NOVEL WEB Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Want to Know the Result?
You have stories, I have wine. You have confessions, I have cigarettes.
It's hard to tell when exactly, but smoking and drinking have stopped being bad habits learned from elders by the young. Instead, they've become methods to release bitterness and adjust one's mood after gaining experience and personal growth.
Jiang Feng bought a pack of cigarettes from a nearby convenience store, took one out, lit it, and let the nicotine make a harsh circle in his lungs. Then, he stood motionless by the roadside.
Hm?
The black Hummer slowly following behind, the driver's brow furrowed: "Brother Hao, that kid is actually standing there not moving. Is he... purposely waiting for us? Could he have noticed us?"
The man referred to as Brother Hao was the top bodyguard around Jian Hongsheng. In his earlier years, he was a confidant for a crime lord in the South, having killed countless people with ruthless efficiency. Later, due to seducing the boss's mistress, he had a kill order on him and couldn't stay in the South anymore, so he fled to the North.
When he was at his most desperate, Jian Hongsheng took him in and let him hide his identity, keeping him by his side ever since.
Officially, he was the captain of the security department of the main group under Jian Hongsheng, but in reality, he helped Jian Hongsheng raise enforcers and was one of the most notorious tough guys under Jian Hongsheng!
"Drive over." Brother Hao sat expressionless in the passenger seat; even if the other party noticed, so what? In his eyes, Jiang Feng was destined to face disaster tonight; standing there cleanly waiting to be slaughtered might not be a bad thing at all.
In fact, Brother Hao still thought the boss was making a mountain out of a molehill. The opponent was merely an in-law of the Nangong Family, yet had him come in person. Wasn't this a waste, like using a bull's knife to kill a chicken?
However, he also heard that this fearless in-law had gone very far on the road to self-destruction tonight, daring to lay hands on Young Master Jian in public and even beating Young Master Jian's lackey. It's no wonder Young Master Jian was furious.
"Get in the car." The Hummer stopped in front of Jiang Feng. Brother Hao reached into his jacket, preparing to take out a gun to intimidate Jiang Feng. If Jiang Feng dared to play tricks, he wouldn't mind giving Jiang Feng an unforgettable lesson.
"Okay!" Jiang Feng tossed the cigarette butt and immediately opened the car door, lowering himself and entering. His movement was even quicker than Brother Hao imagined.
This?
Brother Hao was a bit taken aback, as were the driver and the two big men in the back. What was going on, wasn't the process a bit too simple and easy?
Brother Hao frowned, looking back at Jiang Feng, his intuition telling him that Jiang Feng's calmness was very unusual. But what exactly was wrong, he couldn't say. Could it be that Jiang Feng was already prepared?
Before coming, he had carefully investigated Jiang Feng's information, confirming that Jiang Feng was merely an in-law of the Nangong Family. Although some of his information was untraceable before Nangong Old Sir took him back to the family, his miserable existence and subservience within the Nangong Family were all thoroughly clear. How could such a pathetic waste have any tricks up his sleeve?
"To a place with no people." Jiang Feng spoke, his expression calm and indifferent, to the point where the two burly men beside him wondered if they were inviting Jiang Feng out for tea.
"Are you bluffing?" Brother Hao sneered maliciously: "Kid, I have to say you have guts, expecting us to come? Unfortunately, the consequences of what you caused today are not something you can bear. You, the entire Nangong Family, will pay a painful price!"
"Did Jian Yu only send you guys over?" Jiang Feng responded with a question, and his tone even carried a hint of disappointment.
"You son of a bitch! Who are you looking down on?" A big burly man was suddenly furious, reaching out to grab Jiang Feng by the collar.
"Stop!" Brother Hao commanded, then sneered and gestured to the driver, meaning to drive to the place they'd chosen.
This was also arranged by President Jian. It was a crucial time; President Jian's project was about to start, and at such a critical moment, it would be unwise to have any slip-ups. If they couldn't clean up the mess, it would cause trouble for President Jian.
The Hummer roared like a beast, speeding out, heading directly towards the edge of the city.
A whole thirty minutes passed before the Hummer drove into the outskirts.
Leaving the city behind, the view outside the car windows was pitch black.
The moon hid behind the clouds, with a bit of the dark, stormy night primed for murder.
Jiang Feng sat grandly between the two burly men, eyes closed, resting.
It made the two big men feel like killing, yet they didn't want to dirty the car, holding back all the while!
Jiang Feng's calm and collected demeanor always made Brother Hao feel something was odd, but he still took out his phone and sent Jian Yu a message, telling him the matter had been dealt with.
"Get out!" Gradually, the Hummer arrived at a desolate area. All around were endless fields, except for the occasional isolated village.
"You son of a bitch! Get out!" One of the big men jumped out first, snarling at Jiang Feng.
"Alright." Jiang Feng opened his eyes, glanced around, and then got out of the car.
"Kid, I've discovered you do have some guts. At this moment, you still act like nothing's happening?" The big men surrounded Jiang Feng menacingly.
"How did Jian Yu want you to deal with me?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Young Master Jian's original plan was to chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs, but I contacted him just now, and he's changed his mind."
Brother Hao said expressionlessly, "He wants us to cripple you, cut off your manhood, so you can stay alive, but never be a man again! He wants to see if that old bastard Nangong would still insist on marrying his precious granddaughter to a eunuch, and if that chaste Nangong Qingcheng would remain a widow for you!"
As he finished speaking, Brother Hao finally pulled out a gun from his arms, placing it against Jiang Feng's forehead, "Now, kneel!"
"Kid, I advise you to be sensible and not waste time." Another burly man spoke up. He pulled out a cold, bright machete from the car: "This grandpa's knife is sharp and quick. It'll be over in an instant. Your resistance will only add unnecessary pain—weren't you very arrogant in the car just now? Let's see if you can still smile now?"
Jiang Feng calmly said to Brother Hao, "What if I told you, two hours ago, someone also pointed a gun at me and even shot at me? Would you want to know the outcome?"
"What?"
Hearing this, Brother Hao's face suddenly changed. He stared at Jiang Feng in disbelief, "You, you say what?"
Jiang Feng didn't bother with nonsense. His hand moved like lightning, snatching the gun from Brother Hao's hand, then pointed the muzzle at his own temple and pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
This sudden scene directly scared Brother Hao and the three big men stiff!
However, an even more shocking scene happened next. Just when the scorching bullet was about to pierce Jiang Feng's head, Jiang Feng lifted another hand and caught the bullet steadily.
He opened his palm, placing the hot bullet in front of Brother Hao.
"Now, repeat what you just said to me?"
"Thud!!!" Brother Hao knelt down before Jiang Feng, "Brother, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. Even if you want me to immediately go kill Jian Yu, I won't hesitate!!"
