The man in the black suit was very clever. He did not choose Jiang Chen as the target. Obviously, the protective shield could not be taken down easily. At this moment, their biggest threat was the two guards in kinetic skeletons.
Without any time to react, the spewing bullets instantly engulfed the two guards.
Go to hell!
The man in black roared in his mind.
But just as he thought he succeeded; his pupils suddenly contracted.
Something was wrong!
The bullet passed through the two guards as if they just hit thin air.
The man in black’s expression suddenly changed as he had a terrible feeling.
However, before he had time to react, two high-explosive grenades landed within his men.
The rumbling airwave instantly burst out and engulfed him and the nine people behind him in the flames of the explosion. Then there were a few short gunshots, and the people still alive were just about to return fire with their pistols when they were killed by bullets shot from both sides.
After the guards put away the rifle in their hands, they came from the nearby building.
As for the guards that were hit, they were nothing more than holographic images.
It was very easy to recognize the difference up close, but the attention of the assassins was focused on Jiang Chen, and it was not till they fired their first shot did they realize something was off.
However, it was already too late when they reacted.
Jiang Chen gestured to the two guards, then turned around and looked at Zhao Qiuran next to him on the bench.
“Is it over?”
Zhao Qiuran nodded stiffly, then looked to the black Rubik’s Cube on the bench before she gulped and asked.
“What is that?”
“The weapon of the civilized.”
“…” Zhao Qiuran wanted to ask ‘Can you speak in a language people can understand?’, but when she considered the difference in strength, she chose to remain silent.
Jiang Chen picked up the Rubik’s Cube on the bench, twisted it once, and then put it into his pocket. The faint yellow protective cover also disappeared.
After the two guards searched the men in black, they returned to Jiang Chen and reported.
“No identification was found.”
“No identification is required,” Jiang Chen said expressionlessly, “I know who sent them.”
Originally, when he was in the Dorsett Hotel, he had decided to not bother with Wan Peng. After all, he wore a camouflage necklace, and the person who was sent by Wan Peng to “negotiate” with him did not recognize him. However, since he took off the camouflage necklace, the assassins who had followed him for a few kilometers still had no plans to stop, and thus made the situation worth pondering over.
“What do you plan on doing with Wan Peng?” Zhao Qiuran asked.
“Let’s set Wan Peng aside, for now. He can’t run in Pingan Street, and I’ll let him pay when the time comes,” Jiang Chen said, then looked at the other side of the street, where the guards had fought with the Tiger Clan, “Before that, there is still a small problem we have to deal with first.”
Not far away, Lu Fan had returned with seventeen guards.
Except for some minor injuries, no one was seriously injured or killed.
Lu Fan stood in front of Jiang Chen. He respectfully made a military salute and then gestured to a brother behind him.
Soon, a guy tied up into a caterpillar was thrown onto the ground in front of Jiang Chen by the guard behind Lu Fan.
“What’s your name?” Jiang Chen, with a smile, asked the frightened man.
“Dong, Dong Lei…”
While Dong Lei anxiously responded, his thoughts turned quickly as he desperately searched for a way to escape. However, he had exhausted all the options he could think of and none would lead to his escape. He could only pray Jiang Chen would spare his life after he learned the intelligence he needed.
But was this even possible?
Dong Lei thought in his mind with despair.
“Do you know the way?” Jiang Chen smiled.
“What.. what do you mean?” Dong Lei gulped, and stuttered.
“Take me to meet your so-called Brother Tiger,” Jiang Chen replied.
Since Dong Lei did not respond, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and said with a sly look.
“Why? You’re unwilling?”
“Of course not, of course not” Dong Lei shook his head rapidly as he squeezed out a reluctant smile, then he said incoherently, ” Brother, no, daddy…one should pay one’s own debt, it’s all Brother Tiger’s fault, can you… if I take you to see Brother Tiger, can you spare my worthless life?”
Brotherhood? Loyalty?
Brotherhood was only something they talked about when they drank, ate or slept with women. As for the latter, they were raiders to begin with, when did loyalty ever matter?
When he rushed to Jiang Chen at the start, it was a desperate move to survive. Now that he admitted defeat, it was also an attempt to survive. As for his Brother Tiger, who cared about that idiot’s life! Since he turned NAC into an enemy, he was already considered dead, who would be loyal to a dead person?
Dong Lei just wanted to let Jiang Chen know everything he knew.
However, he was afraid that Jiang Chen would feed him with bullets after he told the truth.
“Are you negotiating with me?” Jiang Chen smiled at Dong Lei.
“No, I don’t dare.” Dong Lei said in a panic. His tightly roped body twitched as he kowtowed desperately on the concrete floor. He cried and begged, “Please forgive me, General.”
“I’ll give you three seconds. You only need to give me one response,” Jiang Chen, unmoved by the crying Dong Lei, said emotionlessly, “Yes, or no?”
…
At the office on the top floor of Dongcheng Hospital.
Tiger was comfortably in his chair while he raised his legs on to the table and squinted at the clear sky outside the window.
For some reason, he thought that the weather today was delightful, just like his mood.
It had been an hour since Dong Lei set off with his boys.
After a while, Dong Lei would probably be able to bring that person back.
The thought of this made a cruel smile appear on Tiger’s face, he subconsciously touched his unshaven face.
How can I torture that guy?
Whenever he thought about the shame at Hell Courier that night, he wanted to murder people to vent his anger.
“Tsk, this can’t work, it’s too nice of me to just kill him like this,” he drew the dagger from the table, held it in his hand, and played with it. Tiger looked out of the window and a bloodthirsty ray appeared in his eyes, then a sneer gradually formed, “I’ll have to cut him hundreds of times and torture him slowly.”
He was already debating how he should seek his revenge.
The revenge was not only for him but also for his bothers.
If anyone could draw two cats on his face without paying the price, then how could he be the big brother in the future?
At this moment, there was the sound of fast footsteps in the hallway.
The door was pushed open, and he saw his henchman at the door, panting and holding on to the door frame.
“You’re back?” Brother Tiger put his legs down and stood up impatiently.
But when he saw his little brother’s face, he noticed something was wrong.
His expression… doesn’t seem like that of excitement?
