Night had fallen, the lights began to twinkle, and Nanli City, with its long history, was brightly lit. The streets were crowded with vehicles like a flowing tide, and the ancient city was bustling with people weaving through like threads in a fabric, bustling and lively.
Under the cloak of night, three cars sped along a spacious road in the suburbs of Nanli, heading towards the expressway entrance. In the middle was a Range Rover, flanked by a Mercedes-Benz van both in front and behind, providing an armed escort.
The Range Rover with the Nanli license plate bearing the number '5-8' was Li Kui's exclusive vehicle. It was very well-known in Nanli, and was particularly admired by the local ruffians who would say that one should live like Li Kui—with luxury houses, fancy cars, beautiful women, and a crowd of followers wherever he went.
