“You try to see if I’m afraid. You’re a f*cking dog, before Zhang Chao died you hugged Zhang Chao’s thighs, after Zhang Chao died you hugged your Qi Bureau’s thighs again. Don’t you get close to me.” Zhao Zichen said without mercy.
Xia Gehuai’s face was darkened by his words, but he had no choice but to sneer, “You are not afraid, are your brothers in the Red Lantern Club afraid? Fine, I am a dog, as the saying goes, even if you beat a dog, you have to look at the master, you don’t even give face to Qi Bureau?”
He was very clever and cross in everything, but he really had nothing to say to his brothers in the Red Lantern Club.
He gritted his teeth and lowered his gun, glaring at Xia Ge Huai: “You have guts, we’ll see.”
Xia Ge Huai said to Chu Xiaoxiao, “Put down your gun too, or you won’t be able to leave. Chu Xiaoxia, don’t do anything stupid, we are at least cla*smates, listen to me.”
Chu Xiaoxiao cried like a tearful man, “Xia Gehuai, are you crazy? Didn’t you hear him say that Zhang Chao is dead and he killed him? You used to be so close to Zhang Chao, why don’t you take revenge for him!”
Xia Ge Huai was just acting, in fact he was panicking inside, he was not sure if I was really dead or not, and in order to protect himself, it was impossible for him to tear off his disguise now.
“People can’t come back from the dead, and Zhang Chao isn’t really a good man, so you should feel sorry for yourself and find a better one.”
Chu Xiaoxiao was really dumbfounded, she couldn’t figure out how everyone had betrayed me after just one night, all her friends had torn off their masks and revealed their dark and ugly sides.
Chu Xiaoxiao laughed in anger, dropping tears while laughing, which was heartbreaking to hear.
“I get it, you’re all in it together. Isn’t Zhang Chao very smart, how could he not see through you all, you bunch of shameless people, go to hell, all of you together.”
Chu Xiaoxiao was so heartbroken that she suddenly turned her gun and pointed it at Zhao Zichen and Xia Gehuai, who were startled.
I took an arrow step forward, hugged Chu Xiaoxiao, grabbed her small hand and raised the gun to the ceiling, the bullets discharged at the same time, blowing out the chandelier on the ceiling.
At the same time, Zhao Zichen did not hesitate at all and shot over. If I had not rolled with Chu Xiaoxiao in my arms, we would definitely have been injured.
Shi Sheng picked up a life in the panic and rolled and crawled to the back of Xia Ge Huai, with a few of his minions holding him up.
I found a table to use as cover. We all had guns, but the lights overhead were out, so no one dared to fire rashly.
“You hand over Chu Xiaoxiao and mind your own business, and I’ll let you go.” Zhao Zichen said.
I was so angry that my head was smoking and I fired a shot in the direction Zhao Zichen was talking, but it was a random shot, not aimed, and it didn’t hit him.
Zhao Zichen was not trained as a special forces soldier, nor was Baldy, and they could both only roughly hear my direction, but could not pinpoint them as precisely as I could.
I said aloud, “Hahahaha, I have to meddle in this nonsense today? Anyway, I have a lousy life, but I think your fight is worth a lot of money, so let’s make a big deal out of it and see what happens in the end.”
I deliberately said my surname was Ji, but it was just a slip of the tongue, because my mother’s surname was Ji, and I didn’t think of it in any other way.
Baldy knew who I was, and I was just trying to fool Zhao Zichen and Shi Sheng so they wouldn’t recognise me.
The shot I missed just now was also to give face to Baldy and tell him that I didn’t kill Zhao Zichen for his sake. Baldy knows my strength and will definitely understand my intention.
But just as I finished speaking, Baldy, who had been silent, surprisingly asked in the darkness, “What did you say your surname was?”
I thought to myself, “This kid is stupid, he knows who I am, I made up my surname, why is he asking this?
I shot a random shot in Baldy’s direction as well and said, “Your grandfather’s surname.”
Baldy’s voice didn’t change as he asked, “This big brother, are you a member of the Ji family? There is only one Ji family in the Jianghu.”
I immediately understood why this kid was knowingly asking, he wanted to bluff and scare people.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Zhao Zichen immediately exclaimed in a low voice, “What, a member of the Ji family? No way.”
Shi Sheng, not knowing the situation in the jianghu, asked, “Damn it, whatever his surname is chicken or pig or dog, beat him to death.”
Zhao Zichen gritted his teeth and said, “No, we can’t touch him. This is the rule of the jianghu, or we’ll all be in danger of extinction.”
Zhao Zichen’s tone was so serious that it made even Shi Sheng flinch.
Zhao Zichen did not know that this man was me, nor did he know that Baldy was acting in tandem with me, and his voice was a little panicked all of a sudden.
Shi Sheng, a man without a brain, cut out, “Why can’t you move? Is his brain made of bulletproof gla*s?”
“You don’t understand the rules of the jianghu. There are nine major families in the Jianghu, and after the Yin family fell decades ago, the Ji family became the largest family in the Jianghu. The Ji family is the most prosperous family in the Jianghu both in terms of wealth and power, no one dares to touch anyone from the Ji family. If they touched anyone of the Ji family name, they would surely die a miserable death. But the Ji family had retired to the mountains more than ten years ago, so how could they come out again. Baldy, did you hear correctly?”
I said aloud, “So there are still people in the jianghu who know what they are doing, I originally thought that no one in the jianghu remembered my Ji family anymore.”
Zhang Mei said in the darkness, “Master Zhao, don’t scare people, when Ji Yanran died, did anyone avenge her death?”
I was shocked, could it be that my aunt knew from the very beginning that this was not an ordinary car accident? Why else would she say that.
Zhao Zichen said, “Oh, why would you fake it as a car accident again if you weren’t afraid of being avenged? The Ji family has a rule that suspects are not killed. The big families in the jianghu take the rules very seriously, just like the Yue family motto in the jianghu is to be decent and not to lie. And the Yin family’s family motto is not to gamble and not to use drugs. Jianghu is very heavy on sect rules, so if he is really a member of the Ji family, we can’t touch him.”
Zhao Zichen and the others thought their voices were low, but in fact I could hear them all clearly.
Shi Sheng taunted, “You just don’t dare.”
Zhao Zichen was silent for a moment and said, “I just don’t dare, you dare you come. No one dares to offend the Ji family.”
This time it was awkward, when Zhao Zichen said this, people at the scene who didn’t know much about the jianghu were a bit scared at this time, making Shi Sheng unable to get off the stage.
Shi Sheng could only say sarcastically, “Elder brother Zhao, are you thinking too much? What if he’s not that Ji family?”
Zhao Zichen gave a hmmm and said, “Baldy, ask him.”
Baldy asked, “The Ji family has been in seclusion for many years, how did you come here?”
I really didn’t know much about the Ji family, but since the Ji family had been living in seclusion for so many years anyway, I didn’t believe they could know more than me, and besides, I still had at least half of the Ji family’s blood flowing through me.
I laughed: “The one over there is called Zhao Zichen, your surname is Zhao and you know so much about the jianghu, so you must be from the Zhao family of the Nine Clans. I’m here to retrieve a painting that my Ji family elders strayed into the jianghu, so I don’t need to go into details.”
I heard Zhao Zichen draw a breath of cold air backwards and asked in astonishment, “Mount No Thought?”
Baldy hurriedly compiled along with my words, “Brother, you go your yangguan path, it has nothing to do with us, you should not get involved in this mess.”
