Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Wang Hao Comes Knocking
"Brother Wang Hao, here’s the rope!"
At that moment, an underling brought over a rope, and without a word, Wang Hao took it and attempted to loop it around Third Brother Sun.
But despite being out of his mind, Third Brother Sun’s flailing arms only seemed to grow more forceful, and he immediately cut the rope.
Luckily, the rope was long enough that, even after being cut twice, they could still bind Third Brother Sun.
"Oh, Fist God also gets chased around to be slashed, huh!"
As the rope was about to be completely severed, He Peng arrived just in time.
But at that moment, He Peng had no idea what had happened and was still teasing Wang Hao.
"Where’s that little bottle of yours, hurry up and give it to me!"
Wang Hao didn’t have time to explain; upon seeing He Peng, he immediately asked for the small bottle.
After hearing Wang Hao frantically asking for the small bottle, He Peng roughly guessed what was happening and quickly took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it over to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao took the small bottle, threw away the rope in his hand, and, risking danger, dashed straight toward Third Brother Sun.
As Third Brother Sun swung his knife, Wang Hao grabbed his right hand and maneuvered behind him, hooking his neck in one quick movement.
The others weren’t idle either; seeing the situation, they quickly pounced on Third Brother Sun and pinned him down.
But Third Brother Sun had a defiant look, persisting in his deadly struggles, and in the blink of an eye, several brothers were injured.
Seizing the moment when Third Brother Sun was about to strike again, Wang Hao opened the small bottle and put it under Third Brother Sun’s nose.
Third Brother Sun sniffed the scent from the bottle and suddenly shook; then his eyes closed, and he collapsed to the ground, limp.
"Is Third Brother alright?"
Second Brother Sun, ignoring his own injuries, rushed over and asked anxiously.
"He’s fine; he just needs to rest a bit!"
Wang Hao finally relaxed and answered.
Hearing Wang Hao say this, the other brothers finally felt at ease.
Only after Third Brother Sun had collapsed did He Peng walk over, grasped Third Brother Sun’s wrist, and checked his pulse.
"Overdosing on drugs to such an extent, how much poison must he have consumed to turn out like this?"
He Peng looked up at Wang Hao with a profound gaze, noticing that many people around had tattoos, giving him a strange look.
"Third Brother had never touched these things before, and among our brothers, drug use is prohibited. They would never touch it!"
Wang Hao said firmly.
"It’s only after seeing Xing Hua that Third Brother became like this; it must have been something Xing Hua did!"
After smelling He Peng’s small bottle, Third Brother Sun fell into a deep sleep. He Peng then put a pill in Third Brother Sun’s mouth to dissolve, checked his pulse again, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"He should be alright now; he just needs to wake up slowly and he’ll be back to normal."
He Peng said to Wang Hao.
"I really can’t thank you enough this time!"
Wang Hao gratefully expressed.
"What are you being so polite for? Helping you is like helping myself. Old Wen said that if he catches Xing Hua with my help, he would give me a million. Why wouldn’t I earn that money?"
He Peng laughed.
Mentioning Xing Hua darkened Wang Hao’s expression again; he grabbed He Peng and Xiao Yong and walked out.
"Wang Hao, what are you going to do?"
Old Gao sensed something was amiss and quickly asked Wang Hao.
"It’s nothing, Old Gao. I just want to inquire about the situation. You guys watch over Third Brother; we can’t let anything else happen to him."
Wang Hao casually responded and led He Peng and Xiao Yong out of the arcade.
At this point, Xiao Yong was filled with doubts. Today’s events were too bizarre, and he was completely in the dark about what was occurring; it was well beyond his comprehension.
"Xiao Yong, I’m asking you, and you need to answer truthfully. Where did you and Third Brother meet Xing Hua today, and what exactly happened?"
Wang Hao asked seriously.
"The meeting place was set by them, right at the border between our two powers, at a hotel. That hotel happens to be a property under Xing Hua."
Xiao Yong thought carefully and then added.
"We didn’t do much after getting there. San Ye just had a meal with Xing Hua and then they chatted together. During that time, they seemed to be quite happy with their conversation."
"Mainly, they discussed how Xing Hua was planning to withdraw from Zao City’s turf, wishing to make the Sun Family the sole ruler of Zao City, to become the boss of Zao City."
Wang Hao couldn’t help but sneer after listening, as if there were such good things in the world. Surely, Xing Hua wanted to use this to gain San Ye’s trust, which made San Ye less vigilant and eat the food prepared by Xing Hua.
In the past, San Ye had always been very cautious, never eating anything carelessly outside, especially things given by Xing Hua.
"Take me to that hotel now!"
Wang Hao briskly opened the door of a car and motioned for He Peng and Xiao Yong to get in.
"Shouldn’t you say a word to Second Master and Gao Ye?"
Xiao Yong hurriedly asked.
Wang Hao just shook his head and had Xiao Yong drive, taking him and He Peng directly towards the Xing Hua-managed hotel.
"Brother Wang Hao, this is the hotel."
The car stopped in front of a hotel, and Xiao Yong, who had come with San Ye to attend the negotiations, pointed at the hotel door and said.
"The hotel manager inside is one of Xing Hua’s men; it was him who led us to Xing Hua." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Alright, I’ve got it. You go back first, no need to wait for us!"
After finishing his words, Wang Hao got out of the car.
"Ah?"
Xiao Yong was taken aback and hurriedly called out to Wang Hao.
"Brother Wang Hao, this is Xing Hua’s territory after all. If he really did something to San Ye, he will surely be against you too once you go in. Why don’t I go in with you as well? I’ve got a gun!"
"There’s really no need. If Xing Hua really makes a move on me this time, why would he spare you? Why should you follow us to court death? You better hurry back!"
Wang Hao replied with a smile.
Actually, Wang Hao didn’t mind having some help, but ordinary people had no resistance against Xing Hua’s white powder.
But Wang Hao had the Heart of the Dragon energy, and He Peng had his little bottle; neither of them was afraid of Xing Hua’s white powder.
Instead, ordinary people like them could only end up like San Ye, probably making things worse by attempting to help, so it was best for just the two of them to go in now.
Xiao Yong felt warmth in his heart upon hearing Wang Hao’s words. Other leaders often used their underlings as cannon fodder, sending them to the frontlines without valuing their lives at all.
But the brothers of the Sun Family and Wang Hao were the exact opposite; when facing danger, they would be the first to charge in, treating the lives of their underlings as exceedingly important.
"Brother Wang Hao, I think..."
"Don’t say anything else. Once I go in, you hurry and leave. Under no circumstances should you stay here!"
"Then keep this gun for self-defense!"
Xiao Yong was still not entirely at ease and wanted Wang Hao to take the gun.
"It’s fine, I’m not very accustomed to using guns. Besides, with so many of them, one gun won’t make much difference!"
Wang Hao waved off the offer and headed for the hotel’s entrance without looking back, without a hint of hesitation.
Xiao Yong hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat at a loss, but seeing Wang Hao gesture for him to leave quickly before entering, he obediently drove away to not distract him.
"I say, Fist God, this place is probably Xing Hua’s secret lair. Shouldn’t we be careful we’re not walking into a trap?"
He Peng, seeing Wang Hao’s fierce demeanor but not feeling very confident himself, said hesitantly since it was just the two of them.
"Just relax, I’ll make sure you’re safe!"
Wang Hao winked at He Peng and then whispered into his ear.
"Just think, that one million is almost in our hands. Are you still afraid now?"
He Peng instantly fell silent; as the saying goes, a man risks his life for wealth, and a bird dies for food. For that extra million, he too had to steel himself and face battle alongside Wang Hao.
Wang Hao strode into Xiu Jin Hotel, continuously scanning the surroundings. He realized that there were indeed no members of Xing Hua’s crew around—Xing Hua seemed to be quite confident about his own territory, which only deepened Wang Hao’s suspicion.
Entering the lobby, Wang Hao spotted the hotel manager Xiao Yong had mentioned and walked straight towards him...
