Chapter Twenty-Four Farewell, My Enemy, We'll Meet Again in Hell

  Half a month after the shooting incident, Ye Haodong and Li Weidong, Bao Lijiang, Ding Dawei, four people sat in a private room at Tengyu Massage Bath Center.

  Ye Haodong's eyes were sharp and his tone was murderous: "Dawei, you called us over here, is it because Shan Longhu has sent a message?"

  Ding Dawei nodded and said affirmatively, "Er Kui saw that Sunzi on Xinwu Road with a woman named Jin Baoyu, who used to be in a relationship with Shandong Jun."

  Ye Haodong: "Have you found their hideout?"

  Ding Dawei: "Uh, it's in a rental house on Nandajie Street, south of Laojun Furnace Clothing Wholesale Market."

  Baoli gritted his teeth in anger: "Let's go, find that kid and settle the score."

  Ye Haodong extinguished the cigarette he had just lit, stood up and said: "Can't be reckless, that kid has a gun on him, and we're not police, no right to decide his life or death. Let's go take a look first, if there's an opportunity, we'll take care of him, but make it look like self-defense."

  The four of them understood that Shan Longhu's escape this time was to take revenge. Last time, he had planned to follow Jiang Wei and wait for an opportunity to strike. However, he unexpectedly encountered his arch-nemesis Ye Haodong, which led to the first shooting incident. The situation has now reached a point where it is either death or defeat. Shan Longhu has gone mad, and if he can take revenge on Ye Haodong, he will definitely also target others, so this scourge must be eliminated.

  Jiang Wei received a call from Ye Haodong and immediately organized his men to rush to Laojunluo South Street.

  In the rented house, Shan Longhu was lying on the bed naked and smoking, while Jin Baohua, with a full figure, stood by the window wrapped only in a quilt, exposing her back and buttocks for Shan's appreciation.

  Jinbaoju is about ten years older than the Shanlong and Hutan brothers, and has been following Erxinzi, the big brother of Shanlongjun, for a long time. After the Shanlong and Hutan brothers joined the gang, she became the female vagabond assigned by Erxinzi to take care of the Shanlong and Hutan brothers in the first place, and her relationship with the Shanlong and Hutan brothers was ambiguous for those two years.

  This woman is indeed very righteous. Originally, after Er Xinzi went to prison a few years ago, she had already retired from the underworld and started a clothing wholesale business on Lao Jun's side, living a stable life. However, when Shan Longhu came to her in desperation, she still helped him without hesitation, getting herself involved in this trouble as well. As a veteran gangster, she was very aware that doing so would mean that once Shan Longhu was caught, she would also face severe punishment for harboring a fugitive. But this woman had the same courage and bloodlust as men, and she always liked those two boys who were once very awkward but strong and lovable, yet unbearable at times. They were among the few wonderful memories of her gangster career, in which the happy days were filled with the two boys under twenty competing to please her, calling out that they wanted to give their sister happiness and protect her for a lifetime. These words may seem childish today, but in those dark years when the future was uncertain, they indeed brought her great comfort.

  Shan Longhu finished his cigarette, sat up and said to Jin Baoju: "Sister, after this is over, I'll take you away. We'll find a place where no one knows us and live the peaceful life you want."

  "Big sister is old and can't accompany you for much longer. Besides, big sister's body was ruined back then and she can't have children. We're barely managing to be together now, but in a few years, you'll start to dislike me, and even I will feel awkward about it myself. The only reason we can still be together now is because you're having a tough time and big sister hasn't gotten too old to help out yet. Once you've really made it through this ordeal, avenged Military's death, and haven't fallen into the hands of the police, I'll give you some money and you can go find a remote place to hide yourself."

  "It was I and Junzi who wronged you."

  Jinbaoju calmly said: "It doesn't matter who owes whom, back then Erxinzi asked me to accompany you two brothers, that was my own will. Later on, your status rose and you had younger and more beautiful girls accompanying you, no longer needing an older sister like me. Such things are not uncommon in our circle, I've also been happy with the time spent with you two, so you don't have to feel indebted to me."

  Shan Longhu got up and walked down to the ground, embracing Jin Baoju from behind. The two of them were just leaning against each other, maintaining an ambiguous posture.

  Shan Longhu didn't continue the topic from earlier, Jin Baoyue was being very realistic, and he had no reason to let Jin Baoyue accompany him in his wandering life again, living a life of anxiety. He followed Jin Baoyue's gaze out the window: "What are you looking at?"

  Jinbaoju: "Look at the kindergarten downstairs, it's strange. Today is not a holiday, why did it suddenly close?"

  Women always like children the most. Jinbaoju's body was damaged by excessive drinking during her previous escapades, and she suffered a severe cold while fleeing with Erxinzi and others, leaving a root of illness in her uterus, so this life is destined to have no children, so she often stands at the window at this time, looking down at the kindergarten below organizing children to do gymnastics.

  An ordinary sentence, when heard by Shan Long and Hu, was like a thunderclap on a clear day.

  "Damn it, sis, I've been exposed, Lei Zi might have already surrounded this place, I gotta leave immediately."

  Ye Haodong saw the plainclothes policewoman enter the kindergarten at the end of the street, and soon after, the kindergarten quietly closed. He thought to himself that something was wrong, and he could see that it was unusual. Shan Longhu, with his many years of experience, would not have missed it either. If he had noticed the situation downstairs at this time, he believed he would have blown up (slang, equivalent to "woken up" in police speak) soon after.

  Jiang Wei is a policeman, and when handling cases, he must first consider the safety of the masses. Jinbaoju's house below the kindergarten is indeed a big hidden danger. He has done nothing wrong in doing so, but this will undoubtedly provoke Mountain Dragon Tiger. Mountain Dragon Tiger is now a startled bird and will definitely observe the movement downstairs frequently. We can't rely on luck, let's go and block him at the Nan Dajie overpass immediately. Just me and Gangzi will go, if the opportunity is right, we'll take action. This matter isn't something that can be accomplished with more people, Mountain Dragon Tiger has a gun, and if we send more people, the target will be bigger, and it will be more dangerous. You two stay behind and pay attention to the development of things, maybe Jiang Wei and the others can handle him without us needing to intervene.

  Ye Haodong had already established absolute prestige among the few with his own courage and skill, Ding Dawei was slightly dissatisfied, wanting to follow up, but seeing Li Weidong didn't say anything, he could only nod in agreement. The four of them decided that Ye Haodong would immediately go downstairs with Bao Lijiang, rushing straight to the Nan Dajie overpass, because that was the only place where Jiang Wenyu couldn't control.

  Shan Longhu quickly put on his clothes and grabbed the handgun with only five bullets left. Jin Baoju deftly packed a small bag for him, containing some cash and other items. Shan Longhu took the bag, feeling a bit moved: "Sister, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself, don't worry, even if I die, I won't fall into the hands of the police. When the time comes, just say you haven't seen me, they have no evidence and can't do anything to you."

  "Brother, I've already ended up like this in this life, what's there to be afraid of? You can leave quickly, don't worry about me."

  The escape route had been designed long ago. The mountain dragon and tiger rushed downstairs, but did not leave the stairwell, instead forcibly knocking open a household on the second floor, then jumping out of the rear window of that household, entering a small alley with cluttered miscellaneous items, striding with large legs quickly running towards the South Avenue overpass.

  Jiang Wei had received information beforehand that Jinbaoju's home was on the sixth floor, and considering the possibility of the suspect jumping off the building to escape was small, Jiang Wei only arranged for two people in this alley. The sudden appearance of Shandongtiger caught the two police officers off guard, and they hastily pulled out their guns and shouted a warning at Shandongtiger to stop, but what responded to them was Shandongtiger turning around and running while firing three shots. The sound of gunfire broke through the quietness of the alley, and Shandongtiger ran wildly and fired randomly without any accuracy, but the two police officers who had witnessed the harm caused by gunshot wounds did not dare to be careless, and they quickly sought cover and temporarily avoided the danger. Bullets do not distinguish between justice and evil. The two men's avoidance gave Shandongtiger a few seconds of precious escape time, and in the short alley, there were obstacles everywhere, and Shandongtiger, who was familiar with the situation, ran swiftly while knocking over some cabinets and other obstacles, making it harder for those behind him to run fast. By the time the two police officers rushed out of the alley after exhausting their strength, he had already climbed over the railing and run onto the overpass, and the distance between them had increased to nearly a hundred meters.

  When Shan Longhu ran onto the overpass, he was exceptionally excited. He thought that this was the main thoroughfare out of the city, with frequent traffic coming and going, and if he could just flag down one car, within a few minutes he would be able to escape from an area where it would be easier for the police to lay out their net, as long as halfway there he found some mountain foot to get off at, and slipped into the big mountains, the police would have no way of catching him.

  Ye Haodong also thought so.

  The Liberation truck roared to life, and with a loud rumble of the engine, it quickly accelerated, increasing its speed within a short distance of just a few hundred meters. The needle on the speedometer was already pointing at 60. The car seemed like a monstrous beast about to devour people, charging straight towards the mountain dragon and tiger that were running over.

  Baoli stepped on the gas pedal with a ferocious expression.

  Just as Shan Longhu thought he had escaped, Ye Haodong brought Polly to give him a fatal blow in the form of a car accident!

  When the car came, he was still thinking of intercepting this car as a means of escape. When he saw Ye Haodong sitting in the driver's seat, everything had come too quickly. He only managed to fire one of the two remaining bullets from his pistol at the Liberation truck, hitting the front hood and making a sharp whistling sound.

  With a loud crash! The mountain dragon tiger dog bear-like body was knocked flying into the air several meters high and fell more than ten meters away, motionless.

  Ye Haodong calmly said: "As I pressed down, the brakes suddenly failed."

  Two police officers who were chasing after Shan Lung and Hu Tiger witnessed the entire process of the car knocking them down and then turning around to run over them again.

  Two minutes later, Jiang Wei, who received the report, rushed to the scene with a large number of police officers, panting.

  Baoli Gang and Ye Haodong sat honestly in the car, with bundles of neatly tied up waste paper pulled behind.

  The body of the mountain dragon and tiger was almost cut in half at the waist, with a flat and shocking wound in the middle where the wheel had crushed it. The internal organs that had been squeezed out were covered in fresh blood, which flowed all over the ground.

  Baoli Gang jumped off the car and stood upright without saying a word. Ye Haodong slowly opened the door, got out of the car with a flourish, and exaggeratedly showed a shocked and frightened expression: "Damn! We hit someone, I told you earlier that the brakes have been a bit problematic lately, let you go fix it, but you said it's still usable, how about this, something happened, you see this person being crushed, it's over, this time it's over, not even 30,000 to 50,000 yuan is enough for compensation, damn it, this time we're done for three months!"

  Jiang Wei watched his clumsy performance with an expressionless face.

  "Is it over?"

  Ye Haodong suddenly realized and seemed to have just noticed Jiang Wei at the scene: "Ah, Captain Jiang, why are you here? Isn't a traffic accident handled by the traffic police?"

  Jiang Wei: "This guy is an important fugitive we're after, now it's convenient. The traffic police will be here soon, you'd better put on a show for them."

  Ye Haodong was shocked: "There's actually such a situation, then I'm relieved. No matter what, we can be considered to have eliminated harm for the people."

  Ye Haodong detected a protective tone in Jiang Wei's words. One sentence was enough to define the case as a traffic accident.

  "Tonight, if you're free, come over to my place. I have something to tell you and you can pick up the things you left behind last time."
