Inside the Yanlong Auto Repair Shop.
Lu Yan had spent the night at the shop.
He stood at the window of the second-floor office, looking down at the crowd of onlookers packed along the sidewalk.
Song Xiao Hui stood quietly behind Lu Yan, unsure how her boss would handle this matter.
“Yan Ge, it’s done.”
Suddenly, Ruan Mei pushed the door open and walked in, holding a large piece of paper rolled up in her hand.
“Finished?”
Lu Yan was delighted to hear Ruan Mei’s voice.
“Take a look.”
Ruan Mei unrolled the paper, a standard A1 size sheet.
It printed a death report for Ba Bi, written in bold lettering.
The cause of death section was circled in red ink.
“Good.”
Seeing that everything was in place, Lu Yan was ready to confront those troublemakers, the Triads.
Lu Yan didn't like the Triads, but as long as they didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't bother with them.
But now that they had come, he would make them pay.
Song Xiao Hui saw Ba Bi's death report and finally understood what Lu Yan was planning.
It was typical of Lu Yan.
Although they hadn't known each other long, Song Xiao Hui had a good sense of her boss.
He repaid kindness and avenged wrongs.
Lu Yan was never the type to let things slide.
If anyone dared to cause trouble, he would retaliate.
Moreover, Lu Yan was a bit protective, especially towards those who were good to him, regardless of gender.
This made Song Xiao Hui admire him.
In this chaotic world, such bosses were rare.
Most business people were afraid of trouble, especially from gangs.
Lu Yan was different. He defied the norm and treated everyone equally.
Whoever caused trouble, he would strike back, never showing mercy!
That's what it meant to fight back against a hundred punches with a single punch.
…
“The door is open!”
A group of Triads saw the Yanlong Auto Repair Shop finally open and surged forward, but they didn't step inside.
The reason was simple.
Thirty repair workers, dressed in blue work uniforms, stood in a neat row, each wielding an oversized wrench. They faced the Triads, their eyes fixed on them, like a pack of wolves.
People are like that, bullies only pick on the weak.
The onlookers were surprised, then excited.
They knew it. How could a shop this big, in this prime location, not have some muscle behind it?
“Boss!”
As Lu Yan walked up, the repair workers shouted respectfully, their voices in unison, as if they were an army.
These workers had indeed undergone a month of military training.
In Lu Yan's eyes, discipline came before everything else.
Only then could he better manage his ever-growing team.
Anyway, their treatment was excellent, so a little hardship was nothing.
When they could make money, everything else was negotiable.
People are that simple.
Song Xiao Hui and Ruan Mei followed closely behind Lu Yan.
One man and two women, handsome and beautiful, they drew everyone's attention.
Many were surprised to see that the boss of Yanlong Auto Repair was so young, only in his early twenties.
Was he a rich kid?
Many had this thought.
The Triads were no exception.
They knew that some people were off-limits.
However, thinking of the orders from Liang Kun, they felt no hesitation.
Anyone Liang Kun wanted to target probably wouldn't have any serious background.
“Justice for Ba Bi! Justice for Ba Bi!”
“Hand over the killer of Ba Bi! Hand over the killer of Ba Bi!”
…
Suddenly, the Triads erupted in noise, filled with anger, as if the Yanlong Auto Repair workers had really killed Ba Bi.
The onlookers, seeing this, retreated quickly, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
“Silence!”
A thunderous roar came from behind the Triads.
“It’s Tai Zi?!”
The Triads, upon hearing this, immediately reacted and quickly parted to the sides, creating a path.
Tai Zi strode forward, chest puffed out.
He knew that if this continued, the police would come, and the situation would escalate.
“I'm Tai Zi.”
Tai Zi stood before Lu Yan, about four meters apart, and said, “Ba Bi was one of us, a member of the Hong Xing. I want an explanation.”
“Tai Zi?”
Lu Yan shook his head and said, “Tell your Jiang Tian Sheng to come talk to me. I won't let this go so easily.”
“You?!”
Tai Zi’s eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't expect this seemingly mild-mannered guy, Lu Yan, to be so defiant.
“Xiao Mei.”
Lu Yan called out.
“I'm here, Yan Ge.”
Ruan Mei responded and pasted Ba Bi's printed death report onto a billboard, which three repair workers held up.
Even those ten meters away could clearly see what it said.
The three workers, together, lifted the heavy billboard to Lu Yan’s side, holding it high.
“This is Ba Bi's death report. He died of a heart attack, nothing to do with us.”
Lu Yan said coldly.
“Really, died of a heart attack…”
Anyone who wasn't blind could see the cause of Ba Bi’s death:
Sudden heart attack, CPR ineffective, deceased!
Seeing this, Tai Zi furrowed his brows. He didn't expect Lu Yan to be so prepared.
“Tai Zi Ge, they beat up Ba Bi, that’s why he had a heart attack!”
A Triad yelled angrily.
“How do you explain this?”
Tai Zi looked at Lu Yan, smiling slyly.
“Then wait for the forensic examination.”
Lu Yan said, unafraid.
“You want to stall for time?”
Tai Zi sneered.
“Alright, everyone disperse.”
Lu Yan ignored Tai Zi and the Triads. Justice would prevail.
He had evidence, while Tai Zi and his crew were just making empty accusations.
“Humph!”
Seeing Lu Yan ignore him, Tai Zi snorted coldly and rushed forward, taunting, “I heard your grappling skills are pretty good. I wonder if they live up to the hype?!”
“Yan Ge, behind you!”
Seeing Lu Yan turn around, his back to the charging Tai Zi, Song Xiao Hui shouted.
“Overconfident!”
Lu Yan sneered.
“Military Fist, Step Right Punch!”
With a roar, Lu Yan spun around, took a step, and unleashed a punch.
“No good?!”
Tai Zi had already swung a punch at Lu Yan, but this sudden attack made him feel uneasy.
With no choice, he had to fight back.
“Boom!”
The two fists collided, and a shockwave erupted.
“You’re an internal martial arts master?!”
Tai Zi staggered back several steps before regaining his balance, staring at Lu Yan in disbelief.
“You're not any different.”
Lu Yan never moved a step. He stood as steady as a mountain, like a grandmaster, looking down at Tai Zi.
Tai Zi, as a Hong Xing war god, was indeed no ordinary person.
He had at least reached the mid-level of the After Heaven Realm.
At this moment, Lu Yan confirmed that this Hong Kong movie world, infused with comic book elements, was not just a simple movie.
It was something more.
“Let's go!”
Tai Zi, unwilling to accept defeat, roared and turned to leave.
He knew, in a one-on-one fight, he was no match for Lu Yan.
Lu Yan didn't stop Tai Zi and his men from leaving.
“Use Misfortune Card (Small)!”
Lu Yan thought to himself, and a wisp of black energy quietly seeped into Tai Zi’s back of the head.
“I wonder how effective it will be?”
Lu Yan was looking forward to seeing how the Misfortune Card would affect Tai Zi.
Although he only had one Misfortune Card for now, he should be able to acquire more later.
