Wei Jie
Chapter 200 Carrying the Weight of the Bet, Only a Desperate Fight Would Suffice
Su Tianyu sat in the car, his brow furrowed as he dialed Yu Mingyuan's number. He spoke directly, "No matter what you do, you have to get the higher-ups to wait. Wei Xiangzuo isn't finished yet."
"The coast guard, police from two districts, the police department, they're all waiting. The emergency lines are about to explode. If something like this happened in the Hua district, the judicial department would send tanks into the city to flatten everything." Yu Mingyuan lowered his voice and replied, "Is Wei Xiangzuo even capable? Director Lin has already used words to insult my father. I'm telling you, if we can't get this done tonight, my whole family will be finished. Do you understand?"
"I understand, but Wei Xiangzuo hasn't finished."
"...How long will it take?!"
"Wait a little longer. I don't know the exact time." Su Tianyu gritted his teeth and replied, "But I trust him. I spent two days with him in Sinaloa. He's a man who knows what he's doing."
"Okay, I trust you." Yu Mingyuan gritted his teeth. "Give me a call as soon as you have news."
"Okay!"
After saying that, the two ended the call.
Inside the car, Su Tianyu, unusually agitated, wiped the sweat from his forehead and lit a cigarette. In fact, at this moment, he felt a surge of impulsiveness, wanting to enter the port to help Wei Xiangzuo, even wanting to mobilize the Su, Bai, and Kong families, who had remained inactive, into the port.
But this thought was quickly suppressed by reason. He had a principle in his heart, which was that, given his current situation, he absolutely could not personally engage in close combat in the city, let alone frequently get his hands dirty. Sooner or later, he would be finished. Furthermore, he would not allow the Su family to do so, because they were simply too small.
He couldn't be impulsive, absolutely not!
...
Inside Tianhong Port, Xu Hu, who didn't have time to escape by car, ran on foot for a good half of the street before finally meeting up with Wei Xiangzuo.
By this time, Xu Hu was already running out of strength, panting heavily as he looked at Wei Xiangzuo, who had only brought six men with him. He immediately roared with his knife in hand, "Damn it, brothers, we're not running anymore! Bao Cheng is coming soon! Let's take him down!"
Xu Hu really couldn't run anymore. He raised his knife, pretending to attack Wei Xiangzuo.
"Big Brother, he's already at the end of his rope. You don't need to confront him." A sensible brother stopped Xu Hu. "You go first. We brothers will hold him off."
"That's right, Big Brother, you go first and call Bao Cheng's men over."
"…!"
After a few people tried to persuade him, Xu Hu also took the opportunity to step down. After saying a few words in response, he left with four men.
Wei Xiangzuo held his knife and stared at Xu Hu's back with bloodshot eyes, quickening his pace again.
The two sides quickly met on the street. The other three men slashed at Wei Xiangzuo's head.
Normally, with Wei Xiangzuo's skill and ruthlessness, it would be difficult for two or three people with knives to injure or defeat him in an open area. A few days ago, when he dealt with Cheng Gang in the restaurant, there were nine people, and they only managed to stab him once.
But at this moment, Wei Xiangzuo was too anxious. He couldn't be held back, because these few minutes were a critical moment of life and death.
"Pfft!"
Two knives slashed down, but Wei Xiangzuo didn't dodge at all. He raised his left arm to protect his head, taking two hits, and continued to move forward.
Blood flowed down his arm, but Wei Xiangzuo only stared at one person and stabbed him directly in the abdomen. "Whoever fucking blocks me, dies!"
The four men were very close. Wei Xiangzuo's stab was solid, and the latter was knocked down on the spot.
Just then, two of Wei Xiangzuo's brothers also rushed up and madly slashed at the other two men from the side to help him.
"Bang!"
Wei Xiangzuo pulled out his knife and slashed at another person. The weapons collided in mid-air, and the other person's arm was visibly deformed by the force of Wei Xiangzuo's swing.
"Pfft!"
Wei Xiangzuo pulled out his knife, swung it, and chopped it again on that person's shoulder, kicking him away. Then, ignoring the blood on his arm, he roared, "Yuan Tao, hold them back for me!"
After saying that, Wei Xiangzuo continued to chase after him, and his brothers, despite being outnumbered, managed to hold back Xu Hu's remaining men.
Ten seconds,
Twenty seconds later!
Wei Xiangzuo caught up with Xu Hu again, and the other four men were in much worse physical condition than him. By the time they reached this point, they were almost completely exhausted. Their legs showed obvious signs of faltering as they ran.
Xu Hu turned his head and saw Wei Xiangzuo's figure. Despair was already evident in his eyes.
"What the hell is taking Bao Cheng so long?!" Xu Hu's brother's mentality also collapsed.
"You didn't kill me last time. Today, you're going to die." Wei Xiangzuo chased after him, ignoring the other four lackeys, and charged straight at Xu Hu.
The four men stepped forward, raising their knives to block Wei Xiangzuo.
Wei Xiangzuo suddenly stopped, creating distance between himself and the four men, clearly feinting at them on purpose.
"Swish!"
A knife slashed down from the left. Wei Xiangzuo dodged to the side, supporting his right wrist with his left hand, and directly flicked the short knife upward.
"Pfft!"
The knife landed. The other person turned to dodge, avoiding the cut to his throat, but his cheek was cut open on the spot.
"Bang!"
Wei Xiangzuo kneed the other person in the abdomen, sending him staggering back three steps.
"Pfft!"
When attacking, Wei Xiangzuo had been hunching over and shrinking his neck to avoid being hit in vital spots, but he still took a knife to the back. At the same time, he slashed at the wrist of the unstable man, directly chopping off three and a half fingers of his right hand. The latter cried out in pain and instinctively dropped his knife.
On the street, Wei Xiangzuo's eyes were bloodshot as he turned to look at the other three men, his voice hoarse as he said, "Come on, I'll fucking take all of you on!"
The three men looked at the blood-soaked Wei Xiangzuo with some trepidation. Then, after exchanging glances, they gritted their teeth and charged forward, including Xu Hu, who couldn't even run.
Under the dim light, the knives flashed, and screams echoed incessantly.
Fifteen seconds later.
Wei Xiangzuo stood leaning against a telephone pole. The other three lackeys, as well as Xu Hu, were all lying at the mouth of the alley.
"Tui!"
Wei Xiangzuo turned his head and spat, his cheek facing the streetlight, revealing a diagonal scar across his left face.
This was the cut that Xu Hu had made when he slashed him from the side. The blade had not only cut open the skin on his cheek but also scraped open Wei Xiangzuo's eyelid. His left eye was bloodshot and filled with red liquid.
Wei Xiangzuo paused for less than a second, then picked up his knife and walked towards Xu Hu.
Xu Hu's right arm, leg, and abdomen were all covered in knife wounds. His body was completely exhausted, and he couldn't stand up. He struggled to move his body, looked at Wei Xiangzuo with his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Everyone says you're righteous…that you value loyalty, and that I, Xu Hu, am mercenary and a villain. But in the end…I'm the one avenging our master, while you're the one collaborating with the enemy…haha, that's humanity for you! Damn it, my biggest failure is thinking too highly of people!"
Nearby, a young man, seeing Wei Xiangzuo walking towards Xu Hu, immediately tried to get up, supporting himself on the ground.
"Pa!"
A slightly older man lying on the side reached out and grabbed the young man's arm, shaking his head and whispering, "Are you stupid?! At a time like this…don't you fucking get up!"
