Chapter 1631: Chapter 954: Crashing In to Court Death, I’m Here to Claim Your Life (25 Updates)_2

The man originally thought he was just some good-for-nothing punk.

Though he was a criminal, there were ranks even among them. For high-level smugglers like him, how could they look down on petty thieves? So he didn’t give Huo Ran a second thought.

Unexpectedly, a swift kick came—

It made him dizzy!

After all, he was someone who licked blood off a knife’s edge, and he quickly got up, ready to fight back. But Huo Ran had already rushed over, with a punch!

Straight to the face!

The man’s head felt disoriented from the hit.

"Damn— you little brat!" The man wiped his nose; there was no blood. "I’ll kill you!"

The man suddenly took out a spring knife from his pocket and lunged at him!

Huo Ran didn’t expect him to carry such a thing.

After all, he hadn’t dealt with these types of people. How could someone like him be without some form of self-defense?

At that moment, Qi Zeyan shouted from nearby:

"Hey, what are you doing!"

With that shout, the man instinctively turned his head and suddenly saw a group of people sprinting towards him.

His heart trembled violently, but he thought of one thing:

Has the plan failed?

It’s over.

After so much preparation and time, he still recognized Qi Zeyan.

Seeing him come over, he was scared out of his wits.

The moment he turned his head, it gave Huo Ran a chance to attack. With an ice cream bar still in his mouth, he charged over.

With a skilled takedown, he grabbed the man’s wrist. The man screamed in pain as the spring knife fell to the ground. Huo Ran kicked the knife away, and with another kick to the back of the man’s knee, he pinned him directly to the ground.

The man struggled desperately, but the technique was taught by Huo Qinqi.

It wasn’t like the typical police hold; the more he struggled, the more it hurt.

"Are you... police?"

The man writhed.

He always thought this guy was just a dumbass, not realizing he’d fall into his hands.

Just because he looked a bit slick, he didn’t look like a cop or even undercover, so he didn’t think much about it.

"I’m not a cop, I’m here to claim your life!"

"You..." The man used all his strength to struggle, but his back was pinned down by Huo Ran’s knee.

When Qi Zeyan rushed over, the Huo Family members swarmed forward, locking the man down.

Qi Zeyan raised a hand and gave a thumbs up to Huo Ran.

Huo Ran looked down, continued to bite his ice cream bar, "I did a pretty good job today, didn’t I?"

Qi Zeyan nodded:

"It’s like watching a kid from our family grow up."

"I’m not a kid anymore! I’ve been an adult for a while; it’s just you and my brother and the others who always think I’m still young." Huo Ran was quite dissatisfied with this.

"We know you’re not small anymore; you’ve even been in a relationship. If you’re so mature and impressive, how did that girl end up dumping you?"

"She just couldn’t see the value!" Huo Ran was still upset mentioning it.

"I’ll tell you, if I see her next time, she’ll definitely be crying and begging to come back to me, asking to reconcile!"

"She just didn’t see how good I am."

...

Huo Ran crunched his ice cream bar loudly.

"Kid, do you still like her?"

"I... who the hell still likes her, a woman who dumped me? She’s nothing to me!" Huo Ran insisted.

"Then why do you get so worked up when you mention her?"

As Qi Zeyan spoke, he’d already reached into the man’s pocket and fished out a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and a phone; it still stored conversation info with cohorts.

He immediately called Jiang Jinsang, "Xiaowu, it’s been taken care of here; the rest is up to you over there."

"Alright."

The man was going mad. Even being pinned down, he kept squirming desperately, trying to break free, but with the Huo Family there, he couldn’t.

"Save your strength. How many of there are you all?" Qi Zeyan asked.

"It’s none of your business!"

Those mixed on the street never betrayed brothers. As he spoke, he spat at Qi Zeyan, saliva landing on someone’s shoes.

Huo Ran, who had been prattling on about how little he cared about his ex-girlfriend, saw this and shut his mouth.

Everyone knew that Qi Zeyan was obsessed with shoes before dating and getting married.

"I’ll ask one more time, how many of you are there, and who is in charge?" Qi Zeyan eyed his shoes, seemingly on the edge of losing it.

This guy didn’t realize someone cherished his shoes like his life, and he kept testing the edge of danger.

"Why should I tell you? Aren’t you all so good? You’ve got your eyes on me, why don’t you damn well find out yourselves."

"Later you’ll have to let me go."

"Don’t you dare touch me, let go."

...

Before the man could finish his words, Qi Zeyan suddenly raised a foot and kicked him.

Already pinned by the Huo Family, he couldn’t move, and with nowhere to hide, he took the blow solidly, writhing in pain, his curses silenced.

"Not saying anything is fine too, we’ll investigate it ourselves. We have a rough idea of how many there are and what you want to do," Qi Zeyan said directly.

"You really think we need your few words? I’m giving you a chance, but you don’t appreciate it, and you’ve even..."

"Dirty my shoes."

Man: "???"

What the hell, shoes?

Even the Huo Family was speechless; why would the old man pair these two together? Both were equals, neither had the right to look down on the other.

Qi Zeyan raised a hand, signaling the Huo Family, "Keep him pinned, we’ll decide what to do once we hear from the other side."

The Huo Family nodded.

"And, gag him, he’s too noisy."

The man tried to say something, but his mouth was already stuffed.

It’s over...

If they were prepared in advance, they must already have plans?

How did they know?

A chill ran up from his soles.

**

Inside the clubhouse, Jiang Chengsi had also received a message from Qi Zeyan, telling him:

[Initial victory, everything went as expected.]

Jiang Chengsi took a sip of tea and sighed helplessly, "I was clearly arranged to meet the lawyer at four, why isn’t he here yet?"

Jiang Shiyi could tell from his expression that the action had started over there, and everything should be according to the plan. He subtly observed Jiang Zhaolin across from him.

Jiang Zhaolin checked his watch more frequently, looking uneasy.

He wasn’t able to contact that group and didn’t know what happened outside. Facing the two brothers, especially Jiang Shiyi, those eyes seemed to see through him, how could he not be frightened.

According to the plan, they should be taking action around this time.

The outcome depended on this moment.

"Why are you so restless? Do you have other plans?" Jiang Shiyi raised an eyebrow.

Beneath his calm exterior, a massive storm brewed.

Indeed, it was aimed at his daughter. If they weren’t held under control, his mind was never at ease.

At that moment, his phone vibrated; it was actually Lin Luyou calling. He answered, and it was his daughter’s voice.

"Hello, Dad."

The room was too quiet; the girl’s voice was clearly heard by all three of them.

"Finished school?" Jiang Shiyi’s eyes softened.

Jiang Zhaolin breathed quickly, staring at him intently, his heart ready to leap out of his throat, afraid, nervous, all emotions surged simultaneously, never in his life had he felt so anxious.

"When are you coming home? Mom said we’re having dumplings tonight."

"You and mom go home first; I’ll be back soon."

"What filling do you want? Mom and I will get groceries."

"I’m fine with anything." Jiang Shiyi talked to his daughter, voice gentle.

But then, faint sounds of crashes came from the phone.

The phone—

Disconnected.
