Why leave?
Following the address provided by Yang Tianchen, Qin Feng drove all the way to an abandoned factory in the suburbs of the neighboring city.
Around the perimeter of the factory, a dozen men in black were patrolling back and forth. Each one looked fierce and menacing, obviously not up to any good.
Qin Feng let out a cold sneer. Did this group of small fries really think they could stop him?
He slipped into the factory silently, relying on his extraordinary martial arts and sharp perception to bypass all surveillance cameras and patrol guards.
Deep inside the factory, inside a warehouse, Qin Feng found Long Xiaotian tied to a chair.
At this moment, Long Xiaotian was covered in injuries and his clothes were tattered. His face and body were marred by bloodstains, clearly having suffered inhuman torture.
Upon seeing Qin Feng, Long Xiaotian’s previously dim eyes suddenly burst with a brilliant light.
"Brother Qin, you've finally come!"
Qin Feng strode forward, untied the ropes binding Long Xiaotian, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Long, who did this?"
Long Xiaotian stretched his muscles and bones, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "It was that good half-brother of mine! They set a trap, lured me here, and then had people subject me to brutal interrogation, trying to extract the trade secrets of the Longteng Group!"
"Long Aotian?" A flash of cold light crossed Qin Feng's eyes. "Such unmitigated gall!"
Long Xiaotian took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice, "Brother Qin, I’ve stumbled this time, but I won’t let them off! Rest assured, once we get back, I will properly reward you!"
Qin Feng patted Long Xiaotian on the shoulder, feigning anger, "Brother Long, if you talk like that, I'm leaving right now!"
If he, Qin Feng, had come to save someone just for a reward, people would truly look down on him.
Long Xiaotian realized his words had been slightly ambiguous and immediately wanted to explain.
At that very moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the warehouse.
"Not good! They're coming!"
Long Xiaotian’s expression shifted, and he said in a low voice, "Brother Qin, you should go first, don't worry about me!"
"Go? Why should I go?" A cold smile curved the corners of Qin Feng's mouth. "Since they're here, none of them are leaving!"
As the words fell, the warehouse doors were kicked open, and a dozen burly men wielding clubs charged in aggressively.
The man in the lead was heavily built, with a fierce, scarred face and a vicious gaze. He was clearly a dangerous character at a glance.
His eyes swept over Qin Feng and Long Xiaotian, and he sneered, "I didn't expect you to have backup. But today, none of you are leaving this place alive!"
A flash of cold light flickered in Qin Feng's eyes, and a playful smile touched his lips. "Is that so? I'd like to see who gave you the courage to utter such words."
The leading man frowned, clearly not expecting Qin Feng to remain so arrogant under the circumstances. With a wave of his hand, the dozen burly men behind him brandished their clubs and rushed toward Qin Feng and Long Xiaotian.
"Brother Long, you're badly hurt, step back."
Qin Feng shielded Long Xiaotian behind him, his gaze turning stern as a sharp, formidable aura erupted from his body.
"You think this rabble can hurt me?"
Qin Feng sneered, his figure darting through the crowd like a ghost. Every strike he delivered was accompanied by a miserable scream.
The sound of snapping bones echoed throughout the warehouse.
Qin Feng's attacks were ruthless and fatal. In just a few breaths, all dozen burly men had collapsed to the ground, howling endlessly.
Seeing this, the burly leader's face instantly turned ashen.
Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that this seemingly frail young man possessed such terrifying martial arts.
"You... exactly who are you?"
The man asked, masking his inner terror with a show of bravado.
"You are not worthy of knowing my name."
Qin Feng walked step by step toward the burly leader.
"You... what do you want? I warn you, I'm a captain of the Black Snake Organization! If you dare touch me, their boss will never let you off!"
The man shouted in terror.
Qin Feng looked down at the man from above, the smile on his lips carrying a bone-chilling coldness.
"The Black Snake Organization? Is it supposed to be impressive? I've always respected talent. Why don't you tell me what kind of talents can be found in this Black Snake Organization?"
The man felt his scalp tingle under Qin Feng's gaze.
"Kid, I advise you not to act rashly! Our boss is not someone to be trifled with. If you dare pluck a single hair on my head, he will make sure you wish you were dead!"
"Oh? Really?"
A hint of amusement flashed in Qin Feng's eyes. "I am a person who fears threats the least. If you really have the ability, have him come find me whenever he likes."
Saying this, Qin Feng squatted down and moved with lightning speed, striking several acupoints on the man's body.
The man instantly felt his limbs go weak and powerless, rendering him unable to even speak.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you just yet."
Qin Feng patted the man's cheek, his tone indifferent. "However, if you dare play any tricks, I guarantee you'll regret ever being born into this world."
The man looked at Qin Feng in horror, his eyes filled with dread.
He had not the slightest doubt about the truth of Qin Feng's words, because in Qin Feng's eyes, he had seen something far more terrifying than death.
Qin Feng paid no heed to the man's terror, turning instead to Long Xiaotian. "Brother Long, I leave this fellow to you. Ask him whatever you like, no need to stand on ceremony with me."
"Rest assured, Brother Qin."
A fierce glint flashed in Long Xiaotian's eyes. "I will make sure he spits out everything he knows."
Qin Feng nodded, walked aside, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke quietly.
He knew that with Long Xiaotian's methods, dealing with such a small fry was child's play.
Sure enough, before long, Long Xiaotian walked over with a grave expression on his face.
"Brother Qin, I've gotten to the bottom of it. This time, I'm afraid it was the Long family's deliberate doing."
"The Long family?"
Qin Feng was momentarily puzzled. If it were just Long Aotian acting alone, it could be attributed to him fearing that Long Xiaotian would overshadow him. But now that the Long family was intervening, what was the meaning of this?
"This bastard would stop at nothing to get his hands on the Longteng Group!"
Long Xiaotian said through gritted teeth, "This time, when I fell into his hands, he actually tried to force me to hand over my shares in the Longteng Group. What an absolute delusion!"
"Brother Long, don't worry, I will definitely help you seek justice."
Qin Feng said in a deep voice, "Since Long Aotian dared to make a move against you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Brother Qin, what do you plan to do?" Long Xiaotian asked.
A cold smile tugged at the corner of Qin Feng's mouth, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes. "Since he wants to play, we'll keep him company and play a good game..."
An hour later, Long Aotian received an unfamiliar phone call.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Young Master Long, long time no see."
A sinister voice came from the other end of the line.
Long Aotian's heart gave a jolt. He was all too familiar with this voice—it belonged precisely to the burly man he had sent to deal with Long Xiaotian.
"It's you? You actually dare to call me? How did things turn out?"
Long Aotian lowered his voice and demanded angrily.
