Chapter 450: [358] Who’s in charge here, what I say goes! (4K seeking monthly pass and recomndations)_1
Having transford into a high-ranking mber of the Investigation Team, Pei Jinye didn’t feel out of place at all.
His life remained the sa, with a routine as the straight path between three points.
The only difference was he no longer had to clock in every day for work, which gave him a lot more freedom.
This was sothing that Zhou Ye and Brother Bi envied greatly.
That evening, the three of them gathered together to celebrate Pei Jinye’s promotion.
“I always said Old Pei was a real dragon among n, congratulations…” Zhou Ye shalessly lifted his cup of water, toasting with water instead of wine.
Brother Bi couldn’t bear to look.
While the three were talking and laughing, suddenly a commotion ca from downstairs outside the window, growing louder and louder.
Brother Bi, who was sitting near the window, reached out to open it and took a look outside, then suddenly froze: “Holy shit, aren’t those our guys from the Investigation Team?”
Zhou Ye quickly got up to take a look, “Old Pei, that looks like your friend.”
It was only then that Pei Jinye saw Gu Wutong at the corner of the street, hands over his head doing frog jumps.
“Chaotically.”
Pei Jinye braced himself on the window and leaped straight out from the second floor.
Gu Wutong had just stood up when he saw Pei Jinye descending from the sky, and his expression froze in surprise: “Old Pei?”
Pei Jinye scanned the alleyway, pulled him aside where there was no one around, and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on with you?”
In the morning, he had been full of vigor when he left, so how had he ended up like this by evening?
“It’s a long story…” Gu Wutong shook his head without saying much, only asking, “Did you bring any gear?”
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow and replied curtly, “Who’re we taking down?”
Just then, Brother Bi and Zhou Ye also ca looking.
Seeing that they were both present, Gu Wutong felt more confident.
“I’m taking down Old Qin Three on Shunhe Road,” Gu Wutong said with a dark expression.
Brother Bi and Zhou Ye looked at each other. Zhou Ye asked in a low voice, “The Qin family runs pretty much everything on Shunhe Road, can we at least ask what happened?”
Gu Wutong summarized the incident succinctly; after a long wait, he finally caught the opponent making a trade, catching them with both the person and the goods.
He had intended just to warn them, but Old Qin Three’s n were arrogant, and a fight broke out; he was no match for them on his own.
He had no choice but to “obediently” do frog jumps and leave.
“Has Old Qin Three lost his mind?” Brother Bi frowned.
Zhou Ye looked towards Pei Jinye, who simply said, “No need for all this talk, let’s do him in.”
“Count in,” Zhou Ye offered, raising his hand.
Seeing this, Brother Bi bowed his head and said, “I’ve got equipnt in the car, wait for to get it.”
Gu Wutong did not object.
Brother Bi went back to retrieve guns from the car.
Pei Jinye and Gu Wutong went unard, though after a mont’s thought, Gu Wutong decided to put on a bulletproof vest.
The four of them thus set off into the night, heading back through the alleys to find the playground.
…
On the second floor of a storefront on Shunhe Road.
A man with a scarred face, wearing a military overcoat and sitting in an antique wooden chair, was none other than Old Qin Three, ntioned by Gu Wutong.
At the mont, he frowned at several strong young n nearby who had been injured, not scolding them for their carelessness, but simply waved his hand and said, “Arrange for the brothers to move the goods in the warehouse, move them as soon as possible, and wait for the ti being.”
“Move? Brother Three, isn’t that an overreaction? That kid who didn’t know better just ca looking for trouble, and haven’t we already driven him away? Should we be afraid of him? Besides, the price of the stuff outside has tripled at least, and the whole Shunhe Road area is counting on us. If we cut supply now…”
The younger man across from him didn’t quite understand.
“Just do what I tell you, and don’t give lip,” Old Qin Three’s fingers traced the rim of his teacup.
He had a bad feeling in his gut.
The young man, seeing this, stopped arguing and could only reluctantly go out to tell the brothers to move the goods.
“Oh, and Dou Zi, have the brothers carry sothing to defend themselves with for the ti being,” Old Qin Three called out after him.
“Got it, Brother Three.”
Dou Zi pushed the door open and went downstairs, signaling to a bunch of brothers to start moving goods.
Just then.
“Bang bang!”
Suddenly, a few muffled shots rang out at the doorway.
Dou Zi, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, turned to look just as Gu Wutong, clad in a bulletproof vest, strode forward.
“You!” Dou Zi was startled.
“What ‘you’?”
“Bang!”
Gu Wutong cursed, lifted his foot, and kicked straight into Dou Zi’s chest.
Several n from inside the room imdiately rushed out, nacing and ferocious-looking thugs of Old Qin Three.
“Don’t move!”
“Everybody freeze!”
Brother Bi and Zhou Ye hurriedly raised their weapons, chambered a round and shouted loudly.
anwhile, Dou Zi had already been slamd hard against the cupboard behind him, shattering the patterned glass with a crisp sound.
Old Qin Three had not expected Gu Wutong to dare co back.
What he was even less prepared for was that the opponent would turn up with just four n, boldly trashing Brother Three’s place.
But by then, he was already confounded.
Before he could speak,
suddenly, he saw a slim figure in a black trench coat co in through the door, and pull down the rolling shutter at the entrance.
“First capture the king, where is he?”
Gu Wutong imdiately led the way.
Inside a second-floor office.
Old Qin Three’s desk phone rang, he reached for it, and a terrified shriek ca through, “Brother Three, it’s bad, they’re storming—snap!”
The call was cut off.
Old Qin Three’s complexion changed slightly, and he yanked open a drawer, reaching to grab a gun.
The door was suddenly breached from the outside at that mont.
Old Qin Three’s first sight wasn’t Gu Wutong, but the man standing behind Gu Wutong.
Upon making eye contact, he imdiately sensed trouble.
He rushed for the gun.
“Snap.”
A pill shot swiftly like lightning hit his arm; he didn’t reach his gun, instead, Old Qin Three emitted a scream as a surge of force hit him, tumbling him out of his chair.
