"A life for a life, there indeed lies the question of worth."
Luo Yang, however, would not directly trade lives with Da Feng.
"Let's use another method to deal with him." Luo Yang leisurely exhaled smoke.
"How so?" Zhu Li asked.
So Luo Yang shared his plan with Zhu Li.
After hearing it, Zhu Li took a long drag on her cigarette and chuckled. This kid was exactly as Uncle Zhu had predicted, ruthless enough for big endeavors.
The feud with the Lin Family was escalating, either the Lin Family would be destroyed, or Luo Yang would die.
There was no possibility of reconciliation between them.
The Lin Family had many minions; to clean them up one by one would take time.
It was a daunting task.
Just then, Zhu Li's cousin ran over and tapped on the car window.
"There's a call for you!"
So Zhu Li and Luo Yang immediately returned to the van.
It turned out that Da Feng had called the dump truck driver, who had only answered the phone after getting Luo Yang's permission.
The phone was on speaker.
All they heard was Da Feng fuming, "Hey, what are you doing? I just saw his car return to the Hongyun Brigade!"
The dump truck driver looked toward Luo Yang, seeking guidance on what to say.
Unexpectedly, Da Feng was waiting on the road, although it was unclear where exactly.
In that moment, they couldn't coach the dump truck driver on much to say.
Luo Yang then gestured for him to say anything.
"He didn't come this way; I didn't see his car at all," said the dump truck driver.
"If you can't do it, then don't take the job! I'll skin you alive!"
With that, Da Feng hung up the call.
Originally, Luo Yang had wished for the dump truck driver to call Da Feng, invite him out, and then take control of him on the spot.
With this new complication, they needed to reconsider their strategy.
"You invite him out," Luo Yang demanded.
"I can't invite him. He won't give me the time of day," the dump truck driver hesitated.
"If you can't get him, then you'll spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair. I'm giving you one chance," Luo Yang said coldly.
Having already experienced Luo Yang's decisive action, the dump truck driver knew that challenging Luo Yang's boundaries meant a dead end.
He was indeed in a difficult position; if he invited Da Feng out and something happened to him, the Lin Family would take him out.
If he didn't help Luo Yang, he would be crippled right now.
Luo Yang saw his dilemma and said coldly, "Help me, and you can still escape tonight."
After a moment, the dump truck driver nodded and said, "I'll do my best to help you."
Then the dump truck driver dialed Da Feng's mobile number.
When the call connected, they first heard Da Feng cursing.
"Damn it! You still want money?!" Da Feng cursed.
"Brother Feng, I want to apologize in person and take you out for a late-night snack, okay?" the dump truck driver pleaded.
"You'd best disappear tonight, or you're going to die a horrible death!" Da Feng shouted.
Despite more pleading from the dump truck driver, Da Feng did not accept the invitation for a late-night snack.
After hanging up, the dump truck driver said glumly, "Sister Kick, it's not that I didn't invite him; I just couldn't."
Luo Yang had intended to deal with Da Feng that evening, but things didn't go smoothly.
Luo Yang was unwilling to just let Da Feng go like that.
"Think of another way, find out where Da Feng is!" Luo Yang demanded.
So the dump truck driver and another driver started plotting again.
After a while, the dump truck driver timidly said, "Big brother, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
Luo Yang nodded, and the dump truck driver continued, "We could say you're still in the hospital and get him to come out to deal with you, how about that?"
This method might also draw out Da Feng.
Exchanging glances with Zhu Li, Luo Yang had the dump truck driver call Da Feng again.
However, this time the call went unanswered.
Eventually, the dump truck driver sent a message to Da Feng, and two minutes later, Da Feng called back.
"Is he still in the hospital? What car will he take?" Da Feng asked.
"I don't know. Brother Feng, how about you come over and direct on-site?" the dump truck driver said.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Da Feng said coldly, "No need. That kid is exceptionally good at fighting. If he sees me, he might beat me to a pulp."
Hearing this, Luo Yang felt like laughing.
"Anyway, I'll wait for your call. If it's done, call me," Da Feng said.
With these words, things seemed more manageable.
The dump truck remained in its original location.
Therefore, Zhu Li had someone drive the dump truck over and stop it in the middle of the road not far from the hospital entrance.
This stretch of road had fewer vehicles, so even if they stopped the truck in the middle of the road, it was fine.
Then Luo Yang had the dump truck driver call Da Feng.
"Brother Feng! I hit him, don't know if he's dead! What should we do now?" the dump truck driver said.
"Alright, I'll come over and take a look," Da Feng's voice was excited.
At this point, Luo Yang felt that there was a turning point in the situation.
About 10 minutes later, they heard a motorcycle approaching from this direction.
Zhu Li also received a call, and the person watching out at midway confirmed that it was indeed Da Feng on the motorcycle.
At that moment, a boy was driving the Lingdu that Zhu Li came in, heading towards the direction of the incoming motorcycle.
Less than half a minute later, they heard a loud bang.
That loud noise ended Da Feng's life.
Luo Yang didn't want to trouble Zhu Li originally, but given the situation, it seemed hard to find someone more suitable for help.
Luo Yang also knew that the Zhu Family didn't want to escalate conflicts with the Lin Family, but tonight's events would clearly provoke the Lin Family to target the Zhu Family.
The remaining cleanup was handled by others.
Afterward, Zhu Li took Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin to drink at a bar.
In the private room, Luo Yang said, "Sister Kick, I've dragged you into this."
Zhu Li said, "You're my sworn brother, if I don't help you, who will?"
After drinking at the bar for a while, Zhu Li personally drove Luo Yang back to the entrance of the Hongyun Brigade's village.
On the walk back, Hong Jiaxin comforted him, "Luo Yang, are you still thinking about that incident?"
She was aware that Da Feng was no more.
"Squad leader, don't tell Sister An and the others about tonight's event," Luo Yang cautioned.
"It's the first time I knew you could be so ruthless," Hong Jiaxin said.
It wasn't clear whether this was praise or criticism.
Luo Yang countered, "If it were you, what would you have done?"
Hong Jiaxin answered, "Maybe the same as you."
Killing someone is just the beginning.
Luo Yang didn't want to be a killer, but he had no choice.
The Lin Family would seek crazier retaliation in the future, and a deadly clash between the two was imminent.
"Squad leader, are you scared?" Luo Yang asked.
"What's there to be scared of? I've been through worse," Hong Jiaxin said with a cold laugh.
She wasn't wrong.
To say nothing else, just the events that had happened to her were shocking enough.
Luo Yang thought that if beauties like Tang Guihua had the courage of Hong Jiaxin, that would be great.
He was worried that the Lin Family would seek revenge against Tang Guihua.
If he told her about tonight's events, she would probably never dare to drive her Peugeot 308 again, perhaps even scared to drive at all.
In fact, Luo Yang didn't know how to properly warn Tang Guihua.
The Lin Family could likely seize the chance to target the Peugeot 308; only by changing her car or temporarily not driving could Tang Guihua be safest.
Walking back, Luo Yang couldn't think of the right words to say.
If he told beauties like Tang Guihua the truth, they would probably have nightmares every night.
"Squad leader, I want to make Sister An and the others aware of the danger but don't want them to know about tonight's events, what should I do?" Luo Yang asked.
"Just say that on the way back, someone almost hit us. Say it was instigated by the Lin Family," Hong Jiaxin said.
