Chapter 469: The One-Handed Rule

"Feige!"

"Avenging our boss!"

"Avenging Feige!"

The chaos had only just begun when both Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei were suddenly taken out, leaving everyone stunned. Even Ye Hailong was dumbfounded; when did his subordinates become so formidable?

It was one thing for Luo Gang to take down Liao Pengfei, as he had a reasonable chance of winning, but Wang Hu had been eliminated too? Ye Hailong had fought with Wang Hu for over ten years, and Wang Hu had always been fine, only to fall here, and he fell fatally!

But there was no time for contemplation now. With Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei both down, the members of the Tiger Gang initially panicked. However, under the roar of some leaders, they quickly rallied, their eyes red as they charged at the Black Dragon Hall.

The Black Dragon Hall members were not to be outdone. They counterattacked swiftly. Ye Hailong suppressed his excitement and urged his men to expand their advantage quickly, aiming to crush the Tiger Gang and consolidate their gains before New Yian could react.

Ye Hailong was determined to seize this opportunity and take a big bite out of the Tiger Gang. If he could swallow the Tiger Gang whole, he would be in a stronger position to compete with New Yian.

However, Ye Hailong's ambitions were ill-placed; everything happening was under Luo Gang's control.

With the Tiger Gang's leader and a key figure eliminated, the path was clear for Xia Lei. However, the Black Dragon Hall's strength also needed to be weakened.

During the ongoing melee, two gunshots rang out, and the chaos momentarily froze. Shouts of alarm followed: "Gunshots, take cover!"

"Blood Wolf!"

"Lord Long!"

"Damn it!"

Xiao Wu was the first to react, instinctively looking at Ye Hailong, who was clutching his arm, a pained expression on his face, and his clothes stained with fresh blood, clearly having been shot.

Luo Gang, on the other hand, lay stiffly on the ground, his eyes wide in disbelief, a fresh red bullet hole glaring on his shiny bald head.

"Bang bang bang!"

Xiao Wu dropped his long knife, drew two guns, and fired several shots at the Tiger Gang's side, then covered Ye Hailong's retreat.

"Wuwuwu…"

At this moment, faint sirens could be heard from a distance, causing the stunned gang members to panic.

Some even dove into alleyways, preparing to flee.

Xia Lei roared, leading the Tiger Gang members in their retreat.

"Brothers, retreat!"

On the other side, Black Dragon Hall members, no longer willing to fight, dragged their fallen comrades and quickly withdrew.

When a large group of police arrived, the area was left in disarray, with scattered weapons and blood-stained ground.

...

Meanwhile, at New Yian, Wu Sihai and others were waiting in the sub-hall. Soon, they received a call from their subordinates who were monitoring the situation on Yat Kai Old Street.

As soon as he answered, Wu Sihai stood up in shock, exclaiming, "What? Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei were taken out on the spot?"

"I understand!"

Wu Sihai, being an old hand, knew not to miss the opportunity. He immediately hung up and turned to his equally shocked key subordinates, saying, "Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei are dead; we can't wait any longer. It's our turn to make a move!"

"Let's go!"

Without waiting for a response, Wu Sihai led his men out. He wanted to personally command this battle to be completely assured.

Just as they reached the entrance, a sudden "bang!" of metal hitting the ground froze Wu Sihai. He quickly retreated behind the door.

Wu Sihai grabbed a round shield from the door and threw it out.

"Bang!"

"Hiss…"

Another gunshot rang out, the shield in mid-air shattered into pieces. Wu Sihai took a deep breath, realizing the shooter was an expert marksman—definitely a sharpshooter!

"Boss, there's a sniper blocking the door!"

Zhou Jiangliu, who was agitated, fanned himself rapidly, his face serious as he said.

As Zhou Jiangliu spoke, some of the gang members sought shelter while others attempted to rush through but were shot down instantly, scaring the others into retreat.

"Ah Kuan!"

Seeing his capable subordinate shot in the head and lying at the door, He Wenzhong clenched his teeth, veins bulging, and was even more reluctant to go outside.

"Let's go, use the back door!"

Wu Sihai ordered, leading his men to the back door. However, just as he cautiously extended one foot outside, another "bang!" sounded as a bullet hit the ground, ricocheting off the wall by the door and landing at Wu Sihai's feet.

Looking at the yellow bullet casing, Wu Sihai couldn't help but swallow nervously, withdrawing his foot, feeling both anxious and frustrated.

A sniper blocked the front door, and now there was one at the back too!

"Which friend in the underworld is this? Do I, Wu, have a grudge against you?"

Wu Sihai, with a cold expression, shouted loudly, his eyes scanning the direction of the gunshots through the gap.

Unfortunately, Luo Gang's people were no fools and did not respond to Wu Sihai's probing, making him even more irritable.

"Boss, he doesn't want us to get out!"

Zhou Jiangliu, with narrowed eyes, calmly analyzed.

"With the sniper's marksmanship, he shouldn't have just shot at the ground. Since they did it twice without killing us, it means they have no grudge against us."

"It seems the conflict between the Tiger Gang and Black Dragon Hall is suspicious. I said Wang Hu and One-Eyed Dragon shouldn't have started an all-out war out of nowhere; someone must be manipulating behind the scenes."

Wu Sihai, with a dark face, slightly nodded in agreement with Zhou Jiangliu's analysis. As a district leader, he was well-versed in the ways of conflict and couldn't fail to notice something was amiss.

"Forget it, let's go back and give up this opportunity!"

Wu Sihai took a deep breath and said coldly, then turned and walked back inside.

Although Gao Feng and He Wenzhong were deeply unwilling, they understood that with snipers blocking the door, it was impossible to leave without dealing with them.

Moreover, since there were snipers blocking the doors, the mastermind behind the scenes definitely didn't want them to interfere in the conflict between Black Dragon Hall and the Tiger Gang. In a situation where the enemy was hidden and they were exposed, rashly intervening could lead to unpredictable consequences and even life-threatening risks.

They hadn't forgotten that the phone call had said Wang Hu, the Tiger Gang's leader, and senior Liao Pengfei had been taken out. The mastermind was definitely a force to be reckoned with. If New Yian disrupted their plans, the mastermind might very well eliminate them as well.

Facing their own safety, they had to endure, despite their reluctance.

"Bang!"

Back in the main hall, Wu Sihai, feeling frustrated, took a sip of cold tea and then threw the cup to the ground.

Frustrating!

After decades in the underworld, this was Wu's first time feeling so helpless, blocked at the door! How could he face others?

"I want to see who is so bold to scheme against all three of us at once. Do they think Kowloon City is empty?"

Wu Sihai said angrily. If he found out who was behind it, he would never let them off easily!

Did they think Wu was running a charity? He wouldn't be easily bullied!

That night, police sirens wailed throughout Kowloon City, and officers patrolled the area, causing all gangs to hide obediently.

Such a major incident meant the police had to deliver results, and the gangs certainly didn't want to suffer for someone else's actions!

As for the Tiger Gang members, after Xia Lei stepped up, they were quickly gathered by him.

His authority was already high, and with the deaths of Wang Hu and Liao Pengfei, he was now respected as the leader. Although some ambitious individuals were dissatisfied, under Xia Lei's leadership, everyone obediently followed his commands.

Xia Lei, having prepared in advance, began to organize the Tiger Gang methodically.

As for the police?

With Xia Yu's assurance, he had no worries!
