Chapter 131 Human Nature and Interests

Lu Chengwen heard the gunshots and instinctively rushed toward the sound with Zhao Gang and Jiang Shihan.

He could hear the group of people laughing loudly from afar, one gunshot after another.

When Lu Chengwen got closer, he saw a dark figure, covered in blood, almost dead.

Huo Wendong was still laughing, directing his men to take turns torturing the dying man.

Huo Wendong was startled.

Doing this kind of murder and abuse in the mountains, absolutely couldn't let a third... outsider know.

If they knew, it meant someone had witnessed his crime, and it was a serious crime.

Everyone raised their muzzles and looked at Lu Chengwen with fear.

Zhao Gang also quickly raised his gun and roared, "Don't move! Whoever moves, I'll kill them!"

Huo Wendong saw that Lu Chengwen was only with Zhao Gang and Jiang Shihan, who was already so scared that her face was pale and she could barely stand, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Lu Chengwen, damn it, you're everywhere!"

Jin Tuo Wang didn't expect Lu Chengwen to be here.

He weakly opened his eyes a crack and saw Lu Chengwen standing above his head, holding a gun and confronting Huo Wendong and his men.

Lu Chengwen said nervously, "Wendong! Why are you killing people while hunting?"

"Damn it!" Huo Wendong picked up his gun and walked a few steps, kicking Jin Tuo Wang in the face, "I killed him, so what? Are you not happy?"

Lu Chengwen knew he was outnumbered, heso tried to persuade him, "Old classmate, let him go, he shouldn't have provoked you, right? He's just a wild man from the mountains, it's not worth it!"

"Ah, you're right!" Huo Wendong laughed, "He didn't provoke me, but you! Lu Chengwen! You damned bastard, you colluded with Leng Qingqiu to plot against me, how do I settle this account? You made me lose over 300 billion!"

Lu Chengwen said, "I was wrong about that matter, I'll buy that company back from you for 320 billion when I go back, will that do?"

"Damn it! You think I'll believe you?"

Zhao Gang leaned close to Lu Chengwen, "Mr. Lu, if we fight, we're dead! Let's retreat!"

Lu Chengwen felt guilty.

He knew that the first shot was accidentally fired by him when he was... doing things with Jiang Shihan.

[If he dies here, even if things are exposed someday, the whole world will think it was Huo Wendong who killed him, it won't have any impact on me.]

[But... I know it was me who fired the first shot!]

[Damn it! What should I do!? I'm outnumbered in these mountains! I'm dead if we fight!]

[Should I leave this man behind and escape?]

Lu Chengwen said to Jiang Shihan, "Shihan, go back to the car and get my water bag."

Jiang Shihan knew that Lu Chengwen was protecting her, making her leave first.

Huo Wendong raised his gun and roared, "Damn it, no one gets to leave! Whoever takes a step, I'll shoot him!"

"Huo Wendong!" Lu Chengwen roared, "She's just a girl, let her go! You hate me!"

"Lu Chengwen, are you an idiot? In this situation, can you guys leave? Shoot them!"

Lu Chengwen roared, "You dare! Damn it! I'm not a wild man from the mountains! I'm Lu Chengwen, ask around in Xuecheng, who doesn't know me, the evil businessman Lu Chengwen? Many people in my company know I'm hunting here, if I die here, the police station must investigate! None of you will escape!"

Everyone was stunned.

This was the truth, Lu Chengwen was a big shot, not just an ordinary thug, if you killed him in the mountains, his family might not find him for ten or eight years, maybe their whole lives.

If Lu Chengwen was killed, this mountain would be turned upside down looking for him.

At that time, this matter would inevitably be exposed, and someone would have to take responsibility.

And let alone Lu Chengwen, once an investigation was launched, Huo Wendong's team, who had also applied for hunting permits today, would be investigated!

This was a nail in the coffin, if this group of people killed Lu Chengwen, they would inevitably go to jail.

And that person who had been shot so many times that he couldn't even count them would be dug up!

Four lives... no one could bear that!

Huo Wendong said angrily, "Don't be afraid, you're my brothers, I, Huo Wendong, will protect you, even the Jade Emperor can't do anything to you!"

Lu Chengwen quickly shouted, "You're all cannon fodder! Think for yourselves, Huo Wendong can spend 100 million to buy the lives of your whole family! He'll let you take the blame for him, take the bullets for him! But! I, the Lu family, will offer 100 million to find the killer! Even chase after your families. No matter how much he leaves for your family, as long as I die here, none of your family members will be able to live! I, Lu Chengwen, said it, who wants to gamble with their whole family's life against mine?! Who?!"

Now everyone stopped moving.

Lu Chengwen was bluffing, his family wouldn't retaliate against these people's families.

But at this moment, who dared to gamble?

Huo Wendong shouted, "Fire! Don't listen to him! Shoot! Shoot! Damn it, who are you listening to?"

Huo Wendong picked up his gun and pointed it at Lu Chengwen, "Damn it, I'll do it myself!"

Lu Chengwen suddenly recalled his Great Sage Subduing Tiger Fist.

He's a Soul Forging expert now, at this distance, he should be able to take him down in one move, right?

Lu Chengwen took a deep breath and lunged forward, Huo Wendong instantly pulled the trigger, but Lu Chengwen was already close enough, he knocked the muzzle of the gun up with the butt of his gun, and his shot went into the air.

And in that moment, everyone was caught off guard.

Lu Chengwen's deterrent power wasn't fake.

None of these people dared to be the first to fire.

If Huo Wendong killed Lu Chengwen, then Zhao Gang and Jiang Shihan would definitely die.

But Huo Wendong missed his shot, and Lu Chengwen had his gun pressed against his neck... the situation was completely different.

Huo Wendong didn't expect Lu Chengwen to be so skilled, so fast, in the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed.

"Hey hey hey, Chengwen, Chengwen, calm down, calm down!"

"Damn it, weren't you trying to kill me? Huo Wendong, what do you say now?"

"Chengwen, I... I... I was just scaring you, I didn't... I didn't want to kill this man, it was a complete accident, this guy was hiding in the grass, I thought he was some kind of big beast, I wanted to kill him and drag him back to show off. Chengwen, you know, with my status, I can't have a murder case. Chengwen... we were classmates, don't be impulsive!"

Lu Chengwen panted, "Make them put down their guns!"

"Put down your guns! All of you, damn it, put down your guns! Hurry up!"

Everyone didn't dare to kill Lu Chengwen rashly, and they didn't dare to let Huo Wendong die here.

They all lowered their guns.

Lu Chengwen shouted, "Zhao Gang!"

Zhao Gang had already rushed over, and even though his hands and feet were trembling, he quickly gathered all their guns, and let Jiang Shihan hold one and guard them.

He came to Lu Chengwen, holding two guns, one pointed at Huo Wendong, and the other pointed at Huo Wendong's men.

"Mr. Lu, what should we do?"

Huo Wendong said, "Chengwen, this guy is dead, we... we've shot him over a dozen times, you... you can't save him, he's just a wild man from the mountains, it's not worth it for us to fall out over him..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Chengwen smashed Huo Wendong's jaw with the butt of his gun, sending Huo Wendong crashing to the ground, his jaw bleeding.

"Watch him!" Lu Chengwen said to Zhao Gang.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, if he dares to move, I'll definitely kill him."

Zhao Gang stepped on Huo Wendong's chest, the gun muzzle pointed at his head, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not one of your cowardly subordinates who don't dare to shoot. You dare to move, I'll make your brains turn into fertilizer here."

Huo Wendong panted, "I'm the young master of the Huo family! If you dare to kill me, your whole family will be finished!"

"Damn it, are you trying to scare me?" Zhao Gang kicked him hard in the crotch.

"I'm telling you, in heaven and on earth, I only recognize Mr. Lu as my brother! What the hell is the Huo family, in my eyes, everyone else is shit!"

Huo Wendong saw Lu Chengwen checking the wild man's injuries, he whispered, "Brother, I'll give you one hundred million, come with me, how about that?"

Zhao Gang sneered, "Who the hell do you think you're talking to?"

"Five hundred million! One billion! Three billion! I'll give you three billion!"

Zhao Gang said, "Don't waste your breath, even if you give me all your fortune, I don't want it!"

Huo Wendong said angrily, "What has Lu Chengwen given you? Huh?!"

Zhao Gang said, "Respect! Treating me as a brother, as family, as someone he's close to, that kind of respect! When everyone treated me like mud, Mr. Lu treated me like a person! When everyone treated me like a beggar, Mr. Lu treated me as a brother! When everyone treated me like a lackey, Mr. Lu treated me as a family! For Mr. Lu, I'd even shoot the King Yama! Let alone you?!"

Lu Chengwen turned his head and cursed, "Stop your damn chattering, you're acting like a big fool!"

Zhao Gang said to Huo Wendong, "Did you hear that? Mr. Lu doesn't want you to speak."

Huo Wendong was furious, "He's insulting you! You say he treats you like a person?"

"Mr. Lu treats me as someone he's close to!"

Huo Wendong's eyes widened.

Is he even making up excuses for himself?

You still say you're not a lackey? You're a lackey among lackeys!

The ceiling of lackeys!

A drizzle began to fall, washing Jin Tuo Wang's face.

Lu Chengwen looked, damn it!

Lu Chengwen was stunned, Jiang Shihan blurted out, "Jin Tuo Wang!?"

Jin Tuo Wang looked at Lu Chengwen, Lu Chengwen also looked at Jin Tuo Wang.

The two of them locked eyes and neither of them spoke.

[How is it him!? What is he doing in Idiot Mountain?]

At this moment, Lu Chengwen's heart also turned wicked.

[Jin Tuo Wang is my sworn enemy. Right now, in this mountain, I don't need to do anything, as long as I owe Huo Wendong a favor, watching him die, I can get rid of one enemy.]

[I don't need to feel guilty, I didn't kill him. Those last shots were all fired by these bastards.]

[Moreover, he's a person from a big organization, it's only natural that I don't save him... right?]

Jin Tuo Wang saw through Lu Chengwen's thoughts, he didn't say anything, he just looked at Lu Chengwen calmly.

Because talking was useless.

If he was destined to die, Lu Chengwen was the last person to witness his death.

Instead of begging like a coward, it would be better to die with dignity.

Jin Tuo Wang closed his eyes.
