Chapter 124: Fierce Battle at the Meeting
Seeing that neither Zhang Yinuo nor I refuted, everyone thought we were truly a couple, so much so that everyone else's eyes were fixed on Zhang Yinuo and me, and their gazes weren't very friendly.
"Alright, let me introduce everyone. This is Brother Yang Yun, a very powerful expert. His girlfriend, I think everyone has seen her, Zhang Yinuo, Zhang Longtao's sister. Today at our gathering, basically people from the East, South, West, and North streets have all come. Although Zhang Longtao didn't come, at least his sister came, which counts as Dongjie having someone here. So, let's begin!" Huang Laohu took the lead.
Hearing Huang Laohu's words, everyone found their seats. San Mao, Zhang Yinuo, and I sat beside Huang Laohu. Honestly, this was my first time attending such a big meeting, and I was very uncomfortable. San Mao was unusually excited, while Zhang Yinuo was as calm as before, as if she had long been used to such scenes.
Huang Laohu then took the lead and said: "Everyone must know the Zhang family's ambition. I believe everyone has received the Zhang family's conditions and warnings. I wonder what everyone thinks should be done about this matter?"
After Huang Laohu finished speaking, he looked at everyone present, his expression cold.
Wu Di spoke first: "The Zhang family is truly wolf-hearted. Everyone must know their purpose, nothing more than wanting to annex us and then become the boss themselves. To put it nicely, they are discussing with us; to put it bluntly, they are threatening us. Once we truly agree to their conditions, and they manage us, I don't think I need to say what our end will be. Who is willing to easily give up the territory they've built over many years? I believe no one wants to, so I think we cannot submit to the Li family!"
After Wu Di finished speaking, many people started discussing. Some agreed, some opposed. The opposition was concentrated in front of my right. Huang Laohu explained to me that that was the boss of Dongjie, Liu Hengdao. Liu Hengdao often carried a knife on his back. This guy's sword skills were extraordinary, and his Wu Gong wasn't weak. However, this boss's reputation wasn't very good. I heard he became the boss by rebelling. This guy was a fence-sitter, someone who knew how to adapt to circumstances and could endure humiliation.
If Huang Laohu was right, Liu Hengdao couldn't be underestimated. Such a treacherous villain might stab you in the back for profit at any time. Even if we were on the same side now, who knew if he would stab us later? Besides, this guy had a criminal record, so we had to be on guard.
I was worried about these problems, and I believe everyone present knew them, so they were all very wary of Liu Hengdao.
"What does everyone think about Boss Wu's words?" Huang Laohu asked when he saw no one speaking.
Liu Hengdao was sitting in his chair, leaning back, crossing his legs, and said: "I think we shouldn't fight head-on. Everyone knows about the Li family's rise recently, and everyone must know about the Li family's experts. Just the experts I know of on the Li family's side are no fewer than ten, not counting those in the shadows. So, fighting head-on with our current strength is undoubtedly seeking death. I think we might as well endure for a while, temporarily agree to the Li family's conditions, and then discuss it later!"
"Liu Hengdao, stop it. If you want to surrender, go surrender yourself. Isn't that how you got to where you are today? You want to be a dog for others, but I don't!" A person beside Liu Hengdao stood up and shouted angrily.
Looking at that person's situation, he should be from Dongjie. We didn't expect someone from Dongjie to be the first to oppose Liu Hengdao. This was something none of us expected. It seemed Liu Hengdao's position in Dongjie wasn't very stable, but this was understandable. After all, how far could someone who relied on rebellion go?
"You're looking for death!" Liu Hengdao looked at this person and shouted angrily, then took out the long knife on his body and stabbed it directly into the stomach of the person who had just opposed him. I saw the other party look at Liu Hengdao in disbelief, spitting blood from his mouth.
Liu Hengdao didn't care at all, as if killing was a very ordinary thing. He pulled out the knife, and the person pointed at Liu Hengdao unwillingly, then fell to the ground and closed his eyes. Looking at the situation, he was probably already dead.
San Mao and I were shocked. Although we had seen many underworld scenes recently, seeing someone killed directly was rare, especially such a bloody one, which made me feel creepy. Liu Hengdao was indeed sinister to the extreme, treating even his own subordinates so cruelly, let alone others. I guess if you want to be friends with this guy, you have to be very careful.
"Boss Liu, you've gone a bit too far, haven't you? He followed you for a year or two, and you killed him just like that. Do you have any humanity left?" Wu Di looked at Liu Hengdao and shouted angrily.
"Humanity? What is that? I lost that long ago. I'll put my words here today: whoever disagrees with what I just said, this person is your end!" After saying this, Liu Hengdao slashed the conference table with his knife. The entire conference table shook violently, scaring everyone else.
"Liu Hengdao, what do you mean? You've already surrendered to the Li family, right? You've already become the Li family's dog?" Wu Di shouted angrily.
From Liu Hengdao's words just now, it was clear this guy had already turned to the Li family. Anyone with eyes could see it. At this moment, many people present showed fearful expressions. After all, they knew Liu Hengdao's ability; both his Wu Gong and marksmanship were very powerful.
"What dog? Don't say it so ugly, this is called 'a wise man submits to circumstances.' Boss Wu, I'm only not bothering with you because we've known each other for a while. Otherwise, just because of what you said, I would have already slashed you. But if you express your surrender now, I'll spare you, otherwise don't blame the knife in my hand for being heartless. The same goes for everyone else!" Liu Hengdao shouted angrily at everyone around.
"Liu Hengdao, your guts are quite big. Among the people present, except for the two you brought, where are your people? And you killed one yourself. Do you think just the two of you can deal with all of us?" Huang Laohu chuckled and looked at Liu Hengdao.
Liu Hengdao laughed when he heard Huang Laohu's words: "Of course it's impossible that I only brought two people today. You don't really think I only brought two people, do you? To tell you the truth, outside is full of my people, and there are many Li family experts. Bosses, do you think you still have a chance of winning?" ===== CHAPTER 125 =====
