CHAPTER 979: CHAPTER 979: SU YONGZHEN IS AMBUSHED

Although the two men opposite him were quite skilled, it wouldn’t be so easy to stop Su Yongzhen.

He feigned a punch to push one of them back, then took the opportunity to jump outside. He was unaware of the situation around him, not knowing how many people the opponent had, so he couldn’t linger in battle.

The two men saw Su Yongzhen leap out and didn’t rush to chase him but instead walked out slowly.

Seeing the calm expressions on their faces, Su Yongzhen knew there must be other ambushes around.

He slowed his pace and walked outside, but just as he turned at the hallway, someone suddenly threw something at him.

Su Yongzhen instinctively used his hand to cover his face and then started to retreat backward.

At this moment, the two men from behind also arrived, attempting to grab his arm.

Su Yongzhen snorted coldly, thinking they were dreaming if they thought this could capture him. He turned, wanting to kick at the two men.

He kicked with all his might, but still felt somewhat weak, while the two people in front of him wore smiling faces.

"What’s going on?" Su Yongzhen’s mind panicked, feeling his whole body weaken, and his head started to become confused.

He understood that it was the powder from before, causing this. He tried to stay awake, but a massive wave of drowsiness overwhelmed him, making his will nearly collapse.

Biting the tip of his tongue to force himself awake, he knew he had to stay alert, as falling asleep now would be dangerous.

He still didn’t know who the opponent was, and with time running out, he didn’t have time to ponder.

Biting his tongue gave him a moment of clarity, then he once again attacked the two men.

But this punch was still weak, and the two men just snorted coldly, then punched him hard in the face.

At this point, Su Yongzhen could no longer hold out. His vision went black, and he fainted completely.

When Su Yongzhen woke up, he found himself in a pitch-black room, unable to see anything around him, with a pungent smell lingering in the air.

His hands were hanging above, his toes barely touching the ground, and there were many bloody marks on his body.

"Water, water, I want water..." Su Yongzhen muttered dizzily.

At this moment, his whole body felt immense pain, his mouth dry, and he sensed death approaching.

In a weak voice, he called out, wanting to drink water, needing to replenish his fluids.

But the surroundings were terrifyingly silent, no one responding to him, not a single sound.

After Su Yongzhen awoke, he passed out again.

The next morning after the incident, Xiang Yu and a few others were sitting in the hotel, Wang Ze was there too, but he kept glancing at Xiang Yu and fidgeting, clearly troubled.

"I say, Wang Ze, are you hyperactive, moving around here non-stop?" Tie Zhuzi said impatiently.

Since Tie Zhuzi noticed, Xiang Yu couldn’t possibly be unaware.

Wang Ze looked at Xiang Yu, who was calmly staring back at him.

"Speak, what’s going on?" Xiang Yu said.

Wang Ze swallowed before saying, "Boss, I made a mistake."

Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan were both curious, wondering why Wang Ze suddenly said such inexplicable words.

Seeing Xiang Yu not speaking, Wang Ze continued, "I was displeased with Su Yongzhen’s attitude, so last night, I took two people to teach him a lesson, but as a result..."

Tie Zhuzi finally understood what was going on, suspecting Wang Ze had gone to settle scores with Su Yongzhen.

Back when they joined, Xiang Yu explicitly stated that the first rule was no in-fighting among brothers, and anyone caught would be severely punished.

Xiang Yu valued brotherhood most, and everyone knew it. Now that Wang Ze had acted this way, he had violated the first rule set by Xiang Yu.

"Keep going," Xiang Yu said calmly.

Wang Ze thought for a moment before continuing, "But when we got to where he lived, we found he wasn’t there. There were signs of a fight in the room. And I found some sedative drug on the floor."

"What?" Tie Zhuzi exclaimed, "There really was sedative drug? Why haven’t I heard about it before? How effective is it, where can you buy it?"

Everyone was speechless.

Wang Ze ignored Tie Zhuzi, then looked at Xiang Yu and said, "I suspect he was in trouble."

Xiang Yu frowned upon hearing this. He wasn’t very familiar with the city, but as Wang Ze had mentioned, the city’s various factions were usually quite peaceful, and there were no hostile encounters.

It shouldn’t be them who caused trouble for Su Yongzhen. Who else could it be? Could it be Wang Ze?

Xiang Yu looked at Wang Ze, shaking his head in his heart. Wang Ze couldn’t be. He was loyal to Xiang Yu and would never lie to him.

The only possibility was that Su Yongzhen was caught by the police. But if the police had already figured out it was Su Yongzhen, why not just arrest him straightforwardly instead of using such tactics?

"Did you catch the last person?" Xiang Yu looked at Wang Ze and asked.

He was referring to a few people who used to follow Su Yongzhen, whom Wang Ze had confined to a secret location, but there was still one person missing.

Wang Ze frowned and shook his head, saying, "No news of the last person, it’s like they vanished into thin air."

Xiang Yu frowned slightly, then stood up and said, "Wang Ze, gather the brothers, let’s go."

Seeing Xiang Yu’s serious expression, Tie Zhuzi knew they were up for another fight, and in his excitement, completely forgot about the matter of the sedative drug.

When Su Yongzhen woke up for the second time, it was already eight in the morning the next day. Sunlight was streaming in, allowing him to see the situation around.

He was in an abandoned area, with nothing around, truly a waste of space in today’s land-scarce environment.

At that moment, five people approached from afar, the man in the middle was tall and strong, with a shaved head.

"It’s you?" Su Yongzhen’s eyes, bleeding at the corners, saw the world through a blood-red view.

"Surprised, aren’t you?" the bald man laughed heartily.

This man, known as Liu the Bald, was a part of a faction in the city. They usually had little interaction with Su Yongzhen and it was unclear why they suddenly acted against him.

"Liu the Bald, you’re playing with fire, you know," Su Yongzhen sneered.

The scene looked a bit brutal, and the ferocity in Su Yongzhen’s eyes made anyone watching shudder.

But Liu the Bald wasn’t intimidated by Su Yongzhen’s words and continued walking forward. He walked up to Su Yongzhen and kicked him hard in the chest.

Su Yongzhen, with his hands hanging, used all his strength to lift his body and kicked at Liu the Bald’s face.

Su Yongzhen was low on stamina but spent all his energy to deliver this kick.

Liu the Bald hadn’t expected Su Yongzhen would still have strength at this point. He wasn’t bracing for it and got a kick to the head.

Though the kick wasn’t very powerful, and it didn’t hurt much, Liu the Bald lost face, especially in front of his brothers...
