Seeing Jiang Tao’s displeased expression, Boss Sun lit a cigar and said slowly,
“Two hundred thousand is not a small amount. The climate is tight lately, and the costs and risks are very high, so this is the price. Sell it or don’t!”
They had been negotiating well just a few days ago, and now suddenly ten thousand less. These unscrupulous merchants!
Jiang Tao cursed inwardly but gritted his teeth fiercely, “Sell!”
He pushed Zhou Ruoyu in front of Boss Sun, showing no regard for her as his own daughter. With a beaming smile, he started counting stacks of banknotes from the plastic bag.
Zhou Ruoyu began to cry, “I want Mommy, I want Mommy…”
To prevent the little girl’s cries from attracting trouble, Boss Sun’s two henchmen taped over Zhou Ruoyu’s mouth.
However, just as they were about to leave, a noise was heard.
“Who, come out!” Boss Sun looked around vigilantly.
Everyone also panicked, as they were conducting a shady deal and didn't expect someone else to be around.
Soon, a figure stood up from the tall grass not far away. This unfinished building had been abandoned for years, overgrown with weeds, making it difficult to discover someone hiding inside without a thorough search.
As the person slowly emerged from the grass, Boss Sun irritably cursed, “So it’s just a beggar, scared me to death!”
He had thought their operation was exposed and they were being targeted by the police!
But since it was just a beggar, there was no need to worry.
Boss Sun gestured to his two subordinates. The two men moved to surround the beggar, each holding a dagger.
Engaged in such illicit business, murder was a commonplace affair for them!
Killing a beggar would cause no trouble at all!
“Wuwuwu…”
Beside Boss Sun, Zhou Ruoyu, whose mouth was taped, cried out with muffled sounds. After all, she was a child of four or five, looking pitiable at the moment.
The ‘beggar’ who had emerged from the tall grass suddenly raised his head. Looking at the four or five-year-old girl, his body trembled slightly, and he murmured, “Daughter, my daughter!”
“Give up, she’s my daughter!”
Not far away, Jiang Tao, who was counting money, hurriedly explained, fearing Boss Sun would misunderstand, “Boss Sun, this beggar is probably mentally unstable!”
Boss Sun’s expression remained unchanged. For someone like him in the business of human trafficking, no child’s fate was particularly important.
He gestured to his two subordinates.
The two immediately acted swiftly. One of them pointed a dagger at the ‘beggar’s’ neck.
Boss Sun didn’t continue to watch, merely taking two more puffs of his cigar.
However, suddenly, two screams rang out!
“Ah! Ah!”
The beggar, as if possessed by a Hercules, held one person in each hand and then applied force to his wrists.
“Crack!”
The sound of a neck snapping.
Boss Sun watched with his own eyes as his two subordinates were mercilessly killed by this beggar.
“Quick, kill him, there’s something wrong with this guy!”
Boss Sun shouted urgently. He was a seasoned veteran, having been in the human trafficking business for so many years, he had seen all sorts of strange things. This beggar was clearly a master.
Jiang Tao put down the plastic bag and grabbed a weapon, shouting, “Let’s go, get him!”
He had also brought four hoodlums, who, like him, usually engaged in petty theft and were not afraid of a brawl.
But as they rushed forward, they saw the ‘beggar’s’ eyes erupt with blood-red killing intent.
“You want to harm my daughter, you all must die!”
Jiang Tao and the other five men panicked at that gaze. However, it was too late to escape. The beggar, like a demon, grabbed one of them and snapped his neck.
In just a few breaths, three people had died at the hands of this ‘beggar,’ with only one escaping in a panic.
Jiang Tao unfortunately fell into the ‘beggar’s’ hands. He wanted to beg for mercy, but fear gripped his entire body, making his tongue tie up even to speak.
“Spare… spare…”
“Crack!” A crisp sound, Jiang Tao’s eyes widened, his whole body went limp, and he collapsed on the ground, on the verge of death.
Boss Sun, seeing the scene before him, was almost scared to urinate.
Where did this man who appeared out of nowhere come from? He wasn't a beggar at all, but a bloodthirsty demon!
He forced himself to remain calm, holding a pistol in his hands, and said fiercely, “Don’t come any closer, or I’ll shoot!”
However, the ‘beggar’ walked towards him step by step.
Boss Sun gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger.
“Bang!”
Strangely, as the bullet was fired, the ‘beggar’ merely tilted his head and dodged the projectile.
Boss Sun was greatly startled and was about to fire again.
But soon, his hand was grabbed by the ‘beggar,’ and the pistol slipped to the ground.
The next moment, Boss Sun felt his neck tighten, and he was lifted into the air. He gasped for breath, his face turning red.
The beggar’s eyes were red, and he said coldly, “Those who harm my daughter must die!”
“Crack!”
Boss Sun never dreamed that after so many years as a human trafficker, he would die at the hands of a beggar.
He didn't even understand how or why he died.
The open ground of the unfinished building was a mess. Seven corpses lay on the ground, all with wide-open eyes and bizarre expressions of death.
Little Zhou Ruoyu, only four or five years old, was too young to understand that the people on the ground were dead. She just looked curiously at the scruffy uncle walking towards her, her big eyes filled with confusion.
The scruffy uncle, resembling a beggar, crouched down, hugged Zhou Ruoyu, and murmured softly, “Don’t be afraid, daughter, Dad will protect you, Dad won’t let anyone hurt you!”
“Wuwuwu…” Zhou Ruoyu shook her head, unable to speak with her mouth taped.
“Dad will take you away, Dad won’t let you suffer any more grievances!”
The scruffy uncle muttered to himself, picked up Zhou Ruoyu, and walked towards the outside of the unfinished building.
…
Ten minutes later!
Two cars sped over and stopped near the unfinished building.
Ye Cangtian and his group got out of the car and immediately spotted the fake-plated Audi A6 parked not far away.
“We just heard that gunshots were heard from within this unfinished building. It’s highly likely to be Boss Sun and Jiang Tao,” Liu Zhendong explained after getting out of the car.
Regarding Ye Cangtian’s affairs, both Liu Ruomei and Liu Zhendong would treat them as the most important matters, which was why Liu Zhendong personally led the team this time.
Ye Cangtian nodded, “The car is still here, which means the people haven’t left. However, if there were indeed gunshots, it means there was a complication during their transaction.”
Director Zhou, who had been following behind, listened to their conversation, her face turning even paler. She was now worried about her daughter, Zhou Ruoyu, experiencing any accidents.
The group continued to move forward.
When they reached a ruined building inside, they finally saw the gruesome scene.
Corpses lay scattered on the ground, each with wide-open eyes and a strange look of death.
