Chapter 110: The Conspiracy

Chu Tian didn't react much. He had no idea who Eight - Master was. However, Brother Huo's face twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "You mean the most senior and prestigious Eight - Master in Shanghai?"

Sister Li didn't seem surprised at all that Brother Huo knew Eight - Master's reputation. She nodded and said, "Eight - Master was once a well - known leader of the Green Gang in Shanghai. With his brothers, he managed to take over half of Shanghai in just three years. Later, he semi - retired from the underworld, and the Green Gang gradually declined. But Brother Huo is right. Eight - Master is still the most senior and respected fallen boss in Shanghai. Both the Axe Gang and the Jiang Gang in Shanghai have to show him some respect."

Brother Huo was a bit impatient with Sister Li's long - winded explanation. Looking at Sister Li's snake - like waist and slightly heaving chest, he couldn't wait to pounce on her. So, he urged Sister Li, "Sister Li, just tell us the mission directly. We live on the edge of danger. Since we've taken your money, we'll do our best to complete the task for you." Brother Huo's words clearly represented what the other killers were thinking. They were all introduced by Brother Huo, and out of respect for him, they felt embarrassed to ask Sister Li directly.

Sister Li gave a charming smile, put her arm around Brother Huo's shoulder, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll get to the point. At ten o'clock tonight, Eight - Master's two daughters will board this train and stay in the luxury compartment next to ours. Naturally, they'll have bodyguards with them. The five of you, tomorrow, posing as members of the Jiang Gang, are to knock down their bodyguards, then push the two girls onto the bed and have your way with them. The only thing to remember is not to kill their bodyguards or Eight - Master's two daughters. I need them to go back and cry to Eight - Master."

The five of them, including Brother Huo, had thought it was some extremely difficult mission that Sister Li had gone to such lengths to hire well - known killers like them. But now, hearing how simple it seemed and that they could have some fun with two young girls, and they were twins at that, they couldn't help but laugh. Some of them were already imagining the sultry scene.

Brother Huo laughed heartily, put his arm around Sister Li, and pinched her butt hard. "Is that all? It's really easy."

Sister Li seemed to have guessed what these men were thinking. She pouted coquettishly, "You guys are so bad."

After laughing, one of the killers had a question. "Are we going to do this in our true appearance? If so, won't Eight - Master be able to piece together our identities? Won't that bring endless troubles in the future?"

Sister Li stood up, touched the killer's chest, and with a flirtatious look, she giggled, "Silly boy, of course, you have to disguise. Just put on a pair of sunglasses and a mask. Anyway, with the flu going around, no one will say anything about you wearing a mask."

Brother Huo also cursed in a low voice, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Jiezi, how can you ask such a stupid question? In our line of work, the more mysterious we are, the safer we are. If it weren't for your excellent 'fast - knife skills,' I wouldn't have brought you here to make money. I'd just slap you back to go butcher pigs."

Jiezi lowered his head in shame. But after thinking for a while, he summoned up the courage to ask another question. "Sister Li, what if someone discovers us during the operation? Should we kill them or run away?"

Brother Huo laughed, patted Jiezi on the shoulder, and said, "Good question, Jiezi. You're really meticulous. I thought you could only ask those stupid questions. Sister Li, Jiezi is right. Give us some guidelines."

Sister Li leaned over and kissed Jiezi on the cheek. "You're such a good boy." Then she said seriously to Brother Huo and the others, "There are usually few idle people in this luxury carriage except the attendants. If someone really discovers you by accident, finish the job quickly and run away. But before you leave, be sure to mention the name of the Jiang Gang. Because our Jiang Gang is officially challenging Eight - Master and the Green Gang, and this is the start of the challenge."

Sister Li then handed a silver - colored token to Brother Huo, smiling. "Remember, after the job is done, drop this silver token. Make sure it seems like an accident."

Chu Tian was puzzled when Sister Li repeatedly emphasized the Jiang Gang. On the surface, Sister Li claimed to be from the Jiang Gang, but anyone with a brain could tell it wasn't that simple. If the Jiang Gang wanted to challenge, would they really use killers to target the two daughters of Eight - Master? Even if they really wanted to give Eight - Master a warning by targeting his daughters, couldn't Haizi and Guangzi just send their own people from the Jiang Gang? Why go through the trouble of hiring killers?

While Chu Tian was thinking, the people in the room had left, leaving only Sister Li and Brother Huo. Seeing that the others had gone, Brother Huo couldn't hold back his restlessness. He pulled Sister Li over and made her sit on his lap, then started groping her. Moments later, Sister Li was in a daze, gasping for breath, and murmuring, "Brother Huo, Brother Huo, come on, don't do this. We haven't finished the important thing yet."

Brother Huo pressed his lips against hers and asked with a muffled laugh, "Are you really from the Jiang Gang, Sister Li? I don't think so."

Sister Li tried hard to break free from Brother Huo's embrace, but Brother Huo's magical hands had made her whole body tremble. In a daze, she answered honestly, "I, I am, I'm from the Axe..."

"I don't care who you are. Anyway, I've taken your money, so I'll do the job for you." Brother Huo laughed heartily.

The words after that were no longer clear. Apparently, Brother Huo and Sister Li had gotten to the main event.

Seeing that there was nothing more to hear, Chu Tian quickly got up to stretch his muscles. Just as he reached the connection between the carriages, he saw Tian Yangsheng standing there motionless, obviously keeping watch for him.

Chu Tian nodded to show his gratitude, then returned to his hard - seat carriage. He found that everyone was resting with their eyes closed. When he reached his seat, he saw several men who looked like migrant workers lying there. Chu Tian patted them, and when they saw the owner of the seat coming back, they immediately wiped the place where they had lain with their clothes, stood up obediently, and moved aside. Chu Tian sighed. They were the most underprivileged group, with the most difficulties, but also the kindest and most honest. It mainly depended on how society guided and treated them.

Chu Tian threw ten expensive steamed buns to Tian Yangsheng and took out a pack of biscuits to munch on. Tian Yangsheng's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile when he saw that Chu Tian had also brought back ten steamed buns.

Chu Tian looked at the time. There were still four or five hours until Eight - Master's daughters boarded the train, which was enough time for him to come up with a plan. Chu Tian didn't call Haizi and Guangzi immediately. He wanted to find out more clearly before telling them, so as not to cause unnecessary panic. Looking at the energetic Tian Yangsheng, Chu Tian said calmly, "If you could be as plain and unadorned as your knife in normal times, and shine with extraordinary power when facing the enemy, that would be perfect." Chu Tian always felt that the aura Tian Yangsheng exuded could easily make opponents alert, so he said those words.

Tian Yangsheng was slightly taken aback. Then he thought about it, and realized that Chu Tian was right. A knife that always shows its sharpness all the time may not always be able to hurt someone.

Chu Tian had just closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, the aunt pushing the food cart came over. "Boxed meals are 10 yuan. We also have cigarettes, beer, mineral water, milk, peanuts, and eight - treasure porridge." In the carriage, passengers from all over were huddled together in all positions. Some were leaning against the window, some were lying on the small table. A few "chain - smokers" were standing by the carriage door, smoking. Hearing the aunt's call, it was like a drop of water falling into a calm pan of oil. The carriage became lively again. But only a few people bought food from the aunt. The others took out the dry rations they had prepared in advance, such as instant noodles, biscuits, peanuts, and bread, and started to fill their stomachs.

Chu Tian opened his eyes resentfully and looked at the scenery along the railway line, which was gradually lit up by the evening lights.
