Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Prepared for Arrival

Wang Hao had no idea what Da Xing had said to these people to persuade them to follow him again, but from his words, Wang Hao firmly believed that Da Xing must know the current condition of Akun.

"Da Xing, how do you know that Akun won’t ever be able to stand again? Who told you?"

Wang Hao stared at Da Xing with a deadly glare in his eyes.

"I..."

Seeing the ferocity in Wang Hao’s gaze, Da Xing suddenly became frightened.

He hadn’t expected that the look in a farmer’s eyes could be so sharp, and quickly shut his eyes and shook his head before reopening them, trying to dispel his own fear.

"Cut the crap here. Just say whether you agree to my previous terms or not. If you don’t agree, none of you will leave here today."

Wang Hao snorted coldly after hearing this and didn’t respond.

The lackeys behind Da Xing saw that they now had a complete advantage, already holding knives and eager to act.

"Da Xing, right now, in the whole Chicheng County, only Qi Shihan, Qi Qi, and the murderer know Akun’s exact injuries."

"I couldn’t figure out who had told you before, but now seeing how anxious you are to claim everything of Akun’s, I understand."

Wang Hao said with a look of sudden realization.

"You know what?"

Da Xing was taken aback after hearing this, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind Wang Hao’s words.

"I’ve already said that only Qi Shihan, Qi Qi, and the person who injured Akun know his exact condition. Since neither Qi Shihan nor Qi Qi has mentioned it, then the only one who knows is the murderer. Hence, you are the one who hurt Akun!"

Wang Hao suddenly shouted, causing a shock throughout the crowd.

"You... you’re slandering me! Akun and I grew up together like brothers, as close as limbs, how could I do such an inhumane thing!"

Da Xing, livid with rage, with bloodshot eyes, pointed at Wang Hao and counterattacked.

"I think you’re the murderer. You want to replace Akun, but you’re worried the brothers won’t be convinced, so you frame me for injuring Akun to take us all down in one fell swoop!"

Da Xing spoke with conviction, and the lackeys who were grateful to Akun found his argument persuasive, and turned their gaze toward Wang Hao together.

"Alright, I get that you can accuse me of wanting to harm Akun, but would Qi Qi harm Brother Kun?"

Wang Hao challenged Da Xing.

The lackeys thought Wang Hao made sense, too. Even if Wang Hao would hurt Akun, Qi Qi definitely wouldn’t.

Qi Qi had always been the one attending to Brother Kun. If Wang Hao had wanted to harm Brother Kun, Qi Qi would not have allowed him to come here.

"Who the hell knows what kind of bewitchment you’ve used on Qi Qi, making him also listen to you? Anyway, today, you either bring Akun himself over, or hand over the properties and turf, and stop wasting my time!"

Da Xing grew impatient and barked at his subordinates.

"Today, if they don’t agree, chop them all down!"

The lackeys who followed Da Xing and those who had recently pledged allegiance to him immediately started waving their knives and shouting.

Now, they felt that Da Xing was in absolute control and that sticking with him would give them a better chance of victory.

In no time, Da Xing’s side surged with momentum, and his look at Wang Hao had changed from before, filled with the desire to kill.

Wang Hao could tell from Da Xing’s eyes that he was absolutely determined to prevail, and would not rest until his goal was achieved.

Wang Hao had initially thought of giving Akun some face, as they had grown up together as brothers and wanted to offer him a way out. Now it seemed there was absolutely no need for that.

Looking at Da Xing’s posture, it was clear that today it would be either Wang Hao’s death or his own!

"I really can’t understand your thinking. Akun isn’t dead yet. Even if you get these things, there are still Qi Qi and Xiao Long. Are you going to kill them too?"

Wang Hao still couldn’t fathom it.

"If they don’t submit to me, I’ll kill them just the same!"

Da Xing was consumed by fury, his eyes blood-red, single-mindedly determined to seize everything that belonged to Akun.

"Then, haven’t you considered that once you have all these things, how are you going to manage and control them by yourself?"

Wang Hao pointed at the people behind Da Xing and said. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Right now, at most only half of Akun’s men have submitted to you, and the other half are with Qi Qi and Xiao Long. You’re going to fight Qi Qi and Xiao Long next, and manage these properties and turf, aren’t you afraid others will come to steal them?"

Da Xing patted his head and suddenly cracked a twisted smile, but did not answer Wang Hao.

"You don’t need to worry about this, Brother Hao!"

Da Xing said nothing, yet Wang Hao heard Zeng Qiang’s voice.

Then, they saw Zeng Qiang walk out from behind Da Xing, wiping the blood from his hands as he moved.

Everyone was stunned to see Zeng Qiang.

So was Wang Hao, who had never expected Da Xing to collude with Zeng Qiang in seizing Akun’s territory.

In Chicheng County, Zeng Qiang had always been Akun’s sworn enemy.

Moreover, Zeng Qiang had come in through the back door. Without inside-outside collusion with Da Xing, he could never have gotten in.

Wang Hao deduced that the back door must have been taken over by Zeng Qiang, and the blood on his hands was probably that of Akun’s underlings.

"After getting the territory, I’ll look after it for Brother Da Xing. He can then focus on dealing with those underlings unwilling to follow him. Once he’s rallied everyone’s hearts, I’ll hand the territory back to him!"

Zeng Qiang spoke with disdain, as if the two were partners in business.

"You could be that kindhearted?"

Wang Hao scoffed coldly.

"By the time Da Xing has rallied everyone, I bet the whole of Chicheng County will have fallen into your hands!"

"Brother Da Xing, don’t listen to his divisive words. I, Zeng Qiang, swear to the heavens, if I do not return the territory to you by then, may I be struck by lightning and suffer a terrible death!"

Zeng Qiang immediately swore an oath, and he said it with finality.

But in reality, he was thinking that by the time Da Xing went to deal with the dissenters, both would be greatly weakened. With Da Xing then unable to manage the territories, Zeng Qiang would just sit back and reap the benefits.

Wang Hao, of course, knew what Zeng Qiang was thinking and also that Da Xing had been manipulated by some means, but exposing him wouldn’t help the situation at this point.

"I just don’t understand, why would you do this? What’s in it for you?"

Wang Hao asked, puzzled.

"Didn’t I tell you this morning?"

"This morning?"

"Seems like the high and mighty easily forget. This morning, when Officer Pang was still around, I said I would come to settle the score with you tonight!"

Zeng Qiang spoke with a ferocious expression.

"All I’ve done was for revenge, to avenge the humiliation you gave me at the school gate that day!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a throng of underlings suddenly charged through the back door, filling the entire gambling hall. It was clear that Zeng Qiang had come prepared.

Seeing that Zeng Qiang’s side now had more than three times the number of people than his own, and they were also armed with weapons, Wang Hao’s underlings began to sweat profusely.

And surely, there were more of them outside. Whether they fought or fled, they had no chance at all.

"Wang Hao, I want you to kneel here and lick my shoes today!"

Zeng Qiang came up to Wang Hao, pointed at his nose, and said.

"Oh, and Qi Shihan, that pretty girl, she’s your treasure, right? I’ll have someone grab her right now, have her serve me well. Once she’s done with me, I’ll let her take care of the brothers present. How does that sound?"

Da Xing’s and Zeng Qiang’s underlings immediately began to stir, taunting Wang Hao’s side with even less restraint.

"Zeng Qiang, you must be dreaming!"

Instead of becoming enraged, Wang Hao looked at Zeng Qiang with a mocking expression.

"Dreaming?"

Zeng Qiang looked back at his underlings and their knives and said,

"With Da Xing’s collaboration, we have three times your number. Besides, we have knives. What about you? What will you fight me with? These chairs?"

After saying that, Zeng Qiang grabbed a knife from an underling’s hand, placed it against Wang Hao’s neck, and burst into laughter.

"We have guns!"

Just as Zeng Qiang was lost in his arrogance, Sun Lao San’s voice came from outside...
