Boss Lin, Let's Talk...

The Flat-top Youth's brow throbbed wildly.

Over the course of his career, he had fought quite a few vicious enemies, but this was the first time he had ever encountered a man who left his brothers completely unable to resist!

Su Rui's reaction speed, technique, and strength had far exceeded his imagination!

More importantly, this man carried an indifference toward life and an intensely thick aura of death—the invisible intimidation that only someone with blood on his hands could possess.

Even if he were thrown into the Dark Empire, where desperate criminals from all over the world gathered, he would still be among the very best!

Who exactly was this man?

Why had I never heard his name before?

"Come here."

Su Rui crooked a finger at the Flat-top Youth.

The Flat-top Youth silently took two steps back.

Yes, he was afraid.

From the strength Su Rui had displayed just now, he had keenly judged that even several versions of himself combined would be no match for Su Rui.

Money was certainly important, but compared to his life, it was still not worth mentioning.

He decided to abandon this mission.

Because if he forced himself to strike again, what awaited him would most likely be... death.

Having spent several years as a mercenary, he had a deeper understanding of death—and an even greater fear of the word "death."

"Trying to leave now? Isn't that a little late?"

Su Rui's steps were steady as he pressed forward step by step.

"We're just knives. Whoever holds the knife tells us who to stab, and that's who we stab." The Flat-top Youth retreated another two steps. Though he did not openly beg for mercy, the meaning between his words was obvious. "We have no grudge against each other. There's no point in taking it out on us."

"From the moment your men tried to lay a hand on her, we became enemies." Su Rui slightly raised his chin toward Li Ruobing, his gaze cold. "I can't even bear to touch her. Who the hell do you think you are?"

A whip kick so fast it was nearly unimaginable swept across the Flat-top Youth like a thousand-pound hammer.

Bang!

His body flew sideways and slammed directly into the left side of the GL8, crushing the car door inward by thirty centimeters!

The Flat-top Youth spat blood. His body felt as though it were falling apart, his chest tight and his breathing labored, his head buzzing.

Su Rui crouched down and searched around the Flat-top Youth's lower back, pulling out a jet-black, gleaming pistol.

"Heh... carrying something like this means I'd be acting in self-defense even if I shot you dead." Su Rui racked the slide and stuffed the gun into the Flat-top Youth's hand. "Or you can try shooting me dead right now, then flee to Tianya."

Li Ruobing found Su Rui's actions difficult to understand. The situation was clearly under control, so why hand the gun to the other man?

What if he resorted to desperate measures? How would they handle it then?

"Lin Jiatao, what did he tell you?" Su Rui asked with a smile.

"...We had to bring you back. If necessary, we could use some excessive measures." The Flat-top Youth swallowed a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood.

"Severe injury? Crippling?"

"...Crippling." The Flat-top Youth took a deep breath. "Lin Tianyou was badly hurt."

"Very good." Su Rui nodded.

The Flat-top Youth struggled to his feet and wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, but he did not dare touch the loaded pistol at all. His face was pale. "My brothers and I only did this for money. We're just knives in someone else's hand. Can you spare us?"

Su Rui coldly shook his head. The corner of his mouth curled slightly, like a demon baring its fangs.

"When this is over, I'll give you a wheelchair."

The Flat-top Youth's lips trembled. Hearing Su Rui's unquestionable words, his hands shook as though he had Parkinson's as he painfully gripped the pistol.

The muzzle slowly shifted, aiming at... his own knee.

"I never should've taken this job..." The Flat-top Youth gritted his teeth and roared. His face twisted with fear as he slowly pulled the trigger. "...!"

Yes, he regretted it!

This time, not only had the Flat-top Youth suffered losses, but he himself would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Earlier, he had said he would break Su Rui's legs and carry him back, that he would ruin Su Rui's life.

Now, Su Rui wanted his legs as well.

Fair enough.

The air froze in an instant.

"That's enough." If Li Ruobing had still felt anger before, it had now completely dissipated. Looking at the Flat-top Youth's miserable state, her voice was somewhat cool. "Seeing all this bloody mess before dinner is enough to ruin anyone's appetite."

Su Rui raised an eyebrow.

The Flat-top Youth felt as though he had been granted a pardon. His taut nerves suddenly relaxed.

The oppressive, icy atmosphere began to ease as well.

"Fine, since that's the case..." Su Rui shrugged. He heard the police siren drawing closer and said indifferently, "Let's make a deal. I'll let you leave unscathed."

"Okay! Okay!" Hearing this, the Flat-top Youth seemed to have survived a disaster. His entire body went limp in an instant. "Tell me!"

As long as he could leave unscathed, he would dare do anything.

"What do you think you can do to satisfy me?" Su Rui glanced sideways at the Flat-top Youth.

"..." The Flat-top Youth's gaze flickered, as if he were engaged in a fierce internal struggle. After a long while, he nodded heavily. "I understand!"

When the police car arrived, everything had already returned to calm.

The two GL8s had long since left the scene. Of all the Persons Involved, only Li Ruobing remained.

Everyone else had vanished without a trace.

The moment the Criminal Police Captain leading the team saw Li Ruobing, his head began to ache. Whenever a case involved a wealthy family, solving it became several times more difficult.

But regardless, they still had to follow procedure.

This was not merely a simple brawl. Once more than four people were involved, it constituted a violent criminal gang.

The nature of the case was completely different.

The Criminal Police Captain walked into Flourishing Tang's luxurious private room with great politeness, even some restraint. With a smile, he told Li Ruobing that he wanted to learn the specific details of what had happened.

But Li Ruobing said she knew nothing and had not been involved.

When the Criminal Police Captain asked the hotel to provide surveillance footage, he was told that the hotel system had been undergoing an upgrade and the cameras had not recorded the incident at all.

Left with no alternative, the Criminal Police Captain could only announce that they were wrapping up.

Meanwhile, a Pagani was heading toward City Center Hospital.

Su Rui's face was expressionless as he dialed a number.

"Hello, Boss Lin. Heh... let's talk."

The other end fell silent for a moment. Then an extremely gloomy voice rang out, carrying a faint sneer.

"Fine. Come over. I'll be waiting for you."
