Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Da Xing is Dead
"Brother Hao, please, I’m begging you, don’t kill me!"
Seeing how powerful Wang Hao’s presence was, Zeng Qiang also hastily begged for mercy.
"Why shouldn’t I kill you? Give me one reason!"
Wang Hao said, pressing the gun against Zeng Qiang’s head.
"Before I came here, I had instructed my guys to kidnap Qi Shihan from that woman’s house; the plan was to use her to blackmail you."
"As long as you promise not to kill me, I can immediately make a call to have them release her, ensuring no harm comes to a single hair on her head!"
In fear, Zeng Qiang spilled his only bargaining chip.
"Hahaha... That’s it?"
After hearing Zeng Qiang’s words, Wang Hao didn’t speak, but Gao Ye and Sun Laosan standing beside them burst into loud laughter.
"You think your scheme is so perfect? Wang Hao had long anticipated you were backing Da Xing, and he already sent Sun Lao’er to take over your territory while you were all out, seizing control of your area."
"Now the few dozen underlings you had left over there have all switched allegiance to Wang Hao. There are none of your people left in the entire district."
Zeng Qiang’s face went pale when he heard this, and he quickly dialed his subordinate’s number, only to hear an unfamiliar male voice on the other end of the line.
"Hello, Young Master, I’m Sun Laor!"
The voice of Sun Laor, laced with mockery, infuriated Zeng Qiang.
On the side, Gao Ye and Sun Laosan laughed triumphantly upon seeing this scene.
Zeng Qiang was utterly dejected; his cell phone dropped to the ground as he stared at Wang Hao with a vacant grin, looking like a complete madman.
"Wang Hao, how did you guess that I was the one behind Da Xing?"
Zeng Qiang, after laughter, couldn’t help but ask.
He had always thought that his coordination with Da Xing was flawless, yet Wang Hao managed to crush it in one fell swoop.
Not only did he not obtain Akun’s enterprise and territory, but also Wang Hao had encroached on his own territory and men.
Zeng Qiang simply couldn’t fathom where he had slipped up, letting Wang Hao see through his ploy.
"All thanks to that comment you made this morning, claiming you’d deal with me in the evening. Coincidentally, Da Xing caused a disturbance at the gambling den later that night. How could it be such a coincidence?"
A cunning smile spread across Wang Hao’s face.
"Besides, Da Xing only has a few men, what guts did he have to stand against me? I didn’t even need to guess to know that someone was backing him, and it definitely had to be you."
"And I also imagined that you would go all out to assist Da Xing, waiting to reap the benefits, but what you didn’t anticipate was that by doing so, your own territory would become undefended."
Wang Hao didn’t continue, as everything by now had proven his guesses were correct, and he had already won the bet.
Zeng Qiang tilted his head back and let out a laugh, wishing he could smack himself twice for not having been patient enough and blurting out that comment, which had now caused him to lose everything.
But regret was already too late, and Zeng Qiang could only accept this reality.
"Are you going to kill me?"
Zeng Qiang continued to ask Wang Hao tentatively, focused solely on whether he could survive.
"Then let me ask you, if it had been me who had lost just now, would you have killed me?"
Wang Hao stared at Zeng Qiang and counters asked.
Zeng Qiang didn’t answer. He wouldn’t even have to think about it; he would certainly have killed Wang Hao without hesitation, and he would have made Wang Hao’s life a living hell, torturing him constantly. Qi Shihan might have also been violated.
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you!"
Just as Zeng Qiang thought he was surely going to die, Wang Hao’s words made his jaw drop in astonishment.
Zeng Qiang simply couldn’t believe his own ears and for a while, doubted that he’d heard correctly.
"But you must answer my questions honestly, otherwise, I’ll make your life a living hell!"
Wang Hao glared fiercely into Zeng Qiang’s eyes as he spoke.
"What questions?"
Zeng Qiang asked urgently, not willing to let go of the glimmer of hope he had finally seen.
"How did you and Da Xing find out about Akun’s injuries?"
Wang Hao asked with a firm frown. freёwebnovel.com
"Da Xing told me, and I don’t know any more than that,"
Zeng Qiang answered while looking into Wang Hao’s eyes, not even blinking.
If a person is lying, they won’t look directly into someone’s eyes, but Zeng Qiang didn’t avoid Wang Hao’s gaze at all, so Wang Hao believed he wasn’t lying.
At this point, Wang Hao felt some regret, realizing he shouldn’t have let Da Xing go so soon.
Wang Hao turned and glanced at Sun Lao San, who immediately understood the cue and quickly sent some people out to bring back Da Xing.
Because from what Da Xing had said, Wang Hao deduced that Da Xing must have known about Akun’s injuries ahead of time. If Da Xing wasn’t the culprit, he certainly knew some inside information.
"Zeng Qiang, I’ll let you go this time, but consider your territory a penance gift. Don’t ever show up in front of me again, or don’t blame me for being rude!"
After finishing his talk, Wang Hao ordered people to strip Zeng Qiang of his clothes, took many photos of him, and then let him leave.
"You’d better keep in line once you’re out, otherwise, these photos will end up in your dad’s office!"
Before Zeng Qiang left, Wang Hao threatened him one last time, brandishing his phone.
Standing behind Wang Hao, Gao Ye felt worried, thinking that Wang Hao was letting the tiger return to the mountain.
What if he sought revenge for his son and caused trouble from behind, how would they deal with Wang Hao and the three Gao brothers?
"It’s because of his father that we can’t kill him. If the son dies under suspicious circumstances, wouldn’t the higher-ups conduct a thorough investigation, and do you think they would let us off? That would only put us at a greater disadvantage!"
Wang Hao said earnestly as he put away his phone.
Gao Ye nodded continuously after hearing Wang Hao’s explanation.
"Wang Hao, I must say you’re quite something. With the strict gun control in Xiangbei, how did you manage to get these five guns?"
Gao Ye, holding a pistol and looking at it with interest, asked.
"I snatched them from the hands of Treasure Hunter, with the strength I have now, how could I buy such things,"
Wang Hao didn’t want to divulge the matter about the tomb, so he laughed it off and changed the subject.
"Akun really isn’t up to it. You guys should manage the city and county in the future. I need to go back to running the company, and I won’t have much time for this."
Gao Ye nodded and turned to look at Sun Lao San, the most shrewd and capable among the three brothers, who all took orders from him.
"The wheel of time turns, and here we are, back to the state of five years ago,"
Sun Lao San looked around the gambling den, speaking with profound meaning.
"Five years ago, the three of us ran things and ended up losing it all. Now we are four brothers; let’s see who can bring us down now!"
Wang Hao and Gao Ye exchanged knowing smiles, and then all three of them laughed together.
Wang Hao felt that he should inform all the brothers about Akun’s situation. Otherwise, if Sun Lao San took over abruptly, those underlings would surely be dissatisfied.
As Wang Hao was considering how to approach the matter with his subordinates, Xiao Yong rushed in urgently, gasping for air as he shouted out loud.
"Bad news, Brother Hao, Da Xing is dead!"
