“Did Huo Xiao Xi send you?!” Zhao Yu squinted.
“Who’s Huo Xiao Xi? I don’t know…” Huo Da Hai stubbornly replied.
“Do I know you? Why would you try to kill me for no reason?”
“I don’t like you, is that not enough?!”
Huo Da Hai was truly perplexed at this moment. Why would Zhao Yu have such a group of gunmen with him?
They were clearly not ordinary; they were likely trained militarily, a luxury only major powers could afford.
Huang Mao and others brought over the weapons from Huo Da Hai and his men.
Zhao Yu glanced over them: four guns in total, one shotgun, and three pistols. Their condition was ragged one too.
There were a bunch of sticks and knives, more than what Huo Da Hai and his men had brought.
A gun would be enough to kill him. Why would they bring all these weapons?!
“If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine. The only person I can think of is Huo Xiao Xi. Since she sent you, I’ll capture her first…”
“It was my idea, she has nothing to do with her…” Huo Da Hai was immediately panicked, hastily replying,
“Zhao Yu, if you dare to touch her, I’ll kill you…”
Huo Da Hai was defiant, struggling continuously.
It was evident that his sister meant a lot to him.
“They’re here for me. Stop the bleeding, tie them up and bring them along…” “Why should I listen to you?!” the Captain replied Zhao Yu.
“Heh heh!”
“Where’s the gun 1 gave you before?!”
Stubble-bearded Big Brother knelt on the spot, “Brother Zhao Yu, they took my gun…”
“Retrieve it. When 1 ask for it, you’d better have it on you…” Zhao Yu casually remarked.

The Captain grasped Zhao Yu’s veiled threat and felt a deep sense of oppression.
He remembered Zhao Yu’s words from the black market.
Zhao Yu declared that with his capabilities, he could revive any bankrupt companies and make twenty, thirty, or even fifty million.
The Captain felt that perhaps Zhao Yu could genuinely accomplish that.
“Stop the bleeding!”
As Stubble-bearded Big Brother nervously picked up his gun and approached Zhao Yu, the Captain issued the order to treat Huo Da Hai and his men’s injuries.
Zhao Yu smiled and nodded as these guards would listen to him to some extent.
Of course, as long as he doesn’t try to escape.
After all, their families were under the threat of the Huang family.
Tactics of tricking these guards against the Huang family was out of the question.
Zhao Yu’s goal was to have these guards follow his minor instructions, making it easier for his subsequent plans.
After this diversion, Huo Da Hai gradually calmed down and began to explain, “This has nothing to do with my sister. I had a little brother in school looking after her. He said you harassed her, so 1 took action. She knows nothing about it…”
“I harassed her?!”
Wasn’t it always Huo Xiao Xi who was pestering him?
However, he understood that Huo Da Hai was trying to shoulder the blame.
Zhao Yu showed his respect to honor Huo Da Hai and his followers by treating their wound for not revealing any secrets to them.
This loyalty was far superior to that of people like Stubble-bearded Big Brother, at least he could worried less about betrayal.
Zhao Yu instructed Stubble-bearded Big Brother to collect the weapons and equipment brought by Huo Da Hai and his men.
The Huang family guards have no interest in these worn-out weapons, allowing Zhao Yu to collect them.
All the motorcycles brought by Huo Da Hai and his group were also taken. Zhao Yu even specially borrowed a few men from the Captain to help ride them back. On the way, Zhao Yu asked Huo Da Hai’s hideout.
Even if Zhao Yu threated him using his sister if he still remained silent. Huo Da Hai still would not spilled a word.
Unexpectedly, his subordinate told Zhao Yu about the location.
“Brother, you f * eking idiot!” Huo Da Hai cursed.
“Yang, our lives are all yours. We could die for you and our sister, Xiao Xi…” “You must have watched too many television dramas. If you don’t say anything, Second Brother and the rest will know that we’ve been kidnapped. There’s still a chance for them to rescue us. Now….”
Eighth Brother cursed himself after he thought about it.
Zhao Yu rolled down the window and said to a youngster riding a motorcycle beside him, “Report to Captain Huang that I’ll need his help soon.”
The youngster immediately slowed down his motorcycle to relay the message. Given the skills of the guards, they could easily take out his remaining men. However, he also made a discovery during his captivity: the guards weren’t actually under Zhao Yu’s command. In fact, they seemed to harbor animosity towards Zhao Yu.
But paradoxically, they were protecting him. There seemed to have some conflict between them.
Huo Da Hai decided to wait and observed whether the Captain Huang would cooperate.
The captain had already briefed Leader Huang on the entire situation, including the detail about the bank being in Bing City.
Surprisingly, Leader Huang didn’t blame him.
Instead, he praised him and advised that as long as Zhao Yu doesn’t leave Bing City, his minor requests should be obliged.
“Father, Zhao Yu has killed our people. Are we really protecting him?” Huang Zi Long questioned his father.
“Considering Zhao Yu’s performance in the black market, he seems to be quite a figure…
” If he can actually turn ten million into twenty million in a month as he claims, then it’s a win for us.”
“But our men were killed!” Huang Zi Long stressed.
“Think properly. Are those dead men worth ten million?”
“Even if they were all dead, they wouldn’t worth ten million. Understand?”
“Enough. You still don’t get it. You’ll understand it soon.”
“But…” Huang Zi long wanted to argue about loyalty but he knew his father was not listening.
“Brother Zhao Yu, Captain Huang agreed to help,” said the youngster on the motorcycle.
After today’s events, people like Stubble-bearded Big Brother and his gang were both fearful and respectful of Zhao Yu.
They remembered their choice to stop the attempt to attack Zhao in a private room, which it turned out to be a good choice.
Huo Da Hai interjected, “Ask them not to act rashly. I surrender. I can convince my people to lay down their arms…”
Huo Da Hai knew the capabilities of his remaining men. They were no match for Captain Huang’s guards. A direct confrontation would be a death sentence. Surrendering might give them a fighting chance.
With the agreement to peacefully surrender, Zhao Yu and Huo Da Hai discussed the specifics details.
Soon, they arrived at a building near Bing City University. Huo Da Hai’s were released to convinced his brothers.
“Go on, tell your men to come out and surrender. If you deceive me, you know the consequences,” Zhao Yu warned.
With a bitter expression, Huo Da Hai walked straight into the base, ignoring the glances from his associates.
Around ten minutes later, Huo Da Hai led a group of about ten men out, their hands was empty.
From a distance, Captain Huang observed and admired Huo Da Hai’s sense of loyalty.
Such honorable men to his words at current world was very rare.
Zhao Yu smiled slightly and walked over. He was genuinely interested in Huo Da Hai and his men. If he could win them over, it would be a bonus to his plan..
