Chapter 169

And there was only one purpose!

That was to force Gao Qiqiang to agree to his joining!

And that sentence "not as important as my brother!"

Further explained Gao Qisheng's motivation for doing all this!

That is to help Gao Qiqiang!

And up to this point!

Gao Qiqiang has gained another helper in his confrontation with Xu Jiang!

[Holy crap, it was actually Gao Qisheng who planned the arson?!]

[Too ruthless...]

[Just to get Gao Qiqiang to agree to join the gang!]

[These Gao brothers, every single one of them! They are not simple at all!!]

[They are both masterminds!!]

[For his brother, what is a small Little Smart shop!]

[But he is truly ruthless!]

Countless viewers, while surprised,

were also moved by the depth of Gao Qisheng’s feelings for Gao Qiqiang!

He would rather destroy the Little Smart shop he had staked everything on just to help his brother!

And as the plot progressed,

Gao Qiqiang also discovered the homemade pistol Gao Qisheng had made at home.

Although angry, he reluctantly agreed to Gao Qisheng’s involvement.

But the subsequent plot left the viewers full of question marks.

When Xu Jiang killed Bai Jiangbo, he spared his wife and child.

As it turns out, Bai Jiangbo’s wife, Chen Shuting, who had fled to another city, had now agreed to cooperate with the police, and she likely held evidence of Xu Jiang’s crimes!

Guarded strictly by the police, Xu Jiang had no choice but to find Gao Qiqiang to seek cooperation!

With Gao Qisheng’s planning!

Xu Jiang successfully evaded the police tailing him!

And successfully met Gao Qiqiang on the ferry for a secret talk!

Watching Gao Qiqiang park his motorcycle next to his car,

Xu Jiang couldn't help but grumble.

"Born to be a secret agent, picking a place like this."

"Say what you have to say."

Gao Qiqiang went straight to the point, while vigilantly observing the situation on the ferry through his rearview mirror.

Xu Jiang didn't waste words either.

"I'm in big trouble. The boss who hired you to kill my son has been killed by me..."

"It’s my fault for being foolish for a moment and sparing his wife and child."

"Now the police have found them and are bringing them back to Jingcheng."

"If they return to Jingcheng, you won't be able to stay out of it either."

Listening to what Xu Jiang said,

Gao Qiqiang took a deep breath, his brow furrowing even tighter.

This matter was becoming increasingly complex.

He asked,

"What do you want?"

Xu Jiang took a note out of his bag and handed it to Gao Qiqiang.

"The police are preparing to send that woman back. The specific situation is written clearly: how they are traveling, what vehicle they are taking, where they are getting off, and which route they are taking."

"I don't care what method you use, Chen Shuting must not return to Jingcheng alive!"

Countless viewers were shocked.

Xu Jiang actually wanted Gao Qiqiang to kill for him! This was a real, serious murder!

But upon hearing Xu Jiang’s demand to deal with Chen Shuting, Gao Qiqiang showed no surprise and put the note into his pocket.

The business was clear; now it was time to talk terms.

"If I help you, are we square?!"

Suddenly, Gao Qiqiang’s greed made Xu Jiang laugh, and he sighed self-deprecatingly,

"I never thought I, Xu Jiang, would be doing business with someone like you."

"Fine. Once it's done, Tang Xiaohu is yours."

"If you want to settle the account, bring the item."

Clearly, the item referred to the evidence of Huang Cuicui that Gao Qiqiang held!

"If I give you the item, what if you go back on your word?"

His calm tone made it clear he had no intention of handing over the evidence.

Xu Jiang took a deep breath.

"You can save your life, but I advise you not to make a backup of that recording!"

"Otherwise, for every copy you make, I will take a life from you!"

His tone was filled with murderous intent; the threat was self-evident.

But Gao Qiqiang’s aura did not fall behind at all! He replied just as toughly,

"Xu Jiang, I’m warning you!"

"If you dare to commit arson again! Watch out, I’ll burn your whole family!"

Hearing Gao Qiqiang’s inexplicable words,

Xu Jiang was completely dumbfounded.

Arson? What arson?

But the next second, the sound of the ferry approaching the dock interrupted their conversation.

As the car windows rolled up,

it signaled the official start of this deal!

For the sake of Tang Xiaohu, Gao Qiqiang agreed to Xu Jiang’s terms.

And the unexpected bonus was:

He had tricked another piece of information out of Xu Jiang’s mouth!

What Huang Cuicui held was a recording!

And the scene of these two reaching a cooperation

made countless viewers feel incredibly absurd!

The two sides clearly had a mortal feud!

Yet they had reached a consensus and cooperation!?

[There really are no eternal enemies...]

[They actually reached a cooperation??]

[Xu Jiang has so many tricks... he actually obtained Chen Shuting’s escort information?!]

[What kind of backing does he have in the police force?? He can even get this???]

[Gao Qiqiang isn't really going to kill someone, right?! That's against the law!!]

[Is there any law he hasn't broken yet... just the act of hiring a hitman is hard to wash clean!!]

[Hahaha, Xu Jiang is dumbfounded, who burned you??]

And as the plot developed!

Gao Qiqiang actually launched an interception operation against Chen Shuting with Tang Xiaolong!

But unexpectedly!

Although Gao Qiqiang intercepted the police transport vehicle on the road according to Xu Jiang’s information,

there was only An Xin sitting in the car!

Stopping Tang Xiaolong, who was red-eyed and wanted to kill An Xin to silence him,

the two of them hurriedly left the scene.

Although the interception failed!

Because of this attempt, the leak of location information made Chen Shuting confirm once again that there was a mole in the police force! She no longer trusted the police and temporarily did not hand over the most important intelligence!

And Chen Shuting’s wisdom and alertness

attracted the attention and admiration of countless viewers!

This Chen Shuting... how does she look so much smarter than Bai Jiangbo?

On the other side.

Because the interception failed, Xu Jiang was forced to humble himself and beg Uncle Tai for help, and after being rejected, he could only find Gao Qiqiang again to conspire.

As soon as he walked into the private room at Baijinhan,

Xu Jiang, having been rebuffed, angrily threw a wine bottle at Gao Qiqiang.

The latter dodged the bottle and pointed directly at Xu Jiang, scolding,

"What kind of crazy act are you putting on! If you call me here, talk properly! If you go crazy again, I’m leaving immediately!"

"Who’s fault is it?! If you had handled that woman, would I be here begging people now?!"

Xu Jiang retorted angrily.

Clearly, the wall he hit at Uncle Tai’s place made Xu Jiang very embarrassed and angry!

And at this,

Gao Qiqiang’s anger flared up even more.

"Didn't I go there as you said?! Was Chen Shuting there?!"

"Who gave me the information?!"

Gao Qiqiang pointed at Xu Jiang’s nose and cursed.

And the latter, although full of rage and very angry, could find no reason to refute.

His momentum immediately weakened by thirty percent.

After all, Xu Jiang was the one in the wrong.

Giving wrong information and demanding the interception of Chen Shuting was truly asking too much!

Lowering his head to calm his mood, Xu Jiang admitted his mistake.

"Yeah, I know she switched to the train."

"Also, don't ask who gave me the information; talk too much."

At this moment,

the two, having vented their anger, rarely sat down together calmly.

Gao Qiqiang patted Xu Jiang’s arm.

"I was afraid you were being played! What if the police opened a trap for you to walk into! Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Unless he doesn't want to get promoted."

Xu Jiang waved his hand and then took out another note.

"Chen Shuting's address, and the school her child attends."

"Is this one real?"

Gao Qiqiang looked at the note and couldn't help but question it again.

Xu Jiang was also somewhat helpless.

"My mole said Chen Shuting doesn't trust the police yet, so she hasn't said anything."

"Then is there police watching her at this place?"

"What do you think? Could there not be police watching her??"

"If there are police watching her, you still want me to go kill her? You want me to go to my death??"

Saying this,

Gao Qiqiang slapped the note on the table and stood up to walk toward the door.

But Xu Jiang’s voice followed.

"Little Gao, haven't you figured out the situation yet?"

"Once Chen Shuting cooperates with the police, my way of life is gone."

"But before I die, I will definitely drag your whole family down with me."

Suddenly, Gao Qiqiang’s face sank, and he took a deep breath.

Xu Jiang reached out and began to count.

"You."

"Your younger brother."

"Your younger sister who is in college out of town."

"She looks pretty good..."

But halfway through!

Gao Qiqiang turned around in a rage, grabbed the ashtray on the coffee table, and smashed it heavily onto Xu Jiang’s head!

"Try touching them and see what happens?!"

"If you dare to touch them, I’ll kill your whole family!!"

In an instant!

Every viewer’s heart skipped a beat!

Staring dumbfounded at Gao Qiqiang’s sudden outburst!

And Xu Jiang’s face was written with disbelief!

Looking up at Gao Qiqiang and touching his head, he seemed to react.

He had actually been head-shot by Gao Qiqiang with an ashtray?!

Suddenly, Xu Jiang lowered his head without a word and unbuckled his watch.

Then he stood up, grabbed a wine bottle, and smashed it on Gao Qiqiang’s head!

Under the crisp sound of shattering!

Glass shards scattered all over the floor!

As if not satisfied!

Xu Jiang picked up another bottle and smashed it on Gao Qiqiang’s head!

In an instant!

The floor and sofa in the private room were full of glass shards!

And after the two had smashed each other,

they both seemed to calm down slightly.

They sat back down on the sofa.

One fixing his watch, the other tidying his clothes.

Xu Jiang continued,

"Talk about Chen Shuting’s matter. You handle Chen Shuting and leave Jingcheng."

"As for me, I’ll let the others go, and the matter of Leilei will be settled."

"Don't make me go back on my word!"
