All the heavens are bound to the palace intrigue system

There's an unwritten rule in gang fights: no guns are used.

Once firearms are used, from an official standpoint, it becomes a major case that must be solved; from a moral standpoint, it becomes a mortal feud.

Of course, there is one type of person who doesn't have to follow this rule—ruthless bandits!

For example, Cheung Tze-keung and Yip Kai-foon.

These people exist solely for the purpose of robbing and killing. People in the underworld rarely provoke them. Although there are countless connections between the two sides, they generally treat each other with "respect."

Among these groups, one stands out as an outlier—the Vietnamese gang.

The Vietnamese gangs started out smuggling arms and were initially just a group of ruthless bandits. Later, they realized that being a bandit had no future, so they switched to the "Number Gang" and eventually went independent. But at their core, they were still a group of ruthless bandits.

Therefore, when Yu Li and Huang Mao appeared in front of this man wearing stockings and carrying guns, the man naturally felt that he had encountered ruthless bandits who were double-crossing him.

ruthless bandits are robbing people; anyone who tries to stop them will be killed!

Over the years, countless cops have died at the hands of ruthless gangsters, let alone a mere hoodlum like him.

The thug didn't dare to resist at all and tremblingly knocked on the door.

The door had barely opened a crack when Yu Li shoved the man inside!

boom!

The door and its occupants slammed into the person behind it. Yu Li stepped inside, his gaze sweeping rapidly across the room, and roared, "Don't move! Put your hands on your heads and crouch down!"

Besides the two people slumped over, there were five others in the living room. One of them, a long-haired man, was sitting alone smoking in the dining area, while the other two were torturing a person who had been gagged in the living room.

The man's hand had three fingers severed, and blood was flowing all over the coffee table, making it a gruesome sight.

Yu Li burst in with a gun, and everyone froze in place.

"Don't make me shoot! Everyone put your hands on your heads and squat down!" Yu Li quickly identified the leader and immediately pointed his gun at the long-haired man sitting in the restaurant smoking.

At this moment, Huang Mao finally mustered up his courage and rushed in. His face was covered by stockings, so his expression was not visible, but his rapid breathing and trembling hands indicated how nervous he was.

"Close the door!" Yu Li shouted in a low voice.

"Oh, oh!" The blond-haired man hurriedly closed the door and locked it.

No one moved; everyone remained frozen in place, all looking at the long-haired man, seemingly waiting for him to speak.

The long-haired man's face was extremely gloomy, but he remained relatively calm: "Friend, I'm Longhair from the Chaozhou Gang. The Chaozhou Gang is doing business here, so give them some face, and they'll definitely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Yu Li cocked the gun and coldly said to the long-haired man, "This is the third time I've said it. Three strikes and you're out!"

Long Hair froze, staring intently at Yu Li, then slowly squatted down, burying his face in his hands.

The others immediately did as instructed, including the two who had just fallen to the ground.

Yu Li instructed, "Ah Huang, go and lock that guy with the missing finger in the bedroom!"

He didn't use Huang Mao's nickname because he was afraid of revealing his identity.

He can't kill everyone here today, so we need to be careful that the Chaozhou gang doesn't come after him later.

It's not surprising that the Chaozhou gang found this place. With the beef offal gone missing, those eyeing his inheritance must be people close to him who know the truth. That's why he's being so cautious about this matter.

"Okay, I'll go!" The blond-haired man went forward, trembling.

"Don't move! Anyone who moves, I'll kill them!" Yu Li said coldly.

Logically, with a gun in control, there shouldn't be any surprises. Yu Li planned to lock the guy with the severed finger in the bedroom, then control the others in another room, and then quickly interrogate the person who provided the money to find out where they were hiding so he could take the money and leave.

He had planned everything perfectly, but he underestimated the guy with the missing finger and overestimated the blond guy.

Perhaps because Huang Mao was too timid, when he tried to shove the man with the severed finger, who was like a dead dog, into the bedroom, the man suddenly sprang up like a madman, snatched the knife from Huang Mao's hand, and held the knife to Huang Mao's neck.

"Don't move!" the man with the severed finger roared madly. "Let me go, or I'll kill him!"

"Don't kill me! Help! Help, help me!" the blond-haired man screamed in terror.

"Let me go! Let me go right now!" the man with the severed finger shouted frantically.

Everyone present was stunned by this turn of events. Then, the long-haired man looked at Yu Li with a playful expression, as if waiting to see how he would handle this tricky situation.

Yu Li cursed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.

He had originally planned to achieve his goal without bloodshed, but now it seems he still has to take action.

His gun remained pointed at the long-haired man, seemingly unaffected by the threat posed by the man with the severed finger.

Not only that, he also walked towards the direction of the long hair.

Longhair's expression changed: "Friend, I think it would be better if we..."

boom!

Yu Li suddenly delivered a powerful side kick, striking Chang Mao on the head. Chang Mao's head slammed heavily against the table leg, and he immediately lost consciousness.

With Yu Li's current strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, this kick would at least cause a concussion.

"Fight him!" someone roared, grabbing a stool and smashing it at Yu Li!

No one present was a fool; they all saw that the other party was in the right and had no intention of compromising. Instead, they wanted to eliminate the external threat first, so they chose to take action!

This stool seemed to have flipped a switch that sparked a fight, and all the gangsters who were lying on the ground yelled and charged towards Yu Li!

They were afraid that Yu Li would shoot, so they chose to swarm him!

But this was exactly what Yu Li wanted, because Yu Li had no intention of firing a shot at all!

This windfall must not be known to anyone. Once Yu Li fires the shot, Ma Jun will be the first to find out.

Therefore, guns are only used for deterrence.

boom!

The phrase "moving like a rabbit" probably best describes Yu Li's current state!

His powerful punch smashed through the stool and landed squarely on a person's face.

At the same time, he darted out like an arrow, his gun-wielding hand blocking a vase that was about to smash down on him. Amidst the sound of shattering glass, he sprang up and kneed someone in the stomach.

The outcome of the battle was already predetermined when Li first dealt with the most intimidating long-haired rebels.

These gangsters were no match for Yu Li, who had now greatly increased his strength and mastered his fighting skills.

It's like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, a sudden and devastating attack!

Punches, elbow strikes, knee strikes...

Every strike was powerful and heavy, and every blow could take down a person!

The man with the severed finger tried to rush toward the gate as soon as the fight started, but Yu Li kept an eye on his movements.

While dealing with a thug, Yu Li deliberately kicked him towards the man with the severed finger, causing the man to stumble. In a flash, Yu Li seized the opportunity, rushed forward, grabbed the man's wrist holding the knife, and twisted it sharply.

Click!

The screams of the man with the severed finger echoed throughout the living room, but the next second, Yu Li pulled him out from behind the blond-haired man, shifted his body, and let the attacks of the two thugs fall on his back and shoulders. His fists rained down, and in the blink of an eye, the man with the severed finger was covered in blood, his eyes were lifeless, and he fell to the ground like a broken sack.

At this point, Yu Licai was able to deal with the last two thugs.

Ten seconds later, Yu Li hit each of the gangsters on the head with a stool leg, knocking them all unconscious.

He glanced at the blond-haired man sitting on the floor, trembling like a leaf, and shouted sternly, "Drag them all into the second bedroom, now!"

Huang Mao jolted awake and instinctively scrambled to his feet to obey. But his legs were so weak that he managed to get up twice before succeeding.

Without further ado, Yu Li went to the living room, picked up the blood-stained dagger from the pool of blood on the coffee table, grabbed the man with the severed finger by the hair, and dragged him to the edge of the dining room and kitchen like a dead dog.

The man with the severed finger was just stunned from the beating, and with only a few teeth left, he was now struggling violently.

Yu Li grabbed him with one hand and slammed half of his body onto the table. Without changing his expression, he raised his knife and plunged it deep into the man's shoulder blade.

"Ugh..."

The man with the severed finger screamed in agony, but he was silenced by a hard slap from Yu Li.

"The key to unit 303 next door! And where's the money hidden?" Yu Li asked coldly.

He didn't care who the man with the severed finger was; whether he was a relative of Niu Za or his most trusted subordinate, it didn't matter.

The beef offal vendor started his business with white flour. There's no need to question him; he's definitely not clean. So, he can be ruthless without any psychological burden.

"Speak up..." Yu Li swung the dagger fiercely.

He pressed down hard on the man's head with one hand, forcing his mouth to the table so that he could only whimper in pain.

Blood instantly stained the man's clothes.

Seeing that he still intended to fight to the death, Yu Li's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly pulled out his dagger, swung his hand and slashed, directly severing his left ear!

"Waaah..." The man with the severed finger struggled violently, but under Yu Li's immense strength, he couldn't break free at all, like a maggot in a pupa.

"If you don't talk, I'll cut all your parts off and feed them to you!" Yu Li threatened in a chilling tone. "Money or your life, the choice is yours! Delay for even a second, and I'll cut off another piece for you to eat!"

"Oh no! Oh no..." The man with the severed finger finally broke down. "The key to the room is next to the pipe under the bathroom sink..."

"Where's the money? Where is it?" Yu Li pressed.

"In the second bedroom next door, open the back panel of the wardrobe, and you'll find a safe embedded in the wall..."

"password!"

"I'm desperate, please spare my life...!"

"You're right, you won't die. If you dare to say something wrong, I'll cut off both your hands!" Yu Li said coldly.

"45913683, yxaqvc, there are two million in there..." the man with the severed finger cried out, "I'm telling the truth, spare me, spare me!"

"Repeat the password!" Yu Li said calmly.

The man with the severed finger cried out and repeated it again.

Instead of letting him go, Yu Li asked about his identity.

According to the man with the severed finger's confession, he was Niu Za's older brother. Although not a member of the underworld, he was a drug addict. Niu Za supplied him with drugs, supported his extravagant spending, and kept an eye on the family fortune.

During the interrogation, Yu Li suddenly made the man with the severed finger repeat the password several times. After making the man repeat it several times, Yu Li knocked him unconscious with a slap. Then he immediately went to the sink in the bathroom and retrieved a key.

Only then did the blond-haired man, panting heavily, drag half of the gangsters into the bedroom.

"Alright, let's go!" Yu Li shouted.

Two black travel bags were placed in a corner of the restaurant. They were empty bags that the gangsters had brought to store money, but now they had become a boon for Yu Li.

The blond-haired man hurriedly dropped the unconscious thug he was holding and rushed to open the door. But his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't open it.

"Get out of the way!"

Yu Li pushed him aside and calmly opened the door.

The two rushed out and slammed the door shut.

"Um?"

Yu Li immediately noticed that someone was behind the door across the hall, seemingly looking out through the peephole.

Yu Li sneered and brandished the gun in his hand: "Dare to call the police, and I'll kill your whole family!"

Exclamations and sounds of falling came from behind the door.

Yu Li only said one sentence before quickly taking Huang Mao downstairs.

When they came out of the building, both of them took off their stockings.

Yu Li moved swiftly, quickly disappearing into the next unit, with Huang Mao following behind, panting and pale-faced.

They soon arrived at the door of the next room. Yu Li took out the key and turned it several times before he could open the complicated and sturdy security door.

He was glad he hadn't tried to pick the lock or break down the door; given the level of security, he would have had no chance of opening it even if he tried his hardest.

The man with the severed finger wasn't lying. After Yu Li opened the bedroom wardrobe, he quickly removed the back panel, revealing a safe embedded in the wall.

If no one tells you, who would find this place?

Following the password given by the man with the severed finger, Yu Li easily opened the safe, and then his breath caught in his throat.

money!

A whole cabinet full of money!

He didn't dare waste any time and immediately opened his travel bag to start stuffing money into it.

Seeing the blond-haired guy still standing there dumbfounded, he said impatiently, "Hey, help me out!"

"Oh!" The blond-haired man hurriedly stepped forward, his hands still trembling violently.

"Hurry! We need to take the money before the police arrive and get out of here quickly!" Yu Li said quickly.

"Did someone call the police?" The blond-haired man's emphasis had changed.

"Of course! With that much noise, someone's bound to call the police!" Yu Li said, quickly stuffing the money into his bag. "But they'll go to the next unit first, not here! We have to hurry, or we'll be done for if the police come here before we're gone!"

Actually, Yu Li didn't kill anyone today. Except for the man with the severed finger, who was in a rather tragic situation, everyone else was just knocked unconscious. Even if the police catch him, he has ways to escape punishment by using his informant status.

However, this would mean losing this windfall. Therefore, leaving quickly before anyone notices is the right thing to do.

Two million in cash filled two whole bags, and even that wasn't enough. In the end, Yu Li and Huang Mao each had more than a dozen stacks of money in their pockets.

After putting the money away, Yu Li found a hat and a mask in the closet, which would be perfect for disguising himself.

The two of them went out and downstairs unharmed.

After exiting the building, they discovered several police cars parked at the entrance of the next unit, and several police officers guarding the entrance.

"Don't look that way!" Yu Li warned the nervous blond-haired man. "Come with me, walk slowly, walk naturally!"

The two walked in the opposite direction. A policeman glanced in their direction but didn't pay any attention.

Soon, the two entered a small alley. Yu Li began to speed up, leading the blond-haired man.

After arriving at another street, Yu Li hailed a taxi, and the two got in and drove away.

He sat there for most of the day.

During this time, the two changed clothes and bags, and eventually even put the money in a suitcase.

After walking around almost half of Hong Kong Island, stopping and starting, making sure that no one would follow them, the two finally stopped.
