Xu Zifan had already asked Shao Hua to send a message to Zhou Hao. Shao Hua started scanning and immediately located Zhou Hao on the virtual screen. Xu Zifan fought and retreated, running towards Zhou Hao's direction.
Zhou Hao walked out from around the corner, and Xu Zifan bumped into him. Zhou Hao was caught in the crossfire and took a hit from the stick.
Zhou Hao immediately flew into a rage, "Damn it, you dare to hit me? You're asking for death!" He cursed and started fighting with the people from the West District, which immediately relieved the pressure on Xu Zifan.
On the beach, Uncle Qiu and his men were robbing a sissy's goods when a fight broke out. Suddenly, a large number of police officers rushed out, and many police cars surrounded them. Uncle Qiu was startled and hurriedly opened fire on the police, ordering his men to protect him as they fled. In his panic, he dialed Xu Zifan's number for help, but to his dismay, he couldn't get through!
Xu Zifan was there to provide backup for him. Anyone else he tried to find was too far away to get there in time, so he had to fight on his own. Of course, they failed to break through, and all of them were captured; not one of them escaped.
Since Xu Zifan's side was backup, they had arranged a lot of manpower in the nightclub. As soon as the underling ran to the nightclub and shouted, they all grabbed their weapons and ran over. When the people in the West District saw that Xu Zifan had Zhou Hao by his side and that so many people had appeared, they knew they wouldn't get the better of him and quickly retreated.
Seeing Sparrow's unconscious state, Iron Fist cursed with bloodshot eyes, jumped into his car, and chased after the people from the West District alone, ignoring their calls. Meanwhile, Dali sat on the ground pressing his legs, Xu Zifan leaned against Zhou Hao with his eyes half-closed, and the only sober and rational executive present was Ahua.
Ahua said urgently, "Quickly drive the car over here and take Fan, Dali, and Sparrow to the hospital. You guys go after Iron Fist, hurry up!"
Everyone sprang into action. Zhou Hao was about to leave when Ahua called out to him, "Brother, brother, stay a while. You saved Brother Fan, you must wait until Brother Fan wakes up before you leave."
Seeing this, the henchmen next to him pushed Zhou Hao into the car as well. The scene was too chaotic just now, and no one really saw what happened. They just knew that they would hit anyone they didn't know. Now, with Ahua's words in front of everyone, Zhou Hao became Xu Zifan's savior.
They ran several red lights and rushed to the hospital. The doctor who examined the sparrow shook his head and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I did my best. He had been dead for more than twenty minutes when he was brought in. Please accept my condolences."
Ahua staggered, turned around and punched the wall behind him. Several henchmen quickly stopped him, saying, "Brother Hua, Brother Fan and Brother Li are still inside."
Ahua sat in the chair with his head down and said in a deep voice, "Quickly bring Iron Fist back and tell him something happened."
"Yes, Brother Hua."
Immediately afterward, the doctors who examined Dali and Xu Zifan came out. They were arranged by Chen Guowei. As soon as they saw Ahua, they said that the situation was serious. They said that Dali had a fracture and would be lame if he did not rest properly. Xu Zifan had a concussion and was unconscious. He needed to rest in bed and observe his recovery.
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, a henchman ran over in a panic, clutching his phone and stammering, "Brother Hua, Brother Tie... his car went off the cliff, it exploded..."
"What?!" Ahua jumped up and grabbed his clothes. "Where's Iron Fist? Have you seen Iron Fist?"
"Brother Hua, Brother Tie, he... he was in the car, it exploded..."
"Impossible! I'm going to find him. You guys stay here and keep an eye on Fan Ge and Dali."
After saying that, Ahua rushed out of the hospital, and no one could stop him, nor did anyone dare to.
Zhou Hao frowned, muttered "troublesome," and got up to leave. Many people saw him, but no one cared about him or stopped him.
Xu Zifan's four brothers were all his trusted confidants. Now, two were dead and one was injured, causing widespread panic. They couldn't imagine how furious Xu Zifan would become once he regained consciousness. This tragic news spread rapidly throughout the East District. At the same time, news also broke that Uncle Qiu and the effeminate man had been arrested. Tang Zhentian rushed to the hospital immediately, and soon after, Baldy and his gang arrived as well.
Xu Zifan was unconscious and didn't need to deal with them. Dali had a broken leg and was in a cast, so he couldn't move and could only rest. Ahua ran out to search for Iron Fist, but there wasn't a single person in charge here, and it was all very noisy.
Tang Zhentian rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He told his underlings to disperse, leaving four people to guard the hospital, before taking his men back for a meeting.
The West District was also having a meeting. They were celebrating their successful revenge against Xu Zifan when they learned that the effeminate man had been arrested. The joyful atmosphere vanished instantly, and they immediately suspected that a traitor had betrayed the effeminate man. The atmosphere became extremely tense.
Ahua led a search party all night but couldn't find Iron Fist. Everyone knew that Iron Fist had been blown up with the car. He returned to the hospital looking haggard and saw Xu Zifan, who had already woken up. He just lowered his head and said, "Brother Fan, Iron Fist and Sparrow are gone."
Xu Zifan's face immediately darkened, as if a storm was brewing. He went to see Dali, told him to rest and recover, and then left the hospital immediately.
The East District was still in a meeting when Xu Zifan rushed over, his face pale. His first words were, "Godfather, we can't stay in the West District."
The bald man said with a grim face, "Zifan, Old Qiu is in jail, and some of your brothers are in trouble too..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Zifan interrupted, "Then we can't compromise. I must avenge my brother. If you all think this is my personal grudge, fine, I'll lead my own men to fight the West District. But afterwards, all the territory I seize from the West District will belong to me, and all the businesses I take back will belong to me. If you all have no objections, then it's settled."
The group exchanged glances, naturally disagreeing. They weren't truly cowards; this whole mess was started by Tang Jiao.
The West District started the trouble; it wasn't Xu Zifan's fault at all. It was just that things escalated step by step, unexpectedly triggering such a serious conflict that no one could have predicted.
Let's fight. They must gain something; profit is the most important thing.
Tang Zhentian listened to their argument for a while and wanted to calm them down and discuss things further. However, Xu Zifan made it clear that he wanted to take revenge immediately. The others were afraid that Xu Zifan would not share the profits with them, so none of them wanted to wait. They all said in a grand manner that the West District could not be left behind and that they had to teach them a lesson and take over the business.
Although Tang Zhentian was the leader, he couldn't go against their wishes since everyone was so united. In the end, he agreed to their proposal, officially clashing with the West District and aggressively seizing territory and business.
As for Uncle Qiu's arrest, although it was infuriating, Xu Zifan, who was providing backup, got into trouble and two of his brothers died. No matter how you look at it, you can't blame him. Nobody can say anything, so it can only be left unresolved, and we'll see if we can get Uncle Qiu out.
After the meeting, Tang Zhentian gave Xu Zifan a few words of advice, telling him to calm down. Xu Zifan outwardly agreed and went back to reorganize his men. Tang Zhentian didn't say anything when he found out. He had just lost a brother, and it was only in line with his youthful spirit to be eager for revenge. Tang Zhentian had initially valued his loyalty and righteousness, so he naturally couldn't expect him to be cold-blooded now.
Tang Zhentian, however, felt uneasy, sensing that something was amiss.
The gang was busy fighting for territory with the West District and trying to win over Uncle Qiu, so they didn't have time to pay much attention to Xu Zifan. Xu Zifan personally arranged the funerals for Sparrow and Iron Fist. The funerals were simple because he swore in front of their ashes that he would give them a grand funeral after avenging them.
The two men simply disappeared from his side, but he took Zhou Hao with him. He said Zhou Hao was his savior; after waking up, he sent people to search for him for two days before finally finding him. Seeing that Zhou Hao was very skilled in combat, he took him in as a bodyguard and gave him a considerable amount of money.
This was very much in line with Xu Zifan's personality. Some people in the gang did a quick check on Zhou Hao's background and found that he had just been released from prison for crippling someone. They thought they were all on the same side and didn't pay any more attention to him. They were secretly jealous of Xu Zifan's good fortune, as he had just lost a capable fighter, Iron Fist, and was replaced by an even more capable fighter, Zhou Hao. They didn't think much of it.
One late night, Xu Zifan saw off Sparrow and Iron Fist, who had faked their deaths. Sparrow's wife also left this sad place under the pretext of being too heartbroken, and successfully reunited with Sparrow.
In the following days, Xu Zifan stopped sending anyone to watch over Dali; only Dali's girlfriend took care of him at the hospital. Da Dong from the West District was also staying at the same hospital and, of course, wouldn't miss this opportunity to cause trouble. Dali hurriedly notified Xu Zifan, got into an argument with Da Dong, and then, as Da Dong pushed him, he fell to the ground.
Xu Zifan rushed over and told Zhou Hao to send Da Dong to the West District. Then, under the pretext of worrying that the West District might harm his brother, he asked Ahua to personally escort Dali to another city to recover from his injuries. Of course, Dali's girlfriend also had to go and take care of her.
In front of his underlings, Dali and Ahua vehemently opposed the plan, but Xu Zifan coldly suppressed them, ordering them to leave that very day. His four most important brothers vanished from City A, leaving him with only the fierce and capable Zhou Hao by his side.
Zhou Hao, an undercover agent, was taciturn, but he was still shocked by Xu Zifan's series of actions. What was wrong with this guy's brain? Using Uncle Qiu and personal grudges as cover, and diverting everyone else's attention by seizing territory, he managed to get rid of all the important people around him so quickly before anyone else could react.
Xu Zifan is now cooperating with the police, and he even sought their help to send people away privately. That's why his feigned death went so smoothly without arousing any suspicion. Zhou Hao personally felt the undercurrents in the East and West districts while he was by Xu Zifan's side, and only then did he truly believe that Xu Zifan really wanted to bring down these two forces. He also reported this to his superiors, which made Chen Guowei and the others trust Xu Zifan a little more.
Xu Zifan was adept at sowing discord, and the hatred between the East and West districts grew daily, with no peace and quiet. He was so busy that he hadn't been able to see Tang Jiao.
Tang Jiao finally recovered from those horror movies, and Tang Zhentian lifted her ban, so she started going out for walks again. Although the East and West districts were fiercely competing, she was still quite safe to have fun in the most heavily guarded shops in the East district.
During this time, Tian Feng had been having his underlings gather information about the East District. He was unwilling to do nothing while recovering from his injury, and as soon as he heard that Tang Jiao had shown up, he set his sights on her.
He still has nightmares from time to time about Xu Zifan breaking his legs and telling him not to embarrass himself. Isn't Xu Zifan arrogant? Didn't he tell him to take Tang Jiao away if he was so capable? He's going to cuckold Xu Zifan. How could he not coax such an innocent and foolish woman?
This time, he wouldn't just talk the talk; he wanted Tang Jiao to publicly follow him and personally cheat on Xu Zifan. He didn't believe Xu Zifan would be able to calmly ignore him then.
And his leg, he must get revenge for this. He must make Xu Zifan regret ever messing with them in the West District!
