Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth
Chapter 941 - 430: Grudges
New York suburbs, the Li family.
Li Zhaonian and his wife stood in the yard, anxiously looking at the community road.
Yao Xin checked her watch, it was already after eight in the evening, but Will hadn't returned home yet.
She felt uneasy, as Will had gone to the Flying Dragon Gang to request withdrawal today, hoping nothing had gone wrong.
She took out her phone and dialed Will's number, but no one answered.
"It's getting so late and Will's not home yet, and he's not answering the phone, could something have happened?"
Li Zhaonian was worried too but tried to console her, "Don't scare yourself, he'll probably return soon."
"Why don't you call Luke?"
"Didn't I just call? Luke said something happened at the Flying Dragon Gang today, and we shouldn't worry."
"Will went there to withdraw, even if something happened in the gang, it shouldn't involve him."
"You're asking me, who am I supposed to ask?"
"Why don't you ask Luke again?"
Li Zhaonian "..."
The couple waited in the cold wind for another ten minutes, and the car lights lit up in the east of the road.
This was already the 42nd car they paid attention to.
The car lights were bright, Li Zhaonian squinted, "It's a black sedan... seems like it's our car."
Yao Xin shouted in joy, "Will's car, he's back."
The car drove into the yard, and the couple quickly went forward, Yao Xin hurriedly pulled open the driver's door.
Will stepped out of the car, bruised and battered, his legs weakened and almost fell, luckily Li Zhaonian standing beside him caught him.
Yao Xin worriedly said, "Son, what happened to you? Why is your face bruised, is it serious?"
"It's nothing, just superficial wounds." Will waved his hand, entered the house with his father's help.
Seeing his son like this, Li Zhaonian was anxious too, "Are you okay physically?"
"Really, I'm fine.
It's just after I mentioned quitting the gang, I got beaten by Wolf Brother's guys, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"Then why can't you stand properly?"
Will's face flushed, "He certainly couldn't say he was scared.
I'm hungry, make me something to eat."
"Alright, you rest for a while, and I'll prepare the meal." Yao Xin hurried to the kitchen.
Li Zhaonian called out, "Make more, Luke probably hasn't eaten either."
Will drank a cup of tea, "My brother is coming over soon."
"You didn't come home all this time, your mother and I were worried and called your cousin.
He said there was trouble at the Flying Dragon Gang today and not to worry.
He'll be over soon." Li Zhaonian mentioned this with a curious look, "What happened at the Flying Dragon Gang? It has nothing to do with you, right?"
Will shook his head, "I'll explain when my brother arrives, I'm not exactly sure what's happening either."
"Then why couldn't we reach your phone?"
"The phone was off, I left in such a hurry that I forgot to turn it on." Will took out his phone and rebooted it.
"Son, what's wrong? You look like you're scared."
"There were deaths today in our gang, not just one."
"Ah... what exactly happened?"
"I'll explain when my brother arrives." Will internally speculated but didn't dare to confirm, afraid to make his parents worry.
Not long after, Luke also arrived by car.
Luke entered and asked, "Where's grandma and grandpa?"
Li Zhaonian replied, "I told them to rest early.
These few days, because of Will's situation, the elderly have been through a lot."
Yao Xin came out of the kitchen with a plate and greeted, "Luke's here, I'll cook the noodles, let's wash hands and eat first."
Luke responded, washed up, then sat at the table to eat.
On the dining table were four dishes: stewed beef, flavored eggplant, braised donkey meat, and cucumber with wood ear mushrooms.
Soon, hand-made noodles were cooked, with two spoonfuls of beef broth, large chunks of beef, and a sprinkle of coriander, they looked, smelled, and tasted perfect.
Luke was hungry, finishing a large bowl of noodles in just a few minutes.
Will did the same, filled his bowl with the dishes and mixed them to eat.
The brothers soon cleared the table of any food.
Yao Xin asked, "Are you full? If not, I'll cook more, we still have beef in the pot."
Luke wiped his mouth, "I'm full, can't eat anymore."
Li Zhaonian, holding back for so long, asked, "Luke, what happened today?"
Luke didn't answer, instead looked at Will, "You tell us the situation with the Flying Dragon Gang first."
"Alright." Will responded quickly, "I went to the Flying Dragon Gang today intending to talk to Wolf Brother about leaving the gang but didn't know how to bring it up.
That's when I heard Wolf Brother and others talking about Zheng Lagong.
They said Zheng Lagong was injured and recovering at a clinic.
I quickly called to inform you.
I wanted to inform the New York police too, but you disagreed, so I didn't.
Later, all our phones were collected together.
I felt something was off, so I asked others what was happening.
Some said there was a traitor in the gang, others said there might be an operation, it was all chaotic.
Eventually, I heard they caught a few traitors and executed them immediately.
They also said a branch was raided by the special police, injuring several people.
I was then scared out of my wits, afraid they'd find out I was an undercover agent, wishing I could just hide from sight.
We didn't get our phones back until after seven in the evening, that's when I talked to Wolf Brother again and left quickly."
Will finished speaking with a frightened look, "Brother, what really happened today?"
Luke replied, "This incident has to start with the Gambling King Zhou Tiansheng, who was wanted by Malaysian police, and through Zheng Lagong's connections, he smuggled himself into New York.
