The 14K members had already spotted the people playing cards under the lamppost, but they didn't pay them any mind. Their orders were to keep an eye on the family of an old man named Song Chengqi who lived here, find out their exact address, and then wait for further instructions from above.

The people under the lampposts suddenly threw down their cards and strode towards them. They weren't idiots; realizing something was wrong, they grabbed their weapons and turned to leave from the end of the street. But as soon as they turned, they saw that Fish Ming from the end of the street had already lined up with six or seven of his men, blocking their way.

"It's one of Lao Fu's men!" A 14K henchman recognized Fish Ming, who was holding a watermelon knife and looking menacing under the moonlight, and exclaimed in surprise.

The leader of the five, gripping a Japan Type 30 Bayonet with a handguard, decisively ordered, "Charge forward! There are fewer people up ahead!"

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and went to meet A-Mao and his group who were walking quickly towards him. He pulled back his bayonet to gather strength, waiting for the two sides to collide so that he could stab them in the chest and take down one of the opponents to boost morale!

He took the lead, followed closely by four others. By sheer accident, they formed a small diamond-shaped formation. When A-Mao and his men saw the enemy coming towards them, they all raised their knives. However, the 14K leader in the lead had his military knife ready. When the two sides clashed, A-Mao had just swung his knife in a circle and hadn't even brought it down when the leader's military knife had already plunged straight into A-Mao's abdomen!

After successfully slashing him, he didn't hesitate. He simply pulled out his sword and kicked the stabbed A-Mao away. At this moment, his four henchmen rushed forward and blocked the men next to A-Mao who were trying to swing their knives at him!

"Brother Wing, you go first!" Several men helped him block the others, and one of them urged him to leave quickly because Fish Ming had already led his men from the end of the street and pounced on them.

The leader, Brother Wing, wasn't in a hurry. He used his military dagger repeatedly, quickly injuring two more men, greatly reducing the pressure on his four subordinates. Just as Fish Ming and his group were less than ten meters away, he knocked down A-Mao and the others. Only then did Brother Wing say, "Let's go together! Run fast!"

The five men sprinted forward, with Fish Ming chasing desperately behind. His face was ashen. He had led a dozen or so henchmen and had even devised a plan to ambush them, yet the five of them had taken down A-Mao and the others in a five-on-five fight, while the five of them escaped unscathed.

If they really escape, once word gets out after tonight, Fish Ming will never be able to make a living in the underworld again. He won't be afraid of being laughed at by others, and Golden-Tooth Lei will also deal with him, blaming him for making Fuyixing lose face!

With less than 100 meters from the street, it would be difficult to catch the five men once they reached the street and fled in different directions. Just then, a Ford 49 turned from the street onto Tai Wo Street.

The car headlights shone brightly, illuminating the two groups of people who were running and chasing each other.

The car contained Song Tianyao, who had just finished paying Xianyu Shuan at the funeral home and was heading home to rest, along with Rotten-Life Ju and his three henchmen.

"Someone's causing trouble on this street, do you know them?" Song Tianyao parked his car on the street, put his hands on the steering wheel, and turned to look at his Rotten-Life Ju car with a half-smile, teasingly.

Using the light from the roadside gas lamppost, Rotten-Life Ju, with one hand on the car door handle and the other on his waist, stared at the two groups of people running towards him and said calmly, "I know them. The one running ahead is Bayonet Wing, who frequents the Mong Kok area of the 14K. The one chasing behind is Fish Ming, who operates in Yau Ma Tei Fuyixing. They are both somewhat well-known figures in the Kowloon underworld. It must be the 14K who suddenly appeared on Tai Wo Street. The Fuyixing people are helping to look after Secretary Song's family. The three of you get out of the car with me and help the Fuyixing people stop Bayonet Wing."

After saying that, Rotten-Life Ju opened the car door and got out. In his left hand, there was a gleaming, sharp knife. Under the multi-angle light from the moonlight, lampposts, and car headlights, it looked as if Rotten-Life Ju was holding a sliver of cold moonlight.

"A few more?" Brother Wing, who was being closely chased by Fish Ming, sighed in frustration. "There are only four. Let's rush at them together, steal that car, and escape!"

He still gripped his bayonet, poised to strike, and charged straight at the Rotten-Life Ju stood five steps in front of the carriage, its position neither quite right nor wrong. His eyes flashed with ferocity, and his expression was savage.

Unfortunately, the Rotten-Life Ju was not A-Mao, whom he had stabbed earlier, but Shuanghua Double Red Pole, a member of the Chao Yong Yi Wharf. When Brother Wing's bayonet was about to stab Rotten-Life Ju in the chest, Rotten-Life Ju made a quick step forward and at the same time swung his knife. He was faster than Lanmingju and the knife was already there. Bayonet Wing not only missed, but also allowed Rotten-Life Ju to get close to him and put the blade of his knife against his carotid artery.

"If you move again, I'll bleed you out," said Rotten-Life Ju without expression.

"Clang!" Bayonet Wing was quick to react, immediately subdued by his opponent. Knowing that even if he wanted to strike again, he couldn't outrun the knife already pressed against his neck, he simply let go and threw away the bayonet. "Brother, I'm from 14K. I'm here tonight to see a friend, not to overstep my bounds."

At this moment, Fish Ming was chasing behind, had also arrived with his men. When he saw that it was Chao Yong Yi's Rotten-Life Ju had blocked their way, Fish Ming's face darkened and he did not step forward. Instead, he stood a few steps away with his men, gritting his teeth and panting heavily.

When Bayonet Wing's four henchmen saw that he had been subdued, they threw down their weapons and stopped fighting, obediently admitting defeat and panting heavily on the side.

"Bringing weapons to see a friend? Who's your friend?" Rotten-Life Ju asked, staring into Bayonet Wing's eyes.

Bayonet Wing smiled nonchalantly, "My friend lives on the second floor of Building 9 on Tai Wo Street. His name is Song Chunliang."

Song Tianyao, who was watching the show from his car window with great interest, was initially looking forward to a close-up fight scene before bed. However, upon hearing the scoundrel say he was visiting a friend named Song Chunliang, his face immediately turned even darker than Fish Ming's. He opened the car door, got out, and asked Bayonet Wing, "Who's your friend?"

"Song Chunliang." Bayonet Wing sensed that something was amiss, but the words were already out, and it was too late to regret them. He could only continue.
