“I was really wrong, he’s not one of Liu Rong’s men.” I clenched my fist, a face I couldn’t forget, this was the Thai a*sa*sin Chen Ruhai had once hired to kill me.
This man, he was sent by Chen Yu Zhou!
D*mn, this father and son, they were at my place in the afternoon pretending to apologise for reconciliation, and then at night they hired a killer to kill me. No, maybe he didn’t even want a real reconciliation, it was just a trick for them to get me to let my guard down and then find someone to kill me ……
As soon as that Thai killer hit the sampan, it was immediately swept away by the waves, never to be seen again, he really wasn’t lucky just now ……
The Thai killer bowed to me with his hands together, and without any unnecessary nonsense, he raised his fist and came at me.
I didn’t dodge, I couldn’t dodge at all in this situation, I had no other choice but to meet the attack!
He used his fist and I used mine. We both took a few slow steps and then ran wildly at the same time, our fists collided right in the air with a dull thud. The guy wasn’t much better, the corners of his mouth and cheeks twitching from the pain.
“You hid your strength last time.” I said.
At the same time, he actually said the same thing in Thai: “You hid your strength last time.”
Neither of us dared to just throw the punch.
This guy didn’t dare to take it lightly because he wasn’t sure if I was holding back, and I didn’t dare to make a move, because if I got hurt, I was afraid that Old Gump wouldn’t be able to run alive in this weather to a small hotel where he could keep the weather out.
We just stood there in the rain, sizing each other up for two minutes before I said in Thai, “How much did Chen Ruhai pay you, I’ll pay double.”
“Your people, they like to talk about money too much, it’s not about money.” He refused dryly, “Your lives, I must take them today.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he actually ran directly towards Old Gan, who had no time to react? He took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground. This guy was so fast that when I reacted to stop him, I was already a step too late.
At the same time, some heavy elbows hit me in the back without hesitation, and I spat out a mouthful of blood and took a few knees to the stomach.
“Young master!” Lao Gan yelled tearing his heart out as he ran towards me.
I covered my stomach and stumbled, but didn’t fall down, yelling, “Stop right there!”
The Thai a*sa*sin rubbed his fist and looked at me like a hunter looking at his prey.
“You F**king villain.” I said with difficulty.
He’d deliberately done it to Lao Gan first, tricked me into saving him, and then turned on me. Even if I could see through what he was up to, there was no way I could leave Old Gump alone.
He laughed and worshipped me with his hands together again, not caring at all how I scolded him.
Then he pulled a pistol out of his pocket, pointed it at my forehead, C*cked his head, and said in broken Chinese, “This time, the gun, no one can snatch it off for you, you, are dead. Goodbye.”
My heart sank downwards, I didn’t think I would die in a place like this when I was fine in the battlefield with gunfire.
This killer was experienced and didn’t have a pistol pressed against my head; if it was that distance, I was confident I could unload his gun. If it was too far away, the pistol would have become less accurate, especially on a windy and rainy day like this, and I was confident I could run away.
But he wasn’t standing far or close, and at this distance, there was nothing I could do.
My mind raced, thinking about what to do in this situation; a little more delay would give me a better chance of escape.
“My country is a gun ban country, you’ve already had one gun seized from me, how can you get another.”
I don’t know why, at this point in time, that was the phrase that popped out.
Originally, the chief had also instructed me to investigate the gun smuggling case, but I had been busy with other things, and this matter was still being investigated by Xiao Cai now.
Both he and Lao Gan were stunned, probably neither of them could have imagined how I could suddenly ask this question when I was on the verge of death.
“Oh, you’re not concerned about your own death?”
I laughed bitterly, “Would you let me go if I begged you to? You’re a hired killer, you’re just in it for the money. I said I’d pay you double, you should know who I am by now, you’ve been following me these days, you know very well what’s happening to me, I can afford to pay.”
He laughed and didn’t retort, and I understood at once. Sure enough, the Chen family had never wanted to reconcile with me, and that play this afternoon was just an act for me to watch, just to make me let my guard down so that I could be killed in one breath.
My eyes were red, I had no quarrel with these two fathers, and as long as I didn’t die today, I would make these two fathers pay!
After I had calmed down for a moment, I said, “I’m going to die anyway, so consider me curious.”
“What kind of tricks are you trying to pull? I brought it over from Thailand.”
“I’m dying, and you won’t tell me the truth, won’t you check it through customs? The gun is a local get, right?”
“I don’t know exactly what you want, but I know you’re a cunning man. You’re a fox and I can’t tell you anything.”
I laughed, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t say anything. When I die, Junran must find my corpse even if he digs up the city of Tong. This is a homemade gun of yours, not a standard firearm, and the firepower won’t be too heavy. The bullet won’t penetrate my skull, odds are this stays in the brain. The gun case has always been a big case in our country, no matter how many people Chen Yu Zhou’s family has in the Public Security Bureau, this case can’t be hidden, it will definitely go to the Public Security Department. You will definitely be uprooted.”
The expression on his face didn’t change, but his eyes had wavered.
I continued, “You should consider a different way to kill me, or you won’t be able to escape.”
The corners of his mouth twitched for a moment, then he actually smiled.
“I’ve always wondered what a fox like you would use to save yourself. Wonderful, indeed, a good way. You’re not afraid of me, you’re only afraid of guns. As long as I don’t use a gun, you have a way of escape.”
He waved the gun and said with a smirk, “But I don’t care. This gun won’t be traced to me. I bought it from your own people, and by the time your people get to them, I’ll be out of here.”
He aimed the gun at my brow once more, mouthed at me to say goodbye, and then pulled the trigger with his index finger.
I subconsciously closed my eyes, thinking I was dead, and just then, Old Gump exploded out of nowhere and actually ran wildly in front of me.
The moment I closed my eyes, I saw Old Gump’s figure appear just in time, my heart thumped and I shouted no!
At that moment, the whole world fell into an eerie silence, and everything seemed to stand still except for the roaring sea breeze and waves.
The gunshots did not go off.
Then the pistol slipped out of the Thai killer’s hand, muzzle down, and plunged into the sand. I held Old Gump up to make sure he had no wounds, no injuries.
