Free Web NovelChapter 805: Chapter 790: Ambushed on the Road (Part 2)
Old Zhao obediently raised his hands and slowly walked out of the car. He had no choice. He had chances to flee, but if he abandoned the two partners who had been with him through thick and thin, even if he survived, he would live the rest of his life in endless pain and guilt.
"Sigh!" Wang Qiang let out a frustrated sigh. He really couldn’t understand why Old Zhao didn’t just drive away. Now, all three of them had become captives, with no chance to escape.
"Huang Yong, we’ve never been at odds with you. Why go to such great lengths to harm us? What exactly do you want?" Tang Xiaoquan had initially hoped Old Zhao could escape and find reinforcements to rescue them later.
But now it seems... he has to find another way to get out. The first thing is to figure out the opponent’s motive for waiting to capture them.
"Haha, I’m the one who went to great lengths to harm you? You bunch of scoundrels, you really are quick to blame others! Let me ask you, hasn’t President Liu treated you well? He Lei, that scoundrel bastard, said long ago that he wanted to wipe you out. If it weren’t for President Liu holding him back, would you still be alive today? Damn, I don’t know what President Liu was thinking, leaving you bunch of troublemakers alive. Now, he’s been captured by you, and yesterday you planned to lure us in to finish us off, right? Luckily, the heavens were watching, and the three of us escaped. Fate has turned, and while I was waiting for He Lei, that bastard, I ran into you little rascals. Didn’t expect you’d end up in my hands today, huh?"
"Huang Yong, you’re talking crap. You think we’re fools? If it wasn’t for Liu Fugui, that old fox, going to the villa as a mole and tipping you off so you could watch us, would you know our movements? Falling into your hands today, I have nothing to say, but don’t act like a saint while doing dirty work!"
"Screw you!"
"Papapapa!" A burst of punches and kicks knocked Wang Qiang to the ground.
"Qiangzi!"
"Little Wang!"
"It’s nothing!" Wang Qiang used his left hand to cover his stomach and raised his right hand to stop Tang Xiaoquan and Old Zhao’s cries of surprise, then continued: "What, annoyed because I saw through your tricks? Let me tell you, Huang Yong, Liu Fugui’s sly tricks have long been exposed by us. If anything happens to the three of us today, that old fox is done for too."
Tang Xiaoquan felt a pang of bitterness as he looked at Wang Qiang, who was bleeding from the corners of his mouth but held his ground. Not only had his carelessness implicated the other two, but Wang Qiang’s words showed that he’d judged wrong.
If Tang Xiaoquan had suspected Liu Fugui’s collusion with Spring Xiu before, Huang Yong’s angry words just now proved that there was no private deal between them.
Because Liu Fugui didn’t know they would take this route today, nor did he know they’d be returning today.
This means Huang Yong couldn’t have known anything from Liu Fugui about their actions and prepared an ambush ahead.
Still, Wang Qiang’s approach was quite good. By planning to use Liu Fugui as a scapegoat, it is unclear whether he could save the lives of the three.
Actually, Wang Qiang’s words were quite simple and didn’t have the depth Tang Xiaoquan imagined, but Huang Yong listened and became furious. He grabbed Wang Qiang by the collar and shouted angrily: "You backstabbers, controlling our President Liu, and now have the audacity to blame us? You’ve got some nerve! I’ll tell you, don’t think that means I can’t deal with you. You better pray nothing happens to President Liu while he’s with you, or I swear I’ll make sure the three of you meet the zombies!"
A misunderstanding. Tang Xiaoquan’s first reaction was a huge misunderstanding between both sides. He recalled Old Xu’s account of his interaction with Yao Ruyi, and based on what Huang Yong said, it’s clear this is a colossal mix-up.
"President Huang, sorry, can I say a few words? I think we might have complicated some matters between us." Tang Xiaoquan was a bit agitated, gesturing animatedly as he tried to step forward.
But his behavior was seen by Yao Ruyi as a threatening act of aggression. Without a word, Yao Ruyi kicked him and commanded: "Kid, stand still, don’t try anything funny."
"Damn it, I’ll fight you!"
"Don’t do anything rash, Qiangzi!" The situation was about to spiral out of control, and Tang Xiaoquan feared that if Wang Qiang acted, they would suffer.
He quickly stood up to stop Wang Qiang, who was ready to retaliate: "Calm down, Qiangzi, I’m okay. President Huang, give me a few minutes to explain everything, and you’ll understand there’s no need for this tense standoff!"
"Screw you, shut up. Huang bro, don’t listen to him. This guy wants to trick us, confuse you to save himself!" The subordinate standing idly by was worried Huang Yong might be swayed by Tang Xiaoquan’s words, so he hurriedly intervened.
The commotion annoyed Huang Yong greatly, especially the subordinate’s meddling made him furious.
Impatiently, Huang Yong shouted at everyone: "All of you shut up. And you two, do I not know what to do better than you two idiots? Do I need your input? Stop babbling, take these guys away, and keep an eye on them!"
Embarrassed and speechless, Yao Ruyi and another subordinate begrudgingly tied the three of them up and pushed them forward.
Opening the door of the transport van, once inside, the subordinate exclaimed in excitement: "Huang... Huang bro, we... we’re rich."
Due to an injury to his arm while fleeing, Huang Yong looked weak despite the wound having stopped bleeding after simple treatment. He felt dizzy from the previous rage, so his subordinate’s excitement couldn’t cheer him: "Screw your wealth! If you shout like that again, I’ll blow your brains out."
Despite the scolding, Huang Yong was curious about what had excited his subordinate. He slowly moved to the front of the group, roughly shoving the tied-up Wang Qiang and others aside.
Wang Qiang wanted to resist but was blocked by Old Zhao, who hadn’t spoken and frowned, signaling Wang Qiang to not act rashly.
Rice, flour, piles of white woven bags neatly stacked in layers inside the cash transport van, along with various packaged dried foods, no wonder the subordinate couldn’t contain his emotions. They hadn’t eaten for dozens of hours, and the only drinks were bottles of mineral water scavenged from Spring Xiu’s abandoned vehicle.
Now, faced with such a huge windfall, their eyes shone green with excitement. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
