108: Chapter 108: Skilled and Courageous!

To the east of the county town.

Hong Cheng was at his own bar, where he had set up a table.

He had invited the Black Dog Quintet to discuss how to wipe out Wu Jie’s family.

Dealing with minerals, handling demolitions, intimidating opponents…

They specialized in shady dealings that couldn’t bear the light of day, solving many troubles for Hong Cheng.

Cheng Bao called, and Hong Cheng had listened for only half a second before he stood up furiously.

The audacity!

This damn Wu Jie was practically begging for death!

Hong Cheng immediately took his men and set out to kill them!

Meanwhile, inside the hospital room.

Cheng Bao put down his phone, staring blankly at Wu Jie.

“Jie, I’ve brought this upon myself by causing such a mess, and now I’m filled with regret!”

“We were classmates, after all.

What was I thinking to compete with you for Zhu Cui?”

“Even leading people to break into your house at night…

Now that I think about it, I was really too arrogant!”

“I believed those who called me a ‘rural tyrant’, thinking I could lord over others and act above the law!”

“I assumed you and your son were easy targets, and so…

Anyway, I’m full of regret!”

“I’ve realized my mistake profoundly.

Can’t we talk this out?

Name your price—how much compensation will satisfy you?”

Cheng Bao spoke with humility and respect.

Whether he was stalling for time or not, at least his acting skills were quite decent.

Wu Jie crossed his legs and said with a smirk:

“Looking to pay off the debt and make peace?

Well, tell me, how much are you willing to pay?”

Cheng Bao raised his right hand, showing all five fingers.

“Fifty thousand, how about that?”

Pfft!

Wu Jie burst into laughter.

“If you think that’s too little, then you name your price,” Cheng Bao hurriedly offered.

Unable to suppress his laughter, Wu Jie waved his hands dismissively.

It’s exasperating to compare oneself with others!

When Tang Xiao negotiated with Wang Kun, Wang Kun had started the bidding at one million, and that was in euros.

But Cheng Bao?

Fifty thousand… Was he tossing change to a beggar?

Cheng Bao, a bit nervous, looked at Wu Jie and spontaneously raised his offer.

“Jie, how about two hundred thousand then?

I know this whole affair has had a bad impact on you and your family, nearly costing all your lives…”

Wu Jie suddenly looked up, his smiling face gone as he glared at Cheng Bao with narrowed eyes.

“My family was nearly killed, and you think offering two hundred thousand makes it okay?

Are you saying a life is only worth fifty thousand?”

“If that’s the case, I’ll give you fifty thousand to go and pull out your dad’s oxygen tube!”

“If you manage to take down Hong Cheng later, I’ll add two hundred thousand as a bonus, how’s that?”

Wu Jie’s tone was flippant, as if he was joking.

But…

Cheng Bao couldn’t muster a smile.

“What’s the matter?

Why the daze?

Wasn’t it you who said a life is worth fifty thousand?”

Wu Jie’s voice rose in pitch, his tone growing more menacing.

Cheng Bao instantly caved in.

“I was wrong, Jie!

You name the price, I’ll pay whatever you ask!!”

“Name your price, my ass!” Wu Jie snorted coldly.

“You don’t need to stall for time with me; Hong Cheng’s arrival won’t save you!”

With a sorrowful face, Cheng Bao pleaded, “Then…

would four million be okay with you?”

Wu Jie gave Cheng Bao a dismissive look.

“Quit playing the pity card!

If I let you off today and you hire someone to kill my family tomorrow, what good is the money if we’re dead!”

Cheng Bao really felt like crying but had no tears.

“No, of course not!

How could I possibly seek revenge after this?”

“Remember what you promised in the Zhu family courtyard in Dongfeng Village?” Wu Jie stared coldly at Cheng Bao.

“But that very night, you came for revenge with Liu Er and his gang, so I wouldn’t believe a single punctuation mark in your words!”

“I…”

Cheng Bao hung his head and gritted his teeth, hoping desperately for Hong Cheng to arrive with his men.

At the hospital entrance.

A Mercedes-Benz van slowly drove in.

On the way, Hong Cheng had agreed on a price.

Six hundred thousand to take down Wu Jie alone—no need to kill him, just leave him permanently disabled.

A group of people hurried upstairs, and as soon as they entered the ward, the last person willingly closed the door behind them.

Cheng Bao rolled out of bed like lightning and hid beside the window sill, feeling that being separated from Wu Jie by a hospital bed made him quite a bit safer.

Hong Cheng stopped at the entrance of the ward and lit up a cigarette.

The other four men, however, immediately lunged at Wu Jie.

Not a word of nonsense!

Absolutely no dragging their feet!

They aimed for quick, accurate, and ruthless action.

This time, Hong Cheng was determined to be ruthless.

No matter what Wu Jie pulled out, be it a fake grenade or whatever, they had to cripple him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to quell the hatred in his heart!

However, Wu Jie suddenly rose to his feet, and like throwing darts, he shot syringes with incredible precision, hitting his targets.

The four men, who just moments ago were as fierce as dragons and tigers, instantly froze in place like they were struck by a paralysis point, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Before Hong Cheng and the one guarding the door could react, they each took a hit as well.

The whole process happened so fast that Cheng Bao was utterly shocked.

Just as he was about to press the call bell, he too was struck by a needle.

His entire body went numb!

He convulsed continuously!

Hong Cheng collapsed to the floor, curling up into a ball, realizing he hadn’t passed out nor lost consciousness.

His entire body felt like it had been continuously shocked with electricity, tingling and trembling.

He couldn’t speak, he couldn’t move, but he could breathe and see.

Right then, Hong Cheng could only watch helplessly as Wu Jie dragged the five people he brought over together.

Then, Wu Jie found weapons like folding knives on them.

He undid each person’s belt, handcuffed them all together, and only then did he pick up Hong Cheng and tie him to a chair.

Why tie him up?

Could it be…

Soon, Hong Cheng felt it.

The numbing, trembling sensation throughout his body was getting weaker, and he slowly regained control of his hands and feet, his neck able to twist around again.

A minute later, he was back to normal.

Apparently, the ‘darts’ Wu Jie had thrown were a kind of fast-acting paralytic, but the effect didn’t last long.

But the effect was astonishing!

Now all six of them were under control, only the fat-as-a-pig Cheng Bao still had his freedom.

But he was a complete wimp, of no use at all.

Cheng Bao watched as Wu Jie, holding the folding knife, approached Hong Cheng, and he went completely weak.

Damn it!

He thought his uncle would’ve brought some impressive experts who could easily take down Wu Jie.

But what actually happened?

Damn, the five men were ‘wiped out’ in less than two seconds.

With such formidable skills, no wonder Wu Jie dared to show off.

“You…

what are you going to do?

I…”

Just as Cheng Bao reached for the call bell, suddenly…

Whoosh—Thud!

A muffled sound, and Wu Jie’s folding knife plunged deep into the wall.

The spot where the knife was embedded was just centimeters away from Cheng Bao’s hand, which had been about to press the bell.

This strength…

This speed…

This accuracy…

It was clear that Wu Jie had not missed, but merely given a warning.

If he had really wanted to stab, Cheng Bao’s hand would have been nailed to the wall by now.

A master’s move, one that shook the entire scene.

If instead of anesthetic syringes, Wu Jie had thrown darts…

Would anyone in the room still have a way out?

Probably a dart through the throat, definitely not touching the chin, aiming for the left eye, surely not hitting the brow…

Hong Cheng was utterly taken aback.

If Wu Jie had such high martial prowess, what was he still avenging for?

The brave are fearless because of their skill!

No wonder Wu Jie was so arrogant; he had real ability!

In an instant, Hong Cheng completely lost hope and was seized with panic…
