Chapter 7 (2) Borrowing a Knife to Kill (2)

  After leaving Zhu Meier's villa, Peng Haoming stayed in Gangong for more than half a month to deal with his troublesome timber business.

  The price of wood has been fluctuating wildly, but overall it's been falling more than rising. Compared to the same period last year, the price of wood has dropped by half. The usually bustling timber market is now almost deserted, with most truck drivers gathering together to gamble or switch to transporting other goods to make a living.

  For timber merchants, at this time either do nothing and take a holiday or withdraw funds to do something else. Country M has rich natural resources, as long as there is capital leverage, they are not afraid of having no business to do.

  Peng Haoming also went with the flow, stopped his timber business and ran to mix with jade merchants.

  But Peng Haoming actually didn't understand jade at all, he just needed to do something to cover up his identity.

  Lin Chaohui returned to the villa and reported the result of the negotiation with Xin Yi to Zhu Meier. Zhu Meier was quite satisfied with this result. In Zhu Meier's plan, the factory would be completed soon, and then Zhao Gonghui would go all out to produce products.

  Zhu Meier needs money, Zhao Gongfu also needs money, Peng Haoming needs money too. They don't have a particularly deep relationship, but Lin Chaohui doesn't need money, he needs something more complicated.

  Sometimes, destruction is the only way to gain. Lin Chaohui inspected the processing plant, which was built according to industrial dust-free standards and cost Zhu Meier a lot of money. Zhu Meier hoped it could earn more money for herself, but more importantly, with it, she had the hope of getting rid of Xinyi.

  The factory is nearing completion, and the expensive machinery that was transported in is being debugged. It will be ready for production in just one week.

  Lin Chaohui climbed up the slope near the processing plant, where several hidden forts were set up to overlook every corner of the processing plant. Usually, a squad of mercenaries would be stationed here on guard duty, and inside the processing plant, another squad would be patrolling in shifts. Lin Chaohui and Zhu Meier still had great trust in the professionalism of the mercenaries.

  Lin Chaohui walked up to a secluded spot on the mountain slope, lit himself a cigarette and dialed Xinyi's number.

  "Lin Dazong, I thought you had forgotten about our matter." The noise coming from Xinyi's phone led Lin Chao to judge that he was in a casino again.

  "Everything is arranged, when do you think it's better to take action?" Lin Chao Hui asked directly.

  "It depends on what Manager Lin thinks." Xinyi seemed somewhat distracted, as if Zhu Meier's affairs were no more attractive than the chips on the gambling table.

  "The day after tomorrow night, I will turn off the guardian."

  "No problem, then the day after tomorrow..." Xinyi said.

  "Peng Haoming's matter, I think you should also take care of it."

  "Is Peng Haoming around?! General Lin, I haven't seen Peng Haoming for a while, and I couldn't find him anywhere..." Xinyi had his own plans, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he made an excuse.

  "Hmm... Bobbie told me that Peng Haoming has been hanging out in Gangzhou recently. With Xinyi's brother's knowledge of Gangzhou, I think it's impossible to not find him." Lin Chaohui hummed his nose, exposing him.

  "Since General Lin has his movements figured out so clearly, why doesn't he take action himself?"

  Lin Chaohui didn't want Zhu Meier to catch any handles, he thought of killing two birds with one stone, using Xin Yi to get rid of Peng Haoming, cutting off Zhu Meier's thoughts, even if discovered, it could be pushed onto Xin Yi's body, letting Zhu Meier and Xin Yi conflict, himself can mediate in the middle.

  Xin Yi couldn't possibly be unaware of Lin Chao Hui's thoughts, but Xin Yi has her own ideas. The struggle between the snipe and the clam is the best possible outcome for Xin Yi.

  But now the most important thing is to put an end to Zhu Meier's nearly completed processing plant, and Xinyi doesn't want Peng Haoming to die.

  "The day after tomorrow I hope to hear some good news." Lin Chaohui didn't want to waste words with Xin Yi.

  "My people will arrive at the factory before 7 pm the day after tomorrow." Xinyi also didn't want to waste words.

  Lin Chaohui thought for a moment: "No problem."

  At 7 o'clock in the evening, it was already dark. At this time, Lin Chaohui could take advantage of the shift change to get the mercenaries out of the way. He believed that giving Xinyi half an hour would be enough.

  Xin Yi put down the phone, waved his hand to the bodyguard behind him, and the bodyguard leaned down. Xin Yi whispered a few words in his ear, and the bodyguard left.

  The bodyguard found Wong Kwai in the crowd at the casino, where he was enthusiastically playing a slot machine. The bodyguard approached him and said, "Wong Kwai, come with me."

  Won a lot of money, Weng Cai raised his eyes to take a look, it was Xinyi's bodyguard. Usually when Xinyi's bodyguards appear, nothing good happens. Weng Cai had no choice but to interrupt his own good luck and followed the bodyguard into a quiet room behind the casino.

  "What's wrong, aren't we even allowed to win money?" Weng Cai said with a half-joking tone, trying to ease the atmosphere since he saw that there was no one else in the room.

  "Go back and tell your boss, someone wants to kill him." The bodyguard was in no mood for joking with Weng.

  "What are you kidding me?!" Weng Cai's eyes widened, this bodyguard was indeed a harbinger of doom, and his appearance never meant anything good. However, this news still made Weng Cai dare not believe it.

  "I'm just responsible for telling you, as for what to do... you figure it out." The bodyguard shrugged and opened the door, ready to leave.

  "Hey...... wait a minute, who wants to kill him? When?" Weng Cai chased after him, asking the bodyguard's back.

  The bodyguard didn't turn around and said: "Let him be careful for these two days."

  Weng guessed that at this time, there was still a interest in gambling, he didn't even exchange chips, and hurriedly ran back to the hotel, "knocking" on Peng Haoming's door, telling him the news.

  "Who wants to kill me? Who is it?" Peng Haoming was also puzzled after listening to Weng Cai's breathless account.

  "How did I know? I asked him, he didn't say." Weng Cai saw the tea brewed by Peng Hao Ming and couldn't help himself, pouring a full cup for himself to quench the fire in his throat.

  "Since it's a bodyguard notification from Xin Yi, it shouldn't be him, right? Who else could it be?" Peng Haoming thought.

  "Who else could it be, boss? Either the Black Widow or Lin Zongguan... Could it really be that young punk from Guo A who hasn't even grown out all his hair yet?" Weng Cai said with a bad attitude.

  Zhu Meier wanted to kill herself, but it wouldn't be so troublesome. Peng Haoming just didn't expect Lin Chaohui to think of taking action against himself so quickly.

  But how did Xinyi know? Peng Haoming was puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

  Half a month ago, Peng Haoming found Xin Yi. He promised Xin Yi that as long as Xin Yi dismantled Zhu Mei'er's processing plant, he could find another place to rebuild it, and he would share the formula for new-type narcotics with him.

  As for what Lin Chaohui and he talked about, Peng Haoming didn't know, and Xinyi wouldn't tell him either. All Peng Haoming could think of was that at least for now, Xinyi didn't want him to die, otherwise she wouldn't have notified him.

  Lin Chaohui and Peng Haoming are like the snipe and the clam, Xinyi wants to be the fisherman, Peng Haoming thought of this and sneered.

  Everyone wants to be a fisherman, in this complicated relationship, only Zhu Meier is still in the dark.

  Peng Haoming felt some sympathy for Zhu Meier, who seemed to be unable to shake off her tragic fate.

  "Boss, can you still laugh at this time?" Weng Cai was almost anxious to death, who knew if there was an assassin hiding somewhere, maybe the muzzle was already pointing at them.

  "Don't worry, we won't die." Peng Haoming said with great confidence.

  For Weng Cai, Peng Haoming is his gold master, he certainly does not want Peng Haoming to die. His death means that a large amount of money will be far away from him every year. However, if he has to use his life to make money, Weng Cai still doesn't have that awareness. If he has to choose, Weng Cai will wisely protect his own life - the boss can be found again, but life cannot be found back once it's gone.

  The bodyguard returned to the casino and told Xinyi that the message had been delivered. Xinyi was very satisfied and said to the bodyguard, "Just find a few second- or third-rate hitmen, just for show."

  "How are the Kiwi?" the bodyguard suggested.

  "Kiwi? Almost." Xinyi saw that it was his turn to bet again and shifted his attention back to the gaming table.

  "Should we tell Kivi about it?" The bodyguard asked again.

  "No need, Peng Haoming will not be able to avoid it, can only blame his fate. Weng Cai thought that with a second-rate killer like Kivi, the threat to Peng Haoming was not great, but they couldn't make it too fake either, otherwise it wouldn't be good for Lin Chaohui."

  "I'll go and arrange it now." The bodyguard didn't disturb Xinyi's gambling mood.

  Besides the merchants and gamblers coming and going, there were also assassins and thugs lurking in the shadows. They mainly relied on solving some disputes that couldn't be solved with money, such as some people wanting certain others to die or become disabled...

  However, a good killer is usually not easy to take action, but Kivi is different. He belongs to the middle level between gangster and killer, as long as there is money, whether it's collecting debts or killing people, he is willing to do it.

  Kivi has been hanging out in Gangong, Congming and other places since he was a kid. Apart from being good at fighting, he doesn't have many skills, but he has done quite a few things that shocked people, and in this line of work, he is also somewhat famous.

  As for Kivi, Xinyi thought that he had not died for so many years was already a miracle, but how long the miracle could last, no one knew. Xinyi chose him to kill Peng Haoming, whether intentionally or unintentionally, just wanted to see if Kivi's luck would run out when he encountered Peng Haoming.

  "50,000 bucks, just a click." The bodyguard found Kivi in the messy building on the outskirts of Gong'an, and it seemed he had been doing very badly recently.

  "What's going on?" Kivi saw a stack of banknotes and his eyes had already turned green.

  "He, a lumber merchant, is now living in room 508 of the Imperial Hotel."

  Kivi took the photo and looked at it, then asked: "When?"

  "For these one or two days... our boss said, it's best not to use a gun, and... don't make a move in Gong'an County, he goes there every day to turn around in Suizhou and Yidu, you think of a way."

  "Then I'll add 10,000?" Kivi thought this was a good opportunity to haggle, the more additional conditions, the higher the price should be.

  "There's only so much you can take, if you don't accept it, I can go look for Simon..." The bodyguard saw through Kivi's thoughts.

  "Haha... that... deal... " Kivi didn't expect the 50,000 in his hand to disappear like this. Considering his abilities, this price was also reasonable.
