Chapter 2074: Chapter 2275: No Escape Even With Wings!!!

Hao Jian knew that Hu Lai and the others definitely didn’t know where Zhang Danlin lived, so when Liang Xiaohan wasn’t paying attention, he took out his phone and secretly sent the address to Hu Lai and the others.

As soon as Hu Lai received the address, he hailed a cab on the roadside, getting ready to send Zhang Danlin home. But at this moment, when Zhang Danlin saw Hu Lai and Zheng Jun wanted to send her home, she suddenly started to fuss,... refusing to get in the car no matter what. In the end, it was only after they softly coaxed her that she got in the car.

Later, He Qiqi came over, thinking it might be inconvenient for a few guys like Hu Lai to send Zhang Danlin home, so she joined them. Thankfully, He Qiqi came, otherwise, the driver, seeing three big guys trying to take home a drunk girl, looked like he was ready to call the police.

After seeing that a girl, He Qiqi, got in the car, the driver didn’t say much, asked a few brief questions, and started driving towards the destination.

Since He Qiqi went, Fatty, due to his weight, didn’t get in the car and stayed behind.

Because of this, the originally merry group of people had a dampened mood. Though Zhang Danlin was sent home, the atmosphere couldn’t return to what it was. After drinking a bit more and eating a little, they gradually left one by one.

Not long after, after finishing a drink, everyone dispersed, each going home. Fatty was originally supported by Hu Lai, but because Hao Jian sensed the killing intent coming from Liang Xiaohan, he felt someone had to stay with him, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, so he left Fatty there.

Unexpectedly, Fatty showed no brotherly loyalty at that moment, finding some excuse to quickly slip away, leaving Hao Jian alone. Immediately, Hao Jian hurried to pay the bill and was ready to dash off, planning to run home and lock the door first.

Otherwise, if he really ended up in Liang Xiaohan’s hands, the night would not go well. But unexpectedly, just as he was about to run, Liang Xiaohan appeared right behind him.

"Where are you going? Running away? Leaving me here alone?" Liang Xiaohan’s voice sounded from behind Hao Jian.

Hao Jian hurriedly turned around with a smile, saying, "No, no, I was just about to hail a cab by the road."

Liang Xiaohan knew Hao Jian was lying. If he was hailing a cab, he could just use a ride-hailing app; there was no need to go to the roadside. So she knew he was talking nonsense. However, she didn’t say much, walked over, patted Hao Jian on the shoulder, and said, "Let’s go home."

Hao Jian initially thought Liang Xiaohan would lose her temper, but unexpectedly, she spoke so calmly. But now, the calmer she was, the scarier it would be once they got home. He was familiar with this calm before the storm.

Soon, they hailed a cab by the roadside and were ready to take it home. Liang Xiaohan got in the car first, and Hao Jian was about to get in right after. However, at that moment, something caught Hao Jian’s eye, and his gaze locked onto something ahead. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He saw a group of people crazily running down the street, about a dozen of them, but behind them was another group chasing with weapons, numbering more than twenty. The front runners were running frantically, and with Hao Jian’s excellent eyesight, he could clearly see their obvious injuries. The group behind was clearly intent on catching them.

This was clearly a gang fight; anyone could see it at a glance. But that wasn’t what made Hao Jian freeze; the real reason was his sharp eyesight, which allowed him to spot Baldy among the runners up front. It was Baldy and his brothers.

As for the group in pursuit, there was no doubt that they were from the Axe Gang. Seeing this, Hao Jian frowned. He had known this would happen eventually because, given the Axe Gang’s style, they wouldn’t let it go so easily.

However, he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon, and to witness it personally was unexpected. In his plan, it was supposed to happen later, with Baldy calling him to step in. But since it was happening now, before his eyes, he couldn’t just stand by.

Liang Xiaohan, sitting in the car, wondered what Hao Jian was doing and why he wasn’t getting in. Before she could react, Hao Jian called to her, "You go ahead. I have something to deal with, and I’ll be back soon."

Without waiting for her to respond, Hao Jian went to the driver and said, "Driver, please take her home."

The driver nodded, and Hao Jian left, running away swiftly. Liang Xiaohan was surprised and a bit angry, unsure of what Hao Jian was up to. About to head home, he suddenly decided not to. Was he going to do something behind her back again?

She looked towards where Hao Jian was running and saw a group of people chasing another group, clearly about to brawl, and Hao Jian seemed to be headed straight for them. Suddenly, she understood what Hao Jian was up to, as long as he wasn’t heading to Zhang Danlin.

She then told the driver, "Let’s go!"

Without hesitation, the driver drove off quickly, and soon the car had disappeared from view.

Hao Jian ran after the group, catching up quickly. The speed at which they ran was fast, but compared to Hao Jian, it felt like they were crawling.

Hao Jian quickly caught up with them, though the Axe Gang hadn’t caught up with Baldy’s group yet. Hao Jian didn’t rush right in, choosing instead to follow at a distance.

As time passed, Baldy’s group, already injured, was gradually overtaken by the unscathed Axe Gang. Though they must’ve fought earlier, those injured likely didn’t join the chase, and the Axe Gang, with their advantage in numbers, was unlikely to get hurt. After all, they had the overwhelming advantage of numbers.

Before long, Baldy’s group, wounded as they were, was caught up with. Such fights couldn’t occur in populated areas, lest the police got involved. Knowing this, Baldy and his group ran towards more populated areas, hoping to scare them off.

However, the Axe Gang wasn’t about to let them escape, splitting into groups to herd Baldy and his men into a secluded area. After running for about two minutes, they were cornered in an abandoned building complex.

By now, Baldy’s group had no escape routes left, surrounded on all sides with nowhere to run. Baldy knew then that escape was unlikely, so he stopped running, gathering his brothers around him in a circle.

"Yo! Run, why don’t you? Weren’t you running just fine before? Why don’t you keep going?" the voice belonged to Yellow Hair, who had had been seen as a coward at the barbecue place before. Having the tables turned and capturing Baldy this time, he wanted to show Hao Jian who’s boss.

Baldy, hearing this, ignored him, maintaining a cold expression.

He had been planning to shake off the Axe Gang, and since staying in Yun City was not an option, he was prepared to move elsewhere. Though reluctant to abandon what he had built there, self-preservation was paramount under Axe Gang’s tyranny, and sacrifices had to be made.

Unexpectedly, the Axe Gang moved so quickly, reaching them before some plans could materialize. Baldy had just been eating with his men, discussing the move to another city, but before they finished, Yellow Hair and his men appeared en masse, forcing them to flee, but they were outnumbered and wounded.

Narrowly escaping, they were caught up with and tightly surrounded again. Today, the odds of escaping seemed slim.

Even so, Baldy didn’t show a trace of fear. His face remained stern and resolute.

Yellow Hair, seeing this, became irritable. "You’re a dead man walking, yet you pretend otherwise. Don’t think I can’t make you wish you were dead."

Having said enough, Yellow Hair waved his hand, smugly shouting, "Enough talk. Brothers, repay blood with blood, let’s get them!"

His men, hearing this, clutched their weapons and aggressively approached Baldy and his group.

Baldy, unfazed, stood firm, having encountered many such situations over his years in the underworld. Nothing phased him.

But as he looked back at his dozen brothers, a hint of sorrow flickered across his face.

They had followed him down this path, yet he hadn’t led them to prosperity, and now, they faced such dire circumstances.
