Chapter 30: The Most Dangerous Rogue is an Educated One

Li Eryong actually called over two of his associates.

One was named Lai Hou, who lived up to his name; he was thin and small, with a sharp nose and a monkey-like face.

The other, Li Tiezhu, was Li Eryong’s cousin. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and quite sturdy. However, Li Tiezhu wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, and he had an enormous appetite. At noon, Wu Lihong had prepared a table full of dishes, which Li Tiezhu devoured with the speed of a whirlwind, yet he still wasn't full. Left with no other choice, Wu Lihong had to boil two more packs of noodles for him before he was finally satisfied.

Li Eryong introduced the two to Chen Xuewen and said, "Wen, these are brothers I’ve risked my life with. You can definitely trust them."

Chen Xuewen nodded. He still held a great deal of trust in Li Eryong. He proceeded to explain that Old Hei was coming over that night to seek revenge.

Upon hearing this, Li Tiezhu sat there expressionless, as if he hadn't heard a word. Lai Hou, on the other hand, scratched his head and looked at Li Eryong. "Eryong, is your friend crazy? Old Hei can summon dozens of people with a single phone call. With just the few of us, you want to fight them?"

"If we’re truly tired of living, we might as well go get hit by a car and extort some money. Why go and provoke Old Hei?"

Chen Xuewen’s expression remained calm. "Lai Hou, it was Old Hei who broke Eryong’s limbs. This debt must be collected. If you’re afraid, you can leave right now."

Lai Hou spat on the ground. "Damn it, what the hell do I have to be afraid of? Eryong’s grudge definitely needs to be settled. But I think we need to use our brains when doing things. Doing this is clearly throwing eggs against a rock; it’s not revenge, it’s suicide!"

Chen Xuewen smiled faintly. "Rest assured, as long as you follow my arrangements, dealing with Old Hei won't be difficult at all."

Lai Hou looked skeptical. "Stop talking nonsense. They have dozens of people, and there are only a few of us. How are we supposed to fight them?"

Chen Xuewen replied, "So what if they have more people? Throughout history, how many battles have been won by the few against the many?"

Lai Hou countered, "That’s history! Besides, those were military campaigns. When the few defeat the many, it’s because they used strategy."

"We’re just thugs having a street brawl. How can you compare the two?"

Chen Xuewen smiled indifferently. "Who says you can't use strategy in a street brawl?"

He leaned in toward the three of them and slowly laid out his plan. After hearing it, the three men looked at each other, their faces filled with astonishment.

Lai Hou scratched his head. "Your method… it actually sounds like it might work. But what happens after the fight? Old Hei is a very vengeful person. If he suffers a loss this time, he will definitely come back for revenge later. Next time, this method might not be as effective!"

Chen Xuewen smiled coolly. "After tonight, that man will be nothing more than history."
