Chapter 163 Hongmen Banquet

Yang Qian looked at Li Qing gratefully, with a hint of emotion in her eyes.

"Thank you!"

Li Qing took a deep breath and stared into Yang Qian's eyes.

"But please keep your promise!"

"Don't worry, I will!" Yang Qian nodded solemnly with a firm expression.

Li Qing was silent for a moment, then asked: "So, can you tell me now who the middleman is?"

Yang Qian hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

"I can tell you, but you have to promise me one thing!"

"Please speak!" Li Qing's tone was firm and he looked at her intently.

"Please don't pursue the matter between me and my senior brothers, and don't continue to interfere in our affairs!" Yang Qian's expression was a little hesitant, and she seemed to be considering whether to state this condition.

Li Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Yang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, she knew this was her only chance.

"The middleman is a gang leader named Liu Peng. He runs a nightclub in a bar in the west of the city. That's his office!"

Li Qing recorded this information with a serious expression.

"I'll go find him!"

"Thank you!" Yang Qian expressed her gratitude and then turned and left.

The next morning, Li Qing arrived at the bar in the west of the city early.

This is Liu Peng’s base and also his nightclub.

Li Qing pushed open the door of the bar and a strong smell of alcohol hit him in the face.

The atmosphere in the bar seemed a bit chaotic, with music booming and patrons drinking and chatting enthusiastically.

He looked around, looking for Liu Peng.

In a dim corner, he saw a man in a black suit sitting behind a high bar, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply, as if observing everyone's every move.

Li Qing walked to the bar and looked directly at the man.

He could feel the vigilance in the other's eyes, but he was not afraid.

"Are you Liu Peng?" Li Qing's voice was calm and firm.

Liu Peng turned his head and glanced at Li Qing sharply.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"I'm Li Qing!" Li Qing introduced himself without any reservation.

"I know you are the middleman, and I have some questions for you!"

Liu Peng frowned slightly. He didn't like others disturbing his business.

"I'm not interested in who you are, now get out of here or you'll suffer the consequences!"

"Wait, you said you were Li Qing?"

Suddenly, Liu Peng recognized Li Qing and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He walked up to Li Qing and stretched out his hand as if to shake hands with Li Qing.

"Oh, Brother Li, what a coincidence to meet you here!" Liu Peng said with a smile.

Li Qing was not moved by Liu Peng's enthusiasm. He looked at Liu Peng coldly: "You recognized me?"

Liu Peng laughed: "Of course I recognized you, you are a famous person!"

Li Qing didn't say anything, but just waited quietly for Liu Peng's next words.

Liu Peng looked around, then said to Li Qing: "It's not convenient here, let's go to the private room inside to discuss in detail!"

He turned around and led Li Qing towards the private room inside the bar.

In the box, he motioned Li Qing to sit down, and then winked at the thugs outside the door.

The thug immediately closed the door of the box and made a gesture to Liu Peng.

Liu Peng showed a grim smile, he turned around and faced Li Qing, his words revealing a hint of pride: "I didn't expect that Yang Qian couldn't deal with you, it was really beyond my expectation.

But it doesn’t matter, I can complete this deal myself! ”

After saying that, Liu Peng signaled to the thugs behind him, and they immediately surrounded Li Qing.

The four thugs followed Liu Peng's instructions and rushed forward to attack Li Qing.

They were agile, and their movements were swift and fierce, as if they had a tacit understanding, trying to trap Li Qing.

Li Qing frowned slightly, but he was not panicked at all. He dodged the attacks of the thugs as nimbly as a civet cat.

"What do you want to do?" Li Qing asked coldly, while dodging the thugs' punches and kicks.

Liu Peng stood aside, observing the whole process with a sneer.

He had complete confidence in his thugs and believed they were capable of subduing Li Qing.

"Brother Li, you'd better surrender obediently to avoid being tortured!" Liu Peng said sarcastically.

Li Qing's heart sank, realizing that Liu Peng did not mean to have a good talk with him.

He faced the four thugs fearlessly, ready to fight with all his might.

The thugs attacked Li Qing one after another, punching him hard in the flesh. They used their numerical advantage to try to subdue Li Qing quickly.

However, Li Qing is not so easy to deal with.

He dodged every move flexibly, sometimes ducking sideways, sometimes quickly changing position, like a nimble cheetah, always maintaining keen observation and reaction.

He did not seek to engage in combat with the thugs, but rather used the gaps between them, looking for a breakthrough.

"Be careful, don't let him run away!" Liu Peng shouted harshly. He watched the fight between the thugs and Li Qing anxiously. He had to subdue Li Qing as soon as possible, otherwise his plan would be affected.

"It seems that you are quite confident in your abilities!" Li Qing said lightly. He glanced at the thugs, calm and alert.

Liu Peng laughed and patted his thugs, saying, "Yes, Brother Li, my brothers are all martial artists, so playing with you is a piece of cake!"

Li Qing smiled slightly, his eyes like cold stars: "If that's the case, then come on!"

Liu Peng winked at his men, and they immediately attacked Li Qing again in unison.

These people moved swiftly and coordinated well, and it was obvious that they had some skills in fighting.

Li Qing took a deep breath, moved as fast as a swallow, easily dodged the opponent's punches and kicks, and then quickly counterattacked.

His boxing style is like flowing water, with many changes, and each move is skillful and sharp.

Inside the box, the sound of fists whistling and bodies colliding could be heard.

Liu Peng stood aside, with a cunning gleam in his eyes, and seemed to be full of confidence in his thugs.

However, as the battle progressed, Liu Peng's expression gradually became solemn.

Li Qing's strength was far beyond his imagination, and his thugs were gradually at a disadvantage.

"Brother Li, you are really awesome. I admire you!" Liu Peng showed surprise, but there was a sly glimmer in his eyes.

Li Qing smiled coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, what are you going to do?" Liu Peng looked at the thugs around him, then clapped his hands towards the door.

Then, the door of the box was opened, and several tall men came in, exuding a sinister aura.

"Li Qing, I didn't expect that you would still be defeated by me!" Liu Peng sneered.

Li Qing looked at him coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"You guys performed this play very well, but unfortunately, the final result is not what you imagined!"

Li Qing's eyes were as sharp as a knife as he glanced at Liu Peng and his men. Facing the impending fight, his heart was as calm as water.

He knew that the battle ahead would be a life-and-death struggle, but he was ready.

Liu Peng's men approached step by step. Li Qing smiled slightly, and his body instantly spread out, like a swift dragon, and rushed towards one of the thugs like lightning.

His punches and kicks were like a violent storm, impenetrable, and every blow hit the opponent's vital points accurately.

Under Li Qing's attack, the thug was unable to resist at all and was beaten back repeatedly.

Li Qing turned around and grabbed his arm, threw him to the ground, then quickly pounced on the next target.

Seeing this, Liu Peng's face turned pale. He knew the situation was not right and hurriedly gave orders to his men.

However, Li Qing was so fast and agile that the fighters were unable to stop his attack.

Inside the box, the sound of fists hitting flesh continued to be heard, accompanied by the screams of the thugs.

Every powerful punch from Li Qing deeply stimulated the fear in Liu Peng's heart.

"Come on! Don't let him do anything stupid again!" Liu Peng roared, with a fierce look in his eyes.

The thugs around him increased their offensive and launched a fierce attack on Li Qing.

Although Li Qing faced many opponents, he was not afraid at all.

He was extremely agile and each of his moves accurately hit his opponent's weaknesses, knocking them to the ground one by one.

The people present were stunned and all marveled at Li Qing's strength.

Liu Peng's expression became more and more solemn, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Kill this guy!" Liu Peng shouted with gritted teeth, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.

He was unwilling to accept failure, and even more unwilling to be defeated by an outsider on his own turf.

A hint of vigilance flashed in Li Qing's eyes. He knew that the current situation was not optimistic.

There were more and more thugs around him, and he was in the box, facing Liu Peng and his assistant, and the situation was very unfavorable.

"What exactly do you want?" Li Qing asked in a cold voice, his eyes always fixed on Liu Peng and Liu Peng's assistant, without any slackness.

Liu Peng smiled proudly: "Li Qing, I said that I must take this money."

His tone was full of threats, but also revealed confidence in his own strength.

Assistant Liu Peng walked towards Li Qing with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Li Qing, your only choice now is to surrender."

Assistant Liu Peng sneered, looking very smug.

Li Qing frowned slightly, his eyes cold: "I will never give in to evil forces."

His voice was cold and firm, revealing an unshakable determination.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the box.

The thugs outside the door seemed to be engaged in a fierce fight. Li Qing's heart moved and he realized that this was his chance.

He took advantage of the distraction of Liu Peng and Liu Peng's assistant, exerted force suddenly, and hit Liu Peng's assistant's vital point with a lightning-fast kick, knocking him to the ground.

Liu Peng was furious when he saw this. He swung his fist and hit Li Qing hard, but Li Qing dodged it easily, then hit back with his hand and knocked Liu Peng away.

In the box, Li Qing and Liu Peng's men engaged in a fierce fight.

Liu Peng's men were very cunning. They worked in perfect harmony and surrounded Li Qing in an orderly manner, trying to trap him.

Li Qing responded calmly. He used softness to overcome hardness, flexibly dodging the enemy's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

His fists and feet moved as fast as lightning, and each blow accurately hit the enemy's vital points, knocking them to the ground one by one.

Seeing his men being defeated, Liu Peng was filled with rage. He shouted coldly, "Catch him!"

His men followed his orders and rushed towards Li Qing, trying to suppress him with their numerical advantage.

Li Qing did not flinch in the face of intensive attacks. He fought against many enemies alone and displayed his superb martial arts skills in every move.

Suddenly, one of his men attacked from behind, trying to take the opportunity to attack Li Qing.

Although Li Qing noticed it, it was too late for him to react. He could only dodge to the side and barely avoided the fatal blow.

"Li Qing, it seems you have some skills too."

Liu Peng sneered, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

Li Qing looked at Liu Peng coldly without saying anything. He knew there was no turning back now and he could only fight to the end.

Liu Peng let out a roar, and his men took the opportunity to launch an attack, attempting to trap Li Qing.

Li Qing faced attacks from all directions but remained calm. He turned the passive situation into active one and fought back with lightning speed.

With whistling fists and solid footsteps, Li Qing's moves were as continuous as a violent storm, beating Liu Peng's men back step by step.

There was a determination gleam in his eyes. He knew that only by completely defeating these people could he continue to pursue clues to the truth.

Li Qing was agile and strong, like a tiger descending from the mountains. Every move he made was filled with murderous intent and determination.

Liu Peng's men were beaten back step by step by him, and for a while the box was in chaos with an alarming momentum.

"Li Qing, I'm here to help you!" Yang Qian's voice suddenly rang out, and she actually joined the battle.

It turned out that she was the one who caused the commotion outside the door just now.

She was agile and her moves were deadly. She cooperated well with Li Qing and defeated Liu Peng's men.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Peng shouted angrily: "Come on, don't let them escape!"

His men roared and rushed towards Li Qing and Yang Qian desperately.

Liu Peng took the opportunity to pick up a knife from the corner of the box and stared coldly at Li Qing and Yang Qian.

"Li Qing, you are such a stubborn guy."

Liu Peng sneered, "Let me see how long you can hold on!"

Li Qing's face was solemn. He knew that the current situation was very dangerous.

He clenched his fists tightly, ready to meet the attack from Liu Peng and his men.

The atmosphere in the box was tense and filled with suppressed fighting spirit. Swords flashed and fists and feet fought, and a life-and-death struggle officially began.

Li Qing and Yang Qian fought side by side. They cooperated with each other and had a tacit understanding, just like a pair of comrades-in-arms.

Li Qing's punches were fierce, and each of them hit the enemy's vital points, causing Liu Peng's men to retreat step by step.

Yang Qian was agile and nimble, her figure appearing and disappearing like a nimble cheetah, sometimes launching unexpected attacks, sometimes quickly dodging the enemy's counterattacks.

Liu Peng's men tried their best, but were still unable to withstand the fierce attack of Li Qing and Yang Qian.

The two of them cooperated well, covered each other, and knocked Liu Peng's men to the ground one by one.
