Dealing with a couple of petty thugs was as easy for Yang Feilong as crushing two ants.
But for Lou Yitian and his wife, Yang Feilong was incredibly powerful. With just one punch and one kick, he had the two thugs wailing on the ground.
"Will they be alright?" Lou's mother asked with some worry.
"Feilong knows what he's doing, it's not serious," Lou Yitian replied calmly. He then thought about why Yang Feilong had tricked these two into coming in. It was so that if the police were called, they could unequivocally claim the thugs were attempting to rob their home.
In truth, Yang Feilong hadn't considered that much. He had his own ways of preventing people from calling the police. The main reason he’d brought the fight indoors was to minimize the impact on outsiders who might have been watching.
"Uncle, Auntie, do you still have the IOU notes from when these people borrowed money from you?" Yang Feilong asked.
These people had borrowed money a while ago, ranging from a thousand to two or three thousand yuan. The total added up to twenty to thirty thousand!
"We do," Lou Yitian nodded.
How could they not keep them? After all, he genuinely wanted the money back, he just didn't know how.
It wasn't just one person who had borrowed the money; it was over a dozen people, all seemingly part of the same street gang.
"Give them to me. I'll go and collect the money they 'borrowed'!" Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"Ah? How will you collect it?" Lou Yitian was taken aback.
"Don't we have these two to lead the way?" Yang Feilong chuckled. "I saw earlier that they rode a motorcycle. We'll have them show us the way."
"If you go to their base, it might be dangerous!" Lou Yitian said with a worried expression.
"Uncle, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Yang Feilong smiled.
"Alright then!" Lou Yitian took out his wallet and handed over the ten-odd IOU notes. Carrying these around made him depressed and annoyed every time he saw them. He had even considered moving to the city, but hadn't made up his mind.
This was, after all, their old home, where they had lived for decades and were very accustomed to. This was also why, after being borrowed money from more than ten times, they hadn't decided to move out.
They really didn't want to abandon their homeland, especially as they were getting older. The couple had married a bit late and were now in their fifties.
Yang Feilong took the IOUs and put them in his pocket, then into his storage ring.
With that done, Yang Feilong walked out of the door, carrying one thug in each hand.
Seeing this, Lou Yitian and his wife were stunned.
Yang Feilong was so strong! Even though these thugs weren't fat, each of them weighed at least 130 to 140 pounds, and he was carrying them so effortlessly?
Witnessing Yang Feilong's fighting prowess earlier, and now this display, the couple breathed a sigh of relief. Feilong must have a plan, right?
Some neighbors were naturally paying attention to the situation. They were also helpless against these thugs, and even if they wanted to help, they wouldn't dare. These street thugs numbered twenty or so. If you stood up to them today, tomorrow they might throw feces in front of your door, disrupting your life. Because of this, and the fact that calling the police wouldn't be very effective, they could only be 'borrowed' money from repeatedly.
It was mainly because the couple's personalities were too gentle. Lou Yimo’s delicate nature was inherited entirely from her parents.
When the neighbors not far away saw Yang Feilong emerge from Lou Yitian's house, holding two thugs, they were all dumbfounded.
"Who is this young man? How did he subdue two thugs so quickly? And he's carrying them out! He's so strong!"
"What is he going to do?"
"I don't know. Hmm, he's walking towards the thugs' motorcycle. Strange, I don't understand."
Soon, everyone who saw this was bewildered. Yang Feilong simply tossed the two thugs onto the back of the motorcycle like he was throwing firewood, then he himself hopped on and squeezed them in behind him.
Lou Yitian and his wife stood at the door. Seeing this, they were still worried, but Yang Feilong waved at them and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
He started the motorcycle and asked the two thugs, "Where are your accomplices?"
When Yang Feilong asked, the two thugs, who were still grimacing in pain, didn't want to talk at first. But now they were terrified. They feared Yang Feilong would torment them further because they couldn't figure him out at all. They hadn't even reacted in the yard before they were taken down, and their bodies ached so much they couldn't speak.
They were very afraid that if it happened again, they might die!
So, they honestly told Yang Feilong the location and roughly how to get there. Secretly, the two thugs were sneering. How audacious of him to go to their stronghold, truly courting death! They had no idea how fierce and powerful their boss was at fighting!
Soon, Yang Feilong started the motorcycle and, with the two thugs, headed towards the thugs' hideout.
Since he had encountered this situation, he naturally wanted to eliminate the safety hazard completely. These two thugs were clearly low-level members. They were scared, but their backers might not be. So, Yang Feilong wanted a permanent solution.
The two thugs had been on motorcycles countless times, but this time, riding was a heart-pounding experience. Well, actually, this time they weren't riding, but clinging on. Both of them were afraid of falling off the speeding motorcycle. Even if they survived the fall, they would definitely be seriously injured, as Yang Feilong was driving too fast.
Fortunately, the distance wasn't too far, only about seven or eight kilometers.
They reached their destination, a dilapidated KTV.
This was their stronghold.
On the way, Yang Feilong also learned that the group was led by someone named 'Hu Zi' (Tiger). Based on the information Yang Feilong inquired about, he deduced that 'Hu Zi' was a practitioner of ancient martial arts. His cultivation wasn't strong, at most a cultivator in the Zhenwu realm, or perhaps just the Xuwu realm!
Of course, his exact cultivation level would only be known upon meeting him!
The KTV entrance was deserted, showing no business at all. It was no wonder these people were targeting others. Yang Feilong analyzed that Lou Yitian's family was likely not the only target of these people.
"Go tell your boss to gather everyone as soon as possible!" Yang Feilong stopped the motorcycle. Due to the sudden stop, the two thugs, propelled by inertia, fell off the bike, landing with bruised and swollen faces. Their bodies burned with pain, looking utterly pathetic.
"You wait!" The two thugs glared at Yang Feilong fiercely. Their hatred for him now outweighed their fear.
They had been terrified all the way here, but they had bottled up their anger. Now that they were back at their base, their courage returned, and they became arrogant again.
This was mainly because they believed their boss would avenge them!
