The Northeast Tiger was a bit puzzled, why did Lin Chuan suddenly come to find him? What on earth was it about?

"Could it be that he's here to negotiate with big brother?" Qiu Wuming curiously asked.

"Negotiate what?" The Northeast Tiger said in a bad mood: "Because of Long Wu's incident, we have borne an eternal infamy, and now Song Ming is even intending to distance himself from us, while our reputation in the underworld is getting worse and worse. Do you guys have any solutions?"

"Big brother, let's meet Lin Chuan first." The big-bearded man spoke up.

"Fine." The Northeast Tiger nodded.

Before long, led by two men in black suits, Lin Chuan entered the office of the Northeast Tiger.

The office was brightly lit, and the three highest-ranking brothers of the Northeast Tiger were gathered inside. The big-bearded man and Qiu Wuming sat on the left and right sides of the Northeast Tiger, respectively. All three faced the door and as soon as the door opened, their gazes uniformly turned to Lin Chuan.

The Northeast Tiger revealed a smirk not quite genuine: "Lin Chuan, you're here?"

Lin Chuan walked over nonchalantly and sat down on the sofa directly opposite the Northeast Tiger. In the past, let alone the Northeast Tiger, even the two fellows in black suits behind him would have hurled angry reproaches at Lin Chuan, scolding him for disrespecting Mr. Hu. But now, no one dared to speak that way. Because in their minds, Lin Chuan was already considered their boss.

"Mr. Hu, I came today to find Song Hao." Lin Chuan sat down, lit a cigarette, and then spoke.

"If you're looking for Song Hao, just find Song Hao, why come to me?" The Northeast Tiger asked curiously.

"Song Hao colluded with you, this time he sent several men to deal with me." Lin Chuan took a drag of his cigarette, saying: "I strung them up in the East River to feed them to the leeches."

Hisss...

The three men couldn't help shuddering at this vile act of Lin Chuan's. Using living people as food for leeches might not lead to death, but the leeches in the East River Pier are extremely vicious. It is said that a cow once fell into the water, and when it was pulled out the next day, half of its body was eaten by the leeches. The agony those live men must have suffered, being hung in the water and fed to leeches, was too painful even for the Northeast Tiger to contemplate without his scalp tingling.

"This has nothing to do with me." The Northeast Tiger quickly distanced himself from the matter, saying: "I had no idea about this at all."

"It doesn't matter, you help me call Song Hao over." Lin Chuan took another puff of his cigarette.

"What the hell do you think you are?" The big-bearded man immediately refused to comply, cursing: "You got a problem, you go find Song Hao, why the hell are you coming to us?"

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I'm asking for you guys, what about it?!"

Provocation!

This was naked provocation!

The big-bearded man couldn't contain his anger and was about to step forward to clash with Lin Chuan. Even if he was no match for Lin Chuan, he was determined to put up a fight. A man cannot lose his dignity, for once that is gone, and one becomes spineless, they will be trampled on without being able to move.

At this moment, the Northeast Tiger stopped the big-bearded man: "Second brother, don't be rash."

"Big brother, this brat is counting on us having no one." The big-bearded man was furious.

"Does he even need to be told whether we have anyone or not?" The Northeast Tiger's words puzzled the big-bearded man. Was it indicating they had people or not? From an outsider's perspective, could the Northeast Tiger actually be lacking in men? Over two hundred core disciples, each highly skilled, plus a large number of peripheral supporters, enabled the Northeast Tiger to have a unique influence in the eastern district of Jiangbei City. Perhaps even throughout Jiangbei City, no faction dared to confront the Northeast Tiger. Yet in Lin Chuan's eyes, what use was it for the opponent to have many people? Weren't they all inferior to Lin Chuan's fists? Champion of all under heaven.

"Mr. Hu, hurry up and call Song Hao here." Lin Chuan said.

The Northeast Tiger thought for a moment and said to Qiu Wuming, "Third brother, since this matter began with Song Hao, let Song Hao end it."

After giving it some thought, Qiu Wuming instantly understood what the big brother meant; essentially, they were going to abandon Song Hao. Truth be told, Song Hao himself hadn't made any substantial contributions; he had failed to persuade his father many times and couldn't act as a bridge between himself and Song Ming. Therefore, Qiu Wuming immediately grasped why the big brother wanted to abandon Song Hao.

Qiu Wuming immediately picked up his phone and made a call to Song Hao.

Song Hao rushed to Qinghua Pool, and when he entered Mr. Hu's office, he immediately felt a heavy atmosphere. He did not first see Lin Chuan, but instead noticed the faces of the Northeast Tiger, the big-bearded man, and Qiu Wuming the three sect leaders under Mr. Hu.

"Yo, all the big brothers are here?" Song Hao was taken aback and smiled. He hastily took out cigarettes, ready to offer them.

The few people ignored Song Hao, remaining silent.

Just as Song Hao walked over, he immediately saw Lin Chuan seated on the sofa with his back towards him. His expression suddenly soured. Song Hao hastily said, "Lin... Lin Chuan, what are you doing here? This isn't a place for you to be."

"Where I go or come to is not for you to worry about, right?" Lin Chuan bluntly retorted.

A single sentence immediately left Song Hao speechless. In fact, Song Hao had a guilty conscience and was quite fearful of meeting Lin Chuan. He didn't know whether those three guys had made their move. If they hadn't, that would be fine. But if they had, seeing Lin Chuan at this moment would surely mean they had failed. Lin Chuan's visit today was definitely for retribution.

Gulp...

Song Hao swallowed his saliva and pondered for a moment before he sat down on the sofa nearby.

"Mr. Hu, what brings you here today to look for me... what's the matter?" Song Hao felt a bit hot and tugged at his collar forcefully.

"I don't know either." Mr. Hu shook his head, then said with a smile, "Today, it's not me looking for you, but Lin Chuan looking for you."

"Ah?!" Song Hao was stunned, looking at Lin Chuan with a puzzled face.

"Song Hao, stop pretending," said Lin Chuan. "Let's be frank, today three people came to trouble me, guns in hand. Did you have anything to do with this?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Song Hao quickly argued, saying, "Just because someone troubles you, you can't just pin it on me, can you?"

"So, it wasn't you?" Lin Chuan asked back.

"Lin Chuan, although I hate you, I don't hate you enough to want you dead," Song Hao said with a smile. "Besides, I have no interest in dealing with you."

"However, those three guys said something different," Lin Chuan said with disdain.

"They said it was me so it's me?" Song Hao sneered. "There are many people who hold grudges against me; if anyone could set me up, would I have to take the fall for them? I'm not carrying that kind of black mark."

Lin Chuan had never intended to make Song Hao admit anything; even if Song Hao had admitted it, it wouldn't change how he could react. At most he would punish him symbolically, and he certainly wouldn't actually do anything serious, would he?

"Song Hao, you know best whether or not you did it," Lin Chuan smiled and continued, "But I truly feel that your five million was not well spent. Spending five million to hire three third-rate assassins, tsk tsk, it seems your father has really earned quite a fortune over these past decades."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Song Hao bellowed angrily.

"I'm giving you a warning here today," Lin Chuan stood up and said, "This is your second attempt on my life; there is a limit to everything. If you dare try a third time, I will definitely make you regret it."

"You!" Song Hao was enraged.

Lin Chuan paid no mind to the other party's attitude and simply turned and left.

Dealing with someone like Song Hao took no effort at all, but if he dared to threaten the safety of those around Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan would not hesitate to teach him a lesson. It was necessary and inevitable.

After Lin Chuan left, Song Hao cursed, "Damn it, a petty clown, a pauper, what's so great about him, really thinks he's a hero, dare to boss others around. Mr. Hu, can you stand to watch this?"

Mr. Hu glanced at Song Hao and said, "Mr. Song, Lin Chuan is not easy to deal with."

"I know," Song Hao said irritably, "But we can't just let someone like him yell at us, can we?"

"What would you like to do?" Mr. Hu asked with a smile.

Song Hao was so angry he was grinding his teeth, and he said through clenched teeth, "With my temper, I should teach him a lesson."

"If Mr. Song has a good plan, just say it," Mr. Hu said with a smile.

In fact, Mr. Hu was also at his wits' end with Lin Chuan. A few days ago, they even sought out someone who claimed to be a formidable assassin. Though he didn't know whether it was true or not, at least the guy was stronger than the bearded man. But still, the three of them couldn't handle Lin Chuan and were completely unable to touch him. Since then, Mr. Hu had lost all confidence in dealing with Lin Chuan. He really didn't know how capable Lin Chuan was to be able to fend off even such assassins.

"I..." Song Hao was momentarily at a loss for words.

They had already tried mob tactics, and Lin Chuan and his twenty some accomplices were able to completely rout the group; elite soldiers and assassins were also useless against Lin Chuan. With Lin Chuan's skills, he instead beat them till they fled in disarray; covert operations troops, assassins, all those who operate in the shadows had been tried, but alas, they were of no use.

Song Hao really couldn't think of a better strategy.

"Mr. Song, if I were you, I would find a way to let your own father take action," Mr. Hu started to laugh.

"Why?" Song Hao quickly asked.

"In this world, what's the hardest thing to deal with?" Mr. Hu revealed a sly grin and said, "Of course, it's the government. If someone dares to interfere with the government's interests, there will definitely be a large number of troops coming to suppress them. Lin Chuan might be formidable, but even if he were a god, he would ultimately fall at the hands of the government, don't you think?"
