Chapter 20: Another Murder.
Chapter 20: Another Murder.
"Does the advisor intend to stop this gang leader from taking revenge?" Yan Kun's expression was ugly, his gloomy eyes staring straight at the pale-faced scholar.
"Boss, please don't misunderstand."
The pale-faced scholar quickly explained, "That outsider was able to kill Third Master and several gang members all by himself; he must be a highly skilled martial artist."
If we act rashly, even if we can overwhelm and kill that outsider with our numbers, we will suffer heavy losses.
"Why don't we hand this matter over to the yamen (government office) and have them send their constables to arrest the outsider, and then have the yamen hand him over to us?"
If the constable succeeds, then everything will be fine;
If the yamen runners fail, then the outsider will also be guilty of murdering a government official.
In this way... without losing a single soldier, we can deal with that outsider. You can do whatever you want with him, Chief."
...
After listening to the advisor's words.
Yan Kun pondered for a moment, then had to admit that the other party was right.
He was able to develop the Jiaolong Gang into such a powerful force, so he was certainly not someone who would ignore advice. Since the advisor's words made sense, he would do as the other party said.
As long as I can avenge my brother, I don't care about the method of revenge.
"Very well, what the clerk says makes sense. Then I'll trouble you to make a trip to the yamen!"
Yan Kun immediately gave instructions to the clerk beside him.
Then he turned to his men and ordered, "Mobilize your forces and keep a close watch on that outsider. Don't let him get lost."
"Yes, Boss!"
The pale-faced scholar and the gang members clasped their hands in response.
.....
the other side.
Inside Dachang Money Exchange.
"We only have nine hundred taels of silver left in the counter. Please forgive us, esteemed guest. We can only exchange this amount today. Please come back in three days, and we will have enough to make up for it."
"Very well, then I'll exchange it for nine hundred taels." Bai Chen nodded slightly.
At this moment, Bai Chen was unaware that a conspiracy against him was quietly unfolding.
After a while.
The manager of the money shop came over with silver and scales.
The silver was weighed one by one, and only after the total amount of nine hundred taels was it handed over to Bai Chen.
Thanks!
Bai Chen clasped his hands together before putting the silver into the cloth bag he carried with him.
Leave the money exchange.
As soon as he was leading the horse, he noticed something was wrong; it seemed like there were several tails following behind him.
"Um?"
Bai Chen frowned slightly.
His perception has always been excellent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cross the Mexican-American border, which is known as the "death line."
You should know that of the people who went there in the same batch as him, at least four or five out of ten died.
"It's been two months already, and the pawnshop owner still hasn't given up?"
Bai Chen was somewhat displeased.
He assumed that it was two months ago, when he pawned glass beads at the pawnshop, that the shopkeeper had sent someone to follow him.
Forget it, getting back to the real world is more important; it's best not to cause any more trouble.
My thoughts are focused on this.
Bai Chen held the reins and walked quickly toward the direction of leaving the city.
Once he leaves Yong'an City, he can ride freely and find a secluded place to cross over.
"Oh no, this boy is going to leave the city."
Several spies who had been leisurely following behind Bai Chen changed their expressions drastically upon seeing Bai Chen's actions.
Two of the spies went back to report, while the rest continued to follow Bai Chen.
.....
The city gate of Yong'an City.
"stop!"
Tap~ Tap tap...
A large group of constables wearing uniforms embroidered with the character "捕" (meaning "to capture") blocked the city gate.
The person they stopped was a man with short hair, wearing training clothes, and leading a horse.
This person was none other than Bai Chen, who was planning to leave the city!
Bai Chen led his horse along, looking around curiously. Could it be that he had encountered some wanted criminal?
However, he was unaware that these constables were there to find him.
"Hey you, stop looking around! I'm talking to you! Listen up: you're involved in a murder case. Come with us to the yamen for questioning!"
The one who spoke was a tall and burly constable, whose attire was also different from that of ordinary constables.
Homicide?
Bai Chen looked bewildered.
Without the slightest hesitation, he removed the submachine gun from his chest and placed his finger on the trigger.
He would not hesitate to fire if the other party made the slightest move.
After completing this action, Bai Chen stopped and asked the head constable:
"What murder case? Could you tell me about it?"
"Don't ask any more questions, just come with us and you'll find out."
The constable remained expressionless and offered no explanation, only giving a wink to the two officers beside him. The two immediately understood and stepped forward.
Seeing this scene.
Bai Chen's heart sank.
It seems this situation cannot be resolved amicably.
Although he wasn't sure whether it was a misunderstanding or someone was plotting against him behind his back,
But in either case, he could not simply surrender and follow the other party to the so-called government office.
Just as he was about to unleash a massacre.
"Brother, I'm sorry, we were just following orders." One of the constables who stepped forward said apologetically.
That one sentence changed his inevitable fate of death.
The next moment!!
Da da da... da da da...
Flames shot from the muzzle.
Another constable who stepped forward was killed on the spot.
The constable who apologized was hit in both legs by submachine gun bullets and instantly collapsed to the ground.
After instantly taking care of the two constables.
Bai Chen did not stop; he aimed his submachine gun at the constable.
Of all these people, the constable is the most dangerous.
Because he sensed a martial arts level of pressure emanating from this constable.
The opponent is at least a martial artist at the Acquired Realm.
Da da da... da da da...
Bai Chen pulled the trigger and fired wildly at the constable.
Puff~ Puff...
"How could this be...?"
The constable's eyes narrowed sharply as he looked down at the numerous bloody holes in his body, his voice weakening considerably.
As a martial artist at the Acquired Realm, he clearly sensed that his vital energy was rapidly dissipating through his wounds, and his life force was slipping through his fingers like sand, impossible to grasp any longer.
but.
As a seasoned martial artist in the Acquired Realm, despite suffering a fatal injury, his survival instinct and adrenaline still allowed him to unleash astonishing power.
"what!"
With a roar, the head constable charged towards Bai Chen, braving the bullets.
Holy crap!
Bai Chen was startled.
Just then, the submachine gun ran out of bullets.
He could only frantically pull out the pistol from his waist and fire several shots at the charging constable.
bang bang bang~
Until a bullet hit his head…
The constable froze, his pupils dilated, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
...
From the constables surrounding Bai Chen to Bai Chen pulling the trigger to kill him, it seemed like so many actions were taken, but in reality, it was all over in an instant.
Seeing that several people had died in an instant, the surrounding people finally reacted and fled in terror.
"Ah~~~"
"Murder!"
"You...youkai!"
The sounds of panicked screams and cries filled the air.
While quickly changing magazines, Bai Chen cautiously looked around, wary of the other constables coming forward to ambush him.
In fact, he was overthinking it.
Those constables react much faster than ordinary people.
The moment the head constable fell, the constables scattered in a panic.
Even the two soldiers responsible for guarding the city have disappeared without a trace.
With a mere few taels of silver in salary, why risk your life?
"Great hero, spare my life!"
The only one still standing and alive was the constable who had apologized earlier.
His legs were crippled, leaving him no way to escape, and his face was filled with despair.
however.
The constable waited for a long time, only to find that he had not been killed.
When he mustered his courage and looked behind him, he discovered that the god of death had already ridden away.
"Phew~" The constable clutched his legs, his expression a mixture of pain and relief at surviving a close call.
