Chapter 114: Put Yourself In Their Shoes
Cun Bao’s face turned ashen. He had been dozing off in the car earlier, and by the time Chen Wujun warned him, it was already too late for him to break through the window and jump out.
This time he had lost a lot of face. He crawled out through the car window, kicked off with his feet, and darted directly into the crowd, instantly knocking two people flying.
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, with one punch or one kick, he could directly kill someone.
Not to mention there were others getting out of the car.
Even for new technique martial artists in the initial construction stage, their physical quality was twice that of ordinary people.
And they had specifically trained in modern combat techniques.
Those Luoyue People suddenly discovered that the targets in front of them were ferociously terrifying; they were all actually new technique martial artists, and they were immediately scared out of their wits, turning around to flee at once.
Chen Wujun stood in place without moving the whole time, watching as several new technique martial artists charged in. Over a dozen Luoyue People fell, and now seeing those Luoyue People trying to escape, he shouted loudly: “Capture two alive.”
After he gave the order, he turned his head to look behind him. A group of henchmen jumped down from another bus, similarly beating those Luoyue People until they turned and fled.
Moments later, Li Wei and Fa Zai dragged two Luoyue People back. The malice and cruelty in those two Luoyue People’s eyes had completely vanished, leaving only fear and pleading.
After being thrown in front of Chen Wujun, they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
“Tell me, what’s going on? Who sent you?” Chen Wujun expressionlessly stepped on one man’s hand, exerting force with his foot and crushing all the bones in his hand.
He felt that this group of people was a bit off.
“Ah—!” That Luoyue Person immediately collapsed on the ground screaming, desperately trying to pull his palm out from under Chen Wujun’s foot.
“Someone placed a bounty… someone placed a bounty for blade hands… 1000 bucks just for showing up, 100,000 for killing one person… we don’t know anything…” The other Luoyue Person was scared pale, constantly kowtowing.
“Oh? Who placed the bounty?” Chen Wujun asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Hei Ge, it was Hei Ge…”
Chen Wujun pressed for two more details before realizing these people were actually street punks.
A man called Hei Ge had placed the bounty, saying a big boss was footing the bill to hack people—a group of Hua Yan tourists from North Port.
1000 bucks just for showing up, 100,000 for killing one.
The first person Chen Wujun killed had only been for 30,000 bucks.
100,000 for killing one was enough to make these punks go all out.
“What the hell are they up to?” Chen Wujun frowned at first, a thought flashing through his mind like lightning; he suddenly realized what was waiting for them.
“Damn it, we got played!”
While on the ship, he had been pondering that these local gangs weren’t strong, but they were locals—ground snakes—who might have ties to the local police, so they needed to stay alert.
Now, his group had just gotten off the ship, and the enemy had found a bunch of punks to attack them.
These punks weren’t the key.
The key was that there was a car accident here, and a bunch of dead bodies.
Next, the federal police at West Dike would definitely conduct a strict investigation.
The police might already be not far from here.
He glanced at both sides; the highway was flanked by vast rice fields.
Chen Wujun suddenly kicked the Luoyue Person in front of him flying seven or eight meters, then turned and kicked the other one flying as well.
The two spat out blood before even landing, rolled several times after hitting the ground, and then went silent.
“Check on our people and gather them up.” Chen Wujun gave the order, then turned and in just a few steps darted dozens of meters away.
Sister Sha Jiu was on the bus behind, legs crossed and smoking.
She paid no attention at all to the chaos outside.
“Sister Sha Jiu, these people were temporary punks recruited on the spot. The police will probably be here soon.” Chen Wujun said as he arrived beside Sister Sha Jiu.
Sister Sha Jiu smiled, a hint of appreciation in her eyes: “Jun Zai, your brain turns fast. Looks like you didn’t read those books for nothing.”
Chen Wujun’s progress was indeed quick, not just in kung fu.
Just from these punks, he immediately thought of the enemy’s follow-up move—that alone was praiseworthy.
“Since the local gangs don’t play by the rules, we don’t have to either.”
Though he didn’t know if Xin Ye was behind this, he had to admit it was effective, giving them a lot more trouble.
Most importantly, this was Luoyue People territory.
His group stood out a lot here.
“We’re still over ten kilometers from the city. Let’s split up and head into the city first.”
Chen Wujun spoke a few words with Sister Sha Jiu, then turned to ask about Curry and the others.
From the earlier collision and rollover, these masters were fine, but the henchmen on the vehicles had suffered some casualties due to being caught off guard; one unlucky guy had his neck snapped.
Luckily, it wasn’t one of Chen Wujun’s men.
But two of Chen Wujun’s subordinates had broken arms.
“Bring those two unlucky bastards and walk to the city.” Chen Wujun said expressionlessly.
He said a word to Cun Bao, then led his people directly into the rice fields on both sides of the highway.
As soon as he entered the rice fields, he heard police sirens in the distance.
Chen Wujun turned his head to look; sure enough, it was just as he thought.
“See, I told you. We almost got screwed.” Chen Wujun sneered to Curry and the others.
By the time seven or eight police cars arrived at the scene, all they saw were corpses everywhere, along with several minivans and box trucks.
Past these corpses, they saw a bus that had flipped into the rice fields, and another bus stopped on the roadside; both buses were empty.
“Officer, these people look like they were hit by a car. Most of the bones in their bodies are broken; they’re new technique masters.” Two officers checked the bodies on the ground and reported.
The leading police superintendent looked toward the rice fields on both sides.
“Notify headquarters to send reinforcements.”
“Notify the special task department.”
……
At the same time, at a private club in West Dike.
“Superintendent, these people are lawless villains! If they come to West Dike, they’ll definitely bring huge hidden dangers to West Dike’s public security.” A middle-aged man with large white patches on his face raised his wine glass and laughed.
“But I believe under your leadership, Superintendent, these people won’t stir up much trouble.”
“By the way, I went back to my hometown a few days ago and brought some local specialties. I’ll have someone deliver some to Police Superintendent Li later.”
The superintendent surnamed Li across from him, who was in charge of West Dike’s entire criminal department, wore a reserved smile.
He was very satisfied with the other’s tact and understanding, and somewhat looking forward to the local specialties.
Moments later, both sides parted ways.
Police Superintendent Li arrived at his car and saw two boxes on the ground.
He opened the car door, put the boxes on the seat, and opened one to look; it was filled with cash.
Such a box contained one million in cash.
After the man with the white patches left the club, he went to a nearby teahouse.
“Fei Nan, don’t forget what you promised me. Otherwise, I’ll let you know I’m not that easy to fool.”
“Rest assured, we’re partners. After all, who we partner with is the same, right? You’ve seen the goods.”
“Chen Long is getting greedier, always wanting to squeeze the price. So my boss is planning to change partners.” Sitting opposite was Fei Nan, one of Xin Ye’s subordinates.
Chen Long was the dragon head of Xiong Long Gang, while the man with white patches was called Ruan Mingjin, nicknamed Milk Cow, and was the boss of Pingchuan Gang.
Of course, no one dared call him that nickname to his face.
Whether Bei He Sect or Xiong Long Gang, they were both smokescreens put out by Xin Ye; Pingchuan Gang was Xin Ye’s actual partner this time.
“Here’s to a pleasant cooperation!” Fei Nan raised the teacup in his hand.
……
At five in the afternoon, Chen Wujun brought Curry, Fa Zai, Li Wei, and over a dozen of his subordinates into the city center.
He called Sister Sha Jiu, and after waiting a moment, two minivans stopped in front of Chen Wujun.
The driver immediately spotted Chen Wujun sitting by the roadside, holding a soda bottle.
“Brother Jun, get in. Sister Sha Jiu sent me to pick you up.”
The minivan then took them to Shoutian District. It was newly developed, but many rich people had built villas here, all along the river with high walls and large courtyards.
As the vehicles passed, barking came from inside the courtyards.
The two minivans entered a courtyard, and then the gate closed.
Chen Wujun got out of the car, looking around as he entered the villa’s living hall, and immediately saw Sister Sha Jiu sitting on the sofa.
Chen Wujun sat on the sofa to one side.
“Senior Sister, where’d this villa come from?”
“Borrowed it. What else, robbed? Your two senior brothers might actually do something like that.” Sister Sha Jiu smiled.
“Smooth trip?”
“Smooth, but West Dike’s police will probably be looking everywhere for us next.” Chen Wujun had originally planned to stroll around West Dike properly, but now that seemed impossible.
“They’re not important. Xin Ye is!” Sister Sha Jiu said flatly.
“We need to get moving, contact Elephant as planned… but the plan needs to change.”
“Bei He Sect’s Double Blade Dragon Li Wenlong probably has nothing to do with Xin Ye. Have Elephant go cause him trouble.”
“Xiong Long Gang’s bunch of mixed-bloods likely aren’t his people either.”
“Xin Ye, that old fox, definitely won’t put his cards on the table.”
“West Dike has two more gangs: Pingchuan Gang and Nanjin. We’ll hit them first, try to capture their dragon heads. Whoever’s colluding with Xin Ye, we can lure him out that way. If not them… tough luck.”
They were just some Luoyue People anyway; dead was dead.
Sister Sha Jiu had never intended to play along with Xin Ye’s arranged script from the start.
“This is on you!” Sister Sha Jiu said.
“Sure, leave it to me!” Chen Wujun laughed, a glint of eagerness in his eyes.
A gang dragon head should have plenty of assets, right?
“How do you plan to do it?” Sister Sha Jiu asked with interest.
“Have a nice little chat with them, see if their bones are harder or my fists are!”
Chen Wujun didn’t believe these Luoyue People weren’t afraid of death.
Even if a few weren’t afraid of death, he didn’t believe they all weren’t.
Even if they weren’t afraid of death… they all wanted to rise up, right?
Without the old boss dead, how could they rise?
Chen Wujun put himself in their shoes and felt he could persuade them.
After all, he’d only been with Sister Sha Jiu a short time and was already plotting how to take out Ji Xiang, A Hao, Hua Zai Rong, and the others to clear his own path.
