Chapter 45: You’re All Devils
The remaining gangsters, having never witnessed such ruthlessness, felt like they were watching a child’s game. Two of them even ran out into the rain.
An Bai and Ye Qingyi calmly raised their pistols and fired.
The running men fell, blood misting from their heads. They hadn’t been killed by the rain, but by bullets.
“Nice shot, Sister.” An Bai said with a smile.
Ye Qingyi replied modestly, “Just lucky.”
The remaining four gangsters immediately knelt and begged for mercy. These weren’t humans, they were devils! Mr. Huo was like a choirboy compared to them.
Tang Ze sighed. “I just wanted a WeChat contact, but you had to start a fight. Now people are dead.”
The four gangsters cursed him inwardly for his shamelessness.
“Tell me, where were you planning to raid for supplies?” Tang Ze asked, smiling.
The gangsters had never seen such a terrifying smile. They scrambled to answer.
“Big Brother, we were going to Shanhu Complex.”
Tang Ze paused, surprised by the coincidence. “You were going to raid Shanhu Complex?”
“Not raid, just teach them a lesson, and scout the place.”
Tang Ze frowned. “I don’t understand.”
Sun Ting shot one of them.
“You explain.”
The gangster next to the dead body, his pants soaked with urine and feces, couldn’t speak.
Bang!
Tang Ze placed a hand on the gangster’s shoulder and smiled reassuringly. “Don’t be nervous. Just don’t be like those two.”
The gangster nodded vigorously.
“Our boss, Mr. Huo, has a deal with CEO Xi of Shanhu Complex. Mr. Huo provides water, and CEO Xi buys it at a hundred times the market price. But CEO Xi mortgaged her properties to Mr. Huo, and now he wants young men and women in exchange. She refused, so he sent us to cause trouble, kill a few people.”
The four listeners were surprised. You could still buy supplies with money?
They still held onto the hope of returning to normal. From a business perspective, it made sense.
Ye Qingyi suddenly asked, “Is this CEO Xi the one from Kangwei Real Estate?”
“Yes, yes, that’s her.”
Tang Ze turned and asked, “You know her?”
“I met her once at a banquet. And Shanhu Complex is her development.”
An Bai also remembered something. “I think I heard some first-class passengers talking about her, the real estate queen of Hua’an City, a philanthropist who donated to many elementary schools.”
“Yes, yes, that’s her.”
The gangster quickly confirmed.
Tang Ze frowned. “Did I tell you to speak?”
Sun Ting shot him.
The last gangster trembled, then suddenly convulsed, foaming at the mouth, his eyes wide open. He twitched on the ground for a moment and then died.
“Did he just die of fright?” An Bai asked, puzzled.
Ye Qingyi frowned. “Probably.”
“That’s scary.”
Tang Ze: “…”
Who’s scary? You women are more ruthless than me.
But from this encounter, he could see their combat skills had developed, and their shooting wasn’t bad either, headshots at ten meters with a moving target.
Just then, he heard the sound of vomiting.
Sun Ting and Ye Qingyi were leaning against the gas pumps, throwing up. An Bai patted their backs and gave Tang Ze a helpless look.
You’ll get used to it.
“Get a phone.”
Tang Ze said softly.
An Bai took a phone from one of the dead gangsters’ pockets, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and changed the settings.
Tang Ze wanted to see who this Mr. Huo was. Gathering intel was important.
Back in the car, Tang Ze suddenly remembered something. “Is this CEO Xi you mentioned beautiful?”
“Yes, she is.”
Ye Qingyi nodded.
“As beautiful as you?”
“About the same. Bigger breasts.”
Tang Ze, sitting in the back, leaned forward and looked, then reached out and groped. “Really?”
Ye Qingyi blushed slightly. “Yes, really.”
“Okay. Such a successful CEO, how old is she?”
“Around thirty-six or thirty-seven, I think.”
“An old woman.”
Tang Ze lost half his interest, imagining sagging skin and wrinkles.
Ye Qingyi rolled her eyes. “She takes good care of herself. I’ve seen her. She looks like she’s in her late twenties.”
“You’re exaggerating.”
“Really, I’m not lying.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“You…”
“Unless you bring her to me.”
Ye Qingyi: “…”
An Bai and Sun Ting giggled. This was the real Tang Ze, slightly humorous. He was actually quite handsome. Why didn’t he have a girlfriend?
One word:
Poor.
Just as Ye Qingyi was about to start the car, a woman in a nightgown ran out of the gas station building, her hair disheveled. She looked to be around thirty and had a decent figure. “Wait! Wait!”
Ye Qingyi stopped the car and rolled down the window. “What’s wrong?”
“Can you take me with you? Please! I don’t want to stay here anymore.”
The woman pleaded, her hands clasped together.
Seeing Ye Qingyi’s silence, she continued, “These men kept me here on purpose. Every time they come, they… Please, have mercy on me! I’ll do anything in return!”
Tang Ze rolled down his window and smiled. “Sorry, miss, no more room.”
Seeing the empty passenger seat, the woman knelt down. “Big brother, please! I have a mother and child at home, please!”
Tang Ze sighed. “It’s quite pitiful. Let’s just end her suffering.”
Ye Qingyi’s heart trembled. Save her, then kill her?
Looking at the woman kowtowing on the ground, Ye Qingyi slowly pulled out her pistol.
The woman looked up and saw the gun pointed at her, terror flooding her eyes. “I’m sorry! I’ll leave, I’ll leave!”
She turned to run, and Ye Qingyi pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A mist of blood sprayed into the air.
An Bai lowered her head, looking slightly saddened. Tang Ze pulled her close. “That’s how it is in this world. She would have only suffered more. It’s better to give her a quick death.”
He added that if anyone wanted to join them, they had to meet their standards.
Taking out the gangster’s phone, Tang Ze looked through the chat history. This Mr. Huo was quite resourceful. The group had 287 members, and he was the leader.
These eight men were just a small team, and Fengzi was their leader. As they had said, they were sent to Shanhu Complex to cause trouble, but this “trouble” wasn’t just vandalism, it was murder.
“Do you think, since these guys haven’t replied, their boss will assume they were killed by the people at Shanhu Complex?”
Tang Ze mused.
Sun Ting opened a bottle of water and handed it to him. “Knowing Mr. Huo, he won’t just send another warning. He’ll gather his men and attack Shanhu Complex.”
