Chapter 238: Chapter 238: The Privilege to Act First, Report Later
CRACK!
With that, Ning Tian, the boss who ruled over Dongguan Bath City, was dead.
The crowd practically stopped breathing.
’Just where did this monster of a man come from?!’
’Is tonight doomed to be the end of Dongguan Bath City?’
CLICK.
Jiang Xinghai calmly dialed a number. "Come to Dongguan Bath City."
After hanging up, he looked at Niu Zhen, who was slumped in the corner. "Come here."
"O-okay, okay..." Niu Zhen was truly terrified.
He had already pissed himself in fear earlier when he saw Jiang Xinghai kick two security guards to death.
And now, another puddle of foul-smelling yellow liquid began to spread from beneath him.
"Just stay there, then."
Jiang Xinghai had naturally noticed. "Aren’t you usually so arrogant? Didn’t you use to beat and curse your ex-wife and daughter? So why are you pissing yourself in fear today?"
"I... I was wrong." No matter how foolish Niu Zhen was, he knew when to submit.
"If Sister Meng hadn’t asked me to spare you, you’d already be meeting Yama."
Jiang Xinghai’s words sent tears gushing from Niu Zhen’s eyes, and he started sobbing uncontrollably.
He gave Meng Lihua a deep look, fresh tears streaming down his face.
’Regret? What good would that do now?’
Even if he repented with all his heart now, Meng Lihua would never take him back.
He had divorced her right after their daughter was born and they discovered her congenital disease.
For the past three years, not only had he not given his ex-wife and daughter a single cent, he had even taken seventy or eighty thousand from them.
He had completely broken the woman’s heart.
"Right. You made a threat earlier, didn’t you? That if I didn’t die, you’d go run headfirst into a wall?" Jiang Xinghai said coldly.
"I..." Niu Zhen’s face turned ashen.
"Brother Hai!"
Just then, Ma Long burst in like a whirlwind.
When he saw the scene, he became furious. "Who’s the blind fool who pissed off my Brother Hai? Are you all looking to die?!"
Immediately after, Wind Leopard rushed in. "Dammit, a punk like Ning Tian dared to mess with my big brother? No one involved is leaving here tonight!"
As he spoke, a group of men in black tank tops poured in one after another.
"Brother Long, Brother Leopard, the perimeter of Dongguan Bath City is completely locked down," one of them reported.
Ma Long immediately looked to Jiang Xinghai. "Brother Hai, just give the order."
No one dared to breathe. Even the few hostesses over by the counter had collapsed to the floor.
’My God!’
’People from the underworld actually call this man "Brother Hai?"’
’Could he be the new big boss?!’
"Leopard, take this man back with you. Get all the videos and photos he has of this lady, including any on USB drives, digital copies, everything!" Jiang Xinghai glanced at Meng Lihua and pointed at Niu Zhen.
"Understood!" Wind Leopard turned his head to glare at Niu Zhen.
"Niu Zhen, from now on, stay away from Jizhou. If I ever find a trace of you here, I won’t kill you, for Nini’s sake. But I will torture you in a thousand different ways. You should understand I’m not joking." Jiang Xinghai waved his hand dismissively.
Wind Leopard immediately dragged Niu Zhen away.
"Ma, this bath city has no morals. Shut it down. You’ll be in charge of cleaning it up." Jiang Xinghai clapped Ma Long on the shoulder.
Then, he left with Meng Lihua.
「On the way.」
Meng Lihua stared blankly at Jiang Xinghai, unable to say a word.
’She was just an ordinary person.’
From the moment Jiang Xinghai had gone out of his way to save her from going down the wrong path, he had been constantly solving her problems.
’And most importantly, there were countless dead and injured!’
This filled Meng Lihua with immense worry.
"Sister Meng, do you think my methods are a bit too bloody?"
Jiang Xinghai initiated the conversation, wanting to ease Meng Lihua’s worries.
Meng Lihua gave a wry smile and nodded.
"There are too many people in this world who don’t deserve to live. While I’m not a law enforcement officer, I have the special privilege to Act First, Report Later," Jiang Xinghai said with a smile.
"Act First, Report Later?" Meng Lihua still couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
’Isn’t that a privilege that only existed in ancient times?’
Jiang Xinghai silently took three small items from his pocket.
One was a Dragon Scale Card, a gift from his eldest senior sister, Chu Lingyun, the head of the Black Gold Consortium.
The second was a coin-sized, circular, mesh-like piece of metal. It was a gift from the Commander of the Celestial Net assassins, his third senior sister, Zhao Linglong.
And the third was a shield emblem formed by a crossing gun and blade.
Though it was only half the size of his palm, the words engraved on it were crystal clear: War Department—Authority to Kill!
This was from his second senior sister, Zhong Yunman, a Three-star General of the War Department.
From that moment on, he had a hidden identity.
Now, not even Shen Lingxue knew about it. Besides his senior sisters and him, Meng Lihua was the only other person who did.
Jiang Xinghai was only doing this to reassure Meng Lihua.
"Thank you, Divine Doctor Jiang." Meng Lihua’s worries instantly vanished, and a smile blossomed on her face.
"Let’s head back to Jishan Hall and help Nini with her treatment," Jiang Xinghai said with a grin.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, I’m just an ordinary citizen with no money or power. I really don’t know how I can ever repay you. If you wouldn’t mind... my life is yours whenever you want it..." Meng Lihua gazed at Jiang Xinghai, her eyes full of affection.
