Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 498 - 313: A Fright Without Danger

The rider wore a full helmet, revealing only two eyes.

Sitting beside him, Chen Wei put down his chopsticks, his arms instantly tensing up. Niu Da and the Eagle also stood up, defensively blocking in front of Qi Yun.

Three motorcycles approached in a pyramid formation at high speed, arriving in the blink of an eye.

The girl from Taiwan was carrying fish soup out from the kitchen and, upon seeing this, her face immediately showed dissatisfaction. She angrily shouted, "Hey! Slow down! People are eating here!"

Although she looked puffed-up with anger, her tone was soft, sounding more like a playful complaint...

The three motorcycles braked sharply a few meters away from the stall, their tires screeching against the ground.

In the next second, the three riders simultaneously reached into their jackets, pulling out three "Black Star" Type 54 pistols, their black muzzles pointing directly at Qi Yun and the others, the sound of safety locks clicking audibly.

"Watch out!" Chen Wei was already alert, almost at the moment the muzzles rose, he grabbed Qi Yun’s arm and ducked behind a nearby pillar.

At the same time, three ear-piercing gunshots rang out, flashes erupting from the barrels in the night.

The Eagle reacted extremely quickly, glancing at Chen Wei’s movement with peripheral vision, immediately bending down to dodge. Then, he grabbed the table legs with both hands and flipped them over.

With a crash, bowls and soup splattered everywhere, the wooden table overturned in mid-air, just in front.

More gunshots rang continuously, a second wave of bullets hitting the table, wood splintering but failing to penetrate the surface, temporarily blocking the fire.

The Eagle continued moving, lifting the table legs and charging directly at the three assassins, the heavy wooden table transforming into a shield in his hands.

His left foot pushed the ground forcefully speeding up, the middle assassin just adjusting his aim, the table then smashed into his chest with a mighty force, sending him flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Meanwhile, Niu Da also raced forward under cover. His movement was like a leopard, bending close to the ground, dodging the right assassin’s aim, then suddenly rising, his fist the size of a sandbag slamming into the opponent’s ribs.

With a crisp "crack," the assassin curled up in pain instantly, Niu Da seamlessly continued, grabbing the assassin’s wrist, twisting it in the opposite direction.

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, the assassin’s arm twisted at an unnatural angle.

"Bang!" Another muffled sound followed, the assassin was punched square in the face, collapsing straightly onto the ground, completely unconscious.

The leftmost assassin, seeing his companions fall one after another, his eyes hardened, aimed to shoot Niu Da in the back.

The Eagle saw this, releasing the table and flying forward, sweeping his leg to kick the assassin’s cheek, sending him off as if a kite with its string cut before he could react.

It was easy to imagine the strength of that kick.

As the opponent struggled to get up, the Eagle advanced aggressively, pinning his left foot onto his wrist, punching his right fist into his temple, the assassin’s body twitched twice, then fell unconscious.

In less than ten seconds, all three assassins were taken down.

Seeing this, Chen Wei peeked out towards the street corner, then quickly pulled Qi Yun from behind the pillar, leaving the scene swiftly.

The Taiwanese girl, already scared, lay paralyzed on the ground, until she saw Qi Yun toss a wad of cash at her, finally recovering from the shock.

She hurriedly took out her phone to call the police, stammering, "Officer..."

...

Meanwhile, Qi Yun and the group fled the scene, rushing into a nearby alley, stopping only to ensure no pursuers followed.

"Are you hurt?" Qi Yun asked Niu Da and the Eagle with a sullen face.

Being attacked just as they arrived here made him incredibly angry, clearly the attacker knew his whereabouts.

The Eagle and the other shook their heads, "No."

Qi Yun calmly deliberated for a few seconds, then took out his phone, dialing De Gaulle’s number.

"I just arrived at Hsinchu, and I’ve been attacked." As soon as the call connected, Qi Yun spoke directly.

On the other end, De Gaulle paused for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Qi wouldn’t think I sent them, would you?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"If I suspected you, I wouldn’t be making this call." Qi Yun gritted his teeth, speaking in a low voice, "Let me see your capabilities."

As he said, De Gaulle had no reason to attack him because he held what De Gaulle needed most.

As for the real culprit, Qi Yun had two rough targets in mind, one was James from the United Kingdom, who previously sent six assassins from Southeast Asia to deal with him.

Otherwise, it was Ma Chaoyang or someone behind him.

They likely got wind of the investigation group, and rushed to take Qi Yun out first.

"At your service." De Gaulle replied coolly, then said, "Tell me your location, I’ll arrange a safe place for you."

Qi Yun thought for a moment, then didn’t refuse, giving him a location.

...

Over forty minutes later, on a street two kilometers away from the previous shooting scene, a black Alfa slowly pulled over to the side of the road.

Chen Wei and Qi Yun hid in a nearby grove, not rushing to leave until they received safe messages from Eagle and Niu Da. Only then did they quickly cross the road and get into the car.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and concisely asked, "Can we go?"

"Wait a moment," Qi Yun replied.

A few minutes later, Eagle and Niu Da arrived from two directions, and the Alfa finally started, slowly disappearing into the night.

As it turned to dawn, Qi Yun leaned back on a sofa in a villa, across from him sat the boss of the Sanhuan Gang—Scarface.

The history of the Sanhuan Gang goes back a long way, tracing back to the 1950s, when the island was dominated by powerful factions. The two biggest gangs then were the Sanhuan Gang and the Sihai Gang.

However, due to certain reasons, both gangs gradually declined and were replaced by the more commonly portrayed Bamboo Union Gang in movies.

Nevertheless, in the area of Hsinchu, the Sanhuan Gang still holds some power.

Scarface had a pipe in his mouth, his exposed palms covered with calluses, indicating he was probably a seasoned fighter.

"I’ve already instructed my boys to investigate, and we should have information back soon," Scarface said in a raspy voice.

Qi Yun nodded toward him, "Thanks for your help, Scarface."

He waved his hand with a hint of underworld flair in his words, "Dong Sheng called me personally, saying Mr. Qi here is his friend. Since you’re Dong Sheng’s friend, you’re my honored guest."

"In Hsinchu, nobody can make my guests suffer."

Though Qi Yun didn’t quite know who this Dong Sheng was, he could guess it might be De Gaulle’s connection on the island.

As they were talking, a subordinate hurried in, whispering a few words into Scarface’s ear.

After listening, Scarface turned to Qi Yun, "Mr. Qi, it’s been confirmed. The three gunmen who attacked you are from the Double Flower Society, and they’ve been taken by the Government Office."

Qi Yun frowned upon hearing this, "Double Flower Society?"

Scarface took the pipe out of his mouth and explained, "Yes, the Double Flower Society operates around the border of Miaoli and Hsinchu."

"This group started off in recent years by smuggling firearms and clearing paths for others. Though not very powerful, they are ruthless in their methods."

"Especially their boss, Fatty Bo, his hands are stained with quite a bit of blood."

Qi Yun observed the other’s expression, noting that this Scarface didn’t show any unusual reaction, and his words suggested he wasn’t particularly close to this Double Flower Society. Only then did he ask, "Can Scarface find out where this Fatty Bo is at the moment?"

Scarface thought for a moment and replied, "Their stronghold is in Miaoli. I’ll make a call to some friends over there." With that, he took out a phone and exchanged a few words in Min Nan dialect on the line.

After hanging up, he looked up at Qi Yun, "Fatty Bo is over at an abandoned sugar factory in Miaoli. I heard he recently got a batch of goods and is personally guarding it."

Qi Yun nodded, saying no more.

Seeing his silence, Scarface tentatively asked, "Mr. Qi, what would you like me to do? If you want Fatty Bo dead, I can bring some men and take care of him now."

After a brief hesitation, Qi Yun smiled, "No need for Scarface to get his hands dirty. Please send someone to escort my two brothers." As he spoke, he pointed to Niu Da and Eagle standing behind him, "They’ll bring him back."

Whether the other party was sincerely trying to make amends or had other motives, Qi Yun wouldn’t let others hold any leverage against him.

Besides, he didn’t necessarily want Fatty Bo dead, just needed to confirm a suspicion.

Scarface nodded, signaling to the previous subordinate with a nod. The subordinate understood and gestured to Niu Da and Eagle, "Please follow me, I’ll take you there."

"Be careful," Qi Yun instructed.

Niu Da and Eagle nodded, not taking the other party too seriously.

More than two hours quickly passed, and there was no tobacco left in Scarface’s pipe, yet he still resisted sleepiness, waiting with Qi Yun.

Qi Yun yawned, raising his watch to check the time, intending to ask Scarface to rest. However, footsteps sounded at the door, and soon Niu Da and Eagle came in, carrying a three-hundred-pound fatty.

"We’ve brought him back." They casually tossed the fatty to the ground, and the floor reverberated with a "thud," shaking the teacups on the coffee table.

"Is he Fatty Bo?" Qi Yun glanced at Scarface.

"Yes, that’s him," Scarface replied, staring at Fatty Bo.

Fatty Bo, thrown to the ground, took a while to regain his composure. Two buttons on his shirt popped open from his round belly, exposing greasy rolls of fat.

He struggled to sit up, but Niu Da stepped forward, stomping on the back of his hand. Instantly in pain, Fatty Bo grimaced, forced to stay prone on the floor, his eyes filled with fury.

"Scarface! What do you mean by having me brought here? Do you want to start a war with my Double Flower Society!?"

Scarface scoffed and didn’t respond to him.

Qi Yun lit a cigarette, his voice calm, "Brother Niu, let him cool down a bit."
