904: Chapter 896: If You Don’t Seek Death, You Won’t Die!

904: Chapter 896: If You Don’t Seek Death, You Won’t Die!

The gunshot rang out, crisp and clear!

It shook the very soul!

Kong Heng, who had been spewing nonsense, suddenly fell silent in an instant.

Under the powerful impact and penetration of the bullet, he couldn’t keep his footing.

His left calf, hit once again, bore another small hole.

And the man, injured upon injury, staggered backward, nearly collapsing to the ground.

But…

After all, he had some skills; his physical fitness and balance coordination were still not bad.

Though somewhat disheveled, he managed to stand firm.

The women of the Kong Family tightly covered their mouths, tears brimming their eyes.

Wanting to cry out loud, yet not daring to make a sound.

Grief!

Despair!

Heartache!

They wept quietly, slumped on the ground.

While the other Kong Family men had long been petrified like statues, staring in stunned silence.

Stubborn and impulsive Kong Heng had met his match in the fearless Wu Jie.

Hence, this bloody farce before them unfolded.

If only Kong Heng had been a bit smarter, a bit more low-key, a bit more restrained…

Had he not cursed Wu Jie, not threatened his wife Tang Xiao, not spewed trash to insult her…

He wouldn’t be suffering this fate now.

Of course.

To expect Wu Jie to be low-key and restrained was impossible.

No normal man would ever swallow such a grievance.

Clearly upholding the law, weeding out evil by arresting Shen Liang, by what right should they surrender him to the Kong Family of Liuli City?

By what right should they bend the law for the benefit of the Kong Family of Liuli City, shielding a criminal?

Having done nothing wrong, yet still facing abuse, threats, intimidation…

If one could endure all that, would Wu Jie even be a man?

But…

The King of Tricksters was no idle title.

While most would rage uncontrollably and blow Kong Heng’s head off with one shot, Wu Jie did not.

To kill with one shot, wouldn’t that let Kong Heng off too easily?

How could they let such a profit-driven, radical, foul-mouthed scoundrel die quickly?

Without imparting a profound lesson, without inflicting tormenting pain, how could he be called ‘King of Tricksters’?

So…

Wu Jie’s consecutive shots were both delicately angled, targeting unique parts, merely hitting Kong Heng’s shinbones.

Inflicting wounds that were painful yet not particularly severe.

Such manipulation and torment, that was true cruelty!

This was what truly meant ‘to trick’!

It was precisely because they knew Wu Jie’s intentions that the Kong Family felt no choice but to watch helplessly.

Wail loudly?

Kneel and beg for mercy?

Speak up to stop it?

Violently resist?

It was all futile!

Kong Heng had already committed an unforgivable sin, daring to say he’d bind and violate Wu Jie’s wife Tang Xiao until her tragic death…

With such words spoken, who could save him?

The Kong Family of Liuli City was no longer as influential or powerful as before.

Nowadays, there were many who would kick a man when he was down.

Forget calling for help; not having a group come to flatter and inadvertently side with Wu Jie was lucky enough.

Therefore.

Why the tears?

Clamping a hand over the mouth, truly afraid to make a sound.

Should Wu Jie become angered, he still had thirteen bullets in his magazine, and just one shot would be enough to claim a life.

Between their own lives and family ties, the Kong Family naturally chose the former.

As for Kong Heng…

After taking a second bullet, the wound pained and burned even more sharply.

His whole body couldn’t help but tremble and shake, as if he might kneel at any moment.

But he did not; he endured it, standing up again with tremendous pride.

“Come on!

Continue!”

“I’m damn well crazy today!

I don’t want to live anymore!”

“After all, the grandfather who loved me most is cured only to face the death penalty sooner or later!

What damn point is there in living?”

“Come on!

You said you have plenty of bullets, right?

Hurry up and keep going!”

Wu Jie cracked a slight smile.

He didn’t fire a third shot.

His gaze was cold as he watched Kong Heng, observing his final defiance and arrogance.

“Actually, there was never any enmity between us!”

“I was born stubborn and never liked to flatter or suck up to anyone!”

“That’s why I was destined never to get along with you aristocratic heirs and young masters of wealthy families!”

“That martial contest we had a while ago, I was forced into it, your grandfather was just too enthusiastic!”

“He so wanted you to beat me to show off your superior martial arts, and to give him face!”

“I agreed to the sparring, but what about you?

I was yielding at every turn, yet you were still aggressive, as if you wanted to beat me to death!”

“I couldn’t take it anymore, and when I injured you, just as I expected, I was hated by your whole family and countless others!”

With a sheepish smile, Wu Jie looked at Kong Heng, who was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.

“I knew it; you all look down on me in your bones, despising me as a country bumpkin from a humble background!”

“People of value are those who know themselves, so from then on, I wanted even less to do with you high society types!”

“But you?

You’re far too full of yourself, with too little moral conscience and sense of discipline.”

“Do you really think you’re an imperial heir from ancient times?

Do you think having power, influence, and money means you can do whatever you want?”

…

Wu Jie’s successive rhetorical questions left Kong Heng’s face beet red.

Obviously, his IQ hadn’t completely evaporated.

He still knew that his past behavior was far too arrogant, practically disregarding the law entirely.

After a silence of two seconds, Wu Jie asked with a smile:

“Now do you realize you regret it?

You know you did wrong, right?”

“If you truly repent, honestly confess to your wrongdoings and hand over the illicit funds, you will definitely receive a lenient handling!”

“Continuing to point at your chest and shouting for me to shoot and kill you only makes you look foolish and brainless.”

“I don’t like this feeling of being forced into a grudge and then dispatching an enemy with a single shot; it’s just not satisfying, no sense of achievement at all!”

In Kong Heng’s eyes, a flicker of hesitation flashed.

The intense pain seemed to bring him slightly to his senses.

And the scared-silent Kong family members, hearing Wu Jie’s tone and observing his demeanor, also felt like he was persuading Kong Heng.

After all, their Kong Family case seemed to be concluded.

But…

How could decades of accumulation be so easily dug up and laid bare?

There still were many secrets and illicit funds, still some crimes and histories that hadn’t been unearthed and cleaned up.

Perhaps Wu Jie, as a member of the Security Bureau, was truly intent on persuading Kong Heng.

So…

What were they all hesitating for?

“Kong Heng!

What are you spacing out for?

Hurry up and apologize to Mr.

Wu!”

“Don’t be stubborn, apologize quickly if you’ve said something wrong.

Why insist on courting death?

Has your brain not been kicked by a donkey?”

“Apologize quickly!

Stop dawdling!

Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb, do it now, do you hear me?”

“You’re still young, you will have many opportunities in the future!

As long as the green hills last, there will be no lack of firewood!”

“Have you gone mute?

Can’t you speak anymore?”

…

Kong Heng’s family urged him relentlessly, continuously persuading him.

And it seemed Kong Heng himself was also wavering.

After all.

Wu Jie was truly daring to shoot!

The magazine was still full of bullets!

To be shot bullet by bullet, such a way of dying was too humiliating, too painful.

Yet…

His own pride and stubbornness, his own dignity and face…

Kong Heng hesitated.

Some people are just like that.

Even though they know they are wrong, under the public eye and others’ repeated persuasion, they would rather be stubbornly obstinate, as it feels too shameful, too face-losing to bow and apologize.

In reality, because of friends and brothers around.

Out of so-called loyalty, to show their bravado, how many would get furiously violent?

Act on impulse?

Such trivial matters yet they fight and fuss, as if only by doing so they can prove themselves to be awesome.

What’s the outcome then?

Win the fight and get detention, pay compensation; lose, and end up in a hospital bed.

And if it resulted in a ‘great victory,’ severely injuring or even killing the opponent, that would be tragic.

They’d “win” a pair of silver bracelets – meaning handcuffs – and a prison cell suite.

Even if they luckily escaped, they would be destined to live a life of worry and fear.

And now…

Bang!

The third gunshot!

Kong Heng’s family, who were trying their best to persuade him, jumped in fright.

Kong Heng’s left calf took another bullet.

Three bullet holes were arranged so evenly that Kong Heng was in so much pain he leaned back.

Hadn’t his family been quick to support him, he would have surely gone down.

“You have eleven more bullets, take your time to think!” Wu Jie reminded him with an icy tone.

The pain made Kong Heng grit his teeth, his whole body beginning to convulse; now he was completely unable to stand steadily.

And his family, supporting him, became utterly anxious.

“You fool!

What are you waiting for?

How many more bullets do you need before you apologize and admit your wrong?”

“Little bastard, are you mute?

Speak up!

Weren’t you quite good at talking big before?”

“Mr.

Wu, please don’t be angry or hasty!

Let us persuade him properly, he’s surely realized his mistake!”

“Please give us some time, Mr.

Wu, we’ll definitely convince him, stop this damn kid from continuing to be foolish!”

…

Wu Jie gave a faint smile, his voice cold:

“If you want him to apologize and admit his mistakes, to make a full confession, then hurry up!”

“And don’t block me, my shooting, is notoriously bad!”

“If by accident it misfires, or I shoot off target and someone gets killed, don’t blame me for not warning you!”

Having said that, Wu Jie checked his watch, as if he was timing Kong Heng.

The fourth bullet could hit him at any moment.

And the two Security Bureau agents standing behind Wu Jie were truly stunned by this operation.

They had thought Wu Jie was exacting ‘private revenge under public guise,’ abusing his power to torment Kong Heng, but what was the result?

Wu Jie was actually ‘recycling waste.’

He was giving Kong Heng, this foul-mouthed and arrogant scumbag, a painful lesson shot by shot, venting Wu Jie’s anger.

But also leading him on gently, as Kong Heng showed signs of confessing, which could lead to a major breakthrough in the case.

Truly a clever move!

Much simpler than traditional torture for confessions, cruder, more direct!

Of course, also far more satisfying!

Time ticked away second by second.

Kong Heng’s family tried their hardest to persuade him, even someone whispered into his ear.

Clearly, they were giving him advice.

The current situation was quite clear.

Refusing to apologize or confess would definitely be a dead end.

Wu Jie would absolutely keep on shooting, playing him till his death.

If he really died, then everything would be lost.

All the anger and resentment, all the unwillingness and hatred, would be meaningless.

Currently, the special case team didn’t have enough evidence to convict Kong Heng.

Therefore, Kong Heng could meet Wu Jie’s demands first, confess to a bit of his crimes.

In doing so, the crime wouldn’t be severe, and with a voluntary confession, it could mitigate his punishment.

Spend a few months in prison, and get a rebirth after that, what’s so bad about it?

Why risk one’s life to foolishly challenge Wu Jie’s bottom line?

A meaningless death, simply a waste of life.

To survive, to have a chance at a comeback in the future, of course, one must endure!

But…

“Time’s up!”

Wu Jie suddenly announced three words, like the tolling of a funeral bell, startling Kong Heng and the others.

“No!

Please, Mr.

Wu!

He’s already realized his mistake!”

“Don’t shoot!

Don’t you dare!

Wretched kid, speak up!

Do it fast!

Fast!!”

“I beg you, Mr.

Wu, don’t shoot; he’s about to speak, any second now!”

Among the urging and shouting, faced with the prospect of a fourth bullet, Kong Heng, under immense pressure, clearly showed a change in expression.

But…

Bang!

The fourth shot rang out all the same.

Again, it was Kong Heng’s left leg!

His calf bone had four neat holes from top to bottom.

The pain was excruciating, unbearable.

Those family members who advised Kong Heng but didn’t dare protect him with their bodies immediately screamed in fear and even burst into loud crying.

And Kong Heng himself could no longer bear it.

“Speak!

I will speak!”

“I’m wrong!

I apologize!

I confess!

I’ll say everything!”

Kong Heng yelled repeatedly, finally changing his attitude under the coercion of Wu Jie and the persuasion of his family.

Wu Jie smiled sternly.

“Alright!

Take him away!”

Special agents immediately rushed over, dragged Kong Heng up, handcuffed him, and took him away.

Blood traced a path along the floor.

And then, his family suddenly realized.

Wu Jie had only ordered him taken away, not treated…
