Chapter 215: This Is Retribution

The voice coming through the phone froze Hong Shaoli on the spot.

"?"

The few people at the dining table also sensed something was wrong and stopped their chatter.

"Brother Hong, I know this news is too sudden for you. Honestly, when I got the call I couldn't believe it either, until I arrived at the scene and found a field of corpses, among them, including, including your wife."

The voice on the phone was intermittent, as if also afraid of angering the other side.

Everyone present turned pale at that moment.

"Are you sure? You found her corpse? No case of mistaken identity?" Hong Shaoli asked through clenched teeth.

"No."

Han Yong sighed, "Her body was right at the shop entrance; both her head and thigh were shot, the headshot being fatal. By the time we arrived she had already breathed her last. The corpse is still on site; we only covered it with a white sheet. You can come over and see for yourself."

Hong Shaoli heard this and the last strand of Hope in his heart shattered.

He clenched his fists, wishing he could crush the phone in his hand.

"Brother Hong, rest assured, we're looking for eyewitnesses. It's said someone saw the killer's appearance; once we know his looks, finding him is just a matter of time."

"Got it, I'll be there right away."

Hong Shaoli finished speaking and hung up.

"Junior brother Hong, what happened to your sister-in-law?" Duan Jie asked concernedly.

"Yeah, senior brother Hong, what happened? Is sister-in-law okay?"

The other senior and junior brothers also quickly voiced their inquiries.

"She was murdered."

Hong Shaoli's eyes turned blood‑red.

Although Liu Yun was just an ordinary person, she was an outstanding supportive wife, especially when it came to business acumen.

Yet she met a violent death at the shop entrance.

He would scour even the ends of the earth to catch that killer and tear him to pieces!

"What!"

Although Duan Jie and the others could grasp the gist from the call, hearing Hong Shaoli speak it himself left their faces utterly shocked.

"How could this happen? Your sister-in-law is kind‑hearted and friendly; how could she be killed?"

"Indeed, such a good sister-in-law—who could be so ruthless?"

"This is utterly unreasonable! Senior brother Hong, your matter is our matter. We'll go right away; if we find the killer, we'll make it impossible for him to live or die!"

"Exactly, the murderous scoundrel! If I catch him, I will skin him, dismember his bones, and shred his corpse into countless pieces!"

Seeing this, Hong Shaoli felt a little better, inhaled sharply, and said, "Thanks for all the brothers' kindness, but I can handle this alone. Senior brother, I have urgent business, so I won't accompany you."

"Wait a moment, junior brother Hong."

Duan Jie also stood up.

"I'll go with you."

"Senior elder brother, let's all go together."

"No, you all need to stay to guide the members, especially if Master steps out of the sect and sees us absent—it would be terrible. I'll just accompany junior brother Hong for a trip."

The others, hearing this, could only nod.

The two hurried downstairs, got into a car, and sped toward Dingshi Loan Company.

At the same time.

Around Dingshi Loan Company, a police cordon had already been set up.

A crowd gathered nearby, murmuring quietly.

"It's terrible, seven or eight people inside the shop all died, the walls inside are all covered in blood!"

"The worst is the shopkeeper's wife; she was shot in the head, then her corpse was dragged out and left at the door. Supposedly, when the killer emerged, someone happened to pass by." "What! That person wasn't doomed?"

"I thought the same, but the killer either didn't see him or something, just left him alone. In fact, that person called the police."

"That's really odd; the killer has already slain so many, killing one or two more wouldn't matter, yet he didn't act. Isn't he afraid of being exposed?"

"Who can say? But if you ask me, these people aren't anything good; it's fine if they die."

"Shh! The Enforcement Squad is still here, keep it down!"

People nearby jumped in fright.

Actually, the locals know Dingshi Loan Company isn't a good place.

Their neighbors, friends, or acquaintances who took loans ended up forced into destitution, wandering the streets.

But they're just ordinary folk, at most gossiping privately; even passing by the shop entrance, they dare not glance inside.

After all, who knows that in this line of work, you need some background? At that moment, a limping silhouette walked toward here.

It was the man who had been swindled dry and had his leg broken.

He had been lying peacefully on the ground when he suddenly heard people around discussing that everyone at Dingshi Loan Company had been killed.

At first he didn't believe it.

He asked several more people.

All gave the same answer.

He was overjoyed, yet feared it might be a false hope, so he decided to come over and see clearly.

But he didn't dare get too close, fearing capture; he just watched from afar within the crowd.

Sure enough, something covered by a white sheet at the entrance resembled a corpse in outline; inside the shop were even more terrifying—seven or eight bodies, all draped in white sheets.

"Really dead?"

The muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.

He was duped into having nothing left, even breaking a leg; he cursed those people in his heart more than once, "Heaven strikes and thunder Chop, may they die a miserable death!" Yet he knew it himself.

The chance of such a thing happening is virtually nil.

To be able to Chop a person to death is already a sign that the Old Heaven has opened his eyes.

Result,

All died! Could it be that the Old Heaven truly heard his own thoughts? At that moment, he heard the surrounding people discussing the murderer, quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

A man in his thirties, of average height, wearing a black coat?

His brows were tightly knit.

The more he listened, the more it sounded like the man who had approached him during the day.

At that time he was also deeply aggrieved, voiced his ordeal, and the other party said they would help him vent his anger.

Then, the events before his eyes unfolded.

The crippled man's gaze turned again toward the opposite side.

Suddenly a shiver ran through him, his body trembling.

Could it really be that person? After hearing of his injustice, they helped him kill all those people! "Exactly, it must be so! It must be so!"

The crippled man was instantly filled with hot tears.

Otherwise, why would those bastards, never getting into trouble before, meet it today? This is retribution, this is retribution!

At that moment, a sedan sped over, stopped beside a police car, its door opened, and two men dressed in training robes stepped out.

This scene left the surrounding people stunned.

They recognized that the training robes on those two seemed to be from the nearby Kuangfeng Martial Arts School.

Are they, Kuangfeng Martial Arts School members?
