Chapter 492: The Sea is Calm and the River is Clear

A Xin is a capable kid; when things happen, he really steps up, charging straight at the cover and drawing the sniper's attention from upstairs.

Although it was thrilling, with the bullet flying past his hair, he at least bought his companions some time.

After a few of them located the sniper's position, they immediately launched a counterattack.

Unfortunately, because the handgun's range was so pathetic, it posed no threat to the sniper at all.

After several consecutive shots, the bullets drifted off to who knows where.

"This won't work, our guns have short range, we can't hit him at all!" A Fei said to A Mai beside him.

A Mai thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll get a bit closer!"

As he spoke, A Mai ducked into the advertising banner nearby and kept moving forward.

Then, at the end of the banner, he fired directly.

After closing the distance, the handgun's range was barely enough to threaten that sniper.

Both sides exchanged shots, making for quite a lively scene.

A Gui immediately had Alai drive, protected Dalao Wen as he got into the car, and while Alai was busy chasing the gunman, everyone jumped into the car and fled immediately.

This enraged Alai, who went berserk on the spot and gave A Gui a beating as soon as they got back.

Although A Gui didn't act honorably in this matter, their mission was to protect the Boss, so there was nothing wrong with it.

The two only had a personal grudge, and A Gui also felt guilty, thinking about helping Alai resolve some troublesome matters.

As a Red Pole of the organization, Alai had several streets under his control.

But now that he had come to protect the Big Brother, there was no one to manage things on the streets.

Someone called Laoshu took the opportunity to step onto Alai's turf; for the safety of this small team, and to let Alai focus on his work, he stepped forward to deal with this guy Laoshu.

……

"Sure enough, the Boss was absolutely right!" Laoyu heard his subordinate's report and couldn't help but frown.

If things continued like this, not only would Feixiang have no chance to finish off Dalao Wen and Anan, but he would also be followed down the vine to the melon, and his secrets would be exposed.

So Laoyu pondered for a while and reported it to Chen Jiajun.

Listening to Laoyu's report, Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said, "So, the men left behind by the old head of the Yi Branch really have some skills?"

Laoyu nodded: "I had someone look into it in detail; it's precisely these people without records who are the most formidable. On the contrary, the two most famous Red Poles have performed quite ordinarily."

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Chen Jiajun said with some curiosity: "Being able to cultivate talent for one's son and keep them hidden for over a decade, that's not a skill an ordinary gang leader should have."

"That is indeed the case. I only found out after a deep investigation that the old head of the Yi Branch was once a secret agent! He was part of the team that pursued Yixiantian in Hong Kong back then!"

Looking at the investigation file, Laoyu said: "This guy was lucky enough not to die, and after the mission failed, he didn't dare to go back, so he took root in Hong Kong!"

"Relying on his secret agent skills, he quickly made a name for himself in Hong Kong, then joined the Number Gang and became the leader of the Yi Branch!"

"A Gui and the others were all trained by the old head of the Yi Branch. Among them, A Gui once had a very loud reputation in the underworld, nicknamed 'Ghost-Fear'; A Mai, A Fei, and the others were all gunmen by the old head's side, responsible for protecting his safety."

Hearing Laoyu's introduction, Chen Jiajun's eyes widened in surprise: "Whoa, so there's that kind of history!"

Laoyu nodded and said: "So I think the people Feixiang found might not be a match for these few, and it's even likely they'll be killed in return! By then, what Feixiang is doing behind the scenes won't be able to be hidden!"

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said: "Interesting! Isn't it said that A Gui is preparing to stand up for Alai? This is a good opportunity; just take out this 'Ghost-Fear' and clip their wings!"

"Understood, Boss!" Laoyu chuckled.

……

At Fulinmen Restaurant, the restaurant was closed during the day, providing space for A Gui and Laoshu to negotiate.

"You're Laoshu?" Seeing a guy wearing round sunglasses and looking sleazy, A Gui asked directly.

Laoshu looked arrogant and said to the restaurant owner beside him: "Who is this?"

"I'm A Gui!" A Gui sat down directly and said to Laoshu: "Don't go messing with Alai's place anymore!"

"Hmph!" Laoshu sneered contemptuously and said: "Why?"

"Stop messing with it!" A Gui continued to persuade him.

"Pfft!" Laoshu didn't pay A Gui any mind at all, instead pointing at the restaurant owner and cursing: "You damn..."

But just at this moment, A Gui struck ruthlessly, grabbing Laoshu's head with one hand and slashing the blade in his hand fiercely across his neck.

Laoshu had almost no time to react, only able to clutch his throat and struggle incessantly.

A Gui casually threw the bloody blade onto the table, then lit a cigarette and walked out of the restaurant.

Although there weren't many people left in the underworld who remembered the name 'Ghost-Fear', his ruthlessness was in his bones.

After all, for a guy who knew how to pull a knife and stab people at age five, killing someone was as simple as eating or drinking water.

After finishing off Laoshu, A Gui was just about to drive back.

But at the other end of the alley, someone was already waiting for him.

This was a burly man with a sturdy build, two point two meters tall, almost blocking out the few rays of light in the alley.

His muscles were knotted all over his body; one look and you could tell he was the type not to be trifled with.

However, when A Gui saw the man's face clearly, his expression changed instantly.

Because he recognized the newcomer as Dumu, the bodyguard by Chen Jiajun's side.

A Gui looked at Dumu vigilantly and said: "I don't recall ever offending Mr. Chen, do I?"

As he spoke, A Gui had already secretly gripped his handgun from inside his sleeve.

Although he hadn't been in the underworld for many years, he was still familiar with the people in it.

Especially the few experts by Chen Jiajun's side; his memory of them was still fresh.

He didn't feel that the gun in his hand could give him any sense of security.

"Of course not, it's just that you're blocking the way a bit!" Dumu said while walking toward A Gui.

A Gui immediately drew his gun and pulled the trigger at Dumu rapidly.

His marksmanship was decent; after all, he had been trained by the old head of the Yi Branch, and every shot was aimed at Dumu's head.

However, Dumu merely raised one arm and blocked all the bullets.

Those bullets could not even pierce Dumu's muscles, merely leaving a few craters on the surface of his skin.

The bullet heads were all deformed by the immense defensive power and then fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, A Gui did not dare to hesitate; he turned around and intended to run.

Unfortunately, his speed was much slower than Dumu's; he had not even run three meters before Dumu reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

Instantly, A Gui's left shoulder felt as if it had been clamped by hydraulic pliers, and his bones were emitting bursts of wailing sounds.

In pain, A Gui became ruthless; he turned around, drew the Dagger hidden at his waist, and stabbed directly at Dumu's eyes.

"Heh!" Dumu chuckled, then opened his mouth and bit down on the blade of the Dagger. With a burst of force, the Dagger made a harsh sound and snapped on the spot. "Monster!" A Gui only had time to roar at Dumu before his neck was snapped by Dumu.

"Ghost-Seeing-Sorrow?" Dumu shook his head, then casually tossed A Gui's corpse aside and said indifferently, "Too weak!"

……

Dumu had finished off A Gui, and the Old Prison side was not idle either.

A Fei, who had suffered a loss last time due to firearms, prepared to find the arms dealer to get two more guns.

This was so that he would have the ability to fight back if he encountered an emergency.

Just as he was about to trade with the arms dealer, several people suddenly rushed out and opened fire on them.

Even though A Fei reacted quickly and hid behind cover to fight back, he still could not escape the fate of being riddled with holes.

Because the marksmanship of this group of people who suddenly appeared was simply too good!

Even if he only exposed half of his body, the opponent could still send every bullet into his body.

……

With two people dead in succession, the remaining few suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"What's going on? Why haven't A Fei and A Gui returned yet?" In Dalao Wen's home, Alai asked with a frown.

A Mai also felt that something was wrong; the two had only said they were going out to handle some business and would be back soon.

They should have arrived by this time, but unfortunately, after waiting for another half hour, they still did not see anyone.

A Mai picked up his phone and dialed A Gui and A Fei's numbers.

The phone rang, but still, no one answered.

This period of time gave A Mai an ominous premonition.

A Xin, however, said carelessly, "Brother Gui and A Fei are both so capable, there shouldn't be any problems!"

A Mai did not think so.

Because this matter was truly too strange; assassinations were happening one after another, but the organization still had not found out who was doing it.

Coupled with the constant expansion of the Yi Branch during this period and some rumors in the underworld, this feeling of A Mai's grew increasingly intense.

He was a very cautious person, and he never liked to put himself in a dangerous situation.

Moreover, this intuition had already saved his life many times!

After pondering for a moment, A Mai took the initiative to suggest, "Alai, A Xin, you two pay attention to protecting Man Gor, I'll go out and check the situation!"

Alai nodded: "Be careful!"

A Mai walked out of the villa, drove, and left the place directly.

Yet he did not notice that a car had already quietly followed behind him.

The Information Officer in the car chuckled at the sight and said, "Another one has been isolated; should we go and take him out?"

Another Information Officer said indifferently, "Follow him first and see where he intends to go."

A Mai drove far away from the city center, unexpectedly heading straight to the Pier, and then boarded a fishing boat.

"Smart man!" The Information Officer in the car chuckled when he saw this scene and said, "He was actually able to discover that things were wrong and immediately ran away! Consider him lucky!"

A Gui and A Fei were dead, and A Mai had fled after seeing that the situation was wrong.

Now, only Alai and A Xin remained by Dalao Wen's side.

Although these two were considered very capable fighters among the young gangsters, they were different from the killers trained by the old leader of the Yi Branch; they could only be considered ordinary people.

Therefore, Feixiang's third assassination arrived quickly.

Having received the news, Feixiang was making a desperate final struggle this time.

He not only gathered all the Vietnam gunmen he had hired but also did not spare the forces in his own hands, directly raiding Dalao Wen's villa.

The result naturally goes without saying; Alai and A Xin both died in battle on the spot while protecting Dalao Wen.

Both were shot into beehives; as for Dalao Wen, he was wearing a Bulletproof Vest and managed to escape death, not being killed on the spot.

However, he was already on the verge of death at this moment.

"Cheung Suk, why?" Dalao Wen looked at Feixiang, who was walking in from outside, with an expression of disbelief and questioned him sternly.

Feixiang leaned on his cane, sighed, and said, "Your old man came here from his hometown and struggled to make a living with me in the Walled City, working his way up from a lottery stall to a branch leader!"

"Everyone put in just as much hard work, but I just don't understand one thing: why is this branch, why is it now only managed by you people surnamed Hong?"

"So... I'm not convinced! Your old man was formidable; I was indeed no match for him. But you two little ones, I can still touch!"

This speech by Feixiang could be said to have voiced the accumulated grievances of many years.

Dalao Wen finally understood why Feixiang had made a move against him.

During this time, the Yi Branch's expansion speed was very fast; if Feixiang did not take advantage of this time to act, he probably would never have a chance for the rest of his life until he died.

Feixiang said with a smile, "Don't worry, you won't be lonely down below; I will send your younger brother down to accompany you right away!"

Saying this, Feixiang gave a wink to the gunman beside him, and then the gunman drew his gun and pulled the Trigger at Dalao Wen.

Feixiang had planned for so many years, so naturally, he had considered many factors.

After finishing off Dalao Wen, he sent people to guard the villa, waiting for Chen Haonan to walk right into the trap.

The bond between the two brothers was not fake; not long after, Chen Haonan contacted the five bodyguards and discovered that no one responded, so he immediately felt that something was wrong and brought a large group of men to the villa.

And then... there was no then.

They had already set up a full-armed ambush on one side, launching a surprise attack that instantly shot and killed all of Anan's men.

Anan himself was struck in the head by a stray bullet, falling face-first to the ground on the spot, never to get up again.

With this, both leaders of the Yi Branch had died here.

Feixiang also got his wish and sat in the top chair of the Yi Branch.

Feixiang was a smart man; after becoming the boss, he immediately contracted his forces to consolidate his power.

Anyone within the Yi Branch who dared to show their head was directly crushed by him, and then he cleaned up the other businesses within the gang.

As for matters on the outside, he didn't care about them at all.

As for the other branches of the Number Gang, they were having a streak of terrible luck right now.

Li Wenbin and Daquan Bao together had beaten almost every branch of the Number Gang that dared to show its face.

And it was that kind of unreasonable, hard-hitting fight, fully demonstrating their determination.

The Number Gang, which had been jumping around fiercely, was now completely obedient. (End of chapter)
