Chapter 164: The Trump Card

Zhangsun Jincheng's face darkened. Pang Dahai had died just like that, at the hands of Chu Tian, the person he least wanted to see as the killer.

The faces of the disciples of the Jiang Gang darkened once again. The only master who could confront Chu Tian had been killed by Chu Tian. It seemed that they couldn't escape the fate of being cannon fodder. Perhaps the ancient saying was right: what's meant to be yours will eventually be yours.

Zhangsun Zijun also let out a long sigh. Although she felt a bit sorry for Pang Dahai's death, she didn't seem overly disappointed. She still had the trump cards in her hand, two trump cards in fact. Either one of them was enough to make Chu Tian die a hundred times, a thousand times, or even be completely destroyed.

Chu Tian retracted his gaze from Pang Dahai's body, turned to look at Zhangsun Jincheng, and said with a bit of weariness and sadness, "Zhangsun Jincheng, you should leave. Take your people and get out of Shanghai."

Pang Dahai's death really made Chu Tian feel a bit tired. A worthy opponent had died at his hands instead of having a drink and chatting about the underworld with him. Anyone would feel a bit lost in such a situation.

"Leave? We haven't killed you yet. How could we leave?" Zhangsun Zijun's face regained its murderous intent. Upon hearing Chu Tian's words, she immediately showed deep disdain.

Chu Tian shook his head helplessly, sat down on the ground with a thud, and softly hummed the tune of "Fishing Boat Singing at Dusk" that Pang Dahai had just played. The tune sounded vicissitudes, tired, sad, and drifted aimlessly in the air. At this moment, the disciples of the Jiang Gang around also seemed to feel a bit of sadness. The killing intent in their machetes gradually faded away. They thought of their relatives, their friends, and even the women they had spent an unforgettable night with.

Obviously, Chu Tian had seen the sadness in their eyes. He said to Zhangsun Zijun indifferently, "Zhangsun Zijun, if you have any other trump cards, just use them. Don't tell me you're going to risk the lives of the last few dozen brothers of the Jiang Gang. If you do that, even if you die, I'll still look down on you."

"Bang, bang!" The locked door was suddenly smashed open. Several disciples of the Jiang Gang behind the door were immediately knocked to the ground. They endured the pain and got up, scattering to both sides. Zhangsun Jincheng and the others couldn't help but look towards the door. Two guys exuding a chill and murderous intent were slowly walking in from outside the door. Their movements were slow, but everyone could feel the danger and agility emanating from them, like wolves carefully hunting for prey, ready to pounce at any moment.

Chu Tian smiled slightly as he watched Solitary Sword and Tian Yangsheng walk in. He softly uttered a few words, "Is it done?"

Tian Yangsheng and Solitary Sword nodded simultaneously. There were eight snipers in eight corners, with eight guns, and now there were eight corpses.

"Chu Tian, you only have two helpers? Where are your thousands of battle-hardened men from the Shuai Army? Where are Hai Zi and Guang Zi? Are they really so heartless as to watch you die in the 'Devil and Angel' Entertainment City?" Zhangsun Zijun looked completely indifferent, as if Chu Tian, Tian Yangsheng, and Solitary Sword were already dead in her eyes.

"Why would I need thousands of brothers from the Shuai Army to deal with you? Eighty elite soldiers are enough to take your lives." Guang Zi suddenly appeared, followed by a group of fierce brothers from the Shuai Army. They were full of spirit, high-spirited, and their fighting spirit made the disciples of the Jiang Gang lose their confidence even more. Dozens of disciples of the Jiang Gang involuntarily moved closer to Zhangsun Jincheng. Besides the reason of protecting Zhangsun Jincheng, they also wanted to stick together to gain some confidence and courage.

As soon as the brothers of the Shuai Army entered the entertainment city, they quickly and skillfully surrounded Zhangsun Jincheng and the disciples of the Jiang Gang with their machetes glinting with a cold light.

When Zhangsun Zijun saw Guang Zi leading so many elite soldiers in, instead of showing panic, there was a hint of joy on her face. She even thought that the number of people who came was too small.

Chu Tian suddenly stood up, stared at Zhangsun Jincheng, and sighed, "Zhangsun Jincheng, I promised Hai Zi that I wouldn't kill you, and I also want to fulfill Pang Dahai's wish. You'd better leave."

Zhangsun Jincheng didn't say a word. Since Pang Dahai's death, his heart seemed to have died too. His kindness, for some unknown reason, flared up again. He remembered that he had made a request, which led Pang Dahai to travel thousands of miles to keep the appointment and engage in a fierce battle, sacrificing his life to fulfill his promise. Zhangsun Jincheng wished he could slap himself. If he had known this would happen, he might as well have let Pang Dahai spend his old age in the mountains and enjoy the peace of the world. Zhangsun Jincheng's self-blame then turned into a deep hatred for Chu Tian. The more he blamed himself, the sadder he felt, and the stronger his murderous intent became. So when he heard Chu Tian asking him to leave, he not only wasn't happy but even let out a few cold laughs, which sounded particularly eerie in the hall.

"I've already said that you, no, all of you haven't died yet. How could we leave?" Zhangsun Zijun shook her head disdainfully, then sighed, "Although Hai Zi didn't come with you, being able to kill all of you tonight makes all the efforts I put into carefully setting up this trap worthwhile."

Chu Tian shook his head again and didn't speak, looking a bit helpless. He waved his hand at Guang Zi, and a delighted expression immediately appeared on Guang Zi's face. Guang Zi roared, "All disciples of the Jiang Gang, listen up! Those who put down their weapons will live; those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy! Do you really want to follow Zhangsun Jincheng to your deaths?"

When dozens of disciples of the Jiang Gang heard this, they seemed unable to hold their machetes anymore. Looking at the menacing brothers of the Shuai Army approaching them, some of the disciples of the Jiang Gang involuntarily dropped their machetes to the ground, and then picked them up again. But everyone knew that they had no fighting spirit left. The only thing holding them back was a bit of loyalty.

"Hahaha!" Zhangsun Zijun laughed three times towards the sky, clapped her hands, and more than fifty people immediately emerged from upstairs in the entertainment city. They were dressed in the uniforms of the armed police and ran downstairs in an orderly manner with a "thud, thud, thud" sound. They skillfully surrounded the members of the Shuai Army. They were all holding identical submachine guns. After completing the encirclement of the more than eighty brothers of the Shuai Army, they immediately raised their submachine guns and aimed them at the brothers of the Shuai Army. The black muzzles made the brothers of the Shuai Army tremble involuntarily. But seeing that their leader Chu Tian still had a confident, resolute, and indifferent expression on his face, they immediately calmed down. Some of them still surrounded the disciples of the Jiang Gang, while others turned their machetes and faced the muzzles of the more than fifty armed police with a cold look, showing no fear on their faces.

"Your subordinates may not be afraid of death, but that doesn't mean they won't die." A voice slowly came down from upstairs. Chu Tian and the others then saw two people dressed in the uniforms of the armed police slowly walking downstairs. In front was a slightly overweight middle-aged man. Judging from his expression, it was clear that the words just now had come from him. His bulging beer belly was enough to show that he had a life of feasting and revelry every night. The other young man looked capable and thin, and he seemed taciturn. But his eyes were bright and sharp. Judging from his walking posture and vigilant eyes, everyone knew that he was a capable fighter.

"Anyone who dares to resist will be executed on the spot!" The overweight middle-aged man shouted again with authority.

Chu Tian smiled softly, didn't even look at the two of them, turned to Zhangsun Zijun, and said indifferently, "Zhangsun Zijun, is this your last trump card? Using the armed police to destroy us?"

Chu Tian thought to himself that he had overestimated what he had said to Lin Xiongjun. He had thought that Zhangsun Zijun would mobilize hundreds of soldiers to surround him, but it turned out to be just these more than fifty armed police soldiers. Chu Tian had indeed thought too seriously. You know, it was simply impossible to mobilize hundreds of soldiers in Shanghai to encircle and annihilate the underworld without coordination and cooperation from higher authorities. At most, Zhangsun Zijun had a wide network of contacts and knew some officials in the legitimate world. Besides, even if she knew some regimental or battalion commanders in the army, they wouldn't send troops for her or the Jiang Gang. That would be playing with their own future. The armed police soldiers were much easier to mobilize.

Zhangsun Zijun laughed and snorted, "It's enough to deal with you people. Do you really think you can break through the firepower of more than fifty submachine guns? Young Master, don't even dream about it. No matter how good you are at fighting, you can't escape from this gate. Even if you manage to escape alone, your brothers from the Shuai Army won't be able to get out." Then she turned to look at the overweight middle-aged man and said respectfully, "Captain Li, they are the gifts I'm giving you. They have killed countless people, engaged in mass brawls, and even call themselves the underworld. I think if you destroy a gang of this nature, you'll probably get a promotion and have a bright future."

Although Chu Tian had overestimated Zhangsun Zijun a bit earlier, he still felt a bit of admiration for her ability to stir up trouble. She always managed to find forces that couldn't be ignored to deal with you. Last time it was Director Huang who was about to be transferred, and this time it was the captain of the armed police. And she was doing it openly and justifiably, trying to take your life. This woman had such a wide network of contacts that she really couldn't be underestimated. She definitely couldn't be allowed to live tonight. Otherwise, there would be continuous troubles for the Shuai Army in the future. Who knew what kind of forces she would use to deal with him next?

When Captain Li heard the words "get a promotion," he was extremely delighted. He nodded and said, "Then I'll thank Miss Zhangsun for your kind words first. If it comes true in the future, I will definitely visit you to express my gratitude."

"Mo Yuntian, it's you? When did you transfer out of the army?" Guang Zi suddenly shouted in excitement. He had recognized that the young man beside Captain Li was once his teammate. He had even taken a bullet for him during a mission. He didn't expect that he had also transferred out of the army and joined the armed police. Although they were meeting in an opposing situation today, Guang Zi was still happy to see his former teammate and couldn't help but shout out.

Mo Yuntian obviously didn't expect someone to call out his name. After being slightly taken aback, he looked closely at Guang Zi and said with a mix of joy and surprise, "Guang Zi, it's you. Why are you involved in the underworld?"

Zhangsun Zijun and Captain Li looked at each other, their eyes full of questions. Mo Yuntian knew that his superior, Captain Li, had doubts. He took a step forward and explained, "Captain Li, he was my comrade-in-arms. We went through life and death together, and he even took a bullet for me and saved my life. I wonder if the captain can spare his life."

"No way. The members of the Shuai Army here must be taken back and imprisoned tonight. Especially Guang Zi, the third leader of the Shuai Army. I don't care if he leaves here safely, but I'm worried about Captain Li's safety. There's no guarantee that Guang Zi won't take revenge on Captain Li for his brothers and try to harm him." Zhangsun Zijun seemed to instantly become Mo Yuntian's leader and quickly stated the reasons why Guang Zi couldn't be let go.

Chu Tian secretly laughed to himself. The word "imprison" was really well-used by Zhangsun Zijun. I'm afraid that he and the brothers of the Shuai Army would die in some so-called "accident" like "playing hide-and-seek" within a few hours of being imprisoned. It was all just a formality. The real purpose was to completely destroy him and the brothers of the Shuai Army. Otherwise, how could she justify it to the Jiang Gang and the recently deceased Elder Lin?

"More importantly, do you want to let the underworld go?" Zhangsun Zijun's ability to raise issues to a higher level was extremely strong, no less than Zhangsun Jincheng's.

Mo Yuntian glanced at Zhangsun Zijun disdainfully and ignored this woman who was sowing discord. He looked at Captain Li again and said sincerely, "Captain Li, Guang Zi might have joined the underworld out of momentary confusion. I promise I can persuade him not to hold a grudge against you. Captain, for my sake, please spare his life."

Guang Zi sighed again and said indifferently, "Mo Yuntian, you don't have to beg them. Tonight is a matter of life and death. No one will spare the other's life. Guang Zi thanks you for your kindness."

"Miss Zhangsun's words are the same as mine. With Miss Zhangsun's cooperation tonight, we were able to catch these members of the Shuai Army red-handed. Their actions are so serious that all members of the Shuai Army must be taken back and imprisoned." Captain Li said without room for doubt, his tone full of authority. "Mo Yuntian, remember, you're just a team leader. Your task is to lead your people to obey, obey, and obey my orders."

"Yes, Captain." Mo Yuntian shouted helplessly, but his tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction. He thought to himself that after taking the members of the Shuai Army back and imprisoning them, he would find a way to rescue Guang Zi to repay his debt of gratitude. He absolutely couldn't let Guang Zi die.

Guang Zi shook his head and said to Mo Yuntian in a calm tone, "Mo Yuntian, thank you. But you don't have to worry about me. You should worry about your captain and these more than fifty armed police. Since we dared to come here, it shows that we're determined to succeed. Nothing can stop us from taking the lives of Zhangsun Zijun and the others. If you trust me, you'd better take your people and leave quickly."

Mo Yuntian's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Guang Zi was a man of integrity and wouldn't lie to him. But he was also in a dilemma. After all, Captain Li was his superior. He couldn't just lead his people away because of Guang Zi's words.

Captain Li smiled faintly, looking very strange, and said disdainfully, "You're still holding on even though you're on the verge of death? What's the use of saying these empty words? It depends on who has the gun in their hand."

"Yes, it depends on who has the gun in their hand." A voice came clearly from the gate, full of vitality.
