Chapter 61
The bespectacled man Mo Haisheng shot dead the last Little Brother of Changjiu Finance Company on the scene, then discovered his own body and hands were out of his control.
Watching his right hand slowly rise and press the gun against his own temple, he wanted to struggle desperately in terror, but to no avail.
Only at this moment did he realize just how desperate those Little Brothers who had killed each other, and Hui Ge, had felt in their hearts.
He also only now realized what kind of monster his group had actually provoked.
This fundamentally isn't something a human can oppose!
Desperate struggle couldn't change the fact that he was pressing the gun muzzle against his temple; tears streamed from the bespectacled man's eyes as he watched the two approaching and shouted desperately:
"Big Brother, I still have use, Big Brother!
The surveillance hasn't been deleted yet, those people upstairs haven't been released; if they don't leave and Tangkou people arrive, they'll take it out on them!
They might all die, Big Brother!"
From the fact that not a single gambler upstairs was harmed, he guessed these two before him wouldn't harm the innocent, and might even be susceptible to moral coercion.
Just like right now.
Chen Yaozu walked up to him, patted his shoulder: "Relax, I won't kill you, just want to tell you not to play tricks! And to let you know who you're dealing with.
Also, after you go up and release the people, delete the surveillance data.
If even one thing isn't done, I can make you kill yourself.
Also, I just thought about it — your plan has a flaw.
The Vietnamese ransacked the finance company; impossible without an internal informant, and you're the only one left alive among these people.
So you're the internal informant; don't harbor false hopes, I'm doing this for your own good.
Understand?"
Finished speaking, he and Ceng Hongbing swaggered off.
Only after the two got in the car and left the street district did the bespectacled man Mo Haisheng feel his body loosen, his limbs regaining control.
The feeling of escaping death made tears instantly well up in his eyes!
Recalling that person's words just now, he hurried upstairs to usher all gamblers to leave via the elevator.
He knew with this many gamblers, there'd definitely be people familiar with Tangkou; this couldn't be hidden for long.
So, after releasing everyone, he quickly ran to the office, destroyed the surveillance data, and formatted the hard drive.
Then taking the gun he quickly went downstairs and home, at the fastest speed dug out the cash, bank cards, and passport hidden under the floor, drove to pick up his wife and kids, and vanished.
He was going to Mexico, going to Brazil; as long as they left America, his family would be safe.
That person had already told him his current role was internal traitor.
Since he was an internal traitor, he had to do what an internal traitor should do.
Besides, everyone died bizarrely.
Everyone dead, only he survived — even with a gunshot to the shoulder, he ultimately lived.
And that shot was too perfect, grazing a bloody furrow on his shoulder without hitting bone; this injury presented to the Fuzhou Gang's Los Angeles Tangkou Master might even be seen as definitely a self-inflicted wound scheme.
Because that's how movies play it; otherwise why would the other side spare you when everyone else is dead?
So what that monster said about doing it for his own good actually made some sense, and precisely because of this, Mo Haisheng ran like hell.
As for the call to Fuzhou Gang Los Angeles Tangkou Master Zhang Rusong, that was because an old gambler who escaped with his life told the news to a Little Brother acquaintance who survived by not being at the finance company today.
And this Little Brother passed the message up through acquaintances at other company branches, and only then did the news reach Zhang Rusong.
Zhang Rusong quickly brought people here; seeing a floor of corpses, he knew the situation was urgent and these corpses had to be handled promptly.
Otherwise if the police find out, it really will be a big deal!
"Tangkou Master, the dead here are all our people, and these corpses haven't been moved at all.
Can tell they killed each other! The safe's been opened, cash looted, other IOUs and account books untouched.
Most importantly, Mo Haisheng who managed accounts for Changjiu Finance Company didn't die, but has now vanished with wife and kids.
And they even deliberately destroyed the surveillance, deleted data, formatted the hard drive."
Those examining the scene were all Tangkou veterans; they quickly spotted the anomalies — the casino Little Brothers actually all killed each other, too bizarre! Yet they couldn't understand what actually happened.
"Remove the hard drive and take it back; Zhou Jiping should have the ability to recover what's on it."
Zhang Rusong recalled the fellow townsman who maintained a revenue stream for him; he should have this tech.
……
After Chen Yaozu and Ceng Hongbing got in the car and just drove out of this street district, Chen Yaozu's face went pale in a flash, his whole body instantly going limp, cold sweat soaking him through.
"Yaozu, what's wrong?"
Ceng Hongbing took one look and hurriedly asked, subconsciously wanting to pull over to check on him.
"Don't stop, drive fast!"
Broad daylight, still under gunfire, making the Brazilian female ghost possess so many people in a row — this required him to transmit Qi and Blood through the Seal Authority to sustain the Brazilian female ghost's ability.
But today's matter was too big; massive Qi and Blood transmission drained his entire body.
"Just send me back first; in my current state, I'll easily attract interrogation!
The stuff in the car can't withstand a search! Then you quickly go to a Chinese medicine shop, buy a few old ginseng roots and two chickens, I urgently need to replenish Qi and Blood!"
Hearing this, Ceng Hongbing instantly understood.
This was clearly because the ritual just now consumed too much, so he needs to replenish.
Just like how Outlander Immortals need heavy tonics after possession; if not replenished in time, it damages lifespan.
And Chen Yaozu wasn't wrong — with this package in the car, if LA police found it, it'd be enough to arrest them both.
From the city center back to Portwater High School was truly a long drive; right now Chen Yaozu felt every day like a year.
But luckily, Portwater High School's gate was right ahead; Ceng Hongbing's car was stopped as it approached.
"Very sorry, sir, your vehicle isn't registered, entry not allowed!"
The guard's hand rested on his gun grip as he came over to check.
The passenger window rolled down, revealing Chen Yaozu's pale, weak face: "Mr. Hunter, you're on duty today?"
Seeing him, the guard relaxed slightly: "Oh! It's you, Mr. Yaozu Chen, your complexion looks terrible, are you sick?"
Chen Yaozu replied vaguely: "Yes, should be sick, feeling awful.
So I need my friend to send me back to the apartment, and later he'll have to go out and buy me some medicine, trouble you to let him through too."
"Ok, wish you a speedy recovery, sir!"
"Thanks!"
The guard cleared the way, watching the car drive into campus, still somewhat uneasy, he went into the guardhouse, picked up the phone, and dialed Chen Yaozu's apartment.
No one answered, so he dialed Olivia's home.
"Is this Ms. Olivia Hill? Your family member Mr. Yaozu Chen was just sent back by a friend, but his complexion looked off, he seems extremely weak, was sent back by a friend.
Mr. Chen says it's his friend, but I need you to confirm, if there's danger contact the guard immediately.
Also, stay alert when you go check."
Yaozu's body extremely weak? Olivia instantly felt something was wrong; as family who had spent that much time together, how could they not sense how powerful Chen Yaozu's body was.
Now the guard actually called to say Chen Yaozu was physically weak, sent back by someone — there had to be a problem.
