Chapter 60: Face Turns In An Instant
“I didn’t expect to be discovered like this… Actually, I saw it on Police News, so the stabbing angle and force were completely different when I acted. If it was a Federal Police forensic expert, they would definitely notice this.” Chen Wujun pondered expressionlessly.
“But the gang and loan shark aren’t police… they won’t check that closely, as long as it looks about right! They don’t need evidence anyway.”
“This is like throwing flirtatious glances at a blind man, a waste of effort.”
“And I did make a mistake, I like stabbing necks, and when drawing the knife, I subconsciously cut to enlarge the wound…”
“These two points combined are the reason I was discovered.” Chen Wujun firmly memorized this lesson.
His father often said that people aren’t afraid of making mistakes, but of making the same mistake, unrepentant, stepping into the same pit.
“Take people and grab the loan shark company people too!” Chen Wujun turned to Ah Fei.
Then he picked up the telephone and called Sister Sha Jiu: “Senior Sister, we’ve got the people! The bone was pretty tough, but I still pried his mouth open. Bing Ye really colluded with Li Dong to frame me.”
“More specific!” Sister Sha Jiu’s voice came from the other end of the telephone. She needed to know the details to avoid giving anyone leverage.
“They said the wound on the killed loan shark person looks a lot like the wound on Li Dong’s killed person… so they said I did it.”
“That’s it?” Sister Sha Jiu sneered.
“That’s all. Who knows how his people died, maybe he killed them himself! Just to frame and sabotage, affecting the gambling duel!” Chen Wujun said.
“Got it! Wait for my call!” Sister Sha Jiu hung up after getting the news.
Chen Wujun sat in the chair behind the table and flipped through the drawer, seeing a pack of cigarettes and a box of condoms inside.
He took out the cigarettes, lit one with the lighter, and casually pocketed the cigarettes and lighter.
After twenty minutes, Sister Sha Jiu called: “Come to Jin Di Finance.”
“Watch the people.” Chen Wujun left the gambling den and headed to Jin Di Finance.
This time he wasn’t in the mood to cause trouble for Ji Xiang and those henchmen. He knocked and entered Sister Sha Jiu’s office directly. Ji Xiang was already inside.
“We’ll talk together later.” Sister Sha Jiu was holding a stack of documents and looked up at Chen Wujun.
Chen Wujun had just sat down when Cun Bao arrived, right after him.
Then A Hao and Hua Zai Rong.
Everyone except Kai Lun was there, and Sister Sha Jiu said: “Recently we’re in a gambling duel with Li Dong, and Jun Zai is preparing fully.”
“But someone grew the courage of a leopard, daring to stick their foot in, colluding with Li Dong to set a trap for Jun Zai.”
“Sister Sha Jiu, who has such big courage? I’ll take him out!” Cun Bao said immediately.
“It’s Bing Ye!”
“Who’s Bing Ye?” Cun Bao was puzzled. He seemed to have heard the name but couldn’t recall.
Chen Wujun finally met someone with even less experience than him.
“A loan shark with wide connections, linked to many gangs.” Ji Xiang said.
“You don’t need to worry about the rest. I’ll meet him soon. If he doesn’t give me a satisfactory explanation, just take him out.” Sister Sha Jiu leaned back in the chair.
“Jun Zai will come with me then.”
“You need to do another thing…” Sister Sha Jiu threw a stack of documents onto the table.
“These are the locations of all Bing Ye’s loan shark companies, 16 in total.”
“Wait for my call, then control all the personnel and ledgers for me, especially those IOUs, not a single one missing.”
The few exchanged glances. Sister Sha Jiu said if Bing Ye didn’t give her an explanation, they’d take him out.
But she had prepared documents on all of Bing Ye’s loan shark companies, clearly planning to take out Bing Ye and seize all his loan shark companies.
“Sister Sha Jiu, isn’t it too dangerous for just you two? I’ll go with you.” Ji Xiang said.
“No need, just us two is enough!” Sister Sha Jiu grinned, her expression full of confidence and flamboyance.
“What you have to do, though—that’s all my money!”
The few picked up the documents to look through. Soon Ji Xiang frowned: “These companies are all on other gangs’ turf.”
“He Yi… He Yong… Four Greats… Four Lines… Guang Lian…”
“No need to conflict with them. If they interfere, tell them to wait until I handle Bing Ye, then sit down to talk.”
Sister Sha Jiu’s eyes were full of burning ambition.
The Walled City is different from other places; it’s a lawless land.
Outsiders don’t come in, and Walled City gangs don’t go out.
Moreover, Walled City people are used to the environment without Federal Police, so outside they feel restricted.
But Sister Sha Jiu was full of ambition, long wanting to expand territory and leave the Walled City.
Just never had the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity suddenly fell into her lap, and of course she had to seize it.
And even if she couldn’t ultimately stand firm outside with this opportunity, Bing Ye’s fortune and those loan shark IOUs were still a huge gain.
Sister Sha Jiu checked the time on the wall.
“It’s now 3:50 PM. At 8 PM I’ll meet Bing Ye at the teahouse on Gaosen Long Road. Arrange your manpower and wait for my call.”
The few nodded, divided up the 16 loan shark companies by location, and left one after another.
Before leaving, Ji Xiang glanced at Chen Wujun.
This guy really affected his status.
“Tonight just us two going, you scared?” Sister Sha Jiu propped her legs on the table.
Chen Wujun shrugged, looking indifferent.
What was there to be afraid of?
His courage was already great, and after practicing martial arts, it was boundless.
Moreover, recently in martial arts practice, he figured out a technique: using the “crane wings” power from his back to drive his legs, running extremely fast, 20% faster than normal speed.
Normal people couldn’t catch up to him.
“Call your people, bring those few.” Sister Sha Jiu said again.
“Okay.” Chen Wujun nodded.
After 7 PM in the evening, Chen Wujun and Sister Sha Jiu sat at a street stall outside the Walled City west entrance, each holding a bowl and skewering fish balls to eat.
After finishing the fish balls, the car arrived.
Sister Sha Jiu’s luxury car slowly stopped at the intersection.
The two put their bowls on the table and got in the car.
Moments later, two minivans followed behind, with Chen Wujun’s people inside.
Then the three cars headed to Gaosen Long Road.
“Whose gang turf is this?” Chen Wujun looked at the brightly lit bustling street outside and asked.
He felt he needed to understand the power distribution outside the Walled City.
“Four Lines’. Four Lines’ eldest son is Tan Cheng, practiced old technique Tan Leg from childhood, later specialized in new technique, decent strength, with five or six hundred men under him.” Sister Sha Jiu said.
Moments later, the car stopped in front of a teahouse. Chen Wujun and Sister Sha Jiu got out, and Curry also got out, following behind them.
The three went up to the second floor of the teahouse and saw a group of people.
One in his fifties, wearing a suit, with a cold-faced man sitting by the round table.
It was Bing Ye.
At the tables next to him sat more than twenty people. Seeing Sister Sha Jiu and Chen Wujun come up, they all stood and went behind Bing Ye.
One with a harelip, cruel gaze, called Beng Zui She, was one of Bing Ye’s top masters, strength not weaker than Wen Long.
“Sha Jiu, what are you playing at?” Bing Ye toyed with a teacup in one hand, asking lazily.
“What am I playing at? What are you playing at?” Sister Sha Jiu said with an unfriendly expression.
“Old Ghost Bing, you colluded with Li Dong, set a trap for my people. I think you’re asking to die?”
“Sha Jiu, don’t spout nonsense. I could say your people killed mine and robbed my money. Who’s Jun Zai? The one behind you?” Bing Ye sneered, his mind racing: how did Sha Jiu know about this.
“You say it’s nonsense and it is?” Sister Sha Jiu smiled and sat opposite Bing Ye.
Chen Wujun signaled to Curry, who quickly went downstairs. Moments later, a dozen henchmen dragged six people up, all beaten beyond recognition.
“Old Ghost Bing, I’ve got a gambling duel bet with Li Dong now. You colluded with Li Dong’s person, set a trap for my people, framed me—what more is there to say?” Sister Sha Jiu stared tightly at Bing Ye, her gaze playful.
Seeing these people, Bing Ye’s expression didn’t change, his gaze even colder, with some irritation at being questioned:
“What do you say? Why don’t you ask your new henchman what he did? You think I was just fooling you earlier?”
“So you’re not planning to give me an explanation?” Sister Sha Jiu grinned, her smile brilliant and dangerous.
“Explanation? I demand one from you!”
This was exactly what Sister Sha Jiu was waiting for.
Before Bing Ye finished speaking, Sister Sha Jiu slammed her palm under the table. The entire table lifted into the air, flipping and smashing toward Bing Ye.
