Their original plan was quite good: the man with the bulbous nose would lead a few people to block the way in front, while Lu Wenlong and his group would lead their men to block the way behind them. Once Hu Dahai and his group had passed, the man with the bulbous nose would give a signal to the rest of them, and then the people behind them would come over.

The main problem, of course, was that Lu Wenlong suddenly got a craving for alcohol, so he found a small liquor store nearby and bought some. The group sat on the other side of the alley drinking. As they drank, they became addicted and forgot about what had happened.

It wasn't until the man with the bulbous nose shouted that some of them finally reacted, and they quickly led their men out.

Although they knew they were in the wrong, they couldn't admit it was their problem, so they said these words and shifted the blame onto the man with the red nose.

“Brother Long…” The man with the bulbous nose had no intention of refuting. He turned around with difficulty, revealing his wet pants.

"Useless trash, get to the back!" Lu Wenlong cursed angrily as he approached Hu Dahai.

When Lu Wenlong saw Hu Dahai, he found that Hu Dahai was staring straight at him.

It was like a ferocious beast eyeing its prey, or a warrior staring at his father's killer. His eyes held murderous intent and resentment, making Lu Wenlong's back tremble with fear.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do I know you?" Lu Wenlong asked, puzzled, feeling very strange.

However, as he spoke, when he looked at Hu Dahai again, he felt as if he had indeed seen him somewhere before, so he asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

"Heh." Hu Dahai sneered and asked directly, "When were you released? You only served a few years in prison for killing someone? Weren't you supposed to serve 20 years?"

Lu Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood everything. He finally knew who Hu Dahai was in front of him.

"So it was you all along." Lu Wenlong laughed. "I behaved well inside and achieved a lot, so naturally I could get my sentence reduced one after another and be released from prison early."

Hu Dahai's forehead veins throbbed; he couldn't believe the world had turned out this way. The man before him, Lu Wenlong, was the very culprit who had murdered his wife.

The reason Hu Dahai became a single father was because his wife was hit hard by a drunk driver in a car accident. By the time Hu Dahai arrived at the scene, his wife had already been taken to the hospital. Although she survived thanks to the doctors' efforts, she was left with serious health problems.

Not only was he unable to live a normal life afterward, suffering from constant pain in one area and another, but within a few years, his various illnesses worsened, eventually leading to multiple organ failure and his death.

The driver who hit and injured Hu Dahai's wife that day was Lu Wenlong, standing right in front of us. At the time, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for drunk driving, other traffic violations, hit-and-run, and other crimes. But now, less than 15 years have passed, and he has been released, a full ten years ahead of schedule.

Judging from this, Lu Wenlong must have been released from prison a long time ago, probably more than ten years earlier.

Hu Dahai was puzzled, but even more so, he was furious. He vaguely remembered the extremely contemptuous and disdainful look Lu Wenlong had given him when he was locked up, and now he was hearing these arrogant words from Lu Wenlong.

Now that I think about it, is it possible that Lu Wenlong already knew he would be released early?

"It seems you're quite confident you can get out soon," Hu Dahai said with a sneer.

Hu Dahai was already very dissatisfied with the fact that Lu Wenlong was only sentenced to 25 years.

Because the doctors and everyone else at the time were clearly biased towards Lu Wenlong, saying things like Hu Dahai's wife hadn't died, only been seriously injured. The truth is, his wife did survive, but she was left with a serious, even fatal, health condition, and passed away not long after.

Unfortunately, Hu Dahai was a nobody at the time, and although he wanted to fight them, he had to give up because he had several children to take care of at home.

However, his choice to endure for the sake of his child doesn't mean he's completely forgotten about it. On the contrary, he remembers it vividly, and in this life, reborn, he's determined to settle this score. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor; whoever deserves to taste the bitterness of hatred will be made to do so.

“Of course. Although I may look like I’m just from the Lingdong Brigade, you don’t know who I’m working for.” Lu Wenlong’s reply to Hu Dahai was full of pride.

Upon hearing this, Hu Dahai immediately understood. It seemed that Lu Wenlong's boss treated him very well. However, he quickly had another question: What kind of boss would be so good to his employee? To the point of helping someone get a reduced sentence?

Before Hu Dahai could think further, Lu Wenlong continued, "We told you we'd give you money and settle this privately, but you insisted on making me pay. Heh, now it seems you're the fool. Otherwise, you'd already be enjoying a comfortable life with plenty of money, why would you need to sell fish?"

"What a small world! Heaven has once again delivered you into my hands, so you can't sell your fish anymore, which will be avenge for my imprisonment." Lu Wenlong said, feeling very pleased, with a sense of satisfaction at the prospect of getting his revenge.

Over the years, he felt both grateful and resentful towards Hu Dahai and his group. He was grateful because if Hu Dahai hadn't insisted on making them pay the price, he certainly wouldn't have gained the boss's favor so much.

But those years in prison, those painful memories, always needed an outlet to vent, and Hu Dahai in front of him was just the right choice.

"Hehe, I wonder who God sent to whom." Hu Dahai was not afraid at all, and calmly spoke as he faced Lu Wenlong's group of tall and fat men.

At the same time, he turned to Guan Asan and said, "You just run around on your own. Don't worry about the fish or me."

Hu Dahai has decided to confront Lu Wenlong and his group. He won't kill Lu Wenlong outright; even if it means getting injured himself, he will cripple Lu Wenlong and teach him a lesson about being betrayed and abandoned by everyone, and what it means to wish he were dead.

"I won't leave! I want to stay with you!" Guan Asan insisted, though his voice still trembled slightly.

"You're pretty arrogant. Looks like making a few bucks selling fish has made you a bit cocky." Lu Wenlong still looked down on Hu Dahai. "Don't think you're invincible just because you beat those few good-for-nothings down."

"The people behind me are all top-notch fighters."

As Lu Wenlong spoke, he pointed to the people behind him.

By this time, a crowd of passersby had gathered around, drawn by the commotion. When they saw the scene, they were all horrified.

Several people recognized Lu Wenlong.

"Holy crap, isn't that Lu Wenlong, Brother Long...? This guy is not to be trifled with, he's too terrifying. I heard there was a guy in the next city who refused to relocate, and Lu Wenlong broke his legs on the spot."

“I’ve heard about this too. Now, wherever Lu Wenlong takes action, even the most stubborn holdouts will obediently move out.”

"Several members of their team have trained. Last time they fought against another group, there were only two of them, but they took down more than a dozen of the other group."

"Let's stay away from them, those two are definitely going to be in trouble."

Hearing the comments from the onlookers, Lu Wenlong became even more smug.

He looked around, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Fellow villagers, I had no intention of making enemies with this person. It's just that he stole our fish and beat our people, so I had no choice but to take action."

After saying that, Lu Wenlong waved his hand: "Brothers, get them!"

Guan Asan had his eyes tightly shut. Judging from the looks of it, he was going to get beaten up today. He had to squat down and cover his head so that his face wouldn't get hurt. He was already poor; he couldn't afford to be ugly too.

At this tense moment, a car screeched to a halt on the side of the road.

A man quickly got out of the car and shouted, "Stop!"
