C263 Rescuing Bashan Dealing with Big Belly
"Brother, I was wrong. Please, have mercy on me!"
"I swear I won't ever cross you again!"
"Just think of me as nothing and let me go!"
"I failed to see your greatness, I'll bow down and beg for your forgiveness!"
...
Big Belly, now on his knees, had completely lost his former boss-like demeanor.
He gave Lin Dong a pitiful look, reminiscent of a small dog eager to win over its owner.
The Skyfire Motorcycle Club members couldn't help but grin at the sight.
Big Belly had been so bold and threatening, and now it turned out he was nothing but a spineless wimp!
He started pleading for mercy even before Lin Dong had laid a hand on him.
The thugs who had been following Big Belly's lead now looked downright miserable.
They had attacked Lin Dong on Big Belly's command.
And after getting thrashed, there was Big Belly, not uttering a single tough word, just kneeling and begging for mercy!
What a disgrace to be associated with such a person!
Yet, they remained silent.
Lin Dong was there, after all.
The sheer power of Lin Dong's earlier actions was etched in everyone's memory!
They were terrified of provoking Lin Dong and getting beaten themselves!
Lee Tao and the others gathered around Lin Dong.
Seeing Big Belly on the ground, they all displayed looks of contempt.
Their voices rose in angry condemnation.
"Big Belly, you thought you were so tough, huh?"
"Keep up that bravado! Why are you kneeling now?"
"What a joke, daring to lay a hand on our Dong? You're asking for trouble!"
"Coward, you think you're worthy of our girls? Dream on!"
...
The Skyfire Motorcycle Club members had been overwhelmed when they first arrived.
But now that they had the upper hand, they let loose all the pent-up anger they had been harboring!
Big Belly remained silent in the face of their jeering.
He just bowed his head, enduring their scorn, all the while keeping his eyes on Lin Dong.
The one he truly feared was Lin Dong!
As Big Belly watched Lin Dong, Lin Dong asked in an indifferent tone, "Where's Bashan?"
Rescuing Bashan was Lin Dong's mission.
Upon hearing Lin Dong's inquiry, Big Belly shuddered, quickly pointing towards the warehouse, "Oh, he's inside. Let me take you there, brother."
Big Belly spoke with a respectful demeanor, his face breaking into an eager-to-please grin.
All of his underlings had been dealt with by Lin Dong.
Some were injured, others knelt in submission!
Big Belly was on his own, and he knew better than to defy Lin Dong if he wanted to avoid dire consequences.
He was a slippery character, well-versed in the ways of the street.
Lowering his head was a small price to pay; he'd rather kneel and call Lin Dong "father" than take a beating.
Lin Dong gave a slight nod of acknowledgment.
Lee Tao, trailing behind, called out impatiently, "Come on, lead the way quickly!"
His words were echoed by the rest of the Motorcycle Club members, who pressed Big Belly to hurry up and guide them to Bashan.
Big Belly rose to his feet, nodding and bowing as he led Lin Dong and the Skyfire Motorcycle Club members deeper into the warehouse.
As Lin Dong and the club members entered the warehouse, they were greeted by the sight of a dilapidated chair.
Tied to the chair was a burly man, his back bound to the chair.
His body was marred with wounds, and a cloth strip blinded him, rendering his seated figure pitiful.
Upon seeing him, Lee Tao exclaimed, "Brother Bashan!" and dashed forward.
Sensing the commotion, Bashan lifted his head.
Lee Tao quickly removed the cloth from his face, and the sudden brightness made Bashan squint.
Blinking hard to adjust his vision, he finally made out Lin Dong, who had come with his crew.
Recognizing Lin Dong, Bashan's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Dong, what brings you here?"
"If I hadn't come, you might have been beaten to death," Lin Dong replied.
He gestured to Lee Tao to hasten with untying the ropes.
Lee Tao worked swiftly, and soon the ropes were off.
Freed from his bonds, Bashan felt a weight lift from his body.
He attempted to stand and address Lin Dong, but his injuries and prolonged binding had taken their toll. His legs gave way, and he nearly collapsed back to the ground.
Thankfully, Lee Tao was there to support him, preventing him from falling to the ground.
Lin Dong stepped forward, pressing on his shoulder to assess the damage. He discovered multiple bruises on his body and a swollen face.
Beyond that, there seemed to be no further issues.
Lin Dong felt a measure of relief and turned to Bashan, saying, "Just sit here, rest assured. Those who hurt you will pay."
After speaking, Lin Dong cast a chilling glance at Big Belly, who had escorted Bashan in.
He was never one to let things slide.
If someone laid a hand on his man, he would make sure to retaliate!
Big Belly had instigated this trouble, and he had left Bashan in such a state. He was going to pay dearly!
Big Belly felt a sudden twinge of fear upon meeting Lin Dong's icy stare.
The look in Lin Dong's eyes was terrifying, reminiscent of a demonic god from the depths of hell.
"Big, big brother, it's all a misunderstanding..." Big Belly stammered, raising his hands in a feeble attempt to explain, but his words fell flat.
The evidence of Bashan's injuries was clear for all to see.
These injuries were inflicted by Big Belly's men, some even by his own hand.
Claiming a misunderstanding now was utterly unconvincing!
Moreover, Lin Dong had learned the full story from two girls at the club, confirming that Big Belly was behind the whole affair.
Why would he entertain Big Belly's excuses?
Lin Dong had no intention of letting him off the hook. He stepped forward and delivered a powerful kick.
With a resounding thud, Big Belly was sent sprawling to the floor.
Lin Dong had held back slightly, but even so, the force of the kick sent Big Belly tumbling across the ground, finally coming to a stop against a wall.
"Ah, the pain! My stomach, my back, my leg!" Big Belly wailed, clutching the areas where he'd been struck, his cries echoing with agony.
The other members of the Skyfire Motorcycle Club watched with a gleam of excitement in their eyes.
They harbored no sympathy for Big Belly; on the contrary, they felt a sense of vindication.
After seeing Bashan beaten so severely, they needed to see some retribution to ease the frustration burning within them.
At that moment, Lin Dong's actions were seen as a breath of fresh air for everyone!
Lee Tao and the others watched Lin Dong with profound admiration.
Upon learning of Bashan's capture, Lin Dong promptly led them to his rescue, displaying swift and decisive action.
Moreover, once there, he single-handedly turned the tide against the assault of dozens of thugs. Ultimately, he compelled the gang leader, Big Belly, to kneel and plead for mercy, leading them straight to Bashan without further ado.
Such prowess and presence commanded the deep respect of the Skyfire Motorcycle Club members who witnessed it.
In their eyes, Lin Dong was nothing short of a superhero!
