Chapter 29 Return to Jiangbei

  Lan Jie and Da Han were both severely injured, which was almost unthinkable to everyone. In the eyes of Cheng Ming's group, Da Han's skills had already reached an inhuman level. Even their strongest member couldn't withstand Da Han's attacks for five rounds. They had all tried to take him down together before but failed. And now this woman appeared out of nowhere, looking like a special agent from TV dramas with her impressive appearance, but was her martial arts really that formidable? If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.

  The sedan's Cheng Ming had an extremely ugly expression, with a dark face. He had many subordinates, not to mention fistfights, but even gun-wielding ones were numerous. However, this was in China where the rule of law was extremely strict, and using guns was a major taboo. Even among underworld firefights, opportunities to use guns were rare. It was under such circumstances that skilled fighters became particularly important. And without a doubt, this burly man was one of Cheng Ming's most valued subordinates.

  Dahan called Daxing, he was a talent who spent a lot of money to dig up many years ago, he had high hopes for him, even the most trusted elite team was let him lead, and Daxing all these years never disappointed Chengming, no matter how many people wanted to kill him, the hardest pass was always here at Daxing, and in fact, this pass had never been broken, Daxing's name, not only in the city, but also in the national circle, was a household name, however, today, an unknown woman, forced Daxing to seek help, what exactly is going on.

  The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Cheng Ming had been so used to smooth sailing all these years that no one dared to slap him in the face, not even someone with superior martial arts skills. So after calling for help from Daxing, Cheng Ming didn't say another word and directly pulled out a hard object from the car and threw it at Duanyan Liu who was about to jump out of the car.

  Liu's one eye sparkled with great joy, he knew what it was, a gun. The boss had many guns, but he rarely used them and didn't allow his subordinates to use them privately either, because he knew that here, the government's bottom line was guns. A black society with knives and a black society with guns were completely different in nature.

  At the beginning, when Daxing and that woman were competing in internal force, he felt something was wrong. Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the door, others don't know, but he saw it clearly. Daxing was completely relying on brute force, and no matter what, he would definitely make a move because here, his skills were second-rate. He knew how terrifying a top martial artist's final counterattack could be. In his heart, he didn't want to, but he had no choice, as he was just someone else's subordinate. So when Daxing asked for help, his heart was extremely anxious, but now he wasn't afraid because he had a gun.

  What is a gun? In some sense, the gun is the terminator of martial arts. As early as modern times, the collision between Chinese martial arts and modern technology has begun. However, from the corpses of many martial arts masters in modern times, the result is obvious: technology wins, guns win.

  When that one-eyed Liu jumped out of the car window, I secretly said it was bad because that shiny handgun was really eye-catching, and damn it, he even took a silver-white handgun with him.

  But before I reminded her, Lan sister had already noticed that in fact, she was much better at playing with guns than me. So when one-eyed Liu appeared, she knew things were going to be difficult because she didn't have a gun - the only gun on her body had been thrown into the trunk by me and it wasn't even loaded.

  The only fortunate thing was that Duiyan Liu and Daxing were both very close to her, at this close distance, the effect of the gun was weakened to the extreme, so in the next moment, Lan Jie raised her fist again and rushed towards Daxing.

  Entwined in a fierce battle, only after getting a good grip on Daxing did Liu, the one-eyed man, lose his chance to fire a shot. Lan Jie was confident that they wouldn't dare shoot because Daxing's formidable skills made him a core member of any faction. If someone like him could be easily killed by their own people, the organization would surely disband, as everyone would be terrified. She herself came from Li Huaguang's gang and naturally knew this.

  Lan knew this principle, and others naturally knew it too. When Lan came to entangle him, Da Xing secretly called out in distress. Since things had come to blows, Cheng Ming would definitely try to kill them off. But now that he was being entangled, what was going on? If he were to be mistakenly killed, then he would truly have been wronged. However, even if he knew this, he couldn't do anything about it. His martial arts skills were no match for Lan's. At this moment, Lan was recklessly entangling him, and he had no way of shaking her off in the short term. He could only hope that Du Yan Liu would take pity on their past camaraderie as colleagues and not take advantage of his misfortune.

  Duyan Liu didn't dare to fire rashly, the two men were entangled too quickly, and if he fired rashly, who would end up dead? Although he had thought about shooting Da Xing with one bullet and taking his place, this idea was immediately negated by himself. Because he was very clear about Cheng Ming's methods, he wasn't someone easy to fool. More importantly, he was very satisfied with his current position, there was no need for him to go from being a manager to a bodyguard.

  Duyan Liu was hesitant, but I was anxious, the pistol threatened us and I knew it, more importantly, human physical strength is limited, Lan Jie can now entangle that big man, but a minute, ten minutes later? This place is full of opponents, when Lan Jie's strength is exhausted, that will be the time of her death. If Lan Jie dies, what will happen to me?

  I gripped the Tianling sword tightly in my hand, although the sword was good, it still couldn't compare to a gun, if only I had a gun in my hand too.

  Gun, right, I have a gun too.

  Suddenly I also thought of it, I also have a gun, although there is no more ammunition, but this does not mean that it has lost its power. Thinking of this, I immediately turned back, I want to go to the trunk to find the gun.

  But when I turned back, I was stunned, because I saw that the gun had been grabbed by Lin Kaiquan, only his hand was still trembling, and his whole body was shaking.

  "Boss, how did this gun end up in your hand?"

  "Lao San, you deceived me, this is not a toy gun at all, it's real!" Lin Kaiquan didn't respond to my words, but instead let out an extremely excited low growl. In fact, the difference between a real gun and a fake one can be easily distinguished when held in hand. The cold killing aura of a real gun is something that a toy gun cannot imitate no matter what.

  I snatched the gun from Lin Kai's hand, not paying attention to his words at all. Toy gun? Hehe, why would a grown man in his twenties carry a toy gun? I'm not sick.

  As I turned around, I felt a strong killing intent rushing towards me. Right at that moment, the one-eyed Liu had his gun pointed directly at me. He must have known that he couldn't take down Lan Jie for the time being, so wounding or killing me to restrict my movements was the most correct choice. However, what he didn't expect was that I also had a gun. When he saw the muzzle of my gun pointing at him as well, his hand visibly shook.

  "Don't move, no one is allowed to move, whoever moves I'll shoot dead" The standoff with guns, this was an experience I had never had before. But the murderous intent still made my hands and feet ice-cold. I didn't even know how to fire a gun, and at this distance of over ten meters, even if I had bullets, I wasn't sure I could hit anyone. Moreover, the gun was empty, so at that moment, the intimidating force was greater than the power of the bullets. So I opened my mouth and shouted loudly.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Lan Jie soon understood my intention and, after exchanging a high-five with Da Xing, quickly withdrew and walked to my side to confront Du Yan Liu.

  "Put down your gun"

  "Put down your gun, if you don't put it down I'll shoot"

  …..

  He and I, Old One-Eye Liu, stood there with our necks stiff, yelling at each other, trying to intimidate the other into putting down his gun. But it was clear that neither of us could back down. Old One-Eye Liu didn't know my gun was empty, nor did he know I'd never even fired one before. So he was wary of me, and if I backed down first, I'd be finished.

  "Old Three, Old Three, that gun..."

  "Shut up!" Lin Kaiquan weakly said behind his back, but before he could finish speaking, he was loudly scolded by Lan Jie with a murderous intent and full force, immediately stunning him.

  "Everyone, the hatred between us is not small, but it's not to the point of life and death, why don't we just stop here? Hearing Lan sister's loud shout made my sense of crisis grow stronger, if I don't hurry up and solve this, I'm afraid other things will arise."

  "That's it, we didn't have any grudges to begin with, why don't you put down the gun first?" One-eyed Liu shouted. Putting down the gun and talking would be great, but there was a big shot behind him, so he had to show some attitude no matter what.

  "Hmph, since you're not sincere, let's just end it together then. Lin Hao, aim at his brow." Lan Jie coldly hummed and said, while I also moved the gun muzzle to Du Yan Liu's brow.

  "Hmph, we'll die together, who's afraid of whom? How many bullets do you have in your gun, five, eight, or twelve? Count how many people I have here." One-eyed Liu sneered coldly. This move was quite famous in Hong Kong movies, and he had also figured out that the type of handgun I held could hold at most twelve bullets.

  "Hmph, come on then, Lin Hao. You started playing with guns at the age of 8, go ahead and show off your marksmanship, one shot each, I'll take care of the rest." Who knew Lan Jie was better at bragging than me? Playing with guns at 8 years old, damn it, what was I doing at 8? It seems like I was playing house.

  Thinking of this makes me want to laugh, but others don't know my identity, so they just looked at me with half-belief and half-doubt.

  "What kind of people are you, Lin Hao? I've remembered this name." Cheng Ming slowly got out of the car and walked to Duanyan Liu's side, placing his hand on top of Duanyan Liu's gun-holding hand, slowly pressing it down.

  Damn it, Lan Jie screwed me over. As soon as I heard my name being called, I knew I was done for. Lan Jie, how could you call out my name?! Turning back to look at Lan Jie, she had a calm expression on her face, as if nothing had happened. Then looking at Lin Kaiquan who was shrinking away with his head down, forget it, there's no point in dragging him down with me anyway.

  "Yes, I'm Lin Hao, so what? You're the boss of Jin Ying Hang, right? You must know what happened in your store. It was our fault, but we also left with sincerity. Why are you being so ruthless, do you think we're made of mud?" Since we already know each other's names, I'll just go all out now.

  Cheng Ming sneered, "Five hundred thousand yuan, is the rule of Jin Ying Hang worth only five hundred thousand? Do you know what happened to the last person who broke the rules of Jin Ying Hang?"

  Damn it, only a pig would ask you that, such a familiar dialogue I wouldn't fall for it, but just as I was about to add some harsh words, a weak voice came from behind "Was it the last time at Jinying Department Store selling counterfeit goods and being caught, ending up with high paraplegia?"

  Oh no, what is a feeder teammate? This is exactly what a feeder teammate is. Suddenly, all the momentum I had built up before was completely ruined.

  "Hey, this friend looks familiar, oh, you're the son of Lin Lao Ban from Jincheng Real Estate, right? Please give my regards to your father." Du Yan Liu recognized Lin Kai Quan at a glance, after all, being familiar with every VIP client's information was his professional habit.

  "You, you," Lin Kaiyuan was so frightened that he couldn't speak, if he couldn't even hear such an obvious threat then he would be a fool.

  "Dare to move my friend, and you'll be waiting for endless pursuit! I'm a lone wolf, play whatever you want to the end." Hearing him threaten Lin Kai, a nameless fire suddenly burst out in my heart, threatening loved ones is my reverse scale.

  "Haha, grievances have a head and debts have an owner. I, Cheng Ming, am not the kind of person who uses others to threaten enemies. Now let's talk about how to solve this matter."

  Those who are not afraid of being barefoot are actually most afraid of running into those bare sticks, especially those bare sticks that don't care about their lives. Those with families and attachments are actually the easiest to deal with.

  "Alright, what else do you want to settle? Golden Eagle Airlines owes me compensation, now it's your turn to come after us, what more do you want?" Lan Jie replied.

  "Golden Eagle's rules have been broken, I certainly can't ignore it. Coming to kill you is also reasonable, not to mention we lost a brother. However, I know you didn't do it on purpose, so I won't make things difficult for you either. Just return to Antique Street, apologize sincerely at my shop door, and that's all. What do you say?" Cheng Ming said, "Agree, agree, once you're in my territory, you'll be like meat on the chopping board."

  "It's impossible, we need to leave here immediately"

  "Where to go?"

  "If he's killed", if her brother was killed by Li Huaguang, then Li Huaguang would be the one she must kill.

  "Who to kill?" Cheng Ming asked again.

  Nothing can be promised, but I can guarantee here that if you let me go today, one day I will personally go to Jinying Bank to apologize. It's all been said, and Lan couldn't afford to be tough anymore, after all, being too hard would lead to a breakdown in negotiations.

  Lan Jie yielded, and Cheng Ming also hesitated for a moment, because after careful consideration, it seemed that making both sides suffer losses might not be worth it. Looking at the opponent's skills, if they were to let them go today, who knows how many more people would be lost? Moreover, this was related to many other things, and with his status and position, he had long been ready to make a move that would affect the entire situation.

  But just as Cheng Ming was about to make a decision, the sound of police sirens came again. It turned out that when Lan Jie started running away, she didn't choose the highway where it's easy to leave clues, but instead took the national road. After all, the national road is where the roads are dense and suitable for escaping. At present, there aren't many cars on the national road, so Cheng Ming's people blocking the road didn't seem like much at first, but as time passed, more and more people arrived.

  Especially when we see so many people gathered here, the characteristic of Chinese people loving to watch has been fully demonstrated. The several subordinates left by Chengming to block the road can't stop them at all. Although they dare not directly insert, it can also be seen that we are holding guns and confronting each other, and there are suspected dead bodies lying on the ground. How can such a major event be settled? In addition to taking photos and posting Weibo, some people also called the police for the first time, so the police car came.

  "Continue or withdraw" the police whistle, I see the police whistle again, and I find that I really love this police whistle sound, it has saved me several times, especially in this big environment at home, there are really not many people who dare to openly oppose the government.

  As expected, within three seconds, Cheng Ming gritted his teeth and ordered a retreat. However, before leaving, he told Lan Jie that he hoped she wouldn't forget her promise, after all, he still had to account for it to the outside world.

  "What's wrong with you, still standing there?" Lin Kaiwei got into the car in a daze, and Lan Jie quickly started the car and drove away.

  The police car was chasing behind, we didn't dare to be blocked again, so we abandoned the car at a random fork in the road. Now that we have money, it's not hard to get another car. It took me a lot of effort to send Lin Kaiquan away, I didn't dare take him to Jiangbei, what lies ahead, even I myself don't dare to be certain.

  So after ten hours we returned to Jiangbei again. As I walked on the bustling streets of Jiangbei, I always felt that something was not quite right.

  "Lan sister, have you noticed? I feel like something is off here." I turned to ask Lan sister.
