Chapter 67: Preparing to Attack
“That’s more like it! Huo Wannian couldn’t do it, so I will!”
Qian Pu cracked his neck, his face arrogant, as if he didn’t care about anyone.
“But you still need to be careful. The way those people died was strange. It might have been the work of someone in Shanhu Complex.”
“Big brother, you’re overthinking it. If Shanhu Complex had so many shotguns, they wouldn’t be afraid of Huo Wannian. It must be someone else.”
Qian Pu took out a cigarette and handed it to his brother. They both lit up and started smoking.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Qian Ming said seriously, “We have to be prepared for anything. Bring more men. Since we’re going, it’s not just about taking one woman. We’ll take all their supplies too.”
“That’s more like it, big brother! Dad’s strategy of laying low won’t work. We need to expand and recruit more men.”
“Dad just wants to be the king of his own little kingdom. Take five shotguns, twenty rounds of ammunition. Conserve ammo, use knives as much as possible.”
Qian Pu shrugged and smiled. “I know, big brother. Bullets are more precious than anything now. With five shotguns, I’ll scare them to death!”
“When do you plan to act?”
A sinister look appeared on Qian Pu’s face. “When they’re sleeping.”
“Good idea.”
At Shanhu Complex.
Tang Ze emerged from Feng Mengmeng’s apartment, stretching lazily. He had made good progress these past few days, his energy bar up to 7%. He was one step closer to getting the 3.0 gift pack.
On the sofa, Fu Qi sat, his face pale, holding a cup of hot water.
“We can’t keep this Tang Ze around. He’s definitely not as simple as he seems. Everything he shows us is fake!”
Fu Qi coughed, looking much weaker.
In contrast, Xi Meng’s complexion was rosy and glowing. She exuded an even more captivating charm, which made Fu Qi’s teeth itch.
“He’s useful to me.”
Xi Meng said in a low voice. She knew her husband had a point. Thinking about it now, a man with three beautiful women was indeed suspicious.
After all, a woman like Ye Qingyi would be highly sought after. How could Tang Ze have three of them? Had everyone in their complex died? Had no one tried to take them from him? Or had he just slipped out on his own?
“If we don’t kill him now, we’ll be the ones to die later!”
“If Tang Ze dies, I won’t be able to control those bosses, especially now that Huo Wannian is dead. They all want to be the new leader. Are you stupid?”
Xi Meng sighed and leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her forehead.
Fu Qi’s eyes glinted fiercely. “If Tang Ze dies, we’ll have his shotgun! Will those bosses still dare to be disobedient?”
This was a good point, but having the shotgun herself was completely different from Tang Ze having it.
“When Tang Ze comes over later, we can drug his drink with some sleeping pills and take care of him.”
“We can’t be rash. I need to think about it.”
Xi Meng didn’t want to act impulsively. She had fewer and fewer capable men by her side.
Hearing this, Fu Qi was furious. “Xi Meng, are you stupid?! Before he came, how many people did you have? Now, he’s the only one left! You have to beg him for everything! On the surface, you’re the boss of Shanhu Complex, but in reality, he’s the one pulling the strings!”
“Enough!”
Xi Meng’s eyes flashed.
Ding dong, ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
Fu Qi’s heart skipped a beat. It can’t be Tang Ze! Xi Meng was also startled. If Tang Ze had heard what they were saying, he would shoot them as soon as he entered.
“Open the door!”
Xi Meng hissed.
Fu Qi clenched his fists. As he opened the door, he saw Tang Ze’s friendly smile.
“So you’re home. Sister Xi wanted to talk to me about something.”
Fu Qi’s face flushed, and he squeezed out a few words through his gritted teeth, “I was just about to go out.”
“I see. Alright then.”
Without another word, Fu Qi left.
Watching his hurried departure, Tang Ze closed the door and smiled at Xi Meng on the sofa. “Sister Xi, I almost died today! I barely escaped with my life! I almost didn’t get to see you again.”
Xi Meng stared at him, trying to see through his hypocrisy. He was playing the victim, trying to get something from her.
“You’re getting bolder and bolder.”
She said calmly, trying not to sound too harsh, but expressing her dissatisfaction.
Tang Ze placed the shotgun on the coffee table and sat beside her. “Sister Xi, if you’re not willing, I’ll leave now. I guess I just misjudged you.”
Xi Meng’s lips trembled. He’s threatening me, and saying I’m untrustworthy!
I thought I had him under control, but now he’s the one in control!
“Alright, I’ll leave then. You take care of yourself.”
Tang Ze picked up the shotgun and stood up to leave.
“Come back!”
He paused, a smirk on his face. Yiyi, I never threatened anyone. I was just about to leave.
“Sister Xi, I, Tang Ze, am not such a casual man.”
Xi Meng: “…”
How could he say that?
“Alright, I was wrong…”
That’s more like it. Was it so hard for a woman to admit her mistake?
Fu Qi, in a terrible mood, went downstairs, wanting to find some comfort with Feng Mengmeng. He opened the door with his electronic key.
The apartment was dark. He turned on the living room light and saw clothes scattered on the sofa.
A bad feeling washed over him.
