My cousin-in-law helped me achieve my ambitions.

Brother Fei Ma, along with eight thugs wielding steel pipes, caught up with him and cornered him in the alley.

"Run, why did you stop?" Pegasus grinned as he approached. "Kid, today I'm going to cripple one of your legs to teach you a lesson!"

He waved his hand, and several thugs surrounded him with steel pipes.

Su Ming gripped the steel pipe tightly, his eyes still fierce.

"It doesn't matter. I've always wanted to fight you to the death, and now that I have nowhere to run, I can go all out." Su Ming smiled coldly, got into a fighting stance, and prepared to fight to the death. He knew that if he really fought to the death, he might not lose, but there was a very high probability that both sides would be seriously injured. But his opponents had pushed him to this point, and now he had no other choice.

Just then—a cell phone rang.

The ringtone was unique; it was Nokia's default ringtone.

Su Ming was startled and looked down. His phone had somehow slipped out of his pocket and was lying on the ground, its screen lit up, displaying two words: Cousin-in-law.

Before he could react, Brother Pegasus had already stepped on the phone, shattering the screen and stopping the ringtone, but the call still went through.

"Hello, Su Ming, is this Su Ming?" Cousin Qiu Tong called out anxiously.

"Sister-in-law, I've offended some people from the Hunan gang in the alley on the east side of Snake Hill Industrial Zone..." Su Ming quickly gave his address. He knew that the man behind his sister-in-law could definitely handle this.

"You're about to die and you're still answering the phone?" Pegasus angrily stomped on the phone again, this time silencing it completely. Then he waved his hand and said, "Call it again!"

The steel pipes fell like raindrops.

Su Ming used his hands to deflect the steel pipes that were being hurled at him, and occasionally retaliated with a couple of blows.

Qiu Tong held her phone, her face as pale as paper.

The call connected, and then she heard Su Ming's cries for help on the other end before hanging up.

She was extremely worried.

However, her worries seemed somewhat unnecessary; at least Su Ming was safe for now.

At that moment, he was fighting back and forth with the group of thugs. He would occasionally get hit, but he could also hit them back, and the two sides were deadlocked. However, after fighting for a while, the group of thugs wielding steel pipes became a little scared and retreated to the side after being injured.

"A bunch of useless trash, let me handle this!" Brother Pegasus stepped forward personally, wielding a large machete.

Without wasting words, Su Ming directly raised his stick and charged forward. The steel pipe and the knife clashed head-on, making a clanging sound as they fought back and forth.

With a "rip," Su Ming's clothes were torn open, his stomach was ripped open, and blood gushed out.

Meanwhile, the steel pipe he was carrying struck Pegasus on the shoulder. Pegasus cried out "Ouch!" and took a step back, using one hand to hold his sword against the forward motion and the other to support his shoulder.

"Brother Pegasus, are you alright?" A thug approached with concern, carrying a steel pipe.

"Damn it, come at me all at once! No matter how good this kid is, can he take on five or six at the same time?" Pegasus angrily shouted at his men, and the thugs, each carrying a steel pipe, crept forward.

Meanwhile, in the rented room.

Qiu Tong was on the verge of collapse.

"Su Ming! Su Ming!" she shouted into the phone, but there was no response.

Qiu Tong trembled all over, her mind blank.

She remembered that Su Ming had a history of having affairs with the Hunan gang, and initially wanted to call the police immediately, but quickly put her phone away. She knew it might be too late to call the police, and she also knew about the Hunan gang's influence in the area; by the time the police arrived, Su Ming might already be dead.

Her hands were trembling, and her heart was pounding so hard she felt like she was going to faint.

But she quickly forced herself to calm down.

With trembling hands, she flipped through her contacts and found the number she least wanted to dial, but which was the only useful number at that moment.

Note: Liu Sheng (Jiang Jian's driver).

She took a deep breath and pressed the dial button.

The phone rang twice and was answered.

"Feed?" A deep, calm male voice came from the other end.

Qiu Tong's voice trembled, but every word was crystal clear: "Mr. Liu, my cousin Su Ming is in trouble. In the old alley east of Snake Mountain Industrial Zone, the Hunan gang wants to kill him. Please... save him."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, the voice remained calm and said only one word: "Okay, I'll come pick you up in ten minutes to rescue people."

Dead end.

Su Ming was covered in blood and sweat, his clothes soaked through, and he seemed to have no strength left to fight. On Fei Ma's side, six people had also been knocked down, and Fei Ma himself had been hit twice with a stick, but he had the advantage of having more people and that his injuries were not serious, so he still had the strength to continue fighting.

Su Ming leaned against the wall, covered in blood and sweat. His vision was blurred, but his eyes were still open, staring intently at Pegasus in front of him.

"You bastard, you're really good at fighting! I brought fifteen men, and you almost wiped them all out." Pegasus, carrying a machete, slowly approached, grinning smugly. "Go ahead and fight!"

"What do you want?" Su Ming asked coldly, staring directly at him. "If you seriously injure me, I will not let you off easily."

"Kid, you've got guts, huh?" He squatted down and patted Su Ming's face with the back of his knife. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll just cripple one of your legs so you'll remember for the rest of your life who you can mess with and who you can't."

He stood up and raised his machete.

Su Ming's eyes widened, his hand gripping the steel pipe tighter, ready for a final counterattack. Unless he was killed, the retaliation would never cease.

However, at that moment, a blinding beam of light suddenly shone in from the alley entrance.

Those are car lights.

Two beams of bright light tore through the darkness.

Everyone involuntarily squinted and turned to look.

At the alley entrance, a black Audi A6 stood silently parked.

The headlights were blinding, making it impossible to see inside; only a blurry outline could be made out.

Pegasus's expression changed instantly.

He didn't know who the person was, but upon seeing the brand-new Audi A6, he knew that the other party was no ordinary person. When he took a closer look at the license plate of the car, he was even more terrified.

Throughout the entire Snake Mountain Industrial Zone, and even on the streets of Donghai City, no other big shot has such a lucky license plate with five consecutive leopards (three consecutive leopards). The person who came today must be a super big shot who has held a high position for a long time.

The car door opened.

A young man in a white shirt, carrying a briefcase, came downstairs.

He walked slowly and steadily, his leather shoes making a soft "tap-tap" sound on the ground. His shirt was snow-white, without a speck of dust, making him stand out in the dirty, dimly lit alley.

He walked up to Pegasus and stood in front of him.

The dim light fell on his face, a young and indifferent face, his eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.

He looked at Brother Pegasus and spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears: "I am Jiang Jian's driver."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Pegasus's pale face, and continued, "If you don't understand, you can call your boss."

The alley was deathly silent.

Just moments ago, Pegasus was all arrogant, but now his face was ashen, his lips trembled, and the machete in his hand clattered to the ground.

His legs buckled and he knelt down with a thud.

Then, he started slapping himself.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Every strike was loud and powerful.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I was blind! I didn't know she was Mr. Jiang's person! I'm so sorry!"

The group of thugs behind him trembled with fear and knelt down as well.
