It's not appropriate to bring a gun today.

There's no need to use a gun against Li Zhaonian and his wife. If they call the police and they find the gun, that'd be a real hassle.

But he didn't expect, out of nowhere, Luke appeared and completely messed up his plan. This bastard doesn't play by the rules, what the hell are you doing putting away the gun?

Do I friggin' dare to hit you?

I can't even friggin' beat you.

Blue Hair assumed a boxing stance for defense, and honestly, he seemed to know what he was doing.

Luke stepped forward with attacking footwork, his body swaying as he approached, while Blue Hair slowly retreated.

Luke seized the opportunity, throwing a feint with his right straight punch. Blue Hair ducked, and Luke's left hand launched a hook aimed at his right cheek.

Blue Hair shielded his face and head with both arms.

"Bang!"

The sound of a hit landed on Blue Hair's right forearm, causing him to gasp in pain, feeling like his bones were about to crack.

That wasn't the end of it. Luke was delivering a combination, with his right hand uppercutting directly into Blue Hair's stomach.

"Ugh!"

Blue Hair felt an upheaval in his stomach, as if he'd been rammed by a wild boar.

The pain made his body tremble, nausea rose in his throat, and sour liquid came up, making him curl up on the ground.

Seeing Luke approaching him, Blue Hair got scared and rolled on the ground, trying to distance himself from Luke.

Blue Hair couldn't care less about his image, rolling to the side and forcing himself to stand up.

"Bang!"

A shadow flashed by, delivering a heavy blow to his head, and Blue Hair collapsed completely.

Yao Xin stood beside him, holding a frying pan. "That's for hitting my husband, for smashing my shop. Want to smash again? Want to hit again?"

Yao Xin's eyes were wide open with a somewhat manic look, yelling questions while hitting Blue Hair with the frying pan, "Bang..."

Blue Hair's nose bled heavily, obscuring half of his face, making him look somewhat terrifying.

Li Zhaonian rushed over and took the frying pan from his wife's hands, "Alright, alright, he's been knocked out, it's fine now."

"Boo hoo..." Yao Xin sat on the ground, crying loudly.

Li Zhaonian was also frightened, holding Yao Xin's arm, "Wife, what's wrong? Don't scare me, okay?"

"The lady's been overly tense these days and was scared by this group. After crying and letting it out, she should be fine." Luke helped Yao Xin up from the ground and onto a chair nearby.

Li Zhaonian looked at the wreck of the restaurant and the three thugs on the floor, with a heavy expression, "What should we do? Should we call the police?"

"Since they dared to cause trouble, they're not afraid of the police." Luke guessed that the three had already made up their alibi, and when the police came, they would definitely have a way to shirk responsibility.

These thugs were regulars at the police station and were familiar with the limits of law enforcement. Even calling the police wouldn't be beneficial.

Decent people are busy, who has time to hang out at the police station every day, but these thugs are different. Going to the police station is like visiting family, they can wait it out, and eventually, their gang will bail them out.

This isn't Los Angeles; Luke didn't want to waste time on meaningless arguments.

Luke checked the three men's injuries; the chubby thug and Blue Hair were both knocked out. The one with the pockmarked face remained curled on the floor, unmoving.

Luke pulled up a chair and sat not far from the pockmarked face, "Stop pretending to be dead on the ground."

The pockmarked face didn't respond.

Luke kicked him, "Get up."

The pockmarked face finally got up from the ground, cautiously eyeing Luke. From the moment Luke pulled out a gun, he knew the fight was over, so he had kept his body curled to avoid being seen by Luke.

"Brother, we didn't recognize Mount Tai when we saw it. Please don't hold it against us."

Luke took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff, "What are you doing here today?"

The pockmarked face glanced at the two thugs lying on the ground, hesitated to speak.

"They're still knocked out, and I don't know when they'll wake up. Speak up, and I can keep your secret.

If you dare to lie, I'll make sure you don't leave this door."

"We came looking for that kid in the restaurant, I think his name is Will.

Our boss, Zhang Qilong, seems like he was killed by him."

Luke flicked the ash off his cigarette, "What do you mean 'seems like he was killed by him?' Did you see it happen?"

"No."

"Then why do you say Will killed Zhang Qilong?"

"The day after dining at this restaurant, which was New Year's Eve, we ran into Will, and we had a conflict with him. The boss wanted to beat him up, but that kid ran and hid in an alley, so we split up to catch him.

But he still got away.

Our boss also went missing.

At the time, we thought the boss had gone home, but no one answered the phone.

The next day, his body was found in Chinatown, and the police have come to this restaurant to investigate, so we suspect that Will killed our boss."

Upon hearing news about Will, both Li Zhaonian and Yao Xin became nervous.

Li Zhaonian asked, "Where's Will? What have you done to him?"

The pockmarked face replied, "We don't know where he is either. That kid runs faster than a rabbit, we didn't catch him, or we wouldn't have come here."

Luke continued to ask, "Where did you see Will?"

"On Gold Rush Road. We were all pretty drunk at the time; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten away."

"Why did the conflict happen?"

"We bumped into each other, and Will turned around to leave, but Blue Hair saw him.

Blue Hair has a bad temper and felt that last time at the restaurant, Will didn't show respect to Dragon, so he wanted Will to apologize to him.
