Chapter 148: The Rhythm of the Breaking Wolf 2

All the vehicles approaching from behind dared not come near, and in an instant, the area became gridlocked. The remaining dozen or so thugs were gritting their teeth, locked in a life-or-death struggle against He Zhixing and his terrifying combat prowess. None of the onlookers, who were gathered in large numbers, had caused this traffic jam.

Just as He Zhixing had knocked down two or three more men, he saw their leader, in a state of disarray, pull out a firearm—a crude, improvised pistol. The leader fired directly at him. To He Zhixing’s surprise, the man actually had a gun.

With a loud "bang," the bullet was fired, streaking rapidly toward He Zhixing. He Zhixing immediately tracked the sound and position, skillfully dodging the projectile. But to his astonishment, the leader kept firing. He Zhixing’s temper flared instantly: "Damn it, you really don't know when to quit! I haven't even begun to show you what I'm capable of!"

He Zhixing struck out with lightning speed, his file flashing like a bolt of lightning. Following a sharp "clack" and a blood-curdling scream, the file struck the leader’s pistol. The gun shattered upon impact, and several of the man’s fingers were severed along with it. The leader collapsed to the ground, howling in agony as blood gushed from his hand.

The remaining ten thugs were stunned by He Zhixing’s terrifying power in incapacitating their armed leader. At that moment, He Zhixing strode over, grabbed a nearby car, and heaved it upward. The vehicle, weighing over a thousand pounds, was lifted more than a meter off the ground by him gripping the chassis with both hands. What kind of concept was this?

A car weighing over a thousand pounds was tossed aside as easily as if it were a stone. The onlookers by the roadside were left dumbfounded by He Zhixing’s monstrous strength; it was absolutely breathtaking.

The car slammed into the ground with a thunderous crash, the pristine vehicle mangled and flipped over from He Zhixing’s casual toss. He brushed the dust from his palms and said, word by word, "Do you... still... want to come at me?"

The ten thugs, all nursing various minor injuries, retreated in terror, fearing they would be the first to suffer if He Zhixing lost his temper. They scrambled backward, desperate to escape this terrifying man.

Seeing they dared not advance, He Zhixing said, "Let this be a lesson to you. In this world, not every place is for you to play king and tyrant. For every arrogant bastard, there are plenty more who are even worse..."

With that, he got into his car, called for the beautiful Xiao and the others to join him, and drove away. Only five or six minutes after they left did the traffic police, the 110 emergency units, and the ambulances finally arrive.

Although none of the thirty-plus thugs had died in this brutal fight, every one of them was severely injured, leaving the authorities scrambling to provide medical aid and clear the congestion.

As for He Zhixing and his party, the police made no attempt to pursue them. They knew that those He Zhixing had injured were not ordinary citizens, but underworld thugs. If anything, they were grateful; this gang had been a headache for local law enforcement for years, and their capture finally lifted a heavy burden from the police’s hearts.

The fierce "Tiger" of the Pingzhou area had been unexpectedly caught here today. This provided a definitive result for their crackdown on local criminal organizations. Maintaining social order and ensuring the peace and stability of the region—how could they not be pleased?

He Zhixing, accompanied by the six women and the truck driver who hauled the stones, traveled smoothly all the way to the provincial capital and arrived at his company, Nuofeng Fashion. They unloaded all the raw stones at the Nuofeng Fashion warehouse, storing them alongside the stone-cutting machine purchased in Pingzhou as a temporary holding site.

The company’s management and warehouse staff were astonished to see their boss had bought so many jadeite raw stones. They all found this young boss incredible, never imagining that he was also a fan of stone gambling.
