Chapter 1039: I Don't Want to Die Yet!
"You said Zhong Fei went to Hao Jian's place?"
In the hotel, Madison squinted his eyes, glanced at Dan'er beside him, and asked.
"Yes, Boss."
Dan'er nodded. This news had just reached him, and getting this level of information in a paralyzed Hua City was quite difficult.
Upon hearing this, Madison let out a cold laugh and said, "I knew that guy couldn't be relied on. I didn't expect much from him, and now he went straight to Hao Jian's place..."
The original intention of cooperating with Zhong Fei was because of his conflict with Hao Jian. As long as there was conflict involving revenge, that guy would put in extra effort. But now he has succumbed to Hao Jian, it seems keeping him is useless.
Since he can't disgust Hao Jian anymore, this pawn is of no use.
"Do you need me to deal with him?"
Dan'er's expression remained unchanged, his ordinary tone making it seem like a casual matter.
Madison clenched his fists, his eyes flickered, and then slowly nodded under Dan'er's calm gaze.
"Leave this matter to you; try to fabricate the scene. I don't want to be detained by Huaxia's police when I return home."
"As you wish..."
After speaking, Dan'er grinned, his white teeth gleaming with icy coldness under the light.
To solve a Mayor in Huaxia, Madison had the courage, especially since people knew about Hao Jian and Zhong Fei's conflict. Even if Zhong Fei was found dead in the end, people would believe it was Hao Jian, as he had the greatest motive.
As for him, the outsider, it's unlikely anyone would believe he had the guts to kill Zhong Fei just after brief contact, right?
The Mayor of Hua City is neither too big nor too small. After all, with Hao Jian here, but being a ranked official is not something that can be solved easily.
Therefore, Madison had to rely on his trusted aide, as only he was trustworthy.
Moreover, years of experience told him Dan'er's methods were more skillful than those guys'.
........................
Regarding Hao Jian's mockery and ridicule, Zhong Fei still thickened his face and said, "As long as Young Master Hao doesn't mind..."
"I mind."
With an indifferent look and no fluctuation, Hao Jian grinned with a mocking smile and said, "It's best you keep quiet while my mood isn't too bad."
"I, Hao Jian, never have the habit of forgiving enemies..."
"Besides..."
At this point, Hao Jian paused, then showed a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, his gaze gradually spreading with mockery, and said, "Even if I let you go now, I'm afraid you won't survive tonight..."
"That old guy Madison is self-righteous and detests those who betray him. You've just hit that old guy's bottom line. If I'm not mistaken, the news of you coming to my place has already reached that old guy's ears, right?"
"So, as of now, once you step out of my territory, your life won't be yours anymore, and you might end up dead on the street."
With a grin, Hao Jian's smile at this moment looked to Zhong Fei like the God of Death's smile, his lips trembled, his legs weakened, kneeling on the ground, looking at Hao Jian with a terrified complexion.
His trembling voice came out, "Young Master Hao... I... you... I'm begging you! Just forgive me this once! I don't want to die!"
"I'm the Mayor! I absolutely cannot die! If I die, Hua City will be in chaos!"
Upon hearing this, Spice Ginger scoffed disdainfully, pointed outside the window, and coldly laughed, "Even if you're still alive now, Hua City is still chaotic. The true master of Hua City has always been Young Master Hao, only him!"
"This Mayor of yours might seem powerful in the eyes of the common people, but among us, even Madison the outsider doesn't regard you."
"You're not weighty enough!"
Each statement cruelly pierced Zhong Fei's heart, and although unwilling to admit it, Spice Ginger's words were entirely the truth. Even if he wanted power upon becoming the Mayor, in comparison, his power couldn't even surpass his Vice Mayor!
Under Guo Shuxian's command, he never worried about offending anyone because Hua City's troubles were not sought after him, but directly Guo Shuxian, for she was the actual Mayor, and he just a Deputy Mayor.
Power's magnitude and status cannot compare to Guo Shuxian. What's his purpose then?
Therefore, he eagerly desired to climb to the Mayor position to experience what it felt like!
Initially, he enjoyed people's compliments and reverence, but hours later, Hao Jian's appearance shattered his world.
Following Madison's appearance, further wrecked his already shattered world, adding pressure due to Madison's status.
Madison's pressure was even heavier than Hao Jian gave him!
Until the Governor's call made him realize Hao Jian's influence was even greater than Madison's.
That's why he fled to Hao Jian in fear and awe, without considering Madison's thoughts or whether Hao Jian would accept him.
In his mind, as long as he showed up, Hao Jian would surely give him face and spare him. After all, he was Hua City's Mayor, some respect was expected.
Only when he stood before Hao Jian did he realize that the man hadn't paid the slightest attention to him, the mayor, nor cared at all.
Only now did he remember, betrayal comes at a cost! And this cost, he couldn't afford! It might cost him his life!
The only person who could save him now was Hao Jian!
"Young Master Hao! Young Master Hao! Only you can save me now!" Ignoring his dignity, Zhong Fei prostrated himself, face full of fear. He had many years left to live, his son was still lying in the hospital, and there was that little secretary...
"Oh?"
Tilting his head, he slowly extended his hand and waved towards Zhong Fei, saying, "Spice Ginger, see the guest out. Make sure it's far away. I don't want any bad luck lingering at my door."
"Hehe, alright!"
Upon hearing this, Spice Ginger gave a sinister grin, grabbing Zhong Fei with a big hand and hoisting him up directly. With his current strength, not just one Zhong Fei, but even a few more wouldn't be a problem for him.
"Young Master Hao! Young Master Hao! Just listen to me for a moment! Save me! I don't want to die!"
"Master Spice Ginger, please, as you have a big heart, plead for me with Young Master Hao!"
Seeing Hao Jian actually close his eyes, and glancing at the door drawing nearer, Zhong Fei grew more anxious, turning his hope to Spice Ginger.
Although he didn't know Spice Ginger, seeing his behavior in front of Hao Jian, could it be that he held a significant status in Hao Jian's mind?
If only he spoke up, maybe he would have a chance!
"Just name your price; I'll give it to you right now! Whatever you want, as long as you plead with Young Master Hao for me, I'll give it to you immediately!"
At these words, Spice Ginger paused in his steps...
Noticing Spice Ginger stopping, Zhong Fei rejoiced inwardly, there's hope!
"Spice..."
Just as he was about to continue to ask Spice Ginger for help, Spice Ginger's words made his face turn as pale as paper...
"Say one more word of nonsense, and it won't be Madison's men dealing with you. I'll throw you off the building myself. I still have the nerve to dare kill a mayor..."
Emulating Hao Jian's cold glance at Zhong Fei, his icy tone made Zhong Fei feel plunged into an ice cellar!
"Gulp..."
Fearfully swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhong Fei's lips trembled, clamping his mouth shut tightly, not daring to utter another word.
"Bang!"
Casually throwing Zhong Fei onto the roadside by the building, without even looking at him, he left the place, but even as he departed, the mockery on his face lingered in Zhong Fei's eyes.
"Ha ha! Kicked out, huh?"
At a street corner, a common minivan was quietly parked, Dan'er's face showed ridicule as he coldly chuckled.
"Since you betrayed the boss, don't expect to live on!"
Muttering to himself, his expression suddenly turned vicious, seizing an opportunity, he hit the gas and drove fiercely towards Zhong Fei!
"It's over... it's over..."
Zhong Fei scrambled to his feet, walking in a daze, face full of sadness, the regret deep in his eyes clearly visible.
Why did he have to get involved in this matter?! If he had followed Guo Shuxian's advice at the restaurant, things wouldn't have turned out this way! Damn it, Zhong Fei, are you a fool?!
Cursing himself endlessly in his heart, he obliviously walked onto the road, yet he still didn't realize, just continued forward.
"Screech..."
Right then, Dan'er's van suddenly emerged from the corner, with its engine running at overload, the booming sound echoing throughout, causing the dazed Zhong Fei to suddenly snap back to reality...
"No!"
Coming to his senses, Zhong Fei saw this sudden scene, terror instantly spreading across his face, instinctively exclaiming, but it was all too late...
The van charged straight at him, giving him only the chance to utter one last word of life...
"Boom!"
The van directly knocked Zhong Fei flying, spinning a few times in the air before landing on the ground, his lips twitching, blood pouring out...
"Oh? Not dead yet?"
Noticing Zhong Fei's pained expression, Dan'er showed a look of surprise...
"Let's finish it off..."
