Chapter 158: Everything Under Control

After making the phone call, Guang Zi walked up to Chu Tian and said, "Brother Hai has already made all the arrangements. The Sky Wolf Sect has agreed to send out all their members."

Chu Tian nodded and looked up at the dark sky tonight. Perhaps tonight would be the night to swallow up the Jiang Gang. With nearly six hundred men from the Shuai Army, plus the followers of the Sky Wolf Sect and others, there would be over a thousand people in total. This force of over a thousand people was more than enough to attack the remaining three hundred or so members of the Jiang Gang.

A few minutes later, suddenly Guang Zi's phone rang. After listening, Guang Zi told Chu Tian, "Third brother, as you expected, the reinforcements for Zhao Fengxiang are already on their way. There are about a hundred and more of them." Then, Guang Zi hesitated for a moment and said, "Third brother, aren't you afraid that the reinforcements for Zhao Fengxiang will turn back and go to support Zhangsun Jincheng?"

Chu Tian shook his head and said meaningfully, "The leader of the reinforcements must be Elder Zhao. Elder Zhao loves his son deeply. How could he turn back halfway to save that old guy Zhangsun Jincheng?"

Guang Zi seemed to understand and nodded.

Everything was as Chu Tian had expected. When Elder Zhao heard that his son was besieged, he immediately asked Zhangsun Jincheng for a hundred elite members of the Jiang Gang to rescue Zhao Fengxiang. When they were halfway there, suddenly Elder Zhao received a call from Zhangsun Jincheng asking for help. Elder Zhao looked at the dilapidated factory building not far away and abruptly hung up Zhangsun Jincheng's call. He drove towards the dilapidated factory building at full speed. For Elder Zhao, even if the entire Jiang Gang were to be destroyed, as long as he could save his son, it would be worth it. So he completely ignored the fact that the Jiang Gang was now in a desperate situation.

Zhangsun Jincheng angrily hung up the phone and cursed, "Elder Zhao really makes me so angry! So angry!"

Zhangsun Zijun, leading more than a hundred disciples of the Jiang Gang from Changfu Garden, said anxiously to her father, "Father, this is not the time to be angry. We have to hide quickly. The Shuai Army will soon attack Changfu Garden. We only have more than a hundred disciples of the Jiang Gang here. We simply can't withstand their attack."

At this moment, Elder Han, Elder Lin, and Lin Xiongjun, along with several of their confidants, also fled in a sorry state to Changfu Garden. Elder Lin said, "Brother, let's leave quickly. Now all the places and halls are being attacked. Zhao Fengxiang and his son have taken away more than three hundred people in total. We have too few people and they are too scattered. There are only about two hundred disciples of the Jiang Gang in all the halls and business establishments in the entire urban area. We simply can't withstand their premeditated attack. Let's retreat quickly. Otherwise, once Chu Tian surrounds Changfu Garden, we won't be able to escape at all."

Zhangsun Jincheng gritted his teeth and repeated the name "Chu Tian" once, then said hatefully, "Retreat."

Just as Zhangsun Jincheng and the others walked out of Changfu Garden, they found that several guards at the gate were gone without them knowing when. Moreover, it was eerily quiet around. Zhangsun Zijun's innate intuition told her that there was danger, so she shouted, "Danger! Everyone, retreat back to the villa!"

As soon as she finished speaking, before everyone could react, many things immediately "whooshed" through the air around them. More than twenty disciples of the Jiang Gang in the front were immediately hit. Zhangsun Zijun saw that they were all throwing knives. Without having time to take a closer look, she protected Zhangsun Jincheng and the others and entered the villa. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" came the sounds of countless throwing knives piercing the tranquility of the night sky and shooting over. More than a dozen disciples of the Jiang Gang who were slower to escape were immediately hit again. At this moment, a shout of "Charge!" resounded through Changfu Garden, and more than a hundred brothers of the Shuai Army immediately appeared and swarmed towards the gate of the villa.

Zhangsun Zijun shouted angrily, "Hold your ground! Hold your ground for me!"

Some disciples of the Jiang Gang quickly turned back to resist. For a moment, the sounds of "clang, clang, clang" kept ringing out as both sides fought desperately. With a whistle, the brothers of the Shuai Army who were fighting in the front immediately moved slightly to the side, making way. Then the brothers of the Shuai Army behind them, holding long spears, took advantage of the fight between their own brothers and the Jiang Gang disciples and filled the gap. They stabbed a spear into the chest of a Jiang Gang disciple who was off guard. In an instant, more than a dozen Jiang Gang disciples who were fighting and resisting at the gate fell down.

Inside the villa, Elder Lin and the others showed signs of anxiety on their faces. Lin Xiongjun originally wanted to rely on his own martial arts skills and lead people to charge out. But in less than a moment, a disciple of the Jiang Gang came to report that this group of the Shuai Army was well-trained and extremely powerful. In just one encounter, more than twenty brothers of the Jiang Gang were injured. Now the two iron gates were locked, and it was estimated that they could hold out for a short while. If they didn't find a way to escape, they were afraid that they would be completely annihilated. As soon as Lin Xiongjun heard about the power of the Shuai Army, he immediately gave up the idea of fighting to the death.

Elder Han said anxiously, "Brother, let's leave quickly through the back door."

Zhangsun Zijun shook her head. How could Chu Tian not have thought of this? She said, "There are probably ambushes at the back door too. The reason why the Shuai Army hasn't charged in yet is probably that they want to drive us towards the back. That will be our grave."

Zhangsun Jincheng let out a sigh and said helplessly, "Let's go to the study. There is an underground passage in the study that leads directly to the mountainside five hundred meters away. It's just that we have to crawl out."

Everyone was overjoyed. It was good enough to be able to survive. They didn't care if they had to crawl or roll. So the remaining dozens of people of the Jiang Gang quietly left Changfu Garden, filled with nostalgia and reluctance.

Hai Zi and the other brothers of the Shuai Army who were lying in ambush at the back door waited for half an hour but didn't see Zhangsun Jincheng appear. They were puzzled. Could it be that the brothers of the Shuai Army in the front had been so powerful that they had killed Zhangsun Jincheng and the others? It couldn't be that easy, could it?

When Elder Zhao's car was one kilometer away from the dilapidated factory building, it was blocked. These were the cars that Zhao Fengxiang had stopped when he wanted to launch a surprise attack on Brother Cheng and the others. Strangely, the tires had all lost their air and the car was completely immobile. Elder Zhao had no choice but to lead his hundred or so men to get out of the car and walk. Twenty minutes later, they finally reached the dilapidated factory building. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they heard the disciples of the Jiang Gang inside shouting like pigs being slaughtered. Elder Zhao roared, "Hurry, open the gate!"

"Dad, Dad, are you here to save me?" When Zhao Fengxiang heard Elder Zhao's voice, he immediately felt a glimmer of hope. You know, the bricks under his feet had already been stacked a few feet higher, but the water was still rising slowly, and sooner or later he would be electrocuted.

"Fengxiang, don't worry. Dad will get you out right away." When Elder Zhao heard Zhao Fengxiang's voice, his heart broke. When had his child ever suffered such hardships?

More than a dozen disciples of the Jiang Gang immediately stepped forward to pull the iron gate. As soon as they touched the iron gate, there was a "zizz, zizz, zizz" sound, and the disciples of the Jiang Gang immediately cried out, "Ouch, my god!" Elder Zhao saw that the iron gate was electrified. Overwhelmed with anger, he shouted at the disciples of the Jiang Gang beside him, "Drive the car and smash that iron gate!"

The disciples of the Jiang Gang were slightly taken aback. Was Elder Zhao going senile? They said in a low voice, "Elder Zhao, our cars are all parked one kilometer away."

Only then did Elder Zhao realize this and roared again, "Then smash that iron gate with stones! Smash it open!"

Dozens of disciples of the Jiang Gang immediately took action. They carried stones and walked to a place two meters away from the door. Just as they raised the stones, suddenly they found that many stones and bricks were falling on their heads first. So these disciples of the Jiang Gang were hit by the stones thrown by Brother Cheng and his men and then also hit their own feet with the stones they were carrying. For a moment, there were continuous screams ringing out.

"Elder Zhao, long time no see. I didn't expect you to still be so hot-tempered," a voice slowly came from the third floor.

Elder Zhao looked up and his eyes immediately filled with anger. He said, "Chu Tian, it's you. You shameless person. Using such underhanded schemes, what kind of hero are you?"

"Elder Zhao, you're really contradicting yourself. More than three hundred elite disciples of the Jiang Gang of yours came charging in secretly. You tell me, with only more than eighty brothers like me and Brother Cheng, if we didn't do something, wouldn't we be hacked to death by you? If it were you, Elder Zhao, would you just sit there and wait for death?" Chu Tian stood on the third floor, holding a bottle of Zhuyeqing liquor and swaying as he replied to Elder Zhao.

The expression on Elder Zhao's face changed constantly. This Chu Tian was indeed difficult to deal with. So he said, "Chu Tian, if you dare to kill my son, I, this old man, will lead the disciples of the Jiang Gang and will kill you even if it means death."

Chu Tian smiled slightly and shook his head. He said, "Elder Zhao, didn't Zhangsun Jincheng tell you to go back and save the Jiang Gang on your way here? To be honest with you, we've held back your more than three hundred elite here. How many people do you have left in the urban area in total? I'm afraid there are less than three hundred. And I have six hundred men in the Shuai Army, plus the Sky Wolf Sect and others. There are at least a thousand of us. You can imagine the result of us dealing with your three hundred men."

Zhao Fengxiang in the factory building courtyard, Elder Zhao outside, and the disciples of the Jiang Gang were all greatly shocked when they heard Chu Tian's words. In this way, the Jiang Gang was in danger. They couldn't help but secretly sigh at Chu Tian's high intelligence and deep planning. There was really no one who could compare with him.

Although Elder Zhao was shocked in his heart, he couldn't be intimidated by Chu Tian like this. Moreover, his son was still inside. He said, "Chu Tian, no matter how well you've planned, you can't escape from this factory building. I, Zhao, am not someone to be trifled with. How could I come here to save people without having a trump card?"

With a wave of his hand, Elder Zhao revealed twenty disciples of the Jiang Gang behind him, all holding handguns and pointing the guns at Chu Tian on the third floor. Elder Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Chu Tian, I have these twenty men and twenty guns. Although their marksmanship isn't that accurate, it's enough to kill all of you. If you're smart, let my son out immediately and then let me take you to see Leader Zhangsun."

"Father, kill him! Kill them all!" When Zhao Fengxiang heard that his father had taken the initiative, he immediately shouted. Looking at the half-dead disciples of the Jiang Gang in the courtyard who had been electrocuted, how could he not be filled with hatred?

Chu Tian looked at Elder Zhao slightly and smiled faintly. He said, "Elder Zhao, you really underestimate me. In my eyes, these twenty men of yours are already dead men."

Elder Zhao was slightly taken aback, and so were the disciples of the Jiang Gang. This Chu Tian had such a big mouth. He was still so arrogant even when he was being pointed at by twenty guns?

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" came strange sounds in the air. Elder Zhao and the disciples of the Jiang Gang quickly looked around. Suddenly, countless screams of "ah, ah, ah" rang out. Elder Zhao looked in the direction of the screams and was filled with extreme fear. The twenty disciples of the Jiang Gang who had been holding handguns just now had instantly fallen into a pool of blood. There were four or five short arrows stabbed into their bodies, and it was obvious that they were all dead.

Guang Zi clapped his hands, and dozens of brothers of the Shuai Army stood up around the factory building, all holding crossbows, making people involuntarily feel afraid.

Elder Zhao looked at the twenty dead disciples of the Jiang Gang with a heartache and roared, "Chu Tian, you're really shameless! Shameless!" He seemed to have completely forgotten that his subordinates had taken out their guns first.

"Elder Zhao, you only have more than fifty men left beside you who can fight now. We can take your lives at any time. Moreover, your son's life is also in our hands. As long as we pour a little more water into the courtyard, I guarantee that your son will be electrocuted in a state even worse than a slaughtered pig. You can just wait to send your son, the 黑发人,to the grave as the 白发人," Brother Cheng always knew when to speak up and pointed out the real situation to Elder Zhao. He said, "Besides, after tonight, the Jiang Gang will be destroyed. You shouldn't have any more hopes of getting away with it."

"What do you want?" When he heard that his son's life was in danger, Elder Zhao became a little flustered. He only had this one son. How could he not cherish him?

"Put down your weapons and surrender to the Shuai Army." Brother Cheng decided to flatter Chu Tian. He had just realized that Chu Tian was really a good backer. Relying on him, he could bully others and show off without having to worry about being bullied.

Elder Zhao looked at the disciples of the Jiang Gang beside him. Their fighting spirit was already completely gone. He then looked at the crossbowmen around the factory building and let out a sigh. To save his own life, his son's life, and the lives of the brothers of the Jiang Gang tonight, it seemed that surrender was the only option. So he nodded and said to the disciples of the Jiang Gang beside him, "For the sake of everyone's lives, let's surrender." There was a bit of sadness in Elder Zhao's words. After mixing in the underworld of Shanghai for so many years, this was the first time he had said the word "surrender".

Brother Cheng shouted again, "If you surrender, throw all your weapons into the courtyard." Brother Cheng had thought it through carefully. He was afraid that these people might suddenly rise up in resistance again. Chu Tian gave Brother Cheng an approving look.

Elder Zhao nodded and asked the brothers of the Jiang Gang to throw all their weapons into the courtyard. Then he said, "Now can I see my son?"

Guang Zi clapped his hands again. More than fifty of Brother Cheng's subordinates suddenly appeared around Elder Zhao and the brothers of the Jiang Gang, all holding sharp machetes and guarding them. At this moment, Elder Zhao and the brothers of the Jiang Gang were glad that they had surrendered. This Chu Tian really had everything arranged perfectly, making it difficult for others to deal with him.

The iron gate was finally opened, and the electricity was turned off. Zhao Fengxiang quickly stood on tiptoe and jumped out like a rabbit. He rushed to Elder Zhao's side and shouted, "Father, let's leave quickly." Then his face darkened. Obviously, he had already seen the more than fifty shining machetes around. Moreover, when the crossbowmen around the factory building heard Zhao Fengxiang's words, they quickly raised their crossbows and pointed them at Elder Zhao and the others.

Elder Zhao shook his head. Running away now was simply asking for death. "We have already surrendered, and we can't go back on our word. Otherwise, we will really be laughed at."

Chu Tian smiled slightly and said loudly, "Since Elder Zhao is sincerely cooperating, we are all friends now. Then come up and have a glass of wine."
