Chapter 167 Heavy Matters

Inside the Honglou Compound.

Lao Fei and his men, relying on their numerical advantage, quickly suppressed the human trafficking gang led by Xiao Kai and successfully pinned them down at the entrance of the main building.

"A Shui, take some men and check inside the building!" Lao Fei shouted.

"Okay, San Zhi Shou, you guys come with me." A Shui led six or seven brothers and rushed into the main building first.

At the entrance, Lao Fei, masked and pointing a gun at several human traffickers, demanded, "We're not gonna waste time. I'll ask one question: Where are you planning to send the goods?! Tell me the final destination!"

On the ground, Xiao Kai and the others, completely controlled, all lowered their heads, not saying a word.

Lao Fei walked to the left, raised his arm, and directly pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The human trafficker on the far left was instantly killed with a headshot.

Lao Fei moved forward again, pointing the gun at the second person and demanding, "Can you answer me?!"

The second person knelt on the ground, trembling, looking at Lao Fei with horror, biting his lip, somewhat hesitant.

"Bang!"

Lao Fei didn't think twice, directly shooting the second person dead, then stepped forward again, "Can you speak?!"

The third person suddenly looked up, staring at Lao Fei, sweat pouring down his forehead, and nodded towards Xiao Kai.

Lao Fei glanced at him, then stepped past him, pointing the gun directly at Xiao Kai, "I've been watching you for days. You're the leader, right?"

Xiao Kai raised his head, his fists clenched, staring at Lao Fei with wide eyes, not saying a word.

"Can you speak?!" Lao Fei roared.

Xiao Kai looked at him, his voice hoarse as he replied, "It's useless to kill me. I really don't know. The goods are all handed over to the head office, Wang Zhen, Bao Ge, and them."

"You're lying!" Lao Fei didn't believe it at all.

"Then just kill me." Xiao Kai wasn't stupid either. He knew very well that if he confessed now, he would definitely die.

Why would Lao Fei keep asking about the final delivery destination in this situation?

The answer was simple: these people had no intention of taking him with them, because that would be too much trouble. If they got the answer on the spot, they would definitely execute him right then and there.

So, Xiao Kai stubbornly replied, "I really don't know. Believe it or not."

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and Xiao Kai's left hand was instantly shot through, causing him to fall to the ground, howling hysterically.

"Are you going to talk or not?!?" Lao Fei bent down and roared, "Waste any more time, and I'll cripple all four of your limbs!"

Xiao Kai covered his injured hand, shouting back, "Come on, kill me!! Goddamn it, if you kill me, you've come for nothing!"

Fei Pingsheng looked at this clever rogue and knew very well that he was stalling for time, and he couldn't really kill him, because he was probably the only one who knew the inside story. If the other lackeys knew, they would have already spilled the beans.

"Take them away." Lao Fei called out to the brothers beside him.

"Get up!"

The men grabbed Xiao Kai and immediately prepared to evacuate.

Just then, A Shui ran out of the hall and said to Guang Tou, "...The goods are all inside, locked separately... Should we save them all while we're at it?!"

"Save my ass! No one can leave if we save them!" Lao Fei said in a low voice, "And right now, the other side doesn't know what we're doing, so we can't reveal our purpose. If you release the goods, the other side will definitely guess what you're here for."

"So many people, you're not saving them... they'll have to...!"

"We're not gods! If we have the ability, we can save them; if we don't, we can't put ourselves in danger." Lao Fei roared without any room for argument, "Quick, everyone retreat, now!"

A Shui was kind-hearted, and although he was reluctant, he didn't want to implicate his brothers, so he could only listen to Lao Fei and run towards the car as quickly as possible.

The group worked quickly, and the total working time didn't exceed ten minutes.

Lao Fei dragged behind the team, moving towards the courtyard gate while preparing to dial Su Tianyu's phone.

At that moment, a brother responsible for keeping watch outside the courtyard suddenly roared into the walkie-talkie, "大哥 (dà gē, Big Brother), Big Brother, someone's coming!"

Lao Fei suddenly turned his head, "Who?! Did the people who left earlier come back?"

"No, it's soldiers, there are military vehicles!" The brother on lookout immediately roared, "Coming from the south!"

Lao Fei was stunned, completely unable to understand why soldiers would come. Because the group had already scouted the area for three or four days before they started working, and they knew the location of every troop patrol point nearby.

Logically speaking, the people from the patrol points couldn't have arrived so quickly, and there couldn't possibly be any military vehicles, because the security situation here at night was extremely poor, and each patrol point had at most one squad of soldiers.

"They're here!" The brother on lookout outside roared again.

"Vroom, vroom!"

Before Lao Fei could give any response, a surge of powerful engine sounds suddenly erupted at the entrance, and a military pickup truck was the first to stop.

In the truck, four black soldiers directly set up machine guns, aiming at the inside of the gate.

"Holy shit!!!"

A Shui and the others looked at the entrance, their scalps instantly tingling, and they took a few steps back involuntarily.

"Get out of the car, Xiao Liang, get out of the car!" Lao Fei roared at the driver in the car.

"Bang!"

The driver reacted and immediately pushed the door open and rushed out, running awkwardly towards the open space beside him.

"Da da da...!!!"

"Bang, boom!"

Sure enough, the machine gun on the pickup truck, after turning its muzzle, immediately attacked the cars in the courtyard, to prevent Lao Fei and the others from escaping.

"Throw grenades!"

After A Shui and the others dispersed, they took out hand grenades and threw them towards the gate.

The pickup truck didn't rush in rashly, but moved slowly while shooting.

Lao Fei was a very cautious person. Before starting the job, he had personally squatted in this area for two days, and formulated a detailed action plan.

But sometimes that's just how it is, man proposes, God disposes. Lao Fei never imagined that Wang Zhen had actually arrived in Sirden yesterday, and had met with Edson, the rebel general in the Alan Town defense zone, today.

Lao Fei couldn't have known about this, so he couldn't have taken precautions in advance. So, as soon as the gunshots rang out, Edson, who had received a lot of benefits from Wang Zhen, immediately called the nearest garrison unit in the town and sent three trucks of soldiers who were on duty.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that the other side's pickup truck was blocking the entrance, Lao Fei immediately roared, "Forget the cars, escape according to the walking plan! Quick, retreat back to the main building, turn off all the lights!"

The men retreated on command, while A Shui personally held Xiao Kai hostage.

...

On the road to Alan Town.

Su Tianyu's eyelids twitched wildly, and he turned to Fang Zheng and said, "I have a feeling that something big is going to happen tonight."
