Chapter 44: Chongqing Journey (Part 2)

  In the blink of an eye, everyone in the casino was cleaned up by Hua Lieyang and Yang Chunxiao! On the side, Yang Chenguang couldn't bear the bloody scene and retreated to a corner, vomiting. Seeing this, Hua Lieyang shook his head and said to Yang Chunxiao: "Uncle Xiao, go take a look at my uncle! I'll go check the back!"

  "Alright! You worry a bit!" Yang Chunxiao said with concern. Upon hearing Yang Chunxiao's words, Hua Lieyang smiled and loaded the two pistols with bullets before walking over to the gunman who was lying on the ground. He picked up the two shotguns, took a look, and chuckled to himself, saying: "Indeed, bandits and robbers eat their own, so their equipment is also good!" With that, Hua Lieyang walked away with the two shotguns.

  He walked cautiously all the way, and after a while, Hua Lieyang heard a series of hesitant voices. After hearing the sound, Hua Lieyang slowly approached with his gun raised. When he reached the door, Hua Lieyang kicked it open and walked in to take a look. The scene inside stunned him!

  Just then, he saw several young women bound and gagged inside. Witnessing this scene, Hualei Yang stepped forward, pulled down the gag of one of the women and asked: "Who are you?! How did you end up like this?!"

  The young woman heard Hua Lieyang's words and said dully, "Can you turn around?" Hearing the young woman's words, Hua Lieyang smiled and turned around, saying, "Now you can tell me, right?"

  The young woman sighed deeply and said, "We are Northeastern vagrants who were deceived by them! They plan to sell us into the mountains or buy us into brothels!" Upon hearing the young woman's words, Hua Lieyang was taken aback for a moment and replied faintly, "You're also from the Northeast?!"

  "Yes! We are all Northeasterners!" The young woman said seriously. Upon hearing the young woman's words, Hua Lieyang gritted his teeth and said: "These beasts! I'd be doing them a favor by killing them!" As he spoke, Hua Lieyang turned around and walked behind the young woman, untying the rope that bound her, saying: "You help them untie their ropes first! I'll go find some clothes for you all!"

  When Hua Lieyang heard this, the young woman said seriously: "Our clothes are all in the next room!" Hua Lieyang nodded when he heard what the young woman had to say and walked towards the next room.

  It wasn't long before Hua Lieyang came back with a big pile of clothes and threw them into the house, saying: "You guys get dressed first! I'll keep watch outside!" After that, Hua Lieyang went out.

  He closed the door and Hua Lieyang waited outside for a while, hearing the cries from inside, preparing to go in. Just then, four or five people with guns rushed in through the back door. Seeing Hua Lieyang, those men ruthlessly pulled the triggers of their guns. With quick reflexes, Hua Lieyang rolled and dodged the incoming bullets.

  As soon as Hua Lieyang dodged, the people who rushed in immediately dispersed and prepared to surround Hua Lieyang. At this time, a young woman suddenly walked out and shouted: "Brother! He is our benefactor!" As soon as they heard her voice, the five young men stopped immediately! One of them turned around and looked at the girl who had just spoken to Hua Lieyang and asked: "Zixue, are you okay?!"

  The young woman shook her head and said, "I'm fine!" She then walked up to Hualei Yang and said, "My name is Ouyang Zixue! Thank you for saving me!"

  The young woman had just finished speaking, and the young man who had fired at Hu Lieyang first looked embarrassed and said to Hu Lieyang: "I don't know the hero's surname! I'm sorry for the offense earlier, please forgive me!" Hu Lieyang smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "It's good that your sister came out in time! Otherwise, all five of you would have become corpses by now!" After finishing speaking, Hu Lieyang ignored them and turned to walk towards other rooms.

  After a while, Hua Lieyang walked into the mahjong hall's accounting room. As soon as he entered the accounting room, Hua Lieyang heard rustling sounds coming from under the office desk. Upon hearing the sound, Hua Lieyang smiled and walked to the front of the office desk, knocking on it and saying: "If you don't come out, I'll shoot!"

  The person hiding under the office desk heard Hua Lieyang's words and hastily said: "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'll come out right away!"

  "What are you still dawdling for! Get out quickly!" Hualei Yang said fiercely. After a while, two hands were raised first, and then an old man crawled out.

  Hua Lieyang saw the person crawling out and said with a sinister smile: "Take out all the money! Including bank deposit slips!" Upon hearing Hua Lieyang's words, the old man trembled and said: "Good fellow, I'll go get it for you right away! Please spare my life, good fellow!"

  "What's the point of talking anymore! If you don't get it, I'll take action myself!" Hu Lieyang said angrily. Upon hearing Hu Lieyang's words, the old man reluctantly walked to the side of the safe and quickly opened it, saying: "Everything is in here!" Before the old man could finish speaking, Hu Lieyang found a large canvas bag nearby and said: "Put everything into it!"

  The old man heard Hua Lieyang's words and cried, reluctantly picking up the large canvas bag that had been thrown to the ground and putting everything back in. Then, Hua Lieyang looked at the safe in front of him and smiled, saying to the old man: "I'll give you a chance to live! You go first and stand inside the safe!"

  Under Hua Lieyang's coercion, the old man slowly walked into the safe. Seeing the old man enter, without waiting for him to say anything, Hua Lieyang immediately closed the safe door. Afterwards, Hua Lieyang checked around again and left with a big bag of spoils.

  As they walked back to the casino, they saw Yang Chun Guang and a girl named Ouyang Zi Xue laughing and chatting. Seeing this scene, Hua Lie Yang shook his head and said to Yang Chun Xiao: "Xiao Shu, it's all settled! Let's go!" When Hua Lie Yang spoke, Yang Chun Xiao smiled and walked over to him, picking up their things and preparing to leave, when Yang Chun Guang called out to Hua Lie Yang: "Ji Ting, where are you guys going?!"

  Hua Lieyang heard Yang Chun Guang's words and laughed, saying: "Of course we're going home! Why are you asking this?!" Hearing Hua Lieyang's words, Yang Chun Guang smiled and said: "Ji Ting, look at how they're handling it?!"

  Upon hearing Yang Chun Guang's words, Hua Lieyang came back to his senses and smiled as he took out 500 silver dollars from the large canvas bag, saying: "You distribute this money among them! We'll wait for you in the carriage!" After that, Hua Lieyang and Yang Chun Xiao walked out.

  Looking at Hua Lieyang's back as he left, Ouyang Zixue asked seriously: "Senior, who was the one who took out the money just now?!"

  "He is my sister's son!" Yang Chun Guang said to Ouyang Zixue: "Help me divide the money among them, so they can go seek refuge with their relatives!" Upon hearing Yang Chun Guang's words, Ouyang Zixue asked seriously: "How should we divide it?!"

  "Let's count how many people there are first! If we divide the money equally among them, that's it!" Yang Chun Guang said seriously. Upon hearing Yang Chun Guang's words, Ouyang Zixue started to get busy. Three or four minutes later, Ouyang Zixue returned to Yang Chun Guang's side and said: "Senior, there are a total of 48 people!"

  "So let's give them 10 yuan each! That should be enough for their travel expenses!" Yang Chun Guang said seriously. After that, Yang Chun Guang and Ouyang Zixue started distributing the money to no one.

  After a while, everything was settled. Yang Chun Guang walked out of the mahjong hall and went to the side of the car, saying to Hua Lie Yang: "Ji Ting, lend me your car!" Hua Lie Yang heard Yang Chun Guang's words, originally not very pleased with Yang Chun Guang's cold, heavily "hmmphed" and told Yang Chun Guang the address before saying to Yang Chun Feng: "Feng Shu, let's go!"

  Upon hearing Hua Lieyang's words, Yang Chunfeng drove away without saying another word. Yang Chun Guang watched as the car disappeared into the distance and angrily shouted: "Hua Lieyang, this isn't over between us!"

  Just as Yang Chun Guang was getting angry, Ouyang Zixue and his brother walked out. Seeing Ouyang Zixue walking out, Yang Chun Guang said embarrassedly: "I didn't borrow the car! Sorry!" Hearing Yang Chun Guang's words, Ouyang Zixue said embarrassedly: "You don't need to apologize to us! This matter is also our fault!"

  As soon as Ou Yang Zi Xue finished speaking, her brother walked up to Yang Chun Guang and said: "I'm really curious, are the people in the casino hall really all killed by your nephew and his underlings?!" Yang Chun Guang nodded and said: "This is what I saw with my own eyes! Can it be fake?!"

  Upon hearing Yang Chun Guang's words, Ouyang Zixue looked at her brother with discontent and said: "Brother! You and your friends fired shots indiscriminately without distinguishing between friend or foe! Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened! Otherwise, see how you'll explain yourself!"

  After a while, Hua Lieyang returned home. Seeing Hua Lieyang get out of the car, his grandmother hurriedly walked to his front and asked: "Child, where is your uncle?"

  "My uncle has gone to flirt with women!" After finishing, Hu Lieyang angrily walked into the house. Seeing Hu Lieyang's angry appearance, the old woman immediately looked at Yang Chunxiao and asked: "Chunxiao, what is going on?" When she heard the question, Yang Chunxiao could only tell the old woman about the whole thing from start to finish.

  After hearing what had happened, the old woman angrily said: "This good-for-nothing!" At this time, Fu Bo brought back Yang's family to their mansion on Shapingba Street. Seeing that everyone was back, the old woman took a deep breath and told Fu Bo: "Take them to live next door!"

  "Alright! I'll go right away!" said Fu Bo, leading everyone to the next room. After watching Fu Bo leave, the old woman shook her head and walked into the house. A while later, she knocked on the door and entered Hua Lieyang's study, saying: "Ji Ting, why are you still angry with that useless uncle of yours?!"

  Upon hearing the old woman's words, Hua Lieyang shook his head and said: "Granny! I don't have the energy to be angry with him!" Before Hua Lieyang could finish speaking, Yang Chunxiao walked into Hua Lieyang's study carrying a large canvas bag and asked: "Ji Ting, where should this bag go?"

  Hua Lieyang heard Yang Chunxiao's words and suddenly remembered today's harvest! So Hua Lieyang smiled and took over the big bag, saying to his grandmother: "Grandma! You can keep this money! After all, you have to support a big family!" When Hua Lieyang spoke, the old woman said excitedly: "Jiting, you'd better keep this money for yourself! Grandma doesn't need it!"

  Upon hearing the woman's words, Hua Lieyang insisted: "Grandma! Just listen to me, okay? If not, I won't be at peace when I go take care of things!" After glancing at his watch, Hua Lieyang continued: "Grandma! In a few days, I plan to go to Shanghai once. After finishing the matters in Shanghai, I plan to take the entrance exam for the Central Military Academy!"
