You Have No Right to Bargain with Me
Bai Long's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm.
"Little brother, you can't go back on your word!"
"I already paid for my life!"
Bang!
Ye Tian raised his hand and struck him with the butt of the gun again.
"Bullshit!"
"What money for your life?"
"That's money I robbed you of myself!"
"Pfft!"
Bai Long nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked at Ye Tian, his face twisted, utterly speechless.
Bai Long had been in the underworld for decades, but this was the first time he had encountered such a ruthless character.
Everyone said Bai Long was crooked, but this kid was far more crooked than he was!
He'd taken the money and refused to honor the deal!
"Fine, fine, fine. I admit defeat today."
"Name your price. How much will it take to buy my life?"
Bai Long's face was livid as he spoke angrily.
Ye Tian smiled disdainfully and shook his head.
"Not a single cent."
"Because, in my eyes,"
"Your life isn't worth a penny!"
Bai Long's heart gave a jolt, and the veins in his face began to throb.
Not a single cent?
Then why the fuck did you swindle me out of ten million?!
"What the hell do you want?" Bai Long was nearly out of his mind as he roared.
Ye Tian's face suddenly turned cold, and he demanded sternly,
"Speak! Why did you bully my family?!"
Bai Long froze, then said,
"I don't even know you!"
"Besides, do you think I'm capable of bullying your family?"
At that moment, Bai Long suddenly felt so wronged he wanted to cry.
You fucking came in and crippled so many of my brothers, swindled me out of ten million, and beat me until my head was bleeding.
And now you're saying I bullied your family?
Who the fuck is bullying whom?!
"Qingshui River Village. The demolition of the old house."
"Wasn't that your handiwork? Didn't you send people to do it?"
Bang!
When Ye Tian remembered how his mother had nearly been run over and killed, his anger flared up from nowhere.
He raised his hand and struck Bai Long hard with the butt of the gun again.
Bai Long howled in pain.
But his heart suddenly trembled as something occurred to him.
Then his eyes flew wide open, and he looked at Ye Tian in disbelief.
"Y-you're Ye Tian?"
"Impossible! Weren't you dead?"
Ye Tian's pupils contracted, and a cold, fierce glint flashed through his eyes.
Bai Long had never known him, and he had disappeared for two years.
Yet Bai Long had called him by name at once.
He even knew that Ye Tian had been murdered.
Clearly, Bai Long knew his family's situation very well.
How could the boss of a town gang know everything about an ordinary rural family like his?
It seemed this was no coincidence.
Bai Long had deliberately targeted his family.
But his parents were honest, simple people who would never have offended someone like Bai Long.
The only possibility was that someone had put him up to it.
Bang!
Ye Tian fired a shot into Bai Long's thigh.
"Aah!!!"
Bai Long fell to the ground with a bloodcurdling scream.
He looked at Ye Tian, terrified beyond measure and shaking like a leaf.
"Don't kill me! Please, don't kill me!"
Ye Tian aimed the muzzle at Bai Long's head.
His voice was cold, as though it came from the depths of the nine nether hells.
"Speak! Who told you to do it?!"
"You only get one chance."
"If you dare tell even half a lie, I'll blow your head off!"
Bai Long's face was deathly pale. Clutching his thigh, he said in a trembling voice,
"If I tell you, will you let me go?"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian fired another shot into his other leg.
"Aah!!!"
"My leg!"
Cold sweat streamed down Bai Long's face from the pain, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
"You have no right to bargain with me."
"Talk, or die!"
As Ye Tian spoke, he aimed the muzzle at Bai Long's forehead again.
His finger rested on the trigger, his killing intent surging as though he might fire at any moment.
Bai Long's eyes flickered, and he was beside himself with panic.
His lips moved as though he were in the midst of a fierce internal struggle.
Ye Tian grew impatient.
"I'll count to three."
"If you don't talk, I'll send you to the western heavens!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Ye Tian's eyes turned cold, and he was about to fire.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Bai Long's mental defenses crumbled in an instant.
He cried out to Ye Tian in terror.
