in the owner's hand. The crowd scattered like mice, hurriedly packing and leaving.

"Your Black Tiger Gang is truly notorious!" Yang Feng laughed. "You’re all like street rats, attacked wherever you go."

Li Wenlong and the others could only helplessly shrug in response.

Returning to their temporary abode, they each retired to their rooms, their encounters that night solidifying their resolve for tomorrow's action—to eradicate the Black Tiger Gang.

The city lights twinkled as the night enveloped Shanghai, starkly contrasting the peaceful outskirts.

Chapter 7: Ambushed

In the dead of night, the Tiger Gang's leader, Li Zhen's villa was brightly lit. Several young men, presumably disciples of the Tiger Gang, stood inside.

"Boss, we've scouted the area. Those people have left," one young man reported. "It seems they had lived there for quite some time."

"Hmm!~"

"Weren't there supposed to be only two of them?" Li Zhen frowned after hearing the report. "Could they have other accomplices?"

The young men glanced at each other, unsure if they should speak, as their information came from hearsay with no concrete evidence.

"Stop dithering and speak up," Li Zhen demanded angrily. "You know my rules, don't you?"

"Yes, we do!"

"We heard from the townspeople that the Right Enforcer and the six disciples were seen with those two," another young man stammered. "They seemed to get along well and had been living together for several days."

"Those traitors~!"

Li Zhen was filled with rage. The thought of his enforcer joining the enemy made him furious; it would be a humiliation in Shanghai’s underworld.

"Get out!"

The kneeling young men hurried out, followed by others who didn't want to anger the boss further.

...

It wasn't until noon the next day that everyone awoke. After grabbing a quick meal, they began their operation.

"Be careful, I'll be waiting for you here!" Xue Ying's eyes filled with tears as she watched them. "Make sure to come back alive!"

"We will!"

Yang Feng and Li Wenlong, along with the seven men, headed to the Tiger Gang's territory. Xue Ying knew she would only be a burden and stayed home to avoid causing trouble.

"Brother, are we really just going to walk in like this?" Li Wenlong asked. "It's broad daylight! The Tiger Gang will all be at their base."

"Are you afraid?" 

Yang Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. He had changed his plan to confront the gang in broad daylight, aiming to uproot this menace.

"With you leading, what’s there to fear?!" Li Wenhui joked. "We'll kill whoever comes our way, be it one or a hundred."

Familiar with the terrain, Li Wenlong and the others easily bypassed the outer guards and reached the Tiger Gang's headquarters, only to find themselves in a trap.

"Swish, swish, swish..."
