523: Chapter 522 Intensifying Contradictions 523: Chapter 522 Intensifying Contradictions Wei Zhentian watched his son bounding off with his school bag, thinking he had turned over a new leaf.
Little did he know that this departure would be their last goodbye.
Su Xuan had entrusted the task entirely to Liu Sheng, who was very cautious.
Having previously been involved in the theft industry, Liu Sheng had strong anti-surveillance capabilities.
“It should be the one up ahead.”
Driving the car with one hand holding a photo, Liu Sheng repeatedly compared it and confird it was indeed Wei Sijia.
Slamming the accelerator, the car roared as it charged forward.
Bang!
The road where they had agreed to et was flanked by towering walls on both sides, leaving no chance for escape.
Wei Sijia’s body was sent flying by the impact.
To ensure he was truly dead, Liu Sheng did not forget to run over him a second ti.
But his purpose was not yet fulfilled.
After getting out of the car, Liu Sheng cursed at Wei Sijia on the ground, “Don’t think I wouldn’t dare to touch you just because your dad is Wei Zhentian, you pay for ssing with my wife by having your son pay for your sins!”
Having said that, Liu Sheng drove away.
Soon, a group of people rushed over, circling the body to examine it closely.
These people were from the Black Wolf Gang.
Liu Sheng had already noticed that this group nearby belonged to the Black Wolf Gang.
If he told them the child was Wei Zhentian’s son, they would certainly take interest.
And as expected, when Liu Sheng ntioned Wei Zhentian as he was leaving, the group hurried over to confirm if it was really him.
Liu Sheng had tid everything perfectly, ensuring not a single detail was overlooked.
“Su Xuan, it’s done.”
Liu Sheng made the call to Su Xuan.
Su Xuan prepared a cup of mocha coffee, adding just a touch of sugar.
The taste was truly excellent.
A smile spread across Su Xuan’s face as he thought to himself, “By tonight, Wei Zhentian will be looking for .”
Things changed quickly.
The Black Wolf Gang mbers had taken Wei Sijia’s body back in a burlap sack, and all the Hall Masters were overjoyed.
The son of their archenemy was dead, and it was indeed a cause for celebration with fireworks.
Only Xiong Sandao was in a foul mood.
He questioned those who had brought back the body.
“How did you find this body?”
The n answered truthfully, “He was hit by a car while we were eating at a roadside stall.
The scene, the speed of the car, it was just too…”
Xiong Sandao didn’t want to hear any nonsense and interrupted, “How did you know this was Wei Zhentian’s son?”
“I heard the driver say it.
Apparently, Wei Zhentian stole the driver’s wife; it must have been revenge.”
Xiong Sandao asked a few more questions before sending the n away.
A few Hall Masters suggested an idea to Xiong Sandao, “Since last ti the Lingnan Chamber of Comrce exchanged Zhong Feiying’s body for so venues with us, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for us to exchange his son’s body for so venues too.”
“What do you know!”
Xiong Sandao roared, and the Hall Masters were confused.
The son was dead, what could be better than gaining venues in exchange?
Xiong Sandao said seriously, “Think about it, Wei Zhentian’s son dying at our hands, what does that say?
What will outsiders think?
We all operate by a code on the streets, and taking out vengeance on family mbers would tarnish the Black Wolf Gang’s reputation of decades.”
“Hold on to what reputation, in a world where the victors rule?
Once we wipe out the Lingnan Chamber of Comrce, we’ll have the power to change the narrative,” said one of the Hall Masters.
The argunt made so sense.
In the end, Xiong Sandao still went to the study to call Wei Zhentian.
It wasn’t easy for Xiong Sandao to speak directly with Wei Zhentian; instead, he had to go through multiple transfers.
“Hello, put through to Wei Zhentian!”
Xiong Sandao spoke firmly and added to the operator, “His son is in my hands, hurry up!”
Indeed, within a minute, the voice on the other end changed to Wei Zhentian’s.
“Hello, this is Wei Zhentian.
Who’s this, and what’s happened to my son?” Wei Zhentian was anxiously wondering.
It hadn’t been long since he had seen his son off with his school bag to do howork at a friend’s place; how could he have ended up with Xiong Sandao?
Surely, this was a despicable kidnapping sche by the Black Wolf Gang.
“I am Xiong Sandao.”
“Is my son with you?
I want to hear his voice, now!”
Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its offspring.
In that mont, the usually cold and arrogant Wei Zhentian felt tears welling up.
“Sorry, he’s already dead.”
Xiong Sandao spoke slowly, knowing he would inevitably be blad.
Sure enough, Wei Zhentian’s voice ca roaring through the phone, “You killed my son?!
You involved family in our matters, is there no honor left?”
Xiong Sandao didn’t want to say anything else.
With the situation as it was, there was nothing good to say to Wei Zhentian.
Considering the previous exchange involving Zhong Feiying’s body, Xiong Sandao sought to arrange a similar deal.
“Do you want to take your son’s body back?
Just agree to let our Black Wolf Gang take over, and you can.”
Xiong Sandao asked.
“Preposterous!” Wei Zhentian managed to say through gritted teeth.
Xiong Sandao knew the other side would never agree, so he proposed, “Then give up twenty venues in exchange.”
“What?!
Twenty venues.”
Wei Zhentian couldn’t believe Xiong Sandao would demand so much, considering the Lingnan Chamber of Comrce had only exchanged three venues for Zhong Feiying’s body before.
“What’s wrong, isn’t that acceptable?
If not, I’ll just feed your son’s body to the dogs!”
After Xiong Sandao finished his statent, the room indeed echoed with the bark of a Tibetan Mastiff.
Wei Zhentian panicked.
His first wife had died early, and this son was all he had left.
She had made him promise to look after their son at all costs, and now, alas…
fate had not been kind.
After a long silence, the voice ca through, “Alright, twenty venues it is, I want to see my son’s body imdiately.”
Wei Zhentian spoke, and through the receiver, one could hear the sound of an old man’s sobs.
“Hand over the body as we hand over the venues.”
Xiong Sandao hung up the phone, feeling much relieved.
Now the only things left to do were to send people to take over the venues and prepare troops to stand by for a possible battle with the Lingnan Chamber of Comrce.
Twenty venues wasn’t a small number; in the Black Wolf Gang, the smallest hall had only thirty venues.
Trading nearly an entire hall for a single dead body was a great deal.
Bangs and the sound of a phone smashing to pieces ca from the Lingnan Chamber of Comrce.
Bang!
“What audacity!
Killing my son and trying to snatch my venues, Xiong Sandao, I, Wei Zhentian, can’t coexist with you under the sa sky.
Just wait, I will take your head to mourn my deceased wife and son!”
Wei Zhentian, as if gone mad, kept slapping his own face.
“Big Master, you must hold on.
If you fall, the Lingnan Chamber of Comrce falls with you.
Then what capital will we have to fight with the Black Wolf Gang?”
Miao Qingfeng made a compelling argunt, appealing to emotion and reason.
Wiping away his tears, Wei Zhentian said firmly, “Right, I can’t fall.
I must kill Xiong Sandao personally to avenge my son!”
Miao Qingfeng nodded vigorously in agreent.
“Qingfeng, call Su Xuan imdiately.
We will gather our forces and attack the Black Wolf Gang tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Su Xuan was at Top Diamond KTV, leisurely awaiting the call from the Lingnan Chamber of Comrce.
Finally, the call ca.
“Hello, Qingfeng, what’s up?
You’re not inviting out to eat a ho-cooked al tonight, are you?”
Hearing Su Xuan’s playful words, Miao Qingfeng said solemnly, “It’s a big deal this ti.
Wei Sijia has been killed by soone sent by Xiong Sandao!”
Su Xuan tried to sound as believable as possible, asking incredulously, “How is that possible?
Isn’t Xiong Sandao being too arrogant?”
“Yes, which is why the Big Master wants to attack the Black Wolf Gang tomorrow.
He asked to pass the ssage to you, hoping you can stand with us.”
“Of course, I’ll help out for your sake.”
Su Xuan promised.
“Always so glib with words.
By the way, our plan to eat a ho-cooked al has to be postponed – there might be battles in the coming days.”
“I understand; I won’t force you,” Su Xuan replied.
“That’s not what I an.” Miao Qingfeng hurried to explain, hearing Su Xuan sound a bit annoyed.
“Alright, you go ahead.
I’ll co to your chamber tonight.”
Liu Sheng walked in just as Su Xuan hung up the phone.
“How is it, any reaction from them?”
Su Xuan nodded, saying, “Quite a big reaction.
It seems they’re ready to go all out for a huge battle.
What we need to do is to watch the tigers fight and hope both sides suffer heavy losses.”
“Heh, smart move.”
Liu Sheng gave a thumbs up.
“There’s no other choice.
We’ve been in Rongcheng for so long; it’s impossible to keep being strung along by them, we can’t wait.”
Su Xuan explained.
Suddenly, Su Xuan said, “I’ve consulted soone about your son’s illness.
There’s a hospital in Arica that has done extensive research on it.
Apparently, they have an eighty percent success rate with treatnts.
If you agree, I’d like to send him over.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng was overjoyed and quickly asked, “Really, an eighty percent success rate?”
But the excitent that flickered in Liu Sheng’s eyes was montary.
He knew it would cost a lot of money, money he simply couldn’t afford.
Last ti, it was Su Xuan who provided three hundred thousand for his son’s dical expenses.
As if reading his mind, Su Xuan reassured, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll cover the expenses.
If you’re with , it’s my duty to make sure everyone’s well-off.”
Liu Sheng looked up, his eyes filled with gratitude.
He wasn’t one for flowery words of thanks; he simply said, “I’ll work hard for you from now on!”
“Alright, get back to work.”
Liu Sheng’s son had cerebral palsy.
Ever since his wife’s death, he pinned all his hopes for living on his son.
He once couldn’t afford the dical bills and thought that if his son died, he’d have no more ties to this world and might as well be dead too.
Now he saw hope again.
If his son could be cured, he’d be willing to do anything, even die.
That evening, Su Xuan dared not bring Liu Sheng because Liu Sheng had killed his son, risking recognition.
He instead brought Azure Dragon to the Chamber of Comrce as planned.
In the late afternoon, Wei Zhentian received his son’s body and wept bitterly, overco with grief.
In the eting, Wei Zhentian quickly persuaded the other Hall Masters to agree to start the battle the next day.
When asked about Su Xuan, he said, “Most of my n are in Qingshan City; it might take so ti to bring them over.”
“We hope you can do it quickly, we’re in a hurry here.
Since you can’t bring your people tomorrow, we will go on the offensive first.”
During the eting, Wei Zhentian delivered a rallying speech, clearly infuriated by this turn of events.
Miao Qingfeng was the pharmacist and Poison Maker of the Chamber.
She was in charge of the poisons for this battle.
“Third Master, you have to bring out the deadliest poison and apply it to our n’s blades, ensuring their swift demise!”
Wei Zhentian instructed Miao Qingfeng.
“I will definitely complete the mission.”
Watching the seriousness on Miao Qingfeng’s face, Su Xuan found it quite terrifying.
A beauty skilled in making poisons was indeed frightening; perhaps next ti he should ask her about any enhancers for the matters between n and won.
