Chapter 313: Chapter 311 The benefits of understanding the law, Brother Biao’s whereabouts

Central District, an old street.

At the very end of the old street, there was an abandoned KTV.

The KTV had been open for over a decade, going from bustling to almost deserted—it had seen its share of ups and downs.

Due to poor management, the boss had fled, and nearly everything inside had been removed. The entire business was on the market and had been rented by some gang members, turning it into their stronghold.

The gang members naturally did not manage the business. From the mottled sign at the entrance and the broken lights, it was evident that the establishment was on the brink of closure.

However, the gang members occupied this place not to actually use it to make money.

Although watched over by the gang, this KTV had a legitimate business license and was a private commercial establishment.

So if someone in the gang got into trouble, they could completely use this place as a hideout.

If the investigation unit really wanted to inspect this place, they would have to show a search warrant.

Any investigator entering here without a search warrant would be committing illegal trespass, and any evidence collected would not be recognized by the law.

That was the real purpose of this location.

At the entrance to the old street.

A black SUV was parked, with four people sitting inside.

They were two men and two women, one of whom was leaning over the driver’s seat, observing the KTV in the street, and silently counting.

"1, 2, 3...7, 8, 9...15, 16..."

"How is it, did you get a clear look?"

"I’ve been observing for a while. I’ve seen more than 20 gang members coming and going, and that’s not even counting the people stationed inside. My guess is there are twice as many!"

"What, are you scared, little brother?"

"Scared? As if I would be. Right, big sis?"

"Remember to protect Zhang Wei if things really go down, Xiao Yan!"

"Come on, big sis, we finally get a chance to fight, and you want me to protect him? Why don’t you protect him?"

"Me?"

"You don’t have to protect me, you know. I can fight too..."

"Go away!"

The last word was spoken in unison by the three.

Zhang Wei had wanted to say that he had trained for so long, he should easily handle one or two thugs.

But Zhang Xinyan, Zhang Xinwu, and Xia Qianyue didn’t give him a chance.

In the end, Zhang Xinwu instructed, "Xiao Yan, when we take action, try to protect Zhang Wei, okay?"

"Got it, big sis!"

Since his sister had said so, although Zhang Xinyan was very reluctant, he agreed.

"Zhang Wei, are you sure the target you’re looking for is inside?"

Xia Qianyue, who hadn’t spoken up until now, seemed a bit worried.

But Zhang Wei was confident as he pointed at the KTV and said, "Of course. I’ve gathered the intel; all the merchants in this area have to pay protection money. They’ve been unhappy with these thugs for some time now and certainly wouldn’t lie to me."

"Besides, I’ve been watching for a while and noticed some pimps coming in for dealings. The target I’m looking for is definitely here!"

Zhang Wei and company were planning to search for Sang Biao.

After numerous inquiries, they had learned that Sang Biao had changed his "workplace" since the last time they had dealt with him.

He was now in charge of this area, collecting protection money from the local merchants as well as "protection fees" from some illegal operations.

One such illegal business was led by the pimps of Liuying.

A couple of Liuyings certainly wouldn’t make much, but if there were many, it would be a significant income.

It was said that behind Sang Biao stood a major figure.

Therefore, pimps and Liuyings in the surrounding area also sought his protection, handing over a portion of their income as a protection fee to earn the right to operate in this region.

And today, the gang was about to face a test.

"Let’s move!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Wei immediately gave the command to start their operation.

Zhang Xinwu, Zhang Xinyan, Xia Qianyue, and he got out of the car and headed toward the KTV.

Two tall gang members were guarding the entrance of the KTV, their fierce looks making a clear statement of "strangers are not welcome."

"Stop right there!"

As Zhang Wei and his group of four approached, one of the gang members raised his hand to stop them.

"This is a private place. You can’t go in!"

"Such a big KTV, isn’t it open to do business?"

Zhang Wei played the negotiator, taking the lead.

"Enough with the bullshit. If we say you can’t come in, you can’t come in. Now get the hell out of here!"

Gang members weren’t the type to reason with him, and when Zhang Wei didn’t leave, they immediately berated him.

"Hold on!"

But the other gang member behind him suddenly revealed a lecherous smile.

"Look at this, though the two guys aren’t much, the girls they brought with them aren’t half bad, eh!"

He pointed at Xia Qianyue and Zhang Xinwu and silently gave a thumbs up.

Then he smiled at Zhang Wei, "Are you the new pimps in this area? I must say, the girls you have are quite something, huh? How much do they charge? My buddy and I want to support your business today!"

"Oh, is that so? Well then!"

The gang member who initiated the conversation also revealed a sleazy smile.

No kidding.

They had seen quite a few pimps in this area, but none had such attractive girls under them; even he was feeling tempted.

"Ah––"

But at that moment, Zhang Wei just sighed.

"All right, these two are going to be humanely destroyed; no use keeping them around to cause trouble."

He then waved his hand dismissively and stopped obstructing them.

"What’s your deal, kiddo, talking to us like that?"

"What’s going on? Why do I feel murderous intent, bro, these chicks are looking at us funny..."

"Hey, hey, hey, we are Brother Biao’s guys, don’t come over here, be careful or we’ll call for backup..."

"Ahhh––"

Xia Qianyue and Zhang Xinwu couldn’t endure it any longer.

Especially after hearing those two imply they were prostitutes; there was no way they could tolerate that.

Since Zhang Wei had said to take action, they immediately went on the attack.

In just a single move, the two men were struck down in succession, falling unconscious with a scream.

"Zhang Wei, what should we do next? I know this KTV too, they have a proper business license, we can’t just barge in."

Xia Qianyue wasn’t brainless; she knew what to consider.

"Hahaha, silly girl, I thought you were worried about something serious!"

Zhang Wei just waved his hand dismissively, revealing a scornful smile.

"What’s there to worry about when I’m here?"

He said, walking up to Zhang Xinwu and smiling, "Sister Xiao Wu, is your sense of direction good? Do you get lost while walking?"

"Uh, Zhang Wei, why are you asking this?"

Zhang Xinwu was taken aback, not understanding the significance of these questions.

Anyway, her sense of direction had always been good.

"Ahem, Sister Xiao Wu, didn’t your sense of direction suddenly get worse, and then you got lost while walking, which is why you ended up in this KTV without knowing why? Then you saw a bunch of gang members inside, looking menacing, like they wanted to lay a hand on you, right?"

"Then I’ll hit them!"

Hearing Zhang Wei’s words, Zhang Xinwu clenched her fist with one hand, making a ready-for-battle gesture.

"Hey, Sister Xiao Wu, you’re supposed to scream like a girl!" Zhang Wei winked and said with fervent conviction, "That way we can hear you and then rush in to heroically rescue you!"

"What?" Zhang Xinwu was stunned.

Heroic rescue, is that how you’re supposed to play it out?

Isn’t this just fishing for an excuse?

However, Zhang Wei just waved his hand again, reiterating, "If something really happens later, just use this explanation to deal with it!"

"We were just strolling around this area, and Sister Xiao Wu happened to lose her sense of direction, ended up walking into this KTV by mistake. Inside just happened to be a few guys who looked like thugs, scaring Sister Xiao Wu into letting out a scream. The three of us just happened to hear the scream, then we rushed in to save her, and just happened to clash with those gang members. If we end up having to fight, it will be all about defending Sister Xiao Wu."

"Why are there so many ’just happened tos’?" Zhang Xinyan interjected with a question.

This excuse is ridiculous; it sounds completely made-up, right?

"What do you care about all that? Anyway, with this story, our actions can be considered emergency self-defense, defense of others, and we might even get commended for bravery!"

Zhang Wei sneered, winking at Zhang Xinwu.

She got the hint and pretended to be disoriented.

Zhang Xinwu rubbed her forehead, calling out in a very perfunctory tone, "Oh my, why did my head suddenly start spinning? I think I’ve lost my sense of direction, what’s inside here, let me take a look..."

Saying this, she walked into the KTV.

This awkward acting baffled both Xia Qianyue and Zhang Xinyan; their jaws were left hanging.

"I have to say, my sister’s acting is pretty cringeworthy..."

"I think it’s fine?"

"Silly, you can’t compare her to yourself; you have to compare her to a professional..."

"Zhang Wei, I won’t let you insult my sister!"

"You little stinker, you dare insult me..."

"Ah, help me! It’s so dangerous, I’m so scared, these people are so fierce~"

While Zhang Wei and the others were bickering and waiting, a perfunctory cry for help came from inside the KTV.

"Let’s go!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Xinyan was the first to rush in.

"Hey, didn’t your sister say you were supposed to protect me?"

Zhang Wei shouted and, together with Xia Qianyue, also sprang into action, following close behind and charging into the KTV.

Inside the KTV.

Every single gang member was baffled.

They had been kicking back in the hall, boasting, chatting and shooting the breeze, with a few even playing cards, whiling away the time.

Suddenly, a woman walked in and began shouting for help.

"Boss, is this chick off her meds or something?"

"What you mean off her meds? Could she be one of the pimp’s girls who got lost around here?"

"Looks like it, and she’s screaming for help. Maybe she’s into this kind of kink?"

"Can’t deny it though, the babe is pretty hot, especially those boobs, so big~"

The gangsters, who usually dealt with the pimp’s girls—plain Jane’s slathered in cheap makeup—were unable to control themselves when faced with someone like Zhang Xinwu, who was attractive and with a great figure.

Immediately, some of them started moving towards Zhang Xinwu with ill intentions written all over their faces.

And Zhang Xinwu instantly picked up on their cues, hurriedly covering her chest and even began to shout for help in an exaggerated fashion.

Of course, her attempt was devoid of any actual acting skill; the expression was stiff, and the cries for help were utterly emotionless.

Lackadaisical!

Her acting screamed of perfunctory effort, or even painfully awkward.

It was akin to some high-paid celebrities who lacked acting chops and could only offer blank stares on high-budget sets.

The hoodlums were complicit, and seeing Zhang Xinwu playing along, they all began to chuckle lewdly.

"Come on, girl, keep shouting, shout!"

"This is our turf; no one’s gonna come save you even if you scream your lungs out!"

"Wait a sec, aren’t there supposed to be people guarding the door? How’d she get in?"

"Man, now that you mention it... that does seem weird..."

A few of the gang members seemed to have realized something was amiss.

"Let go of my sister!"

But just then, a young man barged through the main entrance, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a loud roar.

Following, the young man cut through the crowd with his fists and kicks, sending two people flying back instantly.

"Ouch, brothers, we’ve got ourselves a party crasher!"

Some of the gangsters quickly recovered, grabbed whatever was at hand, and were ready to go all out.

Two more people rushed through the main door, and the girl, after scanning the room, also charged into the fray.

Meanwhile, the boy looked around the entire place, his gaze drifting over everyone as if he was searching for someone.

"Weird, why aren’t they here?"

He muttered under his breath, realizing the person they were looking for wasn’t there.

In the hall.

The fight had finally erupted into an intense brawl.

Zhang Xinyan traded blows with three gangsters, punch for punch, kick for kick.

He was up against no ordinary thugs this time; all were seasoned street fighters.

Though their fighting was unstructured, the use of props gave them the edge to pose some threat to Zhang Xinyan.

For instance, steel pipes and water hoses lying around became weapons, and folded chairs and tables were street-brawl essentials, useful for both offense and defense.

Zhang Xinyan grappling with attacks from three directions was under quite some pressure.

On the other side, Zhang Xinwu was single-handedly holding off five or six men.

Although these gangsters were also experienced brawlers, Zhang Xinwu was a martial arts expert trained in boxing.

Her movements were just as swift, darting among the five or six attackers like a bolt of lightning.

The gangsters were almost toyed with, unable to catch or strike her, which infuriated them.

Zhang Xinwu’s attacking moves also caught them completely off guard, and it wasn’t long before they began to drop like flies.

The last of the fights was ongoing.

"Ah—"

"Ouch!"

"It hurts, it hurts too much!"

"This girl’s a monster!"

Amidst cries of agony and the thunderous sounds of bodies hitting the ground, more than ten gangsters were quickly overpowered and sent flying, crashing heavily onto the floor and even smashing up a good chunk of the facilities.

"Why are you all so weak?"

Xia Qianyue stood innocently in her spot, maintaining a martial arts opening stance, her face showing a tinge of boredom.

She hadn’t expected these gang members to be so fragile; not one could withstand a single punch from her.

Of course, she hadn’t considered the fact that she could punch through steel plates.

"Sister Xiao Wu, could you hurry up, please!"

Xia Qianyue had finished the fight in just a few seconds and now looked towards the other two battle zones, clearly disappointed.

The gangsters in those two spots felt a chill run down their spines at her gaze, sensing the cold dread envelop them.

This girl looked harmless to humans and animals, but she turned out to be a huge terror!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen brothers were gone. Just like that.

Can this even be called human?

This terrifying fighting power, are you sure you’re not a Saiyan?

Out of fear, the gangsters’ attacks became more disorderly, and their fighting abilities were halved on the spot.

Within 5 minutes, they had been defeated and were taken down one by one by Zhang Xinyan and Zhang Xinwu.

At the end of the fight, Zhang Wei’s side had won a complete victory.

However, once the battle was over, Zhang Xinyan bent over, gasping for air.

Zhang Xinwu was also breathing slightly rapidly and needed to adjust.

The siblings looked at Xia Qianyue, who seemed unscathed, with puzzled expressions.

They vaguely remembered that the last time Xia Qianyue fought with them, her fighting power didn’t seem to be this terrifying, did it?

In any case, the fight was over.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wei wasn’t satisfied because Sang Biao wasn’t here.

And Sang Biao’s location needed to be asked about!

So, the semi-conscious small-time thugs were herded into the corner by Zhang Wei.

Even so, these small-time thugs didn’t need to be told; they automatically put their hands behind their backs, squatted in the corner. This posture looked extremely professional; no guidance was needed.

"I’m asking you people, where’s your big brother Sang Biao?"

"Brother Biao has gone over to Lord Three’s place!"

"Lord Three?"

Zhang Wei muttered and then asked, "Did Lord Leopard Three call Sang Biao over?"

"Yeah, but which of Lord Three’s turfs Brother Biao has gone to, we’re not sure either!"

"So that means, we can’t find the person, huh?"

"Not necessarily."

A small-time thug immediately reported, "Brother Biao, when he was drinking yesterday, seemed to brag to us, saying that the martial artists invited by Lord Three will arrive at the port by the end of the month, and they will all go to greet them!"

"Martial artists?"

"Yes, martial artists. It’s said that the martial artists Lord Three has invited are all here to participate in the Dongfang Capital’s Martial Arts Congress."

"Oh, I see!"

Zhang Wei instantly understood.

This Martial Arts Congress was indeed set to start next month. He didn’t expect that Lord Leopard Three, despite being a gang member, was interested in it.

But it’s understandable; both martial artists and underworld figures took interest in the title of ’The World’s Number One’.

"Now, I’m asking you, when Brother Biao was bragging to you, did he mention the specific time and place where Lord Leopard Three will receive the martial artists?"

"This..."

"Hmm?"

Zhang Wei immediately gave Xia Qianyue a look, who raised her hand and squeezed her fist.

Crack, crack...

The crisp sound made the thugs feel scared and panic.

They knew very well that this girl was a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus, with frighteningly powerful combat abilities.

They didn’t stand a chance; she could probably blow them away with just the wind of her punches.

We can’t beat her... can’t beat her...

And if we can’t beat her, what can we do but cower?

"Brother Biao said, it seems to be tomorrow night at Dongfang Capital South Port, those martial artists will come over on a cargo ship!"

"Really?"

"Brother Biao has a lousy tolerance for alcohol. Once he’s drunk, he blurts out everything. All these are words from his own mouth, absolutely true!"

Hearing the thugs’ guarantee, Zhang Wei immediately laughed.

Tomorrow is it, then tomorrow we’ll go and have a chat about life with Brother Biao and Lord Leopard Three.

"All right, you know what to do next, don’t you?"

Zhang Wei said, looking at the small-time thugs with a ruthless look flashing in his eyes.

The thugs felt the murderous intent and immediately begged for mercy, "Big Brother, you can rest assured. Brother Biao is over at Lord Leopard Three’s place, and Lord Three has strict rules. We can’t contact Brother Biao either, so please feel at ease. Don’t silence us, please!"

The ruthless look on Zhang Wei’s face suddenly faded, followed by hearty laughter, "Don’t worry, we’re good people and we wouldn’t do something like silencing others!"

Yeah, right.

If we hadn’t changed what we were saying just now, you would have definitely silenced us.

And how can you possibly be considered good people? You’re downright villains, even worse than us!

The thugs complained inwardly, but Zhang Wei and his group had already left the KTV.

Before leaving, however, he had called in a report, letting the criminal investigation department handle these thugs.

Even if these guys were detained for just 4 hours, it would be enough to buy them some time.
