Chapter 1727: Beiping Old Dream: Beauty Actor Overpowers the Big Shot 42

Even though they knew this was a Hongmen Banquet, Zaoliang Haidou and Weier had no room left to leave.

Perhaps out of spite, Weier lifted his head and gulped a mouthful of wine, then slammed the table angrily: "You're dissatisfied with the garrison! You're deliberately threatening us! Even your superiors wouldn't dare do this!"

Zaoliang Haidou listened to his outburst, furtively glanced at Pei Yinnian's expression, and felt a bit uneasy inside.

How could it be that this Huaxia boss still had some scheme he hadn't used yet?

Sure enough, he's full of tricks!

Naturally, Zaoliang Haidou dared only to mutter this to himself, feeling a bit like he was planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Nobody took Weier's anger seriously.

"Mr. Weier, you don't need to worry further. Since we've let you come today, we certainly don't intend to let you leave completely unscathed—where does the talk of deliberate threats come from?"

Yun Cunxuan laughed heartily, clinked his cup with him, and regardless of whether Weier wanted it or not, said, "That little act just now was merely an appetizer."

"As of today, the garrison hasn't increased its troops by at least 200 as per the contract, and possesses illegally obtained weapons—are you saying we're wrong to be dissatisfied?"

Chu Jin didn't bother with much talk—after all, his family had been a line of military commanders, and now he oversaw several provinces as a warlord's scion; he truly didn't care about those foreigners who only dared to huddle in Beiping.

He had little patience to urge them on, so Pei Yinnian naturally didn't delay, and with considerable interest looked toward the back of the stage curtain.

Zaoliang Haidou followed anxiously, inexplicably gulped down a drink, and really had no idea what other schemes this Huaxia group could have.

He had thought it would be another deliberate warning like before, a show of force to knock them off their horses, but he never expected to see only a few people bound with their hands tied behind their backs, shoved onto the stage, and immediately made to kneel in a row.

A row of eight people, men and women, each face etched with defeat and despair, as if they couldn't bear the light and kept trying to hide.

Such a binding method was used in old times only for criminals who had committed offenses requiring immediate execution; it was a method Chu Wu deliberately provided, and he and Jin Chen quickly reached agreement on it.

Weier and Zaoliang Haidou's faces grew even uglier, their furrowed brows looking as miserable as if they'd drunk eight catties of soy sauce.

"Mr. Weier, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with these eight people." Pei Yinnian stared at them, his voice cold: "It really took you a lot of effort to plant these undercover agents in the Chamber of Commerce."

"They not only stole the secret contract of cooperation between the Beiping Chamber of Commerce and the Jiangning military, but also repeatedly harmed innocent civilians to avoid exposure."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a few seconds, as if savoring their shock and unwillingness.

In fact, when he learned of the undercover list that Jin Chen had "unintentionally" revealed, Pei Yinnian was equally surprised.

But outwardly, of course, they could only say it was discovered by the Chamber of Commerce; no matter how mysterious Jin Chen was, they wouldn't involve outsiders.

"You..." Weier had nothing left to say; no matter how much he argued, those people probably wouldn't believe him.

In his flustered state, Zaoliang Haidou beside him plopped down onto his knees.

"Mr. Pei! Young Marshal Chu! I've deeply realized my mistake! Please give me a chance!"

Weier: "..."

He closed his eyes in anger.

Pei Yinnian snorted: "You're really spineless."

"But unfortunately, this matter isn't up to me to decide."

Chu Jin's expression was cold, and he felt no warmth toward these traitors and foreigners.

He waved his hand and called over a few soldiers lurking in the shadows: "The final act—let's invite the two of you to watch something spectacular."

As soon as his words fell, the eight undercover agents who had deep ties with the garrison and had repeatedly leaked the Chamber of Commerce's secrets were shot dead all at once.

On the stage, blood flowed freely; a white silk sash appeared behind the eight corpses, locking them in place as they were hoisted high, fluttering in the wind, their unwilling eyes still staring.

It was as if the two people down below were staring at each other.

Zaoliang Haidou was about to faint from fright, but in the next second Chu Wu punched him awake, grabbed his head, and forced him to look.

Only then did Weier and Zaoliang Haidou notice that words were written on their clothes.

The writer Jin Chen had thoughtfully prepared both English and Japanese versions, fearing these two might be too scared to understand.

Those who offend Huaxia must die.

This scene was truly shocking, and Zaoliang Haidou felt like fainting again.

He trembled as he knelt, trying to preserve his life, but couldn't match Chu Wu's strength.

"You can't kill me! You can't kill me!" Weier shouted, "The garrison won't let you off! You bunch of fools!"

"Pah! My brother will be stationed in Beiping soon—what do I have to fear from a few nobodies like you!"

Chu Wu, having earned Chu Jin's approval, laughed loudly, grabbed the two struggling men, and flung them onto the stage: "Soon, Grandfather will toss your heads and all the evidence into the garrison—if those bastards still want to get by in Beiping, I'll make sure they don't dare to fart."
