Chapter 5: Kill, Not One Can Be Left! Fei Ku Wang

  It was almost five watches, Chang Lin let the two girls stay and persist in defending here, he wanted to go in and help Ah Juan and others, couldn't let three girls fall into the tiger's mouth. Gradually moving forward, soon they arrived at the entrance of the manor.

  This is a fortress built with green bricks and cement, the front row of houses has two layers of height, and the gatehouse is located in the middle of the front row. If the gate is closed, even explosives may not be able to shake it!

  He heard the footsteps, very faint, which meant that Ajiao and the others had started to act. Only a soft rustling sound was heard inside, and then the two heavy iron-wooden doors were opened with a gap.

  Chang Lin walked over, and together with Ai Juan, they moved towards the inner area. They exited through the gate and rushed to the second floor's brick stairs. The two of them quietly approached the guards' quarters, slung their submachine guns around their necks, gripped the bayonets on their rifles, and began to take action.

  Maybe nothing ever happened, or the staff were too tired from a night of trouble. The second floor had no one guarding outside, and the door was wide open, letting in the cold night air to drive out the sweltering heat inside.

  The two quickly separated, Ah Jiao was in charge of blocking the corridor with her hands and defending, while Chang Lin was responsible for going to finish off the people sleeping. He moved lightly on his feet, starting a bloody massacre under the dimly lit oil lamps.

  One slash down, then cover the opponent's mouth with one's hand and press down on the lower body of the person being killed. People sleeping in the sweltering tropical rainforest, lying stark naked, will definitely not appear to be stabbed in a non-vital spot.

  In each room, there were four people. Three rooms made twelve people. In one hour, Chang Lin single-handedly took care of the necks. The guards were taken care of, two people concentrated their weapons together and let Xiaoxue, who had moved from downstairs, take charge of guarding.

  The backyard was also built like the front door. At this time, Ah Yin, who had sneaked in with Ah Juan, stood trembling at the door, and she could hardly hold on. Chang Lin walked over to pat her, and he and Ah Juan went upstairs.

  The fortress, attacked from the outside in, was difficult to break through. Once inside, defense became difficult. Chang Lin never wanted to use a bayonet to kill people again, he had never done so before, and the bloody atmosphere made his stomach churn constantly.

  "Kill, leave no one alive!" The inner city was all Hong Ada's family or his most trusted people. If they left anyone alive, it would cause them a lot of trouble in the future.

  Ajiao nodded and rushed upstairs.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Bang, bang, bang——

  Pistols and submachine guns rang out in succession, and the cries of fear and wailing disappeared instantly after the shots. The gunfire inside the house caused a commotion among the workers outside who were working for the Hong family. However, they did not dare to come out, but instead put on their clothes and looked out through the gap in the door.

  Unfortunately, it was the dark hour of dawn at this time. The outer house and inner house were all invisible. All households had blown out their lights, they didn't want to perish with the Hong family! For a long, long time, the gunfire in the inner house finally stopped completely. And by this time, the sky had already brightened!

  "Finished?" Chang Lin walked out when A Juan was already standing in the courtyard.

  "It's done, a total of seventeen people, and two little girls were left unharmed by me." Ajiao said, seeing Changlin's unhappy expression, hurriedly added: "These two girls are not from the Hong family, they are servants."

  "Go and call out the people from outside, clean up the body, and quickly determine if there are any leftovers." Changlin sat on the steps of the main house door, instructing Ah Juan.

  "Alright, I'll get the two girls to fetch a basin of water for you to wash up, and then we'll get some food ready." Ah Juan called out towards the side room door, waving her hand: "Ruan Mingshu, come on out!"

  Two girls slightly opened the door, walked to Ajiao's side with their heads down. She pointed at Changlin and said: "Go, get a basin of clean water for him to wash up, go to the kitchen to prepare some food."

  "Yes." The two girls replied in unison and hastily went their separate ways.

  Ajiao didn't say much, carrying a submachine gun and walking out of the inner courtyard. Changlin sat on the stairs, scanning around to take in the architecture here. Ruan Mingshu brought over a basin of water, asking in Cantonese, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"

  "Can." Ruan Mingshu mechanically replied, lowering her head and not daring to look at the man in front of her.

  "Go get me some clothes." Chang Lin continued to change, his appearance was too ugly. With a bare back and a piece of tattered cloth covering his lower body, he looked like a beggar or a savage.

  "Shall I accompany you to choose one yourself?" Ruan Mingshuai was very clever, she didn't know which kind of clothes the man in front of her liked, so she could only do this most appropriately.

  "Alright, wait for a moment." Chang Lin untied the rag from his waist, turned his back to the girl and said: "Rub my back for me, I'm too dirty."

  "Yes." Ruan Mingshu didn't hesitate, stepping forward to take the towel and gently rubbing it against Chang Lin's back.

  After washing up, Chang Lin walked barefoot with Ruan Mingxue to the main room. In the master bedroom, there were several wooden chests. The girl opened a chest and first took out underwear and handed it to the person behind her, then opened another chest and said: "You choose for yourself."

  Chang Lin couldn't believe it, the trunk was filled with all sorts of clothes. There were expensive suits, casual wear and shorts and tank tops that people in tropical climates often wore. He was really thrilled, he had seen these things before but as a soldier he had never worn them once.

  Removing the tattered cloth wrapped around his thigh wound, he found that the injury had not fully recovered. He was about to find a new piece of cloth to rebandage it when Ruan Mingshu came over with a small bottle: "This is Yunnan Baiyao, very effective for treating injuries."

  "Yunnan Baiyao?" Changlin snatched it over, opened it and sniffed it non-stop on his nose. The clever girl took out iodine to help him clean the wound, poured Yunnan Baiyao on it, and then used a special medical gauze to bandage it for him.

  "How old are you?" Chang Lin was stirred up by the girl's gentle movements, and he looked down at the young girl, finding her to be a stunning beauty with bright eyes and white teeth. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and he could hardly control his emotions from embracing her.

  "I was seventeen, bought by the Hong family, he wanted me to be his concubine, I refused, so he made me one of his maidservants." Ruan Mingshu glanced at the old man who had been shot dead on the bed and added: "He married seven wives but didn't have a single son or daughter."

  How could Chang Lin dare to believe that such a beautiful woman would be by his side, and Hong Ada wouldn't be moved? The girl seemed to see through his heart, her face red as she said: "Hong Ada was also a soldier, he was shot and wounded in that place. Look."

  Ruan Mingshu pulled down the corpse's pants on the bed, and Chang Lin found that there was almost nothing left in his crotch. He chuckled: "No wonder he married seven wives but had no children."

  "He's a madman, women are tortured to death by him." Ruan Mingshuo said in a low voice with a red face, but her tone revealed contempt and hatred.

  "Ah?" Chang Lin was already dressed and stared at the old man on the bed in surprise: "Pervert, he's using abuse to vent!"

  Another girl walked in, Chang Lin had them wrap the body with a sheet and carry it out, and clean up the room thoroughly. He was both hungry and tired, sat down and picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table and lit one. He also picked up an exquisite lighter and put it in his pocket after lighting it.

  A beautiful leather suitcase caught his attention, Chang Lin took it down from the wall and found that it was a genuine leather password box. Just by looking at the workmanship, he knew that this thing must be very valuable and absolutely not a product of Asia.

  He opened the box and found a semi-automatic pistol inside. Looking at the diamonds and gold on the gun body, he knew it was a custom-made item. He thought for a moment, then reopened the original owner's closet, picked out some fitting clothes, folded them neatly and put them in.

  Ruan Mingshu opened the medicine box, and Changlin selected the most needed medicines to put in. He also packed the Yunnan Baiyao into it. Searching for valuables from the drawer made him suspicious.

  "It's strange, with such a big family business, there isn't even one valuable thing?"

  "Are you leaving?" Ah Juan walked into the upper room and saw Changlin packing his things, asking in surprise.

  "Didn't we agree on that?" Chang Lin sat on the edge of the bed and said to the girl in a very affectionate tone, "Thank you for saving me. They need you, and I'll be leaving soon anyway."

  Ajiao burst into tears, she knew that young people couldn't stay, and sadly said: "You can take away what you like and what you can carry. Remember this place, and after the war is over, I hope you can come visit me."

  "I'll be back!" Chang Lin also felt a little reluctant to part with the girl in front of him, but he had to leave. He had been away from his unit for several days and would get into trouble if he didn't return soon. Looking around the room, he said, "It's strange, where do you think this family hides their money?"

  Ajiao looked around four times and said sharply: "A big family will have a secret room, you eat first and sleep for a while, let's search again tomorrow."

  Ruan Mingshu and another girl walked in with steaming rice and braised pork, which Chang Lin hastily took from them and devoured wolfishly. Ah Juan looked at him, seeing how hungry he was, and kept putting more meat into his bowl.

  It's been a long time since he had a comfortable meal, and this one made him devour the food of two people like a whirlwind. He walked to the carved wooden bed, took off his shoes and lay down on it.

  "It's comfortable, rich people really know how to enjoy themselves!" The bed had the latest style of Simmons mattress, which was rarely seen in Vietnam. The robust man who hadn't blinked for two days and one night suddenly let out a loud snore.

  "A-Ling, what am I going to do if you leave?" Ah-Juan sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Chang-Lin's face, muttering to herself with a painful expression. She couldn't bear to part with the man on the bed and was lost in thought.

  Chang Lin turned over on the bed, stretching out his arm to put it on top of his head. Unfortunately, he bumped into the dragon eye carved on the bedhead, and a loud noise was heard. The big bed moved instantly. A Juan exclaimed and stood up, and the strong man on the bed also jumped down to the ground in an instant.

  "Alright!" Chang Lin stared at the exposed entrance, listening to the movements inside. Finding no danger, he then pushed the door open and led the way into the tunnel.

  Ajiao closely followed behind, the submachine gun in her hand not leaving the trigger. They walked down about two zhang deep and found a hint of a room. Changlin took out a lighter from his pants pocket and lit a candle.

  "Huh?" He had thought that there wouldn't be much stored inside, but after the light came on, Chang Lin was still quite surprised.

  Inside the spacious basement, there were only four sandalwood boxes. One of them was as small as a handbag, which made him puzzled. Ajuan walked forward and opened it, and Changlin let out another cry of surprise.

  "Gold!" Inside the small box were gold, jewelry and some gems. No wonder it was stored in the basement. The other three boxes were also opened by the girl who breathed quickly, one of which contained Vietnamese currency, and the other two were antiques and calligraphy paintings.

  "A-Ling, take it away, we don't need this thing." A-Juan closed the golden box, picked it up and handed it to Chang-Lin.

  "Good!" Changlin did not decline. Another box was money. There was food, an orchard, and land here. They would definitely live a good life!

  Hearing the knocking on the door upstairs, the two of them hastily went up and restored the wooden bed to its original position at Anton's opening. Ah Hong heard the sound of the door opening in the room and shouted urgently from outside: "It's bad, the soldiers who left last night have returned!"

  "Ah!" Chang Lin suddenly opened the door and stared at Ah Hong with a stern gaze: "Speak clearly, how many people came back?"
