Chapter 227

I took Xu Hongzhi to Zhang Longtao's turf that night. Zhang Longtao had already made arrangements, so no one stopped us along the way. The two of us walked straight to Zhang Longtao's room.

Zhang Longtao looked at the two of us and said with a smile, "You two really have guts, actually coming here to my place so unscrupulously. You're very bold, aren't you afraid that I'll just wipe you out right now!"

"Hehe, what is Boss Zhang saying? I believe Boss Zhang wouldn't be such an unreasonable person!" Xu Hongzhi smiled, not worried at all about the current situation.

Zhang Longtao looked at Xu Hongzhi with disdain and said, "Boss Xu has indeed been doing quite well recently; his way of speaking is different. But his character is a bit lacking, and I wonder if some people know that!"

When Zhang Longtao spoke, he deliberately looked at me. It was clearly meant to mock me. It seems Zhang Longtao had also heard about Xu Hongzhi's previous affairs.

"Boss Zhang, food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken indiscriminately. The main reason for coming today is because my brother, Fourth, has something to ask you, not for the two of us to compete, so don't make things so stiff!" In the blink of an eye, Xu Hongzhi pointed the spearhead at me.

"Fine, Yang Yun, speak. What exactly did you come to find me for?" Zhang Longtao asked coldly.

"You couldn't possibly not know the reason I came. Besides that matter from before, what else do you think we could have to talk about!" I gritted my teeth and glared at Zhang Longtao, my eyes filled with hatred.

Seeing my reaction, Zhang Longtao smiled and said indifferently, "I already told you before, is there any need to ask about this and that? If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"

"Fine, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Zhang Longtao, I ask you, is Su Xueyan still alive!" Previously, Xu Hongzhi said he found Su Xueyan here at Zhang Longtao's place. I didn't care whether Xu Hongzhi was lying to me or not, I just asked. After all, having hope is better than having no hope.

Hearing my words, Zhang Longtao was startled, and then he shouted angrily at the two of us, "Are you crazy? How could that bitch still be alive? You were the ones who brought the body back, and now you come to ask me? Are you sick?"

Seeing Zhang Longtao's unusually excited reaction, I suddenly became suspicious. Looking at this guy's reaction, there was likely something fishy about this matter. Could Su Xueyan really be alive? If that were the case, it would be too outrageous.

"Zhang Longtao, stop pretending. I saw someone at your place two days ago. How long are you going to keep pretending!" Xu Hongzhi began to question Zhang Longtao.

"Perhaps you saw wrong. Boss Xu has been busy lately, under great mental pressure, and having hallucinations is a very normal thing!" Zhang Longtao looked at Xu Hongzhi with a gloomy face, and his expression was even more sinister and terrifying than when he looked at me before.

"Boss Zhang is joking. I definitely wouldn't have seen wrong. And Boss Zhang, haven't you understood today? We came here today to ask you for the person. You have to give her up, whether you want to or not!" Xu Hongzhi said such things, which truly surprised me. I hadn't prepared to make things this stiff. After all, this was someone else's turf, and even if we could take action, we wouldn't get any advantage. I knew the principle that a strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake. This didn't seem like something Xu Hongzhi could do. What was his purpose in doing this?

"Yo, threatening me? Do you really think I, Zhang Longtao, am a vegetarian? Saying such things on my turf, do you believe I can make it so you can't leave here today!" Zhang Longtao's face couldn't hold it anymore. When had he ever been threatened like this?

"Hehe, do you really think you are still the Boss Zhang of the past? Calling you Boss Zhang is giving you face. Don't take yourself too seriously. Let me tell you, I've long been annoyed with you. It just so happens that today, you can go to your death!"

After finishing, Xu Hongzhi wanted to take action directly. Seeing this scene, I was speechless. How did it end up in a fight? We originally just wanted to ask about something, but it turned into this. I hurriedly tried to persuade Xu Hongzhi, "Third Brother, Third Brother, forget it. After all, this is someone else's turf, let's not be too impulsive!"

"Forget it? Why should we forget it? And didn't you, Fourth, start this matter? How can we forget it now? I am helping you. We will just grab him and beat him up. I don't believe this guy won't talk!"

Seeing Xu Hongzhi say this, I suddenly seemed to understand something. This guy wanted to shift the blame for this matter onto me. It's just that I didn't understand the significance of him doing this. Whether I took the blame or not didn't seem to have any meaning.

"Damn it, you are looking for death!" Zhang Longtao rushed over to take action against us.

Xu Hongzhi, who was next to me, didn't say a word and went straight to meet him, fighting with Zhang Longtao. What surprised me was that Xu Hongzhi had become exceptionally powerful, much more so than before. Could it be that this guy had some kind of fortuitous encounter? However, Zhang Longtao was more experienced than us after all, and his strength was exceptionally strong. Xu Hongzhi was no match at all and was soon retreating steadily. Xu Hongzhi looked at me angrily and said, "What are you looking at? Why aren't you taking action yet!"

Seeing this scene, I had to intervene. I hurriedly blocked Zhang Longtao's attack and then countered with a palm strike. However, what I didn't expect was that this palm strike actually made Zhang Longtao vomit blood. First of all, I didn't use much force, and secondly, Zhang Longtao's strength was mostly similar to mine, so it was impossible for him to vomit blood from this palm strike.

Zhang Longtao's face was pale, and he looked at us in disbelief, saying unwillingly, "How can this be? How is this possible? When did you poison me, who?"

Xu Hongzhi smiled and looked at Zhang Longtao, saying, "This is all thanks to Fourth. How does it feel to be betrayed by someone close to you?"

Zhang Longtao was so angry that he cursed directly, "Shameless!"

"This, it wasn't me!" I hurriedly said.

Before I could finish, Zhang Longtao rushed over angrily to hit me. I blocked in a panic, but in Zhang Longtao's current state, he was no match for me at all. Zhang Longtao was directly injured by me again.

"Brother!" Suddenly, a female voice next to me made me jump.

The person who shouted was none other than Zhang Yinuo. Zhang Yinuo ran in quickly, helped Zhang Longtao up from the ground, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, how are you? Brother!"

Zhang Longtao struggled to climb up, feeling extremely weak. He kept vomiting blood and said with a smile, "That's great, you finally called me brother!"

However, Xu Hongzhi, who was next to me, suddenly changed his face and shouted at me, "Fourth, how could you use such a heavy hand!"
