"Brother Shan, right? Don't get agitated. I've brought some men out to talk to you. Be careful of accidental discharges; make sure you see who you are before you shoot." A voice casually pushed open the smashed window, revealing a tin megaphone, and loudly proclaimed, "Otherwise, if your own family members get shot, I'm afraid you'll feel guilty."
Before Han Chongshan could react, a woman's voice rang out from the tin loudspeaker. "Brother Shan..."
Han Chongshan closed his eyes in anguish. It was his wife's voice. This time, he had completely fallen into their trap.
"Did you hear that? Your family and the families of your brothers are all here. Are you going to step forward yourself, or are they going down to join you? You choose?" The male voice came through the tin loudspeaker again.
Han Chongshan roared, "Who betrayed me! Gui Xiu Wen, was it you?!"
Han Chongshan was convinced that Gui Xiu Wen had betrayed him, because Tiu Keng Leng was a very special place. The entrances and exits were guarded by defeated Nationalist Army, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to enter or leave. Without collusion between insiders and outsiders, it was impossible for his family to have been kidnapped here.
"Don't be angry. We don't necessarily need someone close to you to betray us for us to succeed."
"Bullshit! You wouldn't have been able to get into Tiu Keng Leng without a mole!" Han Chongshan gripped his gun with both hands, his face contorted with rage!
"My name is Huang Liu. I used to be the deputy captain of the Kuomintang security brigade. I have connections in Tiu Keng Leng. My boss said that as long as you step forward, everyone will be safe. My boss is a businessman, not some official like the one surnamed Tan. My boss only seeks to make money peacefully." Huang Liu, holding a tin megaphone, hid by the window and shouted, "But even if you're peaceful, you only have thirty seconds. Think it over: do you want to turn around and run away, or step forward?"
Han Chongshan tried to turn around several times, but in the end he dropped his two guns, stepped out from behind the wall, and raised his hands.
"Smart guy!" Huang Liu threw down the megaphone, stood up with a grin, and the next second, he raised his hand to reveal the dark muzzle of a gun in the window. Without hesitation, Huang Liu pulled the trigger and fired five shots in quick succession!
One shot hit Han Chongshan in the forehead! Four shots hit Han Chongshan in the chest! Han Chongshan's body jolted, several streams of blood spurted from his chest, then he stared wide-eyed and fell backward into the rain!
Huang Liu put away his gun, turned to look at the subdued Gui Xiu Wen, and said, "Just kill a few of them. I guarantee the safety of the rest of your wives, children, and elderly parents."
Looking at the family members tied up in the inner room, Huang Liu then turned to Gui Xiu Wen: "You know what to do, right? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to treat you to a late-night snack? Go back and tell that Fourth Brother!"
Huang Liu, gun in hand, glanced at the rainy night outside the door and took a step to leave. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said to Gui Xiu Wen, who was following behind him with a grim expression, "By the way, from now on, remember to call me Brother Shan."
Chapter 515 Anyone want to come up and borrow a light?
Chen Tai sat in the empty factory building. The flames in the trench had long since gone out, and now only an oil lamp flickered beside him, with six or seven cigarette butts at his feet.
"Are you even a brother of the He-prefix gangs? Are you helping your brothers or outsiders?" The words Handkerchief Qing said to him before leaving made Chen Tai somewhat irritated, and he spat out a mouthful of saliva.
Handkerchief Qing made it very clear that their goal tonight wasn't to deal with Song Tianyao, but rather to find out the whereabouts of Xianyu Shuan's wife and daughter from Chen Tai. They wanted to use Xianyu Shuan's wife and daughter to force Scribe Hui to release the captured underworld Big Brother. Moreover, in Handkerchief Qing and the others' view, neither Scribe Hui Xianyu Shuan had any familial relationship with Chen Tai, and Chen Tai had no reason to reject his fellow disciples on their behalf.
To Handkerchief Qing's disappointment, Chen Tai simply shook his head, indicating that he was now a useless person and did not want to get involved in gang affairs.
Seeing Chen Tai's Handkerchief Qing appearance, and considering that their Big Brother was being so amiable to this down-on-his-luck guy yet the man still wouldn't listen, one of his henchmen arrogantly retorted, "If you don't want to interfere, then don't! You think you're so..."
Before Chen Tai could react, Handkerchief Qing had already turned around, taken a running start, and in a swift motion, kicked his underling out of the factory gate. "Get out!"
"A-Tai..." Handkerchief Qing finished speaking and looked at Chen Tai: "He's new to me, so just assume he didn't mean it."
Chen Tai chuckled nonchalantly, "Brother Qing, it's alright. It's just that I really don't want to get involved in this matter. Whether it's Scribe Hui or Xianyu Shuan, they've all eaten and drunk with me before."
"Okay." Handkerchief Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I understand, then that's settled, it won't stop you from continuing your boxing practice."
Handkerchief Qing led his men out of the factory, but before leaving, he turned back to Chen Tai and said, "Are you really a brother of the He-prefix gangs? Are you helping your brothers or outsiders? You need to think this through carefully."
Chen Tai sat in the empty factory, pondering what he should do. He had become a disciple of Bo Cong and joined the Harmony Heroes, so he was naturally a member of the He-prefix gangs. However, he felt guilty about revealing the whereabouts of Xian Xianyu Shuan's wife and daughter because of his loyalty to the gang, thus coercing the Scribe Hui and indirectly threatening Song Tianyao.
The ups and downs of his life during this period had shown him the coldness and warmth of human relationships in the martial arts world. Chen Tai held no grudges against those who followed the powerful and loyal. His success in the martial arts world was due to the opportunities given to him by the Big Brother Bo Cong, and his own hard work. Apart from Bo Cong, no one else was worth risking his life for.
On the contrary, he now misses the days when he and Xianyushuan, Shiyehui and the others ran errands for Song Tianyao, making flower tarts in Chen Qingwen's candy shop, helping Song Tianyao move with them, etc. At that time, it seemed that the three of them except himself, Xianyushuan and Shiye Hui or Hui is still a so-called Jianghu person under the Fuyi Xing family, but he is just an inconspicuous little guy. As for himself, he is a country boy who was fished out of the police station by relying on Song Tianyao's relationship. Compared with himself who only wants to make a name for himself in the Jianghu, Shiye Hui is more like Xianyu Shuan. It seems to be just the opposite. He wanted to leave the world and become an ordinary person. At that time, Chen Tai thought that these two guys were incompetent and had no chance to succeed, so he was discouraged. Now, after experiencing so many things in the world, Chen Tai felt that he had already mastered it. Whether it was Xianyu Shuan who went to Hexi or Shi Yehui who was now rich and wealthy, it was right to have focused on following Song Tianyao and to get out of the world early. If he had the opportunity to be a serious businessman, why bother struggling in this dirty water.
