men surrounded Lin Chuan with the task of delaying time, not defeating him.

Lin Chuan was doggedly assaulted by dozens of men, while Feng Taibao hastily left from the back door, then hurriedly got into a black commercial vehicle and rapidly left Eight Horses Tea House.

By the time Lin Chuan took down those dozens of people, Feng Taibao had already vanished without a trace. In the hall, Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao were both shot, and Zhao Zhonghai hurriedly had people drive them to the hospital. Other people stayed at the scene.

Dudu dudu...

Police sirens wailed as they approached. The nearby civilians had already called the police.

The police responsible for the eastern district swiftly headed towards the Eight Horses Tea House, with Zhang Wenhui leading the team, but by the time they arrived, it was obviously too late. The scene was in disarray.

"Lin Chuan, you were impulsive again," Zhang Wenhui said with a bitter smile.

"I was forced to," Lin Chuan sighed and said, "I didn't want to, but I was pushed to this point."

"Can't you restrain yourself a bit?" Zhang Wenhui frowned.

"It's already over," Lin Chuan smiled.

"Ah, there is really no way to handle you," Zhang Wenhui said helplessly with a laugh.

After some simple statements and testimony, and because there were no reports, Zhang Wenhui gave Lin Chuan some verbal warnings and took the people away.

......

"Guard this place well for me," Lin Chuan said as he glanced at Huang Bo.

"Yes!" Huang Bo quickly nodded and said, "I guarantee I will complete the task."

Lin Chuan and Zhao Zhonghai then hurried to the hospital.

After some urgent surgeries, both men came out from the operation room. Fortunately, neither was seriously hurt; Lu Dapao had tough skin and muscles, the bullet had lodged into his bone. Zhou Kai's injuries were slightly more severe, with some damage to his spleen, requiring him to rest for a while.

"Luckily, it's nothing serious," Lin Chuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, the heavy stone on his heart finally settling down.

Zhao Zhonghai chuckled and said, "Not enough experience, should have worn a bulletproof vest in such a situation."

"Mhm," Lin Chuan nodded.

"After tonight, I'm afraid Feng Taibao will have no ground to stand in the eastern district anymore," Zhao Zhonghai smiled and said, "Congratulations brother for rising to the number two figure of the eastern district."

"It's all thanks to the brothers," Lin Chuan smiled.

The battle at Eight Horses Tea House once again made Lin Chuan famous in Jiangbei City.

In the past, not many in the Jiangbei City underworld knew Lin Chuan, even the battle that first made him famous, people only knew there was such a figure in the eastern district. But now, it was different, Lin Chuan's reputation had truly risen.

Qinghua Pool.

At past four in the morning, inside Hu's Northeast office, a group of people gathered together.

"Mr. Hu, now is the best time for us to act," a bearded man said anxiously.

The Northeast Tiger took a drag of his cigarette, his lean frame exuding an unrivaled demeanor as he squinted his eyes and leaned back on the couch with arms crossed, seemingly in deep thought. After a moment, Northeast Tiger asked, "Feng Taibao was defeated by Lin Chuan, driven out of the eastern district. Lin Chuan's two tough subordinates were injured?"

"Right," the bearded man immediately nodded, saying, "So, now is the best time to act."

Northeast Tiger waved his hand, saying, "But, Lin Chuan himself is unharmed, and those kids from Changlin Factory aren't much damaged either. It seems rushing into action now won't yield much advantage."

"Mr. Hu, we can't hesitate now," the bearded man urged.

"No," Northeast Tiger shook his head, "The life and death of Feng Taibao have nothing to do with me, but, I think we can take this opportunity to wholly plunder Feng Taibao's territory. Five bars under Feng Taibao, and a hotel. Heh heh..."

"Mr. Hu, Lin Chuan is as ferocious as a tiger or wolf," the bearded man said worriedly, "If we snatch Feng Taibao's territory now, Lin Chuan will eventually come after us to settle scores."

"Don't worry," Northeast Tiger laughed, "Lin Chuan can't make much of a difference, now is our time to completely eliminate the Thirteen Grand Protectors."

Soon, Northeast Tiger immediately gave the order. Brothers of the Tiger Gang swarmed out. The men of the Thirteen Grand Protectors were in disarray, and the youngsters guarding several bars saw the Tiger Gang's forces approaching and immediately ran out the back door of the bars. Eventually, Feng Taibao's territory was divided and occupied by the Tiger Gang and Lin Chuan.

That night, the police station of the eastern district was busy with frequent calls, catching a lot of people and detaining many. However, these people were just unimportant figures with no impact on the overall situation, all just scapegoats.

That night, even Li Jiangping personally led the forces in the eastern district to arrest people. It was the most chaotic night in Jiangbei City in many years.

The next morning at eight, everything was already decided.

In East River Villa Community.

Feng Taibao's arm had already been urgently treated, everything was not much of an issue, but a night had passed, and he suddenly became penniless. Although he still had money, he had completely lost the capital to compete for supremacy in Jiangbei City.
